Saakshi- "atleast pullaikavathu bayapadu mama..", she whined.

Vihaan chuckled and said, "sari ma.. naan wait panren.. time aachu, bye ma.."

Saakshi- "bye mama"

The whole family went to shop for Marriage purchase. First Anbu went and selected for Saakshi. He put the saree on her and started his selection at first.. Then he made her wear a little to select. After an hour he selected sarees. Then Saakshi did a video call to Vihaan. Vihaan started to select from the chosen sarees. Vihaan made her to wear each saree and selected 3 saree in that. 

They returned home after that. Velu arranged for lunch to the village members each day for this marriage. Saakshi placed the MSC application form in Velu's table and hided behind the door with Anbu. On witnessing the application, Velu looked around. Anbu came before him. 

Anbu- "Appa, Mapla kita pesiten. avan kalyanathuku apuramum padikatum nu solitaan. neenga sign paneengana.."

Velu- "Saakshi..", She came inside and hide behind Anbu.

Anbu- "Padikuriah ma?", she nodded her head looking down.

Velu smiled and signed it. Saakshi hugged her brother in happiness and ran away to share the news to Vihaan. Vihaan is the one who gave this idea, when she decided to study as per her Fathers wish. Vihaan finally arrived on the engagement day. Saakshi was eagerly waiting for him. 

In the evening, Engagement function started. The bride family came to the marriage hall at first. The groom family came with a musical play. The bride family welcomed the groom family. Anbu hugged Vihaan. Saakshi watched all this from the window of her room. 

They all entered the marriage hall. Within an hour, the bride was called and made to sat near her father. Saakshi looked at Vihaan through corner of her eyes. Vihaan winked at her. She blushed and looked down. 

The groom and bride were said to exchange rings. Vihaan slightly pinched her palm and tickled it, while placing ring on her finger. When she looked at him shocked, He whispered 'thirudi'. She blushed and placed ring on his finger.
