MAMATHALA THALLI.. VODI BAAHUBALI..
Parthavi groaned as her phone kept ringing. Raghunandhu found it very amusing as he saw her hide her head beneath the pillows and get back to sleep with her face down.
"Parthavi..
He called taking the pillow away. She groaned more and closed her face with the quilt making him chuckle.
"Parthavi.. Your mother is calling and I don't think she would approve if I pick it up.. Shall I?
Parthavi sat up suddenly with a startle, and looked unfocused for a moment and then snatched the mobile and kept it to her ear.
"Good Morning!
She said groggily. On the other side she heard giggles and so did he.
"Hello?
"Sleepyhead! Inka levakunda.. What are you doing.. Still sleeping?
"What else do you expect?
"Idiot!
"Bhoomi!?
"And at last she recognizes me.
"What the! What are you doing there with Amma's mobile.
"I can borrow my Athaiyya's mobile right? Enti Athaiyya?
Bhoomi spoke in a loud tone calling for Prabha who replied positive, possibly from kitchen.
"Yeah yeah! Sure ex lover
Raghunandhu chuckled making Parthavi glare at him.
"What was that?
Bhoomi asked and Parthavi choked.
"Nothing. Tell me to what do I owe this pleasure of you calling early in the morning and disturbing my beauty sleep? And What is Vasudhara doing there without going to college?
"You need to check your memory again Baathu.. I am on study leave as my exams are coming. And we called to wake you up.
"When did I appoint you both as Alarm clock?
Again Raghunandhu chuckled and got hit by a pillow.
"Parthavi? Is that Ved beside?
"Er.. No.. Why did you wake me up with my very nice name?
"Why are you sleeping still when you should be enjoying with Raghu?
"He will be sleeping himself Bhoomi.. OUCH!
She said as the pillow came straight back to hit on her face.
"What?
"Nothing.. Just twisted my hair.. So you were saying?
"Wake up and go around places with him. Get to know him?
"Bhoomi! I have much time..
"Don't! Listen to me.. This time doesnt come back. Just enjoy the time away from family okay?
"Okay nanamma..
"Yei.. Chee po!
"How is Amma Bhoomi?
"Its only been a day Kanna..
"I know.. But still.. After almost 4 years, I am being away..
"I know.. I am here right? Me and that kutty kothi are keeping her busy. You just enjoy and return back with stories to entertain me. And as Harshu if she and those two pilla kothis liked what I sent for them.
"What was it?
"Red Velvet cake..
"FOR ME?
"Learn to make for yourself. Or even better ask Raghu to learn and make it for you!
"You evil, vile cruel little..
"Yeah yeah.. Thank you.. Now dont forget that little lingerie store there, Instore..
"Shut up Bhoomi..
"Baathu, dont eat up my bava, bring him safe.
"Po ve Loosu
Parthavi heard a song in the background that made Bhoomi and Vasudhara squeal and giggle and make Parthavi frown. Without making her wait much, Vasudhara's voice came through her phone irritating her.
Nava manmadhu, athi sundaruda.. Nuvu choosina aa ghanudu..
Akka.. Evare atagaadu.. Itte Nee manasunu dochaadu
Parthavi groaned and Raghunandhu laughed mouthing.. ME!
Then Bhoomi's voice came.
Sri Raghavuda.. Raghunandhanuda.. Nuvvu valachina aa priyudu..
Chelli.. Evare atagaadu.. Thulle nee vayasuki jatagaadu
Raghunandhu spread his arms wide and started swaying mouthing ME ME ME.. that made Parthavi throw a pillow and her travel pouch, that had her toiletries making him chuckle and miss them.
"SHUT UP! I WILL CALL AMMA LATER YOU IDIOTS!
She yelled.
"THANK YOU!
They both yelled back and cut the call as Parthavi got down from the bed and chased Raghunandhu who was running for his life.
"Parthavi.. Stop..!
"You could have got me caught.
"So what.. We are engaged!
"We are in India! Not in some other place where this is allowed. You are so dead.
"Oye! You are supposed to marry me!
"While you were supposed to be in your penthouse!
Raghunandhu had had enough. So he turned and caught her in his arms taking her by surprise.
"Well..
"LEAVE ME!
"Good morning sleepyhead!
In response she only pushed him and stood glaring at him.
"Them calling me and disturbing my sleep was not enough that you had to giggle and get me caught..
"Hey dragon!
"Yeah right now I might just become one and burn you down to ashes. Moddhu!
"Oh come on! You talk like that and expect me to stand like statue? I am human
"Seriously! You are Pathetic.
"And you are stinking
"I did not brush! OMG I have to brush! And Bath
"And you have an hour to get ready
"For what?
"A little adventure.. Come on woman get ready!
"May be you should bath too Mr. I am Bossy!
"I am freshly bathed. I just need to change my clothes, Ms. I am GroggyInTheMorning
"Not bad! You are getting good in this nicknaming. And dont try to fool me. I know you haven't bathed Stinkypunk
"Learning from the master herself! And yeah, I will bath
"Cheek! Good! Now let me go and bath and so do you.
"Please..
Scowling she turned and went to brush, bath, etc and etc., while Raghunandhu went to bath and change to his Navy blue shirt, white pant and black belt. His wavy hair was dancing in the air. He took out his mobile and dialed his mother's number.
"Hello Amma
"Nanna Nandhu.. How is Parthu?
"Amma! I am your son, calling early in the morning and you ask about her? Seriously?
"Aapu ra rei! Stop your drama. How is she? She is not used to staying away from her parents kada?
"Avunu amma, but I think she is managing well.
"How do you know? You have a secret telescope or what? From your penthouse to Prithvi's house?
Raghunandhu bit his tongue as he realized his blunder.
"I mean, yesterday night, at party she was good and when we dropped her later also she was fine.
"And poddune when you woke her up also she was fine.
"Amma?
"Orei.. I have Sreenu's number! And Sreenu is very bad at lying to me!
"Sreenu!
Raghunandhu groaned in low voice.
"Its okay Nandhu, I know you both and I trust you. I am your cool Amma!
Raghunandhu chuckled.
"Sorry Amma, yesterday situation was like that. I will explain everything when I come this weekend.
"Okay Nanna. Take care and call Rishi alludu, he said he wanted to tell you about something.
"Okay amma, I will. You take care.
He cut the call and turned to see Parthavi standing there with her mobile in her hand. She looked so cool in her white top and light blue jeans and her hair let down waving in the cool breeze that was coming from the open french window.
Parthavi was standing there without winking her eyes.
Parthavi forgot the phone call she was supposed to be on before she saw him. She was talking to her mother. Sometime back Parthavi called Prabha.
"Hello Lakshmi Prabhavathy
"Osei! Cheepurakatta tho naalagu thannulu! How many times I have asked you not to call me by my full name
"So I can call you Prabhavathy?
"Yei!
"Okay okay! Calm down. Cooking done?
"Its 10 in the morning. What do you think?
"Okay.. Vanta over and madam is halfway through Lalitha Sahasaranamam.
"Yes! So, how was the party?
"Good. Met all my friends.
"Tell me something new. You always meet them.
"Amma Prabhavathy.. I met others too. Mainly Sathya
"Sathya was there?
"Yeah..
"How is Vedu?
"He is his usual self.. Why?
Parthavi asked curiously. Prabha hesitated and then brushed of the subject.
"Yem ledu. Where is alludu?
"Ahh.. eerrr.. Mmm.. in his penthouse?
"Really? Bhoomi.. He is in penthouse anta
Parthavi bit her tongue and closed her one eye wanting to bang her head somewhere.
"Okay Amma. I am sorry.
"I know Amlu. Just be careful and don't drive him away even before the wedding.
"Please! That man is not ready to even move aside a minute Ma. Ahhh.. Bhoomi can shut her giggling. Now we are going out. Will call you later Ma. Bye..
Parthavi took the phone off her ear to cut as she walked to the living room and found Raghunandhu standing there looking all breathtaking in his formals. Parthavi never thought a man could look so cool in formals. Yet the example was there in front of her eyes. She forgot her phone.
Raghunandhu smiled.
"Hey
He said. Parthavi blinked her eyes like coming out of trance.
"Hi
She said trying to find her lost voice. Raghunandhu chuckled.
"Ready?
"Yeah!
"Lets go then. Padha
That's when Parthavi frowned.
"Wait..
Raghunandhu stopped on his tracks.
"Where are we going?
"To London.
She took a pillow off the couch and hit him.
"Hey! I am not your husband yet. After marriage you can hit me.
"Where are we going?
"First we are going to my office cafeteria for Breakfast and morning coffee.
He said among the hits. Parthavi calmed down.
"Now that is something I liked to hear. If you were taking me anywhere without those, I would have eaten you alive.
"Oh ho! I cannot go on with the day without eating. How do you think I would expect that off you?
"Aha my Mr. sensible
"Thank you my dear Ms. FeralKittens.
"Shut up!
At that moment they heard a noise outside and both went out. There parthavi saw a gorgeous bike being parked by Sreenu. Parthavi was literally drooling over the bike.
"HYOSUNG ST7!!! AAAHHH
Parthavi ran to the bike scaring Sreenu making Raghunandhu laugh.
"Don't mind Sreenu, Parthavi loves the bike tad a bit more than me.
"Oh shut up! I just love the bike.
"Oh meeru kadu anta sir.
Sreenu laughed. Parthavi ignored both and was just caressing and drooling over the bike.
"Mr. I am Very Secretive. Mind telling me about the beauty here?
"Bhargava's first gift after we bagged our first profit from the business.
"What a gift! Bava has awesome taste.
"It was Nana's wish.
Sreenu's laughing stopped, Raghunandhu's face lost its smile. Parthavi did not react for moment. Then she smiled looking at Sreenu who left from there nodding his head to Parthavi knowing his boss and friend needed this time with this person.
After he moved out, Parthavi held Raghunandhu's collar and pulled him to her.
"Nana's wish.. Hmm.. Wonder why Bava thought to fulfill it
Raghunandhu held her shoulders.
"I don't know. Ask your bava.
He said in low voice.
"I know my bava well.
"What?
"He gifted you because he wanted Nana to be happy so that you will be happy. Nana is always there. And Bava is next to Nana in your life. So instead of hanging that long face of yours, smile now. That will make Nana smile too.
Raghunandhu smiled leaning his forehead on her as she adjusted his collar and smiled up at him.
"Now that is like my Moddhu Architect. Come on now. Take me on this beauty here. Else I am driving that on my own which you don't want
Chuckling Raghunandhu asked her to first lock the house and then both drove off in the bike.
Raghunandhu smiled as he saw Parthavi's hair flying wild through the rear view mirror.
"Hey Ms. Wildhair. Why did you remove your ponytail?
"I anyway should do my hair again, so why not enjoy fully before bearing the consequence eh Mr. Rider?
"You are mad. Has anyone told you that?
"Many! Why ask other. I can tell that myself. Hear it. YOU ARE MARRYING A MAD WOMAN!
"You hear it too. YOU ARE MARRYING AN EQUALLY MAD MAN
Seeing their craziness, people on the road gave them, silly looks. Mainly the younger lot were giving them this knowing smile that shut them up chuckling.
"Parthavi, there is no way that you are wearing that T shirt!
Raghunandhu said sitting near the mirror in the trial area of the shop they had come after a nice light morning breakfast in his office cafeteria. Raghunandhu thanked Sreenu for making the area deserted saving him the embarrassment.
Now he was trying to dissuade her from buying a T shirt that was in this Green shade with brown horizontal stripes. Against his warning, she tried that on her capri pants, that made him groan.
"Parthavi, please
Parthavi laughed.
"Are you trying to tell me what I should buy and what I should not?
"No! But seriously, have some mercy on me woman! Those are casuals which you are going to wear and parade in our house in front of our family.
"I wear for myself
"I know.. But still.. Parthavi, that color doesn't sit well with you..
Raghunandhu was inches away from wailing.
"Stop! I am not buying that. I was just trying to irritate you.
"That was not funny!
"Your face was..
Saying she went inside carrying a blue button down shirt, and then a set of blue capris and pink long top.
"Now those were awesome!
Raghnandhu said as they came out of the trial area.
"Yo.. they were, but I am going to buy only a set of those white skirt tops and this blue shirt.
"But that pink and blue capris?
"No! For this month this only. We have a lot to shop and I am not gonna waste everything on casuals
"Hey that is bad.
"No! I get a chance to drag you back to shopping. Which I hate
"Never in my life I saw a woman who finished shopping within an hour!
"Get used to it Mr. Architect.
Chuckling they made way to the billing counter. But Raghunandhu went back and came in few minutes.
"Forgot my mobile
"Ahh! We need to make habit of hanging on to them
"Yeah!
They came out with Parthavi holding the bags in spite of his offer to carry them.
"Where is the Mom and Me shop?
"Madam.. Last I remember, we are yet to be married.
"Don't get any ideas Mr... I meant for Ishu.
"Ahhh! Okay come..
Chuckling both went to the shop and bought a red car seat stroller combo after mulling over it a lot.
"Whoa!
"First choice is always best choice Parthavi.
"I know! But I.. I don't know.. Well, let us just hope they dont have one already.
"They can have it for the second baby.. Or even better, let us have it for ourselves. Future requirements..
"Shut up!
Parthavi said. But she could not control the color spreading on her cheeks that made him laugh merrily.
Soon they were out of the mall and Raghunandhu was taking her somewhere he wouldn't say.
"RAGHUNANDHU NARAYANAAA
"Shhh! Quit shouting
Raghunandhu said depositing the earlier shopping bags in the deposit counter.
"WHY DID YOU BRING ME HERE?
"Why will I bring you to a lingerie shop?
"Shut up!
Raghunadhu chuckled.
"Seriously Parthavi. Bhoomi akka said something about a se..
"Shh! Will you please shut up!
"What?
"I have never gone to these shops without my mother!
"You expect her to come along after marriage too?
Parthavi glared at him.
"Get used to it Parthavi. It is going to be like this from here on!
She pulled him closer blowing an angry breath.
"There is a problem!
He frowned.
"Enti?
"Size!
"What the!
He looked scandalized. Parthavi looked sheepish.
"Yes! Amma used to buy me things. I never bothered. Sometime before I tried to be bold while shopping.. Which is not the case actually. I hate it and I have never been to shopping on my own. Weren't you listening what I said to your mother while selecting Engagement sarees?
"All that is okay.. But this.. Size? SERIOUSLY?
"Shhh! Yes!
"You.. I.. Very well..
Raghunandhu called a lady who was there to help and whispered something in her ears which made her giggle.
"Go with her!
"What?
"Go!
"Come madam!
Saying the lady took her inside and after some half an hour Parthavi came blasting out.
"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?
"Bhoomi's idea!
"I AM SO GONNA FIRE HER BEHIND!
Raghunandhu laughed.
"Come on Parthavi. She was only helping.
"With THAT? And HOW DID YOU..
"Will tell you in private. Now.. let us pay for it..
"I am not paying for THOSE!
"Okay then! Excuse me, Make the bill under my name..
"SHUT UP!
Saying she groaned and walked to the billing counted while laughing he went to get back the bags from where he deposited earlier.
"I am not going shopping with you!
"No choice Ms. I don't know my size
"Shut up Mr. I know all about straps and Laces!
"Only for my Wife.. I mean, my fiance..
"Urhhh! Infuriating! Irritating..
"Loving..
"Yeah.. Loving.. WHAT? NO! YOU ARE FRUSTRATING!
"You are erupting!
"THANK YOU
"Dragon!
"Moddhu!
Laughing, he started the bike towards Ishaani Sanjeev's home for the lunch they have been invited.
Raghunandhu parked the bike and took all the shopping bags as he saw Parthavi engulfing Ishaani in a nice long hug. Raghunandhu chuckled.
"Parthavi! Give the gift
He said shaking Sanjeev's hands. But Sanjeev went on to hug Raghunandhu surprising him.
"Welcome to the family!
Raghunandhu smiled and looked at Parthavi who was smiling too.
"Sanju Bava.. too much formalities. He has no choice!
Both men laughed.
"And you ishu.. How is my princess?
"It could be a prince!
"Who cares! I AM A PINNI NOWWW
Everyone laughed. At that moment, Arush came running and hugged Parthavi's legs. Eyes twinkling, Parthavi took Arush in her arms as he kissed her.
"Hey kannaaa.. You are here already?
She said kissing his chubby cheeks.
"Atha.. nenu.. Chelli, Amma nanna..
He said and on cue they heard anklets clinking as the baby girl ran and hugged Parthavi's legs. Parthavi carried her on her other arm and exchanged kisses making her giggle.
"Give them to me Parthavi and give Ishaani her gift.
Saying Raghunadhu dropped the bags on the couch and took the kids in his arms as Parthavi gave the stoller to Ishaani who smiled.
"Pinni gives the gift to the baby eh.. And that too Red color. Why am I not surprised!
"Because you are not.
Parthavi glared and Raghunandhu frowned.
"Red?
"Oh come on! Raghu bava... you never understood after shopping with her?
"Boss! Parthavi is attracted to red color!
"Ahhh!! No wonder, she chose this first and nothing else could convince her!
"Shut up! You werent any different either
"Because Red is a good color
"OH NO! ONE MORE SANJU!
Sanjeev laughed at his dramatic wife when everyone came out from the room on the side.
"Hey kotha pelli kuthuru
Everyone yelled making Raghunandhu and parthavi chuckle.
"Seriously guys?
"Oh shut up and learn to be the shy bride!
"Sorry.. He has taken up the role for me
Parthavi said pointing to Raghu whose ears were red already. Everyone laughed.
"What were you doing in that room?
"We all bought gifts.. And since that is supposed to be the nursery, we were decorating it with the gifts.
Anbu said.
"You were decorating? Or making bhas bro do it?
"Ahh you know your friend well Parthavi!
Came the voice of a young man who stood beside Anbumozhi who was jabbing his stomach.
"Outrageous! Anbu.. Bro Paavam!
"Shut up Partha
She said. Raghunandhu smiled.
"Hey there Mr. Architect! I am Mr. Web designer. I mean.. I am Bhaswath Vignarajan, sometimes known as Mr. Anbumozhi.
Raghunandhu smiled shaking hands with Anbu's husband after giving Arush and Mitra to Matheysh.
"I am Mr. Laddoo..
A man who looked like a grown up teddy bear said making Lakshya hit his head.
"His name is Veer, Raghu jeeju
Raghunandhu laughed.
"You do look like Mr. Laddoo Veer!
"Marriage agrees well with me
He said pulling Lakshya into his arms making everyone make a noise.
"Where are Aakarsh and Kailash?
Matheysh asked looking around. At that moment, his kids pulled two men who were drenched in sweat.
"Aah! That is my clumsy man! Aakarsh!
Said Tasha as she ran to her husband and gave him a towel.
"And that is my Fiance of long time, Kailash! The Commitment phobic.
Said Rashika as she removed her partner from the clutches of Arush.
Raghunandhu smiled at both men and shook their hands.
"Amma Mathiiieee... Enough of decorating the nursery. Bayatiki Raavammmaaa... Ramulammaaa
Ishaani called making everyone laugh.
"And bring that sorry husband of yours too.
Matheysh called.
Vidya came out of the room pulling a young fellow along. She scowled at her friends.
"My name is VIDYA! And don't call me Ramulamma!
She breathed fire through her nose.
"Relax dragon!
Said the man.
"Shut up Sarvesh!
She growled making RAghunandhu chuckle.
"Another dragon?
He whispered to Parthavi who swatted his arm making him laugh.
"Hello boss.. Given time, you will understand that all these ladies here are dragons
Sarvesh said to Raghunandhu shaking his hands.
"True that. No wonder they are friends
Raghunandhu and Sanjeev said earning glares and jabs. The men laughed happily.
"Where are Nawaz, Priya and Yuva?
Parthavi asked. Nazneen came there cutting the call she was attending.
"Yuvi Bava's car broke down. So Nawaz has gone to help the car to the mechanic and bring them here.
"Yuva Krishna is Priyanka's husband. They got married recently and they just returned from honeymoon!
"And he has taken his car after so long that the idiot forgot to check the oil and fuel
Came the voice of Priyanka who entered glaring along with her husband.
"Come on cut that man some slack.
"Yeah! Please Priya! I am sorry.
"The fate of every married man!
Every man shook their head. Nawaz, Veer and Raghunandhu looked at each other and their fiances!
"Shut up!
The girls yelled together
"Sit up
Came two other cute voices making everyone laugh.
"Kailash! Table ready?
Rashika asked as everyone entered the Dining room.
"It is!
Rashika gasped as she saw the spoons all lying down.
"Nanu enu helide? And what have you done?
"Naanalla Rashi. Arush and Mitra came the last moment. Aakarsh and Veer let them go their merry way
Kailash said looking around to see grinning faces at his fate.
"Leave it na rash! You know these two monkeys!
Harshita came to rescue.
"DONT CALL THE KIDS MONKEYS!
And everyone yelled.
"Okay baba! They are just spoons. We are used to eating with hands right. So its kay
Matheysh said as Raghunandhu picked up the spoons and put them for washing.
"Hey wait!
Priya called.
"Where are Ved and Sathya?
Harshita asked frowning. Parthavi frowned looking at Raghunandhu who was equally clueless.
"I tried calling them both. But they are not answering.
"Because we were on the way.
They heard and turned to see Sathya and Vedmohan standing there smiling. But everyone could easily see through the smiles.
"Ishu! For you
SAthya said handing her a baby carrier and A small box. Ishu opened the box and saw a beautiful mug with a smiling baby pic on it that made Ishaani give her wide smile.
"Thank you
And it was lunch time. Sanjeev made an elaborate display. Everyone were so into the food and kept praising Sanjeev's cooking irking Ishaani which led to nice laughs. After that, everyone came to the theater room with glasses of grape juice made by Raghunandhu, since Sanjeev made a long sorry speech as he could not get champagne due to Ishaani being pregnant which led to another round of laughs.
"So! What movie?
All the girls looked at each other and said
"MIRCHI
Together making the guys groan.
"Seriously girls. Leave those two idiots alone.
"NOT A WORD AGAINST THEM
The girls teamed up together.
"Guys guys! We all know our ladies' obsession with those two crackpots. So lets not get there. Shall we play a game?
Ved asked which was welcomed with claps.
"Voice of wisdom eh!
Sathya said smirking. Ved smiled.
"Man gains it at some point. Learns the hard way you know?
Ved gave it back. Raghunandhu and Parthavi intervened knowing the underlying tension.
"Ah ahh.. What is the game?
"Hmm.. Have you ever?
"YEi.. Po ra! We play it all the time
Laddoo said with boring expression.
"And there is no Champagne or wine to play.
Priya said sulking. Sanjeev tapped the remote of the music system and the song played irking the girls.
RANGU RANGU.. OYE..
RANGU RANGUUU.. OYE..
RANGU RANGULA MANDEYIRA...
Nawaz and Vedmohan joined the song dancing in Pawan Kalyan style.
OREBBAAA... MATHEKKI SINDHEYIRAAA..
Arush and Mitra also joined them in dancing. Priyanka and others hit them as Ishaani switched the song and reduced the volume.
"Guys!
Called Tasha.
"Let us play Truth or Dare?
She said and looked around to see everyone having this grin on their faces. Tasha frowned.
"Now that is GAME
Said Rashika. Tasha smiled. Vedmohan rubbed his hands grinning. Harshita and Matheysh put the kids to sleep in the guest bedroom and came there with the baby monitor. Sanjeev bought an old bottle as per Ishaani's order and everyone sat opposite to their partner.
"Spin the bottle
Said Ishaani to Sanjeev.
"Let the game start
Said Vidya.
"JAI MAAHISHMATI
Said the guys irritating the girls.
"JAI BAAHUBALI
The girls returned the favor back. And the bottle spinned. And Sanjeev was the first guinea pig. And Ishaani rubbed her hands with evil smile on her face.
"So Truth or dare Mr. Sanjeev?
Sanjeev tried looking bewildered.
"You know all the truth about me. So.. I take dare, Mrs. Sanjeev
Ishaani smiled, but turned it to smirk as she looked at her husband. Everyone waited with bated breath to see what the dare was going to be.
"Stand up Sanju
He stood up and smiled.
"That's all?
"Not so easy Mr.. Carry me Piggyback.
"WHAT?
Sanjeev looked at her waiting to see if she was kidding. But he saw Ishaani getting ready and walking to him.
"You are serious. But where should I carry you to?
"Hmm.. Good question. I am thirsty. So I want water.
He looked relieved.
"The chilled water from refrigerator downstairs.
Ishaani finished grinning seeing Sanjeev's face. He had no choice as he carried her downstairs and came up as others kept cheering giggling and laughing.
Vedmohan played a song matching the situation perfectly.
NINNU NENU ETTUKUNTE UDUKU VAYASU VANIKENE
NINNU NENU HATTUKUNTE NINGI NELAA KALISENE
NEEMEEDOKKA CHOOPU PADINAA EDALO MANTA RAGILENE
KONTE CHOOPULA KALAVAANI YAVANA DESAPU YUVARAANI
KOUGILI KOSAM ALUKA ENDUKE PALUKE RAADAA ALIVENI
KALALU PANCHE KALAVAANI PEDAVI PEDAVI JATAKAANI
VALAPU KOSAM PILUPULENDUKE MANASE NEEDE MAHARAANI
They came back and Sanjeev deposited Ishaani safely and sat in his place panting making everyone laugh again.
"Seriously Ved?
Ved just raised his brow making everyone laugh as everyone knew that Sanjeev would do anything for Ishaani and he was sulking and being a dramaqueen.
"And there we go again
Vedmohan spinned the bottle and this time it was Priyanka and Yuva with Priyanka on the spot.
"Ahh! Mrs. Yuva.
"Yes Mr. thickhead?
"Truth or dare?
Priyanka gave it a thought and seeing the grin on her husband's face, she made a decision.
"Truth
"How boring!
"Shut up and ask
"Ahaaa! What was your thought about me, on your first date with me
Yuva asked and everyone made a groaning noise. Yuva looked at everyone frowning.
"Bava.. I am serious. You don't want to know
Vidya said. Yuva looked at Priyanka who was grinning now.
"On our first date, I thought.. What a dumb fellow! Does he know what people do on their date? This fellow keeps..
"Eating and looking around the decor. Does he even remember that there is a girl sitting in front of him?
Other girls completed for her. Yuva looked like a pierced balloon.
"Seriously?
"What to do Yuva? You were so busily eating that stupid sandwich you ordered. And you forgot to order for me.
"It was my first date.
"Hello! I haven't been to 100 dates before. You were my first too
Everyone made a noise making the couple go red.
"If you thought so.. Why did you accept the proposal then?
"What can I say? I liked your dumbness
Priyanka said pulling his cheeks making him groan and others laugh. Veer played a song..
ALA ALA GALA GALA, PAARETI NADHILA.. PARUGULEY THESESE CHINNADI..
NAVVUTHU NAA GUNDE DOCHESINDI.. AAAHHHAA... OOOHHHOO
Laughing Yuva spinned the bottle.
Everyone were waiting to see who were to get caught now. And the bottle pointed to Tasha. Aakarsh grinned. Tasha scowled at him in warning.
"Ahan! Tash.. that is not gonna help.
Vedmohan said grinning. Sathya, who sat opposite to him smiled.
"We will see when you and Sathya get caught! Until then shut up
Vedmohan lost his smile for a moment. But then he grinned again.
"Aakarsh bro.. My pities for you!
"Thank you bro
Aakarsh said which ended in a yell as a pillow landed on him. He looked up to see a scowling Tasha. Everyone were enjoying.
"So Mrs. Aakarsh. Dare or Dare.
"What the?
"Given a choice you will pick only truth up Tasha! So you get to take up dare only.
Aakarsh said getting positive response from everyone. Grunting Tasha looked at her husband who was smirking.
"What do you want me to do huzoor?
"Ikkada raa naa pellam.. And kiss and give away that one spot on me that you always fancied
There was a very loud noise.
"Aakarsh Bhai.. You are putting our friend on spot. Get a room
Sathya said.
"Seriously Aakarsh? You are making my theater room your bedroom?
Sanjeev raised his brow.
"Its safe U/V certified guys. You see what my wife does!
Aakarsh said. Grunting Tasha got up and walked to him. At that moment, Sanjeev switched on music system which played Billa BG score as Aakarsh was having this look on his face. Slowly Tasha bend and turning his face she kissed behind his ears making Aakarsh smile and others clap. Closing her face with her palms, she hid her face in her husband's crook making everyone laugh.
"It takes a man sometime to recover that. But still, the game goes on
Saying Aakarsh spinned the bottle which put Vidya and Sarvesh on spot.
"So, truth or dare Mathiee
"My name is Vidya! And its truth
"Boring! Tell me something that you have never told me, but always wanted to?
"Yeah.. I wanted to tell this to you for sometime now. Taking this opportunity, I would like to say... Mr. Sarvesh, please learn to zip your pants yourself! I cannot run around you to remind this.
Everyone laughed as Sarvesh bent and looked at his pant. Vidya raised her brow as her husband grunted.
"I kinda asked for it. Thank you so much wifey. So here guys
Saying he spinned the bottle. Anbu clapped her hands.
"Truth or dare Mr. Anbumozhi Bhaswath vignarajan?
"Dare, Mrs. Vignarajan.
"Wow! So here.. Call Amma
"Your Amma? Athamma?
"No.. yours.. And talk like a credit card agent
"What the?
"What is that anbu?
Sathya asked.
"Ahh Sathya, you don't know right? This fellow here is so scared of his mother that he was almost ready to stay in my mother's place life long as she treats him like some saintly ass.
Everyone laughed as Bhaswath got left and right from his mother. Wiping his sweat, he spinned the bottle glaring at his laughing wife. The bottle pointed to Parthavi and Raghunandhu. Parthavi rubbed her hands grinning.
"Ready Mr. Architect?
"Always Ms. HR
"OOOHHH
Everyone yelled. But these both did not mind.
"Truth or dare? Cheppandi sir.
"Truth nunchi start cheddam madam.
"Aha! Nice.. so.. tell me.. even after I gave you such a tough time in pelli choopulu, why did you say okay?
Everyone gave a loud noise and clap as they saw Raghunandhu's ears going red.
"Now that is a question!
Ishaani said grinning. Vedmohan tapped Raghunandhu's shoulders.
"Cheppu Ra bava..
Sanjeev played the MIRCHI IDEDO song BG score.
"I just liked how straightforward you were, not taking any crap from anyone. To tell you the truth, that was my first pelli choopulu and I never saw your pic before. When you came out wearing that kesari color saree, I couldn't lift my eyes off and then as I spoke to you, I could see my future with you. So I just said okay.
Seeing all the grinning faces and Parthavi's crimson face, he grinned and continued.
"And I always liked challenges and I am not backing away this time either.
He said and winked at Parthavi making her go red as everyone whistled and hooted. Vedmohan clapped his hands hard.
"Parthavi.. satisfied?
Parthavi controlled herself and smirked.
"I am not satisfied that easily.
"I will try my level best
Raghunandhu said making everyone laugh as Parthavi threw a pillow at him making him laugh.
"So get ready guys
Saying Raghunandhu spinned the bottle which came on halt pointing to Harshita.
"Dear wifey, truth or dare?
"Dare Mr. Hubby
Harshita smirked. Matheysh took a towel and put it on his neck.
"Uh oh!
Harshita said as Matheysh came to her with a glass.
"Sanjeev boss..
"Yes Matt boss..
"The song please..
Sanjeev who understood his fellow took the remote and played the song.
"So wifey.. Dance
Matheysh said handing her the glass.
MANDU BABULAM MEMU MANDU BABULAM..
The song started. Harshita held the glass high and gave a hiccup dubbing the song.
MANDU KODITHEY MAAKU MEME MAHARAJULAM..
Matheysh danced along as Harshita danced like a drunkard. Soon Sanjeev and Aakarsh joined pulling Raghunandhu along. Everyone danced and in the end, Matheysh gave a long peck on Harshita's cheek making everyone laugh. And all the boys dubbed for Pawan Kalyan saying,
NAVVINDIII
"That was awesome wifey.
"Thanks hubby
Harshita said giving him the glass and pulling his cheeks. Everyone settled down.
"Quite a talent Mr. Architect.
Parthavi said smiling.
"Thank you Ms. HR
He returned smiling. Everyone made a boring noise.
"Still Mr. and Ms? Are you some couple from the Victorian Era?
Rashika asked. Khailash hit his head.
"I am way better!
"No! They are getting married. But you are not. So don't compare.
Khailash gave a sorry expression. Everyone chuckled as this was very common for them. Everyone knew that Khailash was the responsible male of his family that he did not want to marry until he settled both his sisters because of which he was putting his wedding on hold. This was something that Rashika agreed happily but did not let a chance go by her without making him know what she was doing for him.
"Guys! Enough.
Matheysh spinned the bottle which pointed to Khailash.
"Oh no!
He said looking at grinning RAshika.
"Truth or dare
She asked.
"Truth.
"You are caught Mr. Phobia.. Tell me what happened after you got caught by Princi 6 years back.
"Seriously Rashi? 6 years back?
"You never told me, and I am not letting the chance go.
Khailash sighed.
"I jumped the hostel compound for you.. We went on a date and as I jumped the compound back, he caught me and you were safe inside your hostel already. He took me to the office and asked me if I were there for studying or for.. Going around in the name of date with you..
"And?
"I told him that I went to meet you.. Since you were the chosen one for me by my mother.
"And he called Amma?
Khailash raised his brow.
"And that led to our engagement
Rashika laughed.
"You did that? Amma would have definitely done this to get to the princi who always got on her nerves. God! My Herooo
She pulled his cheeks. Raghunandhu played the music system that blasted..
BHALI BHALI BHALI RA BHALI..
And everyone joined bowing down.
SAAHORE BAAHUBALI
Bowing down in courtesy, Khailash spinned the bottle which pointed to Nazneen.
"Before you ask, Nawaz.. Its dare..
She said folding her hands across her front. Nawaz smiled.
"Ishaani vadina, you have nail paints and lipstick?
"Yes..
She smiled.
"Nazneen.. Take them and do make up for any man here.
"What the! I don't know to do for myself Sham
"That is why you are to do it to anyone else.. Except me.
Grunting, Nazneen brought them and looked around. Sighing she went to Veer and painted his nails and went to Vedmohan and put lipstick for him.
"Cheating!
"You said to anyone.. You never said I should do it on same person! So suck it up Mr. Nawaz Sham Haider.
Everyone laughed.
"She is smart than you give her credit for bro
Veer said to Nawaz who grunted.
"I know! But hey.. Who cares. She is my girl anyway and I like my girl being smartypants
Everyone laughed as Veer played..
EVVARANTA EVVARANTA NINNU ETHUKUNDI..
YE THALLI KI PUTTADO EE NANDHI KAANI NANDHI
Veer bowed as Nawaz posed like blessing him. Laughing he spinned the bottle that pointed to Veer.
"I am already done with Dare Lakky. So truth
He said showing to his painted finger nails that made everyone laugh.
"Gym or walking Mr. Laddoo?
"Neither! Badam halwa made by you!
"Yaar besharam! You are never going to reduce that paunch? Are you?
"No way! Its the nishaani of a happily married man
Nawaz took the remote and played
BHAJA BHAJA RE.. PREMIKA.. PATTUKO CHELI PAADAM
Veer laughing went to fall on Laddoo's feet making her jump laughing.
Veer spinned the bottle and this time, it pointed to one couple that never got in to the action. Vedmohan was at the point and Sathya sat there raising her brow and crossing her arms on her front. Laddoo played the song
JAMUREI VELA LO.. VEERUDALLE VASTADU
BHAAMALU UNNA VEEDHULLO ORAKANTO CHUSTADU..
IDIGO IDIGO ITANE ITANE..
MANA PADUCHU YEDAKU YEDURU PADINA MUDURU MADHANUDU..
PO RA POKIRI RAJA!
"Aba Cha.. Laddoo stop! Sathya.. Its truth
Sathya smiled.
"Date me or marry me?
"Neither
His answer was cutting and short making everyone frown but Sathya was smiling. A very genuine one at that confusing everyone.
"Guys! Its 6!
Sarvesh said looking at the clock. That is when everyone understood that it was 4 hours since they started. Time just ran by.
"Oh boy! Dinner!
Nazneen said.
"Have it here Naz.. I will whip something up
Ishaani said as Harshita went to wake the kids up since they slept for too long.
"You are whipping nothing. I will cook
"Sanju! You cooked lunch already.
"I will cook again
"Guys!
Aakarsh called.
"We all guys will cook?
Girls clapped their hands as Guys groaned.
"Let us show them what we can do.. JAI MAAHISHMATI!
Guys teamed up and ran into the kitchen. Ishaani lamented on what will be the state of her kitchen after they were done. Others consoled her. Chuckling Sathya played a song on her mobile.
GUNNA GUNNA MAAMIDI.. PILLA GUNNA MAAMIDI THOTA KI..
And by the time the song was done, Aakarsh came out with a plate of egg burji.
Behind him came Raghunandhu with a plate of piping hot parathas followed by Veer with a bowl of raita. Khailash came with a bottle of pickle and Nawaz bought the curd rice.
"Orei! You should be bringing Briyani. Look at you bringing curd rice!
"I do what I am best at and what I love the most
Nawaz said placing the curd rice on the table making everyone laugh.
"And Naz likes curd rice too!
"I know.. That is why!
Nawaz said among another round of laughs.
Sarvesh and Yuva brought bowl of carrot halwa and a jar of juice respectively.
"Guys! Seriously?
Sathya asked.
"What did you think of us?
Vedmohan came wiping his sweat after cleaning up the kitchen. Girls appreciated as they ate looking at their guys' handiwork.
The day ended well as everyone left after congratulating the couples on their parenting and married life ahead.
Raghunandhu was starting the car as Vedmohan came to them.
"Bava..
"Sathya and you can stay at my place for another night Mohan.
"Thanks ra. But tomorrow, I booked a flight ticket for Sathya too along with Parthu. I will tell everything in detail later ra.
"Okay.. sathya.. Tomorrow we will come there and then we can leave to airport.
"Okay annaiya
Sathya said smiling and they bid good night.
RAghunandhu made sure the house is locked inside and went to change. Parthavi was already changed and sat on the couch as Raghunandhu came and sat beside her.
"Something happened in Europe Raghu
"I understood ma.
"What do you think?
"Let them come out clean. We don't need to break our heads. Mohan is like kid on the outside. But he is very matured.
"I know RAghu. But Sathya always affected him bad. He got into fist fight once for her. When it comes to her.. Ved..
"I will do the same if it comes to you Parthavi, or anyone whom I consider are worth the fight.
Parthavi looked at Raghunandhu who had this serene look on his face. She smiled but then she frowned.
"Tomorrow I am leaving.
"I know..
"But you will be here.
"Work vundi ra.. I will be there in weekend.
"When are you shifting?
"Me and Bava are closing in on the vizag deal Parthavi. And Mohan is ready, so once we get the building, shift will be on the go..
"But..
"Soon.. Very soon..
He said and gave a long peck on her forehead. She savored it closing her eyes. Putting her arms around his neck, soon she fell asleep and unlike last night, Raghunandhu could not leave her in the bedroom. He sat beside her as she slept holding his Kurta collar. Trying to make this a memory forever Raghunandhu slept beside her with dignity intact. It was an eventful day and he was sure he would enjoy his days with the girl who slept like a baby beside him.
On the other hand in Raghunandhu's penthouse, Vedmohan stood holding Sathya as she cried her heart out leaning on him.
