Chapter 1
The nine hours of the tiring car ride was totally worth it to enjoy the beauty of Konaseema in fornt of their eyes. Freshly irrigated fields emanating earthy fragrance. Amalapuram is a paradise for nature as well as food.
Carrying the luggage Varun, followed Jaggu inside the house. They were welcomed by Bhavani, Varun's mother in law.
"Amma Jaggu idena ravadam? Bagunnara alludugaru? Ayina luggagenianta alludugari cheta moyistunavu emite?! Rey Ranga vachi alludugari chetinudi aaluggageni teesukoni roomlo petara. Enka ikkade unaventira? Vellu!"
("Dear Jaggu, it's been a long time since I have seen you!How are you Varun? Jaggu it's not fair that you're making Varun carry the luggage! Ranga, come here and take the luggage from Varun and keep it in their room. Why are you still here staring at me? Go!")
"Alage ammagaru"
("Yes ma'am")
"Arey merenti enka ikkade unnaru? Asale prayanam chesi alasipoyaru fresh ayyi randi bonchesturugani"
("You guys must be tired from the journey, go and freshen up I'll serve you the lunch")
Following his mother in law's command Varun vanished to freshen up. Sighing, Jaggu went to see her grandma.
"Amma bamma edi?"
("Ma, where is grandma?")
"Inkekkada untundi?! Rangiki nalugu chivatlu peddutu untundi"
("Where else do you think? She would be there somewhere scolding Rangi")
"Bamma! Bamma!"
After searching every corner of the house Jaggu went to the backyard.
"Ekkadunnava? Nee kosam illanta vetukutunannu!"
("Oh! you are here grandma? I've been looking everywhere for you")
"Jaggu! Where is Varun?"
"I've come all the way from the city to see you and you're asking me where is Varun?"
"Ah.... it's nothing like what you think Jaggu. I want to know when Krishna will be here"
"Oh! He said he'll come after he finishing his work, by the way where is Balraju and Apsara?"
"Valla... Krishnagadiki ammayini choodadaniki Balraju mama toh kalisi pakkuriki vellaru. Sayantraniki vachestarle! Nuvvu eli mundu tinnu!"
("They went to see the bride along with Balraju's father in law in the neighbouring village. They should be back by evening. First you go and have your lunch")
With that said, Jaggu silently left to have her lunch to calm down her hunger. By the time she reached the dining hall Varun was already busy enjoying his meal. Taking a seat beside him she smacked his elbow and started to eat. After letting out a yelp he gave Jaggu a stern look to which she simply laughed. Frustrated, he resumed eating. After finishing his meal Varun went to his room in a jiff and fell asleep.
"Varun! Varun! Varun le!"
("Varun! Varun! Varun wake up!")
Even kumbakarna can't beat him in sleeping. Exhausted, Jaggu threw a glass of water on his face.
"Vana! Vanaa?!"
("Rain! Is it raining?!")
He sprang up from the bed and stood up. Seeing his antics Jaggu laughed like a maniac.
"Jagguuu!!! You're dead in my hands today!
He ran after Jaggu. Both of them ran until they decided to catch their breath.
"Entaki ekkada unnam Jaggu?"
("Where are we Jaggu?")
"Oori polameru daggaranukunta"
("I think we are near the outskirts")
Both of them strolled past the fields and were having a great time.
"Varun is it Krishna there?" Jaggu asked him, pointing towards a guy carrying four bags with him.
"Krishna!"
"Hamaya! Araganta nuchi vetukutuna Guruvayyagari illante evurilo evvadu sariga chepade!"
("Thank God! I've been searching for half an hour for your house Jaggu! No one in this village is giving me the address ")
"Krishna! Niku pelliavabotunadira!"
("Krishna! You're getting married!")
"Entora... ayina musaldi na pelli meda paddindientra?!"
("Ah! Why is that old lady back of me to get married?!")
"Sarle pada inteki veldam"
("Fine first cool down... come let's go back home and chat")
Reaching the house Krishna looked out for Balraju.
"Rey Anakondaa!!!!"
"Orey Balrajuuu!!!"
Everyone welcomed Krishna and was talking their heart out in the backyard having mangoes and snacks. Sometimes being with your loved ones and sharing affection is what all one needs to be happy.
"Em bamma,etullunav? Ayina na pelli meda paddavente?!"
("Bamma! How are you? Ah bamma why are you nagging me to get engaged?!")
"I don't know all that Krishna! Not even a single bride wants to get married to you! You need to lose some weight! I don't know how but you're going to diet."
Everyone tried to suppress their laughter pitying the poor fellow.
"Ah! Yes! Balraju, and Varun will accompany you to diet"
"Are we dieting?!" Shouted all three of them at once.
"Have you seen me or Varun? Dieting cheste emiledu endipoyina chapalu avutame!" Replied Balraju.
("Have you seen me or Varun? If we diet we'll become like dried fishes!" Replied Balraju)
"Papam pastule enka miku" teased Jaggu.
("Poor you, it's fasting for you then" teased Jaggu)
Poor him even though he tried hard to convince grandma she didn't change her mind.
