Recap: Sid feels gobsmacked with Yami's beauty in her new attire. Later their romantic time is interupted.

*******************

Yami was about to open the door but Sid stopped her to avoid any awkward feelings between them after the little ministrations from each other. Yami looked at him with a little fear in her heart that he might say something about regretting on whatever happened between them. She nodded her head to him go ahead on whatever he had to say. Sid exhaled visibly and hugged her gently and pecked her forehead.

She left out the breathe she was holding and smiled to the little act of him to make her feel good. Yami opened the door and saw Vijaya standing along with Manohar.

Yami: Maa, what happened ? Why are you here at this time ?

Vijaya: Yamu, your aunt is coming home tomorrow. She just called that she will reach early morning. We will leave early so that we can reach home before she arrives.

Yami: Why is she coming now ? 

Mano: She didn't attend your marriage so she is coming to see you. 

Sid: Do you want us to join you in the morning ?

Vijaya: If you have no problem ?

Sid: Ofcourse no problem, now go to sleep and we will be ready in the morning to return. Anyhow we came in two cars so maa, appa, Vimal and Nive can return in one.

Manohar: thank you Sid...Good night go to sleep now.

Sid closed the door and saw Yami already entering the washroom to get changed. He sulked and changed into his tracks and vest in the room.

Sid Mv: Evano sooniyam vechurukkan adhan nammala vechu seiyudhu..nalla flow la poitu irundhuchu..( someone has surely done sorcery that is working very good now........that was good start to initiate...) hmmmmmm

Sid laid on the bed thinking about Jaya's words. Yami came out of the washroom in her cotton night suite and started packing their clothes.

Sid: I thought you changed your idea of wearing this night suites ?

Yami: What are we ? In honeymoon is it  to wear them ? That day all my night dress were not washed so I had to wear that.

Sid Mv: Ennama poi pesura paarunga ? ( Look how leisurely she lies ?)

Sid: I believed you Mrs. Siddarth...now tell me what could be the reason behind your aunt's sudden visit ?

Yami: How do I know ? Are you scared of her ?

Sid: Ofcourse, until today I couldn't guess if she likes me or not. She gives both signals to me...If I think she like me then she will act opposite or if I think she hates me then she will talk so nice to me. Now that we are married I m scared what will be her reaction.

Yami: Whatever reaction she may give but nothing will change the fact that we are married and remember she loves me a lot so obviously she will love you too now.

Sid: If you say so....by the way don't stay with her too long. Say some reason and return to our room...

Yami: Why? you can't sleep without me now ?

Yami stood next to him cocking her eyebrows waiting for his answer. Sid pulled her next to him on the bed and hugged her to his chest. Yami raised her head to look at him but he pressed her face to his chest and closed his eyes.

Sid: Good night..sleep now..We need to wake up early in the morning.

Yami smiled and hugged his waist without talking further. Both were hesitating to initiate the conversation about the changes happening between them. Sid gave up and cleared his throat and she hummed as if she knew he wants to speak to her.

Sid: Yami, am I making you uncomfortable or you know....am I forcing you ?

Yami: Am I reacting like you are forcing me ?

Sid: Ellame pudhusa irukku Yami...( Everything is new Yami )

Yami: Ellame nalla irukku Sid ( Everythig is good Sid)

Sid: unakku yedhachum sollanuma ? ( Do you want to say something ?)

Yami: hmmm ...but now I m listening to your heartbeat...Its very nice..

Sid: Nanum neraya sollanum Yami aana ippo ippadi illa...(  Even I have to say something Yami but not now like this )..

Yami: Its ok tell me when you feel to do...

Sid Mv: I will plan something special to propose you Yami. This will be the first job after returning home. I don't want to delay anymore....

He kissed her hair and they slept. Early morning they got ready and came out of the room and Manohar, Vijaya came at the same time. They took a car and Sid drove back home with Yami in the passenger seat and Vijaya, Manohar in the back seat. Sid stole glances of Yami as she was struggling to stay awake. He squeezed her palms and said to have a little nap until they reach home.

Sid stopped the car before Jaya's home and they got down. Sid got down and carried sleeping Yami to her room and they continued to sleep until the arrival of the aunt. The sun rays hit directly on Sid's face and he groaned but looking at his wife snuggling into him to avoid the rays made him feel happy.

He was about to wake her but before that there was a knock on the door which made Yami awake. She opened the door and saw Jaya standing.

Jaya: Get ready and both of you come down. your aunt is waiting for you.

Sid and Yami got ready and reached downstairs. Yami saw the lady sitting with coffee in her hand. she squealed and ran to her.

Yami: Karpagam Chithi....(aunt) how are you ? I missed you darling...

Karpagam: My little daughter...how are you dear ?

Yami: I m fine and super happy...I m angry on you for not attending my marriage. 

Karpagam: you know your sister had her public exam so I couldn't come but now I will stay for some days so don't worry.By the way were is your best friend ?

Sid scratched his nape and moved next to Yami with a smile plastered on his face.

Sid: Hello aunty ..how are you ?

Karpagam: hmm.hmmm I m fine.. so married your friend ? how is life now ?

Sid: Life is super aunty..actually we are planning our honeymoon now right Yami ?

Yami nodded her head looking at him ranting in nervousness. Jaya called them breakfast and Sid moved away first to escape the situation. Yami and Karpagam followed him. They had breakfast in utter silence and Sid tried to finish quick and successfully got away from there but his luck Karpagam too finished next to him and followed to wash her hand. 

Sid turned to leave but she stopped him with a glare.

Karpagam: I want to talk to you..

Sid: Yes, mother in law...we can..tell me how can I help you ? Actually I need to get back to work after we finish our talk.

Karpagam: you have nothing to help me. I will reach the temple near by the bus stand at 5 in the evening. Meet me there.....alone...don't you dare tell Yami about this..got it ?

Sid nodded his head vigorously and bade bye to everyone and left from there. As soon as he was out he exhaled.

Sid Mv: What could be that she want to talk to me..that too alone ? God save me from her please...please...

He drove to cafe and had his mind diverted but everytime he looked at the time his heart thudded in fear what if she doesn't like him for Yami. He dreaded of the thought and convinced his mind that he would persuade her.

By 4 he informed his assistants to take care of the cafe and quickly refreshed before he started to drive to the temple. He stopped before the entrance and stood taking breathe to calm his mind.

He saw the lady selling flowers and coconut to offer to the god.

Sid Mv: Deiii behave like a good boy now....come on you can do it.

He bought some flowers, coconut to offer for the god and entered inside. He saw Karpagam waiting already and gave a smile to her. Karpagam saw the flowers in his hand and looked at him.

Sid: I m very religious person aunty. I used to go to temples very often. Its my habit to buy flowers and coconut to offer and by habit bought it today too.. Two minutes aunty I will finish the prayer and come back.

Karpagam: inga eppavum varuviya ? (You come here very often is it ?)

Sid: aama aunty..murugar na enakku romba pudikkum. ( yes aunty, Lord Muruga is my favourite)

Karpagam: This is Durga temple...

Sid mentally facepalmed for not noticing even once about this.

Sid: Ohhh..yes yes...I know aunty. I said in general..

He excused and gave the flowers and coconut to the priest and prayed to the god for his love. He came back to her with a thick line of holy ash on his forehead and gave it to Karpagam too.

Karpagam: Why did you marry Yami ?

Sid stayed quite without replying. Karpagam saw him sighing and questioned him again ?

Karpagam: You know she is my daughter even if she is my sister's daughter biologically. when we all wanted you both to get married you refused but now why did you marry her ?

Sid stood straight and looked into her eyes.

Sid: I love Yami...

Karpagam did not speak and waited for him to continue but she saw the confidence and determination in his voice.

Sid: You are the first person other than my close friends Parth and Navi to know abou this but soon everyone will know. I have been in love with her ever since I knew the term love. Please don't ask me the reason why I did not express my love to her. You may all think my reasons as stupid but only I knew the fear of losing her if I had expressed my love. I will do anything to keep her happy and will go to any extent for that. She is my everything aunty. Please trust me.

Karpagam: You could have agreed this long time ago. Ok let it go and do you have idea of letting Yami know about your love ? 

Sid: Ofcourse aunty...I m planning to propose her. Though there is a little fear still in me I hope and believe she will accept my love. Rest is in our fate...destiny...whatever...please don't hate me..I really love Yami.

Karpagam: I don't hate you Sid....I was upset with you because you denied when I was damn sure that you both are in love. I love Yamu more and I m sure that there is nothing wrong in expecting our children to be happy. If there is any problem we are always here to help you people. 

We have family, friends, relatives not only to share our good time but to be a strong pillar in our bad time. you both are our children and we only want the best to you both. We only tried to make you both realize this long time back.

Sid: I can understand your love. Me and Yami are lucky to have you all in our life who had fought for our love rather than we fighting for it. you people are guiding us in batter way to have a peaceful life filled with only love. If I had spoken about my love to any of you then may be we would have married in a better circumstance. I value everyone of you in my life.

Karpagam touched his hair with a smile and applied a thin line of holy ash on his forehead.

Karpagam: Sure my doll will be happy in her life. Propose her soon. Don't delay much and here I got tickets for you both..night show...Go take her for dinner and spend some time.

Sid hugged Karpagam feeling happy about the positive turn of events in life and they left from the temple together.
