S's dad: You two alone ?? What if I say my daughter wants to go with you??

D: Huh??

R: What ??

Her father broke into a wide grin and hugged D.

Flashback (zzoooooooinnnnggggg!!!!)

S: Appa !!

S's dad: I asked you do you love him ??

He was stern.

S: Appa, the engagement....boy and his family will be here anytime....

She stuttered.

S's dad: Just answer my question! Yes or no??

SSR mv: Pls say yes talli all our lives are dependent on your say.

T: Yes uncle ! She loves him very much!!

S: Tammy !!

T: You shut up I've had enough of mil torture from you always silencing me. Let me talk. Uncle, she loves him ! She is crazy about him this has been going on for years but she feared to tell him as she didn't know if he felt the same way for her. She didn't want to ruin their friendship or cause you worry so she agreed for this engagement but she is not one bit happy. Even now she is not opening her mouth as she doesn't want to hurt you.

T said in a single breath and crossed her arms angrily at her front. S had tears in her eyes.

S's dad: But my daughter isn't saying anything ?

S had her head bowed and continued to remain silent.

S's dad: Mr. Raj, my daughter isn't interested in him so...

S: Appa no ! I love him! If he feels the same way ok else I'll remain his good friend... always...

SSR: He does talli ! He too loves you !

S looked up at SSR, she couldn't believe her ears. He nodded his head affirming his words. She was overwhelmed with joy and cried. T hugged her.

T: Yaayy !! My mother-in-law's love story is a success!!

She looked at her father who showed no emotions. S was overcome with guilt.

S: Appa.. sorry. I didn't mean to disgrace you. I love Pabsu with all my heart but I assumed he never saw me that way and knowing how worried you all were for my future I took the decision to move on but now that I know he too loves me I don't want this engagement! I won't marry another! Pls stop this engagement! If you aren't happy about us being together it's alright. I can understand Pabsu will too. For us family is important. I'll remain as your daughter forever. I'll forget him.

She lowered her eyes. Her heart ached to say the last sentence. She loved her Pabsu too much to let him go but she was willing to make the sacrifice for her family who gave her the world. What would she do if her dad didn't approve ? She felt her legs go numb at the thought.

At that moment, Bahubalifan snapped her fingers and her dad smiled.

S's dad: Look at my little princess, feels like I carried you in my arms for the first time yesterday now you are talking like a big lady! When you think so much for your family won't we care about your happiness ?? Sweety, it is your life you have decided you want to marry Prabhas who are we to stop you?? We will only be supportive to you. My daughter should be happy with whomever she is you don't worry about the engagement. We will get you married to the boy you love.

S: Appa... really ??

S's dad: Yes ma! You both have my consent and blessings.

She ran and hugged her dad.

S: Thanks appa... I love you.. !!

She cried and her dad wiped the happy tears from her eyes. Ra and S's mother stood at the doorway witnessing the hungama.

Ra: What is happening here?

SSR: Mmm.. uncut version of scenes at Kunthala raiyam. I'll explain to you later first let me get the moddhu here.

Flashback ended.

D was smiling from ear to ear. Tears of joy streamed from his eyes and same for R. Both exchanged a hug and R lifted D off the ground. After swirling once, he let him down and D embraced SSR.

D: Thanks is a small word but still I have to say it...Thank you bava and Raj, if not for you guys...

R: Chey... what is this bava saying thanks and all like some outsider.. we are a family..

SSR: Exactly! Go ra.. what are you waiting for??

He ran to S's room with the rest in tow. S's family were there in her room. Her sil trembled seeing D and hid behind her husband.

Sil: Aiyoo devre! Mathe bandha.. (Oh god he came again!)

D: Bangaram !

S: Pabsu pa!

They took small steps towards each other staring into eyes. Their hearts raced and they felt butterflies in their stomach. He held her hands in his. It was a euphoric moment for them.

D: Sweety...

S: You idiot! Why didn't you tell me ?You wasted so many years ??

D: I was afraid you would reject me!!

S: Me rejecting you ?? No way da !! What am I without you ?

She cried and punched him on his chest lighty.

D: Ouch !

S: Oops sorry... sorry Pabsu pa...

She rubbed the part where she hit him.

D: Hit me anywhere... Sweety not here (pointing to his heart) because there is where you are and it pains me if you get hurt.

She smiled as he rubbed her tears away and they hugged.All those around cheered them.

Sil: Phew !! Thank god...It was not for me so I guess he came for her last night. Silly me!

Suddenly D pulled apart.

S: What happened ?? 

D: I haven't proposed to you!

S: Its ok.. I don't need all that. We love each other and now we know.

D: No wait mmm...

S: What are you looking for ??

R: Bavaa here catch !

He threw a red rose to D who caught it.

D: See this bangaram...rose... red rose.

S: (Blushing) Ok give me...

D: No not like that! Wait there is way...mmm... bava said... mmm...

He went down on all fours and everyone swapped looks. S became worried.

S: Pabsu get up! Why are you falling at my feet?? Pls don't !!

R: Bro, he is practicing now itself. Hereafter he has to do that everyday.

The rest laughed.

SSR: Rey moddhu, why are you scratching the floor??

D: Hmm... I marked a spot here in lipstick I am searching for it... it is missing now. Bangaram pls step aside let me check.. aahhh forget it.

He tried to recall the 'kneel on one knee' position.

R: Oh my god this guy !! Look at him as if getting ready for a running race...

D: Aiyooo bava I forgot ra ! Hmm..never mind...I know what to do.

He got up and faced her.

D: Sweetu, Bava taught me..I rehearsed how to propose to you last night but now I forgot so it's ok I'll do it my way...

Taking a deep breath and clearing his throat he looked into her eyes deeply.

D: Bangaram, I love you and want to marry you if you accept me as your better half take this rose and keep on your hair if not drop it on the floor. 

SSR: Reyy what kind of proposal is this ra ??

D: Bhimavaram style raj! In my village guys don't go on their knees like that they give rose and a love letter in the girl's hand if she is interested she wil take the flower and keep on her hair, no means she will throw it down.

SSR: Abbo he proved he is a telugu abbayi!!

T: Ohhh this is so cute !!

S didn't react and turned her back to him. D frowned.

D: Why did you turn away bangaram ?? You don't like me ??

S: Haan...no no!! Mmm... you only keep the rose on my hair.....bava...

He grinned on hearing the word bava as that is how women in his place address their beaus/husbands. She blushed twirling her saree pallu around her finger as he fit the rose on her braid. He held her by her shoulder and turned her to face him. T played the audio in her phone which reverberated throughout the room,

"Ee kshanam nunchi maranam mamalni veruchesanthavaraku nenu nee vaadni Devasena"

They both felt shy and she hid her face on his chest he embraced her in a teddy bear hug. All clapped hands and cheered them. S's parents shed tears of joy.

S's mom: Finally my daughter's life is settled, she got her prince charming, the happily ever after life she wished for.

DS took the blessings of her parents.S's father hugged them both and took her hand placing it on his symbolising that she now belonged to him but then they heard the sound of cars.S's bro peeped out of the window.

S's bro: Oh no! The boy's relatives have arrived, the boy and his parents will be here anytime what do we do now??

D: Erm.. I will tell them and apologize.

S's mom: Oh dear they will think we hid your affair from them but the truth is we only came to know now.

S: I can explain to them amma.

S's dad: No, that won't look good. Amma and I will handle them but if they are adamant that they want to see you ??

R: No problem uncle. We can substitute bro with Tammy. She'll go as the bride and get engaged to that fella anyway she likes him. It is time she got settled and deliver us from her menace. T is also a nice girl just that he has to bear with her obnoxious outfits. What say tent ??

She glared at him showing him the cutthroat gesture.

T: Gggrrr !! You are finished joker !

R: 😝😝😝

S's mom: Sweety, you leave with them..

S: What are you saying amma ??

S's mom: You and your friends leave this place now. We will handle them!!
