She moved so Amma could lay by her

"Appa othukka maatala. Appa wont agree" Amma said
II sat up... and looke at her Mom...
SO AMMA IS OK? AMMA REAY AA? AMMA THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU🤗❤️
"Ishita we did not expect this from you" Amma was stern
"I know Ma, I didnt either" she said guilty
"They are way out of league, they fed us in ALL silverware, Sitaraman kooptrinda, was the cook, Uma seemandathula samachare Vasant Vihar cook" Amma said in awe
"Ayyyoyo" "Nejama va?" "seriously?"
"YA All IYER food. AND she gave me tamboolam. How can I doubt that sincereity?" At the same time there is no guarantee R&B is a good boy" Amma said bluntly
"Amma he is not bad... he is great"
"6 weeks work panni ivlav periya conclusion, such a big one?"
"amma u got less with Appa, u met him once and married him" II said
"True, but Thatha was not a womanizer" Amma said bitterly😡
II was completely quiet
"Here is what I can promise kanna, Sam wants your horoscope, I will send it to her tomorrow, nalla naala irukku (its an auspicious day) (Iyers follow a LOT of shastras, good days bad days good hour not so good hour)
"she has sent his, I am going to get it matched, from various people, just so that its not a false positive. IF THEY DONT MATCH the deal is off" FIRM AND CRISP😡
"IF they do?"😳 II asked in a whisper, her eyes filling up with tears
"Paapom" "Lets see" (Iyers use this term a lot)
Amma turned off the zero watt bulb, and shut her door and left the room
