🌼Yash _Aarti FF 🌼Vivah🌼 👩❤️👨
Part -1
Yash stood with his eyes closed in front of the deity Shiva in the temple. He was wearing only a white color mundu/ dhoti and was shirtless.
(Men are not allowed to wear shirts inside the temples in the Village.)
After his prayers, he took the prasadam (a leaf in which sandal paste and flowers are there ) from the priest and applied the chandanam (sandal paste) on his forehead and below his collar bone. Then he took the theertham (holy water) in his right hand, drank it piously and moved the same palm along the top of his head. He walked out of the temple and put on his shirt.
Then he waited for his mother, Radha who hadn't finished her prayers.
After some minutes, she too came out of the temple.
Yash: Amma, shall we leave.
Ra: Hmm.(nods her head)
Both of them walked towards his bike which was parked outside. He half folded his mundu upwards and tied the ends together and mounted his bike. Radha too mounted at the back and sat sideways holding his shoulder.
The bike arrived into the huge courtyard of the "Mangalasseri" tharavaadu (ancestral house).
Mangalasseri was a well known family of that village.
Yash and Radha alighted from the bike and walked inside the house.
Yash walked upstairs to his room and changed his mundu and shirt and put on a pair of formal pants and a plain blue shirt.
He walked down the wooden stairs and walked towards the dining room.
He sat down on a chair and inverted his plate which had been lying upside down. He could smell the aroma of freshly cooked dosa which was wafting from the kitchen.
Yash: Amma..Dosa today.?(smiles)
Ra: (from the kitchen) Oh you already came to have breakfast..Wait, I will bring now..
Radha came to him with a yummy looking dosa and placed it on his plate.
She served him some coconut chutney and chilly onion chutney and then he started to have it.He loved his mother's cooking.
Just then his younger sister, Pari came into the room. She was doing her graduation in the nearby town.
Pari: Ammaa..Dosa for me too..
Ra:I am coming now.
Pari looked at Yash.
Pari: Ettaa (elder brother).Will you drop me at the bus stop at the main road, when you go to your shop?
Yash: Alright Pari..
Yash owned a supermarket store in the town.His business was actually doing well.It had been seven years since he had opened the shop.He also owned a vast area of farming land.
After dropping Pari he arrived straight at his store. He unlocked the shutter and opened it upwards.Then he walked inside and put on the main switch.He went behind the cash counter and lighted the lamp in front of the photo frame of his father. And thus he began his day.
In the evening, one of his friends came to the shop.His name was Nandu.
Na: Yash.There is good news..
Yash: Hey.What is it daa..? (daa is the way to address a person casually, like "yaar" in Hindi)
Na: Prateek is coming for a holiday from Mumbai ..He will arrive in tonight's flight.We have to go to the airport to pick him up..We can go in my Car..
Yash: Ok daa.I will come..Let me give the shop key to Manoj and tell that he will have to close the shop at night.
Manoj was the person who worked as a supervisor at the shop.
Yash and Nandu reached the airport at 8 p.m.
It was raining heavily🌧️ and they had umbrellas☔ with them.They reached the lobby and decided to wait there for their friend, Prateek.Just then Nandu's phone began to ring.In order to hear clearly he moved away from Yash to somewhere else.
Meanwhile Aarti was coming down in the escalator.She was talking with her father Satyendra on her mobile.
Aarti: Hello Papa..I reached the airport.Now tell me the address of my Amma's house..
Sa: I won't tell you..You just come back here in the next flight itself..
Aarti: (seriously) What is this Papa.?
I didn't come here to Come back..You know that very well..
Sa: (angrily) Fine..!! Then you do as you wish Chinnu..
He disconnected the call..
Aarti was really shocked at first.But then she got really angry at her Papa.
Aarti: (to herself) Hmm..I am also stubborn like you Papa..I will try myself..
Aarti was walking towards the lobby with her luggage. She was wearing a green salwar kameez with blue dupatta.
She passed Yash as she walked and her dupatta's end got struck in his shirt button. Yash felt a tug in his shirt and he looked down. He tried to remove the dupatta with his fingers, and it was then Aarti felt someone pulling her dupatta. She turned and saw that Yash was doing it. She became angry and walked towards him.
Aarti: What are you trying to do Mister?
Yash was busy in staring at the beauty in front of him but become dumbstruck hearing her and looked at her impatiently.
Yash: What do you mean..? (looks at the dupatta end and realised that she is misunderstanding) Oh hello..! Don't you think that I was pulling your dupatta..?
Yash left the dupatta and walked off shaking his head in disbelief. Aarti opened her mouth to retort but she noticed that his wallet had dropped down on the floor. She bent down and picked it up.
She again looked around for him, but couldn't find him. She opened it hoping to find some details about him in order to return it.
But she was surprised. She found a passport size photo of none other than her own mother, Sobha inside it.
Aarti: (shocked) Amma..!! (then frowns)
What is her photo doing inside this person's wallet..?Who is he..? (looks around again hoping to see him) I will have to find out.He might be somewhere here..
( N:B- Days back Sobha had handed her passport size photos to Yash for some documentation. So he had kept it in his wallet.)
Precap - Aarti following Yash.
It's ok. By the way what do people call Father in Malayali? (Just wanna know).
Eagerly waiting for yash n arthis confrontation
You will get the next part today....
🌼Yash _Aarti FF 🌼Vivah🌼 👩❤️👨
Part -2
But what is her photo doing inside this person's wallet..?Who is he..? (looks around again hoping to see him) I will have to find out.He might be somewhere here..
Aarti hastily walked out of the lobby and looked around for him. It was raining heavily and so it was unable to make out anyone's face. Suddenly she spotted him getting into a car and saw it move away.
Quickly she also hailed for a taxi and got into it as fast as possible. Then she asked the driver to follow the car.
After one hour of chasing, they reached in front of Yash's tharavaadu (ancestral home). His friend drove away after dropping him at his gate.
Yash opened his umbrella because it was still raining heavily. He saw someone arriving in a taxi and walked towards it with his umbrella. Aarti, who didn't have an umbrella, also got down and paid for her taxi. When he came nearer he realized that it was the same girl.
Yash: Tum....? (You..?)
Aarti was completely drenched. Yash moved closer to her and gave her the shelter of his umbrella. Aarti looked at him.
She held out his wallet and said confidently.
Aarti: I came to return your wallet.
Yash looked at it and then searched his shirt pocket. He realized that he had lost it.
Yash: Thanks..
He smiled and extended his hand. But Aarti slid it away from his hand.
Yash grew impatient and glared at her.
Yash: (angrily) You.!
Aarti: (smartly)I will give this to you.But before that, you have to answer my question.
Yash: (angrily) What is it..?
Aarti: I saw a photo inside your wallet.She is my Amma..I want to know how she is related to you.
Yash thought "Oh..So this is Sobha amma's daughter, Chinnu. Mumbai girl huh.But look at her..She is so arrogant..Let me teach her a lesson first."
Yash :(excitedly) Oh.You are talking about my cheriyamma.(father's younger brother's wife) She lives here only..In our house.(then thinks for sometime) But she has never told me about having a daughter.
It was Aarti's turn to be surprised..She thought "Oh my God !! My Amma also married someone else ..I can't believe this..And she has forgotten me too."
Aarti: You are talking about Mrs. Sobha Menon right.?
Yash: Of course I am talking about her..She is living here..in my house.
Aarti: (uncertainly) Actually I have come all the way from Mumbai in search of my Amma.I didn't know her address and I saw her photo inside your wallet and followed you till here..
Yash: Ok then..Come inside..But she is not here. Both my cheriyachan(father's younger brother) and cheriyamma have gone to a faraway temple. They will come back after two days only.Till then you can stay with my family.
Aarti walked with him in the umbrella as he led her towards the verandah of his house. As soon as they reached inside the shelter of the roof, he kept the umbrella aside and then rung the calling bell. Radha opened the door
after sometime.
Ra: Yash....Did you get wet in the rain.?
Yash :(smiles) No Amma....
Then Radha's eyes fell upon Aarti who was gazing around with an uncertain look in her eyes.
Ra: Who is she, Yash...?
Yash: You take her to our guest room first, Amma. She is coming back after a long journey.
Radha came back to Yash after five minutes. Yash had a glint of naughtiness in his eyes.
Ra: Who is she..?
Yash: Amma..She is Sobha Amma's daughter, Chinnu.
Radha was quite surprised and she clapped her hand on her mouth happily.
Ra: Really, Yash..? I will tell, Sobha now itself.
But Yash stopped her..
Yash: Wait..Wait..Wait...
Ra: What..? She will be so happy to see Chinnu..
Yash: Don't worry about that..I will inform Sobha Amma tomorrow.. But this girl is so arrogant..I just want to teach her a lesson first..
Yash told Radha everything about the events which had happened at the Airport and then at the gate of their house.
Ra: Stop being silly, Yash.
Yash: Ammaa..NO means no..Let me handle this..
********************************
Meanwhile at the tharavaadu right next to Yash's tharavaadu:
Sobha felt as if someone called her and she came towards the verandah of her house.
She gazed around her courtyard through the rain.
Sobha: I felt as if someone came..I felt someone calling me.
She understood that it was just a feeling and then she walked inside and bolted the door carefully.

Prologue
The morning sun shone over the huge public pond. The pond was completely filled with water, all thanks to the Kaalavarsham (rainy season in Kerala in the months of June, July and August).
The kids in the area were having their Onam vacation. So, most of them had assembled at the banks of the pond to have fun. They were having a kind of diving competition. The hero of our story, Yash, who had just turned 11 years old, was ready to take his plunge into the deep water.
He jumped down from the high wall surrounding the pond and dived into his depths. He always loved the feeling.
He came up to the surface and shot his hand up in the air victoriously. His friends appreciated him with their applause and cheering words.
Suddenly they heard someone crying at the top of her voice. They looked at the direction of the noise and saw its a small girl who might be around 10 years old was drowning in the water, only a certain distance away.
Yash swam as fast as he could in that direction. Her mother, who was standing at the bank was crying loudly for help. Yash reached the girl in a few minutes and took hold of her hair and pulled her up.Then he swam towards the shore with her.
After pulling her on to the steps of the pond bank.He pressed her tummy and water gushed out of her mouth.After a few minutes she regained her consciousness.Her mother thanked him profusely and hugged him.
The girl's home (in the same village)
Her father, F: Don't you think that you are responsible for what happened to Chinnu today.?
Her mother was crying bitterly. But her father was totally furious.
Her Mother, M: I know..It's my fault..I wasn't careful enough.Please forgive me.(sobbing bitterly)
F: Don't you cry in front of me.You know that I don't like crying..
M:I am sorry.(tries to control her weeping)
F: You only compelled us to come to this wretched village of yours..
M: I wanted to come here because my mother is not well..She is alone over here..
F: Then you stay here..I am taking Chinnu back to Mumbai with me..
M: (pleads) Noo..Please don't do that.She is my daughter too..
F: My decision won't change..Now move aside from my way.You know that there is no meaning in our relationship .We are just staying together because of our daughter..After today's incident you have proved that you are such a careless mother..
After two days ...
Chinnu's mother was sitting in the verandah of her tharavaadu (ancestral house).Yash and his friends were riding their bicycles along the narrow alley which lay ahead of that house.Yash saw the lady and he stopped his cycle. He walked towards her and asked.
Yash: How is your daughter.... Aunty?
She began to cry. Yash was tensed.He came closer to her.
Yash: What happened.Why are you crying..?
She told him everything which happened on that fateful day. Yash felt sorry for that lady.
Yash: Don't worry.If you are in need of anything, just tell me..I am staying in the house next to you..You know "Mangalasseri" tharavaadu .I am the son of Late.Suraj Pratap Iyer and Radha...
M: Oh..You are Radha's son, Yash..?
She was my best friend before I got married..You were only 1 year old at the time of my marriage.
Yash: (smiles) Oh!! I will tell my Amma that you have come back from Mumbai..And listen..Consider me as your son from today onwards.Just tell me whatever you need at any time..What is your name..Aunty?
M: Sobha....(smiles)
16 YEARS LATER...
MUMBAI
Satyendra Menon reached his luxurious villa in the suburbs of the city. Nandini served him dinner as soon as he arrived at the dining table after freshening up.
Sa: Where is Chinnu..?
Nandini hesitated.She knew what was going to happen if she told him the truth.
Na: Well.. Satyendra..She left a letter for you.
Satyendra stared at her as if he was seeing her for the first time.
Sa: What do you mean by that..?
Nandini handed him a letter.
He frowned and read it with shivering hands.It read.....
Dear Papa,
I am going to my Amma's village in Kerala..All these years you have never let me meet my Amma..I know that you love me a lot, Papa.You married Nandini aunty and filled your wife's place..I know that she is nice to me..But she will never fill up the void in my life.
Now that my studies are over, I decided to stay with my Amma for some time- may be one month, one year or many years.I don't know, Papa. I will contact you after I reach there..Please don't worry about me..I will be fine.
Love,
Chinnu"
As Satyendra Menon was reading the
letter, Aarti's flight arrived at
the Nedumbassery Airport in Cochin, Kerala.
****************************************
So this was the prologue.

You are also a Malayali ? I didn't know.
Is it a ritual that men go to the temples in Kerala Shirtless?
