The shrine of Guruvayur was shining brightly and the celebrated couple were walking intertwining their hands with each other and looked at each other with unconditional love. Aryan was looking at the nuptial thread around her neck with happiness and a sense of pride erupting in him while Sitara increased the hold in his hand unable to control her overwhelming happiness. They were just married and walking towards the shrine leaving all the devotees who could recognise Sitara in shock and surprise and left in a special path. She touched the nuptial chain around her and could still not process the fact that she is not his girlfriend but his wife. 

Aryan was sensing her state and bent towards her whispering " enda priyapatta baarya sathyaaytu nammlku kalyanam kazhinju "( my beloved wife we are married for real )

Sitara looked at him with shock and asked " malayalam ? ivlo nalla eppo kathukiteenga ?"

Aryan looked at her with smile and said"kathukuten avlo dhaa " while Vikranth looked at him with death glare as he was the one who was suffering all this month to teach him malayalam . Aryan have disturbed so many romantic moments of him and charu to which Charu was not even letting him near her for past one week forgetting the fact that the sole problem was her very own brother.

Aryan turned towards Vikranth with a sheepish smile while he gave him a death stare which made Aryan gulp and turn to the other side. Vikranth cursed him in his mind and walked along with the family members. The couple stood Infront of the shrine and closed their eyes just praying for just one thing their togetherness and well being of their partners . As they were done with the prayer they were given chandhan and in kerala temples it will always be thrown in hands . everyone were getting it in silence while Jagadish was new to kerala temples and got the sandal with a little  difficulty and shouted in a considerably high voice " out " raising one of his finger making everyone turn towards him and that's when he realised everyone looking at him and Maithrayie slapped her forehead with a smile and made him bend down to apply the sandal in his forehead . 

He smiled and said " konjam overaa panniteno ? yaarum gavanikkalela  "

Maithrayie smiled and said " inga irukura 250 per thavirthu yaarum gavanikkalada "

Jagadish rubbed his nape in embarassment while Maithrayie looked at Aryan and Sitara with admiration and said " kalyanam pannikalaama jaggu seekrame ? "

Jagadish looked at her with shock while she looked at him and asked " nejama kekuren kalyanam pannikalaama ? "

Jagadish looked into her eyes and said " unga veetla othukattum aprom pannikalaam "

Maithrayie frowned and turned aside while he held her hand and said " wait panlaamd .... we have a long way ahead ... parents sammadham kedaikatum . "

Maithrayie looked at him with a tint of anger and asked " apdi kedaikaamaye poiruchuna ... ipdiye irundhurlaama ?"

Jagadish looked at her silently and said " try pannuvom ... nee sonna adhe 2 years ... adhuku melayum stubbornaa irundha paathukalaam . adhu mattumillaama naane oru kolandha naa kalyanam panna child marriagenu en appava jailla vachura maataanga "

Maithrayie laughed at his last verse and said " ipdi pesiye enna samaalichuru " and joined along with the others while Jagadish made it in mind to get back to her parents without her knowing about it and went along with her. Sitara was identified by many devotees and despite the bouncers so many people were trying to get towards them as the couple were doing their wedding photoshoot in the temple complex and the family members realised that staying here wouldn't be advisable and went off to the vehicle they came here while Sitara was speaking to her fans while coming on the way and giving a handshake.Aryan was completely shielding her all the while between his arms and only after coming to the van did he release her from his embrace and held her hands while panting . 

Sitara chuckled at his state while he glared at her and took her pallu wiping his sweat and asked " enna paatha siripa iruka unaku "

Sitara glared at him and said " eii enna panreenga silk saree karayaayrum " 

Aryan smirked and continued what he was doing while she held his dhoti and started pulling it without thinking what she was doing . Aryan was shocked by her act while the family was looking at it with widened eyes while she didn't realise what she was doing still now and squealed " en sareeyava azhukaakura un vettiya naa ipo azhukaakala "

Jagadish closed his eyes and said " adiye oru kannipaiyan irukura edathula ennad panra . " and that's when she realised what she was about to do and left his  dhoti in a swift and looked around to find her mother giving death stare towards her while others were having a tough time in controlling their laugh . Her mother side cousins were teasing her while Charu was still looking at her with open mouth. 

Sitara closed her face in embarassment and hid it in his chest while he chuckled and wrapped his arms around her saying " podhumda en pondaatiya kalaaichadhu paavam edho aarvathula panta "

Jagadish said " aarvama avasaramnu sollungana .... avlo veri ponnuku "

Sitara punched Aryan's chest to what Jagadish said without even lifting her face while he suppressed his laugh and made them shut their mouth after 10 minutes of speaking . Sitara was still not lifting her face and Aryan looked down to find her sleeping clutching his shirt and placing her cheek on his chest and sleeping peacefully with slightly parted lips and soft snore. Aryan felt complete by that moment and the vermillion in her partition and the nuptial chain around her neck was screaming his rights over her while he absorbed that moment completely into his heart and tucked the hair strands that were sprawled all over her face and sensed her disturbed by the jewels . 

He called her mother in sign language and said that he will give the jewels to her as she is fast asleep and slowly removed all the heavy kerala style jewellery she was wearing for their wedding under compulsion of her mother, and he slowly removed her plait which had numerous pins in the hair. Aryan said " ivlo pin kuthirkaanunga valikaadha . cha " Charu turned towards him with a disgusting look and said " en kalyanathannaiku idhe naa sonnapo oru naal dhaa ponnu maari iruka adjust pannunu sonnavan dhaanada nee? gavanichukuren unna "

Aryan smiled sheepishly while Vikranth was smiling by closing his mouth and turned towards Charu and asked " innum evlo naal dhaand social distancing "

Charu glared at him and turned aside while Vikranth was looking at her with puppy look which melted her, yet she said nothing and turned towards him resting her head over his chest and started sleeping clutching his shirt. He looked at her with surprise while she took his hand and encircled it around her shoulder and asked " naa edho kovathula sonna apdiye social distancinglaye nippengala ? vandhu samaadhanam pannuvom onnum illa . nee ellaam saamiyaara poga dhaa laayaku vikki " Vikranth's mind suddenly flashed his past where he would dance with two girls at the same time in the pub in close proximity and shook his head letting out a smile and hugged her closer to him. 

They were back to chennai by evening and both Sitara and Aryan were made to do the after marriage rituals in their ECR villa while they looked at the clock it was striking 4 pm. all the rituals got over and they made them ready for nuptial night by 7pm while Sitara was standing there yawning. Her cousins were teasing her and nothing was getting into her mind as everything that was occupying her mind was just sleep . Sitara looked at Charu with pleading eyes while she made them get out saying that she will take care and came near her while Sitara hooked her arms around Charu and laid her face in her stomach saying " thooka thookama varudhu d ... mehandhi sangeet adhu idhunu enna 4 naala thoongave vidala " 

Charu chuckled and said " marriage tired apdi dhaand irukum , naane marriage mudunja night ivanunga solradhalaa ketu bayandhu ulla pona kuppara paduthu avan apove korata vutu thoongirundhaan . poi thoongiru avlo dhaa "

Sitara looked at her and asked " endi ivangaluke idhu oru maari illayaa d . idhulaam oru oru couplesoda privacy dhaana ... idhuku poi time kuruchu ellaam sendhu ulla thalli chei .... nenaikelaye disgustingaa iruku . indha karumathayellaam cut panna nalla irukum . "

Charu laughed and said " idhuku dhaa Arya naalaiku early morning flightlaye honeymoon kelamburaan Vikki kudutha ideala . ennatha panna few things are still the same in our society " 

Sitara yawned and entered their room to witness their room having no such decorations and Aryan was eating apple sitting in his casual shorts and sleeveless t shirt. He looked at her and smiled while she reciprocated the smile which turned into yawn in half way. He chuckled seeing her while she smiled sheepishly. He said " poi comfortable clothes change pantu vaa . aama unaku pasikalaya ? "

Sitara nodded a no and said " Charu ooti vitta paadhi thookathula saapte pasikala " 

Aryan nodded and laid down in the bed while she changed into casuals and came back to find him sleeping peacefully. she smiled and laid down beside him after switching off the light and in few minutes, he engulfed her into his hug sideways from her back and she slept peacefully in his embrace.

After 20 days of celebrating their marriage life in their faourite swiss and paris the couple were now standing in their reception stage which was adorned with purple and white themed flowers in close proximity to beach in a private resort in mahabalipuram . The open arena was shining bright with the grandeur lighting photographers , press and celebrities from both buisness and film circle . Aryan and Sitara were posing for the pictures with a beautiful smile and their face was glowing as a result of their happy and complete married life . As the functions were done Jagadish and Vikranth who were hosting the reception gave mike to both of them and asked them to dedicate a song to each other while both of them looked at each other and held their hands and Aryan started singing 

 Kanne kaniye unnai kaivida maatten

Maalai soodiya kaalai kadhirin mele
sathiyam sathiyam idhu sathiyame

Oru kuzhandhai pole

Nettril pottil mutha vaithu

Sitara was looking at him with moistened eyes while when they asked her to dedicate a song she refused to do it as she was not in a stable emotional state to dedicate a song . Aryan bent down to her ears and asked " en madam unga purushanuku oru song paada koodaadha ?"

Sitara looked at him and said " naa paadavo sollavolaam maate senju kaatre " he looked at her with a surprising eyebrow rise while she smiled at him and held his hands affirmatively in the way of assuring that she will be the best lifepartner . 

After 10 years , 

A small girl of age 9 was running in the backyard and a boy was chasing her . She was looking here and there as the next step was blocked by the compound wall . she turned towards the boy who was of her same age and he smirked at her  saying " ippo enta escape aaga mudiyaadhe "

The girl looked with puppy eyes and said " Ashwin naa nejamaave theriyaama dhaanda kottiten " 

The guy named Ashwin smirked at her and said " epdi epdi naa 2 naala ukkaandhu varanju andha drawing unaku pudikumnu eduthutu vandhu summa adhu un thambikkunu tease panna nee adhula teayayum kottitu theriyaama kottuchunu solluviya . punishment kudupen "

The girl was looking at him and nodded her head without any other go and he said " seri kannathula kiss kuduthutu odu " 

The parents who were searching their kid came to the back lawn and were shocked to hear the statement of the boy and Charu glared at Vikranth who was looking at his son with " enna maariye irukaane " and went near him while Aryan and Sitara looked at each other with a smile and went near their daughter who was standing there with fear and the moment she heard her father's voice "Ayra " she went towards him in swift and climbed up him with a squeal " daddy " 

He held her closer to his shoulder and Sitara glared at her daughter asking " hey ... ippo edhuku d avan panna paintingla tea kottuna .. " she was not looking up and sitara glared saying " Ayra unna dhaa kekure edhuku tea kottunanu " 

Aryan felt his daughter stuttering and glared at Sitara saying " edho theriyaama kottirpa edhuku ipo en ponna kathitruka .... un aruma marumagan enna pannaannu kelu "

Charu was twisting his ears and asking " enda chinna pullaya thorathitu vandhu adhennada pazhakkam kiss ketutruka ? ethana vaati sollirke avala vambilukaadha ipdinu paaru bayandhuta "

Ashwin squealed and said " maa appa dhaanama neenga ipdi thappu panna punishment kudupaaru adhaan naanum punishment kuduthe appo adhu punishment illaya ?"

Charu left his ears and glared at Vikranth while he took his son in his arms and left the place saying " gundu payabulla epdi korthu vidudhu paaru ... ini evatayaachu nee kiss kelu "

Ashwin " appo andha ponnuta mattum kekalaama "

Vikranth glared at his son and said " enakum ungammakum divorce vaangi thandhuraadhada .... pullaya ipdiyaada bayamuruthuva nalla dhaana iruka matha ponnungata " Ashwin looked at Ayra from his father's arms and felt like smiling seeing her frowned face and said " ivala tease pannaale nalla irukupa " to which Vikranth hit his own forehead and took him in . This is these two kids. Ayra was first kid of Aryan and Sitara while Ashwin was first kid of Charu and vikranth . Ashwin was just 6 months elder to her and was senior to her in school . His time pass or hobby would be teasing and making her cry. Though he pacifies her later he gets immense pleasure in teasing her . The parents came in and the other couples came in for their weekly family gathering. This was a ritual between this gang of friends and the family gathering was this time happening in Aryan and Sitara's home . 

Aryan was successfully running his firm which was now in ne of the top 5 architectural firms in tamilnadu and he had made partnership with Vikranth pulling in their firms under one banner . Sitara was a well known pan indian play back singer and just got her national award for best playback singing a year back . The couple were blessed with a daughter name Ayra (9) and a baby boy after 5 years of their first child vidhyuth(4). Vikranth was successfully running his firm with Aryan and Charu was as always supportive to him both professionally as well personally. She is taking care of landscape projects and the couple is blessed with two kids Ashwin (9) and a daughter Avanthika ( 3). Jagadish and Maithrayie were married 7 years ago and Jagadish convinced her parents for 2 years and married his lady love with blessings of both their parents . They were blessed with twin boys ... Adharsh and Avinash(5). 

Arjun is now working in Anna university as a professor and Sandhya is working in MEASI as a professor. both are blessed with two girls. Maya ( 13 ) and Mithra (9).  The parents were having their own time while the kids were playing with each other happily . As the day ended everyone left to their residences and Sitara came out of the kid's room after lying down vidhyuth in his bed to see her husband pacing along the lily pond patting his daughter's back while she was sound asleep in his shoulders . Sitara smiled at it and went near him placing her hand in his shoulder saying " ava thoongi romba neramaachu . innum evlo neram thookitu nadakuradha idea ?"

Aryan smiled at her and said " en kaikullaye vachukanum pola iruku thara.... ivala first time en kaila vaangunapolendhu ipo vara adhu matum dhaa enaku thonudhu "

Sitara was overwhelmed by this fatherly affection of her man and still felt his hand would ache as she is no more a kid and is 9 year old " ipdiye panni panni avaluku 9 vayasaachu innum neenga thooki thatti kudutha dhaa thoongura . unga ponnu vandhadhulendhu ennaye kanduka maatreenga arya neenga "

Aryan brought her closer to him by one hand and kissed her forehead before leaving to tuck their daughter in bed . He came out to see his wife sitting in the steps of the lily pond for him . Aryan smiled and went near her pulling her into his embrace and asked " petha ponnuta ennad posessiveness unaku haan ?" and dashed her forehead to which she said " poraamalaam  illaye liteaa poraama dhaa " He hugged her closer to him and talked about some random things drenching their legs in the pond and this was the ritual for past 10 years of their marriage life . every night despite their work load and kids they find time for themselves , random and baseless talks which would make them feel close by heart . Aryan looked at the time which struck 11 and said " time aachu thoongalaama ?"

Sitara extended her arms towards him with a smile and he lifted her in his arms as she does this very rarely when she wishes to be in his embrace and took her to their room with face radiating happiness and satisfaction. 

AND THEY LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER ....
