******************

Nithya arrived at the cafe on her way to home and ordered for a coffee for her. A few minutes later Pranav reached the cafe and sat opposite to her with a smile.

Pranav: Am I late Nithya ?

Nithya: Nope, I just arrived and ordered a coffee for me. How was your therapy last week ?

Pranav: Not so good nor there is any improvement. I feel like giving upon it.

Nithya: Ohh mister, why do you give up so easily ? Hardly you give an hour for the session and I don't think you will lose millions in that one hour so why do you want to give up. Keep trying and sure you will be back on to yourself one day.

Pranav: I feel like I m alive when I am with you and wish we could meet often but my work doesn't let me go.

Nithya: By the way where do you work and are you paid good else I will recommend in my office. 

Pranava smiled at her and leaned back in his chair placing the crutch by his side.

Pranav: Try to guess on what sort of job I may be in.

Nithya: may be some project manager because your attitude and communication skills are damn good but from the way you think so low of yourself and being scared to defend yourself then I m not sure if you are in that too.

Pranav: My bad I made such an impression. Actually it was a bad day when we met for the first time. I did something that my father didn't want me to do. I arrived at the beach to relax my mind and that day turned out to be the best day, I got to meet you.

Nithya: hmmm, by the way how did you get hurt ? 

Pranav looked away to the question and gritted his teeth.

Nithya: If you are not comfortable then I won't force you so let it go and tell me about your work but before that what do you want to have ?

He called the waiter and placed an order for coffee for him.

Pranav: I m a businessman Nithya but I really don't want to talk about business. You are the first person who has made me friend even before knowing about me so I want this continue but still if you want to know then I will tell you.

Nithya: No, don't mind it.

Pranav: But I will take you to my office one day and introduce to everyone especially my father. He will be very happy to meet you. By the way do you any plans for weekend ?

Nithya: Yes, saturday I m meeting my best friend. She has something important to discuss with me so I m not free and sunday is family day. My mother will kick me if I don't stay at home.Why do you ask ?

Pranav: I thought of taking you to lunch date. I have never been out with friends for lunch in the last 4 years so I thought we could go.

Nithya: Ohh don't worry and how about we go next week. I will mark my date free.

Pranav: So madam, I get your appointment next saturday ? 

Nithya: Ofcourse, you need get Nithya's appointment to meet her.

He laughed at her words and soon their coffee was served and Nithya left there, Pranav returned home and was smiling at himself looking at the  mirror. Hearing the sound of foot steps he saw Vasudevan entering his room.

Pranav: Dad, you here ?

Vasudevan: hmm, my son is happy recently and I could see him smile which is very rare to happen so tell me who is the girl ?

Pranav: Dad, she is very different from others. She is a good friend to me and I feel lively with her. She didn't judge me with my inability and she is a firecracker. Do you believe she gave me appointment next saturday for lunch date ?

Vasudevan: Hmm now I m eager meet her and are you sure she is just friend ?

Pranav: Dad, please. I don't want to rush anything with her that will make me lose her but sure I will get her to meet you. I have said the same to her too.

Vasudevan: I m happy Pranav to see the changes in you. And I m grateful to the girl who did this. What is her name ?

Pranav: Nithya..

Vasudevan: Get her to join our office and you can have her before your eyes all time.

Pranav: She is ready to recommend for me to join her office.

Vasudevan chuckled hearing it and patted his shoulder.

Vasudevan: She is different then. I will meet her soon.

Once Vasudevan left his room Pranav sat on the bed and closed his eyes reminiscing the moments with Nithya.

Raghini drove her car and parked on the beach road. She sighed and rubbed her forehead to relax her mind and then she dialed Pranav's number who was so happy after his meeting with nithya. After a few rings he answered the call with a hello.

Raghini: Hello Mr. Pranav, hope you are doing fine.

Pranav: I don't have time for all this crap. Who are you ?

Raghini: Even I don't have time to play games with you so I will be direct to point. I m Raghini whom you took advantage and raped.

Pranav Mv: This bitch ... why is she calling me and how did she get my number ?

Pranav: Ohh Ms. bitchy bitch.. are you still whoring in the pub or may be you called me because you are running short of money and trying to find some bed mate to fuck you.

Raghini: Shut up Mr. Pranav Vasudevan, I m not a whore nor I need to go beg for money. I called you to congratulate you so Mr. Pranav congrats you are going to be a father in few months. You knocked me up that night and I want to meet you to discuss about it.

Pranav: Congrats but I m not a fool to fall into words of some whore. Go check with everyone for whom you opened your legs.

Raghini: Don't you dare to call me whore when you yourself was doing it. I have never been anyone for a long time before and after you so its obvious you are the father. Very soon I will come by your home or office and we will discuss about this.

Pranav: As if I will keep my doors open for you. fuck off and don't you dare to call me again. I won't spare you.

He cut the call and threw the mobile on the floor in rage.

******************

Goutham and Mithra reached the garden after dinner and stood before the god ganesha. Their eyes sparkled in happiness as Goutham picked one of the invitation from the bundle and they returned to the couch and settled next to each other. Goutham passed the invitation to her and gestured to open. Mithra touched her forehead on the invitation and placed a gentle kiss before she opened it.

Goutham: " Goutham and Mithra " looks good to see our names on the invite. 

Mithra: Goutham, is this real ?

Goutham gave a bite on her cheek and she squeaked and pulled his hair in her fist.

Goutham: you wanted to know if this is real and I made it clear to you, not my fault...

Mithra: After the reception party everyone will know that you are mine and I m yours. I will be Goutham's wife... Mithra Goutham....Is it because this is our invitation I feel its too good or really we made a good choice in selecting the design ?

Goutham:  Usually people will fee that theirs are the best but in our case it is really the best one. My wife has chosen it so obviously it would be the best choice.

Mithra leaned on his chest and he wrapped his hand around her kissing her temple.

Goutham: Appa has messaged me that tomorrow we will visit your parents and invite them and visit Anu to finalize our costumes.

Mithra: I hope appa will have his mind changed. I want him at our special day. 

Goutham: He will twinkle...

The next day morning Raghuvaran was getting ready for his work when he heard the honk of a car. Before he could check on it Vinay came rushing from his room calling his mother.

Vinay: Maa, akka and mama vandhu irukanga. ( Maa, sister and brother in law is here)

Raghuvaran gave a stare and was about to enter his room but Kavitha stopped him.

Kavitha: Invitation kudukka vandhu irupanga. Pesalanalum paravala chumma ukkaarunga. Mithra life la oru nalladhu nadakudhu. Namma avalukku vaaguna jewels avalukku kudunga. (They must be here to invite us. Its ok if you don't speak atleast sit with us. something good is happening in Mithra's life. Give her the jewels we bought for her)

Ravichander, Goutham and Mithra entered the home and Kavitha welcomed them happily.

Ravi: I know, Mr. Raghu would leave to his work so we arrived early to meet him.

Kavitha: How are you all ?

They all gave a smile and Ravi gestured Rehman to place the gifts on the table and took a huge plate which had fruits, flowers, sweets and an invitation.

Ravi: Goutham and Mithra's reception is fixed and we are happy to invite you all. I request you to be present on the big day of our children. Let them live happily with our blessings.

Kavitha saw Raghuvaran not once looking at any of them so she came forward and accepted the invitation from Ravi. Immediately she opened it with Vinay looking from behind her.

Kavitha: Invitation romba nalla irukku. Enga Mithra oda kalyana reception.. ( Invitation is very good. Our Mithra's wedding reception)

She entered the pooja room and placed the invitation before the god and returned to them.

Ravi: We have got invitations to you so that you can invite relatives and friends from your side. You can invite as many as people you want and even if you need more invitation then please let us know. There are costumes for you all please accept as a token of respect from me.

Kavitha accepted it and Rehman placed the boxes of invitation on the table. Ravi cleared his throat to get Raghuvaran's attention.

Ravi: You can and have all rights to be angry with your daughter and my son but please don't let them down before others. If you think Mithra let you down by getting married without your knowledge then you will be doing the same if you are not present in their reception. Whatever wrong our children might do end of the day they are our children and we are elders and it would be good for us to forgive them. 

Kavitha smiled at his words and saw Raghuvaran entering their bedroom. Vinay passed coffee to them.

Goutham: Coffee is good Vinay.

Vinay: More than my sister's?

Goutham: Ofcourse not. She is best.

Raghuvaran returned with some bags and passed it to Kavitha and left his home for his work. Kavitha shook her head and gave those bags to Mithra and Goutham.

Kavitha: Don't feel bad about him. He will take time but he will come around one day. These are jewels we got for Mithra's marriage. We want you to accept it please. Mithra's father will feel bad if you don't accept it.

Mithra and Goutham smiled and accepted it happily. They took leave and once they were out Ravi stopped Goutham and Rehman.

Ravi: Make sure the invites are sent to all the business men in our association too. 

Rehman: Should we invite the association president too ?

Ravi: Leave that old man he must be busy that day. 

Once Ravi's car drove off Mithra pulled Goutham's sleeves.

Mithra: Do you think it would be fair if we don't invite the president ? May be you should talk to Ravi appa and invite the president.

Rehman: Boss madam, your great father in law is the president of the association.

Mithra gasped and Goutham chuckled at her reaction and then opened the door for her to settle in the passenger seat. Once the door was closed he faced Rehman.

Goutham: Send an invite to Pranav and his father Vasudevan but just before the day of reception.

Rehman was shocked but regained from it and showed his thumb with a smile knowing Goutham would never do anything without plans.
