D: Reyy bava why do you keep harassing liliput... she is paapam no... you come Tammy we'll run together.

D grasped her hand. He ran with S on right and T on his left.

R: Oh his luck even in this mess he has two women by his side look at me I am left alone as usual ! Sob...sob...

"Bow wow wow wow"

A white labrador puppy came running and joined R.

R: Hey ! Who is this beauty ??

S: She is Snowy shetty bro! Mac shetty's sister. She loves me a lot I think seeing me run she also wants to come. Nice girl. We're searching for a groom for her. The thing is she wants to marry only a King!

D: Oh really?That's so nice.We're also on the lookout for a bride for Blacky. He rejected about 200 proposals maybe he might like Snowy and Blacky Uppalapati is a King just like me!

S: Oh wow Pabsu, if they like each other we can get them married also.

R: As if it isn't enough these two joined now they are matchmaking their pets also...no one to care about me. Atleast you are there with me Snowy.. thank you.

"Bow wow"

S's bro was waiting in the car and they all hopped in. She peeped out of the window.

S: Snowy, baby, no not now! Be a good girl and go in. Tata! I love you!

Snowy wagged her tail showing her love to S and barked as if obeying her. They rode off. D tilted his body towards S and started romancing her she eyed him to sit silently.

D: Bangaram... bangu.. ba...

He noticed SSR staring at and he gave a sheepish grin.

SSR: Aei stop it ra ! Have some consideration for others. There is an unmarried young girl and guy with us.

D: They won't mind Raj. Bava, Tammy do you mind ??

T: See no evil !

R: Hear no evil !

SSR: And you are a devil ra!! We came by front door with dignity now leaving by back gate alike thieves after looting a fortune all because of you !

D: You are right Raj! Sweety is the bangaram(gold)we are fleeing after looting her. Hee hee hee...What sweetu ??

Ra: We ah ?? It is you ! You are swamy ranga petty thief who stole her! Couldn't you have told us a word earlier ?? We would have done something about it instead of running away from an engagement!!

D: How would I know bangaram?? I seriously came to attend her engagement never had I the slightest thought I would elope with her. Just as all the major events in my life this too is unexpected what to do I don't plan anything it just happens.

S: I feel bad for the boy and his people. They would have mistaken us. All because of me.

S's bro: Don't worry sweety. Amma and Appa will handle them. I know what we did is wrong but nothing matters to us more than your life and happiness. We are ready to face anything for you.

Ra: Yes sweety atleast it happened before the betrothal after means it would have been impossible to break off.

Meanwhile at her home,

The boy's side had come and were seated. S's dad sat on the sofa opposite to them, his head bent and sweating thinking what to tell. S's mother came down. Seeing them she became nervous but began her act,

S's mom: (mv: Oops, their faces not good a big drama going to take place better to faint like Oorvashi garu in the movie) Huh...uh... Swee.. ty..

She pretended to faint and her dad immediately got up and rushed to her side catching her. She leaned on his shoulder, her eyes closed.

S's dad: Oh dear! What happened to you??

She winked at her dad discreetly and he got the cue.

S's dad: Huh..uh... oh no Sweetyyyy !!!

Abhinav's parents got up, a worried look on their faces.

Ab's dad: What happened to Sweety ??

S's dad: Sweetyyyy...she... she is not...she's up..no..she's..

Ab's mom: Oh dear !! Is she upset ?? All because of my son ! We're so sorry !

S's mom opened her eyes and stood straight.

S's mom: Huh ?? What did you say ??

Her dad was also equally confused.

Ab's dad: That... our son... he had given his consent for this alliance and only then we had proceeded but don't know what came over him last night he wanted to call off everything we tried coaxing him but he wouldn't listen we thought it would be alright by morning but....

He eyed Abhinav's mom who continued from there.

Ab's mom: Morning when I went to his room he wasn't there! He wrote a letter stating that he was returning to US and would return after 3 months. He had requested in the letter to call off this engagement making it pristine clear he didn't want to marry Sweety as he regards her as his sister and has wished her well.

Ab's dad: We apologize on his behalf pls forgive us. We would like to end this here. We wish Sweety will get a better life, a guy who will love and treasure her till end unlike my son who backed off midway.

Sil stifled her giggle.

Sil mv: She already got that guy !

S's parents heaved a sigh of relief. They didn't know how to cancel the engagement. It would be embarrassing to them and hurtful to the guy's side but thankfully they themselves called it off thus relieving them of guilt and shame but they had to continue their act else it would create suspicion so,

S's mom: Sob..sob... oh no that's why my daughter is upset ! She's crying buckets in the room.. oh dear must this happen to us ??Oh my daughter's life !!!

Ab's mom: We would like to see Sweety and explain to her.

S's dad: Huh...uh... she doesn't like to be disturbed when she's crying if we call her down she might take some drastic decision and hang herself !! Who will give life to my daughter now ?? Sob...sob...

Ab's dad: Erm... if you don't mind... my brother's son.. is also Abhinav's age. They're also looking for an alliance if you wish you can consider...

S's dad mv: Oops... looks like I spoke too much ! What to do now ?

He looked at his wife helplessly who glared at him.

S's mom mv: Ohh !!! This man and his overacting ! Who asked him to talk about giving life to daughter ? I have to act fast !!

S's mom: Huh..uh...no it's ok. She just suffered a heartbreak. We don't want to pressurize her again. Let her come out of this trauma first until then no marriage topic. We'll send her to Hyderabad, her best friend is..erm..her friends are there. They will look after her and she can be free for some days.

Ab's mom: You are right. Poor girl might forget everything when she gets a change of place. Pls ask her her friend to look after her well.

Sil: That he will...I mean they will.

Abhinav's family left and S's family exchanged looks of relief.

***

The rest arrived at the airport. S and T went to the ladies to change.They bid her bro farewell and left for Hyderabad.

In the flight they were seated in pairs.

SSR: Hmm looks like we have to make another trip to Bangalore again for their engagement.

Ra: Lol, this time it will go on without any hiccups...pucca...

S stuck to D, he head resting on his shoulder. He leaned his head towards her and taking her hand into his, he drew circles on her palm with his finger.

D: Sweetu ma... such a beautiful design got ruined no...

S: Mmm.. maybe be a forewarning that this one was not meant to be.

She gazed into his eyes and he inched closer to her face. She moved back.

S: Pabsu pa behave ! This is a flight!

D: Fine.Pabsu pa behaves now but later...

He gave a mischievous smirk and S blushed.

R: Tammy, you want sandwich or maggie??

T: I want peace !

R: How does that taste sweet or sour ??

T: 😤😡

R: Anyways, I am going to get a maggie but strictly no sharing! Since you don't want it's ok but just guard my maggie when I nap remember my maggie is akin to Bhalla's throne, crown and sword blah blah blah...

DS who were seated at the back of them overhear their convo.

D: Bangaram, did you hear that ??

S: Maggie it seems bava..

D: Are you thinking what I am thinking ??

She nodded. Both winked and joined their palms in a high-five.
