Sanjana woke up to find Varun sleeping holding her hands near his chest . She smiled and removed herself slowly from his hold .

She soon went into the washroom and finished her bath . She went to Aditi's room, since she needed her help for tieing the saree.

When she went inside the room Amritha and Aditi were all getting ready. She came there with the saree in her hand.

Amritha : Vandhutanga ore tired pola ?

Sanjana : Enna d samandhame illama kekura . She said keeping the dress on the table.

Aditi : Hey netu Madam madynam nalla thungitanga. Adhe mari night um seekram thungitanga . Ana Sanju ku dhan madyanam thungna thukam night varadhe , apram eppudi netu night seekram thungita? She asked  with a tease

Sanjana : Edhuvum teliva pesura pallakam illaya ?

Amritha : Akka nee cute ka . She said pinching her cheeks

Sanjana : Edhuku ippa nee konjura ! Hey ennaku puriyala. Enna vandhadhula irundhu oru mari pakuringa , pechun seri illa.

Amritha then showed her the Instagram post making Sanjana's face turn in embarrassment

Aditi : Ivalvu neram pesunala ippa pesu . She teased.

Amritha : Pangu nee enga kita matikuta . Netu night nanga ellam onna dhan indha post ah pathom . Nee dhan thungita illa unnaya appa ve vachu senjurupom Sanju ka.

Aditi : Seri marudhani kazhanjalum paravala . Kai ah kami dark ah iruka nu pakkalam.

Aditi took Sanjana's hands and the colour was indeed dark indicating Varun's love on her is more than what she expected.

The girls continued teasing Sanjana when they were getting her ready . The saree she wore was that of kanjivaram silk . The saree looked typically traditional with dark pink and gold gopuram border. The body had mangoes  which were worked on it making her look grandeur and elegant.

Aditi : Confirm innaiku ivunga rendu perum veliya varuvanhala ne ennaku doubt.  She said looking at how pretty Sanjana was

Amritha : Netu marudhani ah azhinjuruchu ivunga panna setai la ! Innaiku ennalam agum nu teriala. She said with a tease

All those two got was smack from the Sanjana.

*******

Varun got ready in dark blue shirt and white veshti and he reached the hall . He saw the boys helping in the arrangement , while his eyes searched for the two eyes he was wanting to see from the time he woke up.

The boys were giving him a tease look for the Instagram post while all he could do was bear those teasings since he was the one who did it without thinking of this circus cousins.

He stopped doing his work and turned his direction towards Swathi's room when they heard the door open.

There she was walking along with Swathi holding her hands . This time he was completely swept off by seeing her . She looked gorgeous , like a dream . Her kohl's eyes that definitely did convey a lot . The big fat jhumkas were dancing to her tunes.
He was ready to fall for her over and over again. His eyes screamt " the lady walking down there is mine."

If he had a chance , he would have carried her in his arms and reached there room. His gaze was only on her . Sanjana knew his gaze his entirely on her but she did not want to speak to him,  because of the teasings that she had to bear . She decided not to give Varun the needed attention

Aadi : Mama ! Sanju va neenga aprama kuda pakkalam . Inga vanga ennaku help pannunga.

Varun gave him a deathly glare and straddled his neck for fun.

Varun noticed the happiness and beam of new comings in the face of Vijay . The way he admired the motherly glow in Swathi was a treat to watch. Vijay had tears forming in his eyes and he warded off the evil eyes for his wife and the unborn child making others go in awe.

Vijay's family and relatives as well took part in the baby shower. Here Varun was trying his level best to get the attention of Sanjana but to his dismay he did not .

Rightly there was a girl in twenties who dashed him and he held the girl in reflex making sure she doesn't fall .

Varun : Hey pathu ma !

" Idha konjam pudikuringala ? If u don't mind I ll take it back after I adjust the saree . " The girl replied.

"Paiyan pakka semmaya irukan la ! Namma Mrinalini kita dhan pesitu irukan . Marinating ku pesi muduchurulam ? " A lady in her fifties asked to the lady sitting beside her

The ladies and Mrinalini were relatives of Vijay , Mrinalini is Vijay's cousin.

"Jodi porutham pakkava iruku la ?" The lady again asked and this time Sanjana who was crossing by heard it and She saw where there eyes followed and she widened her eyes

Sanjana Mv : Edheyyy ?? Avaru en purushan !

Sanjana saw Varun holding her things , while Mrinalini  kept adjusting her saree . After she finished adjusting she took back her things and gave a smile . They continued there conversation for a little more minutes making the ladies happy while Sanjana's stomach was burning out of jealousy.

As if the universe had heard her rambles. Raji ma had called a Varun to introduce him to Vijay's family and relatives . When they heard Varun is Sanjana's husband the ladies who wanted to get Mrinalini married to him face fell out of disappointment.

Soon the baby shower began , They made Swathi sit in the centre and one by one the elders applied turmeric mixture on the both the sides of her cheeks . Each one made her wear bangles . It was Vijay's turn to do the ritual , when he went and placed his palms on her cheeks the eyes were filled with adoration . Vijay made her wear the bangles with utmost  care and joined there foreheads when he was done . The cousins looked contended . Sanjana admired the equation shared by Vijay and Swathi . Here Varun was admiring the way Sanjana looked contended.

He had a small imagination running  down his mind , how would it be if instead of Swathi it is Sanjana . For sure she would look even more gorgeous when she is carrying a baby inside. He trailed these events with them in his mind making him blush at the thoughts.

Sanjana was standing there in between with Amritha and Aditi. Sanjana looked down when she felt someone tucking her saree pallu down.

Sanjana : Sollu thango? She said looking at small girl.

The little girl had actioned asking Sanjana to bend down. Sanjana bent down to her height when she got a tight kiss from the small girl.

"Anga blue shirt potutu nikura mama dhan unga kita kiss kuduka sonnaga " She said in  her cute little voice

Sanjana kissed the little girl back and walked off knowing Varun's gaze his on her .

Sanjana : Idhuku matum onnu korachal illa ! She thought.

As if Viji ma understood what had transpired between them .

Viji : Varun Sanjana inga vanga . She called them near her.

The duo went near her and stood next to her

Viji : Mela konjam saman iruku adha edhutu matum vanga rendu perum . She said.

Sanjana then turned to walk but stopped when Viji spoke again

Viji : Indha manjal ah poi mela vachuru okay ! She said giving the turmeric mixture.

Varun mentally thanked Viji atleast he would get few minutes of privacy with his wife in this home packed with family members and relatives.

They both then walked up the stairs . Sanjana walked carefully since she had the turmeric in her hand if it falls then her entire saree would be spoilt.

Varun walked besides her , he expected her to speak but he did not find her wanting to speak .

Varun pinched her exposed waist to gain her attention but instead all he got was a deathly glare from Sanjana. She walked two steps ahead of him while he pulled her holding her wrist and leaned back on the pillar along with tightening his grip around her waist.

Sanjana with her one hand went on continuously hitting his chest asking him to leave her.

Varun : Hey morning la irundhu pesanum nu expect panna ! Over ah dhan panra

Sanjana : Oh na over ah panrena ! Ponga andha Mrinalini kita poi nalla siruchu pesunga enkita edhuku varinga . She asked agitated

Varun : Adiye Mrinalini yaru ippa ?

Sanjana : Anga help pannitu , illuchu illuchu pesuninga la , ponga anga ye poi ava kitaye pesunga .

Varun : Siruchu pesunadhu ippa oru kuthama ?

Sanjana : Vita avunga Ungaluku andha ponna kalynam panni vachurupanga . Ippa kuda prachana illa ennaya divorce pannitu kalynam pannikong ... before she could complete she felt his palms dipped in turmeric which was in her hand on her cheeks.

He applied it to one of her cheeks and took his hands and applied it to the other one . She gasped when she could feel his cold hand.

Varun : Yaroo na dhan possessive nu sonnaga ! Ippa inga yaru possessive ? He asked applying a little turmeric  on her nose.

Sanjana melted for few minutes with his action but did not give up and wiped the turmeric on her face by grazing her cheeks against his bearded face making him loose his grip on her due to Sanjana's sudden action .

She took this as a chance to escape from him when he again held her hands

Varun : Enga odura ? He said straddling her into a hug.

With the proximity and her being deadly gorgeous did not help him any way in denying what he wants. He bent down and held her chin. While he was about to place his lips on her . She pushed him as she heard  Aadi coming ....

Aadi : Mama ! Enga ponninga ? Keela ellarum teduranga . He came screaming

Varun : Indha jenmathula ivanuku kalynam agadhu ! Un thambi ku vera nerame teriadha ? He asked irritated.

Sanjana : Neenga bromance pannunga adhuku dhan neenga seri patu varuvinga ! Romance is not your cup of tea Husband.

Varun : Adhu na seri pathu varuvena illa ya nu nee room ku vara modhu kamikuren . He whispered making her cheeks taint in pink .

She wiped of the turmeric in his cheeks with her hands and ran away before Aadi catches them red handed

Varun : Machan kuda romance panna va na inga vandhen. He slammed his head

***********
Varun and Sanjana had reached Swathi's room to handover the gift to her

Swathi was sitting on the bed while Sanjana sat near her baby bump and started speaking. While Vijay and Varun were speaking amongst themselves

Sanjana : Kutty ma ! Eppudi irukinga ? Seekram veliya vanga. Ungalukaga Vikram Mama Aadi Mama , Madhu athai , Amru chitti ,Aditi chitti apram mukiyama Sanju chitti and Varun chittappa wait panrom . Ellam thata pati , Lakshmi pati Vishwa thatavum neenga vara wait panuranga .

As she finished the baby kicked Swathi and Sanjana who kept her hands on the baby bump while speaking felt an jittery feeling after seeing the baby kick as she spoke .

Swathi caressed her hair seeing the happy tears in Sanjana . Varun even though was speaking to Vijay had his ears and eyes on Sanjana . He felt happy when she felt the baby kicking. The thought of them having there own kids occurred.

The duo then walked from there . While Varun held Sanjana's hands inside his and looked into her eyes

Varun : Namma kids will be lucky to have a mother like you . He said joining there foreheads. He said and walked away casually.

Sanjana was left dumbstruck there , Even though she has spoken about how much she is waiting for Swathi's baby and the love she has for kids but for the first time they talking about there kids and Varun who started the conversation made her turn into a nadamadum tomato .....
