* A few months later*
"Ay Malar yenga di irruka?", Radhika calls her daughter.
"Nan office la irruken. Yen ma ipdi kathure?", Malar asks annoyed.
"Unna ponnu paka vanthirukanga. Seekram va.", Radhika says before cutting the call.
"Yedhu? Ponna? Amma, Amma.", Malar sighs when the line goes dead.
"Nan dhan Ani ah date panren nu orruka theriyume. Ippo ivanga yen kolapuranga?", Malar mutters as she packs her bag to rush home.
Avan kitta sonna vere thittuvan, she groans, before deciding to go and see what's happening.
Malar rings her doorbell nervously, waiting for someone to open the door.
Sakthi opens the door grinning at her, making her confused.
"Dei anna yenna da nadakidhu, yaaru da vandhiruka?", Malar asks as she frowns hearing familiar voices.
She walks in further and stands there shocked to see Lakshmi, Ravi Raghavendra and of course Anirudh.
Un velaya idhu, Malar thought shaking her head at Anirudh.
"Aunty uncle yepdi irrukinga", Malar grins rushing to hug them.
"Nanga nalla irrukum di thangam. Nee yepdi irruke?", Lakshmi asks, while Ravi Raghavendra ruffles her hair affectionately.
"Nan superah irruken.", Malar replies.
"Dho ippo ready ayitu vandhuren", Malar says before giving Anirudh- who just sits there and blinks innocently- a glare.
"Indha di indha saree ah kattiko", Radhika says giving Malar a beautiful purple and silver saree.
Malar nods before walking into her room and immediately texting Anirudh.
Malar: Dei yenna panni vechiruke?
Ani: Na yenna panna?
Malar:Deiii
Ani: na oru vaiyasu paiyan, yen amma appa yenna kalyanam panniko nu torture panranga. Ponnunga photo lam katturanga. Adhan
Malar: yaaru un amma appa? Adhan na nambanum?
Ani: seekram dress mathitu va di
Malar: vandhu tholaiyuren
Malar walks out of her room, 15 minutes later all dressed up. She walks to the kitchen before carrying a cup of coffee and passing it to everyone.
As she serves Anirudh, he whispers, "Paka semaiya irruke baby."
Malar glares at him through her lashes, "Irru da thaniya sikku vela, appo vechikuren."
Anirudh gulps, making Malar smirk as she serves the coffee to his mom and dad.
After eating and a round of chit chats, Sarath Kumar pipes up, "Engaluku indha samandham ok."
"Engalakum dhan. Pasanga oda decision dhan ippo", Ravi Raghavendra says making the others nod.
"Yennaku konjam thaniya pesanum", Malar says giving Anirudh a sweet smile.
"Po da", Lakshmi says gesturing to her son.
"Amma yen ma enna ipdi kothu vidure", Anirudh says as he follows Malar to her room.
Anirudh walks into her room, as Malar reaches behind him to lock the door.
"Yenna di panna pore?", Anirudh asks as his eyes widen.
Malar lifts her hands up, making Anirudh close his eyes out of fear. Malar bursts out laughing at his reaction making him glare at her, "Yen di ipdi bayamuruthira? Kalyanam ippo vena na sollu, Na appa amma ta pesuren. They are very understanding."
Malar smiles pulling Anirudh closer, "Na surprised nu dhan sonnen, kalyanam venam nu sonnen na?"
Anirudh's eyes widen, "Appo ok ah?"
"Ok nu yeppa sonnen?", Malar asks teasing him with a straight face.
"Appo no ah?", Anirudh asks his face falling.
"No nu sollave illaiye.", Malar says.
Anirudh finally realises she's playing with him and pouts, "Po di, na yevlo serious ah pesitu irruken, nee yen ipdi panre."
Malar turns Anirudh towards her before laughing, "Unna illama vera yaara da na kalyanam pannipen?"
Anirudh smiles like a little kid who got his candy, "Apo ok ah?"
"Ok, ok.Podhuma?", Malar asks.
Anirudh grins before hugging her tightly, "I love you. So so much."
"I know", Malar grins.
"Yedhu, not fair. Thirumba sollu.", Anirudh whines.
"Thirumba.", Malar says teasing him.
Anirudh glares at her, "Yennaku indha kalyanam venna na poi-"
Malar pulls him closer kissing him to shut him up. Anirudh responds immediately, pulling her closer by her waist.
"I love you too", Malar whispers to him in between the kiss making him smile. Malar gasps when his hands land on her bare waist, making Anirudh smirk in the kiss.
Malar pulls apart, slapping his hand that was on her waist, "Dei yen da."
"Nee ivlo sensitive nu yenakku theriyathe", Anirudh smirks.
"Podhum, yen badhil yenna nu purinjirukom. Po poi sollu.", Malar says shooing him out, as she hides her smile.
"Nejama ponuma? Ingaye irundhirulame?", Anirudh asks hugging her.
Malar smiles softly before kissing his cheek and pushing him gently to the door, "Poi sollu da."
"Pota?", Anirudh asks looking back.
Malar laughs shaking her head, " Ayoo po da."
Anirudh laughs before going out. Malar adjusts her saree before following him out.
The parents notice the identical smile on their faces, before turning away.
"Seri appo engagement yeppa vechikalam?", Lakshmi asks.
"Arjun and Ayira oda onna kalyanam panni vechiralama?", Radhika suggests.
"Ay ay ay, naanga yedhume sollale, adhukula ivlo plan ah?", Anirudh asks.
"Adhane", Malar says.
Radhika facepalms, "Unga rendu peru oda moonji patha le therithu, neenga okay dhan sollivinga nu."
Malar blushes in embarrassment, while Anirudh smiles sheepishly.
