Arjun : Hey chi vaaya moodu!

Ashok was getting angrier with each passing minute. However, he was always used to have his henchmen ready by his side, and felt somehow helpless without them. Arjun neared Ashok and both looked straight into each other's eyes.
Arjun : Unnodu kannula bayam appdiye theriyarthu Ashok. Nee ellam naalu adi aal iruntha than veeran, Naa arambathula irunthey thaniya poradinavan. Ennala ore aala unna eppovo mudika mudiyum, aana Naa oru uyira kaapathara doctor, un alavukku keel thanama poi oru uyir ah edukka matten.
Ashok : Hey hey hey Arjunnnn
Arjun (wearing his coolers) : Unnala ippdi katha mattom than mudiyum Ashok, vera onnum panna mudiyathu. Neeyum ennanamo try pannita. First, ennode blood bank la irunthu blood ah thirudina, ennode hospital pera kedukanum nu..atha mudiyala nu odane, enna kadhaiyave mudichirlam nu plan panni, function la aal set panna. Aana onnu Ashok, nee panrathellam unakku theriyama ennaku nallathu seiyarthu theriyuma. Blood bank incident naala sila dhrogigal ah pudika mudinjithu, security ah innum strength panna mudinjithu. Aana ithellam saadharna vishyam than. Nee panna kola muyarchi than da, ennode Life ah ye maathirchu 😌
Ashok looked confused
Ashok: Nee ...nee...nee Enna solra?
Arjun: Ama da chellam. Nee appdi panna poi than ennode Roja Enna kaapatha poi, athula ava uyiraye panayam vechu, ava en mela vechirkara paasam Enakku purinju, Enakku oru nalla life partner kedachirka. Kalyanam eh vendam nu iruntha Enakku ivlo super aana oru Life partner Ah thedi kuduthu irukkiye. Athukku laam Naa unakku thanks than da sollanum.
Arjun said laughing and Patting a fuming Ashok's cheek.
Then he neared Ashok and lowered his voice-
"Aana innoru thadava nee ippdi panna nu vei, Ippo konjam neram munnadi Sonnene, atha senju kaatirven. Unna mudichitu medical error nu kaatitu poite iruppen. Ithuthan unakku last warning. Nee dhairyamanavan ah iruntha, aambalaiya iruntha, nerukku nera modhu. Mudhugu ku pinnadi kuthatha"
Having said so, Arjun walked towards the front door. However before leaving, he turned back once again, went near Ashok and laughed
"Koodiya seekirame ennode marriage invitation unna vanthu serum. Nee, un adi aalunga ellarum marakkama vanthu vaazhthitu saptutu than poganum."
Winking Arjun walked straight out of the front door boldly, wearing his coolers.
(A/N - imagine any mass bgm you feel like😉)
Watching Arjun leave, Ashok banged his hand angrily with full force on the table
"Damn it!"
He shouted furiously
"Dei Arjunnn!
Naa unnode chapter ah ye close pannanum nu onnu panna, athula irunthe nee Life ode innoru chapter ah start panriya!!
Varen da, nee sonna mathriye unnode marriage ku Naa varuven. Oru marakka mudiyatha wedding gift ode Naa kandippa varuven Arjun"
Ashok knew what exactly he needed to do. He laughed evilly

That night at Arjun's house.
Arjun was sitting in his room, looking wistfully out of the window at the full moon and the stars
Just then Ashwin and Deepa entered the room. Arjun didn't notice them.
They tiptoed silently, went behind Arjun, and shouted "Baaa" in chorus
Startled Arjun got up and turned back.
"Ungalaaaaa..."
Arjun ran behind chasing them, while they ran through the room, trying to dodge Arjun. Finally he caught both of them by their ears
"Aaahhh...Anna valikithu na. Vidunga na"
The trio then sat on the bed.
Deepa: Naanga vanthatha kooda gavanikama sir appdi enna yosichitu irunthinga😉
Ashwin : Enna Deepa nee, Anna va ippdi law point la madakalama. Avar Innime bachelor illa, koodiya seekirame family man. Appram Enna kanavellam duet than. 😉
Enna na, Naa solrathu sari thane???
Arjun : Unakku vaai la over kolupu Ashwin😏
Ashwin : Enna panna na, Namma profession eh athuthane😌
Athellam vidunga na, naanga eppo anniya paakarthu? Neenga Vera, Naa oru case kaga Coimbatore poitu varathukulla ennanamo nadanthu pochu. Deepa vaavthu anni ya nerla paathurka. Naa nerla paathadhe illa avangala
Deepa : Ama na, ennode anni Avanga than nu mudivu aana appram naanum avangala paakavey illa. Paathu eppdi patta danger kooda vaazha poranga nu warning laam kuduka vendama😜
Arjun : Enna vechu nalla otreenga da rendu perum 😒
Ashwin and Deepa : Chumma fun ku na. Otrathu thane younger siblings ode velaiye
Sari sari...anni ah paaka kootitu ponga na...pleeeechhhh.....
Arjun : Periyavangala paathu oru nalla naal kuripanga. Anniki Namma ellarume ponnu paaka povom. Anniki ungalode varungaala anni ah paathukonga 😉
Ashwin and Deepa : Ponga naaa😏😏😏
Seeing their disappointed faces, ARJUN knew thé therapy. 😌He kissed both on their cheek. And the therapy instantly worked out. Both instantly brightened up and the three of them cuddled up together for a bear hug🤗

The next day in Prathap-Kalpana's room,
Prathap and Kalpana were fixing a good auspicious day to go to Anbalayam and ask for Roja's hand in marriage to Arjun.
Kalpana: Yenga, naanga Intha mudiva edutha appo Neenga illa, ungala kekkamaye naanum athai um roja kitta Nee than enga veetu marumaga nu sollitom, ungaluku ithula onnum varutham illaye.
Prathap : Arjun ku pudichirka Roja va?
Kalpana: Ama nga
Prathap : Roja ku pudichirka Arjun ah?
Kalpana: Ama nga, ava than first propose panni irukka. Arjun avanode kadantha kaala vazhkai naala accept pannala. Aana ava avanukaga uyira kuduka pona naala, Antha anba purinjikittu Arjun yethukittan
Prathap : Avlo than kalpana venum. Avanga rendu perukum oruthar oruthar pudichirku la. Athu than mukkiyam. 30-40 years ah sernthu vaazha porthu Avanga than. Manasu othu pona pothum. Roja vum eh nalla ponna than Naa paatha varaikum. Athuvum illama Arjun avana Life la ethukkum aasa pattadhu illa. Ippo Roja va choose pannirkan. Avanga kalyanatha panni vekkarthu Namma kadamai..
Unakku astrology theriyum la, neeye oru nalla naala ah paathu sollu. Anbalayam ashramathuku poi Shanthamoorthy aiyaa kitta pesiduvom
Kalpana was happy to hear Prathap speaking thus. She quickly did some planetary calculations and fixed a day
Kalpana: Vara Friday, 22nd nalla naala irukku nga. Neranja veli kalamai. Anniki ashramathuku poi pesiduvom nga
Prathap: Super kalpana, Naa first itha amma kitta poi sollitu varen. Arjun, Ashwin, Deepa laam veetula illa, night veetuku vantha appram sollidalam..
Thus it was fixed that they'd go and talk to Roja's family on Friday.
That night, paati broke the news to the entire fam.
Paati : Intha paarunga, kudumbathula Ellarum ponum. Athunala nee university la Friday leave sollidu Deepa. Ashwin, neeyum court ku laam poga koodathu
Naa ithellam mukkiyam ah unakku than solren Arjun. Mukkiyamana person eh nee than. Nee paatuku annikum patient, hospital nu odiratha. Avanga ok sollita, Friday vey nichyam pannidalam.
Deepa : Enna paati, nichyadhartham nu ivlo sappaiya sollitinga. Ithu Arjun anna ode kalyanam paati..
Namma veetula Romba varushathuku nadakara nalla vishyam paati
Ashwin : Athane, Anna kum anni kum engagement ring ceremony nu oor ariya engagement panna vendama
Prathap : Periya manushanga mathri pesuringa da rendu perum
Yashoda: Avanga solrathum right thane Anna. Othukitta oru mandabam eduthu Namma traditional style layum nichyam pannidalam thatta maathi, appram modern style layum ring ceremony ah vechu engagement ah mudichikalam
Everyone was surprised to see Yashoda taking interest. She usually kept to herself and seldom interfered in anything. The entire fam was worried about her agreeing to the marriage, as she had lots of prestige issues. But to their pleasant surprise, she immediately agreed. And now she was taking active part in the discussion. They were really happy about the change in Yashoda
Everyone found Yashoda's suggestion worthwhile. They agreed to do it as per her suggestion.
————————————————————
It was FRIDAY already!
Early in the morning, Arjun's house was bustling with preparation. Everyone had worn nice clothes and were ready.
Paati, Kalpana, Prathap, Sumathi Aunty, Yashoda, Balu, Malar, Kaushik, Deepa, Ashwin all were ready. Even Deepa, who took a long time to dress up even for going to the university
Ashwin : Ivlo periya battalion ah thideernu paatha Avanga bayanthu odira poranga. He chuckled.
Paati : Dei dei, neeye ivlo yosikarapo Naa yosikka matten ah.
Already SM aiyaa kitta naanga ellarume oru mukkiyamana vishyathukaga ashramathuku Inniki varom nu solliten da
Deepa : Ellathayum sollitingla
Paati : Illa Deepa kutty, oru mukkiyamana vishyam nu than sollirken...
Deepa : 😮💨😮💨happada
Just then Sumathi Amma noticed Arjun's absence
Sumathi Anma : Inniki mukkiyamana aale Namma Arjun thambi than. Avar enga innum kannom
Prathap : Ada Ama, Arjun Enga
Kalpana : Naa ezhuntha time la irunthe avana paakalaye
Prathap: Appdiya..Naa room ku poi paathutu varen
Prathap went upstairs. Kalpana, Ashwin and Deepa followed him. Paati, Yashoda, Balu and Sumathi Amma stayed down
Arjun's room was shut
Prathap knocked at the door several times, calling out Arjun's name, but there was no answer.
Finally he twisted the handle and found that the door wasn't locked. It opened, and the four of them walked in.
Arjun wasn't there! Deepa went and checked the washroom. Arjun wasn't there too.
They started worrying when they found a letter, sticking under the bedside lamp....
To be continued.
