Hey
Nice to see your message

*Gugan*
Just woke up?

*Aditi*
Yes sometime back

*Gugan*
I understand anyway it is weekend

*Aditi*
So what are you doing? Presume you must have taken your breakfast

*Gugan*
Yeah... Finished sometime back

*Aditi*
What's cooking?

*Gugan*
You mean what I made for breakfast?

*Aditi*
Yeeesssss....

*Gugan*
After days I made Idly today with Sambar

*Aditi*
Yummyyyy. Are you an Idly fanatic?

*Gugan*
Not really... but bored having bread daily. Was free being a weekend and so made it.

*Aditi*
Did you learn cooking when you were here at Chennai?

*Gugan*
I did learn some basics and for the rest will reach out to mom through video call

*Aditi*
Good to know. Aunty cooks well?

*Gugan*
Mom prepares really well. Major missings after I came here.

*Aditi*
Even I prefer to have only mother's food but mostly Dosa. Yummyyyy

*Gugan*
You know to cook?

*Aditi*
I know but I don't often. Haha...

*Gugan*
I doubt

*Aditi*
Hey... You better taste my food and comment

*Gugan*
Chill

*Aditi*
Coming Maa...

*Gugan*
I don't get you

*Aditi*

Wait... Wait... Wait... Let me brush and have my breakfast else mom will keep shouting. Will catch up in some time.

*Gugan*

*Aditi*
I am back.
Still there?

03 July, 09:44

*Gugan*
Yeah. Tell me.

Finished having your Dosa?

*Aditi*
Yes
But wait... How did you know I had only Dosa?

*Gugan*
As if it is a secret. You just told you like only Dosa and moreover, you are staying with your parents. Is it hard to figure out?

*Aditi*
Haha... Looks like you are missing home

*Gugan*
Yeah a lot

*Aditi*
Then even you should have chosen to stay here itself.

*Gugan*
Regretting it now but fine
Will be back by early next year. Counting my days.

*Aditi*
Hey... Don't use such phrases. Just say you are waiting to reach home. You should never utter certain phrases in life.

*Gugan*
Sorry madam. Counting my days to reach home. Is this fine?

*Aditi*
Slightly better. You still need to be groomed on your choice of words.

*Gugan*
I think it should no longer be an issue with you by my side.

*Aditi*
And yeah... I forgot to ask... Did you get the news?

*Gugan*
On what?

*Aditi*
Our wedding engagement

*Gugan*
Yeah mother was saying she was planning to check with the astrologer for a good date this month. She told me yesterday but have not spoken to her after.

*Aditi*
That's fine. They have finalized the date as July 15

*Gugan*
Whaaatttt? So soooonnnn....
Hardly two weeks left and how did you agree to this?

*Aditi*
I did not have a choice. Moreover, I was fixed to marry you. Earlier the better.

*Gugan*
Hardly few mails and you have decided?

*Aditi*
I have decided even before your first mail. These conversations were to create a good impression about me on your mind. Hope you are happy to be hitched with me.

*Gugan*
I am perfectly fine. Was in a misconception till date...
Just leave it.

*Aditi*
Complete your sentence Gugan. Can't wait.

*Gugan*
Looks like you are always in a hurry. Allow life to flow in its own way.

*Aditi*
Oh! Is it? Will remember sir.

*Gugan*
Fine will go and prepare my lunch. Bye.

*Aditi*
Hey Hey... Finish it and go
