Next morning all were busy with preparations.The reddys will be there for lunch.Prakash was to stay at home and instruct for arrangements to be done in best manner.Karunawas keeping an eye on kitchen for food arrangements.

Ramya sneezed for sixth time in a row.Her nose was red.The fever was gone and she felt much better.it was also part of her habbit.If she gets Varna on her side her health has to improve any case.

Karuna enters the room and kept the new bed sheets on bed.She found Ramya rubbing her already red nose.

K-"Ramya.This girl.I have asked you to take medicine from morning.You still havent.You have to get ready too."

Ramya sneezed before replying.

R-"Aththai.How can I.This medicine.What if.

Varna is allergic to this.Remember I cant have any medicine without letting her know.What if it affects her also and."

K-"Ok ok I get you.Affect her?It will go inside you and have affect on her.Such a drama queen you are becoming.I will go mad with you two.Now come on.Get ready and wear this saree.They will be here.Where is Varna?She isnt seen from morning."

Ramya bit her lips then sulked looking at the saree.

R-"Aththai.Saree?

Why.I can wear normal clothes too."

K-"yeah wear jeans and torn shirt.Then your father will be mad at me.

Wear it.Come on."

Ramya made a cute face and checked the saree.She loves traditional wears.But wearing them is big hassle for her.She looked around.Where is her sister.Only she can rescue her from this mess.

............................................................

At the Reddys place.

Vikram was ready and was calling out for rest of his family members from half an hour.He checked his watch again and again.Lata's husband Satya Prakash was already there.He was a fun loving and jolly person.Who loved to crack jokes.

S-"Anna(brother) I tell you.The ladies of house are busy decking up.As if we are getting him married today itself.May God bless the Shettys' eyes."

Vikram shook his head as Lata came down facing her husband with a smirk.

L-"You are always busy with your lame jokes.Asked you to get your son along with you and you came alone."

S-"Look Anna how she is blaming me.Reyansh isnt a kid now.How can I force him to come when he is too busy with work.Plus Vivaan is not getting married.Just going to meet girl.Let marriage get fix we will call him.Pull him down here."

Lata looked disturbed.Reyansh their only son completed his MBA recently and joined his father in office there.What concerns Lata is Reyansh's introvert nature.He has always been different from Vivaan.Not that she compare but she does worry about him alot.

V-"Lata dont worry.He is doing well there.In his father's absence handling the business.Will join us soon.Now go and call your Akka before time for lunch passes out.What is she busy with?"

Lata smiled at her brother.

L-"Anna.You wont get.Its a big day for a mother.So she is getting her son ready and both having a moment."

Vivaan felt his mother checking him out.Setting his hair and then buttoning up his blazer.As she looked other side he unbuttoned feeling suffocated.He felt like they were going to get him married on same hour.Likewise the preparations have been going from morning.

V-"Mom Iam fine.Please.And I hope you remember what I said.Its for you people I am accompanying you guys there.I am not interested.I mean.If only I like the girl and then I will think about marriage."

Shivani cupped his son's cheeks and then pinched his chin.He made a cute frown.

V-"Mom that hurts.And Please you dont stress yourself.Remember I will choose someone for this house who will not only accept me and be part of my life.This house too and our family.She has to be just like one of us."

Sh-"Undoubtedly.I would want my daughter in law to be a doting wife.And also a daughter to us.So before that I would like to tell you something.Dont be nervous and please dont ask the girl any stupid questions.Vivaan this is not any of your business meetings."

They were climbing down stairs and found other members waiting for them.Lata came to Vivaan and put a dot of black kohl behind his ear.Shivani was busy getting end of her saree right.

Satya wrapped arm around Vivaan's shoulder.

S-"Vivaan looks like your aunt and mother are too determined to fix you up on this alliance.What say?"

V-"you all are after me today.Wish my brother was here."

Vikram reminded them again and finally they left for the Shettys' place.

...............................................................

Ramya was gulping down glasses of water.One after another.Her saree was wet.She had panic attack.Karuna entered her room and found the helpers staring at her.She asked them to leave and hit her own head seeing Ramya on that state.

K-"Ramya what is this.I made you get ready with so much pain.And you are spilling water on all my efforts.What am  going to do with this girl."

Ramya kept the last glass down and when saw helper taking the jug away she requested for one more glass gulping it down.Getting glare from her aunt.

Karuna made her sit in front of the dresser and adjusted her saree.Ramya was biting her nails.Her face showed panic and nervousness.

K-"So much work left.They will be here any moment and your father.Still busy on phone.I had to look over things alone.Varna also disappeared.

See this looks perfect now.Dont move ok.Sit here and I will get you down."

R-"Aththai.I feel sick."

K-"What happened?"

R-"My hands.are cold like ice.So nervous.And this saree.What if I trip and fall down in front of them."

K-"No.Such thing wont happen.We are here.Stop working your brain."

Karuna took breathe of relief and next second found Ramya rushing to the washroom in jet speed.

K-"Drink more water now.These girls.Will never let me be in peace."

.............................................................................

Ramya was walking restlessly in her room from one end to another.Biting her nails.When she heard voice.Knew where it was coming from.A smile covered her face finally she was there.

Varna felt her muscles almost getting sore.She had to climb up from her balcony to her room.If this was not for person who asked her to do so.She would have never agreed to take this pain.

She was panting to catch her breathe.Ramya made her sit on bed after throwing the bed sheet on one corner which helped her to get Varna up.

Ramya snatched the box from her sister's hand and opened it.Relishing the ice cream.Varna took a second and then looked at her twin.She was unbelievably insane.

R-"Mmm you want some?Sorry I cant."

She was having the ice cream in such speed.Varna relaxed her muscles then heard some voices from downstairs.They must have arrived.

From morning she tried to have a word with Karuna.She was too busy then when she was about to manage time Ramya made it impossible for her.

Varna frowned at her sister crossing her arms.Ramya licked the cream from corner of her lips then faked an innocent face.

V-"Why did you have to ask for blueberry ice cream at this time ramya?"

R-"because I was craving for it.But you didnt get cheese flavor.Blueberry cheese?"

She slowed down as her sister badly glared at her.

V-"You have any idea I have to take tour of almost all shops in lane.Couldnt find this stupid flavor of yours."

R-"Sorry.But you know how it is if I dont have this now my tension levels will worsen and then.Oh dont tell Appa or Aththai.They warned everyone not to give me ice cream."

Ramya sneezed twice.Varna followed and rubbed her nose.

V-"Have this.Have whole box and then.Dump it on me."

Varna hated health problems.If she had enough problems then this additional gifts were given by her twin.Her life was already in a mess.Now her concern was something else.

They hear the honks of cars.Ramya was still gobbling ice cream.Varna went to the window.

R-"Oh god they are here."

.........................................................................................

The Reddys were welcome by Prakash and Karuna.They were seated in the big hall room.Shivani and Lata got busy with Karuna.While Prakash kept Satya and Vikram busy in their chats.

Vivaan looked around and found the interiors quite well.Matching his taste.He was wondering if it was Mr Shetty or his snob daughter's choice.talking about her.So he smirked first.Today he is going to make it hard.He couldnt wait to teach her lesson when he encounters her.On second thoughts why did she agree meeting him for marriage.So she had something on mind.

V-"Vivaan.Here Prakash.My son.Remember telling you about him."

Vivaan smiled at Prakash.First thing he did was touch Prakash and Karunaa's feet.This already gave them good impression.

P-"I dont think we need introduction Vikram.Vivaan Reddy already a name in business world.The most eligible tycoon and smart businessman.One word for professionalism.

V-"Uncle please.Let it be.People just stretch things alot.Whatever I am today its because of my Dad and family.So credit goes to him."

P-"I like that.You speak like your father.Years ago I have met him.And I am glad if we could start it again.This reminds me wait.We did strike a deal with your company.Didnt we."

Vivaan remembered about the famous deal and interactions then shifted uncomfortably.How can he forget the deal and meetings.He cleared his throat not being able to answer in full sentence.

V-"Yes Prakash.I was briefed about it.Arjun handles most of work.I barely manage to make it to office.I am glad we are working together on this."

K-"You people can talk about business later.Lunch is ready.Please come."

Shivani nudged Lata who spoke after hesitating.

L-"Lunch.Whats the hurry.I mean.We can talk for a while.What say Akka."

Shivani smiled at her then both exchanged a look.Karuna got the hint.

K-"Can understand.She is getting ready actually nervous from morning.I will get her."

L-"There is nothing to feel nervous around us.Once she will be here we can bet she will be normal.We are waiting to have a look.Akka is also getting impatient."

Satya nudged Vivaan.He just made it point to have his eyes down.Anticipating the moment.How would Arrogant Varna Shetty face him today and importantly his family.He cant let anyone insult or be disrespectful towards them.She will have a time if she dares to.

Vivaan felt thirsty.he took glass from the tray on table and took sips.He was still looking down.

Lata,Shivani,Vikram,Satya and Prakash all had their eyes on stairs.Karuna was there with Ramya.Dressed in a simple white saree looking no less like an angel.She had her eyes lowered and slowly walked to them in the area.

Lata whispered to Shivani.

L-"Akka she is so pretty.perfect match for our Vivaan."

Mr Vivaan Reddy finally looked up and he was lost in the spell that the beauty just cast on him.He couldnt budge to move his eyes from her.She pushed her hairs behind her ear.Playing with her fingers on her lap.Karuna made her sit between Lata and Shivani.Before she took everyones blessings.

Vivaan coughed and gulped down some more water.Ramya felt like forgetting everything and rushing to get glass of water.Her throat was almost giving in.When her eyes fell on the person sitting opposite direction to her.She had her mouth open.Her eyes widened and went back to that night.Where this handsome guy saved her.

Vivaan sensed her gaze on him and then raised his brows.He looked around and then back to her.She was still with that expression.He felt clueless.Why was she behaving like that.

Ramya felt Karuna's eyes at her and then she looked down again.Being typical girl.

Vivaan gave sarcastic thought.Continued examining her from look.

V-"Wow.Trying to be I am the simple girl.Must be in front of family.They dont know.Arrogance and stubborn attitude of hers.What is she busy doing."

L-"So beautiful.Like an angel."

Sh-"yeah.I am impressed.

Would like to know name of this angel too"

V-"angel.Huh devil.First let her open her mouth.The fire would be enough to burn us all down."

K-"Say your name."

Prakash looked at his daughter knowing how nervous she got.Vikram sensed than then asked her in a funny manner.

Vik-"You look nervous Maa.Dont be.We are own people like family.Think about we are here to have casual lunch a get together."

S-"yes.See the two ladies sitting beside you.They are already flattered b your beauty.Which is very rare to expect from them."

Lata and Shivani both glared at Satya as they all joined the laugh.Ramya too smiled.

R-"Ramyaa.Ramya Shetty."

Vivaan choked on water and almost spat out of his mouth.Karuna rubbed his back.

Sh-"Such a beautiful name.Sweet like you."

Shivani cooed Ramya's cheeks which made her blush a little.She was trying catch glimpses of Vivaan.He looked deadly handsome today.She was thinking how her fate managed to bring him here.What if he spills out that days event.Oh no he cant.

Vivaan had enough.This girl and his weird behavior.Today she was lying in clear words about her name and her family no reaction from them.He was about to speak when.

K-"Varnaa.Come here Maa."

All heads turned and Vivaan was on his feet now.He felt his own eyes were deceiving him.A second he took to balance himself.Who was standing in front of him.Joining her hands greeting everyone.Then he shifted his gaze back to the one sitting between his mother and aunt.He checked twice to confirm.His heart felt a shock.

P-"Come here Varna.

She is Varna.My daughter and Ramya's sister."

Prakash's words were not enough to sink to him when another thing jolted him.

K-"Ramya's twin sister.Both are identical twins.

Ramya and Varna."

Vivaan felt his vision getting blurred.All he did at the moment sit back and then stare at the figure approaching them.Varna had her eyes oozing flame.Were enough to kill Vivaan's gaze.
