D and his clan were getting ready to leave to Bangalore. R who had come to send them off was made to assist in chores.He was atop the bus fastening their luggages to the carrier cursing under his breath.

R: Huff... puff... I came to send him off look what he has made me do... just for an engagement they've folded the entire house, packed it into luggages and made me carry it to the top of the bus. Sob...sob...

KRG: Reyy, what's taking so long ra? There are another 10 more suitcases. When will you finish taking it all to the top ? We have to leave. Be quick !

R: Another 10 suitcases ah ?? Huh... uh...I'm one person doing it all peddananna... it will take time...send someone for help no...

KRG: Grown to the height of a building and you can't do this much ??At your age you know how much I could do ? I used to single-handedly carry three large suitcases at a time, climb the bus and tie to the carrier. You boys these days spend hours at the gym but are so unfit. Sigh...

R: Yeah right... why don't you come up yourself and do it then you'll know...

He mumbled under his breath.

KRG: What did you say ? Say again !

R: Huh...uh...nothing peddananna... I'll do it soon.. btw, where is bava ??

The to-be new groom came down dressed in a new set of shirt and pant. He cried rolling on the floor insisting his uncle to buy him a pair of new shades and watch to match his attire and was so happy after getting them.Being the apple of everyone's eyes,D had been spoilt by his family and now that he was going to be a groom he was given extra care. He enjoyed getting pampered by his clan.

D: Peddabauji ! How do I look ?? 😃

He went one full round clutching the sides of his shirt like an excited little girl who got a new dress. KRG's eyes twinkled with pride.

KRG: What for you babu..you're a King ! You're looking exactly like my brother in his younger days... how I wish he was here today...

KRG removed his glasses to wipe his eyes which became moist as he remembered his brother. D hugged him.

D: He is here only watching us from above... you are there in his place for me peddabauji, that's enough...

KRG pecked his head. R was watching father-son K3G sentiment scenes from atop the bus standing with his hands bent at his hips.

R: Ooohhh these too doing it more that Amitabh ji and SRK... Bava ! I am one man struggling here... come and help me !!

D looked up at him.

D: No I won't ! Can't you see I am the groom?? I can't strain my body besides I have to look fresh when Sweetu ma sees me. You call someone else.

R: Gggrrrr !!!!

Somehow R managed to finish his task and alighted the bus. He saw Pramod taking pics of D in various poses.

D: Now like this...

D: And this....

Pra: Super !!

R felt amused seeing all those poses of D and went up to him. He saw D lifting his leg.

R: Bava what are you doing ??

D: I'm trying to recreate the pose of Amarendra lifting one leg while shooting arrow at pindari.

R: Hahahaha sorry bava in the movie it came out well but now it looks like dog raising one leg while doing susu...hahahaha...why do you do all this ? Be normal.

D: Huh..uh...mmm... I have to try a new pose what do I do ?? Mmm...

He thought and got an idea. He made R go down on his fours and then sat on his back majestically as if it were his royal seat.

R: Ouch ! My back hurts ! Bava !!!

D: Hihihihi...

He flashed a wide grin and Pramod clicked the photo. R struggled and got up.

D: Send all these pics to Sweetu ma now!! Text her saying Amarendra Bahubali coming soon to meet her!

He ordered Pramod who followed suit without raising a question.R gave him a baffled look.

R: What's your plan bava ?

D: To flood Sweetu's whatsaap with my pics until we reach Bangalore! She asked for one pic only but I'll keep sending her nonstop she'll feel so happy...

R mv: She won't feel happy, she'll be banging her head on the wall seeing your monkey acts.

He shook his head in despair.

D's mom: Reyy! It's getting late we have to leave now what are you guys doing over there ?? Come here.

They went.

SDG: Rana, have you kept the pickle jars inside ??

R: Mmm...

SDG: What about the coconut sacks ?

R: Yes...yes...

He gritted his teeth in irritation.

SDG: Then the banana bunches ?? Dabbas of sweets ??

R: Ooohh yes I have kept that also peddamma! From peas to jackfruit, mixture to pesarettu everything is inside that bus ! Are you going for engagement or food party ?? Why all these ??

SDG: It's a long journey so to eat on the way also we're going to girls house ra we have to bring all this for them or else they'll think boys side came empty handed, ate and went...Sweetu also likes these traditional snacks which they won't get there. Look, if I find anything missing, you'll get a smack !

R: Oh Venkateshwara swamy why did I ever come here today ?

He cursed his luck. Soon all Uppalapatians started boarding the bus one at a time. R had to help the elders and kids get in. He held D's great-grandfather's hand slowly guiding him into the bus.

R: (mv: Looks like he might fall if the wind blows a little too strong yet he wants to travel...)Thathayya, why don't you stayback and rest ??

"And miss my great grandson's engagement?? No way !! How long I've been waiting to see him settled you know ? Don't worry I am strong nothing will happen to me. I will close my eyes only after seeing my chinni uppalapati's heir, the pride of our clan!"

R: 🙄🙄🙄

Finally all were seated except D,Pramod, some cousins and KRG.

D: Bava aren't you coming ??

R: No bava I have some photoshoot I'll come after that anyway engagement is in 3 days time I'll be there for sure. You carry on.

D: Come now no bava, it'll be so fun if you join us...

R: Yes bava but I have already committed... I have not brought any luggage !!

KRG: Reyy! Babu is requesting you so much what great commitment is that ? Can't you postpone it for a few days ?? I'll speak to them. Clothes we can buy there. You're coming with us now! Besides who will help us unload all this at Bangalore so you're coming !

R: 😰😰😰

D: Yaaayyyy !!!!!

Inspite his protests Pramod and his cousins lifted the hulk and dumped him into the bus. He was cornered and couldn't escape.

KRG: All ready ??

All: Yes !!!

KRG: Ok! Let's all pray to god before we embark on this trip. Edukondalavadaaa venkataramana govindaa govindaaa !!!

All: Govindaa govindaa !!!

R mv: My life has become 'govindaa' after being part of this clan. 😓

And the buses left for Bangalore.

2 days later,

Darling and Sweety's engagement at Puttur in Sweety's ancestral home :

R: Your good name pls ?

"Aishwarya Rai"

R: And yours?

"Pooja Hegde"

"Hi.. I'm Sneha Ullal"

R: Oooohhhh so sweet... myself Rana daggubati... most eligible bachelor of Telangana ! Nice to meet you all ! 😍

R was flirting with S's gorgeous looking cousins. D came down searching for him. Seeing him holding their hand and showing off his skills in palm reading, D got annoyed.

R: Ahem... your hand is so soft, skin is so glossy. Tulu girls must be bathing in rose milk am I correct ?

"No nothing like that we bathe in water like everyone else.."

R: Huh..uh...mmm...never mind...hihihihi...you'll get a guy who will bathe you in rose milk your palm says you'll get a handsome 6'3 hulk as your aahhh !!! oowwww !!!

He turned behind rubbing his bums as he saw D rolling up the sleeves of his shirt. The girls giggled.

R: Why did you kick me bava ? Can't you see I am busy??

D: What busy ra ?Holding young girls hands is your busy ??

R: Err... that I was reading their palms.. predicting their future..

"Yes he was..."

D looked at the girls.

D: Girls, you don't know him, if you let him hold your hand now you'll have to hold little Bhadras later... that bad he is.I've come just in time and saved you all. Now escape !

The girls clutched their beautiful ghagras and fled. R glared at his bava.

R: Bava ! Why are you such a wet blanket ?? Your life is settled... I'm hoping to set mine.. all world beauties are here and I am trying my luck you had to come and ruin it ! Ggrrr !!!

D: You have to try your luck with my wife's cousins eh ? Not when I am there ! As the son-in-law of this family, I'll not let any man set his eyes or lay his hands on the girls of this clan!!

D proclaimed. R felt proud of his bava.

R: Whoa... I'm so proud of you bava! Before marriage itself you're so protective towards bro's family. They're so lucky to get a brother like you !

D: Rinse your mouth with acid ra ! Never ever say I am brother of beautiful girls. I am their bava ! They are my maradalus... oh no I feel so shy !!

R: Gggrrr !!! You take Anushka shetty and every other beauty you're not fair to men bava!

D: Everything is fair because I am Amarendra, the manohari man ! 😎

SSR: Oh you two yapping away here they're all searching for him... come it is almost time let's go in...

SSR got both of them in. D took the blessings of all the elders.S's maternal uncle placed a garland around D's neck and made him sit on the chair. D was all smiles trying to hide his nervousness as he waited for his lady love. It didn't take long. All eyes soon turned towards the staircase as S came down, her head bent, accompanied by her shadow, Tammy, Rama garu and Valli garu. She folded her palm, greeted everyone and also took their blessings after which she sat beside D. She was so conscious with all eyes at them that she purposely avoided looking at D knowing very well he would tease her. However it didn't stop D from his notorious acts. He leaned towards her and whispered in her ears making her blush even more. As if that weren't torturous enough, Tammy and Prashanthi were giving teasing looks to her. She felt like getting up running away somewhere thankfully rituals began and they had to stop their antics giving her a breather.

D's akka handed S the engagement saree from groom's side which she had to wear for the ceremony. Likewise D also had to wear a new set of clothes. Both changed and came down. D looked dapper in an off white sherwani.

S wore a turquoise heavily embroidered silk saree.

The girl who used to remove all her jewels and keep aside was now sitting laden with heavy accessories on her head, ears, neck and hands. Her mother was the happiest to see her dolled up. Her aunt anointed their foreheads with haldi and sindoor.

The priest read out the 'lagna patrika'.S's parents and KRG along with his wife representing D's side, exchanged the nischaya thamboolam (engagement platter). Once that ritual was over, D and S stood up and were made to exchange garlands. First D garlanded her and then when it was her turn, she lifted her head to see his face for a brief moment but when he winked she quickly lowered her gaze and smiled inwardly which was noticed by the youngsters who made so much noise cheering them. The elders smiled.

SSR and Rama garu handed them their engagement rings. It was a simple platinum band for D which had the name 'Sweety' engraved on it. As for S, it was a customised diamond solitaire ring.

She put the ring for him first and then he took her hand holding it gently yet firm and slipped the ring onto her slender finger. Tada! They were engaged! ♥️

All around them clapped and cheered for the couple.T from S's side and R from D's end nudged them at once that they lost their balance and fell on each other but D was quick to brace himself and caught S, his arm had gone around her waist.

T: Ahem... ahem... you guys are too fast ! There is still some time for the marriage pls be patient..

She stood innocently and received a glare from S but D was over the moon. He thanked T and R through eyes.

At SKG's behest, SDG slipped a golden bangle with intricate designs into Sweety's wrist.

SKG: This is a family heirloom. One had been given to Prabodh's wife and this one was kept safely for Nandhu's girl. The way he was shunning from marriage, I thought I had to give it to some guy...

D: Amma ! I'm not like that ok ! Just because I'm shy and stick around with guys doesn't mean....

He snarled.S stifled her laughter.

D's mom: Thankfully you are not ! This wouldn't look nice on a man's wrist, it's perfect on Sweety as if made for her. You keep it with you ma, it is yours henceforth..both the bangle and my notorious son..

She hugged and pecked S's forehead who kissed her back on her cheek. D pretended to wipe his eyes with the shawl of his sherwani.

D: Sob..sob... seems like bangaram has filled Nandhu's spot..now I feel like a son-in-law... so lost... I've no one... sob sob...

S's mom jumped in support of D.

S's mom: We're there with you Prabhas ! Let Sweety go with your family, you stay with us, as our son.

D: I love this idea !

He hugged her mother who pecked his forehead. S became daughter of Uppalapati clan and D became son of the shettys. Blackendra and Snowsena too got betrothed with new dog collars. Hers read 'Blackendra's beauty' and his read 'Snowsena's hottie'.

Later the newly engaged couple took family photos with each other's families and headed to the dining hall for a scrumptious feast to celebrate the joyous occasion.
