The whole Hall was filled with tension. His parents didn't know how to react, soon Rithu's parents were there too. They glared at both of them, while these two didn't dare to raise their heads. They were looking everywhere except their parents.

"So, when were you planning to tell us this?Hadn't we asked Rithu to marry this wouldn't have come out. Would it? ", Rithu's father asked and she shivered.

" Uncle, actually we were planning to tell you about it as soon as Rithu's placements were done but we didn't expect this to come out in this way", Aravind replied.

"Oh then what would you do? Make us all sit and inform us? ", it was his mother this time.

" Athai! Please try to understand. We didn't really mean to hide it. It all just happened in a flow", Rithu spoke up.

Everyone was serious, so were Rithu and Aravind.

"So what do you want us to do now? Are you ready to get married whenever we tell you? ", his father asked and both of them lifted their heads in jet speed. There was a glint of happiness in their eyes.

"That means do you accept our relationship Dad? ", Aravind asked.

" Do we have any other option? ", his mom asked with sarcasm visible in her tone.

"Rithu, we saw a match for you actually! He liked you so much now you should tell him about it. I don't know", her aunt said and she nodded.

" Don't you want to know who it is? ", she asked.

" I wish to, but if you give me permission to at least look at his photo or give me his phone number I will talk with him", she said.

"I have sent it to your mobile, check it", she said and Rithu opened her WhatsApp. She was shit scared actually, she did not want another drama episode in her life yet again, when one is going on. She opened the photo and was shocked 😱.

" Athai, I think you sent me the wrong picture. Just check it once", she said worriedly.

"That's correct picture only, now you need to tell him about this, I can't convince him", she said and Rithu ran and hugged her tightly.

Aravind didn't understand what was happening. He was totally clueless. When Rithu was about to break the hug, her aunt whispered her to show her acting skills to Aravind and she smiled broadly.

" Athai! It's ok. I will marry this person. I fell for him at first sight. I am sorry bava, but I really did like him", she said a great dialogue while maintaining her expressions.

"Rithu ma, what are you talking? Is this you? Who is that person who hypnotized you? Why are you speaking like this? Are you giving up on us already? Will you be happy with him? ", he asked her too many questions. He was about to break down at the next second.

" Yes bava! I am talking the truth. I fell for him at first sight. I can be happy with him all my life. He loves me too. What more can I ask for? ",she said hiding her smile.

"What? How do you know that he loves you? You haven't met him yet? Wait wait, first show me his picture", he asked her noticing all the grins of their family's members place.

"No no, you will be jealous I won't show you. I don't want you to be sad especially you are broken now", Rithu was blabbering and he grabbed her phone from her hand and was surprised plus shocked to find his photo there.

"Amma, are you freaking serious? Did you think of getting both of us married? ", he asked her and she nodded.

He went and hugged her tight,

" You know what amma? This is the best ever surprise you have given me and I will be grateful for this all my life long", he said and she patted his shoulders and gave him a pleasant smile.

Rithu's brother came and congratulated him.

"I never expected you will marry this crazy girl. Beware she can do many crazy things and make you go mad as well. All the best", he said and Rithu glared at her brother.

" Have you ever praised me once in your life time? Have you ever done that? ", Rithu asked glaring at him.

"I won't ever do such bad thing, I can assure you that", he said and fake smiled at her while she pulled his hair and hid behind Aravind.

" What? Do you think I can't catch you if you hide behind him? You know that I hate it when someone pulls my hair", her brother was trying to reaching her while she was hiding behind Aravind.

"Bro, leave her! It's happy time now don't fight", Aravind said and he nodded.

Everyone in the family were happy. They all decided to call the pandit the next day and decide the engagement date. The fact that they would be engaged would make them Bond even more was the decision of the elders, though they decided to hold the wedding once both of them were settled down and ready to take that step in their lives.

They went back to their homes after having a great dinner together. It was family meal time.

"Amma, I will come back in a while. I am going to terrace to talk to Nikki, Divya and Khushi", she said to her mom and rushed to the terrace.

Aravind was already waiting there, she called him there while they were having dinner, she wanted to surprise the three of them.

"Ready? ", she asked him.

" Yep! I am", he said and she dialled the three of them a video call. And there she presents her acting skills once again.

"Rithu, how was it?", Nikki asked.

" Did they accept your love? ", Divya asked.

" Did they scold you or something? ", it was Khushi.

" Guys actually, I liked one more person whom my aunt selected", she blurted out sadly.

"What the hell?", it was Nikki.

" It's not time to prank, tell us before we lose it", Divya replied.

"Just look at your faces oh my god", she laughed like a mad person.

Aravind took phone from her and told them all as in what happened, a sigh of relief 😌.
