CHAPTER-18

KETU

~~~~

Me and yash, We are a week or seven days old married couple now, weekend have came. This week went well better than I expected a week before. Sesh, jai, deepu, papa, Nadan went to chennai the next morning after,the get together night that is on Tuesday, to take care of their works. Yash stayed back here.

Yash has got a great job this week, to wake me up and he takes me to the college and brings me back. And he become friends with him too. And now, most of the college know I am married to him, but only few know, I am married to mr. Yashwant ram adzi. Mostly everybody in the campus have wished us happy married life. when I went he used to get busy with the laptop in his front to manage his business work. And we used to go to go walking around the campus in the evening. And I showed him the town and the school, I went.

We are having a fest in all meals this weekend. We are called as a newly married guest from many of my relatives and family friends. So we go to have every lunch and dinner to different house.

I informed my school friends, they all laughed first and said me to stop the joke, then when learned I am serious they got angry, that I didn't invited them to marriage. And they accepted to come to the reception.

My brother, my parents are busy in arranging the reception. They said everything is a surprise to me. They are doing everything in secret, they know I love and enjoy surprises. But unlike me yash hate surprises it seems. Whenever they say it's surprise, he will sigh but, say oh as if like he like secret surprises too. And varun is also goining back to states this Sunday. So, busy in packing.

Now Varun, yash, me are riding to chennai. Yash is driving and varun is in the passenger door and I am at the back seat half sleepy and half awake. See it's half past five. No doubt yash is a rooster. My nickname to him, don't say to him. He is driving steadily in this early hours. While me and varun are half sleeping.. We both are trying to not sleep to give company to yash from not sleeping.. But I think I can't withstand any longer. Because my eyelids are heavy .

Yash-" ketu.. I think you have to sleep."

Me-"no..need"

Varun-" don't lie... You were trying to open your eyes but, you are miserably failing in it"

Me-" no.. I am awake as owl"

Varun-" yes, it sleeps now in the morning right?"

Yash-"yes... I agree with you man.."

Me-" you too yash?"

Yash-" sry... But, you two sleep before.. You too become pschy patients." I really don't have strength to fight. As sleep is inviting me to take the offer and what he is saying is also true.

Me-" fine with me... Good night.. Wake me when we reach chennai." And I slept didn't hear to what varun is going to say or do. Slept peacefully.

Both of them woke me up after entering the chennai. They said me it will take from about half an hour to one hour to reach home.

I am just viewing the outside. Yash said me we were going to his athai and mama's house this weekend. And I got tensed up when he said that. I don't know why? But I am feeling uncomfortable with those people. And that too with going to nikkitha house is more uncomfortable feeling. He said to adjust to with them. And I don't know it was like saying me to control my unnecessary behaviour. I simply nodded to him. But in all reality, I felt ashamed that maybe he is thinking I am an idiot to show attitude to them. Maybe it is half true. As I am only showing some hate ness to them. Act properly ketu , don't bring bad names to anyone.

Yash-" are you okay ketu."

Me-"hmmm. I am okay?"

Yash-" you look tensed up?" He stopped his car at signal

Me-"no.. I am fine yash"

Yash-"you sure." Asked Turning towards me with a eyes that needs true answer and showing caring. I nodded. But he turned with he will try to believe face. Really I am that tensed god need to relax. Tune to something else. And I started listening to music pulling the earbuds from varun. And connecting the phone to the car system.

We reached the our home by 9.30a.m. It took us four hours thrity minutes of travel from my mother house to my in law house without traffic.

We entered inside the gateway. And papa,sesh , Gopi Anna was standing outside the home. We we reached A maid came and took arthi.

Papa-" welcome back ketu. Welcome varun." We all went and took his blessing

Sesh-" welcome bhabi and varun" me and varun smiled and hugged him.

Gopi-" welcome back ketu and varun" me and varun smiled at him and varun hugged him. And yash coughed and caught our attention.

Yash-" I am also here everybody.."

Sesh-" you are not that special to waste our welcome"me and varun laughed at him.

Yash-" really?"

Sesh-" you are no fun person. Always be interested in business. So why to welcome you?"

Yash-" I am your brother. And am I not fun to be with?"

Gopi-"yash you were really boring persons now a days. Always work.. Work..."

Yash-" what me?" Yash was really offended I think...

Me-" guys stop.. "

Papa-" welcome yash beta... No need to cry... It is fun when someone is expecting for welcome words nowadays. While he never given damn about these thing a while back."

Sesh-"I won the bet... Dad and Gopi Anna give my money..."

Yash-" what betting on me...?" Dad and Gopi Anna took thousand rupees note each and handed in sesh hand. Me and varun are laughing

Sesh-" thanks bro.. I welcome you back too..." Yash started to attack him and sesh ran away.. And yash is ran following him... Shouting at him.

We entered the house. Varun gave papa the sweets mom and dad asked him to give. And papa gave that to Gopi Anna to keep inside and thanked us. Varun excused him call mom and dad to inform that we reached home safely. Gopi Anna went to make the breakfast table.

Papa-" it was nice to see you back ketu..."

Me-" thanks papa... I am to happy to see you all back.."

Papa-" I should be saying thanks.. After long time I am seeing yash getting interest in needing a welcome notes and running back at sesh to attack him for fun, etc. "

Me-" you should say thanks to god papa... Not me.. " befor I ask why he said after a long time.. Yash, sesh came back both laughing.

Papa-" at last caught him?" I noticed that yash have injury in right elbow joint and sesh in his right leg.

Yash-" hmmm" proudly

Me-"after both fell down?"

Papa-" what?"

Yash-" no, we didn't fall?"

Varun-"guys say the truth!"

Sesh-" we are saying the truth"

Me-" lift your right sleeve yash and your right shorts sesh"

Yash and sesh-" fine, we accept" and everyone of us laughed. Gopi Anna came to the view.

Gopi-" what are they accepting?"

Me-" that they fell down. Anna bring the first aid box." He laughed at them and he went in to bring the box.

And I asked them to wash their wounds with soaps in running water for a minute one or two. They went to the near by bathroom and washed the wounds and came back. And took the seats in the sofa.

They explained that both tried to high jump the bench like they do in their young ages. Since there were no practice in long time. They missed sesh hit in the bench during the jump and yash landing wrongly. We laughed at them.

Me-" can you lift your three fourth sleeve and shorts to show your wounds" and took the cotton and wetted it with betadine and turned towards them and sesh face is priceless to see, more than yash when he saw the betadine wetted cotton in my hands.

Sesh-" I will do it myself bhabi"

Yash-" we clean our wounds by ourselves ketu.." We laughed at them.

Varun-" don't worry guys.. Man up.. Don't cry..." They both send daggers in his way.

Me-" show me the wound soon.. I won't allow you to do yourself. I know how you would give massage their and won't clean it properly."

Sesh-" we won't bhabi.." I frowned at them.

And they showed I cleaned yash wound with betadine first and then sesh. Both squeezed a very little. Though we laughed at them and their reaction. It was a small laceration. No need for any problems.

Me-" yash put short sleeve. Sesh change to shorts or you want to put pants, I will cover the wound with cotton."

Sesh-" no probs.. I change to shorts.. I am not going anywhere today."

Go.. Both of you change your clothes and come down let's eat.. I am hungry come soon. They came back after ten minutes. We went to puja room and prayed and went to dinning table.

We ate the the breakfast and teased yash and sesh. I helped Gopi Anna to take back the foods to kitchen. He got a call.

Gopi-" come ketu. I will show you, some peoples."

Me-" hmm.. Let's see who?"

Gopi-" jaya akka clean the table and kitchen" (she is a maid in charge of the kitchen next to Gopi Anna. Akka is a way used to respect her as she is elder in tamil) she nodded.

Gopi Anna took me to hall. And there were about eight new faces. He greeted them and they greeted him back. When they saw me, they me in front of me in respect. I welcomed them.

Me-" welcome. It nice to meet you all. I don't know, how you are? But I don't want you to bow to me, as you are elder than me" they just looked at me.

Gopi-" I said you guys, right?"

Papa-"guys. This is my daughter in law, yash wife ketu. And you know varun right?" They nodded. And they said congratulation to me and yash to our marriage.

Me-" seriously won't anybody give me intro about the new people." They laughed all laughed at me.

Yash-" these are my friends. we all grown up together.They all trained bodyguards. So, never fight with them unless you want to get hurt."

Me-"I hope you guys won't hurt me..?"

One of them said-" we won't hurt you madam"

I looked at yash, he smiled at me like he understands that I don't like them calling me madam.

Me-" I am ketika. It would be nice you all call me ketu."

They all looked at each other and one of them" madam. Sorry, you were our boss. And it would be a disrespect calling you with name infront of others."

Me-" Gopi Anna, you are good, compared to your friends."

Gopi -" I accepted easily, because there won't be a many moments that I will call you in front of other peoples. But, it's difficult to compromise them to call you ketu. As they will guard many times infront of other business people."

Yash-" all the best ketu. It took a year for me in childhood days itself."

Me-"I could like you all call me ketu. If, you are friends of yash. Or something else you can call me madam."They looked each other.

One among them-" fine ketu. But in some occasion we are bound to call you madam. We request you not to get mad on us."

Me-" fine. " and smiled.

Varun-" even it took an hour for me. To make them call me varun, explaining I am not their boss. Just his friend. You took only a ten minutes. No fair ketu. You broke my record."

Gopi-" guys I won the bet."

Me-" what?"

Gopi-" I bet with the guys, said them that you somehow with your magic. Will make them call you ketu. They said you can't. So I won"

One of them who said we won't hurt you madam-" it's because she used yash friendship. You really have magic making us to accept to call you ketu"

Me-" what is the bet?"

Gopi-" it's a thousand rupees each.. Everyone give me..!!" Everyone gave him. And everyone are laughing. Everyone gave money with a slap in his hand and him hissing and laughing.

Me-" can you all say me your names at least."they laughed.

Mathew-" I am Mathew. I am a personal body guard of yash. I am from the elavin agency." The one that said its disrespect things.

Yash-"what?"

Sesh-"we are better runners"

Me-" says the persons that got injured?"and everyone laughed.

Yash-" we are just not better high jumpers."

Me-" whatever makes you both feel better to sleep." And I laughed and all joined me.

Me-" what's the difference to separate jax and jay.?"

Xavier-"jax is stupid. Jay is idiot" both send daggers to him. And I started laughing.

Me-" I am asking in a way to differentiate them in a distance physically.?"

Jax-" I have scar above my right ear. So. I have long hairstyles to cover it. While he will always will have short hairstyles."

Me-"hmm.. Why didn't I saw you all during marriage or after that. ?"

David-" we were their on marriage day. It's just me, Mathew, veer and Sam left on the night of marriage day and came back day before yesterday. We all wouldn't see you as we were on charge of the security. For the function area."

Me-" oh.. You went for upgrading you professionally something like that right?" They nodded.

Me-"and others?"

Jay-"Mohan is in training, jax and Xavier works to other people. I was assigned with a task"

Me-" oh"

And we spoke for some time, and it was fun to speak with them all. The twins were fun to speak with. And their non-stop pulling each other legs were fun to watch. And learned that their parents also worked for papa. Mathew father and veer father are the papa's bodygaurd. And David and Xavier were brothers and Mathew and Sam were brothers. Veer and Mohan are brothers. David and jax fathers worked for yash mom.

Papa-" yash, ketu.. It's aldready 11a.m. Get ready and start going."

I went and changed from my chudidhar to simple red shaded Kota silk saree with think green border with gold blouse. Left the saree in floating, and also put a centre clip in the hair and left the loose the hair below. Kept a white stone bindi and sindoor in the head. Wearied Matching red kundan earrings. And left with the mangulsurtra and chuda bangles. I came down and saw varun in light shaded red t-shirt with dark bluish black gene.

Me-" do you think, my dress is not good to go to his cousins house?" Asked varun silently only for him to hear.

Varun- smiled at me "looking good" and thumbs up me. I smiled at him.

Yash-" can we start?".

Me-"hmmm.."
