Recap: After the reception Keerthy is missing.
*************
Nights which gave peace to every life failed to give peace to a many hearts this night. Too many expectations, happiness, warmth, peace everything shattered pushing the hearts into a burial pit of pain, sorrow, shame forever. Painful tears never stopped everyone’s eyes.
The same tears of pain and regret found its way from Keerthy’s eye as she sat leaning on the window of the car she was travelling. Will she be able to forgive herself for what she did ? What would happen now to her family? what would the best friends react after this disaster that she created? Will there be any day that she would be forgiven? What would be her life that she will be starting with a bed of so many painful hearts ? She could find no answers except for the tears that kept rolling.
A hand that touched her shoulders made her turn and wipe her tears. Ajay was sitting next to her.
Ajay: Keerthy please stop crying. Everything will be fine. don’t worry.
Keerthy: sorry Ajay. I m so sorry.
Ajay: Ippo sorry solli enna aaga pogudhu. Now nothing could be changed. ( What will happen for saying sorry now ?)
Keerthy: Ennala mudiyala Ajay.( I couldn’t Ajay ) I cannot forgive myself.
Ajay: Time alone heals the hurt. Will believe in that.
Keerthy: Because of me why do you need to suffer? Its all because of me. If I had the courage to tell my love to my parents early then nothing could have happened. Now I have killed everybody’s heart.
Ajay: Please Keerthy. Atleast I came to know the last moment. What if were married, will you be able to live a happy life with me? Atleast now you can live your life and slowly everything will be fine.
Keerthy: Why should you leave the wedding hall? Everyone will blame you too for the blunder I did.
Ajay: What if I stayed there. They would have blamed you alone which I cannot accept as I was the one to push you to go for life so I deserve as equal as you. I know the pain we gave them is nothing less than killing them but we have no choice at this moment. What if the choose a sudden bride for me to marry ? I cannot do that Keerthy. I need time.
Keerthy: What will you do now. Come with us. Vettri will be a good friend to you and you can stay with us. Please Ajay.
Ajay: No Keerthy that will not be fair and I have called my friend. I will go with him and mostly I will leave the country for some time.
Keerthy: Where will you go?
Ajay: Not yet decided. But very soon I will leave.
The car halted at the Chennai Central station and Vettri, the person whom Keerthy loved for years was waiting for her. Ajay greeted him and handed her safely to him not after getting the details of him and their next step of plans for ensuring Keerthy’s safety. Ajay gave Keerthy his credit card for her expenses and also cash in hand to take care of her. Vettri denied but Ajay made Keerthy accept it. Later Ajay left from there and met his friend who was waiting to pickup him.
A happy wedding with the loveliest families and friends and a joint family forever filled with only joy and dreams of his children playing with both the family everything came to an end in just 8 hours for Ajay. He set his life to a new path of solitude with the memories of his family.
The wedding hall was not less than a home of grief. Father and mother of both Keerthy and Ajay were broken and tears couldn’t stop as they cried their heart out. Malini was dumbstruck with a new info that Ajay was even missing and nobody had any information on both Keerthy and Ajay.
Lakshmikanthan: Raghav nee kooda Ajay enga poran pakkalaya? (Raghav, you too didn’t notice for Ajay is it ?)
Raghav just nodded his head horizontally. A couple of hours left for most of the relatives and friends to arrive for the wedding.
Devika: Konja nerathula ellarum varuvanga enna solluvom, ellarum nammala asingama pesuvanga. ( Everyone will be here soon and what we will say them ? Everyone bad mouth us )
Raghav held his mother’s hand to console her but had no words as he himself was a broken mess now. A few relative who were very close to the families gave them pain with words. Sujatha didn’t speak a word and was still in the shock of the incident. One of Raghav’s aunty came forward with a solution for both families.
Raghav’ Aunty: Inga paarunga ippadiye irundha endha solution illa. Pesama Malini ku kalyanam Pannunga. ( Listen there would be no solution just standing like this. Better get Malini married)
Lakshmikantha: Enna pesura ma nee ? ( What are you talking ?.)
Aunty: Naa correct ah than solren. Vara guest , relatives konjam kammiya pesuvanga. Atleast oru kalyanam nadandha mathiri irukkum.Oor vaai konja naalla adangidum neengalum konjam better ah feel pannuvinga illana rendu familyum kashta paduvinga adhanala dhan solren. ( I m speaking the right thing. Atleast the guest will talk a little less and atleast one wedding will happen. We can avoid a little of people’s tauntings and you too will feel better or both families will go through a lot)
Krishnan: Maapilla ku enga poradhu appadiye irundhalum? ( Where will go for groom even if want that to happen ?)
Aunty: Yen enga Raghav ku kalyanam panni kudunga. Avanga chinna vayasula irundhu onna dhane suthuranga. Kalyanam pannunga ella seri agidum. ( Why don’t you get her married to our Raghav ? they both are running together from their childhood. Get them married and everything will be get better )
Suddenly the elders felt a ray of hope and their eyes widened and looked at each other while Malini and Raghav stood froze at the idea given by the aunty. They still hoped that their parents won’t be ready for a such a huge step but Krishnan and Lakshmikanthan felt different.
Lakshmikanthan: Krishna, enakku ennavo seri dhan thonudhu. Unakku seri na indha marriage nadathalam illana onnum prechana illa paathukalam. (Krishna, I feel it is right. If you are ok with this then we shall do this marriage else no problem we will handle everything )
Krishnana: Illa Enakku sammadhan dhan. ( No, I m ok with this )
For the first time Sujatha spoke holding hands of Malini.
Sujatha: Malini idhu vara naa yaar kittayum yedhuvum kettadhu illa. Unga appa yaar kittayum avamana pattu naa paathadhu illa unkitta kenji kekkura engalukkaga Raghav ah kalyanam pannikuriya. Avan unna kandippa nalla paathuppan enakku nambikka irukku. Please.
( Malini, I haven’t asked you anything so far. I haven’t seen your father facing any disrespect . I plead you please marry Raghav for us. He will take care of you and I believe him. Please )
Sujatha’s tears fell on Malini’s hand which were in her mother’s hold now. Malini could not see her parents and Raghav’s parents in such a pain. Her heart pained as she saw Vineet standing among the little crowd looking at her.
Lakshmikandhan took Raghav’s hand and asked for his consent for marriage and Raghav loked at Malini who was now looking at him. Their eyes was enough to speak the feel they had at the moment which was nothing than to do anything for their family. They both nodded at each other at the same time and said “Kalyanam pannikuren” at the same time.
The immediate smile which appeared beyond the pain was a hope for everyone now.
Lakshmikanthan: Seri appo ellarum ponga marriage ku ready pannunga. (ok then everyone go back to the wedding preparations)
Krishnan: Raghav malini neenga konja neram pesitu poi ready agunga. ( Raghav, Malini you both talk for sometime and then get back to get ready )
Malini and Raghav nodded at them. Every body moved from them leaving them. Krishnan and Lakshmikanthan stopped a while and turned to their children and mouthed a thanks and left from there. As everybody left Malini hugged Raghav and cried hardly.
Raghav: Malini azhadha please di. Inga paaru konja naal apram ellam seri ayidum. ( Malini, don’t cry please. Look at me, a few days and then everything will be fine)
He pulled back from the hug and wiped her tears.
Raghav: Naa irukken la. Believe me. ( I m here for you. Believe me )
Malini: Vineet kitta sollanum. ( We need to inform Vineet)
Raghav: Ippo nee pesuna ellarum thappa nenaipanga. Nee Vineet ku message panni terrace ku vara sollu naa poi pesuren. Seekiram ellathaiyum seri pannidalam. first marriage nadakattum apram enna pannalum nu yosikalam. seriya.
( If you talk to him then everyone might take it a wrong way. You message Vineet to reach terrace and I will talk to him. We will fix everything soon. first let the marriage happen and then we will think about what to do next. okay ?)
Malini: hmm.
Malini messaged Vineet to come to terrace to speak for which he replied that he was already in terrace. Malini informed Raghav that Vineet is already in terrace.
Raghav: Seri nee room ku po naa poi pesuren. ( ok then you go back to room and I will go speak to him)
Vineet was standing at the terrace with his friend smoking.
Friend: Enna da akka ku kalyanam nu paatha ippo ivalukkey kalyanam aga pogudhu. enna panna pora. ( What is this man ? We came here for her sister’s marriage but she is getting married. What are you going to do ?)
Vineet : Poi tholayatum vidu.eppadiyum kalati vidra case dhane ( Let her get lost. Anyhow I was planning on dumping her )
Friend: Appo unnoda bet enna pannuva? ( What about your bet then ?)
Vineet: Dei first avala pick up panna sappa matter ippo kalyanathukku apram panna eppadi irukkum? Ippo eppadiyum enna convince panna dhan varuva paaru.
(If I had courted her first then it would have been a casual thing but if I do that after her marriage how would it be ? Anyhow she will be here to convince me )
Friend: enakku ennavo thonala. college la avlo peru porpose pannanga ellathaiyum rules pottu reject panna. Nee dhan periya ivan mathiri ava rules meeri avala correct panra nu bet kattuna. Ippo vara onnum velaikku agala. Pesama vitutu poda. unnoda ponnunga list la iva vara mathiri theriyala.
( I don’t think so. She rejected everyone who proposed her with her rules but you made a bet to court her and nothing happened so far. Better let her go and I don’t think she get in your list of girls)
Vineet: Pakkatha thane pora. seri nee poi ava varala paaru time agudhu oru performanace pannitu kelambalam ( You will watch it man. fine now you better leave and see if she is coming and we will do a performance and leave this place)
His friend turned to leave but jerked and stumbled to see Raghav standing with his fist tightened and blood shot eyes. He nudged Vineet to look back. Raghav took long strides and held Vineet’s collar gritting his teeth and gives a punch on vineet’s face.
Raghav: Bloody idiot how dare you ? Avala cheat panna eppadi da manasu vandhuchu unakku porikki rascal. ( How could you have the heart to cheat on her you scumbag ?)
Vineet: Hey summa sound vidadha ava enna romba yokiyama. Madam rules poduvanga but unkooda oor suthuva, katti pudippa, rendu perum ooti viduvinga ketta friend solla vendiyadhu. Yara da yemathuringa.
(Hey stop screaming. Is she so is pure and genuine. Madam will enforce so many rules but she will roam around with you, hug you, you both will feed each other but you claim that you both are friends. Who are you cheating with ?)
Raghav: Ava ennoda Malini ava mela oru thurumbu patta kooda unna konnuduven da. ( She is my Malini and I will kill you even if you drop a of dust on her )
Vineet: Nee yaruda avalukku. Nee enna avala love panriya? poda edatha gaali pannu. ( Who are you to her ? Are you in love with her ? go away from this place)
Raghav gave a tight slap on his face and held his collars again.
Raghav: Onna oor suthuna love na aama da naa avala love panren, kattipudicha love na yes na avala love panren, ooti vittukitta love na yes I love her idiot. ellathukkum mela avalukkuga yen uyiraye kudupen da Ava ennoda Malini.
(If going around places together is love then yes I love her, if hugging is love then yes I love her, if feeding each other is love then yes I love her idiot. Above everything i will give my life for her , she is my Malini)
Vineet: appadiya appo enkitta irundhu avala eppadi save panren nu nanum pakkuren da. ( Is it ? then I will see how you will save her from me )
Raghav left his collars and back from him and looked at him.
Raghav: Summave avalukku onnu na vida matten ippo innum konja nerathula ava ennoda pondati aga pora sollava venum. Dey Malini friend ah dhane enna ivlo patha ippo ava purushana pakka pora. Konja energy save panniko. Varen kalyanathukku no poi ready aganum la. Unkitta time waste panna mudiyadhu. Varenda fraud.
( I will go crazy when it comes to her and now she will be my wife in sometime so do you want me to tell what I will do then ? Hey you have seen me as only Malini’s friend so far but now you see me as her husband. Save some energy. I will leave now. I need to get ready for the marriage. I can’t waste time now. Bye mr. fraud)
Raghav gave a sarcastic smile and left from there.
