"Athu enna TV?"

April 10, 2019

Sreedevi

Where is he gone so long?

Ajay has went to the super market to get some groceries and its already quarter to 9.  Yesterday I watched Alaipayuthe for the first time and I regretted for not watching that movie all these days. It was such an epic movie. It almost made me cry at the end. Watching a good movie is also good for mental health like how reading a good book does.

Ajay has said that it will be movie nights from today as I have missed watching a lot of nice movies. I am usually not so interested in watching movies or simping heroes and heroines.  I have heard about those famous movies and how everybody love them but I never felt like watching it.

The fact that Ajay watches movies is quite a wonder for me. I have never seen him watching movies. All he does is PlayStation and cooking other than going for work. He said that he was completely a different person before. If so, Why did he change? Why did he turn into a workaholic person? Why do I feel like I want to know everything of him when I dont care about others?

The doorbell brings me back to the world. I open the door and find him with a goofy smile on his face and a whole lot of covers in his both hands. I smiled at him.

"Itha konjam pudich help pana nalla irukum" he says eyeing the covers on his hands.

"Oops" I tucked my saree end in my waist and took some covers from him.

He kept all the covers on the dining table and stretched his arms.

"Yen late uh?" I kept the things on the table.

"Haiyo atha yen kekura" He sighed and sat on the chair.

"Hmm?? " I checked the things in the covers.

"Pora vazhila oru kada oda inaugration pola.. Anga ore block uh... Vera vazhiya polam nu patha antha traffic la naduvula matikiten.."he leans back to the chair and rotates the car key.

"Ohh... Seri sapdulama? Time aayiduch la" I look at the wall clock that is showing 9'o clock.

"Okay... Enna dinner?" He walks around the table and washes his hands.

"Idly?" I walk to the kitchen and bring the casserole of Idly and Chutney.

"Hm-Mhm" he sat on the chair.

I kept the plate and served three idlis and puthina chutney on it before serving myself.

"Devi thookam varutha?" He asks as he finish eating.

"Yen?"

"Illa nethu maari movie pakalama?" He asks excitedly.

I act like thinking for a moment before saying "Late aayidiche..."

He pouts and gets up from the seat with a grumpy face and move to the kitchen. I supress my giggle and follow him. He grabs the plate from me and washes them with a pout. A smile crept my face seeing the other side of this man. Though he is a grown up man, he is a child from inside. He is literally behaving like how a little kid would behave when their mother don't get them an ice cream.

"Nejamave thookam varutha?" He asks again with a pout.

I chuckle loudly and shook my head.

"Naan summa sonnen Ajay... Naan namma movie pakalam nu thaan wait panit irunthen avlo neram" I said.

"Nejamava?" His eyes shined in elation.

I just nodded my head.

"Okay Apo vaa.. Namma VTV pakalam" he moved to the hall and connected his pen drive.

"Athu enna TV?" I followed behind him.

He slapped his forehead.

I blinked at him.

"Athu TV illa ma... VTV.. Vinnaithandi varuvaya movie oda short form" he shook his head before grabbing the remote.

"Athu enak epdi theriyum.. Neenga ozhunga sollirkanum" I twisted my lips downwards and shrugged.

"Ama ama en thappu thaan.. Movies la M kooda theriyathavanga kitta intha short form lam sollirka koodathu" he jumps on the couch.

I grab a couch pillow from the adjacent couch and threw at him with a force. He laughs rubbing his forearm where the pillow fell.

"Ahh Valikuthu ma" he says laughing.

"Valikuthu na yen sirikringa??" I asked keeping my hands on my waist.

He laughs more and I lose it. I grabbed the pillow from him and hit him again.

"Yen sirikiringa?"

He tries to suppress his laugh but burst out into laughter again. I don't know why the hell he is laughing and that makes me angry.

"Ethuk sirikringa??" I raised my voice a little.

"Maa.. Nee kova... kovapadrathu paka.. Semma comedy ah irukku.." He burst out into laughter again.

I glared him heaving my chest in anger. He looked at me and laughed again.

"Sirikathinga" I stomped my foot.

He closed his mouth with his hands but laughed again. I controlled the smile that urged to emerge seeing his carefree laugh.

"Ponga ponga... Naa varala movie paaka" I said and tried to move to the room.

"Maa maa" he grabbed my wrist "Seri seri kalaikala.. Vaa vanthu ukaru" 

"Illa illa..naa varala ponga"

"Seri seri sorry..." He dragged me and made me sit on the couch.

I maintained a grumpy face. He chuckled and played the movie. The movie started and I slowly got indulged in Karthik and Jessy's story. Moreover their story, I was more and more falling for Jessy. She somewhere felt similar to myself.

I felt a strong gaze on me. I tilted my head to see Ajay looking at me enjoying the movie, with a smile. I raised my eyebrows. He shook his head.

Back to Karthick now.

I turned towards the television. Karthick has travelled to Kerala to see Jessy and he is in a boat now. He jumps off the wall of a traditional kerala house where jessy is staying. My eyes shone in excitement seeing that house.

"Heyyy tharavadu" I say excited and Ajay pauses the movie.

"Ennathu?" He turned towards me.

"Illa antha veedu.. Antha maari veedu enak romba pudikum"

"Ohh.. Athuk enna sonna first uh?"

"Tharavadu... Kerala la antha maari traditional veeda apdi than solluvanga"

"Apdiya? Unak epdi theriyum ithellam?"

"Athellam theriyum.. Chinna vayasula oru vaati Tv la pathen.. Apo en paati thaa sonnanga... Athula irunth enak romba pudikum.. Kerala pona kandipa intha maari oru veetuk ponum"

"Ohh apo ungaluk travel panra idea ellam iruka madam? Illa school vita veedu.. Veedu vita school nu irupingale athaan keten" he said with a smirk.

"Neenga meeting iruntha mattum thane chennai vitu poyirkinga? Illa na neengalum office vita veedu... Veedu vita office thane?" I twisted my lips.

He sat straight and played the movie "seri seri movie pakalam"

The movie resumed and it went again like a breeze touching here and there with beautiful dialogues and background music. The movie finally ended with an unexpected climax. It really made me feel sad. I totally gave up when Jessie decided to break up, but I had hopes when they met again and felt happy when they got married in New York but it disappointed me learning that it was just the climax of Karthick's film.

"Thats not fair" I said with a pout.

Ajay just shrugged.

"Avunga onnu seranam thane Ajay?"

"Illa..." He shook his head "its just the way it should be... Ipo ivunga onnu sernthiruntha intha movie ivlo unique ah epic ah irunthurkuma nu therila... Ivlo obstacles irukumbothu antha relationship la oru peace irukathu devi.. Ivunga onnu sera try panirntha athu romba cinematic ah irunthurkum.. But ithu konjam real ah iruku la"

"Hmmm" I hummed with a sigh. He was indeed right.

"So you liked the movie?" He turned towards me.

I smiled "Nalla thaan irunthuch"

My mind wandered to how Karthick's eyes were full of love whenever he looked at Jessy.

Will anybody look at me like that ever?
