While they having their breakfast,a group of youngsters came there.They were Ashok's cousins.

'Annaaaaa', they all shouted and came there.
They are three boys and two girls.Girls age were similar to Jaanu and they boys were similar to Karthick.

'Annaa..Annii',they shouted and reached the dining table.
Nithya felt a joy about seeing them.
'Hiii anni',they chorused
'Hiiiii',she waved her hand.

Paati gave a glare at them and they became silent.
They silently went and got blessings from the paati and other elders.

'Vandhadhum varaadhadhuma enna satham..Unga annanu anniyum engeyum poga poradhilla,innum 4 naalu inga dhan irukka poraanga,poi modhella saami kumbuttu, kulichutu vandhu seekram sapdunga nammalam shopping poganum',Paati said firmly and they nodded.

While,Jaanu finished her breakfast and Paati asked her to go along with them to pooja room.She nodded and left with them.

Soon everyone finished their breakfast and Nithya joined with the cousins.They too were friendly with her.

'Anni,epdi enga anna ungala nalla paathukuraara?', Vimal asked.
'Adhellam romba nallave paathukuraaru...',she said looking at Ashok and he winked.
Nithya tried to control her blush but get caught.

'Ada annana pathi sonna odane anniki vekkatha paarungale',Abi said and everyone laughed.
'Ah Nithya, Vimal,Abi,Varun ivunga Ramu chithappa oda pasanga.
'Karan and Keerthi ivunga Venu chithappa oda pasanga',Ashok introduced them to Nithya and she nodded happily.

'Apo Jaanu...',she thought but she didn't ask anything.
'Vimal mama,Karan mama, Keerthi,Abi akka ellarum ready ah polaam ah?',Jaanu came down with a smiling face.

'Ivungala ellam mama nu koopdraa,Ashok ah anna nu koopdra..onnum puriyalaye',she thought and decided to ask Meena or Ashok about this later.

'Modhella paati kitta irundhu escape aaganum!Paati mattum namma kooda vandha,ayoo nammala enjoy pannave vida maatanga',Keerthi said and everyone nodded.

'Enna anga sathom,kelambiyaacha?',Paati came down and everyone nodded yes.
'Apo polaam kelambunga',Paati said and everyone rushed outside.
'Ashok nee vaa vandhu vandi edu',Paati said and Ashok nodded.

'Ahh Nithya,en purse ah en room table mela vechutu vandhuten konjam eduthutu vaa ma',Paati said.
'Hmm seri paati', she said and went inside.Ashok was looking for her.

'Enna da un pondatti varuvaa,nee vandhu vandi ya edu',Paati said and Ashok nodded.He took the car and Paati, Ashok's amma,Lakshmi,Ramya was in Ashok's car.

Paati sat beside Ashok and the other three were in the last seat.
'Aiyayoo enna ivungale occupy pantaanga...namma aalu ku edam irukaadhu polaiye', Ashok thought.
'Indhaanga paati',Nithya rushed from the house to his Car.

She gave the purse to Paati and she get it from her.
'Hmm serii ma,nee pasangaloda vandhuru ma',Paati said and Ashok and Nithya looked eachother.

He shrinked his eyes as sorry,she sighed as its okay.(Naanga kannulaye aayiram pesvom).
He smiled and she smiled back.

Ashok's car was Renault duster 2019 model, only 5 members can sit together.And the car which their cousins came was Scorpio S11,where 8 members can sit.So Nithya joined them.

Vimal,Keerthi,Abi,Karan,Jaanu,Varun and Nithya was in one car.
'Enna anni,annan kooda varala?',Varun asked.
'Illa andha car la edam illa',Nithya said.

'Cha aniyayam ah ipdi love birds ah pirichutaangale...Seri vaanga povom idhulaye',Karan said and Nithya joined.

Karan was driving the car and Jaanu was sitting beside him.
Vimal,Varun and Abi together in one seat.Nithya and Keerthi together in the backseat.

They travelled to the one of the biggest Textile shop.
As they were their often customers,they gave a warm welcome to them.

'Serii ladies section mela iruku,naanga anga porom,neenga unga shopping lam mudichutu vaanga',Paati said to the boys and they nodded.

Then Paati left with the other ladies to the ladies section.
Ashok was pouting because he can't  even talk to Nithya properly after they came out of their room.Karan noticed his dullness.

'Enna ney?Ore dull ah irukeenga?Anni kitta irundhu ipdi pirichutaangale na',Karan chuckled.
'Po da,naane gaandu la iruken',Ashok sighed.

'Chill bro,chill!Namma return pogumbodhu naan andha car ah drive panren,neenga naanga vandha car ah drive pannunga,naan neenga vandha car ah drive panren',Karan said and Ashok smiled wide.

'Deii...en thambi daa nee',Ashok gave a bone crack hug to Karan.
'Adeii,elumbellam norungudhu ',Karan said and finally Ashok left him.

'Deii deii thanks da',he said and patted his shoulders strongly.
'Podhum da dei,podhum',Karan said and they left with others.
And here ladies were busy in searching sarees.

'First namma ellarukum edutharalam,kadaisiya Nithya ku edupom.Yenna Ponnu ku edukka dhana eppavu late aagum,namma velaiya seekrama mudichutaa aprom porumaiya Nithya ku paakalam',Meena said and everyone nodded.

'Seri seri yaaru yaaruku enna enna venumo paarunga',Paati said and Nithya was simply sitting and nodding her head for other's opinion.

'Bore adikudheyy',she thought and she received a call from Ashok.
Her lips automatically curved when she look at his name on her phone.
'One second',she said and attend his call after moving from there.

'Oi pondatti...I miss you'he said in a husky voice.
His voice made her heart flutter.
'Naanum dha miss panne',she said.
'Serii naa video call panren attend pannu',he said and quickly declined the call.

She received a video call and she attend it.
'Maa inga paaren,naa enna colour shirt edukka?',he said showing some shirts.

'White edunga Ashok ey!',she said.
'White ah?Nee enna colour eduthurukka?',he asked.
'Not yet Ashok ey,mathavangaluku ellam paathutu irukaanga.Avngalukellam mudinju dhan enaku',she said.

'Hmm seri..apo enna naan white ey edukkava?',he asked and she nodded yes.
'Serii..',while they were calling Lakshmi called her.

'Nithya...seekram inga vaa ma',she called.
'Idho varen athai...',she replied.
'Serii Ashok ey...naan poitu varen athai koopdraanga.Byeeee!',she said in a hurry.

'Heyy iru di...ipdi dhan bye solluvaangala?',he asked.
'Vera epdi solluvaanga',she asked looking back to find if anyone one is coming.

'Oru flying kiss kooda illaya?',he asked pouting.
'Ashok ey ipo time illa...naa aprom tharen',she said.
'Bonguu nee thara maata..ipove kudu',he said.

'Ashok ey... promise naan nerlaye tharen ungaluku !',she promised.
'Promise panniruka..tharanum',he said and she nodded.

Finally they declined the call and Nithya joined the fam.
'Unaku edukalam ma',Paati said and Nithya nodded humbly.

Then they search bunch of sarees but none of those were satisfied both Nithya and the fam.

'Serii ma,indha saree ah aprom ah paapom,ipo en pethi ku naan oru dress eduthu tharalamnu iruken',Paati said and Nithya looked at her with wide eyes.

'Edhuku athai adhella',Meena said.
'Illa ma,enaku thonichu adhaan! Inga enna pudhu models vandhuruku?',she asked turning to the staff.

'Ipo pudhusa lehanghas konjam vandhuruku madam,ellame pudhusu iniku kaalaila dhan vandhuchu paakureengala?',the staff asked.
'Seri pa konduvaanga..Unaku okay va Nithya?',Paati asked.

'Neenga vaangi tharennu sonnadhey romba happy ah iruku paati,edhuva irundhaalum enaku seridhan',she said with a smile and Paati smiled back.

And they looked for lehengas and finally they chose a maroon colour lehenga.The lehenga was fully worked with white stones and chamkees.

It was looking dazzling.
'Idhu enaku romba pudichuruku ma..idha try pannitu vaa',Paati gave it to her.

'Aama paati romba azhaga iruku.. I'll try it',she said and rushed to the trial room.

She went near the trail room but three of the trail rooms were engaged.
'Adadaey..seri wait pannuvom', before she finish thinking someone pulled her hand inside a trial room.

She was about to shout but looking at the person she huffed in relief.
'Heyy naan dhan kathadha', Ashok said.

'Neenga dhan theriyudhu...Yen ipo vandheenga?',she whispered.
'Heyy enna di...kaalaila irundhu unna olunga kooda sight adikkala..Adhu mattum illama nee edho kudukurennu sonniye adha vaangitu polaamnu vandhe',he winked and she gulped.

'Naan enna kudukurennu sonne',she asked.
'Ohhh...apo unaku nyabagam illa',he asked.
'Illaya',she said like she doesn't remember.
'Apdiyaa?',he asked and moved forward and she stepped back.
In two steps she hitted the wall.He pinned her in the wall and pulled her waist closer.

'Ashok ey...',she whined softly.
'Ashok ey yaaravadhu vandhura poraanga...',she whispered.
'Yaaru ma vara pora inga..',he said and leaned closer to her.

His hot breath was hitting her neck.
'Ash..',before she finish he leaned more closer and inhaled her scent.
Their proximity made her heart somersault.

She clutched his shirt tightly.
He gently kissed her earlobe,shiver travelled to her spine.
'Indha saree la nee paaka evlo azhaga irukka theriyum ah Nithya...',he whispered her ears and she clutched his shirt more tight.

He moved to her face and kissed her cheek.
'Nejamave avlo azhaga irukena enna?',she asked and he again kissed her cheek,but this time strongly.
'Saami selai maari irukka',he said looking into her eyes.

'Serii ipo poonga..',she said.
'Kuduka vendiyadha kudu... Naan poren',he said and she pecked his cheek.
'Podhum ah..kelambunga Ashok ey..',she said.

'Idhellam bongu di..ipdi kannathula kuduthutu poga solra',he sighed.
'Naan kudupen nu dhana sonnen!Yenga kudupenna sollalaye..kelambunga',she said.
'Poo di',he sighed.

'Naan illa ipo neenga dhan ponum',she said and he was about to move.And suddenly she remembers something.

'Aiyoo Ashok ey..Konjam extra sarees lam vaanganume',she said.
'Seri vaangu',he said.
'Ada Ashok ey,enaku indha 4 naaluku kattradhuku venum',she said.

'Serii edukuren..blouse ku?',he asked.
'Haiyoo adhu vera irukulla...Ready made blouse section irukume Ashok ey..Neenga pooi vaangunga venumna help ku Jaanu ah koopdunga,ava anga summa dhan ninnutu irundhaa',Nithya said and Ashok nodded.

'Thank you',she said and kissed his cheek.
'Naa edho perusa edhir pathen',he rolled his eyes.
She suddenly pulled him and started unbuttoning his shirt.

She opened few buttons in his shirt and kissed the mole on his chest gently.Ashok was stunned by her sudden actions.
She again buttoned his shirt.
'Poonga Ashok ey...please',she showed her puppy eyes.

He was sawing her with his jaw down.
She closed his mouth with her finger.
'Poonga Ashok eyy..',she said and he left from there like a human tomato.
She too flushed in red.

He left from there and dialed Jaanu and asked her to accompany him for selecting sarees.She accepted and joined with Ashok.

Nithya finished wearing her lehenga and went to her fam.
She was looking absolutely beautiful.Nithya was dazzling like a queen.

'You are looking beautiful Nithya', Meena said and she smiled.
'Epdi iruku Paati?',she asked.
Paati walked towards her and touched little kajal from her eyes and kept it behind Nithya's earlobe.

'Rombaa azhaga irukka ma',she complemented and Nithya smiled.
'Seri idha poi change pannitu vaa..Namma saree paakalam',Paati said and Nithya nodded.

She headed to the trail room and changed to her saree again.
It was very difficult for her to drap her saree.

'Ada enna karumom idhu...ipdi oru dress ah yaaru kandupudicha',she murmured herself and finally she completed.

Because she always keenly listen when someone drap her saree.So she wore it.

But fleets were not so perfect.
She stepped out from the trail room but she can't walk because her fleets stucked under her feet.
Suddenly someone held her hand and stopped her.

That was none other than Ashok.
He kneeled down and adjusted her fleets.

This gesture of him made her blush.
He stood up and kissed her forehead.
'Saree eduthacha?',she whispered in his ears.

'Hmm',he nodded and they went to their fam.
'Nalla vela Ashok neeye vandhuta..Un pondatti ku neeye oru nalla saree ah select pannu',Paati said.

'Hmm seri paati',he nodded and searched some sarees.
After few attempts,he chose a red colour saree.It was a kancheepuram silk saree and the printed patterns were royal with golden border.

'Idhu romba nallairuke..Idhu try pannu Nithya',he said and gave it to her.

She just put it on her shoulder and looked at the mirror.
The red colour perfectly suits her.

'Enaku idhu romba pudichuruku',Nithya said looking at him.He smiled and lifted his collars.She felt like twisting his moustache but she controlled herself and just smiled back.

Everyone liked Ashok's selection.
'Aama romba nallairuku apo idhey eduthukalam',Paati said and everyone nodded.

'Serii apo ellarukum eduthaacha?Kelambulaama?',Paati asked and everyone nodded.

They left from there and had their lunch in a nearest restaurant.
It was already 04.30pm.And the women wandered some fancy stores and they guys waited for them.Ashok paid for the sarees bought personally for Nithya and he kept it inside Karan's car.

They finally finished all their shoppings and reached the car.It was 6.00pm when they reached the car.
Ashok winked at Karan and he nodded his head.

'Ashok anna,naa unga car ah drive panre..Neenga en car ah drive panreengala?',Karan asked.
'Hmm no problem da..you drive',he said.

'Yen thideernu?',Meena asked.
'Summa dha perimma,anna car nallairuku oti paakalame nu',Karan said and they nodded.

They seated like they seated in the morning.
Karan first left from there.
'Vimal,nee drive pannu',Ashok said.
'Yenn na? Ennachu?',Vimal asked and Ashok scratched his eyebrows.

'Puriyudhu puriyudhu...Naane drive panren!Aana paathune chinna pasangallam irukom', Vimal said and Ashok gave hit on his shoulder.

'Po da..',he said and Vimal smiled.
Keerthi was sitting beside Nithya in the last seat.

'Ai Keerthi..Nee munnadi poi ukkaru',Ashok said.
'Yen?Nee munnadi ukkaru..',Keerthi sighed.

'Aii please Keerthi',he said and looked at Nithya.She smiled sheepishly.
'Ohh...seri serii',she said and moved to the front seat.
He sat near her and pulled her in his embrace.

'Ashok ey..ellarum irukaanga',she whispered.
'Yaaru irundha enna?Naa en pondatti kooda ukandhuruken',he whispered and tightend his grip.

The travel went along with their sweet teases and fun banters.
There was heavy traffic on their way and they reached their home at 9.00pm.

All straightly had their dinner and went to their respective rooms.
