Author POV

Things is simple when you see them like it was rather than wallowing about past or concern about probability of future.

Mira who went inside his room was shocked to see the condition of it, and started muttering, " veliya daan ella romba strict, gentleman, onnum teriyade papa madri irruparu aana kuda ireukavangla daan kekanum epidi nu, paaru epidi room vechi irrukaru, idhula yenna vera inga irruka solraru, perfect batchelor room madri irruku edo movie shooting madri, dress study table la books bed le towel carpet la coffee kudicha mug bedpost la, aiyooo Raama innum cupboard nelama epidi irrukomo, Atthai pavam idha clean panrathu kula bend kazhandudume, cheiii naa daan pavom ippo naa daan clean pananum".

As she saw how messy it is, and started cleaning the room keeping her lugage at the corner. While she was cleaning she started scolding him," paaru shirt podra edam aa idhu, aprom Attha kitta katitu irruparu maa shirt pathiya anda purple colour du, enga vecha,  Kadavule onnu ivaruku buddhi seri panidhu illa Ennaku tolerance level increase pannu pleaseeeeeee, evroda tantrum sagichikarathuku naa thaniya 1 litre paal daan kudikanum polla".

In all these she didn't noticed the amused faces of others who came to see if she is okay or not and when they saw her like this they smiled and came inside.

"Enna orey pugalchi balama irruku", Aminesh asked with a smile, Mira shrieked and kept her hand on her mouth and stood like a statue not knowing what to say.

"Podum podum shockaa korai kutty patas, mudiyale paakah", Ani teased her earning two simultaneous smack from Aishu and Mira.

"Mamse, eduku ippo inda comment, adu surprise look avlo daan", she said casually and agin started to clean.

"Inda paiyan room kula vara vidade aapave doubt vandudu aana inda alavuku panni irrupa nu nenaikave illa", Ahaana voiced out her irritation and started collected book from the bed.

Aishu started to bend down to pick the T-shirt when all shouted, " Aishu, Akka, Ishuuu", she gave them a surprised look to which Ahaana replied," initial months la neriya bend laa panna kudadu maa, stomach la enda madri kuda pressure poda kudadu", and creased her head while all nodded their head in agreement.

"Amma ku puriyuthu athu epidi unga moony peru kum teriyum", she asked lookiung at Mira , Ani and Aminesh.

"Aishu maa, nanum daan kuda irrunde unga Amma pregnant aa irrunda appo so I tend to know, illati epidi rendu pasanga and her mood swings and health pathu irruka mudiyum sollu", Aminesh started lightly but ended up cribbing which made the youngsters laugh and Ahaana glare at her poor husband.

Aishu stopped laughing and gazed the Tom and Jerry who looked like deer caught in traffic light. Both looked here and there making the rest three focus their full attention to them.

Ani cleared his throat and started," adu vandu oru friend kita kete".

"Aduku eduku evlo vervai viruvirikudu ungluku Mamse", Mira jumped in between making him glare at her through gritted teeth while others nodded.

"Adu vandu enoda friend illa, en friend oda Chitapa oda Ponnu oda Nathanar", he quietly said and looked down and closed his eyes not to see the reaction of any present there.

After a second he heard a scream and looked up to see his best friend on the door with a parcel in his hands with total confusion.

" Ennadhu Yaaru kita ketinga nu sonninga", Aishu asked.

Since all their back was facing Aarav, he was the scapegoat this time and repeated the same.

"Mamse, neenga vera level ponga", Mira said and started laughing along with the older couple while Aishu was glaring at him to the core.

"Siri ma Siri nanum pakre unaku epidi teriyum idha pati ku nee enna solra", he muttered under the breadth and looked at hius friend with puppy eyes who just shrugged his ahoulder and mouthed ' unga nadavule naa varla'.

"Seri Miru nee sollu unaku epidi teriyum", Ani asked in ever so sweet voice.

She fumbled for few times and started speaking," May be naa vandu oru doctor kita pesi terinjitu irrupe"

"Aduku yen da nee ipidi fumble panre", Ahaana asked her affectionately while all other had the same expression excerpt two friends as one knew what it can be and the other prayed it shouldn't be.

She cleared her throat and again started speaking," may be anda doctor enoda colleague oda Anna ku bestfriend aa irrukalam, and may be na konja flirt pani irrukalam to get know about all the information regarding pregnancy and may be oru chinna casual date ku poi irrukalam", and closed her eyes tightly and started muttering Hanuman Chalisa.

"Ennadhu", a voice echoed making all eyes bulge out while Ani muttered the curses of the timing.

All turned to see an angry Aarav lookiung at her with full rage, Ahaana started, " Aarav adu vandu..." , only to be stopped by him.

"Ellarum veliya ponga", he sternly said.

"Deii solrathu kelu first", Aminesh also wanted to diffuse the tension but stopped by his son's remark.

"Ungluku puriyale, ellarum please veliya ponga naa yenoda PONDATI kita pesanum", he stressed the word 'wife' with so much intensity that everyone gulped and started to leave but Aminesh just gave an eye to which he discreetly nodded getting his message.

All left with either giving sympathy look to Mira or warning look to Aarav, when he was about to close the door Ani said," Deii Lossu last chance da idhu unaku edana screw panne unna naane kondruven purinjidha", to which he nodded and closed the door.

When he turned, there he got a glimpse of his wife who was muttering something vigorously moving her lips, with steady pace he came towards her and said in his base voice," enna paaru maa oru vaati".

The heartbeat which was beating fast can be heard and the sudden increase in the intensity between them is also something which neither of them can ignore.

Gently he held her chin and made her look towards himand spoke," kanna tera Sira".

It was like someone had poured a bucket of ice water over her, she with a sudden jerk opened her eyes to see him looking at her full adoration.

She stood there like that for few seconds then felt something cold on her cheeks, and then only she realised that anything but her husband's finger creasing her cheeks tenderly.

"Ko..nja ne..ra.. mu..nadi.. yen..na epi..di.. ko..pti..nga", she asked shuttering due to their proximity.

"Epidi maa", he slowly asked moving his fingers to tuck some random hairs beside her ear.

"Edo peru solli kooptingale", she asked take short breat aand clutching her kurti tightly.

"Umm, enna koopte oh yes Sira nu koopten, yen koopdate kudada naa", he asked leaning forward towards her ears and whispered, slightly kissed her earlobe making her shiver.

Smirking at her state he moved little back amd asked her I'm stern voice making her out the daze, " Naa vanda appo edo solitu irrunde adu enna tirupiyum sollu".

Out of the trance she looked at him with slight fear and when she saw him glaring at her she gulped and fumbled," adu daan ketingala daane tiripiyum enna solla".

"Yenna nakkal aa", he said and moved a step forward making her take a step backwards.

"Illa neenga terinjida eduku tirrupi kekringa daane keten", she reverted back in sassy manner making him chuckle inwardly but kept the stoic face outside.

"Seri Yaaru adu, edo oru Doctor kita flirt ellam paniye, avana pathi sollu", he said coming straight to the point.

"Just oru naal daan pone and silla questions regarding Medical condition keten avlo daan last week after Aishu Akka video call matadhu la internet la padiche, flirt laa panale chumma Ani Mamse ku support kaga sonne", she said and looked downwards and fondled  her fingers

"Hmm, seri va unoda favourite Dosai vangitu vandu irruken", he said and turned to the table to open the parcel.

Hearing her favourite food name, her all shyness and state went outside, she jumped and quickly went to the washroom to freshen up.

After taking out the parcel and getting plates, juice and water, he came back to see her sitting in middle of the bed with folded leg. He shook his head and placed the items in plate and forwarded it to her.

She quickly bought it from him and started to have it without giving him any second glance.

There he stood still seeing her carefree like she was years back and a pang of guilt came but he brushed it off and looked at her. After finishing that she was looking for water when a glass of orange juice was infront of her, she looked up to see him looking at her in amusement then only she realised the little stunt she pulled infront of him for her favourite and muttered," Miru unaku sooniyam yaarum illa neeye daan" and took the glass and started sipping little by little.

The silence prevailed within them but both had questions regarding their life but afraid that how it may turn.

"Umm naa ippo yen vande keka martingala", she started the conversation.

"Kekanuma maa, idhu unoda veedu eppa kuda nee varla", he somehow used this opportunity to convey his hearts desire in discrete manner hoping she would understand ots inner meaning.

"Teriyum adaanala daan naa vandu irruke, inda vaati eppavume ingaye irrukarathu kaga", she also replied getting his meaning.

Both looked at eachother and Aarav moved forward and cupped her face kneeling down and said," Ennaku teriyum namblukula neriya difference irruku and trust me I am also facing my own demons for us, it's just that it's taking time, ennaku adu epidi soli puriya vekrathu unaku nu teriyale maa, eppo kuda naa un kita vanda past munadi vardu, naa justify panale enoda actions adu thappu daan, aana indha marriage nee edavume naa oru naal kooda regret panadhu illa, sorry keta mattum pathadu  adu correct um illa,but I will prove my worth to you, I want this to work out maa, aduku daan 3 varusham inga unakaga wait panne, all I can say is Please DON'T GIVE UP ON US, avlodaan", and kissed her forehead.

The tears made its way down from her eyes to cheeks, all the while whatever doubt she had was erased by his words, this time the tears was of happiness and she knew what ever may come  is she will fight for him, her relationship, for them.

She hugged him tightly and sobbed while he sushed her," podum podum innum azhada maa, paaru epidi kannam rendu sevandu irruku apdiye thakali madri", while placing small kisses om her forehead.

By listening to the last words, she came out embrace and started hitting him," Enna sonninga thakali aa panrathu ellam panitu ipidi pesringa".

He just took some hits but once it's started to get  over intensity he shrieked," valikudu maa".

She also left and creased his chest not knowing the havoc her small actions made inside him.

When there was no movement from him she looked up and saw him staring at her with so much intensity.

She thought,'Adhi aathi evan pakra muzhi seri illaye, edo sugar patient ku munadi gulab jamun irrukra madri pakrane, aiyoo cheii Ivan la pechi daan action vara romba naal aagum seri pathutu pogatum'.

The atmosphere which was so turned romantic under his gaze made him to use it to the full and thus started moving towards her and by mistake he droped a penstand, but that didn't stopped him going further but when there was just a millimetre difference a Bang on the door made them jerk out of the trance amd looked at the door.

With frustration he went towards the door while Mira started cleaning the bed.

On opening the door he saw all the family there glaring at him while Ani had a smirk, watching this he muttered," epdiye panunga naa romance pana madri daan".

All pushed him and went inside while Ani just patted his shoulder and said, " ellarum edo vizhara satham ketu daan vandom but disturb panitom pola".

"Teriyudu illa aprom enna kelvi kekra da", he snorted at his bestfriend.

"Idhu verum arambabam daan innum poga poga paaru enna enna nadakum nu, oru advice solre married man aa, eppa eppa time kadaikudo romance panidu illa chance kadaikadu aprom", Ani said smugly.

Both friends looked at each other and started laughing while inside all looked at them like aliens and shrugged it while talking with each other.
