How Karthik Got Married 2 Years Ago

 I was reading though my old posts and it gave me a good laugh. So i present it here again.

Original post

So this week a rumour got floated around that Karthik is getting married this Sunday (tomorrow). I didn’t think much of it because this happens in our office now and then. You can’t move 5 minutes away from your computer without unlocking without getting married or worse. Someone near you is bound to send a quick email from your computer to all and sundry proclaiming marriage, etc…

Well, so as usual I just left it off…until this girl who works with me asked me with great surprise if Karthik is really getting married. Of course, I said yes. I always say yes to stupid questions.

Anyway, here goes the conversation:

She: Anwin, Karthik is getting married?
Me: Yeah, that’s correct.
She: Really??? Don’t lie to me.
Me: Really. Why would I ever lie about something as sacred (snicker to myself) as marraige.
She: Oh my God. I never thought he would get married so soon.
Me: Why ever not?
She: No, just like that. I never thought he will get married at a young age. But why tomorrow and all of a sudden?
Me: (This is the first time I come to know that the proposed date was for tomorrow. And I was on a call at that moment. So I mimed that it was going to be a register marriage)
She: What?
Me: (Miming that I will speak after the call)
…………………………………………………..
After the call:

Me: He didn’t want eanyone to know about his marriage since it is going to be a register marriage.
She: (Her mouth a perfect big O )What??? Really?? Oh My GOOOOOOD. So that’s why he never invited anyone to his marriage.
Me: Yeah.
She: So you are going as witness?
Me: Yeah. Naveen, myself and another friend of mine (Anoop, obviously) are going by car with Karthik. She is coming with a couple of her friends by bike. We are meeting at the registrar’s office.

Now I am really rocking and my mind works faster than a cannonball(ok , that was corny, and from the song by Oasis).

Me: Yeah, the problem is that she is a Muslim girl by name Begum something or the other. That’s why this hullaballoo..
She: Oh… this is interesting.

And issue not taken up for another hour. And just now when I am leaving she asks me…

She: So is Karthik giving a party tonight or tomorrow?
Me: I don’t know. Ask him
She: You have to know. You are the star witness.
Me: No, for yourself you will have to ask him direct.
She: I never expected this from Karthik.
