Let's get back into the story ..........

on same day

Ashok : deii, the stop has come, let's go.( They both got off the bus and walked towards Rahul, who was waiting for them )

At the cafe

Rahul : Hey, why are you coming so late by bike? I’ve been waiting here for an hour.

Ashok : Vishnu’s bike had some problem, so we came by bus.

Rahul : Oh, I see. What’s up with him? Looks like he’s lost in his thoughts.( He pointed at Vishnu )

Ashok : Hey Vishnu, buddy! Hey!( He waved his hand in front of Vishnu’s face )

Rahul : Come on, Vishnu, wake up! ( He shook Vishnu's shoulder )

Vishnu : Huh?! What happened? ( He said as he snapped out of his trance )

Ashok : What’s going on with you? What are you thinking?

Vishnu : Nothing, man. Just zoned out for a second. Let’s go, we’ll talk when we get there.

Rahul : Whatever you say, let’s go.( They all walked into the cafe )

At the temple

Akshu :Hey, I’ll go get the offerings plate for the prayer.( she went and bought a offerings plate )

Hema : Hmm, okay.

Soumya : Let’s go, let’s buy the flowers.

Hema : Akshu, come here, I’ll pin a flower for you.( After pinning the flowers, they went inside the temple few minutes later in the temple )

** Three of them were sitting inside the temple. **
Hema : Soumya, what did you pray for ?

Soumya : What else, that my future husband should know how to cook, and he should spend all his time with me, that's it!( she said being dreamy )

Akshu : Poor guy, he's going to marry you.( she said in a playful tone to tease her )

Hema : Yeah, wherever he is, that poor guy's life is ruined.( she too laughed )

Soumya : Don't exaggerate, don't tease me ok ? Akshu, tell me what you prayed.

Hema : Don’t you know what she would have prayed? she want her akka and mama to be happy together, right? That's the reason.

Akshu : Hehe, how do you know?

Soumya : We know you very well, you just need to say it, and we know what you mean.

Hema : Okay, let's leave now, it's already 6 o'clock.

Akshu - Mm, let's go. ( They left from there to their houses )

At akshu's house time skip to 8 pm

** Akshu entered the house with a smile. Not knowing that her grandma and mom were waiting for her with rage.**

Kavitha : Akshitha where did you go?, today was your week off right ? where did you roam around huh!

Akshu : Ma, I just went to meet my friends. ( She was about to go )

Kavitha's mom : Meeting friends is fine, but from where did you get these flowers on your hairs and coming home home while smiling huh!!?

Akshu MV : Oh god, this grandma, asking such questions is giving me a headache, she is asking like I did some big crime.

Akshu : God, I went to the temple with my friends, and I just brought the flowers, is that enough?( She said and went to her room without listening to them )

Kavitha : Look at her maa, how she's behaving. I don’t even know what’s going on with her.( she said while huffing in rage )

Kavitha's mom : Little by little, she’s becoming so free huh!!, I’ll have to handle her soon. ( She said in a stern tone )

one week later

Akshu's POV

** What’s this da, our life is going so smoothly without any disturbances. Maybe God has some mercy on us this time… Anyway, why do we care, this is good for us. ** ( Her phone rang, she picked it )

Akshu : Yes di, calling me in the morning itself… what’s the matter? Any good news huh!! ? ( She asked in a teasing tone )

Abhi : Started teasing already, huh? Good news and all will come when it has to, don’t act smart.

Akshu : Hehe, tell me what’s the matter.

Abhi : What are you doing now?

Akshu : I’m in the bus, heading to the store.

Abhi : Oh okay, then take leave after the afternoon and come straight home, okay?

Akshu : Why? What’s the matter?

Abhi : Your mama's boss’s son’s reception is today. We’ll go for the reception and leave after it’s over. and you are coming with us.

Akshu : I won’t take leave, you know that. And now you’re telling me this that too at last minute, how’s that possible? ( she asked in disbelief )

Abhi : I don’t care about all that. I don’t know what you’ll tell the manager, just take permission and come. That’s it.

Akshu : Hey! at least Listen to what I’m saying.

Abhi : Sorry my dear ! I have to select a dress for the function, so be at home by 1 PM sharp. Bye di! ( She hung up without listening to her further )

Akshu MV : She hung up… Now how am I supposed to ask for permission? She could’ve at least given me an idea before cutting the call. Never mind, I’ll deal with her later. Let’s go to the store for now.
( She reached the store at 9 and started working )

meanwhile in Vishnu's house

Soundharya : Ennanga, did you tell Vishnu that we are going to Rajesh anna’s daughter’s reception today? ( She asked him while folding clothes )
Suresh : Good that you reminded me, or I would’ve forgotten. Wait, it’s his lunch break now, I’ll call and tell him.

On call

Vishnu : Hello appa, did you eat?
Suresh : I ate, da. Did you eat?
Vishnu : Just now, pa. Tell me, why did you call?
Suresh : Dei, today evening we’re going to my friend’s daughter’s reception. Finish your classes quickly and come home.
Vishnu : Appa, I’m not coming. You all go. ( He said in a sulking tone )
Suresh : Dei, he’s my close friend da. All of us are going, and you’re coming too. I’m telling you now, bye.

Vishnu MV: Ayyo, what do I do now? I was going to fine that girl, but okay fine, let’s go to the function.

meanwhile at store

Akshu's MV : Akshu, you can do it! Come on, go inside. ( She knocked and went into the manager’s cabin )

Manager : Come in, Ms. Akshitha. Tell me.
Akshu : Sir, I need permission now.
Manager : What’s the reason, Akshitha?
Akshu : Sir, my mom called. My grandma slipped and hit her head, and she’s admitted to the hospital. I need to go there, sir.
Manager : Oh, in that case, take your permission. If you need any help, call me. Okay, you can go, Ms. Akshitha.
Akshu : Thank you so much, sir. ( She said and left for her sister’s house )

At Abhi’s house

Akshu : Hey shorty, open the door, di! Oii, open the door, I say! ( She said in an imitating tone while knocking on the door )

Abhi : Wait, di! I’m coming, don’t break the door. ( She said and opened the door )

Akshu : Seriously? It took you this long to open the door? Huh!! ( She asked )

Abhi : I came from the kitchen to open the door, okay! ( She said in an annoyed tone )

Akshu : Ooho! Mama, maams… athan { brother-in-law } Where are you? ( She called him in different ways in a dramatic tone, planning to tease Abhi )

Abhi : Hey, why are you calling him like that, addressing his as ā€œathanā€ and all? Huh! ( She asked, surprised )

Akshu : why! he is my mama I can call him by any name it's my wish I'll call him like tht only hmmp !! ( She said and stuck out her tongue )

Abhi : No! You shouldn’t call him like that!!

Akshu : I will! Hmpp! ( She crossed her arms near her chest. Before Abhi could reply, Vikram entered )

Vikram: Tell me, Akshu. Why did you call me?

Akshu : Where were you, mama? Your wife is giving me new rules and restrictions. Ask her what they are. ( He turned to Abhi, but she was already glaring at him )

Abhi : deii what's happening here huh!! she is calling you athan and you are running to her while pushing me aside huh!! what's the matter? ( She asked while twisting his ear and he hissed )

Akshu : Hey! What’s this, di? You’re treating him like this in front of me. Then what do you do when I’m not around, huh? ( She asked, raising her eyebrows )

Vikram : Well said, Akshu. Honestly, you were wondering who will support me right? see how my cute sister-in-law is defending me and here you are hmmp!!?. ( She twisted his ear harder, and he hissed )

Akshu : I’m here, for you mama. If she troubles you again, just call or message me. I’ll find a better girl and get you married. No idea how you’re managing this lunatic! Let’s go, we’ll look for another girl for you.( She said with a teasing smile while pulling Vikram to her side )

Vikram : I feel like listening to you and sending her away!.( He said in a playful tone )

Abhi : Hey! This is getting out of hand! let me get my broom wait you both!!( She said and started chasing them with a broom in her hand )

Akshu : Mama, she’s gone crazy! Run, she’s going to hit us! ( They both ran around the house while Abhi chased them )

_____After a while

She caught both of them by their ears and asked.

Vikram : Aaa leave di, it hurts!( He said while hissing )

Akshu : Aaaaahhh, it hurts! Let go too, please! ( They both hissed )

Abhi : Oh really? But my dear hubby You said you need a new wife, right? Am I a problem to you, huh?! ( She asked him, raising her eyebrows )

Vikram : Na-na… did I ever say that? No way! I was just messing around with her to tease you, that’s all.( He said with a nervous smile )

Akshu : Yeah right, akka! we were just teasing you, huh? Hehe… Please, my dear akka, let us go! ( She said with a nervous smile )

Abhi : I’ll leave you both only because we need to go to the function! ( She said in fake anger and let go of their ears )

Vikram : trouble.( He mumbled while standing )

Abhi : What did you say? ( She asked, and before she could catch him, he ran into the room. Abhi smiled )

Akshu : What dress are you wearing to the function, di?

Abhi : I’ve already picked it. I told you to get ready and come straight here! Why did you come in your store uniform?

Akshu : Well, I told the manager grandma got admitted to the hospital and came straight here. If I had gone home first and come back, my mom would’ve asked a hundred questions.( She said in a mocking tone )

Abhi : Fine, makes sense. Both of us wear the same size, only the height is different. Just pick something from my wardrobe and wear it.

Akshu : Okay, done. ( They went to get ready )

__ time skip

vikram : What both sisters are they doing inside the room? I just told them to get ready, and it’s already been an hour! goddd! ( He was talking to himself )

Akshu : What, mama? Complaining again? ( She asked with a chuckle )

Abhi : He has no other work other than complaining . All he has to do is wear a pant and shirt, but look at us—how many things do we have to wear!( She said, twisting her lips )

Vikram : Okay, fine, shall we go now? Otherwise, we’ll be late. ( They went to the bus stop and headed to the venue )

At the venue

Abhi : Oii Akshu, you’re looking so pretty! That guys here are checking you out. ( She said and took off evil eyes from her )

Akshu : why di, don’t you have any other work? You’re always talking about guys!( She said, rolling her eyes )

Vikram : Abhi, keep the dhrishti pottu for her properly. This little girl’s got too many admirers!

Akshu : Mama, you too! ( She said with a shy smile )

Abhi : You just keep quiet. He’s right, though. ( She placed the kajal behind her ear and went inside )

Shakthi : Welcome, Mr. Vikram! ( He said and hugged Vikram )

Vikram : Sir, meet my wife, Abhinaya, and my sister-in-law, Akshitha. ( He introduced both of them to him )

Shakthi : Welcome, Mrs. Abhinaya and Akshitha. I’m Shakthi, Vikram’s boss. ( He said with a smile )

Abhi : Hello, sir. ( She greeted him with a smile )

Shakthi : Make sure you all eat before leaving, okay? ( He said and left )

Vikram : Come on, let’s sit there.( They all sat down )

Meanwhile with Vishnu

Suresh : Hey Yuvi, how much longer? Come quickly.

Anu : We ladies got ready so fast, what is he still doing? Hey Yuvi anna, come fast! ( She shouted )

Vishnu : I’m ready, ma. ( He said while coming downstairs )

Yuvi : Ma, how do I look? ( He said while swirling )

Anu : Perfectly ready to graze cows, you have all the necessary qualities for it.( She said with a teasing smile )

Yuvi : What did you say after seeing me?! You drumstick, wait and see what I’ll do to you! ( He was about to chase her )

Anu : Appa, look at him! ( She hugged him with a pout )

Suresh : Hey, stop it! Look how cute my little girl is looking— and you don’t bother her!

ANU'S OUTFIT

VISHNU'S OUTFIT

Soundharya : It’s already getting late! You can continue your fight later. Let’s leave now. ( He glared at her and left for the venue )

_________at the venue in the line

Abhi : Hey Vikram, I’m hungry. Let’s eat first and then we will wish the couples and take photos.

Vikram : Wait, let’s wish them first and then go eat. It’s just a few more minutes until we reach the stage.

Akshu : Yes di we reach the stage soon and then go eat.( Within a few minutes, you three went to the stage, congratulated the couple, and then went to have food, but you were standing there waiting for a seat )

meanwhile with vishnu

Rajesh : Hey Suresh, how are you, da? Finally meeting this friend now!( He hugged and welcomed them )

Suresh : I’m good, da. Nothing like that—just a little busy with work, that’s all.

Rajesh : Mm, okay, okay. How are you, Soundharya? Hey Vishnu, Yuvi, Anu, how are you all?

Soundharya : I’m good, anna.

The trio : We’re good, uncle. ( They said in sync )

Rajesh : Alright, have a seat. I’ll go check on the guests. Make sure you all eat. ( He said and left )

Soundharya : Okay, let’s sit.( They all sat on the chairs )

Vishnu’s POV

Ugh, the only hint to find that girl is the bracelet. I’ve already checked many girls' hands, but none of them had it. Maybe I’ll get lucky and find that bracelet girl at this function. Gotta keep trying.
( He was looking at every girl's hand to see if anyone was wearing the same bracelet )

___time skip

Anu : Amma, let’s go eat.

Suresh : Anu ma, wait for a little while. The crowd has reduced. Let’s wish them, take a photo first and then eat.

Soundharya : Hey, what are you looking around for and thinking about?( She smacked his head and dragged him to the stage for the photo )

__________

Why is Akshu's grandma so strict? Could she have a bigger reason for her behaviour ?

Will Vishnu’s curiosity lead him into something unexpected?

Will Vishnu finally find the bracelet girl at this reception?
