Prabhu's POV
After speaking to my mama, we are now going to Express Avenue(mall). These girls are a big fan of Adventure films especially Marvel films. I like those movies but not a fan of them.
They already booked tickets online for the movie 'Antman and the Wasp'. Thanks to mobile. We have more than 1 hour time for the movie.
And these girls planned their menu in the car itself. I went to EA (Express Avenue) a few times before. But these girls are something else.
Janu is a master in planning these kinds of things. She scheduled the timetable 'eat and enjoy till night'.
As they planned, we went to the food court and ordered dominos pizza and garlic bread and beverages. We discussed the anniversary arrangements while eating. We exactly finished our lunch 10 mins before the movie. And we entered the theater on time. The movie is nice but they two watched the movie without even blinking eyes and also waited till the post credit scene which raised their curiosity and they started discussing it. I didn't watch Avengers - Infinity war movie. So I am clueless about their speech.
They straight away went to the basement and entered Arokiya shop to munch paneer snacks. After that they came out and ordered Kwality walls thunderstorm for me and Vidhu, and Dark desire for Janu. I am sure that dark desire is going to get wasted because its HUGE with three different flavours of big scoops of ice cream in one big cone topped with nuts and chocolate syrup.
But no one can predict about a girl and her ice cream. She took her time to finish it but still they are arguing about who is great! Tony Stark or Steve Rogers! Janu loves Tony Stark (Iron Man) and Vidhu is a great fan of Steve Rogers (Captain America). There is no problem until they bring discussion this to me. Because I like Thor more than them :P
Finally, they dropped their discussion and decided to step out of the mall which I mentally praying God for more than 30 mins. I have to drop them by 8 PM otherwise consequences will not be good.
The time is already 5.30 PM. The next plan is to Marina beach.
Fortunately, it is only 10 mins drive from here. If they decided to stay away from beach water, I am sure that I can drop them on time. But if they get down in the water, I have to handle them like 4-year-old children and their tantrums and chores shouting like 'Let us enjoy the beach for at least once in a while. For the name-sake only we are living in Chennai, but having a very generous Anna/mama(Anna- Brother to Vidhu; Mama-Cousin to Janu) you only bring us to the beach once in a blue moon day. So don't disturb us. If you want, join us and enjoy'
It is fun to live at that moment. But after knowing they are late to the hostel, I will get advice from FOUR Persons... Not one or two... FOUR persons. I can't argue with them. Because I have to be responsible and I respect them and love them. At the same time, I can't be rude to these ladies and hurt their feelings.
So I have to remind Janu that she has to call her dad after reaching the hostel.
"Janu, mama asked to call you after reaching the hostel ma"
I looked at her reaction in the rearview mirror. She just smiled and looked into my eyes. I could tell she got my intention.
"Don't worry mama. We will reach the hostel on time. And also today is full moon day. So the policemen won't allow us near beach water. We will enjoy the moon and breeze then we will return earlier mama"
I smiled at her and then focused on driving.
After reaching the beach, we walked and talked about random things. After about an hour as Janu told the view of the full moon is great as its rays make the water shine like silver. It actually made my body and mind relax. We started a few minutes later and I bought them Fried rice and soups as dinner and dropped them in the hostel.
I made a call to mama and informed about the same and drove to my apartment.

Janaki's POV
We reached the hostel on time and finished dinner. And then we opened every bag and viewed whatever we bought. Then only we felt satisfied. I hope most ladies do this and only ladies can understand that feeeel. After eating the dinner and shuffling the things, we decided to go to sleep.
I feel very tired but I am not the person who fell asleep immediately on lying on the bed. It will take some time for sleep to embrace me.
My mind replayed the whole day. I started speaking with myself mentally. After a long time, we enjoyed this day to the maximum.
More than anything, I loved the view of the moon on the night beach. It's a very romantic feel. After marriage, I will insist on my future husband to spend at least a night on the beach. The best way to get peace of mind is to attach ourselves to nature.
Suddenly, my mind jumped to the movie's post-credit scene and I'm thinking what are the possible ways available to Antman to exit that quantum field.
Who will get him out?
Will he himself find the way out?
Will my favourite hero, Tony stark help him. Yes, that is the most likely option available. To be said in Thanos words, he is cursed with moreee knowledge. Haha...
Maybe Bruce banner can help.
Omg! Can't wait till next Marvel movie.
Oh Janu! You forgot the most important thing. Athai(Aunt) told that Prabhu mama got a marriage proposal. If the proposal got accepted by all, I must insist athai to fix the marriage date after our exams. Then only I can assist them, and more than assisting the ENJOYMENT will be more. House full of relatives and friends, flowers, mehendi, new dresses and the most important thing is different varieties of FOOD. Wowwwww. I must pray to God for this alliance to work out.
Janu! You must pray to God to give a nice and lovely wife for mama, not for the sake of food and other things. I hit my head lightly and turned on the bed.
I could see some dim light from Vidhu's bed... What is it... Hmm? Stupid Janu! It must be her mobile. She must be using her mobile under the blanket thinking that I slept.
OMG! Is that mean Vidhu is keeping some secret from me?
Janaki's POVWhen did Vidhu start to have secrets? What is she hiding from me?My emotional side of the brain tells me to confront her. But my Detective side tells me to observe her without her knowledge till I get full details.What shall I do? I decided to dig into the details without her knowledge. From tomorrow onwards 'Detective' Janu must be in full alerts. I silently smiled. My full suspicion is on that jerk, Ajay.Yes, I am calling him a jerk because he is soooooooo mean and arrogant. Once I tried to ask him a doubt in cost accounting as my friends suggested he is great at the subject. But that jerk ignored me with an irritating comment 'I am already busy this month girl! You may try me later. Better luck next time!' I felt annoyed as he winked at me before driving away.My most of my seniors were very nice and always clear our doubts. How dare he think me so cheap? And he called me 'Girl'. What does he think about me? How the hell can he j
Janaki's POVThis should not be happening. Oh my dear God! Why are you always having fun by putting me in embarrassing situations?"Mama! When.. did you.. come?"I gasped as his eyes filled with full of anger.He didn't reply to my question which is evident that he watched the whole thing. He took his mobile and called Vidhu. But it seems her number is busy. He tried again."Wait mama. I will get her"Without glancing back at him I ran to my room.The bomb is now ticking. I have to calm him down. I saw Vidhu speaking on the phone. She and that damn Ajay! Can't she see his brother's call on the second line?"Vidhuu"I shouted her name while entering our room. She almost dropped her phone and placed her hand on chest."Oh Janu, you scared me to the death"I am not in the mood to explain her anything."He came. We have to go"I took my bag and lock and glared at her.She quickly whispered
Prabhu's POVAfter the great dinner, we settled to watch TV. I noticed Janu went out to talk to her parents. Its been 30 minutes and she didn't return. She won't go anywhere without informing us. I want to check her. So without grabbing much attention of others, I walked towards the front gate.There she is, in deep thoughts leaned on the side of the front door facing the street. My mind reminded the morning incident so I decided to tiptoe near her so that I can pull a prank by shouting in her ear. It will be funny to watch her scared face and her reactions.I almost went near her but she suddenly turned and bumped into me. My hand automatically snaked her waist to stop her from falling. She didn't realise that I am holding her because she didn't open her eyes for a couple of minutes. She looks more gorgeous in this dim streetlight. She widened her eyes realising our closeness then she immediately pushed me and rushed inside.I stood there still. What the
Janaki's POVAs there is nothing interesting to do inside my house, we decided to sit at Thinnai. (It is open sit-out built using cement with the support of pillars to the top, usually constructed in front of the house used for resting.)We are watching some songs on YouTube and singing. Practically shouting along, not bothered about our neighbours. I heard my appa bike coming. I jumped from thinnai and stuffed my mobile into Prabhu mama's lap making them jumping a little by my sudden actions. I chuckled a little before running towards the gate and now I'm standing in the middle of the road waving at my parents and smiling at them.Prabhu mama and Akash are leaning at the gate smiling at my action. I ran to hug and kiss them as soon as my appa parked his bike. They laughed before returning my hug and kisses. My appa went to hug Prabhu mama and shook his hand with Akash then invited them both inside."Epdi irukinga mama? Iniku vyabaram epdi pochu?"
Nandhini's POV(Saturday)ARGH! HANGOVER!I shook my head trying to get rid of the worst headache and blinked my eyes a few times as I didn't remember how I ended up in this place. All I remembered is last night, I went to a pub with my friends. I drank 7 shots or maybe more.. then... Hmmm... I couldn't recall anything after that.I tried to get up from this soft and comfortable bed but I realized an arm snaked around my naked body. I tried to recognize the muscular guy lying in his birth state besides me but I couldn't. GREAT! I took a warm long shower and wore my clothes that were scattered all around the room. Suddenly the room door opened and another hot tall guy entered with a glass full of lemon juice."Hey hottie! You have already got ready? I thought you would like to spend some more time with us."Us? Never mind! He gave me the juice. His eyes were all over my body as I am wearing a short gown and revealing most of my long legs.
Prabhu's POV(Saturday - Morning)Akash is now settled with our place. He is having a good time with my family. Vidhu went to Janu's house as soon as she got up. She is very much attached to Banu athai. After having breakfast, Akash and I settled on the terrace as he showered me with some tips for my meeting with Nandhini.After a few minutes, we spotted Vidhu and Janu walking in the street. They were seriously discussing something. I thought they were coming here but they walked past our house. We decided to pull a prank on them. They examined the front of my house but not the terrace. So we climbed down cautiously and managed to reach behind them without a sound. We both shouted as loud as we can near their ears making them jump in the middle of the street.My sweet-brave women had a priceless expression. Vidhu screamed loudly and to avoid any public comments, I quickly walked them a few steps away. My sister started shouting at me for terrorizing them.
Janaki's POVI had been tossing and turning for the past 30 minutes. I sighed and got up from the bed. Vidhu is fast asleep. I took my shawl, my mobile & headphones and decided to go to the terrace. I got out of the room silently and ascended to the terrace.I got a little heart attack and froze on the last stair as I noticed a silhouette of someone sitting near the opposite corner of the terrace. I couldn't see anything clearly as today is a new moon day. I turned on my mobile torch and relief washed over me.Prabhu mama!I emptied my lungs with a big sigh of relief. He had his earphones plugged and leaned his head back on the wall with eyes closed. He blocked the sudden light with his hands and blinked his eyes."Mama, I really got a mini heart attack as I thought you were a ghost."I went and sat next to him. He chuckled at me mentioning him as a ghost."What ma? Not feeling sleepy?""Hmmm. My mind is over excited with l
Prabhu's POVLast Sunday was so much fun. I am learning a lot in the office. It's been three days since we came to Chennai. Yesterday, I had a conversation with Nandhini's thatha about our future dating. I suggested him to leave that part to us. Because he is suggesting me to go to Taj Coromandel to have a cup of tea with her. It is okay to pay a fortune for just a single tea once in a while. But I am not okay to feed her any wrong idea of my financial status. I am just a team leader in a leading software company, not CEO of that company.Money plays an important role in our lives but happiness and peace are more important than money.I have the confidence to develop my financial status over the period of time but that doesn't mean I am paying Rs.250/- for a cup of tea to impress a woman. My future wife has to understand my current financial status to run the family in future which includes my parents and sister.I am really very confused about where to s
