KETU
~~~~
Even after I reached my home.. My eye fold is still there.. So.. After having lunch.. I took a nap.. And I woke up by my mom by four .. And neha aunty started to doll me up.. And when it's about my time to start to the venue.. they untied the fold.. I opened to see me as a gorgeous South Indian girl... how I dreamed to be in my wedding day...
In a red colour kanchipuram silk saree with golden Zari border.. designed as usually cosily.... and with a designer golden blouse...
And my hair is braided with extension with a golden coins shaped beads and with flowers highlighting them.... in a beautiful way... And golden kasu mala style tilak that matched my ornaments... Something that I am loving...
My ornaments that I am loving to much.. traditional long kasu mala and a modern kasu mala with red stones necklace and my mangalsutra in the middle with kasu mala kundan earrings and my chudi bangles that matched my costumes well... And wearing a red crystal beaded anklet.. and only thing I am missing is gold hip chain..
My sisters and neha & sumathi aunties said me. I am looking gorgeous. And I thanked them... we heard a knock and there comes my brothers varum and nadan..
Me-" wow.... Varun you came back..."
Varun-" how can I not .... when it's my favorite sister's reception ..."
Me-" thanks a lot bro..." but the flight fare...
Varun-" welcome.... as long as ram uncle give me flight tickets to come... I can surprise you a lot..."
Me-"so... it's ram uncle surprise for me..."
Varun -" maybe .... but I have a gift for you ...."
Me-" wow" and at the same time nadan hit in the arm..
Varun-" actually from both of us... " said pointing him and nadan.. I smiled..
Me-" ok.. what... Does my brothers have for me.."
They went and opened the cupboard and took a gift box... And they both gave me the box...
Nadan-" our gift..... that you asked us." I ask them many from a ten paise stamp to private jet .... whatever I see ..I ask them ...
I opened the wrapper of the box.. to see a jewelry box.... wow.. anything it's profit... wait these guys will buy a covering too...
I opened the box to see a gold waist belt... wow ..
Varun-" a jewel... you asked us to buy and give you with our handwork money .."
Nadan-" and we bought like you want...."
Me-" wow.... never expected that my bros do these cute things for me .... thank you so much.... I know you know that I like this.. but I am in cloud nine...loving it...." I wore it.. The thing I missed .. Now got filled...
It is a kasu mala style designed waist belt...
When I asked them wen did they start earning ?... I know Nadan works in a private hospital for a night shift... So he saved it from that for a long time now... And varun said he is investing in share market.. And got the profit.. First profit... And the bought as per my wish for my wedding.. I thanked them.. And preethi and bhanu asked them what they are going to give for their marriage.. Varun said he is a younger one and Nadan said escape.. And both ran out... We are laughing...
Went out of the room to the living area....
Preethi-"enjoy your reception.."
Me-" as usual.. I am going to..."
Nadan-" remember .... Last time it was made by groom side.. But this time by us?" Pointing that my side peoples...
Me-" will.. Remember...."
Varun-" I know you will like this more.... As you will come to know... "
Neha aunty-"too much confidence..... Not good... We are from groom side" pointing her and sumathi aunty..
Nadan-" okay.. Bet... Say us in the end ... Which one you loved and which one you liked.." Directing on me
Sumathi -" deal... Ketu you should say the truth..." I nodded...
We went out.. And there was cart for me..decorated beautiful... Looking majestic... And in which yash is sitting.. He is in a black suit and gave me a hand like a gentleman to get in the cart...
Varun-" what happened to the costume ... I selected for you... Yash?"
Jai-" that one.... He can't manage... "
Yash-" I am sorry... I have never weared vesti.. And it's not staying on my hip... So sorry... They said it's how you like... But I think you like my pride more than that..... Ketu?"I am laughing...actually everyone of us laughing at his plead...
Me-" fine... I don't want any adult rated scence in our reception... So ...okay..." Everyone laughed...
The street is decorated with hanging old age indian lamps.. And trees decorated with serial lights... All the till the venue.. With my collage mates.. Standing both the sides.. And throwing flowers at us... And they road has beautiful kolam designs.. Many peoples wishes as happy married life, etc... And people shouting.... Happy married life to me... Some shouting... Say bye to singles life.. Etc... I am flying in the sky...
I reached the venue... It was super... It was a place I dreamt knowing it's not possible.. In my university campus... Opposite to my college entrance.. A wide vacant area... When I entered the venue... It was decorated in a palace like way.. Mom took us aarti...
Dad-" do you like these arrangements..."
Me-" how would ... I not.. I am loving this... "
Varun-" sumathi aunty.. Hear this... She is loving it..."
Sumathi aunty-" even I am..." And we laughed at her,....
Me-" you literally used... What I said you.. I dream my wedding should be like.. It's my idea..."
Varun-" it's even difficult to make the old peoples over here to accept... And not only that ... To remember a thing that you said ten years back..."
Me-" I accept ... Even with your short term memory loss.. You remembered..."
Varun-" hey?" We all laughed at him...
I thanked all my friends and relatives that came to bless us here... It was fun.. Some one will get up to the stage and will talk about us....And many girls said that I stealed their crush... And said they leave me as I am their cute junior (if it's from a senior) and cute senior(if it's from a junior)... And lovely friend(from my classmates..) and and everyone said yash to take care me well...
And they danced , sung for us.. And we cutted a cake of four layers..
Madhesh-" let's play a game..not us... The groom and bride.." What us.. I looked at yash.. And he looked at me as stunned as me..." Let's welcome them..." Everyone started to cheer for us...
Madhesh-" first game... Simple..."
Everyone cheered..
Madhesh-" let's see how long mr. yashwant can hold ketu in bridal style... " everyone clapped...
Madhesh -" at the maximum till the song ends..." Yash gave me look
Me-" can you...?"
Yash-"don't know... but you were not that much weight that I can't try... but can't give any grantee... anyway they are not going to leave us.. " I nodded...
And people started singing Kayil mithakum song from rachagan by A.R.Rehman... A five minutes song... he carried me all the way till the end like I am a paper...
And I am just looking at him... did he really have human hands or iron man hands...
Madhesh-"so.. can we have another song..?"
Me-" I weigh 52 kg.. I am not five kg madhesh... " yash laughed at my outburst.. and others too laughed at me...
Madhesh-" seems like someone fallen in yash..."
My friends started to shout
"Ketu has fallen in someone's web... and guess who?" And after a second.." a guy that carried her in bridal style for a five minute long song.. Mr. yashwant..."I am blushing
Madhesh-" next game... Simple to yash.." And he looked at me..
Ketu-"we will close your eyes... and you have to feed your hubby... with his direction.."
They tied my eyes and gave me a spoon .... I have to take three gulab jamun.. From a cup, madhesh is holding and go to yash and feed him..
Yash started directing me.. and I feed two gulab jamun two him... When I was taking the third one... I can't manage it.. and
I took and ate it...i love gulab jamun.. why to only feed him.. shouldn't I need one too.... everyone in the reception where laughing.... I removed the tie...
Madhesh-" why did you ate..."
Me-" you know right.... how much, I love gulab jamun.. I can't control it... it was so tempting.. so, I ate.. " yash is still laughing... Everyone stopped.. but he is still laughing...
Me-" yash... stop... are you okay?" He at last controlled his laugh...
Yash-" sorry... it was funny... how you ate that... like someone is going to get it from you... and the reason you said... " and he again started laughing... And I am looking at him as he is crazy...
