After the exchange of Madhuparkalu, both the families went about getting ready for the Sangeet Party.

"Osei, Parthavi.. Aren't you a bit hard on Raghunandhu?"

Asked Harshita as she was dressing her twins up. Parthavi who was already at the peak of frustration due to many reasons, including Kala who was doing a retro style hair updo, growled.

"Hard? Me? He was the one who took sides of those two monkeys leaving me. Kala.. Please stop pushing so many things into my head."

"Yeah Kala. Her head is heavy as it is."

Ishaani said helping Harshita to dress up the twins.

"Ishu? My head is heavy?"

Parthavi asked turning to the girls.

"Parthavi.. Please stay still. Else it will take more time."

Parthavi immediately turned to Kala making others chuckle.

"I can't tolerate this more than needed. Please make it fast."

Kala also chuckled as she went about with her work.

"What have you planned for Sangeet?"

"I am getting ready in the retro style. Isn't that enough?"

Parthavi asked as she stood up.

"Parthavi... Achu Vanisree la unnavu.. You look like Actress Vanisree."

"Bhoomi.. To make her look so, we must give award to Kala only. Paapam. We go mad just trying to braid her hair. But doing this? Is next to impossible. Kala.. you deserve an award."

Prabhavathy said.

"Acho Prabhavathy garu. This is nothing. Wait for tomorrow."

She said.

"Ammo.. Kala.. What are you planning?"

"If I tell, you will run away and do register marriage costing me. So I am not taking that risk. Bye.."

"Kala, wait. Have dinner and leave."

"Ledu Harshita. I have to go. I have left my son with my neighbour."

"Bring him with you tomorrow."

"Sure."

Saying Kala left.

"Ammailu.. Are you ready?"

Sathya came and asked. But stopped short seeing Parthavi and wolf whistled.

"Ahaaa... Anna choosado.. Anthey.. Flat!"

She said making Parthavi go red. But it changed soon.

"He has Maradalu right? Why will he go flat on me!"

She said and then gave a devilish smile.

"Sathya.. Mee Annaiya ready na?"

"Yen?"

Sathya answered doubtfully for which Parthavi just gave a grin.

"Aha.. She has something up her sleeves."

Ishaani said. But Parthavi was already out on the balcony with her mobile.

"Hello.. Oka help.."

She came with a winning smile and all others had a concerned face.

"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!!"

Vrushanka called from the makeshift stage that was put on the lawn of the Akkayyapalem house.

"I am your Rudranetra here, welcoming you to the Sangeet Party of my Sister Parthavi and my soon to be Bro, Bava Raghunandhu."

"Hello hello Vrusha.. Taking up hosting will not spare you from performing ra."

Said Jagatjanani.

They looked cute together in the retro themed outfit. Vrushanka looked cool in a black Hat, black Close neck T Shirt and Blue check pants And Jagatjanani was in green Polka dotted tops and Bell bottom pants.

"I know Jagya.. That's why I am all ready to perform. How about you?"

"I am ready. So are they.."

She said showing Rathnita and Rajvitha.

"And Don't call me Jagya."

"You too don't call me Vrusha."

All four were on stage.

"Ahem.. It's a bit of an imbalance here.. Three against One."

Vrushanka said.

"Rei Anna.. Its only we who is going to perform. You will be coming later!"

Said Rajvitha.

"But before that.. Performance lo Twist. We have a bowl with chits which say what you have to perform."

Vrushanka called Prasiddhi to take a chit and gave it to the trio. The trio looked at the chit and looked at everyone with a very dim face. Then Rajvitha clicked her fingers and went to the Dj stand which was being managed by Matheysh and Sanjeev. She gave her mobile and a song played.

Chukka Chukka from Rajeswari Kalyanam

https://youtu.be/kx5C6wHWJiE

The song literally made fun of everyone. Prabhavathy's talcum powder habit, Prithvi's cooking instead of Bhoomi, Shantha's second pregnancy and everything and everyone.

The performance went until they went to Alamelu and tried to pull her legs by imitating her singing talent only to have their ears twisted by her. The performance ended as Jagatjanani and Rathnita shrieked as their ears were in the hold of Alamelu while Rajvitha ran from there.

Vrushanka laughed as he came to the middle.

"Nice.. well done. Next.. Let us start from where the girls finished. Navaneetha Mavaiyya and Alamelu atha."

"Rei! Why ra? Why are you pulling us into this?"

"Come on Mavaiyya. Be sport. You are Bhajan specialist kada. So stage is not new to you."

Prabhav picked a chit for him.

"Bhajan duet!!!"

Navaneetha Krishnudu read it aloud in shock of seeing the task.

"Bhajan lo Duet enti ra?"

"Wait. I will add a little spice to it. Make it a remix Bhajan."

Said Shivaprasad earning a big applause from everyone.

"Rei Annayya.. Sangeet lo already twist. Nuvvu mari.."

"Come on ra. You are called Bhajan Samrat in Bejawada kada. Go on!"

Sundaramudu said as he sat in a chair there. After the permission from his father, there was no stop for Krishnudu. He went on the makeshift stage with his Chekkalu and looked at his wife Alamelu Manga.

"I am sorry in advance. Nana, Meeku pratyekanga sorry."

"Abba.. He is going to do something.."

"Radhaaaa..."

He called Alamelu with the name he uses solely as, Alamelu was Sundaramudu's sister's name.

Alamelu facepalmed as she walked to the stage as Krishnudu built up the Ragam and Sanjeev played the notes in his piano app on his mobile.

"Wah.."

Parthavi clapped her hands and Matheysh played the karaoke on Krishnudu's signal.

<Sorry about the quality of the song. The video has subtitles>

Anbumozhi and Bhaswath laughed out loud while Sundaramudu facepalmed this time.

"I had to get him a girl to marry from Coimbatore. So I have to bear his Arava gola!"

He said making everyone laugh. Alamelu ran down from the stage seeing her unstoppable husband's performance.

"Ayya Baboi! Who knew that our Krishnudu Mavaiyya can be sooooo Romantic!"

Jagatjanani said laughing.

"Ah.. haaannn.. Now its time for our family. Come on Bhargava annaiyya and Maahi Vathina."

She called. Dhitvi picked a chit from the bowl for playing without understanding what it was and Bhargava chuckling took the chit from Dhitvi who forwarded it to him.

"Shoban babu na? From which angle do I look like.."

"Maa inti style Icon! So I say, Bangaaram, wonderful choice."

Raghunandu said giving her a flying kiss which she reciprocated giggling.

"Rei.."

But Mahika was all set as she gave signal to Sanjeev and stuck the end of her saree on her hip and gave Bhargava a dash making everyone laugh.

The performance ended with Mahika hiding her red face behind Bhargava who laughed taking his wife in his arms.

Durga clicked her fingers around them removing evil eyes.

"That was a beautiful performance. Vathina, you started so bold and at last yem ayindi?"

"Don't trouble my wife. If she gets back to bold form, no one can bear!"

Bhargava said chuckling making Mahika hide behind Durga.

"Okay okay! Now.. who?"

"Vrusha!"

Parthavi said and pushed her brother to the stage. This time Parthavi herself selected a chit and laughed seeing the task.

"Enti ve?"

Vrushanka asked and took the chit himdself and was like WHAT THE HELL!

"Yei! Jatka Bandi.. Did you do this?"

He asked Jagatjanani who kept a very innocent face.

"What is in it Vrusha?"

She asked and giggled making him glare at her.

"Akka?"

He looked at Parthavi who laughed more.

"Sorry ra Thammudu.. I actually wrote this for Krishnudu Mavaiyya and that remix bhajan for you as a small bird told me that you have joined Ireland Bharatiya Bhajan Mandal. But your fate! My Dear Family.. Vrushanka Rudranetra is going to present us a Burra Katha!"

"Karma!"

He said and thought around and then took the Chekkalu from Navaneetha Krishnudu and pulled Jagatjanani, Rathnitha and Rajvitha to the stage as he moved to Sanjeev.

"Poolarangadu.. ANR!"

He said and Sanjeev chuckled.

"Good choice bro.."

He stood in the center with the girls to his sides and hit the chekkalu making sound.

https://youtu.be/9bI8fXDM3cQ

"Vinara Bharata Veera Sodhara.."

"Thandaannaa.."

The girls said after him making everyone laugh.

"Thandaana.. Oh Rajavandana na...."

They ended their performance with everyone giving them loud applause.

"Rei.. proved that you are my sishyudu!"

Krishnudu said making everyone laugh more. The girls and Vrushanka bowed and moved down.

Jagatjanani threw the mic at Bhoomi who caught it frowning.

"Aha.. Bhoomi.. Your turn."

"Hey.. No no no.. I have to look after Dhitvi."

"I can take care of my granddaughter Bhoomi."

Swarajyam said taking the girl in her arms.

"Pritvi Annaiyya, do the honors please."

Jagatjanani called. Prasiddhi took a chit for them and gave to Vrushanka who chuckled passing it to Pritvi.

"Rei.. What is this?"

"I don't think it will be difficult Annaiyya. Its something you preach all the males right? A birdie told me that you even tried preaching my new Bava."

Bhoomi frowned more.

"Samsara paatam to the to be couple!"

Pritvi said and Bhoomi chuckled.

"Well.. they have got you something that you are good at."

Shaking his head, he signaled Sanjeev.

"Missamma."

"Good choice bro"

Sanjeev said as he played the requested Karaoke.

https://youtu.be/9mZynPFM1Ug

By the end of it the whole family and friends erupted in fits of laughter. Whole time of the performance Raghunandhu kept stealing glances at Parthavi who turned her head to the stage every time he tried to hold her glance which only made him chuckle.

Everyone whistled for Bhoomi and Prithivi as their performance ended with Bhoomi hitting Prithvi for trying to preach Raghunandhu about Women and their twisted thoughts.

"Evandi! This is too much."

"Its the truth."

"Chaalu le!"

They turned to Veera Doraswamy, Prithvi's father and their banter ended.

At that time, the twin girls pushed their parents, Dharmaraju and Gunamba on to the stage.

"Another twist!"

Rathnitha said.

"Spontaneous performance"

Rajvitha said.

"Hey! Hey.."

The elders called but the girls signalled to Sanjeev who chuckling played the song.

https://youtu.be/nIzsMnORfw0

Hearing the song, Raghunandhu held Parthavi's gaze and pleaded her with eyes. Parthavi just turned away cheering his peddamma who sang the lyrics that echoed her thoughts.

The song was like a husband trying to convince an angry wife who was ready to leave him.

"Ika Raananete Raane Raanoye.."

I am not coming back, Forever.

Gunamba sang behaving like an angry wife.

"Mana runamika intenoooo.. Ika Raanante Raaney raanoye.."

Maybe this is our fate. I will not come and I mean it forever.

Dharmaraju tried convincing her.

"Ooohhh... Manasu manasu theerani runame.."

Our being together is our destiny.

But the wife refused.

"Aaaa.. Manasu chedanika ekkadi runamu?"

But with the strife, how do you expect me to stay your wife?

Not able to take anymore, Raghunandhu held out his hand to Parthavi bowing before her making everyone yell in unison.

Parthavi who did not expect this from him, mainly in public stood and moved beside him but refused to hold his hand.

The performance continued with Dharmaraju singing.

"Cheetiki maataki manasulu chedithey.."

For petty issues if we take bitterness to our heart..

He continued as Raghunandhu tried to look at Parthavi who refused folding her arms across her front.

"Ahh.. Haan.. Cheetiki maataki manasulu chedithey.. Ee Kaapuram etule.."

How do you expect to lead a happy life if you keep holding grudges for every small issues.

The husband, Dharmaraju asked and ran around his wife trying to make her see that she is important to him.

"Ee Kaapuram etuley.. Ee kaapuram etuley.."

"Evariki telusunu poooo..."

Who knows.. Let go of me..

The wife, Gunamba said and turned away, which Parthavi mirrored to perfection.

Seeing that its going to take more than this to convince her, taking a sheet off of Prithvi's advice and his peddanana's performance, he joined the stage and continued the song that fit their situation well.

"Thappanta.."

He called to parthavi.

"Ika Thappanta.."

He said bowing down once again.

"Ika thappanta naadey anuko.."

The mistake is all mine.

He sang among everyone's cheer and slapped his cheeks in expression to say that he has realized his mistake.

"Naa meppanta neeve anuko.."

You are my honor, you are my everything.

He said as Parthavi joined him on stage laughing and both the couples danced laughing. The men having convinced their better halves, called for them.

"Naa vayyari Bama raavey.."

Come to me, oh my dear woman..

The performance ended and everyone clapped hard this time.

"Thank you my dear sisters."

Raghunandhu said to Rathnitha and Rajvitha.

"We selected the song!"

Shantha and Rishi said.

"You were not going to dance against your doc's advice. And Bava would not perform alone."

"This was your plan?"

Parthavi asked narrowing her eyes.

"When you could plan to make me wear this ridiculous outfit, why can't I? You know, I cant breath with this thing around mu neck. And Mohan insisted on wearing a round close neck T shirt."

"That thaati chettu! At least it made you uncomfortable as I wished."

"It was Maanas actually. And What a wish for your future husband."

"Urhh.. It was all a plan."

"To reconcile.. With you.."

"That.."

Parthavi just stopped.

"I said Maradalu have their place. But I never denied what place you hold in me."

Raghunandhu whispered making Parthavi go red.

"Don't hide that smile Ammayi. My son has gone a long way to see that today."

Gunamba said and PArthavi just chuckled and hid herself behind Prabhavathy.

"Idi bagundi. These two are still hiding behind their mothers' kongu."

Sundaramudu said making everyone laugh again.

"FRIENDS TIME!"

Tasha said and another song played.

"Mama mama mama aaahhh.."

And the Sangeet ended on a very laughter filled happy note.

"Tomorrow, we have to be up early."

"Hey.. but Maatheysh Annaiyya, didn't the photographer want some candid shots?"

"Yeah.. where is he? Rei Sudesh.."

"No need Matt.. I already got them. These are the best candid I ever got. Even if I asked them to pose, they wouldn't have. But the stage performance.. Made my job easy. You will see when you get the album and soft copy. Now.. Good night. Have to wake up early to shoot tomorrow's events. Bye."

Saying the boy walked to his assigned room with his videographer tagging along.

"Wow.. That gives us time."

Parthavi said.

"For?"

"For me to sleep early. Amma has been waking me up at 4 am every day!"

"Its our marriage.."

"If we could elope.."

"We would miss the fun"

"Huh.. not adventurous at all."

"I have shown you my adventures. If eloping means that to you.. Then no! I prefer to stay alive and live my life with you than getting beaten to death by our family."

"Yeah right. Amma Prabhavathy will turn into Matha Kaali, Chandi.. Chaamundi and will drink my blood like I am Rakthabeejasura"

Raghunandhu chuckled.

"Have some sleep. Tomorrow is our big day."

"Good night Mr. Architect."

"Sleep tight Ms. HR"

And they walked to their rooms towards something they did not expect.
