Happy reading📖😘❤!

Surprise🎊🎊

After a year from kannavin's honeymoon!

Maya's POV😜!

It has been 6 months since I completed my studies and a year and half since I proposed my Kathir chellam🙈. He's such a adore but also hell annoying sometimes.

He made me suffer for more than weeks by rejecting my proposal! And when I came to know that he's actually insecure and also jealous of karthi, I can't able to get angry at him.

He was so innocent yet not-so-innocent. That's what I love about him.

Coming to my anni and ammu akka. Anni blessed with a princess 6months ago. And ammu akka blessed with prince 3 months ago. Oops! Forget to tell their names..

My niece name is Yazhini and nephew name is Pratap. Yes, it's Ram machan's brother name(sanju's father).

Both are so naughty and adorable just like me😉😜. And now, anni is in her home and ammu akka is with us. Savitri aththa and suresh mama came and been with ammu akka for the last trimester of her pregnancy. They left after two months since pratap born.

And about my studies, I scored only 72℅ as I get typhoid during exams. I hope kannamma and machan didn't make this issue in my podalanga's issue. Remember our agreement? Scoring more than 90℅ to make machan to talk with anna and appa about podalanga.

Yet I get a job in campus interview. Yes! I'm going to medical coding job for these 6months and my salary is 17000 for now.

You're all wondering why my family didn't talk about my marriage till now right?

Don't overthink.. It's just that some brainless astrologer told that it'll be bad for my husband if I get married before getting 23. Little did he knows that no matter what when I marry, my husband Kathir is going to suffer with me anyways?😝

So yeah! I turned 23 a month ago. And my family already started searching for my groom. This podalanga is avoiding me for the past 2 weeks which I don't know why.

And above this, Kanns and Kavin machan didn't touch the topic of our agreement till now inspite of our family already registered my name in some damn matrimonial sites and so eager in groom-hunting. This making me restless.

Today is Thursday, now I'm going to my home from my work place by my scooty. Oops! Forget to tell, Ammu akka and ram machan bought me a new scooty for myself as my birthday gift😎.

I tried calling this podalanga for the 2 past weeks. But he neither attending my calls nor came to meet me once. What the hell is wrong with him?!😤 He's really getting on my nerves! .

I reached my home. Two little arms encircled my legs as soon as I entered.

Chiththi!!! It was none other than sanju! I picked up her in my arms while cooing.

Aww! My baby doll! Here is your peanut chocolates!(kadala mittai😁) Saying this, I gave her the chocolates which I bought. She jumped in my arms while started eating it.

It's a strict order from my amma that I should not spoil kids with unhealthy junkfoods and chocolates. So I found a alternative that is peanut chocolates, tender coconut and fresh juices.

Also because of them, I even tried many homemade snacks with the help of YouTube. Thankfully it didn't become a disaster but edible and tasty enough for the kids😁.

I went to my room and refreshed myself shooing away the exhaustion and dirt from me. Within minutes, Ram machan and anna also came from his office.

Yes as I said before, pooja akka and ram machan are staying here in Anna's room as anni is staying in her home. Anna is here only using my room but sleeping with amma and appa in hall.

Dinner time came! I went to have my dinner where everyone is already seated. Pratap and sanju is sleeping now as they both already had their dinner.

I sat between ammu akka and anna. We started eating our dinner. Unusually, the dinner is uncomfortably silent. Everyone is exchanging glances secretly thinking that I'm unaware of it.

Anything bad happened? I asked casually eating my dinner. They looked at each other.

No! Why are you asking like that? Ram machan answered.

Then why are you all silent and exchanging secret glances with a worried face? I asked. They all gave a caught look which increased my suspicion more.

Appa cleared his throat getting attention from everyone. I don't know why I'm getting bad vibes from this.

Maya.. You're 23.. And As you already know, We're searching a groom for you. Actually the thing is.. We already selected a groom and they're coming to meet you tomorrow. Appa said with a sigh.

What??😳 It gave me a thousands of thunderstorm..

If this is a serial, I'm hell sure there will be a background bgm like theem thananaa thinanaa.. And the screen will freezes on my face with lightning and thundering behind me with a black and white screen... And the screen will show the line 'to be continued' at the bottom...

Maya!! Maya.. Are you listening? Amma asked waving hands in front of my face.

Stupid maya! Is it the time think about serials?

Hann.. Yes.. What you said? I think I misheard you pa.. I said praying every god that my ears mightn't work properly just before now.

No da.. You heard it right! The groom family is coming to meet you tomorrow so, come home from your work early. Or better get a permission for half day.

We're really sorry for telling you this now. But we also don't know about this as they called today afternoon and informed this. Appa said Apologetically.

I started laughing like crazy!😂😂 I know it's just their prank. How could that even possible? Without telling anything, they're suddenly coming tomorrow? Impossible right? They all looked at me with weird look. I composed myself.

Stop pranking me pa.. It doesn't suits you! I said while laughing. But the serious looks in their faces killed my laugh.

Stop your stupid laugh maya! We're talking serious. Are we looking like kidding in this serious issue? Amma said in annoyed tone.

What the heck!!!!!!

What?? But.. But.. You didn't even tell me about y'all already selected a groom for me! When did you chose him? And how? I asked with disbelief.

We're again sorry Maya. But everything is your Anna's decision. Appa said smiling at Anna. I looked at anna to explain what the blunder he created in my life with that annoying innocent face of his!!

Yes Maya. You know right we registered your name in matrimonial site. From there only, the groom's family get introduced for us and asked your hand for marriage a week ago. We thought to tell you after matching your astrologies. And yesterday night only we came to know that you both have 8 match.

We decided to tell you everything today but they just said that they're coming to meet you tomorrow and I can't deny them so we accepted. Don't worry d little devil, we'll never go against your decision. But the guy is really seems good and he's perfect for you, we guess.

Even I had a talk with him in person yesterday. You know right, your anna never get convinced with others especially strangers but see I also agreed after researching about him for almost a week. He's really a perfect match for you

Anna said happily. I looked at appa who nodded his head with a smile.

How much I wish to pluck my Anna's damn good-for-nothing head from his body!

Ap.. Appa.. That.. I.. I'm not still ready for marriage. It's.. It's just so soon for me, I guess. Please pa. I don't want to see whoever it is. I don't want to marry now. Give me just 6 more months please.. I pleaded appa.

We're not asking for you to marry him tomorrow itself Maya. And We can held marriage after 8 months also if that's how much the time you want.

Besides, we can't find a groom like him who is good in both looks and heart and also match with your astrology Everytime we search.

And you already know we're searching for a groom ryt? Then why didn't you refuse when we registered your name in matrimonial sites? Just be a good grown up girl and accept this. We'll never spoil your life.

Amma said in a end-of-discussion tone. I sighed. There'll be no use in arguing with them. Better I talk with Kanns or Kavin machan or more better if that dumbo Kathir attend my calls.

I went to my room and laid down on bed thinking about the havoc created in my life by my sweet brother.

Are you free Maya? Ammu akka asked while sneaking into my room.

No akka.. Not know..

I mentally thought but anyhow I nodded my head at her.

What are you doing? Dreaming about your groom? She asked me with a teasing smirk.

Wow! You're so smart akka! In fact, I even went to a date with him in my dream.. I said sarcastically but seems like she didn't get the hint because her grin became wider.

Is it? Where did you go? She asked me wiggling her brows naughtily.

Queensland! We rode a roller coaster but you entered and spoiled the dream at the right time.. I said more sarcastic. But her grin again widened even more.

Is it so? She asked.

Yes! I was about to push him from the rollercoaster but you spoiled it!

Of course akka! I said.

Oh sorry dear! Then continue your dream! I'll talk with you later! She said standing up from the bed.

Akka Wait! I'm just kidding! Can we have a talk? I asked her thinking that I can get some information about my so-called groom-to-be. She nodded and sat with a curious face.

Uhmm.. Did you too know about this all? I asked with a pout.

Actually not fully but somewhat little.. I'm not cent percent sure till yesterday so only I didn't tell you. Sorry da.. She said in a apologetic tone.

It's okay ka.. Did you know who is he or his name? I asked eagerly.

His name is Velan, I think. He's working in some company. I don't know much above this. She said. I nodded.

Velan? You're going to see the Kaalan(Emadharma raja- the god of hell) If you didn't stop this marriage!

I mentally thought with a sigh. I should do something.

Did Kanns and Kavin machan know about this? I asked eagerly.

I guess yes! I think they know about all this yesterday only as Kavin went to Thirupoor for some of his client's house project for almost 3 weeks. He just came yesterday morning. And Kannamma also went to thirupathi for Diya's ear-piercing ceremony And came home 2 days ago. So they'll be coming here tomorrow! She said happily.

Oh.. That's all i could say now. I know if kanns and machan knew this, they might did something to stop this crap.

Do you have a pic or phne number of him? I mean that Velan.. I asked trying extract more information.

No da.. But I did see his pic in mughil anna mobile. He's really good looking and you together will look made for each other! If you want, I'll ask anna to show his pic what's say? She asked me curiously

It's ok ka.. Anyways, he's going to come tomorrow right? Then he'll know who am I! I said smirking evilly in my mind.

What you said? She asked.

I mean.. I'll know who is he tomorrow. Okay ka.. I'm sleepy. Good night! I said faking a yawn. She nodded with a grin and left.

I tried calling this podalanga again but all in vain! I called Kavin machan. He attended in the 5th ring.

Hello vaalu! He said with tired voice.

Hello machan! I.. I want to talk with you. Are you free? Is kanns with you? I asked him

Yes da.. Kannamma is with me. Wait I'll put the call in speaker. He said

Machan. Did you know about the news? I asked.

Yes! I know. He said.

What're you going to do about that? I asked eagerly thinking that he may already planned what to do next.

I'm going to take umbrella with me tomorrow. He said. I frowned.

What? Why? I asked confused.

Yes! They say in news that tomorrow going to be rain so I'm going to take umbrella with me. You only asked about news na.. He said innocently.

Now I understand how that dumb podalanga became friends with Kavin machan. He's also like him sometimes especially in serious situations! Loosu machan!

Machan! I'm not asking about that news! I'm asking about the freaking breaking news of my life which is reported and presented by your blockhead machan!!! I said annoyed to the core.

Ow.. You know? That.. Ilakya said about this all today only. Don't worry vaalu. I decided to talk with machan tomorrow. He said in a apologetic way.

They're coming to meet me tomorrow machan!! What could I do now?? I asked worriedly.

What??? Is it true?? But everything get finalized just yesterday right? He asked in disbelief.

Didn't you know this yesterday? I asked with a pout remembering ammu akka's words.

No! Yesterday, I and Kannamma went to Vaishu's marriage, remember your childhood neighbor? We came tired and late. So we didn't get time to talk with Ilakya! Today only she said this. He said with a sigh.

Oh.. I'm sorry machan. I didn't know. And did you talk with the stupid friend of yours in these two weeks? I asked irked.

No.. As you know, I went to Thirupoor and the work was hectic there. I didn't even talk with kannamma properly for these 3 weeks. Why? Didn't he talk with you?. He asked.

No! He's not picking up my calls and I didn't meet him for 2weeks. I don't know where the hell is he and what the heck is he doing! I said with anger bubbling inside.

Don't worry vaalu. I'll talk with Kathir and also with Machan and Mama tomorrow. They're just coming to meet you right? Then don't worry. Just go with flow. I'll see the rest. He assured me.

What is your wife doing? Why she is so silent? I asked.

Uff! This girl! She slept in middle I guess. She was so tired as she slept late yesterday coming from the wedding. I'll tell her to call you tomorrow. Okay? He said.

Okay! I'm sorry for disturbing your sleep machan. Good night! I said.

Nothing like that Vaalu! You're more important than my sleep. And don't stress anything. Good night dear! He said and hung up.

I slept with little relief after talking with machan. I woke up the next day and got ready to go office like nothing happened. I tried to just avoid talking about that in breakfast.

But that nonsense Ram machan remembered me to get permission for half a day since they're coming here at 3. I just nodded my head already bashing his head in the wall for about 20 times in my mind.

I went to office but my mind is too occupied to concentrate on my work. I tried calling him in interval but all in vain.

Now time is half past 1. I have to go home now. I decided to go to his office one time which is my last hope.

I asked in reception enquiring about him. They said he didn't come to office today. I asked them to call him from their landline. The receptionist called. He attended. She gave me the receiver.

Hello? He said. After 2 long weeks, I'm hearing his voice. It felt so good to hear.. 😌 how much I miss him..

Hello? He asked again because of my silence.

Hello? No! It's just Hell for you!! I said through my gritted teeth.

Kath.. Kathrika.. He gasped.

Where the hell are you? I said little loudly which gets some attention.

I.. I'm in home. Why are you calling me from office landline? What're you doing in my office? He asked.

Because you'll not pick up if I call you from my mobile! That's why! Just cut the crap and call my number now! I don't want others to enjoy free drama by listening to our quarrel! I said as calm as a could.

Okay! Saying this, he cut the call and my mobile started ringing. I attended immediately.

Now tell! Why the hell you're avoiding me for the past 2 weeks!? I asked.

I.. I'm sorry.. He said.

Sorry? Really? Is this the only word you could say after avoiding me for the damn weeks? I said with annoyance.

I'm engaged. He said crushing my heart into 1000 pieces.

What the!!!!! Are you kidding? Is this one of your stupid pranks? Then let me tell you I'm in no mood to listen your jokes!! I said through a gritted teeth.

No. I'm saying true. I'm engaged with my cousin. Everything happened so fast. My Aththa and mama died in a accident 2 weeks ago. I went to thiruvannamalai for that.

They asked me promise to marry their daughter as their last wish. I made promise without any choice. And they asked us to exchange rings in front of them while they were in their death beds.

I came here a week ago and I don't know how to face you and tell you about all this. Now she's with us here in Chennai. We're getting married next month. I'm sorry.

He said in the verge of crying. I was shocked would be an understatement.

Hello? Hello? He said but nothing heard to me. Lump formed in my throat making me to lose my voice. I put the mobile in my bag and came near my scooty like a corpse.

I felt so weak even to walk. I had no strength to ride my scooty now. It felt like someone is squeezing my heart mercilessly. Is this real?

I want someone to wake me up and say that this was a dream.. A very worst dream!

No! I can't be like this! I don't want to be like this! I want to go to his home and scream that no one can marry him other than me.. But.. But.. I'm feeling too exhausted to do that.

I went to nearby temple. Usually, I'm not a fan of going temples. But now I want to. I sat there closing my eyes to fight back the tears which threatened to flow.

My mobile started ringing, it shows 'Chella kutty💞'. I cut the call immediately.

Again My mobile rang, I took and saw the caller id. It shows 'Better half❤'. I attended it.

Hello akka. I said with no enthusiasm.

Hello d little devil. Where are you? She asked excitedly.

In temple. I said.

Temple? Am I dreaming? My sister went to temple? She asked.

Kanns. Please why did you call? I'm in no mood for your teasing! I asked.

Why d? Why are you talking like this? I called you to tell you to come home soon as I'm waiting here to see you. Don't worry! I and Kavin will talk with appa and anna about you and Kathir. They'll agree for sure. She said happily.

No need! Don't talk with anyone about this for now. I'll come home in few minutes. Till then, don't tell to them. Okay? I asked. She hung after saying a confused okay.

Again it rang, it's again him.. I cut it and switched off my mobile.

I went to my scooty and reached my home within 20 mins. I sighed taking my bag. My amma ushered me hastily. I rolled my eyes.

I went to my room where pooja akka, kanns, ram machan and kavin machan are chatting. I silently went to restroom to refresh myself.

I don't want them to see my crybaby face. I splashed the cold water on my face again and again wishing this will stop my tears. I took long breaths wishing that this will ease the pain in my heart. But no use..

I went outside, at that time, pooja akka and ram machan is nowhere to be found. Kavin machan and kannamma looked at me curiously.

Why you asked us to not talk with all vaalu? Machan asked.

It's not right time machan. I guess it's too late for that. Please don't ask me anything. I'll tell you after they come and left. I said in a tired voice.

What? Is this means you're going to agree for this marriage? Kanns asked in shock.

No!! No way in the hell I would do like that!! I'm just asking you to wait! I said.

I'll never agree for the compromising marriage and I don't want to drag a poor man into a loveless marriage! I'll never go against my heart! If my heart says me to not marry anyone, then I'll never! And my love is not a damn attraction to move on easily!!

Okay! If that's what you want! Kanns said with a sigh.

At that time, Ram machan came with Pratap in his arms along with Pooja akka.

Raksh! Take care of Prath and sanju till we make maya ready to see her groom-to-be. Okay? And Kavin.. You too Get out! Pooja akka ordered. Kavin machan rolled his eyes and smacked her head playfully. They both left.

Kannamma and pooja akka looked at me and pooja akka asked me to wear the saree which she give me. I sighed.

They both helped me to wear the saree and jewels. They farded me like literally a bride.

You both are doing too much! Its not like I'm going to impress him! Kanns.. Please didn't you too understand me? I asked with pleading eyes.

I know.. But it's just for others. Don't worry. Everything will be fine. I'm with you. She whispered in my ears while pooja akka busily searching for hairpins.

What are you saying maya? See that velan is going to be faint seeing you this much beautiful! Pooja akka chirped applying lipstick on my lips. I sighed.

Hey they're here!! Here ask her to come with this! Amma said handing tray of coffee tumblers to kanns.

Kanns handed me that with a helpless expression. I sighed and took that from her. I stared at my reflection one last time before going. Only words came to my mind is..

This is not me..

I went out of the room. There were kayal aththa, karthi mama, anni, anna and other than them, there were about 5 to 6 members but I can't able to see their face as my eyes gets blurred by the threatening tears.

Amma pushed me little to give them coffee. I went and gave them coffee one by one without daring to lift my face as my eyes filled with tears already.

That's the maapillai Maya! See him.. I heard my anna's voice. I don't want to see him and if I want also, I can't. I don't want to embarrass my parents by crying in front of them.

😈- Spill the coffee on him Maya!!

😇- No! Don't do that! He's innocent!

😈- Do you want to stop this or not? Embarrass him! It's for both of your good!

😇- No Don....

Okay!!!!

I smirked silently and spilled the hot coffee on his lap. He screamed in pain and I literally ran from there into my room not daring to see any of the faces.

I was laughing in my bed thinking about that poor groom to be😂. Suddenly I remembered about the reality. I sighed.😔

Maya!! What the hell you did? Did you pull this stunt to stop this marriage? Amma asked coming to my room angrily.

No ma.. I spilled as my hands trembled in nervousness. Sorry ma. Is he okay? I asked innocently and my sad mood helped me to make puppy face. She sighed.

They're asking for you. Come. She said dragging me out of my room.

Now I'm eager to see the groom's face. But where is he? He's no where to be found. Poor boy! Ran away already? I mentally chuckled.

We like you ma! We're okay for this marriage. What's your opinion sammanthi? A male voice make me came out of my thoughts.

Wait.. What he said???

TO BE CONTINUED!
