~~~~~~~~~~Mahadevan~~~~~~~~~

Krishnan had a slight doubt but was not completely sure or may be he has not got the clue of what I was really doing.

"hmm.. nothing.. " I wiped my hands in the tissue " which flavor you need Sandhya? " I asked getting up from the table.

"for??" Krishnan asked as if his eyes would bulge out.

"You know I always like sss.. strawberry Deva" she replied trying not to be seductive.

D: "what about my flavor then? Chocolate?"

S: "I am always ready for round 2. You know it well. And don't forget my mango as well. That require a special... a separate bowl"

Krishnan looked back and forth at us with open mouth.

D: "of course.. for sure. how will I miss that?"

K: "enna da nadakudhu inga? (what is happening here?) I find your talks with double meaning"

"Cheee.. we were talking about flavours of ice cream. You have a pervert mind Krishna" Replied Sandhya.

"pcch.. very sad.. I thought my sister got married to a good guy but see how dirty your thoughts are. Very much disappointed. I will bring the same chocolate for you Krishna, ok?" I asked.

"Ice cream" Krishnan said

"Of course Ice cream is what I meant" I replied smacking his arms playfully.

He nodded and I then left the place to bring Ice creams for us. Moving away from him I busted in to laugh which I was suppressing earlier.

I went near the dessert area to see Neeru, Anja, and Vicky waiting in the waffle counter. I went and filled myself with the required flavors and came back to the seat.

Krishnan was discussing something. "hey .. where are the others? why they did not come?"

"They all are waiting in the waffle counter. Here you go" I distributed the ice cream I brought to Sandhya and Krishnan.

"Deva.. I appreciate you bought Sandhya a bracelet. But writing 'good girl' in it is too much. She is very bad. She always fights with me, and makes me get scolding from others."

Hearing it , the spoonful of ice cream in my mouth got chocked for a second. Seriously. Why is Krishna so oblivious? Was he this innocent? or has his brain started thinking only about serials after living with Anjana?

"There are plenty of things to say about her. But calling her good girl is something I don't accept." Said Krishna taking a spoonful of ice cream.

I looked at Sandhya and we shared a goofy smile. Krishnan then asked about the grams and wastage, making charges and so on.

"hey wait. I heard her telling she gifted you as well a bracelet. Show me. I have not seen it"

I showed him the bracelet. But then I had a slight fear, what if he notices? Thankfully, he looked at it and then left my hand saying it as nice.

I felt relived for a second .

"wait.. show the bracelet again" he asked and took my hands to have a closer look at it. I tried to not give him, but he was quick enough before I could take any action.

" 'Daddy' " he read it. Me and Sandhya exchanged a quick glance and for a second my heart thudded.

"what ?? Daddy ah?" Krishnan asked perplexingly.

Good.. He did not find it out yet.

"uh.. that's nothing." I dismissed it off taking my hands from him. He too dismissed it and took a spoonful of ice cream.

"you both are total weirdos.. who in the world would present their husband with a bracelet engraved as 'Dad....ddd.......ddddy' " Krishnan's voice faded away with shock at the mention of the word 'Daddy'. Looks like he understood what is the real meaning of it.

He looked at me and Sandhya back to back with a shock face. He tried to tilt my face to him.

"unga rendu peru mooliyum seriilaye.. appo nan nenachadhu dhana?? Krishnan asked.

(I suspect the look of you both. Did I think it correctly?)

I turned my face to my left and tried to hide the smile hardly keeping my fingers on my forehead.

" Daddy . good girl.. ayo yo..en machanah pacha pulla nu lan nenachen.. unoda sendhu avar ketuponara.ila avaroda sendhu nee ketu poneeya? idhuku dhan indha netflix uh..kanda kanda kadha wattpad lan padikadha sonnen kekariya nee?" he said looking at Sandhya

( 'daddy' , 'good girl' , oh god.. I thought you are very innocent. Did you get spoiled because of him or the reverse?this is the reason I was telling you not to ready stories in wattpad or watch netflix)

Just then others came and sat with their plates. "Why is your face carrying a shock Krishna? Why do you look like that?" asked Anjana.

"Your brother is a KD Fellow, you know"

"ei.. Krishna.. en annana pathi yeduvumey solladha.. vaaila veral vacha kooda chappa theriyadhu enga annanuku"

(literal translation: ei.. Krishna.. don't say anything about my brother. He does not even know to lick fingers if they are inside his mouth.

Actual meaning: She meant Deva as naive and innocent. )

"Yaaru.. unga annana?? ipo dhan konja nerathuku munnadi veral chapinadha na pathene.." he. I sensed him look at me as I had my gaze on to my plate laughing at his words.

(who is innocent? Your bro? Just now I saw him licking his fingers)

"oh God.. Krishna.. why do you talk dirty? haan.. remember ladies are here" said Vicky.

"yaaru nanu.. Dei.. enna vittutu poiteenga da .. ivanga rendu perum konja nerathuku munnadi enna pesinanga theriyuma? ennanlam pannaga theriyuma? adha vida vera onnu en kannula maatichu paaru.. andha bracelet.."

(me??? You guys left me with these two.. But do you know what all these two were talking earlier?A thing about his bracelet caught my attention)

I quickly closed his mouth pulling him towards me.

"chee krishna.. don't you have sense? why do you want to listen to other couple's conversation?") asked Anjana and bet him on his back.

"Very bad of you . I did not expect this from you" added Neeraja. The rest of all laughed at his state.

Removing my hands from my mouth, "Neeru .." Krishna started

"Neeraja.." Vignesh corrected him , stressing her name with gritted teeth.

"ss.. ivan oruthan.. Neeraja.. you are too much of an innocent soul to live among these people"

(fine. will call her as Neeraja)

May be Anjana and Vicky understood except Neeraja.

We all laughed out heartily leaving that topic there and completed our Lunch. Sitting near a shade area post the lunch , we spent time talking about random things, our plan for travel for the next time and so on.

Half an hour later, we decided to go play volley ball. Myself and Vignesh came with the net, while Krishna went to get the ball. The ladies were near the game room examining the other games that are for play.

We came out talking something when we saw few girls taking selfie. They seemed to be college girls who came with their friends.

We three looked at each other. The girls were talking something in Telugu.

"Does any one know telugu?" Krishnan asked me and Vignesh

"man.. we have Sid Sriram. That is enough" I replied him.

"Andhra Tamil Nadu ku friendu dhan machi" Vignesh said.

(Andhra and Tamil Nadu are friends)

"red da. " said Vignesh again looking at a girl who was wearing a Red tight fitting dress.

inkem inkem inkem kavalaey chaley idi chaley

We three sang , not so loud to get in to eve teasing case, but amongst ourselves.

The girls seemed to giggle for nothing and was taking selfies.

"ennadhan da indha ponnunga pesi siripanga? summavey pathu sirikarangala, ila unmayavey adhula edhachu joke iruka?" queried Vignesh

(About what these girls are laughing? do they simply laugh or is there really any joke for which they are laughing?)

"that's unnecessary. How about the black dress?" asked Krishnan. We three looked at each other. The girl was wearing a knee length bodycon dress and her bare long slender legs were looking good, but not equal to Pooja Hegde. Still we cannot stop looking at her.

Nee kaallani pattuku vadalanannavi Choode naa kallu

The girls then moved to different place giggling and talking amongst themselves.

Undiporaadhey Gundey Needheyley..!

The girls were leaving and we heaved a sigh keeping a hand on our chest.

"the Red was good overall than the black" I stepped in with my point.

"she was the one who was near swimming pool earlier right?" Krishna added.

"you both saw her already? I noticed her even before that . She was in front of me in the waffle counter. Over makeup and too much of perfume. I guess it is KS. " Vignesh chipped in.

"And the other girl who had b.." Vignesh started and I quickly closed his mouth.

"what ever . But no one can beat our Tailor akkaaaaaahhhhhh" Krishnan shouted as his back head was hit with the volley ball.

We turned to see Anjana standing.

"Shamelessly you are gawking at girls haan? that too when you have come for an outing with your wife?" Anjana asked.

"hello.. its not me alone. Ask the other two as well"

"ponna patha manna pakara parambara.. enga annan" added Anjana.

(he never looks at girls)

"Ya he did not even sight me properly before our marriage. How would he even sight other girls?" added Sandhya.

Krishnan turned to Neeraja. " he is a saint. simply waste no comments" said Neeraja making us all laugh at Vignesh. But only we knew about him. Precisely me and Vignesh alone.

Me and Vignesh never talked with girls or hung around. We belong to morattu singles gang. But we do take a look once at the girls and it just stays with look alone. Our talks stay only within us.

Common that is boys. We are not complete saints. And for the record, girls do gawk at men , sight them and discuss about their features.

And , me and Vignesh too are fans of Tailor akka. Just akka avlo dhan.. Neenga nenaikara maari illa.

(Just sister. Not like what you think haan)

(Author: I don't think I need to explain who is Tailor akka. Those who don't know check instagram. And readers can mention in the comments whose fan you are. )

We all then played volley ball for some time and then shifted to playing badminton. Earlier with Krishna it was always a brother in law relationship that I had.

But now, we three have formed a gang. This trip has created a new bond in us. Though he is just 3 years younger to us, he got gelled with me and Vignesh easily.

~~~~~~~~~~Sandhya~~~~~~~~~~

Currently, Vignesh and Deva are playing badminton, while myself and Neeraja sat on the bench watching them.

Krishna who was playing with them went to accompany Anjana as she got her periods just now. Anjana felt little sad when she got her periods. Krishnan insisted in accompanying her to the room than me. Hence I stayed back.

Deva did not want to ask anything more and make her get emotional. Hence he acted normal and played with Vicky.

Vicky and Deva had a tough competition. Both were playing well enough . To be honest, Vicky played better than Deva and they both had a tie. Hence they started with next round.

The way these both were playing, was making us sit at the edge of the seat. It was nerve wracking. Why do these guys play like these? they are not in Olympics. But these two got in to very serious mode.

I saw Neeraja who was looking at longingly and lovingly at Vicky. I have been noticing her from the beginning. Vicky is very playful with her, not understanding her feelings. The small touches that he make on her give her butterflies.

But he is not ready to realize that. "thank god my periods got over last week itself" said Neeraja looking at the game.

"I still have one week time" I replied.

May be Neeraja and Vicky have not yet started their life together. I just prayed Vicky would realize Neeraja's love for him.

While we were talking, Anjana and Krishna came back.

"how are you now?" I asked.

"fine. Let me just sit here" she replied. Myself and Neeraja scooted a little to give space for her and Krishnan.

He decided to sit beside Anjana as the match between Deva and Vicky was going intense.

"edhuku ipdi rendu perum veri kondu velayadranga?" asked Krishnan

(why do they play aggressively?)

"both are in to Badminton. They are always like this" replied Anjana.

As the time passed by, the match grew very intense. Deva was in full swing playing like a monster. He missed few shots but then was thinking something deeply. What was he thinking about? Any strategy to win over Vicky? who knows?

5 minutes later, Deva was too aggressive in his play giving very tough competition. Finally he won the match scoring 2 points higher than Vicky.

We congratulated them. Having evening refreshments, we strolled along the beach as a couples giving private time for each other.

"Hey Deva..why is your friend Vicky this much blind to Neeraja's love?"

"who Vicky? no way"

"she likes him. And I don't think they have started their family life yet. Vicky always plays with her and does not look at her like his wife. He is a saint like she says"

"He is definitely not a saint. And he is not that blind to not notice it. May be he would be thinking to start after he goes to UK. Or she might be afraid and he might have thought to give her time to adjust. Trust me men will always have a plan on all this.."

"hmm. I think you are right. If in case, she gets preggo now, she cannot travel. That might also be the reason"

He nodded his head in approval. I entwined my fingers while we walking on the shores of the beach.

"pcch..Sandhya. no. maintain distance. Earlier what we did was also wrong. We should not behave like that in Public. I too got carried away because of you and did all that. God.. Krishna definitely would think bad about me. All because of you Sandhya" He said removing his fingers gracefully and walked with a decent distance from me.

"sss.. chill Deva..I will not do anything. And Krishna would not think anything like u said. I know about him. He would not say to anyone as well. We all are married and matured adults."

"you always talk in support of him. Then why do you want to fight with him often?"

"We are like that"

After spending some alone time on the beach, we gathered to the area where a dj part was arranged. We are not good dancers, but had full fun trying to dance something. Deva strictly denied dancing with me when some romantic songs were played.

Then the DJ played some folk songs. Deva and Vicky danced like anything. Krishnan too joined them.

Spending a fun time with the gang and as a couple privately, we called it a day. Bidding bye we departed to our respective houses.

It was really a nice day. I really enjoyed it and felt more happy.
