Varun could spot every single important person of his life to be there screaming "Happy Birthday Varun" in the Dias. Varuns parents, friends gang, security anna, house maid Akka and even Sanjana's friends were also there.. Anyone who is part of Sanjana's life would also be important to him as well.
But Sanjana's eyes were glued to only a couple of people over there. Tears brimmed in her eyes, when she could see her parents standing there, with a pride on her face. They never failed to amaze her and she got reminded of the conversation with them a week before...
Sanjana : Hello Amma... How are you ?
Sanjana's Mom : Hi da ma... I'm doing good... How are you ?
Sanjana : Yeah amma.. I'm good... Is Appa around ? How is Appa doing... Please place the call on speakers...
Sanjana's Dad : Sollu Kannamma... Im good...How are you ?
Sanjana : Hi Appa... I'm doing good... I wanna tell you both something important...
Sanjana's Parents : Go ahead...
Sanjana : I love Varun... I dint realize the feeling to be love until I felt missing him when I came home and the following week when we couldn't meet... I know him only for a short time, but my instincts says he is the one and I believe my gut feeling... I have met his parents today... It wasn't a planned meet for me, but they had planned to see me in person... I badly missed you both...
There was a minute of silence from them....
Sanjana : Are you both mad at me ? Do you think I have misused the liberty given to me ? Talk me to something...
Sanjana's Mom : What did his parents say ?
Sanjana : Both Amma and Appa liked me a lot... They appreciated you both for the well upbringing...
A proud smile crept on her parents face, but Sanjana still felt worried as she couldn't see their expressions over the voice call... But at the same time they felt a different feeling that they haven't experienced before... Being a single child, Sanjana was all theirs so far, now that she had fallen in love, she couldn't be theirs alone. Also over these years, she hadn't addressed anyone as Amma and Appa instead of them, even her friends parents... But when she addressed Varuns parents as Amma and Appa, an unknown feeling crept in their hearts. Though they are happy that she would get a new loving family, but to share their bond name with someone else, made them feel different..
Sanjana : Amma... Appa... Ethavathu pesunga...
Sanjana's Parents : Hmmm okay... Whatever you decide, you will always have our back..
They hung up the call after not so important talks for a minute.
Sanjana felt happy that her parents supported her but at the same time, she felt bad as she could sense some discomfort in them...
But everything vanished when she could witness them standing infront of her with pure love.. They had come all the way as a surprise to Varuns party only for her happiness, which meant the world to her..
"Amma ... Appa... What a surprise", Sanjana mouthed but the voice was from Varun...
Sanjana again stood shocked...
Sanjana : Inga Enna nadakkuthu.... Na thana unakku surprise plan panninen... How do you know my parents...
Varun : I have talked to them via video call couple of days back. I knew that you would have told about our love to them, since my parents had already seen you, I wanted them to see and talk to me as well.. But their presence tonight is a surprise for me as well...
Varuns Parents : Naanga than call panni vara sonnom... We thought let it be a surprise for both of you...
Varun and Sanjana : Neengala ?
Varuns Parents : Aama Aama... Enga soon to be Sammandhi ah naanga thana invite pannanum...
Sanjana : Oh... Neenga semma fast than....But Varun... Nee en parents ah Amma Appa Na koopta?
Varun : Why not ? It's not that I did it because you called my parents the same way.. But I really meant it.. They trusted me and talked to me with love even when I was just a crush to you... Now that we would be family anytime soon, Ofcourse they are my parents as well.. I am happy to call them as Appa Amma...
Sanjana's Dad : To be frank, when I get to know that my daughter had addressed you both as Amma and Appa, I felt different, but when Varun addressed us the same way, I understood that "Love only grows by sharing, you can only have more for yourself by giving it away to others".
Sanjana felt emotional on seeing her either side, Both her parents and Varun love her unconditionally and they would do anything for her happiness.. What else a girl needs in life...
Sanjana : Thank you Amma and Appa... I felt worried since our last weeks call... Something was bothering me, but your presence today made me smile without worries... Ungalukku nejamave okay thana?
Sanjana's Parents : Double okay ma...
Sanjana's Mom : I felt some changes in your behavior when you visited us, and I guessed it should be Varun and I am glad that it is him...
Sanjana's Dad : Not a flattering talk, I am happy that you both love each other.. Romba Romba nalla paiyan... We are so happy ma...
Varun : I am so happy for this day... Thanks to you my love..🥰 (whispers)
Sanjana : Anything for you... Vaa cake cut pannalam... (whispers)
They had a great time celebrating his birthday, after cake cutting and photo sessions, Security Anna and Servant Maid Akka left to their respective shelters. Varuns friends left to their home, whereas Sanjana's friends were made to stay in the apartment guest room as it's too late to go back to the PG... Both of their parents, left down to Varuns apartment to talk leaving some private space for the love birds..
Varun : Oye...(dashing her shoulders with his)
Sanjana : Oye... (reciprocating his action)
Varun : This day is very special... Un kooda celebrate panra first birthday... En chellamma, enakkaga arrange pannina surprise birthday party...Each and every decor and the things happened today shows your love towards me... I am so happy that I have you in my life...
Sanjana : You make me go crazy for you by each passing day... She wrapped her hands around his waist and placed her heads on his chest, and felt safe in his warmth....
He hugged her back and placed his chin on her head and they remained in the same position for quite a time...
Sanjana : Can I stay a bit longer ?
Varun : Stay Forever 😍, saying he kissed her hairline 😘
