"Santhosh get ready soon. U r worst than a girl in grooming" Karthik told him.
"Brother, I am going to see my wife for first time and I should impress her in our first meeting itself" Santhosh told styling his hair.
"I should have got idea from you before meeting Ananya. But I got a point. I look more handsome than you that's why she fell in love with me as I didn't do any grooming like you do now" Karthik told him laughing.
"U r not handsome but anni(sister in law) has very bad taste. That's why" Santhosh told.
"Karthikkkkkkk, Santhoshhhhh" their mom yelled from downstairs.
"Yeah mom we r coming" they both yelled in unison.
"Ananya, is everything kept in car?" Vidhya asked her.
"Yeah mom" Ananya replied her.
"Mom, Is this saree ok?" Nithya asked her mother.
"Hoo nithi, u already asked it 5 times. And it looks nice, go call mapillai(son in law)" Vidhya told her and Ananya smiled at her.
Srinivasan and his whole family started towards Samyu's house.
Here, Samyu's house...
"Samyu U better stop crying now or else I have to start your make up from first again" Her friend Praveena asked her.
"Veena I don't want any of this on my face." Samyu told her.
"Samyu we don't want you to live your whole life with this fear. Just give a try." Her friend Catherine told her.
"Yeah Samyu, Cathy is right. all r not like that bastard." Veena told her.
"I am happy in my life. I don't want any others. Please give me an idea to get away from this" Samyu asked them.
When Samyu was waiting for them to give her some idea, her mother knocked the door.
"Oh shit...I think so they came" Samyu hurried to open to tuck her Saree properly.
Cathy opened the door.
"Is Samyu ready? They had come and are talking with uncle. After 10 mins you both bring her down" Samyu's mother told them.
"Ok aunty.. we will" they both said in unison.
"Atleast tell ur friend not to cry in front of them." Her mom told and went down.
"Samyu see because of your stupidity, aunty and uncle are worried. If I see shed any single drop of tear in front of them then I will kill you." They threatened her.
After 10 mins, "Samyu" has been yelled by her father.
"Just be calm and hear what they speak. If u r not comfortable just hold our hands. Ok Samyu" Veena told her.
"Hmm" Samyu mumbled.
"U can do it..Samyu" Cathy told her.
They three stood near her mom.
Samyu's dad and mom was sitting in single couch while Srinivasan and his family was occupying the long couch in the opposite side.
They were sitting in this order Siddharth(Nithya's husband), Nithya, Ananya, Karthik holding his daughter Anjali in lap, Santhosh, Vidhya and Srinivasan.
Samyuktha was looking at her foot while her friends nudged her to greet them.
All of them were looking at Samyu eagerly.. But she didn't even lifter her face for an inch.
"Santhosh all of your grooming work is useless I think so" Karthik whispered to him.
"Why" Santhosh frowned.
"I think so her foot is the groom. "
After so many nudging she greeted them and she moved towards his parents and got blessings as it was taught by her mother yesterday.
"Samyu feels shy.. that's why she hesitates to speak. " Her mom told everyone as they all showed a weird expression.
"Santhosh you introduce yourself and get blessings from aunty and uncle" Srinivasan told.
Santhosh stood up and walked towards her parents. They both blessed him.
"Uncle I did MBA in hr management and I work as hr department head in dad's company to gain more experience about business. "
He went back and sat down.
"Santhosh we told you to introduce yourself to Samyu. Not to uncle" karthik mocked him.
"U both go and talk in her room sometime" Samyu's dad told and Santhosh nodded.
Still now Samyu has not even looked at Santhosh. She held her friend's hand tight.
"Samyu go. Just tell your name and qualification. Go dear" Her friends whispered in her ears.
Samyu climbed the stairs with so much disgust while Santhosh followed her with more excitement.
