Vishwa and Keerthi left to Pollachi along with Keerthi's fam,Meera,Sakthi and Balu.After all the welcomings and procedures the left inside.Everyone was busy with the new bride to be and Vetri's mom noticed the couple.

'Vaanga Vishwa,Keerthi', Vetri's mom welcomed them with a wide smile.
'Yepdi irukeenga ma?', Vishwa asked smiling.
'Nalla iruken da kanna..Keerthi nallairikiya da?Neenga epdi irukeenga?',Vetri's mom asked.

'Nallairukom ma',Keerthi smiled.
'Adhu seri.. varumbodhu engaluku peran odayo pethi odayo varuveenga nu nenache?',Vetri's mom asked with a smile and they both looked at eachother awkwardly.

Seeing their awkwardness,she changed the topic.
'Vetri ungaluku dha romba neram wait pannitu irundhaan..Mela poi paarunga',Vetri's mom said and they both left nodding.

That's when Keerthi's mind striked, she'll be around relatives and everyone will ask the same to her.She made herself prepared for everyone's questions and her trance broke by Vetri's hug.

'Dei papa yepdi da iruka?',Vetri asked.
'Nalla iruken ney..Neenga?',Keerthi asked smiling but it doesn't reached her eyes, it doesn't went unnoticed by Vetri, not only her's he also noticed Vishwa's.He decided to ask them later involved in the chats.

'Aama enna ney?Anni ya thedureengala?',Keerthi asked.
'Mmkumm..Yen ma nee vera, Kalyanam mudiyura varaikum paakave koodadhunu sollitaanga..',Vetri sighed.
'Apdi edhum engalta sollala..Kalyanathuku munnadi..',Keerthi said.

'Sonna mattu ketruveengala neenga?', Vijay asked as he entered with the boys.
'Congratulations Pudhu mappillai',they boys engulfed Vetri in a group hug.
'Dei apdiye avalayu kootitu vaangalen da..',Vetri said pulling back.

'Haann haann..Innum rendu naal dhan ney..Life full ah paathute dhana iruka poreenga?',Sakthi said.
'Aama Maapla,kalyanathuku munnadi apdidhan,Yeppoda paapom nu irukum,Aana kalyanam aanadhuku aprom Yeppoda veeta vittu oduvomnu irukum..',Balu said and everyone laughed.

Vishwa was being silent throughout their conversation.

'Enna maapla?Valakkathuku maara romba amaidhiya iruka?',Vijay asked.
'Illa da travel tired dhan..Naan room ku poren..', Vishwa left from there.
Keerthi's face fell when he left and Vetri was noticing everything.

'Seri..Ellaru poi rest edunga.. Evening Engagement irukulla..',Vetri said and everyone left but Vetri stopped Keerthi.

'Enna ney?',she asked.
'Happy ah irukiya da?',Vetri asked.
'Enaku enna ney..Naan happy ah dhana iruken?',she asked faking a smile and Vetri smirked.

'Thangachi..Unaku poi solla varaadhunu enakum theriyum ma..',Vetri said patting her head.
'Anneyy..Adhulam onnume illa,Paarunga Im so happy..Neenga yedhuvu yosikaama function ku ready aagunga..Naan poi konjam rest edukuren..',Keerthi left before she could breakdown and Vetri knew it well.

'Keerthi..',Vishwa called her and she hummed in response.
'Nee ipdi irukaadha..Konjam siriyen.Ellaru kelvi kepaangalla..', Vishwa said and Keerthi glared at him.
'Mathavangalukaga lam ennala sirikka mudiyaadhu Vishwa.. I'll do if I wanted to..Siripu onnu dhan korachal ipo..',Keerthi left taking her dress from the luggage.

Vishwa huffed and he didn't know what to do.Keerthi was just throwing her words like thrones whenever he initiated the convo.He sighed and settled himself on the bed.

Soon everyone gathered for the engagement and Vetri's mom was very much emotional.She lost her husband and raised Vetri being a single mother.She have none except Vetri and Vishwa's family.

Lakshmikandhan was the one who made all the arrangements for Vetri and Meera's wedding.

'Anna..Romba nandri.Enaku kooda porandha annan irundhurundha kooda ivlo nalla idha eduthu panniruka maatanga..Aana neenga unga veetu Kalyanam maadhiri eduthu nadathureenga,Romba sandhosham..',Vetri's mom thanked with teary eyes to Lakshmikandhan and he smiled.

'Enna ma nee?Vetri indha veetu paiyan dhana,Neeyum enga veetu ponnu dhan..Idhu namma veetu kalyanam..Naanga unna enikume pirichu paathadhu illa ma..', Lakshmikandhan said and Vetri's mom nodded in gratitude.

'Ponnoda amma appa va vara sollungoo..',the priest said and Meera's face fell hearing this.
Meera has no family,she was brought up in home and she started her own life when she stepped out from there.Meera was Keerthi's college senior and that's where their friendship starts..

'Naanga dhan..', KrishnaKumar and Archana stood as Meera's parents and her eyes welled up.
'Achoo..Kalayana ponnu ka neenga..Azha koodadhu',Keerthi said and Meera chuckled wiping her tears.

Soon the rituals completed and both the groom and bride were asked to exchange the rings.They did.
Meera was very emotional and Vetri held her hand.He squeezed her palm and blinked as assurance that they'll together forever!

'Chaa..Ellarukum kalyanam aagudhu..Naan mattum dhan single ah iruken..',Vijay huffed.
'Apo naanga?',Balu asked.
'Ahmm..Apo vaa da enaku set nee dhan..', Vijay put his arm around Balu's shoulder.

'Innorutha irukaan Vijay anne,Namma portugal pombala police uh..',Balu said pointing Sakthi.
'Yedhu Portugal Pombala Police ah?Hmm..En weight therila ungaluku',Sakthi said adjusting his hair.

'Nee enga pa weight ah iruka?Uff nu oodhuna parakara maadhiri iruka..',Vijay said and everyone laughed at his comment.But here our love birds were in the thought about flying away from eachother.

After all the rituals and lunch time all the cousins gathered.
'Hey.. Yedhavadhu veladlama?',Vijay asked.
'Ohh..Veladlame...Enna game?',Sakthi asked.

After a long discussion they decided to play antakshri.
'Hey adhu bore uh..',Meera said.
'Heyy ella velaiyaatum bore na aprom enna panradhu?',Vijay asked.

'Adha yen namma vithiyasama panna koodadhu?', Sakthi asked.
'Vithiyasama va?Yepdi?', everyone asked.

'Yen group ah chorus podreenga?Wait let me tell..Namma yen letters ku badhil ah word vechuka koodadhu..I mean,Ellarum pillow pass pannuvom,song background la play aagum,so song stop aagumbodhu yaaru kaila pillow iruko,they should sing.

'Dei thambi,arivu iruku da unaku..Veladlam veladlam..',Meera said.
The game started and Now it was Keerthi's turn,the word she got is 'Poo'
(Flower)..

Keerthi's gaze moved to Vishwa and she started singing..

Unnai paarthadhum Annalile
Kadhal nenjil varave illai
Edhir kaatrile kudai polave
Saaindhen indru ezhave illai

Iravil urakkam illai
Pagalil velicham illai
Kadhalil karaivadhum oru sugam

Yedharku paarthen endru
Indru purindhenada
Ennai nee yetrukol muzhuvadhum..

En nenjil oru poo poothadhu
Adhan per enna vena keten
En Kannil oru thee vandhadhu
Adhan per enna vena keten

Enna adhu imaigal kettadhu
Enna adhu Idhayam kettadhu
Kadhal ena uyirum sonnadhu anbey
Kadhal ena uyirum sonnadhu anbey

(En Nenjil song from Baana Kaathadi)

The song reflected her thoughts and she did it directly looking at Vishwa.She didn't even take her eyes once.

Both of their eyes filled with tears and everyone's eyes were fixed on Keerthi.
'He..hello..',Vishwa pretend like he is receiving a call and left from there.

'Paah..enna voice da..',Balu clapped his hands and everyone came out from their trance hearing his clap.
Both Meera and Sakthi knew what was going between them and sighed,while Vetri and Vijay was confused.They could feel something is off between them and which increased their doubt is,the day was almost going to end but they didn't even had a argument.They'll always have silly arguments and fights and they can't be without those.

Vishwa was shedding tears at the corner of his room looking outside the window.The teary eyes of her's never ready to make a move.Her voice was ringing inside him mind and Vishwa was crying so hard.Suddenly he felt someone's hand on Vishwa's shoulder.

It was Vetri.Vishwa quickly wiped his tears and Vetri was glaring at him.
'Maapla..Enna maraikireenga rendu perum enkitta?',Vetri asked folding his arms.
'O..Onnum illa da', Vishwa said shrugging.

'Idho paaru maapla,adi vaangama unmaiya sollidu..',Vetri said and Vishwa couldn't hold it anymore.He hugged Vetri and started sobbing so badly.
'Dei..Maapla enna da?',Vetri asked and Vishwa was still sobbing.

'Machaann...I love her da...',Vishwa said choking and Vetri pulled back.
'First ukkaru va..', Vetri made Vishwa sit on the bed and gave him some water.

'Sollu enna da prechanai?',Vetri asked and Vishwa explained everything.
'Enna da solra?Ivlo nadandhurkaa?',Vetri asked and Vishwa nodded.

'Nee yen da avala kekkamaye ivlo periya mudivu edutha?',Vetri asked.
'Therla da..Ava happy ah irukanumnu nenache,Naan oru vela love ah solli avala ennavittu poga vidaama pannitenna?Adhu kashtam machaan..Avala naan poga vidanum..',Vishwa said and Vetri frowned.

'Avaluku edhu sandhosham nu nee yepdi da mudivu pannuva?',Vetri asked and Vishwa remained silent.
'Nee enna theriyuma pannirukanum,idha pathi avakitta pesirukanum,neeye ella mudivum ava kitta discuss pannama eduka koodadhu..',Vetri said.

'Dei adhu illa da..Ava dream ah persue pannama irukuradhuku naan oru reason ah iruka koodadhunu nenaikire..Iniku illanaalum ennikaavadhu ava naan dhaan karanamnu ava yosichaa..rendu perukume kashtam..', Vishwa said and Vetri sighed.

'Dei poi pesu da,Sorry kelu yen kaal la kooda vizhu..Aprom porumaiya discuss pannunga da..',Vetri said and Vishwa chuckled painfully.
'Inimel enna da..Avaluku Visa vandhuruchu..Ava poiduvaa..', Vishwa said and Vetri shook his head in disbelief.

'Nee thirumba thirumba idhey sollama poi avalta pesu..Avaluku edhu viruppam nu kelu..',Vetri said and moved from there.

'May be he is correct,Naa ava kitta pesanum..', Vishwa thought and ran in search of her.
