Yadav: Apo en ponna kalyanam pannikriya, Puppy??? 

Siddharth was taken aback when he heard that. He hadn't counted on it. He never imagined that this would happen in such a dreadful way. He was in a situation where he couldn't deny his parents' remarks and couldn't injure them either.

He turned to face them, who were standing with their breaths held in. Tears welled up in his eyes. As his heart craved for it, all he wanted was to be treated like a baby. He looked at his ageing parents and his long-lost love.

His joyful little family was standing there, arms wide open, welcoming him in. But he was crying alone, unsure whether to join them because he was scared.

All he could hear was her words, she spoke out in her anger on that haunting day.

Sarakshi: Iniku en life le andha oru nimisham I regretted being your girlfriend.

He pressed his lips thin and controlled his emotions. He took a deep breath and began talking.

Siddharth: Endha nambikkai le unga ponna kudukringa, Pa??

Yadav was shocked to hear that..

Yadav: Sid.... Enna da solra???

Siddharth: I don't have a proper job, Paa... Na ipo edhum earn panla... I only have my savings... Na endha velai kum pogama  veetla dhan iruken... Aprm neenga edha paathu unga ponna en kita kudukringa???

Everyone went silent.

Siddharth: Podhuva parents avanga ponnungala kalyanam panni kuduka evlo yosipanga... Evlo visaripanga... I have nothing with me right now, Pa...

Yadav: Sid...

Siddharth: Enna kekradhu irukattum... Avangala ketingala? He pointed Sarakshi.

Siddharth: Kettu dhan mudivu edukringala??? Reg... Regret pannida matangale??? He chocked on his words.

It was Sarakshi now, who was weeping silently. She wished to burry herself for all the venomous words she said.

Sarakshi: I'm sorry , Sid.... Indha kalyanam dhan en love uh prove panradhuku aana orey vazhi.... I'll not leave you, Sid !!!

Sarakshi: Appa.... Enaku avar kita konjam pesanum!!

Sarakshi moved out, wiping away her tears and Siddharth followed her, outside the room.

Sarakshi: Sid....

She moved towards him, with tearful eyes that screamed her love towards him. Siddharth's heart teared when he saw his little bird's eyes drenched in tears. She wanted him to cup her face and just tell a word that condoles everything.

Sarakshi: Appa kaaga mattum paakadhinga... Ungaluku indha marriage le ishtama??

He remained silent.

Sarakshi: Nalla yosichu sollunga, Sid... Na paathukren ungala... Raja maari... Endha kashtam um varamaa... Please Sid... Enna thiruthikka... En thappa thiruthikka.. en love uh prove panna enaku oru chance venum... Please Sid... Give me another chance. She begged

Siddharth: Another chance??? You are right there in my heart, Sakshi!! But enna edho thadukudhu maa... Enaku bayama iruku....

Sarakshi: Nalla time eduthu yosichu unga mudivu sollunga... Okay nu mattum sollunga!!!

Getting no response from him, she sighed and moved away giving him some time.

Siddharth's deep thoughts were interrupted by a phone call. It was Ryan.

Ryan: Enna machan?? Oru call kooda pannala... Commit aagitiya da??

Siddharth felt his heart light, the next moment and he knew what he wanted.

Siddharth: Aama Machan!!!

Ryan was shocked.

Ryan: Edheyy??? Yaara andha paava patta jeevan??

Siddharth: Deii....

Ryan: Pinnae enna da?? Therinje yaarachu suicide pannipangala?

He giggled.

Siddharth: Saaganum nu mudivu pannita... Suicide panna enna? Train idichudhu setha enna da??

Ryan: Machan... Enna da aachu unaku? Mandaila adi edhum padalaye? Oru naal dhana da unna thaniya vitutu ponen?? Adhukulla yaara unna ipdi maathuna?

Siddharth ignored everything he said.

Siddharth: Machan... Enaku kalyanam da...

Ryan: Hey iru iru!!! Nee Chennai ku vandhe one month kooda aagirkadhey da...

Ryan sighed.

Ryan: Seri seri... Serious uh kekren... Enaachu da???

Siddharth: Sakshi oda appa... Avala Kalyanam pannikriya nu enkita ketaaru da...

Ryan: Woww.... Nee enna da sonna??

Ryan was equally shocked as Siddharth.

Siddharth took deep breaths and remained silent.

Ryan: Ryan... Velai uh aarambichudu da... Ne India ku edhukaaga vandhiyo andha velai start aagiduchu...

Ryan: Machan... Na onnu sollava??

Siddharth: Hmm...

Ryan: Puriyudhu da... Again unaala oru heart break ethukka mudiyathu nu puriyudhu... But they are your family da... Evlo kashta patrupanga... Ithana varsham evlo guilty uh feel pannirpaanga???

Siddharth went silent again.

Ryan: Indha maari oru family kedaikka nee kuduthu vechurkanum Machan... Especially Sarakshi maari oru ponnu kedaika...

Siddharth smiled this time.

Ryan: Unaku pudikala na sollu da... Naanum oru vaati try pannuven le??

Siddharth: En kalyanatha nadathi vekka poradhe nee dhan, Machan!!

Ryan: Apo idhu green signal dhana???

Siddharth smiled again.

Ryan: Ayooo na orey happy uh irukene Machan.... Ellam andha Butterfly shawl uh paatha luck uh dhan....

Siddharth: Butterfly shawl uh??? Deii enna da???

Ryan: Adhellam unaku sonna puriyaadhu machan... Na aprm solren... Na ipo poi kalyanam velaigal paakren... Tataaw..

Siddharth went towards the room and saw his parents being tensed. Sarakshi was  tensed even to look at his face.

He walked towards them and sat beside his father and took his hands in his.

Yadav looked at him with yearning eyes.

Siddharth: Unga ponna nambi kudunga, Pa.... Badhrama paathukren...

Sarakshi looked at his face with utmost shock. She began crying in happiness. Same goes with everyone in that little family.

Yadav hugged Siddharth and Yashoda kissed his cheek. Siddharth closed his eyes, to feel it as tearsade their way from his eyes.

Sarakshi: Enakaaga pesa en parents ipo ila... Yaarum ile... But Appa Enakaaga un kitaye 'en ponna kalyanam pannikriya' nu ketrukaaru.... Thankyou Sid!!! I'm so lucky to have you in my life... Inimel I'm going to give you everything back... Everything you lost because of me!!!!

Siddharth: I must have been the happiest person in this world if the situations were different, Sakshi ma... Namma kalyanam epdi ellam irukanum nu aasa pattom...

Yadav: Po puppy.... Ava kooda iru!!

Siddharth stood up and went towards her and stood beside her and wrapped his hand around her shoulders. Sarakshi was trying hard not to fall. She got reminded of the first time they met in an interview. He wrapped his hands around her the same way he did now.

She felt the same warmth even after all these years.

Siddharth: Naa paathukren, Pa... Neenga kavala padadhinga...

Yadav and Yashoda smiled and blessed them , having happy tears.

Yadav: Puppy... Saaptiya da???

Siddharth: Ile paa...

Yadav: Po da... Avalum saapdala... Rendu perum poi saptu vanga...

They together moved out. Siddharth held the door open for her and waited till she moved out and he exited the room after her.

Yadav's phone which was on Yashoda's bag began ringing.

Smiling and sighing Yashoda gave his phone to him. Yadav smiled looking at the screen.

Yadav: Enna pa???

Ryan: Appa.... Neenga vera level... Na sonnadha vida semmaya act pannitinga... Aprm enna Saamiyaar ku kalyanam panni vechudlaam!!!!!!
