I never imagined you would say these lines to me instead I dreamed many times I am saying those lines to you omiting that kannama every words suited you) He chuckled hearing her.. And said "It's not about me but us..... How important we are for each other.... Bharathi wrote those lines for his wife chellama....but it's universal poem.....it explain how the relationship works by recognizing the pride of individuals and then appreciating the togetherness..... How both compliment each other....I am not Bharathi but I want you to be my kannama....would you????"Her eyes widened... "Ena... Ungala Kalyanam panika kekureingala????? "(Are you asking me to marry you??? ) He nodded his head.... "Ena kalyanam panikitu en kanamava maruviya Devaki"(Devaki...Would you marry me and become my kannamma) She nodded her head with a smile and hugged him tightly.....
