Will you marry me? - Chapter 18: Chapter 18

Vasan was in his office room, with his Secretary explaining about the next schedule and other important meetings to attend for. His start up has now grown in to a quite big company in a short span of time.
With his skills, Vasan expanded his branch in Italy by acquiring another start up company which was sold.
He has put in lot of hard work to bring the company to this level and it still had lot more way to go.
No matter how many hours he spend in office in back to back meetings and work, he uses every single opportunity to text or call Keerthi.
He was always thankful and obliged to Keerthi for her full understanding about his work schedule and giving him his space.
She has sacrificed many things for him and never complains about him when he does not accompany her anywhere or attend any functions.
As a token of love and care for her, whenever he gets time he romances her. He made it a very strict practice every month to take her for outing to a different place and enjoy their alone time.
He buys her presents and shower her with his love and whenever he feels. Earlier he was skeptical of marrying because of his work commitments.
But now he felt Keerthi as the best decision he has ever taken in his life.
She has removed all his fears of work life balance. Keerthi took care of the household activities and any other important decision being the elder daughter in law of the family.
Whatever decision she takes, Keerthi ensured that Vasan is made aware of and gets his confirmation.
Vijay completed his studies and is now working in Vasan's company as an employee.
He wanted to learn from the scratch rather than being posted in higher position, just because his brother is the CEO.
Amrita is still in her college. Vasan has completed constructing Four 3BHK apartments in Spanish theme in Anna Nagar.
It is a separate apartment meant only for their family with big spacious car parking , lift , a small park , swimming pool , party hall - basically everything an Apartment.
Two flats were under Vijay's name , while the other two was under Amrita's name.
Neither Keerthi or her parents questioned Vasan for having only 1 house under his name while his siblings had two.
Seeing his massive growth in the industry in the short span of time, they had full confidence that he could buy as many number of big houses later on.
Vijay denied renting out one of the flat under his name and insisted Vasan and Keerthi to stay with them in the same apartment.
He went to the extent of renaming it to them, but Keerthi stopped him from doing so. Without renaming it , they agreed to stay in the same house.
Days went smooth. Keerthi is now pregnant with her first child. Vasan took extra care of her and would allot time to check up on her every 1 hour. They had a grand baby shower in Keerthi's hall as per her wish.
The ceremony was a grand one with lot of laughters, songs and dance. Vasan was hell bent tired in stopping Keerthi in dancing.
She never bothered about anything and would always be casual. It is always Vasan who would worry and be precautious around her and her bump.
She made more atrocities in the name of photo poses with her bump and Vasan. At one point of time, Vasan got exhausted running around her every time.
"Photographerey... Suggest some other photo poses. And what about this lighting, is this ok?" Keerthi showed another list of poses.
"Keerthi maa... everyone are tired including him. Will take it later on " said exhausted Vasan sitting on the chair.
" no no. I am not tired yet. And how come the photographer can get tired. He is here to take the photos , let him take"
"Keerthi , you have not even had your food yet. At least have it"
"No I won't"
She saw the photographer, packing his equipment's temporarily. " hello, did I say we are done? why did you pack it? come on , start clicking photos" Keerthi shouted.
The photographer gave a stern glare at her and looked at Vasan. He then closed the shutter of his camera and took it off of him and moved away.
"indha paa , photo pudikravarey" ( hey photographer) Keerthi called him in a teasing manner
He turned slightly and gave a serious glare at her. " Enna moraikara, nee photographer dhane, vandhu photo yedu." ( What is that look for ? Click the photos since you are the cameraman)
He did not reply anything. He gave a normal look at Vasan and left the place. "Why do you want to always fight with him?" Vasan pinched her cheeks.
"oh don't support that guy. It's needed for him. In,fact I am going to ask him for a free photoshoot after my son is born"
"son ahh? no no a cute little girl , who has beauty with brains just like me. I don't want a talkative son like you"
"say whatever you want, we are going to have boy only , I am pretty sure"
"no madam. its a girl only" Vasan affirmed.
While they were fighting with silly talks, the photographer arrived with 2 plates containing food. He gave one plate to Vasan. Pulling out a chair , he sat on it , in front of Keerthi.
"For sure boy. And my son will marry his daughter. What do you say Mr?" Keerthi asked pointing to the photographer.
"Pavam di avan" (I pity him) uttered Vasan
"What is there to pity him. Not marrying any girl and always roaming with his camera"
"At least let him enjoy his life, not like me getting caught with a devil in the name of Wife"
"You call me devil? " Keerthi was munching the food on her mouth fed by her photographer and pinched Vasan hard on his arms "aah...." he winced in pain.
Tugging a small smile, the handsome photographer was feeding Keerthi. Smiling at the duo, Vasan started having his food thinking about how he met the photographer.
Milan, Italy:
The night ended with a fabulous and fantastic note for the couples in Italy. The next day morning Keerthi woke up earlier to witness her handsome husband sleeping peacefully.
He was turned to the other side with his back facing her.
Keerthi pulled him to her side and admired him. She slowly started with small smooth kisses starting from his forehead and to chin. Vasan wriggled in sleep.
"mmm. Keerthi... pls di. let me sleep"
Keerthi towered over him sitting in straddling position. She bent her head and nuzzled her nose on the crook of his neck. "keerthi..." whined Vasan and stirred in sleep.
Running her fingers sensually on his body, she started kissing him. Vasan just hugged her and let her do whatever she wanted.
He too wanted to join her, but his sleep was taking the upper hand.
Not having the expected reaction from him, Keerthi bite his neck leaving a hickey.
He opened his eyes with a pain of her bite on his neck. Vasan snaked his hands on her neck and brought her dangerously close to him.
Keerthi grinned from ear to ear for the success of her plan.
He slammed his lips on hers clutching her neck tightly. Keerthi started tracing her fingers down south on him clutching his manhood. It surely did the trick and awakened the beast lying.
Vasan groaned at her action and pressed his lips hard on her. He separated his lips from her and looked at her. With a smirk, Keerthi slowly got down from him an stepped out of the bed.
"matna di iniki.... summa irundhavana usupethi vittu enga di pora" (you have awakened the beast in me , and I am not going to spare you for that )
He caught her hands and pulled her towards him. She came back with heavy force and fell on his hard chest.
The early morning then went on with full of pleasures for them.
Later that day, they couples went for sightseeing and light shopping on the streets of Quadrilatero della moda, the biggest destination of Fashion world and luxurious brands.
As they were stomping across the Fashion Street, Vasan clicked few pics of her in his mobile in different poses.
They happened to witness a couple kissing in public accidentally. Seeing it , ignited the urge of them too kissing in public which they have not done.
Though both had same thought , no one bothered to vocal it. The duo were contemplating inside on whether the other would accept.
They walked hand in hand for few steps. Keerthi suddenly stopped and pulled his hand.
He gave a questioning look. Before he could comprehend, Keerthi tip toed and kissed him on his lips.
Smiling, Vasan, gave in to the kiss. It was a normal ,slow and soft lip kiss they both shared.
Hearing a shutter click amidst of the busy street, they broke apart to see a man with camera in his hand taking photo of them kissing .
Vasan was slightly agitated at the handsome man in front of him for taking photo. Before he could open his mouth to shout at the retracting steps of the guy, but Keerthi bet him to that.
"hey, where are you going? Take few more photos of us"
"Keerthi.. what are you talking?" Asked bewildered Vasan.
The guy halted and turned around.
"ada irunga avan edupan. edukama poiduvana avan" (wait, he will take. Where will he go without clicking photos)
"hey he seems to be Indian, so give respect. Chances are there that he might understand us." Vasan spoke in low voice.
"Let him understand. Dare him to question me" Turning to him, " hey take a full photoshoot of us for our 1st anniversary. This is the punishment for what you did"
"Keerthi ,just stop it" shushed Vasan and turned to him. "hey, dude, can you just delete the picture of us that you took?. No need of other photo session"
The photographer twitched his lips and gave a teasing look at Keerthi, showing his camera.
"dei.. mariyadhaya andha photova enkita matum kudu, frame pota, avlo dhan. Meeri senjanu vai, kalyana pecha eduthuduven" she spoke in tamil to him.
(hey, give the photo of us kissing to us only. Don't even dare to frame them. If you do so, I will start with your Marriage topic)
Vasan was bewildered. "you already know him?"
"he is my cousin. He did not even come for our marriage and left early in our engagement. So, you might not have noticed him"
Vasan had a quick intense look at the handsome man in front of him. He could find a shade of Chandran's face resemblance.
The photographer smiled and gave a firm handshake to Vasan introducing himself as "Raghu".
He then leaned near Vasan's ears and spoke" hope you had a great steamy night yesterday. waiting for good news soon".
Vasan was astonished, both at what he told and how his voice sounded deep, manly and sexy.
Coming back to his previous position, Raghu pointed fingers at him and touched his own neck, indicating the hickey on Vasan's neck.
Vasan blushed with smile. Raghu then gave his card and left the place giving them privacy, after bidding bye to them.
He saw the card. It mentioned that he is working in L'uomo Vogue as a Fashion photographer.
Turning to Keerthi , Vasan opened his mouth to clear his confusion.
"I know what you are going to ask. His mother and my father are siblings.
Likewise, my mother and his Father are siblings. In short, Give and take policy.(ponnu kuduthu ponnu eduthal). "
"hmm.. he seems to be a person with quiet confidence. He should have been a model than a photographer"
"Ya.. that silent lover, sometimes do modeling."
"Ok now I have a big question" started Vasan.
"I know what's going on in your mind. He is 2 months younger to me. So we share only brother and sister relationship.
Hence we did not marry. And don't you even think of marrying Amrita to him, he already denied it when my mom asked"
Vasan gave a shocked look at her processing this new found information.
After 3 days, the fashion festival week in Milan started to which the couples were invited.
They were given VIP pass, with the help of Raghu who invited them using PR.
Raghu was there with his camera capturing the luxuries of fashion that was presented to the vvip persons which included all the most prominent celebrities.
To the present:
Raghu finished feeding Keerthi and he too ate in the same plate. Vasan was not bothered about their relation.
So far as to what he has seen, Raghu never goes overboard in anything or with anyone. He maintains his quite demeanor.
"enna da , epo kalyanam panni, enaku ponnu pethu thara pora?" (when are you going to marry and give me a girl child?)
Raghu looked at her with his piercing eyes and smiled at her. Without answering her he left the place to wash his hand .
"He never responds to anyone and lives his own life. Mark my words. Soon he would run behind a girl who would mesmerize him, the same way he does and make him come out of his silence." Complained Keerthi.
A month later, Keerthi was blessed with baby boy. When Raghu came to meet her and the child, she quirked her eyebrows at him. "don't make my son wait for a longer time. Marry soon and give him your daughter."
With his captivating eyes, Raghu just smiled at her without answering, not knowing he is going to lose himself in the exciting ride of falling in love the immediate next week.
