Chapter 5

"Krishna?!" Both yelled in shock

"Ha Krishnaye! Deyyam kanipichinatlu gattla arustundruenti?!" Said Krishna, raising his brows.

("Ha I am Krishna! What happened to you both?! You guys were screaming as if I was a ghost!" Said Krishna, raising his brows.)

"Em chepamantavura anta Jaggu valle vadanna second showki tesukukelindi adikuda horror cinemaki podunna effects saripodannatu!" Replied Varun, still terrified by the events of the day.

("What can I say, Jaggu forced me to watch a horror movie as if morning's horror effects weren't enough!" Replied Varun, still terrified by the events of the day)

"Ayina appatinudi nane antavvemi? Vasanta Mandiram hospital ayinappudu ela pani chestav?! Daniki edi training anuko saripotundi!" Suggested Jaggu.

("Why are you nagging me, Varun? How will you work when Vasanta Mandiram turns out to be a hospital?! Think of this as a training session!" Suggested Jaggu.)

"Ha edi emaina kabaddi competitiona? Training annukunedaniki!" Exclaimed Varun.

("Is it a Kabaddi competition to think of it as training?!" Exclaimed Varun.)

"Kabaddi kakapote deyyamtho operation anuko. Andarini save cheyyadamkadu ninu nuvvu ne bhayala nunchi kapaduko chalu" said Jaggu storming off to her room.

("If not Kabaddi, think of it as an operation with the ghost. Learn to face your fears Varun that's more than enough" said Jaggu storming off to her room.)

"Anta nivallane ra!" Varun blamed Krishna on his way to his room.

("It's all because of you Krishna!" Varun blamed Krishna on his way to his room)

"Edi bagundi meru iddaru kotladukonni madhyalo nannantara!" Stated Krishna.

("That's great! You two had fought like kids and now you're blaming me?!" Stated Krishna. )

Well it's a new day with new chaos. It's been a routine for everyone to gather around the parapet and sketch new ideas for the mission 'Krishna's wedding'.

"Enti inka tagaleda na meda kopam?" Asked Varun

("Are you still mad at me Jaggu?" Asked Varun )

"Emchesta tirchukunedaniki kabaddi match ledukada" muttered Jaggu.

("What can I do? There is no kabaddi match to vent my anger on the ground" muttered Jaggu)

"Jaggu..."

"Jagguuuu....."

"Eh! Apandi mi gola! Mundu idea unte cheppandi. Tirikaga malla godava paddandi!" Yelled Balraju.

("Eh! Stop your nonsense! First come up with an idea then fight as long as you two want!" Yelled Balraju.)

"Naku teliyadu. Naku akaliestundi! Mi tippalevo mere paddandi" said Jaggu and left to eat something with Apsara.

("I don't know. I'm hungry! You guys carry on without me" said Jaggu and left to eat something with Apsara.)

"Jaggu! Jaggu!" Varun called after her, poor him he really did get on her nerves.

"Varun bhaiya aagu, ekadiki?" Asked Balraju.

("Varun bro stop! Where are you going?" Asked Balraju.)

"Adi...Jaggu..." he mumbled.

("That...Jaggu..." he mumbled.)

"Everything will be alright when she eats. Stop worrying and give me an idea. Meanwhile I'll bring the sunnundallu ( Sunnundallu is Andhra Pradesh's famous laddu made with Urad Dal) to eat," replied Balraju.

Munching the sunnundallu both of them were in deep thought. Just as an oasis in the desert Varun got an idea.

"Balraju! Idea!" Screamed Varun with excitement

"Kompa munchediayite kadu kada?!" He asked, doubtful about it.

("Is it something that's gonna put us in a mess again?!" He asked, doubtful about it.)

"Nope, unlike last time this is gonna work for sure" replied Varun with certainty.

"What is it?" Enquired Balraju

"Love letter!" Said Varun on cloud nine explaining his plan

"Ready?!" Balraju asked Ranga.

"Ayyagarandi naku artham kanidi meru ey plan vesina adi enti... ah experimentu! Laga nanne vellamataru?!" Said Ranga with exhaustion.

("Sir, I don't really understand why you'll always...What is that word? Ah experiment! Experiment your plans on me?!" Said Ranga with exhaustion.)

"Neku answerlu kavala bonus kavala?" Balraju asked him sternly.

("Do you want the answer or the bonus?" Balraju asked him sternly.)

"Bonus sir!" He replied and went to execute the plan.

"Pettesanandi! Enka vallu chusukovadame alasyam!" Ranga said excitedly.

("I've done it! All we've to do is to see their reaction!" Ranga said excitedly.)

"Edaina work out avutunda?" Asked Jaggu without any hopes.

("At least will this work?" Asked Jaggu without any hopes.)

"Jaggu, I'm sure this will work! Just wait and see!" Replied Varun to which she turned her head not facing him.

"Jagguuu!" He groaned in despair.

"Look there!" Shouted Apsara pointing towards a group of children playing with paper boats made with one of the letters.

"Edikuda fail!" Stated Jaggu in frustration.

("Even this failed!" Stated Jaggu in frustration.)

"Agandi inka inkoka letter undiga!" Balraju reminded them.

("Come on! There's still another letter!" Balraju reminded them.)

"Ekada? Rangi chetilo unde adekada?" Asked Ranga

("Oh the one in Rangi's hand! That one right?" Asked Ranga)

By the time any of them could react, Bamma took it and used it to throw the waste.

"What should we do now?" Varun asked everyone.

"Asalu manam ei thokalo planlu vestunam kani vallanieddarini matladanichinama?" Voiced Jaggu

("First of all we were all busy planning useless things but did we give them time to talk?" Voiced Jaggu)

"Ayita enti? Eppudu valleddaru matladukunela cheyyali antena?!" Asked Varun

("So? We should make them talk to each other right?!" Asked Varun)

"Niku diagram gise explain cheyyala?" Jaggu asked him sarcastically.

("Should I draw a diagram and explain it to you?" Jaggu asked him sarcastically.)

Varun and Balraju went to call Krishna while Jaggu and Apsara persuaded Sarayu to tag along with them.

"Rey Anakondaa!" Balraju called him.

"What Bali?" Krishna asked him.

"Ala bayitaki veldham vastava?" He asked Krishna.

("We are going out, wanna join us?" He asked Krishna.)

"Nope, it's cool here. Why do you want to go out in the sun when you can peacefully rest inside?!" Krishna replied.

"Sare ayite malai puri tinedaniki vastavemo annukuna. Esari nenu Balraju tho kanistale" stated Varun

("Fine then. I thought of having malai puri with you, this time I'll have it with Balraju then" stated Varun)

"Ey nenu eppudu rannananu? Pada veldham!" Replied Krishna

("Hey when did I decline? Come on, what are you two waiting for? Let's go!" Replied Krishna)

All of them strolled in the Amalapuram's heat and reached the temple. After taking the blessings of the almighty they were on their way back and it was time to execute their plan. They were walking past the fields; Varun, Jaggu, Balaraju and Apsara walked fast ahead and hid themselves behind a tractor while Krishna and Sarayu stuck in the middle of a narrow road not knowing the way back.

"Sarayu, do you know the way?" He asked her

"If I had known,why would I be here with you?" She replied with a stern look on her face.

"Hey! What did I do? You didn't even talk with me until now!" He complained.

"Me?! Do you think I came here just because of the hospital? Obviously not! After that chaos and cancellation of the wedding I went to the U.S when I came back I couldn't reach you nor your phone number. When I enquired Mr. Ramesh he said that you took leave for your marriage. Do you even have an idea about how I felt? So all those words just mean mere words to you Krishna?" She asked, her eyes reflecting what she had been through.

"Sarayu...I...I didn't know that you still cared about me. I tried contacting you many times but it was always a dead end. I'm sorry for all the chaos and trouble I had caused. I just came here because they forced me for the alliances. So...do you... still want to marry me?" He asked her sincerely.

"Not until you give me a hug" she replied.

He chuckled and gave her a hug.

"Sarayu, don't mind me but why do you want to marry me?" He asked her.

"Cause you look like a teddy bear!" She replied without even thinking.

Meanwhile the gang was trying their best to not sleep as they were out of earshot.

"Jaggu get up! They are leaving!" Varun woke her up.

"Ah?" She muttered.

After getting up they were on their way back. They all felt relieved to know that Krishna and Sarayu got back on track. Now the only thing left to do was to break the news to the family. As per their tradition everyone again gathered near the parapet wall. Jaggu and Krishna were eating mango jelly, Apsara was silently observing, Balaraju sat on the wall with a wet towel on his head, Ranga with cooling glasses on was listening to the radio while Varun was scratching his head not knowing what to do.

The Kabali title song was playing on the radio. From a distance bamma entered the scene as the main role, snatched the cooling glass from Ranga and donned it in style. She ordered and assigned everyone their respective works to which they all ignored.

"Arey bamma eppude relax avutunnam" said Krishna

("Come on bamma! We are relaxing here" said Krishna)

"Pelli ante relaxing antavme Krishna? Paina batta kinda potta eppudu kaka pothe inkeppudu chesukuntav? Naku Ranga cheppadu nuvvu Sarayu istapaddarani mari velli panulu choodandi!" She commanded them.

("I'm talking about your wedding and here you're relaxing Krishna? First of all your head is becoming bald and you're putting on weight. When will you marry? After 80? When you're completely bald and old? Ranga told me that you and Sarayu like each other. So start working everyone! Start the arrangements!" She commanded them.)

"What if we don't?" Balraju asked her

"Ah na koduki cheputa!" She replied.

("Ah...I'll tell my son about it!" She replied.)

"Nanaki emmani cheputav?" Jaggu asked her.

("What will you tell dad about?" Jaggu asked her.)

"That?! About horror house and the father-in-law" she replied

"Hor-horror house enti bamma?" Varun shuttered.

("What is this hor-horror house bamma?" Varun shuttered.)

"Ask your father-in-law about it. Guruvayya!!! Guruvayya!!!" She called her son.

"Adento nuvve cheppachuga bamma!" Stated Jaggu

("Why don't you tell us about it bamma!" Stated Jaggu)

"Oh, it's just about Vasanta Mandiram" she replied

"Va-vasanta Mandiram?" Everyone asked her, surprised.

Much to their shock, Guruvayya responded.

"Enti Amma idi?!" Guruvayya asked his mother angrily.

("What have you done Ma?!" Guruvayya asked his mother angrily.)
