The Reddys took some time to digest the shock come surprise.It was a pleasant one.Vikram and Satya break into smiles.Lata and Shivani soon followed their lead.Shivani looked at Ramya and then Varna back to back.Without blinking her eyes.Same was the case with Lata.

Lata whispered to her without making it audible to anyone.

L-"Akka.This has given rise to big confusion.Whom should we select for our Vivaan.The one sitting or the one who came now."

Sh-"Shh.Lets taken an interview then will decide whose best for my son."

Lata shook her head as Shivani frowned her brows and kept looking at the girls.

Varna joined them after a brief introduction.Vikram was trying to remember something.And it finally came his mind.

Vik-"Varna.Shetty.Wait a second.You were the one who fixed this deal with our company if Iam not wrong?"

Varna played with her hands.Ramya was sitting having her eyes glued to Vivaan.Vivaan was still in shock.Frowning his face.Before Varna could answer Prakash jumped in.

P-"Yeah.She takes care of my business.Anyways I think we should leave topic of business now.Or else can see my sister already showing me her eyes."

All laughed.Except Varna who had her head down.She knew why topic was avoided.The one sentence from her father hit her hard.My business.So its his business and she is just being care taker for that.This is always the case.

She got a grip on herself and then her eyes shifted on the man.Who was still in standing position.She smirked and then looked at her sister Ramya who had dumb grin on her face.

Karuna asked both the girls to check if lunch preparations were done.

V-"Ramya come."

Varna maintained the calm smile despite of her wish to drag her sister out from there.Ramya wouldnt blink her eyes which Vivaan noticed.Varna had to drag her stealing everyones eye and Vivaan noticed that.

He then took a sit.And looked at the sisters getting out of his view.

V-"What a mess.I need to get out of this."

He watched his family having good time with the Shettys and caught his head.

..............................................................................................

Ramya shrieked in pain gripping her shoulder.Varna had to pinch her there.They were in the kitchen.Food was being served.

V-"Whats wrong with you.Ramyaa."

Ramya rubbed her shoulder and then tried to peep outside.Varna blocked her view.Facing her with stern face.

R-"What.?

He looks so dreamy.Varnaaa.Do you know.He is the same guy who."

V-"Shut up.and listen to me.You are going to say a straight NO for this.Iam not letting you get married to this egoistic,mad and arrogant guy.A pathetic flirt.Hear me?"

Varna flared her nostrils and left.Ramya stood like a statue all confused with her sister's outburst.

All were seated on lunch table.Having random conversation.Both families bonded well in short time.Prakash was already decided on his mind they would be perfect for Ramya and Vivaan impressed him in first meeting.The more he talked with him and he sounded like a smart,good hearted and intelligent guy.What more can he ask for the apple of his eye.

Varna and Ramya were sitting next to each other.Ramya hardly focused on her plate or food.She was stealing glances of Vivaan.Whereas Varna glared at her acts.She nudged Ramya making her cough hard.

Vivaan was sitting opposite to them.He passed the glass of water to Ramya but before that Varna gave her sister her own glass.Not leaving the chance to glare at Vivaan.He made a face and continued shooting daggers at this act of hers.

This did not miss eyes of Karuna.She kept others busy offering the dishes and serving one or other.

Shivani looked at Varna and scanned her overall.Be it her features or the personality.She found it impressive.Also the concern she was showing for her sister.The way she handled her.She figured out among the two sisters Varna was mature one.

Sh-"You have beautiful daughters.No doubts on that.But it must be confusing at times.To figure out."

K-"Yeah.Can be difficult when they plan to.But yes.Both may have same faces and features but a complete different personality.I tell you when they were small used to play such pranks.Both.Ramya was a bit sober but Varna.What holds them together is the bond.So strong and affectionate."

Sh-"Can see that.

So.Tell us something more about yourself.Ramya?"

Ramya choked on her food.Varna understood she would fumble out of nervousness now.She asked her to relax.Through the eye contact.

R-"Mee?What.What should I say?

Aththai."

Karuna gave an embarrasing smile whil eothers burst out laughing.They took no time to get the innocent nature of Ramya.While the conversation continued.

After lunch the men decided to settle in hall.The ladies were accompanied by Karuna taking a tour of their bungalow.

L-"You have such a beautiful house.Akka is already in love with the interiors.And so am I."

K-"Thank you.Please come this way."

Karuna smiled and kept her eyes glued to way waiting for the twins.They were out of sight after lunch.When Shivani's eyes fell on the paintings hung on the wall.

Sh-"This looks impressive.Brilliant.Who painted them?"

K-"Ramya.She loves painting.From childhood it was her hobby to sketch whatever comes her mind.And with time she got better.Few days ago she had exhibition of few paintings for some chairty show.Contributed the money after selling there."

L-"Bunch of talent.Right Akka."

Shivani gave a nod and then showed interest to know more about Ramya.

K-"Ramya has been homely person from before.Cooking,painting,singing,dancing and taking care of her own things.This house.Its her hobby.No matter how many helpers we got she wont let anyone touch a thing.When she has mind to cook.Or do something.A bit shy in nature but naughty inside.She doesnt know when to say what.But.She knows how to spread love and her smile has been keeping this house so lively."

Lata and shivani exchanged smiles.

........................................................................

Vivaan excused himself after getting a call and went to garden.He was done with the call and when turned around.Found the very person he wanted to avoid till he was there.Just to control his inner feelings and wish to strangle her.Reason he didnt knew.

Varna folded her arms across her chest blocking his way.He tried to leave she didnt let him.

Var-"Why are you doing this.You think I dont understand."

Vivaan frowned his brows and looked at her.She sounded reasonably arrogant.

V-Sorry?"

Var-"Dont act as if you dont know anything.Trying to be smart MR Reddy.?"

Vivaan folded his arms in same manner and spoke.

V-"If that makes you believe Ms Shetty.Then I am smart.Any doubts on that."

Var-"Huh that I knew from beginning.A shrewd and arrogant smart guy that you are."

V-"I beg your pardon.At the moment I am not interested to engage in any conversation with you.Specially at your own house and.Knowing well.How you were fooling me all this while.Huh smart.Know who played smartly."

Var-"Excuseme?What are you trying to say.Who played what."

V-"Talk to my hand."

He turned his back to her leaving her shocked.He felt better not facing her.

Var-"I will break that hand and legs of yours if you.Even think of doing what you intend to do."

V-"Thats great.You know my intention also.Genius."

Var-"I am not joking.Listen.All these tricks might be profitable for you in business.But not for me.Because I love my sister more than my life and can go to any extent to protect her.Mind you."

V-"Are you done.?My ears be blessed."

She tried to touch his shoulders and he shot her a look.

V-"What do you think of yourself Ms Shetty?That I am a dumb and third class person.With no eye cue and yes.You did make me feel like a fool.All this while you were fooling me right?Playing around.You never mentioned you have a look alike.Did you?"

Var-"Twin sister."

V-"Whatever.

So.You are accusing me with such heavy words now.Then where were these protective instincts and moral of yours when you sent this proposal for me?Or wait.You had this on mind.To trap me from one side and then get your sister married to me.How can she be different to you.Bot have everything same so she must be as cunning as you are."

Var-"Just shut up.I dint knew that my family is awaiting you and your family.Else would have never dared to consider.An idiot.First place.What makes you think I will consider for myself or even ramya Huh."

V-"What did you just say?"

Var-"Idiot.Yeah."

V-"Have never seen arrogant girl like you."

Var-"Thank you and I would wish I never have privilege to meet you ever.Again.Now hear my words.Say NO for this.Actually wait who are you to reject.I am rejecting you first place.enough with this drama.You had lunch and good time.Now should find way for your home and never return back."

V-"Feel so honored to hear that.You think I would ever wish to be here again?In my life."

While the duo were busy on their war of words.Ramya came running from other side.Vivaan'a back facing her.Both Varna and Vivaan were pointing fingers at each other.

R-"Varnaaaaaaaa.

Varnaa."

Varna heard her sister's voice and her eyes widened as she found her next second banging to the hard wall.Vivaan getting a hold on her before she banged with him and was about to fall.He held her on time balancing her in his arms.His one hand on her waist and giving her a weird look.

Varna was fuming red.Ramya trying to catch her breath at same time lost in Vivaan's eyes.

Var-"Ramya."
