********************************
@ priya's house

Everyone are having dinner when swapna drops a bomb on priya....
Swapna - priya.... I need to tell u something....
Priya - yes amma tell me.....
Priya sees Anand's face which is slightly pale,  she understood that her mother and brother had conspired against her and her father couldn't save her from that.....
Swapna - u can go back to Hyderabad tomorrow but on one condition....
Priya(suspicious) - and what is it ??
Swapna - u can go back only if u agree to marry.... And tomorrow someone is coming to see u.... After that u can leave to Hyderabad.....
Priya - but amma.... I asked a year more time na....
Swapna - but we didn't give u.... U r already 25....see ur vadina(sister-in-law)  got married at 23, compared to her parents,  we gave u enough time.... In fact much more time.... It's really rare in our families to stay unmarried after 24.....but not to disrespect ur father,  I was silent till now...... Not anymore.... Moreover even ur nanna(papa/dad) feels that u should get married now.....
Anand(looking at priya and asked softly) - ur amma is right papai(child/beta), even I feel that u should get married now.... See u wanted to complete ur MBA and pursue ur career in that... And u r doing it... Now what's the problem....
Priya - there is no problem nanna.... It's just that I feel I'm not ready for this....
Vivek - trust me u r more than ready,  in fact the guy should be ready physically and mentally to bear ur torture not u....
Priya - u just shut up.... And eat ur food.....
Tejaswi - exactly vivek..... Just eat ur food....attayagaru(mother-in-law)  and mavayyagaru (father-in-law)  are talking na.....
Swapna didn't like the way priya and tejasvi talked to vivek but ignored it.....
Swapna - see priya.... We r not forcing u...  What's the problem in meeting the guy... U may like him.... I heard the boy is well cultured,  he does sandhya vandanam daily even in his busy schedule.... How good it is, how many of them are like this these days.......
Priya - amma.... Yes I do like men who follow culture but I can't marry a guy just because he does sandhya vandanam daily......
Anand (smiles) - we r not asking u to marry him papai.... Just meet him okay....
Priya - but nanna....
Swapna (irritated) - only if u meet him,  u r going back to Hyderabad otherwise u will stay here.... Now decision is urs.... Tell me soon... We have to call them and invite them to our home....
Anand(softly) - swapna.... I think we should give her sometime to think.... Y don't we ask them to come next week??
Swapna - no way..... I'm not coming in ur words anymore...... Priya... I'm waiting for ur answer.....
Priya sees her father, he nods in a yes...
Priya(sighs) - okay amma.... I'll meet him.....
Swapna(smiles) - good..... Tejaswi.....after u r done with ur dinner, come to kitchen,  we have some work to do.... Priya u too.... 
Tejaswi - y priya attaya(mother-in-law), I think we both can manage.... Priya gets only these days to relax.... Let her relax na....
Swapna - it's not about managing the work tejaswi..... She should know the work.... What happens after her marriage..... U and ur father-in-law has pampered her enough..... Now let her do according to me....
Priya sighs - ok amma.... I'll come.... Now please let me eat peacefully....
Vivek - ha.... Amma don't mention the boy's family about priya's job.... All her salary will go into her food.... So technically the amount she earns is zero.... So no point of mentioning her job....
Priya - it's u who eats tons of food not me.... Just day before yesterday only nanna brought a rice bag... And it's empty now......
Vivek(smirks) - yeah.... U r right.... Because u came day before yesterday na... That's y it's empty now... Otherwise rice bag comes the whole month.....
Priya(crying face) - nanna..... See....
Anand - vivek stop teasing her and eat ur food.....
Vivek - okay....
Swapna - priya,  boy's name is Ananth,  he is working in Infosys as a team lead....
Earns pretty well.... Comes from a nice family.... I'll send u the picture to ur whatsApp....
Priya(Uninterested) - not needed amma... Anyways we'll see him tomorrow....
Vivek - yeah amma... Send her picture to them first....they might change their plan after seeing the picture....
Priya(mock laughs) - I wish that happens but I know I'm not scary like u.....
Swapna - shut up both of u.... Priya I'm sending u the pic.... See if u want to....
