'Travelling lam epdi irundhuchu Aththai? sowriyama irundhucha?'

Prema caressed her daughter-in-law's hair with a smile,

'Aama da kanna, un mamanar dha epo vandhu seruvom nu ketu enna undu illa nu panitaru!'

Sivaangi chuckled and looked at her mamanar who flashed a smile at her which radiated the real happiness, meeting his marumagal,

'Epdi ma iruka?'

'Nala iruken mama, neenga fresh ayitu vanga..na tiffin pani vachudren..'

Prema immediately intervened,

'Nanum vandhu help panren da, ni yen thaniya pannikitu?'

'Aiyo, ila Aththai epovum panradhu dhane? cook akka ilana na dha pannuven..neenga rest edunga..'

Prema was stern about her decision. In a way, she wished to accompany her daughter-in-law in the kitchen today after almost a year which they cooked together in his Coimbatore house. Also, Sivaangi understood her wish to cook for her son and agreed to cook along with her.

'Nane pannidren da kanna, unaku dha innaiku recording iruku la? poitu va..'

Sivaangi hesitated for a while, 'Illa aththai adhu..' she dragged but Prema stopped her in the middle,

'Paravala ma, epovume ni dhane panra? ivlo naalu pondati kaiyaala saptrupaan, innaiku amma kaiyala sapdatum..'

Sivaangi got ready and bid bye to them before leaving for the recording. It was a short one which was for about 2 hours and she came back to spend her time with her in-laws.

Ashwin entered the house at night and gasped in surprise. They didn't inform him about their arrival as they wanted to maintain it as a surprise. Sivaangi already knew about it, but she didn't disclose it to him for which he fake glared at her.

'Modhale solirukalam la ma? shoot ah innaiku cancel panirupen..' he hugged his mother before settling on her lap who was seated on the sofa.

'Surprise nu aththai dha sola vendam nu sonnanga Ashwineyy!' Sivaangi exclaimed with a pout, making Prema chuckle,

'Ipo avala edhuku da thittura? pulla kita na dha solla vendam nu sonnen..'

Ashwin gaped his mouth, when his mother supported Sivaangi,

'Un pulla naanu ma, enna vitutu avalku support panra?' he whined, making Sivaangi smirk,

'Adhu en marumaga varra varaikum da..inime avalku dha na support!'

Ashwin huffed and got up to get refreshed after having a few minutes chat with his parents. He came back in swift to have dinner.

'Semma pasi! Ma, sapadu eduthu vai..'

Sivaangi was about to serve food, but Ashwin looked at Prema and Sivaangi realised that he was addressing his mother. She hid her pout and went into the kitchen to fetch other utensils.

When he kept a mouthful of dosa with thakkali chutney, a moan escaped his mouth involuntarily,

'Aaha! amma..un kaipakkuvame thani..idha evlo naalu miss pannen theriyuma?'

Prema chuckled and served more on his plate while Ashwin continued praising his mother's cooking.

'En marumagalum nalla dha samaikraa..ipo edhuku enaku ice vaikra?'

'Ma! enna dha irundhalum un samayal mari varadhu..ava panraa, aana koodave 4 sattiya air la parakka vidraa ma..' Ashwin whined, not knowing that his wife was standing just behind him.

Prema eyed her and looked at his son pathetically, but he was ignorant about the ezharai he pulled himself.

'Enna panradhu, porumaya soli kuduthutu iruken, irundhalum indha oru varushathula aduppula adventure panradha matum ava maathikkave illa ma..'

Sivaangi huffed in annoyance while Ashwin kept ranting about his wife's saadhanaigal in kitchen, unaware of the disaster he created,

'Ipovum appalam porikrappo sattila thee varudhu, oven la bowl vedikkudhu..correct ah ellame thappa panraa..'

Sivaangi kept the satti on the table with force, startling Ashwin. He frowned at her expression which literally looked like a badhrakali mode, but brushed it off, as he was indulged in his mother's food.

'Ma, vera level..nalaiku mushroom biriyani pani kudu..okva?'

'Seri da..' Prema caressed his head and went into the kitchen to keep the utensils. Sivaangi's face was still the same, and Ashwin heard infrequent huffs and puffs during her dinner.

'Na room ku porenma..' he exclaimed a little louder, while Sivaangi glared at him before concentrating on her food.

'Seri poda! eththana vaati solluva?'

Not wanting to make his mother suspicious, Ashwin went to his room and waited for his wife to come.

He was meeting his wife after 10 long days of shoot. They used to talk via video calls and Sivaangi wantedly tested his patience with her mischief, provoking him each time. Today, he thought of spending a good day, probably night as well with his wife, but his parents arrival surprised him unexpectedly.

Meeting his parents after a year, made him elated and he missed to notice his wife who overheard his complaints about her.

Ashwin frowned when Sivaangi didn't return to the room until 11.30pm. He came downstairs to check on her, and noticed her having a chat with his mother and pouted.

Sivaangi noticed him and turned her head with a huff, making him frown. Prema suppressed her smile and spoke to him,

'Ennada, inum thoongalaya?'

Ashwin smiled sheepishly and eyed Sivaangi before he spoke,

'Adhu..ma, thoonganum ma..aana thookam varala..'

'Poi mallakka vittatha pathutu paduthu kedaka sollunga Aththai, thookam seekrama vandhurum..' Sivaangi exclaimed disinterest, making Ashwin frown in confusion. A pout formed in his lips before he left the place.

Prema suppressed her smile knowing about his son's thoughts and looked at Sivaangi,

'Seri ma, nee poi thoongu..time aachu..'

'Illa aththai, evlo naalu kalichu vandhirukeenga, namma pesalam..'

After another hour, Sivaangi went to their room and looked at him sleeping due to tiredness. She glared at him before making up her mind for the stunt from next day,

'En samayala comment ah panreenga? nalaiku enna panren nu matum paarunga..'

Ashwin got up and checked around him to get a glance of his wife, but for his disappointment, she was found nowhere. He sighed and went to freshen up.

'Ma! Maaaaa!'

Ashwin climbed down and looked at his mother who came towards him when she heard him calling,

'Unna illa ma, Sivaangiya kupten..'

Prema smiled before eyeing the shrine room,

'Saami kumbidra pa..'

Ashwin frowned at his mother and went towards the shrine for a kutty prayer, or to be precise, to spare a glance at his wife.

There, she stood wearing a simple kurthi and leggings, bringing a smile on his face. With her damp hair and bare face, she looked beautiful. Also, the symbols of their marriage shone bringhtly on her forehead and neck.

'Psss..psssst..'

Sivaangi frowned at the noise but didn't open her eyes until she heard it again. She glared at the person behind it, who smiled sheepishly.

She stared blankly before closing her eyes which confused Ashwin more. Looking at her praying seriously, Ashwin left the shrine room in defeat.

'Iva edhuku ipo different ah behave panitu irukaa?'

Ashwin was served with breakfast by his mother, but his thoughts were lingering around his wife.

As she heard him, Sivaangi entered the hall which brought a smile on his face. He took his time to admire his wife for a good few seconds before he averted his gaze due to his father's throat clearing sound.

'Sivaangi kanna, ni sapdalaya ma?' Sivaangi stopped in her tracks when she heard Prema speak, and spared a glance at her expectant husband who waited for her reply for the same question.

'Ila Aththai, na innaiku Veradham...'

Ashwin who had a mouthful of chapati, choked his food and looked at his wife with wide eyes.

'Veradhama? ipo veradha season lam ilaye?' Prema asked in confusion, not knowing her daughter-in-law's revenge.

Sivaangi thought for a while before preparing herself with an answer,

'Ah..dha..bha..ah! adhu oru vendudhalu ma..'

'Vendudhala? enna vendudhal?' Ashwin couldn't hold back his confusion. He very well knew that veradham was far away from his wife. He wondered why she was doing this all of a sudden.

'Vendudhal lam veliya sonna balikkadhu..' Sivaangi twisted her lips and walked towards the kitchen, confusing Ashwin.

He finished his breakfast and mentally noted to ask Sivaangi about this. Througout the day, Sivaangi kept herself busy so that he couldn't meet her in person.

Ashwin sighed in defeat and decided to talk about it that night. Also, he thought that whatever her veradham must be over tonight so that he could spend the alone intimate time with his wife.

He went to their room and noticed her scrolling her mobile. He sat beside her while Sivaangi snapped her head with a glare, making him gulp.

She went back to her business, while Ashwin called her,

'Sivaangi ma..' he called slowly, while she rolled her eyes before talking,

'Enna..'

'Adhu...' he opened his mouth to talk but stopped with a frown when she abruptly stood up from the bed. She fetched a pillow and a bedsheet and kept it beside him,

'Poi guest room la thoongunga..'

Ashwin looked at her in shock,

'Edhuku di?'

Sivaangi kept her hand on her hip and threw daggers through her eyes,

'Ah! innaila irundhu 7 naalaiku anga dha..'

'Edheyy? 7 naala? ethuku ezhu naalu?' Ashwin asked with a shocked face for which Sivaangi seemed unaffected.

'Ah? vendudhalu..' she huffed and turned to leave, but Ashwin got up and caught her hand,

'Innaiku kalaila irundhu oru mariyave iruka, veradham nu sonna, ipo enada na 7 naalu na guestroom la irukanum ngra..unkooda irukanumnu dhane di ivlo aasaya oodi vandhen?' he whined in his base voice, but Sivaangi soon composed herself and pretended like unaffected.

She wiggled out of his hold and glared at him,

'Onnum thevayilla, kelambunga..' she pulled him off and pushed out of the room before speaking with a huff,

'Enna vendudhalu nu keteenga la? Cooku with Comali season 7 cook ah poradhuku select aganum nu ezhu naalu veradham..'

Ashwin tossed and turned on his bed. He processed her words and tried to find out what was wrong until the next day dawned. His visible pout was all enough to make Prema understand that something was wrong between the couple.

Ashwin sat on the dining table with a dull face, while Sivaangi's non blood-bonded brother entered with a bright face,

'Thangaiiiiii!'

Sivaangi's face brightened and she hugged Pugazh tightly, making someone huff.

'Anney! va ney..ena solamale vandhuta?'

Pugazh caressed her hair and spoke,

'Aththai mama vanthirukanga nu sonna, epdi varama irupen naanu? adhoda maplayayum pathu romba nalachu..'

Pugazh moved towards Prema and Lakshmikanthan and got their blessings before having a few words with them. Lakshmikanthan excused himself to take some rest while Prema stayed at the dining hall to serve food for Pugazh. Ashwin sat beside him uninterestedly.

Once Prema left into the kitchen, Pugazh noticed his face and suddenly something sparked him,

'Enna mapla, 10 naal kazhichu veeta vandhiruka..kannu lam sevandhu iruku..nethu night thoongala polaye?' Pugazh looked at him teasingly, earning a murderous glare from Ashwin,

'Irukra kaduppula edhadhu solira poren, olunga thinnutu kelambu..' Ashwin huffed, but Prema who crossed that way, heard Pugazh and chuckled mentally.

Pugazh gave his thiruttu muzhi and went back to his eating business. He noticed that something was off between his mapla and thangachi, and smirked before thinking himself,

'Ipdi dha adichukuveenga, panjayathuku neengalave vandhu kupduveenga, sari nutu nanum vandha ni edhuku da vandha nu ennaye paithiyakaranakuveenga..(smirks) idhelam CWC 2 laye pattachu da..'

Pugazh soon left the place and Sivaangi went with Prema to help her in the kitchen. When Ashwin came in, Sivaangi huffed and kept the things abruptly to leave,

'Enga ma pora?' Prema asked when she didn't notice Ashwin entering in,

'Kitchen expert irukrappo na edhuku aththai ulla..na kelambren..'

She didn't wait for her reply, and left the place, confusing Ashwin.

'Enna dha ma avalku prachna?'

Prema decided not to say anything eventhough she knew what it was. She decided to let him solve it.

'Un pondati, ni dha enanu kandupudichu samadhanapaduthanum..'

Ashwin recalled the events happened the previous day and finally realised the blunder he made. He cursed himself for being so ignorant about his deeds. He now realised the reason behind her sudden veradham and decided to break it somehow.

Ashwin tiptoed inside their room and noticed her standing near the balcony. He now knew the reason for Sivaangi pulling a whole new stunt, and stood behind her. He neared her earlobe and called her in his trademark voice,

'Sivaangi ma..'

Sivaangi turned towards him with a glare,

'Edhuku da inga vandha ipo?'

'Edhey? da va?'

'Aama da daalda! vaai kizhiya pesa theridhu la? ipo endha moonja vachukitu inga varra?'

'Enama meratra?' Ashwin looked startled.

'Pina konjuvangala?' before she continued in a flow, Ashwin filled the gap with a mischievous smile,

'Enakku okay dha..'

'Haan haan! kudupanga! moonja paru..periya hero na? enna venalum pesuviya? indha oru varshathula edho, konjam samaika kathukiten, adha paarattradha vitutu complain ah panra?'

Ashwin caught her hands and spoke with an apologetic look,

'Sorry sorry sorry chellame! apdi solala di, ni super ah panra, irundhalum ammakita apdiye oru flowla unmaya so..(liten)..' he clicked his tongue when she glared at him dangerously. She wiggled out of his hold and spoke,

'Na kolakaariya maaruradhukulla poirunga..'

'உன் மெய்யினால் (உடல்) என் ஆண் கர்வத்தைக் கொலை செய்வதாக இருந்தால் நான் இரவு முழுதும் நம் பஞ்சணையில் தயாராகக் காத்திருப்பேன் என் கண்மணி..' Ashwin uttered in his base voice making her gasp.

(Un meyyinaal (body) en Aan garvaththai kolai seivadhaaga irundhaal naan iravu muzhudhum nam panjanaiyil thayaraaga kaathiruppen en kanmani..)

'Ahh! edu thodappakattaya!' Sivaangi searched something near her, but Ashwin ran out of the balcony to save himself from the attack,

'Ma! violence vendam ma, naane poidren..'

Ashwin's 2nd night successfully ended in the guest room. He thought of ways to calm her down without making his parents obvious about that.

The next four days went swiftly, with her ignoring him and him begging her to forgive him.

The seventh day became the hardest one for Ashwin. That evening, Sivaangi wore his favorite black-colored georgette saree hanging in a single pleat, and did a simple makeover to a birthday party of her friend, testing his utmost patience. When he offered to drop her, she ignored it, but Prema insisted her to go with him.

Prema and Lakshmikanthan happily spent their days and decided to leave Chennai the same evening. Sivaangi insisted on staying back without attending the party but Prema asked her to get bothered about them. Before they left, Prema called her in person and cracked evil eyes,

'Romba azhaga iruka da kanna..'

Sivaangi smiled at her when she caressed ger head,

'Neenga rendu perum adichukita kuda adhula avlo anbu theridhu..idhe mari epovum sandhoshama irukanum neenga..'

Sivaangi smiled lovingly. She felt blessed to have a family like his. The warmth they gave her was the same which she received from Ashwin. She felt lucky since the day she found them in her life.

Prema looked at her teasingly before uttering the next words, making Sivaangi blush,

'Edho theriyama solitaan, avana romba thavikka vidadha..'

During the car drive, Ashwin tried his luck.

'Mudiyadhu..'

'Ma! sorry ma..sathiyama inime na vaaye thorakka maten, punishment podhum..innaiku adhuvum unna indha saree la pathadhuku aprom sathiyama enala mudiyadhu..'

Sivaangi openly blushed at his words but soon composed herself,

'Ungaloda indha pechukelam na asara maten, aththai mama irundhanala dha pesama irundhen, ilana annaike veeta vitu thorathi irupen!'

Ashwin gasped at her words,

'Rowdy rowdy nu thorathi thorathi rowdy ponna thedi love panna la? unaku venum!' his manastchi poited out, but he ignored it.

Sivaangi came back at around 11.50pm and noticed the lights switched off. She frowned and walked in but gasped when she felt him hugging her from behind.

Sivaangi hid her smile and escaped his hold, making him pout.

'Sorry di pondati! pleaseeeeeee...' he whined, and finally she smiled, making him smile.

'Unga sorry onnum enaku thevayilla, enna aththai munnadi asingapaduthitenga la?' she fake glared at him, making him pout.

'Apdi ila di..' he whined, but she huffed and rolled her eyes,

'Ipo sollunga! en samayala illa unga amma samayala? naana ila avangala?'

'Ni dha ma..'

Ashwin said the answer in a heartbeat, making Sivaangi gasp.

Ashwin blinked his eyes like an innocent kid, making her look at him suspiciously,

'Ipdi takkunu katchi maarura aalu ilaiye neenga?' Sivaangi eyed him suspiciously while Ashwin reminisced his father's words which he said before he left,

'Enna dha ammava irundhalum, pondati nu vandhuta sila vishayangal la ammava kuda konjam vitu kuduthu dha da aahanum..apo dha pozhaichupa..'

Ashwin smiled and pulled her gently, making her dash on his chest. He encircled his hands around her waist and winked at her before eyeing her intently,

'Na epovume ore katchi dha..' he said, making her frown.

He smirked and bent down towards her ear and told something, making her gasp and whine,

'Ashwineyy!'

Ashwin chuckled louder but winced when she smacked on his chest,

'Ah valikudhu ma!'

Sivaangi suddenly smirked thinking of something,

'Inum ezhu naalu veradham mudiyala..'

When she finished, the clock dinged, showing the time as 12AM, making Ashwin smirk this time,

'Technically 7th day ipo mudinjuruchu..' saying that, he tightened his hold around her waist and neared her lips, making her feel the hotness already around her.

'Ezhu naal enna patni pota la? inimel lifelong ni veradham ne soladha mari innaiku un veradhatha na break panren di..'

Before she processed his words, Ashwin lifted her off the grounds and went towards their room before locking it in a hurry to commence their nocturnal nutriment which they missed due to her "7 Naal Veradham"!
