Chara grimaced, closing her eyes slightly causing Raghav to frown. He smiled and loudly welcomed an actor and his family causing Chara to quickly morph her face into a smile.
She thanked the actor's wife and posed for the picture. Preethi raised her eyebrows as she walked towards Chara holding a cup of juice and a knowing smile.
Chara exhaled her breath and turned around slightly as she grabbed the juice and gulped it down. Preethi chuckled and used a tissue to pat Chara's face.
Chara smiled and thanked her before walking back towards Raghav. Raghav gave her a slight frown before introducing her to his collagemates.
" Yen yennachu unake ?" Raghav muttered as they smiled for a pic.
" Nethu night saptathu thaan...athan pasi," Chara whispered back causing Raghav to exhale his breath.
He raised his eyebrows as he saw Ram rushing up the stage with a plate. Raghav shook his head amusedly as the boy intercepted the guest and stood infront of Chara with an impish smile.
" Charu ka one bite and then you can pose for the photo," Ram said with a sweet smile causing Raghav to snort before nodding at the guest.
He talked to the guests and thanked them while Chara bend down slightly and opened her mouth. Ram grinned and feed her a chicken piece before moving away to the background. Chara then stood up and Raghav nudged her ribs causing her to stop chewing as they posed for the picture.
" Pesame guests ah stop panna solirlama ?" Raghav asked Chara who shook her head.
" No...nammala matichi vanturukanga...athu parale...tho Preethi juice yedutu vara solluva ?" Chara asked Raghav who pursed his lips.
" Yendi unake pasikithu naa sonna née yeneke kekuriya...seri apidiye iru," Raghav said as they awaited for the guests.
He glanced around and spotted Tonya who nod her head and walked up the stairs. Chara thanked her friends who showed up and exchanged short pleasantries while she hand the presents to Preethi who placed them at the back while Raghav whispered something to Tonya who promptly nod and walked away.
Chara introduced her college friends to Raghav who smirked slightly and nod his head. Her friends teased Chara slightly and posed for a picture before shaking Raghav's hand and walked away.
" Boss...madam you guys rest first...I told the event manager who told the guests to eat first and then come and greet you...Shall I bring something up or -" Tonya began when Chara shook her head.
" It's OK...Tonya can you see if attai mama and all have eaten? Or not ask them to join ?" Chara told Tonya who smiled and nod her head.
" Seri vaa poi sapdalam," Raghav said and held her hand as they walked down the stage to the bride and groomed reserved table.
Chara smiled as Tonya brought Mihira and Yantra alongside Thara and Aaryn with Kishan. She looked at Thara who smiled softly.
" Vaa maa sapdalam mothele," Thara said nudging Chara to sit down. The remaining three seats were filled with Dhanush, Mr Achutha and Dr Mehta causing Chara to smile. She blinked when Arvind and Venkat walked to their table and began serving the food alongside the twins and Akash.
Raghav shook his head as he watched Ram's mischievous smile as the boy placed one rasagulla and ran away. Thara and Aaryn exchanged soft smiles seeing Ram's antics while Raghav complained to Chara who rolled her eyes.
" Ithe yepidi share panrathu!" Raghav told Chara who shrug her shoulder and grabbed the rasagulla before eating the whole thing herself. Mihira and Thara hide the smiles while the menfolk laughed seeing Raghav's affronted look.
