"The reception"

Ajay

Ahwwww Deviiii!!

I clutched my heart seeing the divine beauty infront of me. I leaned on the headboard watching her get ready for the reception. Sreedevi was wearing a pista coloured full sleeve salwar with red stones embedded on it. She put some cream on her face, then applied kajal on her eyes, then placed a kutty bindi on her forehead and applied her lipbalm on her lips. Such a simple makeup but she looked gorgeous.

Gorgeous than those models and actors.

They are not even close to her beauty.

She took the comb and combed her tangled hair carefully. Her hair fell behind smoothly. She partioned her silky hair, and took two ends from either side before clipping it on the middle. She looked herself in the mirror for few seconds before pulling out two strands of her hair to the front. She kept adjusting it to the side of her face.

I don't know why she did that! But she looked cute.

"Ajay?" She looked me through the mirror.

"Enna ma?" I kept my one hand behind my head leaning to the headboard.

"Enna pathut irukinga? Poyi ready aagunga.. Time aayiduch"

"Hmmm" I hummed.

"Enna hmm? Elunthiringa" she said combing her already combed hair.

I stood up from the bed and limped towards her. My knees are better but my elbow is still hurting. One or the other way this accident has helped me to reconcile with her. I had no idea how to convince her but now I am so relieved.

I stood behind her looking her through the mirror. Her lavender fragrance slid through my nose tormenting my senses. She raised her eyebrows asking what. I kept my palms on her shoulders smiling at her.

"Madam?"

She kept the comb down and turned around to face me. She cupped my cheeks and pulled me down checking the wound on my temple. I kept my hands on either side of her in the table, and kept staring her face which had a frown. She pushed my face a little and only then she realised she was trapped between me and the table.

"Ajay?"

"Ajay thaan" I shrugged.

"Th.. Thallunga.. Naa ponum" she refuses to meet my eyes.

"Enga?" I bit my lower lip hiding my blush.

She keeps looking down, not only my eyes, she doesn't even glance my shirtless form. I was shy initiallly to be shirtless around her because I have never been shirtless around people. Especially around girls. It tingled every single cell in my body when she touched my bare shoulder.

I should probably get used to these!

And so I am being shirtless for all these hours and still have the audacity to be in such a close proximity with her, without a shirt on my body. I am kind of insecured of myself. I don't go for gym, I don't have six packs. I got some chest hairs and a stupid mole. And my biceps are not of a big deal.

Sreedevi has her head turned to her left, looking down. When she is refusing to even look at my body. I am feeling more insecured.

But the redness in her cheeks says a different story.

"Madam?? Physics madam?" I tried to get her attention.

Her eyeballs rolled towards my direction and her lips twitched in a blushy smile. How badly I wanna kiss that red cheek of hers!! I sighed releasing a huge breath.

"Mch Ajay.. Poyi kelambunga ponga time aachu" she said whining turning her head to face me.

"Maa 5 mani thane ma aaguthu ethuk ivlo seekrom pora?" I asked admiring every single features on her face.

She didn't say anything but locked her gaze with mine. We just kept staring each other with a smile on our faces.

"Enna?" She asked

I shrugged a nothing, biting my lower lip. Her eyes dropped down to my lips for a nano second and then looked back at my eyes. We started giggling and then burst into laughter. I don't know why but we laughed. She hit my shoulders harshly and I winced also laughing.

"Valikuthu maaa" I said laughing.

"Poi sollathinga" she screwed my ear "Valikuthu nu sollit sirippinga.. Apo poi thane?" She left my ear and I chuckled.

"Maa unnoda kai paaka kutty ah irukalam.. Ana athaala adicha nejama valikuthu maa"

"Poi poi poi" She crossed her arms against her chest.

"Unmai unmai unmai" I hit her forehead with mine.

"Illa illa illa" she shook her head.

"Ama ama ama" I nodded my head.

"Mch ponga ajay" she whined with a blush placing her hands against my chest to push me away but I didn't move.

"Valikuthu nu solren... Poga solra..? Patient ah ipdi thaa treat pannuvingala madam?"

"Yaaru patient?"

"Naan tha.. Pathiya kaila thalaila la ellam kattu"

"Athu kozhuppu" she said pushing my cheek.

"Unga Rakesh anna dha thalli vutan.." I pouted.

"Avuruk iruku naa Gopika akka kitta solren.." She said.

I grinned and kept staring her.

"Enna Ajay?? Ungaluk ennamo aachu ponga"

I chuckled and said "Kammal azhaga iruku ma"

"Kammal mattum thaana?" She asked with an annoyed pout.

"Kammal potrukura aal thaan romba azhagu...Athaan kammal um azhaga irukku pola" I tried flirting.

"Aiiii ajayyyy" she rolled her eyes blushing hard.

I laughed out loud while she smacked my arms. She hit her head on my shoulder in shy. I wrapped my one hand around her waist. She gasped and looked up at me.

"Cutie pie dii nee" I pinched her cheek.

She pushed my hands away pouting at me. I hit my forehead on hers and moved back removing my hold. She blushed. It was cute to see her blushing. No one could get such a cute wife for them. She might seem to be a matured, rude and reserved woman for others. But she is the cutest in my eyes and this version of hers is exclusively for me.

"Seekro ready aagit vaanga" she rushed outside the bedroom.

I shook my head and got ready in a mustard coloured turtle neck Tshirt along with black jacket. I quickly styled my hair with my other hand and went out limping slightly. I looked down from upstairs. Shobha aunty and Sreedevi were sitting on the couch ready for the reception.

"Devi??" I called out for her.

"Haan" she looked up from her phone.

"Kootit po maa" I said.

"Haa dho varen" she rushed upstairs towards me.

I put my hand around her shoulder and descended the stairs with her support.

"Polama jay?" Shobha aunty asked.

"Uncle enga aunty?"

"Avuru apove poyitaru"

"Vinay enga ma?" I asked Devi.

"Avan anga thaa kedakuraan" she said and three of us moved to Geetha's house where the reception was held.

Rakesh was sitting by a round table and Gopika, seven months pregnant was chiding him for God knows why. Maybe because of the accident. I waved at him, he pouted eyeing his wife. Seeing Devi with me, Gopika rushed towards us and caught Devi's hands. They exchanged words but I was searching for my mom, who told me she would come with my dad. Suddenly somebody closed my eyes from behind.

I caught those hands and removed it. Tilting my head back, I found my ever favorite Maha smiling at me.

"Eii kelavii" I side hugged her.

"Enna da thambi epdi irukka" she patted my chest.

"Ithuvaraiku nalla irunthen" I said rubbing my chest.

"Heyy Deviii" She pinched devi's cheeks "Epdi irukka?"

"Nalla iruken ka.. Neenga?" She smiled.

"Nalla iruken da kanna..Enna en thambi nalla pathukarana unna?" She patted my shoulders "Illa na sollu potrulam.. Onum prechana illa"

"Illa ka nalla pathukuraru" Devi said with a laugh.

"Ajay neyy..." Garki came in between with Maya and Krithi.

The ladies got into their talks but Devi and I were staring each other with a blush.

"Ajay anneyy" Garki scratched my arms "apro sight adinga.. Ipo naa solratha kelu"

"Pahh Garki.. Enna di dress ipdi jolikuthu?" I blinked my eyes at her long dress with full of stones.

She grinned "Seri Dev uncle um Kavi aunty um ulla irukaanga atha solla thaa vanthen" she said and ran to the entrance screaming at someone over there.

Devi was nowhere to be seen. I wandered my eyes around and saw her sitting on a round table with Maya, Gopika, Krithi and Maha around her. She was smiling and nodding at them.

I pulled Devi with me and went to the right side of the large lawn, where stage for the bride and couches for guests to sit were put. My parents were seated on the front couch. We greeted them and sat beside them. My mom kept talking to devi caressing her hair and cheeks while dad was having conversation with me about my company.

The reception party went smoothly while I sat on a chair the whole time. Devi was with Maha all the time. She is Geetha's cousin but she has always been a sister figure to me, we had a Tom and Jerry bond. Pragan and Sarath asked me to have a drink teasing me. I passed a dead glare and they laughed.

Later, everyone started leaving. Mom and Dad went back home, because the auditorium where the wedding is held is near to my home. They asked me to come home tomorrow and left. One by one everyone started leaving.

I badly wanted to be with Devi but these three idiots made me busy keeping me always with them. They came up with an idea of Nightstay and my eyes widened in horror.

"Eii athellam onum venda" I said opposing.

They looked each other with a teasing smile.

"Enna macha... Innaik etho bayangarama plan panirpa pola.. Devi vera kovama iruntha.. Innaik thaa samadhaanam padithirka" Rakesh said with a teasing smile and I sighed.

"Partner athellam naalaik vechuko partner" Sarath said with a whine.

"Ama maapla.. Unak epo venalum athellam panallam.. Ana epo venalum namma ellam night stay panna mudiyuma?" Pragan said.

"Dei athilla da.." How will I explain them that we are married couple from outside but just teenagers who are falling for each other from inside?

"Maapla namma ellam night stay panrom.. Pontati ellam veetuk anupalam.. Devi kitta naa pesren" Pragan said and the three of them moved to Devi.

I yelled behind them but they were gone. I followed them. They were already before Devi who was sitting by the round table.

"Devi please da" Sarath said.

I waved my hands from behind shaking my head.

"Ithula enna na iruk-" she paused her words looking at me actioning her.

Three of them turned their heads to me, I dropped my hands down and stood straight.

"Devi... Naanga avana kudikka vaika matom.. Ithu en pontati mela promise" Pragan pulled maya and kept his hands on her head.

"Yov en mela ethuk ya sathyam panra?" She chided him.

"Seringa anna.. Aana avura kudikka vudathinga" Devi said and I sighed.

The three of them started jumping. Devi looked at me. I pouted at her.

"Ennachu?" She mouthed.

"Podi" I mouthed with a pout.

She chuckled and later everyone left including Devi. I was left with these three idiots. She waved me a bye but I was pouting at her. They dragged me to the first floor of Geetha's house where we play video games. They started discussing on what game to play but I was just sitting there sulking.

Please let me go with my Devi..
