Vishali turned off the ignition and parked her Scooty on the patio of Shankar's house. The patio as usual smelled of jasmine flowers ..she lingered a bit longer taking in that sweet smell ..
"what took you so long???" Shankar asked pulling her out of trance.." i have been waiting for an hour for you to get here"
" sorry shankar got stuck at the gate in tambaram.." Vishali replied " so you sounded very excited on the phone...so wat is the big news.."
"Hello Vishali..eppadi ma irruke..( how are u )" that was shankar's patti (grandmother) " it has been long time since u came our place"
"Patti i was here last weekend only..." Vishali said with a mischevious smile " shankar told me u have made Theratti pal ( milk sweet) and karasev so here ami braving the summer heat and tambaram traffic "
Patti laughed " ulla vadi kannama..unnaku illatha theratipala ( come in darling...there is def sweet for you)"
Vishali hugged shankar's patti.."i wish my patti was like his.." she thought...
"let me go and get the sweets" patti said and went inside
She looked over at shankar and asked him " hey wat is the big news???"
" Sudha's marriage has been fixed." shankar beamed...
"congrats yaar.. where is she ..???" Vishali asked..
"she is on the phone talking to her finance.." shankar replied with a big grin on his face..
"Hello mami and mama ( Aunty and uncle)" vishali said to shankar's parents..
She liked his mom a lot too...
" did u hear the news vishali " shankar's amma asked
" yes mami..congrats on becoming mamiyar( mother in law)" vishali replied..
"thanks da kanna ( dear)" his amma replied..his dad smiled at her..he was busy talking to some one on cellphone.
"so tell me the details yaar" vishali asked
" well the guy is denver US and is a consultant..he has also applied for green card and is in the final stage and he wants to get married before he gets it..some funda that i did not understand" shankar gushed
"and..iam presuming there were reasons other than his Green card that made a suitable match for sudha.." vishali quipped
"His parents are from chennai only and his sister actually is gonna join our college this june in BSc maths..." he winked his eyes and Vishali sniffed "anyways he did his BE computer science in Anna university.."
"He was actually a state rank holder in the 12th Standard " shankar's father quipped in very proudly..
"appa let me finish" shankar whined and then turned to vishali and started saying briskly " anyways he finshed his MS inUS ..in UIUC..can u believe it...He told me he can help with my SOP.." Shankar said dreamily...
"hey that is nice shankar.." Vishali said...he always dreamed of doing PhD there ...Vishali thought
"So do you guys know his family well??" Vishali asked
" Well one of friends saw this guy's profile posted online and told us about them...we them contacted them...remember i told you they came to see sudha last week.."
" oh that was really fast.." Vishali thought " wat about sudha...is she interested.."
" Well Dumbo..after she said yes only we are proceeding.." Shankar replied..
Vishali saw Sudha walking on the terrace with phone in her hand..she seemed to be glowing..
She turned towards shankar and saw him grinning from ear to ear..
"wipe that stupid smile yaar.." Vishali teased him .." your sister is the one getting married not you.."
"well you know wat that means for me...not only will i be getting rid of my bossy sister..it also clears the line for me to get married.." shankar joked
"and who will marry a dumbo like you...i really pity that girl..." Vishali laughed " lets go and eat some sweets yaar..i feel hungry .." vishali said walked towards patti bringing the goodies ...
