"Oh! Come bestow me life"☺️
Her friends swarmed her like bees... she was adamant about leaving her neck bare, most of her mehandi had dried completely... she wasnt worried about it being ruined
It kinda added a pattern to her bare arms. Her friends hubbies greeted her, Akka had her phone
"Podi U can have it after the wedding or at night today and tomorrow night only strictly"
She felt his eyes on him as she walked to the opposite end...
Sam grabbed the mike and announced
"Coming up next is Utkarsh and Seema dancing to Mehandi Lagaake Rakhna" Seema Bhalla is our own aspiring actor in the making...
Uma: She is trying for the movies is it? (they seem like a very modern family)
Utkarsh was dressed like SRK... II smiled and the smile was noticed by the Dude 50 feet away...
Seema looked gorgeous as Kajol
Vandu: Did u practice kannamoochi again after u left my place?"
Amma and Appa had gone off to Chennai on a day trip to buy the remaining jewelry and thaali/mangal sootra from GRT Chennai.
II had returned from work early and she had practised dancing to kannamoochi, followed Akka to her house dance more there...
"Ummm no, I havent had the time... I am not sure I will go ka"
Ranjan walked over with her Appa
Ranjan: You look like a princess in pink betaji
II smiled shyly
Ranjan: R&B ne dekha abhi aapko? (has he seen you in the outfit?)
II squirmed "I dont know Dad"
OFCOURSE HE HAS PIG!!! HIS EYES HAVE BEEN POKING HOLES THROUGH ME FROM ACROSS THIS GODDAMN LIVING ROOM
EVERYTIME I LOOK AT HIM I FIND HIM LOOKING AT ME
Appa: Have u seen Amma?
II: she was upstairs with Athai and Rama Manni
Appa: I wanted to ask her about the time we leave for the Hall (very busy and preoccupied)
Ranjan:Arey Mr Iyer say something about your daughter she looks so nice..
Appa nodded half heartedly
Amma and Athais walked over by the time Vandu went and got R&B
II had a "WHY DID U HAVE TO DO THAT?" look on her face
Vandu:Arey... U said he hadnt "seen" u in the outfit I thought I must bring him, so tell me R&B how does she look
He SHRUGGED... HE SHRUGGED
II: Hope u are happy ka, he cant seem to contain his excitement
Akka giggled, watching her sister's frustration at getting an inadequate response from her dude
Amma Athais and Appa were talking being introed to Ranjan a foot away
Vandu: So u did dress up for him then?
II: I dressed up to dance
R&B stared inscrutably
II:He doesnt have to watch it sollu ka... he doesnt look like he is eager (goading)
Vandu: U shud just not watch she said she didnt dress up for u so looks like she wont dance for u either (giggling)
Sam interrupted
"Coming up next Trehaan and his LOVELY wife Priya dancing to the ever popular gal mithi mithi bol
Put ur hands together people...
They all paused to look Appa shook his head in disbeliefe
Athai:Ivan daan paiyyana? (is he the boy?)
Vandu: yes Athai he is, I told you he is wayyy taller than namba (our) Ishita I was right was I not?
Athai: he is very tall
Athai walked up to him and said "I am Ishita's Athai" (in Tamil)
Vandu: She is my Dad's Akka, like I am Ishita's
R&B joined hands in namaste
Athai smiled turned to look at Vandu in awe "Evlav Raja madiri irukkaan" (HE LOOKS LIKE A PRINCE)
Vandu: Athai says u look like a Prince
R&B handed Athai his half smile
AYYYO AKKA SHUT UP SHUT UP DONT TRANSLATE ATHAI WILL BE OK
DONT DO IT...
Athai: Na aval kitta sonnen avana nidaanama iruka sollu nu onn kitta solla sonna (I told Ishita to tell you "My Athai wants you to be gentle with me, she asked me to tell you DIRECTLY)
II lunged and covered Vandita's mouth
NO NO NO ABSOLUTELY NOT NO NO
Akka sputtered as her henna crumbs fell on brushing with her face
Vandu: Ayyo Ishita dont feed me henna
II:Akka I AM BEGGING YOU PLEASE PLEASE SHUT UP I WILL DO ANYTHING?
Vandu: Anything?
II: YES YE SYES YES PLEEEZ
R&B watched amused, II turned to him his smile disappeared to be replaced with fury for the exchange they had when he left her room
Vandu: i wish I could R&B but she just promised something big
II let go of Akka and stepped back
Vandu:Athai said "You MUST BE GENTLE WITH ISHITA. Hope you will listen to her"
AYYYOOO TRAITOR... AKKA I WILL NO LONGER SPEAK WITH YOU
II stumbled blushing leaning on a wall
With NO SMILE he looked deeply at her let his gaze rove over her flushed face and collar bone...
"I'll try" "ATHAYE?" "ATH-AYE??" he struggled to say it
athai was DELIGHTED
Vandu laughed loud and hard
Vandu:Athai will ask you for a report huh, so follow through
R&B looked at II, they stared at each other visualizing the lust independently... their private fantasy
Lust and hostility was the hall mark of their relationship. It was like oxygen and water... one couldnt survive without the other.
Fuel and match, the combination was deadly but came together nevertheless unfailingly
Sam walked over "I am going to steal my sis in law, she is going next"
Appa turned startled
Jaya Athai stared in shock "Is she going to dance?"
Vandu: yes Athai she has practicsed with her friends and co workers, Ishita did u meet Bally & Co, Bhavna & Chanchal?
II shook her head, he watched her jhumkas bob side to side... she met his gaze
Vandu:Dont worry about the cute guy I will take care of him
She gave R&B a side ways hug he gave a full warm hug to her
Jaya Athai: Rendu perum friends aa? (are Vandita and Raman friends too?)
Amma: yes yes, he likes Vandita a lot... can you see?
II: Amma I dont want to dance (returning to Amma)
amma:Why kanna, akka said u practiced
II: I dont want to...
Bala came looking for R&B... "Ja kiddo everyone is waiting to see u dance, ur friends are already in position lights are dimmed
II: U and Akka shud dance, I dont want to
Bala:WHY? R&B bol isko yaar (tell her man)
R&B didnt move from wher he stood just guzzled his beer
II: No... I dont need
amma: shhh... Ishita they are all watching kanna
II looked at him "Go if u dont care to watch"
"Oh but I WILL WATCH" he eyes told her
Jaya Athai: Does he drink
Amma:they all do (hissing)
Jaya Athai: yes he is not even Iyer so we cant have too many epxectations.
Amma: Radha's husband drinks too doesnt he? What religion is he? Jewish?
Jaya Athai nodded faintly
Radha was doing a Ph D in Sweden fell for Jew and settled down there only calling her parents to tell them a year or so later

II was dragged by friends for the kannamoochi song from Kandukonden
He stepped back as more people crowded the center... her eyes literally searched for him in the group... as she twirled between her friends
There was a huge round of applause when she made her first move
Sam cheered and encouraged people to clap over the MICROPHONE
She twirled and rotated... Appa watched spell bound... in disbelief his little Ishita kutti could be such as performer
"Why do u play hide and seek with me
My love... I am clear as glass
I asked the banks of the river
I also stopped the wind to ask
I even asked the skies there was no answer
Amma's eyes filled up so did Vandu's... Shravu ran to the center... to to yank her pallu tucked in her waist, he watched as a half smiled hovered on his face
Her inverted exclamation mark and those sparkling kohl lined eyes begged him, in a language unknown to him... he watched the photographers
pushing people to the side to get shots of her from the side, her looong braid, it swung like a serpent sweeping an arc around the center... she arched back revealing the ridges on her ribs
A collective "ooohhh" was released across the room at that gymanst like move
She gently lifted her gauzy pink lehanga to reveal a thick three inch wide silver bells on her ankles.. over the henna... women commented to each other on the size of the beads...
Sam watched mesmerized, Mihir nudged him "MANNN!!" was all he could get out...
Her lower lip trembled as she gasped when their eyes met across the room... she forgot her step for half a second, turned away ,
"Is my heart only a plaything for you?"
"Dont I have any feelings
The waves in my heart wont subside
Tan: Do u even know what it means?
He didnt take his eyes off her dancing form, he just shook his head
At last I saw you and my heart found you😳
Please bring your lips to seal my mouth, my kanna/love
Bring ur lashes to close my eyes
"Your form is my attire"☺️
She tapped with her slender feet to match the tap of the tabla
Mihir: WHAT DOES IT EVEN MEAN DUDE?
Sam had sent him the link to the song when she told him "Shes going to be dancing for you so dont miss it R&B"
Hed looked up the lyrics already
When Mihir asked he was replaying them in his mind... the language was unknown but the meaning was relevant to him and him alone
The serpent like braid swing to the front to the tune of violin... it hung almost at her knee... the three velvet balls, held together by the gold foil cones
Her jhumkas... spun like they were on a out of control roller coaster... but she continued to sway to the tune with classical moves
Even after traversing the milky ocean, your hue hasnt changed kanna/krishna
Come join with me I want to be dyed in your hues
Lets blend together, I want your moist lips on mine and your be molded to your form
When the rains fall the mountains will protect
When my tears fall how will you protect me" she asked
swaying softly asking earnestly
"Am I not a girl you love
Cant u see me with your eyes, how I crave for you
Dont I appear in your dreams
My heart sways daily, my anklets arent mute, my heart swells with passion when u are around
If you as much as touched me, My heart could beat without any life to it
Come bestow life upon me" she begged☺️
Towards the end she spun and strolled around each of her friends in her back until she merged into the crowd disappearing from his vision☺️
