Tamizh and Indhra's plan had worked well at their homes. Their parents believed that they were having a crush on someone and waiting for their reply. So, they had kept  their bride/groom search on hold.

They both were happy that their parents didn't disturb them.

Indhra talks to Tamizh once in a while to have some random conversation. They both had become good friends in a short span of time.

Tamizh was having dinner along with his parents. He was looking at his phone and laughing at a meme .

"Who is that girl, Tamizh?" He hears his mother's voice and looked up.

"Which girl?" He asks her back.

"Your friend... Your crush." His mom clarifies.

"Why are you asking about her suddenly?" Tamizh asks shocked.

"You said you like her and she is your friend. We just want to know who is that girl. Was she your college mate or she works in your office?" His dad asks him back to back.

"Dad?? Why are you loading your questions? I told you earlier that I would definitely tell you if I am ready to marry her or not. Then why!" Tamizh asks helplessly.

"We understand that, Tamizh. But will you atleast show us her face? Even if she is your friend, we can meet her na... That's why we are asking you." His mom tells him calmly.

"We are not going to force you to marry her. We just want to meet her."

"I... I need to talk to her. . I don't know whether she would agree to this." Tamizh lies to them.

"You need not confess your feelings da. Just tell her that your parents are eager to meet your new friend." His dad says and walks away.

Tamizh was confused after hearing his parents talk. He did not know what to do. He decides to call Indhra, because she was also with him in this decision. Except her no one knew his drama.

Hi Indhra, I want to talk to you. Call me when you're free.

He sends the message and waits for her reply. Whereas she saw his message when she was with her parents. Once she went to her room, she calls him.

"Hello Tamizh, how are you?" She smiles and asks him.

"Hi Indhra. I was fine until today's morning." He sighs.

"What happened after that?" She asks with a chuckle.

"I just don't want to beat around the bush. My parents want to meet the girl itseems. I tried giving excuses, but this didn't work Indhra..." He informs her sadly.

"Oh... Yesterday even my dad was asking the same. He wants me to atleast reveal the name of the guy. I think he is suspicious that I may lie to him, just to postpone the wedding talks." She replies.

"What shall we do now, Indhra? Are you ready for marriage? If you are then just tell that to your parents..."

"What about you?"

"I am clear with my decision. No marriage until i get established in my career."

"Then what are you going to say to your parents?"

"I don't know." He says worried.

"Even I am not ready, Tamizh. I have told my parents that he is my friend. They want to meet him... They're telling me that if we get to know his family, we can be family friends even if we don't get married. I don't know how to escape." Indhra explains the situation.

"Okay... I have an idea." Tamizh tells her thoughtfully.

"What idea?" She asks him.

"Why don't we try introducing eachother as friends to our parents? We are good friends now.. and I hope this friendship would last even after we find our life partners. In this way, we can atleast escape from our parents right?" He tells and Indhra was shocked.

"Rather than introducing a random stranger as your friend, why can't we just introduce ourselves?" He says.

"That's a good idea, Tamizh... But will that work?" Indhra asks him.

"You say that your father is suspicious whether you're lying to him. If you introduce someone, he may atleast believe you right?" Tamizh explains her.

"True Tamizh. I'm okay with this idea." Indhra agrees thoughtfully.

"You don't mind meeting my parents right?" He asks her again.

"You're my friend, Tamizh! Why would I not meeting your parents?" She smiles.

"Okay Indhra. I'll inform my parents and let you know."

"If my dad asks about him, I'll tell about you. Bye Tamizh." She says and ends the call.

Tamizh feels relieved as he had found a solution for his problem. He decides to tell his parents about Indhra the next day and went to bed.

The next day they both decided to inform their parents. As their parents were super cool, and practical, they were ready to meet them.

Indhra informs Tamizh that her parents are also ready to meet him as her friend. Instead of meeting at their house, they plan to meet at a restaurant which would be easy for both.

Tamizh reaches the restaurant with his parents and texts Indhra.

Tamizh: Hey Indhra. We just reached here. Where are you?

Indhra: On the way Tamizh... Struck in traffic.

Tamizh: Ah okay. You don't have any problem in meeting my parents right?

Indhra: How many times do I have to say that to you :(

Tamizh: Sorry ...

Just then Tamizh notices the profile picture of Indhra, which she had changed recently. It was a picture of her with her parents.

Tamizh: Indhra, is that your father in the dp?

Indhra: Yes, he is my dad. Why?

Tamizh: OMG !!!

Indhra: What happened, Tamizh? Do you know my dad?

Tamizh: Yes Indhra. He was my HOD in my college. He knows me very well.

Indhra: Ayoo... But there are like hundreds of students studying under him every year. And it would be a couple of years since you passed out from your college.. so he might not remember you, Tamizh.

Tamizh: You don't know, Indhra. I met him very recently to inform him about my company. He knows me very well and I was his favourite student.

Indhra: What shall we do now??

Tamizh: Can we say some excuse and postpone our meet?

Indhra: Hey that would be like insulting your parents. I don't want to do that. Think this way, if my dad meets you and finds that I'm friend with someone he knows,he might beleive me na? Likewise your parents would also believe you....

Tamizh: Hmm.. you're right Indhra. But we have to be careful about something.

Indhra: What?

Tamizh: Our parents should not talk to eachother alone. We should try to be with them throughout the lunch.

Indhra: Okay! I'm entering the restaurant, we'll meet soon.

Indhra takes in a deep breath as she stepped down from the car. Her parents also got down from the car and walked towards the restaurant.

"Who's your friend, Indhra?" Her father asks her as his eyes roamed around the hall.

"Tamizh! He's there dad." She points towards Tamizh, and walks in that direction.

"Tamizh!!!" Indhra's father smiled happily as he spotted him. Indhra realised what he had meant earlier.

"Hi sir!" Tamizh greets his professor politely.

"I never thought you would be Indhra's mystery boy friend." Her father says and Indhra gives him a look.

"Sir.. I'll introduce my parents to you." Tamizh says and introduces his parents to them.

"You are Tamizh's role model, sir. He has said a lot about you." Tamizh's dad says.

"He is a gem of a student! I am really surprised how he is friends with Indhra." Her father jokes.

"Dad, this is too much! After meeting your student, you're not praising me huh?" Indhra tells possessively.

"He is just kidding you Indhra." Her mother supports her.

They all started having their lunch and spoke about them.

"How did you both meet, Tamizh? Do you both know eachother since college?" Tamizh's mother questions them. His eyes widened as he did not expect this question.

"No aunty, I met Tamizh at his workplace when I went there for an official work. That's how we met and we became friends.". Indhra quickly lies on seeing the expression on Tamizh's face.

"Oh okay! With the way Tamizh was not showing interest in getting married, i was really worried." His mother replies.

"We should not force them to get married. They are still young, let them decide what they want."Indhra's father tells everyone with a smile.

After having lunch both the familes were getting ready to leave the restaurant.

"I'm so happy to meet you and your family, Tamizh."

"Pleasures mine sir. " Tamizh replies.

"We are friends now, why formality between us? You called me sir inside the campus, now you are my daughter's friend. Call me uncle pa." He says and pats his shoulder.

"Okay uncle."

They smile and leave to their homes happily.

It was a good day, Indhra.

Tamizh messages Indhra once he reached home.

Yes Tamizh! Your parents are so cool. Dad was praising you all the way back home. He likes you very much and that makes me a little jealous =_=

Tamizh laughs on seeing her message and he replies immediately.

Hahaha I will tell this to uncle ;)
