Chapter 2: 2. Wedding?


    D''s PoV


    Yeah! I''m getting ready for a wedding. Except it’s not my wedding. It''s even worse. I''m getting ready to


    showcase myself to the ''groom-to-be'' who ising to a wedding which is supposedly a distant (far


    distant) rtive''s. So, the parents on both sides thought of this amazing idea to go informal. We are


    going to meet at a wedding function and decide if we like each other. Huh! Who am I bluffing..? The


    groom wants to see me in-person and he has no time toe to Trichy. So, we are going to this very


    distant rtive''s wedding in Coimbatore to show myself!


    Eww! Sounds bad? Anyways! I have no say! Though I have nobody on my mind and ready to ept


    anyone whom my parents choose for me, I still feel a bit bad for myself. At least they could ask how I


    feel about all this. I know my parents will make no mistake in choosing my life partner. We are at my


    paternal Grandparents home. My mom is going all crazy. With what she has taken out for me to wear,


    the groom of this wedding will really get confused for the bride.


    "Mee, this wedding is not for me. You are going to confuse everyone in the wedding hall." Iughed at


    her.


    "Stop that ande let me drape this saree for you." she hushed me.


    "Mee I''m not going to wear this saree or these jewels. For god''s sake, please let me choose my outfit".


    "Put this saree on, Danya Hon. You will look gorgeous in it. Maybe we can reduce the jewels." WOW!


    That''s the best I can get from her. So, I thought it’s better to settle with this deal.


    "Ok! Done! Now you go and get ready. I will call you when I need your help." With that she left the


    room. I looked at the dark purple silk saree with silver jari(border) on it. It''s indeed beautiful. I started


    draping it and finished it in about 1hour. Hehe! I''m no good at saree draping. I took minimal jewels to go


    with the saree and left my long hair open with a little clip in the middle that held the side hair. Should I


    say I look beautiful?! Is that not self-appreciating??? But I do look amazing. It gives me a little


    confidence boost!


    We are now at the valet-parking of the wedding hall. Wow! The hall looks humongous! Deep breaths D!


    You can do this! You can do this! It''s 7.30am and the wedding time is 7.30 to 8.00 am. We are on time.


    We attend the wedding, give them gifts, pose for a picture, greet my groom to be''s family, disy


    myself to them, and DONE! I can do this!


    When we stepped into the hall that can hold 4000 people easily, I felt the tension in the air! Now-a-days


    people are so busy they don’t attend 3days wedding! So, our 3days wedding is now 2days wedding


    with a reception in the evening and followed by a wedding the next morning. And since reception times


    don''t bother working time, many people attend reception! Maybe that is why dad chose toe in the


    morning to show me! Just to avoid many people''s eyes!


    Anyways the hall is not fully popted. Maybe, first circle rtives are the only people in it. Of course,


    except for us! I could see people talking and murmuring! No music instruments ying! And the priest


    sitting in a chair in the front row! Looks like my dad knows the people in the hall so well. They all greet


    him! Myself and my mom sat at thest row while my dad went in the crowd and climbed up the stage.


    I can see there are some problems in the wedding. Looks like it has stopped! Poor girl! She must be


    feeling bad! It''s not fair to stop the wedding at this point! Or is someone ill? I don’t feel good about my


    groom-to-be now! I feel like it’s a bad omen! Hehe I know! I''m simply makingme excuses!


    My dad is all serious in talking! He talks with a man almost 6ft high and should be the same age as my


    dad! My dad is a little short and so am I! I''m 5.1! My sisters are of the same height as me now! They


    will outgrow me soon! Hmph! They areing to us now, my dad, that 6ft uncle and a guy just like that


    uncle! His son may be!


    "Perusappa (that’s how my dad calls me. meaning big girl)e with us" he said. My mom and I went


    along with them. I kinda like that guy. He should be the same age as me or smaller maybe. He has this


    friendly aura around him and smiled at me warmly. I smiled back at him. We entered a room saying


    "groom''s". So, I''m guessing they are groom side people for this wedding. And I literally don''t know on


    whose side are we attending this wedding! As we are talking with the groom''s side, I think the groom''s


    side is our far, far distant rtive! I know I''m sarcastic! I''m evil!


    "Perusappa, this is Rajashekar. My friend and our rtives. I didn''t know we wereing for his son''s


    wedding. Because I got the invitation from the bride''s side. Bride Smirthi is the daughter of Pnisamy,


    our rtive. Looks like in some circumstances the bride''s family left the wedding before the sun


    dawned! Now Rishi went out frustrated. It''s his wedding. He is the first son of Rajashekar. (pointing to


    the guy)He is Ravi, younger brother of Rishi. They have no mother. I know this is going to be shocking.


    But I wish you would marry Rishi. He is a nice man. I know him in his business. And beyond everything


    I know their family well. It will be for your best future. what say?"


    Whoa! Whaaat? My dad wants me to marry a guy whom I don’t know?(Hehe anyways I''m going to


    marry a man whom I don’t know). Cut the crap D. He wants me to marry a guy to whose wedding we


    havee to attend?


    They attended their reception yesterday eve! They probably loved each other! They might have done


    some dirty stuff together(I know I''m a little over reacting). Who knows how long they might have talked


    on the phone?They might at least have talked dirty stuff! (Am I a dirty minded girl?)


    This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    No, No, No, No! Not happening!


    I looked at my mom! She looks shocked as hell! That 6ft uncle and his son stand right in that room!


    What can we possibly talk about!? D it’s your life! Talk now or go to hell! My mind warned me. I call her


    ''Mindy''. She is sometimes a friend and many times a foe.


    "Dad, can we talk in private for a minute?" I asked dad. Wow! How brave of you?!!! Good job!


    "Sure kanna(an endearment)! Guna we will be right outside." said that uncle and they both left the


    room.


    I looked at my dad. He has this stern look on his face. I know we can''t beat him! I huffed! But my mom


    voiced out for me.


    "Ennanga(endearment for husband) it''s not fair. You are doing wrong to our kid. I can''t ept this. I


    heard this is a love marriage. That boy was in love with that girl. How can you do this to our kid? I know


    your friendship and your trust in this family is high. But this is our girl''s life. You cannot make a decision


    hastily!"


    My dad looked at her and said " Do you think I have not thought it through? I’m just proposing to her


    the option. Shekar will talk to his son. Perusappa and Rishi will talk in private and then we will decide


    on what to do."


    Whaat the hell?! He is in love with someone? I''m so not getting married to this guy. Atleast I get to talk


    to him in private before deciding on anything. Hopefully he won’t ept this marriage! If he does on


    odds like family reputation or prestige then I should say a strict no. I wonder if they had a silly


    fight.
