Chinamma - Aara, I want to ensure for one last time.Are you happy with this marriage right?

Aaradhana (controlling her tears) - Yes chinamma , I am happy.

Chinamma - shall I talk with Arjun or Poorva once?

Aaradhana - No chinamma. Arjun wants to marry Rupali. He asked me to inform that he will pick me and you to his house.He'll announce it officially.

Chinamma - Dear, are you ok?

Aaradhana - Yes chinamma, I am super happy for him. I couldn't marry the person I loved, atleast he is able to marry the person he loved. I am happy as long as he is happy.

Chinamma - Dear, ...

Aaradhana - I have a meeting chinamma, can you tell karmegam to go with us in evening.

Chinamma - I will tell him dear.Take care

(call ends)

Aaradhana couldn't control her tears anymore. She goes to the restroom ,opens the water pipe and starts to cry

(Aaradhana gets Arjun call.She cuts it)

Aaradhana - Why Arjun? Why are giving me this punishment. I loved you all these years. It was very difficult for me to bring you and Rupali close in college . Now you are asking me to take responsibility of yours and Rupali marriage. Why are you making things even more difficult for me? Even if you killed me with your own hands, I'll not get hurt like this. But you are giving me a punishment which is worser than death. Why Arjun? Why?

(Arjun called her thrice all these while and she cuts all the time)

(Aaradhana gets Arjun's call for the 4th time.This time she answers)

Arjun - Aaradhana ,where are you? Is everything alright?Why am I getting busy tone from your phone?

Aaradhana (in mind) ,"He should not know that you were crying at any cost.".

Aaradhana - Nothing Arjun, Karmegam called me ,we were busy in chatting.I also asked him to come to your house at evening.

Arjun who didn't expect this, thinks, "How dare you Aaradhana, you ignored my call because of that Karmegam" .He then thinks , " Arjun you should not get angry on her like this. She has all rights to talk with her fiance in private "

Arjun - Sorry for disturbing you guys.

Aaradhana - No problem Arjun .Tell me

Arjun - come to my cabin. We have to take points for my next meeting.

Aaradhana - Sure

( She then washed her face. Applied light make up to hide her bulged eyes. she then enter Arjun cabin)

Arjun think, ,"she just talked to her fiance in phone.Still she applied make up . What a show off love.Look how her eyes are shining because of make up.

Arjun - What did your fiance say? will he join us in evening?

Aaradhana - Yes

(Aaradhana and Arjun finishes the meeting)

(Arjun with Aaradhana reaches Aaradhana apartment in evening to pick up chinamma.)

Arjun to Aaradhana's chinamma- Athai , Are you ready . Shall we leave ?

Aaradhana - Chinamma, where is Karmegam

(Arjun gets pissed off as she started asking about her fiance as soon as entering home)

Arjun (in irritated voice) - Why are asking your chinamma ? He is your fiance right? You must know about him. You informed him right?

Aaradhana - I informed him.But I don't know..

Arjun - You don't know what? Is he coming with us or not?

Aaradhana - Why are shouting all of a sudden ?

Arjun- What ? I am not shouting .But you are..

Chinamma - stop you both. Why are fighting for a silly matter. Now listen Karmegam said he has some important case to deal with in court. So he'll visit Arjun's family later.

(Chinamma .. Sighed out of relief seeing them stopping their fight)

Chinamma- Arjun Dear, shall we leave now?

Arjun apartment

Arjun - Amma, Where is appa? I want to make one announcement .

Poorva - He went to visit his friend. He'll be coming in an hour. Tell me what announcement you are going to make?

Arjun (in irritated tone)- I'll announce when appa comes.

Poorva - Ok tell us when your appa comes. What's the need to get irritated for that?

( she then takes other ladies to her room and they chat for a while)

Arjun laid on sofa getting exhausted.

Poorva room

Poorva - Rani, What's wrong with him today? Was he like this the whole day?

Aaradhana - No athai, he was good in office.

But while we went home to pick up

chinamma, he started fighting with me.

Chinamma - Don't blame Arjun alone.You shouted first at him. I am the witness

Aaradhana - You cannot side with that Mr. Arrogant Beast.

(Poorva and Anitha could'nt control their laughter and laughed)

Poorva - What ? What did you call him ? Mr . Arrogant Beast? But why?

Anitha (keeping angry face)- Aaradhana .You cannot him Mr. Arrogant Beast. You know he is such a caring brother.

Aaradhana - He acts as Mr. Mother Teresa in front of you people. But in office , he orders everyone with his cold face. So people started calling him Mr. Arrogant. He started giving orders to me like Beast showing his authority to his servants. For others he shows only his Mr. Arrogant face. But he will show both Mr. Arrogant and Mr Beast face while giving me orders to me.

(Other ladies started laughing on hearing this)

Arjun who was sleeping all this while,woke up on hearing their noise

Arjun ( becomes Mr. Arrogant Beast)- Can't you guys talk slowly. People are sleeping here.

Aaradhana - Not all were sleeping. Only you were sleeping. And who will sleep at 8pm?

Arjun - You ....

(Other ladies laugh on seeing their fight)

Arjun- Amma tell her to stay silent. I don't want to argue with her.

(Suddenly Ananad comes)

Anand - Why are you shouting Arjun ? What happened

Arjun - Appa you also...There is no use in proving myself innocent.

Common scold me... Anyways you'll side your Rani only. No one will trust me .

(Arjun murmurs - It's all because of you fatty,I'll not leave you)

Anand- Poorva ,what happened to him?

Poorva - Ok . Now everyone calm down. Arjun now your father is here. Tell us what you want to announce.

(Arjun and Aaradhana becomes disappointed at once)

Arjun - Amma , You gave one day time to think about my marriage right? I am going to talk about that. And Aaradhana also supports my decision. Am I right Aaradhana ?

Aaradhana - Yes .

Poorva- Tell me who are you going to marry?

Arjun- I am going to marry....

Aaradhana.

Poorva - What?

Arjun - Amma it's not what you think, I want Aaradhana to tell about the person whom I am going to marry. Tell everyone Aaradhana.

Aaradhana - How can I? It's about your marriage? You should tell

Arjun- You can't tell ? or You not wish to tell?

Aaradhana - Why are you fighting for a silly thing Arjun.As it's about your marriage I thought you should tell. Since you insisted I'll tell

Arjun - Not necessary . I'll tell myself.

Aaradhana - No I will, Listen everyone Arjun likes to marry..

Arjun - Can you stop it. I will only tell. I like to marry

Aaradhana - No ....

Poorva- can you stop your Tom and Jerry fight. Rani you tell me.

Arjun - Pzzzzh. Still you are asking her. I am your son , but you listen to her.

Poorva - Arjun.....

Arjun - Ok fine.I will be quiet. Ms.Rani please continue

Aaradhana - athai, anitha,mama, chinamma The person Arjun likes to marry is...

Arjun - Ru...pa..li. Why are taking time in saying ' Rupali 'name.

Aaradhana - When did I take time? You told her name before I could tell

Arjun - Ok. Proceed ahead. There are still things left.

Aaradhana - What? I told you like to marry Rupali right. What should I tell more.

Arjun ( as Mr. Arrogant Beast) - How could you forget soon. Eat more ladies finger to boost your memory power.

Aaradhana - What???

Arjun - Forget I 'll tell myself. Amma, Aaradhana wants my marriage to be held first. She likes to take care of all arrangements.

(Aaradhana in mind- You asked me to convince them as you can't wait to make Rupali as your wife. Now you changed the whole scenario. You know what you can become a good actor. Hates off to you Mr.Arrogant Beast.)

(Everyone gets shocked on hearing this)

Chinamma -Why didn't you inform me about this?

Arjun - Athai, it's not her fault. It's normal for a person to wish to take care of all the arrangements in his/her friend marriage. Even Aaradhana wished the same.

(Chinamma sees Aaradhana becoming upset)

Aaradhana - Yes chinamma, I like to take all the responsibility in Arjun marriage.

(Everyone gets disappointed on hearing her answer, even Arjun got disappointed)

Poorva - Ok. If this is your wish, And if you both get happy with this decision, no one will object. Everyone wants you both to be happy. So when can we go to Rupali house to confirm the marriage.

Arjun (as Mr Arrogant Beast)- Aaradhana, What's your opinion? When can we go to Rupali house to confirm the marriage?

Poorva - Arjun ,This is not your office. Why are you showing your authority over her in home?

Arjun- Amma , Not again... She just said that wants to take care of all arrangements in my marriage. so I asked her.

Aaradhana - Athai, I didn't feel bad of his behaviour. Lets discuss with astrologer and fix a good date. Good talk should begin in an auspicious date.

Arjun- As you wish .I'll do everything as you say.

(Everyone becomes upset on listening their conversation)
