Thiraviam Pov:

"Yeah for my brother, we got a proposal. Let's see whether he will accept it or not. " I heard ajay voice on balcony.

"Mmmm"

I walked towards him.

"Ajay" I calls him.

"Anna, I.. Shivani I will call you later bye." he says.

"Did I disturbed you?" I asked him.

"No its not like that Anna. What is it Anna?"

"Mm nothing I came here to speak about the marriage. Look you should get married, just don't postponed your marriage because of me. Look, straight to the point I will not get married. I don't want you to get late for you..."

"No Anna, this is my decision. I will not get married, if you aren't going to get marry."

"Look Ajay, you should get marry. You know my past. Why are you even asking me to get marry dammit." I shouts at him literally

"Anna, please I want to see my older brother who was nothing but a caring loving brother. But now you are very different Anna."

"Do you think marrying a girl would change me?"

"No ajay. I won't. "

"Above everyone you know about me right Ajay. Then why are you torturing me like this?. This is why I have been in London for past 5 years. But now when I shifted here you again started to persuade me. Better I will be moving there aga....."

"Anna please, just give one chance Anna. Please. Its been 10 years... "

"Stop Ajay. No I can't."

"I can't" I shouts.

"Then don't ask me to get marry too, Anna. " he says.

I just walked into my room.

___________

"Yeah, am coming" I says while keeping my phone.

"Thanks Anna"

"Just don't be happy because I said yes to the marriage. If I got married to a girl is nothing but ruining her life Ajay. That's it." I says while driving the car.

"Which direction?" I asks the broker who is sitting behind.

"That way"

"Mmmm"

I parks the car only to see the shocked face of Ajay

"Ajay what happened?"

"Anna that.. I.. It... Actually its..."

"Shivani?" I asks him as I spots Shivani who is standing outside.

"Y.. Yeah, here we are?."

"Get down you both" dad says I nods at him and get down from the car.

"Don't you know it earlier ajay?" I asks him as soon I get down from the car.

"No.. I didn't seen the profile Anna. I was caught up in persuading you. In that time period, I didn't get chance to see the profile." he says whose eye is looking at Shivani.

"Ajay" She murmured his name.

"Please come inside. " I heard a old lady voice. I nods at her and walked inside their home.

"Even I didn't looked at the profile." I heard Shivani voice.

"Dad he is the one whom am loving" Shivani introduced Ajay to her dad.

"Dad she is the one..." even Ajay started to tell this to dad.

"Wow nice I think we can finish two marriage at the same time." dad said. I looked away.

"So this is my first son Thiraviam who is working in a Delta MNC company as a vice president." dad introduced me.

I nods at them for a courtesy.

Punguzhali pov:

"Atleast wear this saree" swapna says.

"Swapna, why are you also torturing me?"

"Common punguzhali, you are gonna get married for sure. Then why don't you just make yourself as appeal..."

"Stop right there swpana. Look at me, from what side I will be looking appealing even if I get read.."

"Punguzhali, what are you doing without even wearing the saree. Oh god" maa started to shout as soon as she walked into the room.

"Maa please don't torture me. I don't need this marriage at all."

"Punguzhali Please don't start again. You promised me did you forget?."

"Mumma that you got when you were not been healthy. Why are you even blackmailing my life mumma. Do you think that I will live a good life even if I get married?. How could a family accept me even after knowing about my flaws mumma?. What if..."

"No punguzhali, this time we explained everything." maa said.

I sighs.

"Who in the sane mind has accepted this proposal?" I murmurs.

"I don't have time, better just come in this attire. You look great ammu, come." with that mom took me out of my room.

"Go and serve everyone ammu." I heard maa who just gave me the plate with a full of coffee filled cups.

Without having any other choice I holded the tray and walked into the hall only to meet a many people.

My heart started to beat really fast, as its been long Tim.....

'Dont worry, after seeing you the groom and his family will surely reject you. So don't worry' I thought to myself.

I started to serve every.

First, one uncle took the coffee cup.

"Thank you" he said.

Next to him an woman is sitting. I showed her the plate.

"Thank you. " she says while taking the cup.

Followed by two male, I served them too. Okay both of them are good looking, one look bit older who is wearing a spec and another look like my sister's age.

I don't think one among both would  be a groom.

"So this is Thiraviam, he is the groom" that lady said by showing a man who might be in his late 30's.

'No way in hell'

I looked away.

'So it is gonna be very easy way. They themselves will stop the marriage atleast for my appearance.' I thought to myself.

"I want to speak with her. " I heard his voice.

I looked at my mom. Who nods at me.

"Please follow me. " I asks him.

'Okay this is good too. Maybe I will just ensure, that they he knows everything about me.'

Thiraviam pov:

I followed that woman who is none other than the bride. Okay she is not fair and lean woman. Instead a plump woman.

'Who cares. I just don't want this marriage at all. It would be better if the proposal got cancelled somehow. I just don't want to break any woman heart.' I thought to myself.

"Please have your seat. " I head her voice.

"It's fine." I said and stood before her.

After that only a silence remains in the room.

"I don't want to get married."

"I don't want this marriage" we both said at same time.

I looked at her.

"What?"

"What?" again we both asked at the same time.

"Please go on. " she said to me.

I nods at her.

"I don't know whether you know about me or not. Let me give me my bio data." I stops

She nods at me.

"Look, this is not my first marraige. I hope you knew about it." I says to her.

She nods as no.

"No, I don't know about you any thing. " she said to me with a straight face.

"Oh okay."

"Are you a divorcee?. " she questioned  me.

"No a widow. " I says by looking away.

"Am sorry. "

I nods at her.

"I can't give the place of my Shreya to someone else. She will be my only wife to me ever."

"Then why in the earth your family is sitting here in my house?." she asks me.

Okay I haven't spoked with someone like this. I mean straight to the point.

"Look, for my brother. For the past  month he is torturing me to get me married. So then only he will get marry or else he won't."

"Oh" she says.

"Yeah"

"Better look for other girl, so that your brother will say yes for his marriage. Or else he will remain as unmarried. " she says.

"He is loving a girl who is nothing but your sister, Shivani" I said.

"What?"

"Don't you know, Ajay?" I asks her. I mean I know Shivani, so the same should be for her right. If not knowing me, atleast she should be knowing him right.

"No I don't know him. All I know is she is loving someone that's it." she says.

"Mmmm."

"Why don't you wanted to get married?." I asks her.

"Don't you know about me?" she asks me.

"No, even I too didn't asked about your profile."

She nods at me.

"Are you a divorcee or a widow?"

"I don't think that's your concern."

"You are right."

"But I could use any of your reason to stop this marraige right. Like you know you will not accept me even after you get married to me, you will not able to forget your late or first husband or something. " I says. I literally don't want to get married.

She looked at me for sometime. And turned away from me.

"It you don't want to, you don't have to share."

After sometime she looked at me.

"I haven't got married before hand." she says to me.

"What?" I aksed her.

"Then why are you marrying me. Look if we both end up together. I will be first husband. But in case of me you will be my second wife. How and why your family is arranging something kiek this..." she cut me off.

"It's because I have a Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome. " she said.

"What?"

"I said I have a MRKH syndrome."

"I heard that part. Am asking you what is it meant? "

She looked into my eye and took a breath.

"That means I have a problem with my reproductive system."

"I don't understand."

"Okay let me put it straight. I don't have a uterus and I have a under developed vagina. Now did you understood it?"

I opened and closed my mouth.

"So it mean..." I stopped without Knowing how to ask.

"Yeah it means, I can't bear a child in my lifetime. Did you get it now?. So yeah that's why my family I mean this society and my dad thought that am unsuitable for a first marraige with a groom. So yeah... " she said me with a straight face.

"Don't you know about it?. My mumma said that she already informed everyone."

"Actually I didn't wanted to know about you that's why." I says to her.

"Mmmm. "

"I think you can go and ask your family. Even you can even fight with your family with this matter and you could easily drop this marraige. " she says.

"One thing, make sure your brother won't leave my sister. I just want their marraige to happen." I says to him.

"I think if we don't have anymore thing to discuss, we both should be going out. But don't forget to say no to this marraige." she says.

I nods at her.

I looked at her for one more time before walking out of the room.

Punguzhali pov:

"We all will be get going now. Will call you soon. " his dad says.

"Atlast" I says to swapna.

As soon as they all gone, I walked inside the room with Swapna.

"Girl, he is very good looking" swapna says

I rolled my eyes.

"So what?" I asks her

" May I know what you both were conversed together? "

"Nothing I just informed him that am a barren."

"Kuzhali why are you speaking like this?"

"What is it swapna?. That's am right." I says to get.

"I think we both should be get going to hospital." I says to her.

"Thanks papa am so happy. " I heard Shivani's voice. As even my family and his family talked about their marriage too.

"You did informed everything right chatrupathi?" I heard mom voice who is speaking with broker.

"What if he accepts you even after knowing you kuzhali?" swapna asks me.

"No worries, he is a widow. Who is already don't want to get married. Am damn sure this marraige will not happen he will stop for sure."

"But don't worry, for sure my sister marraige will happen." I says.

"What if he.."

"Stop babe." I says to her whiem boarding the bus.

"I wish you also feel what is love."

"No swapna. Am not meant for it. Am nothing but a unfortunate woman who is just a woman in name. Nothing else." I says while looking away.
