Chapter 1 - Nethra
"Amma na white top ekkada "
Eroju chala special anduk I want everything to be perfect.
"Almara lo chudu. Iron chesi akade petta!"
White and Blue, ee combination ante arun ki chala istam. Infact I was wearing the same dress the first time we met.
Arun Subramanyam , IIT graduate from Chennai, ipudu civils ki prepare avthunnadu.
It all started one rainy day on the busy roads of Hyderabad. Friends tho kalisi aaroju movie chusi intiki tirigivelthunnanu. Varsham lo almost antha thadichipoyam. Nadusthu unte all of a sudden okathanu venaka nunchi parigeduthu vachi nannu guddadu. Slip ayyi kindaki padipothunna time ki he caught hold of my hand. Our eyes met.... A shock in my face, a smile on his face.
"What the hell are u doing? Are you blind? Can’t u see us?"
I shouted at him.Kopam ekkuvaina, prema ekkuvaina ammailaki English vachesthadi. Kani aa time lo kopam vachindi ani anukunna.
"oh oh oh cool. I am sry. Its my mistake."
Nenu thanani kopam ga chusi, akada nunchi velipoyanu.
"Excuse me." Thanu pilichadu..
"Enti?"
“ E dress meeru chala bagunnaru. Exaggeration anukokapote angel la unnaru. Idi correct time oo, correct place oo naku telidu. Malli mimmalni kalusathano ledho guarantee ledu. Anduk ipude ee kshaname konchem kastamaina dairyam chesukuni adigesthunna..," WILL U MARRY ME?" Take time. Ippude cheppakarledu. And positive ga reply ivvalani ani force kuda em cheyanu. I am Arun Subramanyam, its my fb profile name too. You can get my details there even my number. Nachitene just ping me.”
"Are u crazy?"
"I am crazy about you”
Ala cheppi thanu akada nundi vellipoyadu. Ipati dhaka chala mandi abbayilu propose chesaru kani Arun matram different. Ventane na childhood friend Anand ki call chesi ee vishayam cheppanu. First joke chesthunna anukunnadu tarvata he understood the seriousness in it. Inni years nunchi kalisi thiruguthunnam he knows what I am.. Na mood swings ni understand cheskune only person “Anand”. Konchem alochinchadu, inka tarvata arun arun ani nannu tease cheyatam start chesadu. I started blushing. I don’t know why!!

Phone ring ki I came back to my senses. Its Anand. Nannu pick chesukotaniki vasthunnadu. "Hello madam… Me make up lu ayipote start avdam. Papam anthala premisthunadu, make up lu eskuni endhuku mosam chestav” thana usual teasing tone lo annadu.

"Amma velthunna nenu"
"Twaraga vachey.. Vellemundu door close chesi po " kitchen nundi amma arichi mari cheppindi.
After a month of teasing I was going to meet Arun to accept his proposal. I was going to surprise him!. Door close chesi lift daggaraku vellanu. Asusual ga lift door evado kinda close cheyatam marchipoyadu. So chachinattu steps digi vellali ipudu. Malli phone ring avthundi. Malli anand phone. "I'm coming . Lift door evado mahanubhavudu close cheyaledu kindhana. Steps digi vasthuna ", ani cheppi phone cut chesi fast fast ga steps digutunna.
Evaro okathanu black mast veskuni na kinda nundi okkasariga na vaipu vachadu. Edo liquid lantidi na meeda posi vellipoyadu. Asalem jarigindho telusukune lope, na face antha burn avvtam start ayindi. Antha kanthaku neppu peruguthundi. I started loosing my senses and darkness started to conquer my world. Naku vinipinchina chivari maatalu amma gattiga help ani aravatam. Naku gurthunna last thing Anand nannu thana chethullo teeskuni thana car vaipu vellatam. And then I saw nothing but darkness. Chikati lokaniki vellakunda nenu chesina poratam lo nenu odipoyanu. Chivariki aa evaru leni, emi kanipiyyani aa chikati lokanike nenu vellanu.
