2. THE PROPOSAL

"Pure love is perfect bliss in disguise"

It's hard to find a person who loves you truely from the bottom of their heart ! Satyanarayana met his first love Jyothi ar the temple . . when we try to express our love sometimes it gets too late and we loose it .

Devotees visiting the temple always wished for their successful life but satyanarayana dreamed of a luxurious life without any struggle .While, on the other hand Jyothi longed for her graduation although she was aware of her father's restrictions . but still she believes in her mother .Lakshmi always taught her daughter to dream high and struggle hard to make it true .

Jyothi closed her eyes and kept praying to grant her a graduate life so that her father's name would be written in gold. She threw the flower and steps towards the age old banyan tree and sits there in peace deeply thinking of the weird family and age old tradition.

satyanarayana gazes at Jyothi and gets deviated into his imagination. while Jyothi was waiting for Satya under the Banyan tree with ladoo and flowers to offer after her prayers . Satya regains his senses and realizes his mistake of being an introvert .

Satya had an ocean of unexpressed feelings and lots of love stored in his tiny heart , eagerly waiting to bump it out on his only love Jyothi . Well! it's hard to express our love in words but still Satya didn't stop to dream about being a successful business man .

Satya's uncle Krishnan always kept satya's zeal on fire . Krishnan loved the attitude of Satya and he never liked to be mentioned as a family member of Mr .Murthy . Satya keeps thinking about Jyothi .

.The moonlight focused in the garden made the little rose plant even more beautiful . The shine of uncountable stars in the dark sky boosted satya's unexpressed love towards Jyothi .

He sits in the garden sipping his coffee mug. Lakshmi calls Satya to dine with t Krishnan .

.

"Satya, "Satya!" can't you even hear me ? . Can't you feel my presence here ? What made you loose your sense Satya? . satyanarayana grows heavy hearted and expresses his unconditional love for Jyothi.

Mrs Lakshmi gives a bright cheerful smile to Satya and questions him -" Satya! didn't you make an attempt to ever express your love?" . Satyanarayana sits down on the floor and makes a sad expression . "Oh no! Don't dare to say me Satya . You made a attempt but lost it "

mom! "I ... I... " . "What do you mean by I . satyanarayana? You just give up on Jyothi because she is well mannered girl and belongs to Deepa's family . Your aunt will never agree for your marriage alliance Satya.

Remember Satya.. If your dad gets enlightened on your love . Your graduation life would be miserable . "Ma..! I can't give up on my love. ma!" If you can't understand me Amma will definitely understand my .... Satya leaves the garden and searches for his amma .

"Amma.. Amma .! It's me Satya " .

Get in my apple ! "Well ! I can see grief in your eyes "

"Amma . I..I... "

hmm.. I understand Satya . Come let's sit in my room .

speak out my apple . Look around there's no other third person among us. You have perfect privacy satya !

He laughs aloud and expresses his love for Jyothi daughter of Mr Murthy . ."Amma ! Mom cannot even support me she only cares of her friendship with Swaroopa Aunt .."

"My dear apple .. Satya! If you can't forget your love ..Hm.... you have to dare to express your unconditional love "

Satya thinks of doing it as so and jumps out in ultimate excitement just like a frog in rainy season .. He smiles like a spring flower and sleeps on the coconut mat .

The next morning Satya gets a idea and executes his idea .. He stays silent throughout the breakfast time . Lakshmi gets aware of Satya's gestures and stops him to go out for another 5 hours .

The phone bell rings .

Krishnan calls out loudly-. "Satya ! pick up the call " .

"Hello. This os Deepa .May I speak to Lakshmi ?"

Satya finds the phone call a right time to escape out from the Lakshmi Nova's." Well! aunt . is busy in cleaning the house .Just hold on I will call her "

"Mom... It's Deepa aunt on the phone call '. He hears a Lakshmi from a distance . " Will be there in a moment "

Satya jumps out and sits near the beach . While everyone were asleep.. Satya quietly enters the Murthy house ..He finds out the exact location of Jyothi's room . He craves his love on the mirror and escapes out as if he did nothing .

morning 6 am Jyothi' dresses herself in a pink saree and sits in front of the mirror to tie her hair . Jyothi could see something red mark on the mirror She steps towards the mirror drying her hair with a towel .

"I want to meet you at the temple again ! But trust me Jyothi this time I'm not going to make you wait for hours "

. Huh! Not Again ! . "hmm.. Amma what's this who could do it ?" .

Amma asks Jyothi to offer money to the priest when you go to the temple buy two coconuts and marigold rose flowers and offer it .

"You will review a good gentle man with a rose

Amma..You will never stop pulling my leg ! Jyothi leaves for her Monday offering thinking about the good gentle man puzzle.

Jyothi remembers the words written on the mirror and gets surprised to see Satya sitting under the same banyan tree . Satya takes a deep breath and settles down on his knees with a cheerful smile and says -" My love.. Will you be my support system and marry me ?"

"I ..?" Satya! i never experienced this ! It's like a messed up puzzle .. but still i need a break Satya . I'm too young and I want to complete my graduation atleast

"ok .I understand the struggle of a girl to fulfill her deeams.. Anyways I will await fir your response even after 5 year's of our study"

Satya leaves the temple in tears and Sits near the beach . Still thinking of his career and his only love .
