கண்ணாக கருத்தாக உனை
காப்பேன் உயிராக உனை
கண்டேன் கனிந்தேன் கலந்தேனே
அட உன்னுள் உறைந்தேனே
இன்று என்னுள் மாற்றம் தந்தாயே
உனை என்றும் மறவேனே

Extremely sorry…

Network issue is giving me some serious trouble…

Kindly adjust and read the short story…

She nodded her head…

Kat: mulla….

Mul: hmmm…

Kat: I love you….and pressed a tight kiss on her forehead…

Kat: enna vena irukalam….

Evalo mosamana vena irukalam….naan irupen inime…

She hit him on chest and cried her lungs out…

Kat: en kita solirukalame….

Hmmm?

Didn’t you think I deserved to know it?

Am I not worthy enough to know it….

Am not la…

Mul: kathir….nooo……

She hugged him close to herself, finding solace in his arms…

Mul: ennaku en melaye verupu vera edhum illa…

His words were making her cry in emotions which were alien to them…

Kat: innum evalo di kenja veppa…

Mul: haan?

She looked into his eyes…

Kat: katiko di…

Mul; katikitu dhane iruken…

Kat: comedy aa?

He was starting to get irritated…

Mul: Epo kalyanam panikalam….

He took her lips in his and sucked them till they were out of breath…

Kat: naan onnu soluven nee kekanum…

Kathir knocked his nose with hers…

Kat: kanna thoda di….

Ipdi azhudhu azhudu kannu veengi moonju sevandiruku paaru…

Mul: epdi da eduvume nadakatha madiri ipdi flirt panra…

She had trouble smiling amidst her tears..

Kat: flirt aa apdi na enna?

Mul: poda loosu…

She cried hitting him, his hands tugging her for a hug and that’s how their siblings saw them in each other’s embrace.

When they opened their eyes missing the warmth, they saw that the space next to them was empty.

Wondering where they vanished at this time of the dawn, they stepped out of their room to meet each other near the open terrace door…

The sight which awaited them was too sweet as per them, neither is their embrace alien to them nor are their baseless fights and patch-ups.

For sure they knew, whatever the issue was between them would remain only within them. Neither of them would utter a word about it…

Eavesdropping was not their thing anytime.

Letting them enjoy the moment, both of them went away to their respective room to have a small nap before the wakeup call come….

In the open air, they sat in each other’s embrace enjoying the climate, awaiting the first rays of the sun.

They needed this silent solace and space from and with each other.
