Devi maa and sivaangi settled in the couch after having devi maa's special mushroom biriyani for lunch.

"Amma...ayyo unga mushrrom biriyani vere level. Ippo purinchidichu ithu yen avaroda favouritenu. Naan eppo maa ippadi nalla samaykka poreno?

(It tastes so good. When will learn cooking?)

"Athu unga kalyanthukku approm pathikalam" devi maa mentioned giving her a bowl of her favourite elaneer payasam.

(You can learn after your wedding)

"Amma...enakku innum 1 year venom. Naan career ile settle aaganum athukkaprom kalyanam pannikkalam. Naan ashwin kitte already solliten. Enakku time venum" sivaangi uttered with a slight discomfort having the payasam.

(I don't want to get married soon. I want to concentrate on my carrier)

"Athepdi ma avanukku vayasu already athigamayidichu approm 1 varsham koode extend panna eppadi seri varum. Unakku kalyanathukku approm carrier ile settle aayidam la?

(How's it possible. Ashwin is already aged)

Sivaangi's face turned pale

Appdi yaarchu un kitte sonna kekka koodathu seriya? Unakku enna pudikkumo athu pannu. Unakku mattum dhan rights irukku" Devi maa took sivaangi's hand and said.

(Don't take it serious)

"Thankyou amma enna understand panrathakku"

" Unakku oru vishayam theriyuma naanum en kalyanathakku munnadi inum padikkanunnu asa patten aana en veetil yaarum en pechu gavanikkala. Appo naan rumba aasa patten yaarchu enne purinjikkonnu aana yaarum pannala .

Ashwinoda appakku ithu pathi theriyathu ana enakku aasa eppothum irunthirichu  kalyanathakku approm ashwinoda akka athukku approm ashwin appadiye en lifum antha flowile poyidichu.

Ippo thirumbi paakumbothu naan en lifile happy dhan aana naan enakkage sila vishayangal pannanonnu aasa petten athu nadakalla.

Unakku appadi vara koodathu sivaangi. Ashwinum ippo dhane career ile settle aayitirukken. Neeyum appadi dhan unakku eppo naan kalyanathakku readynnu thondrutho appo pothum kalyanam kozhantha ellam.

Nee happy aa iru ma ippo jollya oru tension responsibility onnum vena yena kalyanathukku approm niraye responsibilities edukkanom appo unakku thonna koodathu nee un dreams sacrifice pannennu. Seriya?

Naan ithu varekkum yaar kittem ithe pathi pesanathilla ana ennamo un kitte sollanonnu thonichu" Devi maa was all emotional recollecting how she compromised her desires and dreams.

(Even i want to pursue my dreams but no one agreed. So you shouldn't sacrifice your happiness for others) 

"I promise maa" Tears flowed down from sivaangi's cheek learning the sacrifices that devi maa had taken.  She pressed devi maa's hand in a comforting way.

Devi maa had a long heart to heart conversation with sivaangi.

Isn't it true sometimes we have conversations with people that we have just met but we feel a different connection with them a different vibe with them.

Devi maa and sivaangi took just few hours to get connected.

Ashwin stood there startled behind the door listening to their heartfelt conversation. He  had made an excuse to his room from the duo for an important call from one of his directors. But what he saw in front of his eyes was not expected. He was feeling complete. But what affected him the most was the sacrifices his mother had made.

Sivaangi was observing ashwin and understood that he has listened  to their conversation by the change of his expression.

"Ashwiney eppo vantha? Inge vaa elaneer payasam sapdu semmaya irukku"

(When did you come? Come have the payasam)

She gave a twinkling blink assuring him.

To understand each other without even uttering a word is a different kind of a intimacy. They both effortlessly had this connection. 

"Kutties, naan poyi rest eduthittu varen. Naan oru kutti nap edukkren. Neengalum payasam sapitiitu rest edukku ok vaa?

(I'm going to take rest)

Devi maa patted ashwin's head and went to her room.

Ashwin went and sat near sivaangi in the couch.

"Ashwiney enakku theriyum neenga ellam kettitirunthen. Unga ammakku avanga studies continue pannanonnu asai irunthichu ana ethum nadakala nama yen avangale help panna koodathu? Ippo neraye distant education policy irukku athu vechu she can go for her higher studies. Age is not at all a matter.  Now she don't have any responsibilities,  so ippo avanga freeya thane irukken. Na vena application form fill panni send pannatta?  An excited sivaangi jumped to his lap.

(I know you listened to our conversation. shall we help your mom pursue her dreams?)

Ashwin slowly moved closer to her and held her from her waist. Sivaangi closed her eyes out of this sudden proximity. It was not new for her to experience this side of ashwin but she was experiencing this after months.

Ashwin whispered near her ears brushing his lips over her soft ears "I never loved someone this much. I'm the luckiest one to get you in my life ma"

Sivaangi smiled.

His lips moved to hers making all the insecurities, misunderstandings flew away.

They both felt their love for each through the long kiss, that longing that they had for each other.

He then rolled his fingers over her neck "you're the best thing ever happened to me"

She chuckled and hugged him.

She looked extremely beautiful in his eyes after the kiss.

"Nee romba azhaga irukka sivaangi. Don't blush like this I wont be able to control"

(You look so beautiful)

"Po ashwineyy enakku vekkam vekkama varuthu"

(Stop it. I'm feeling shy)

"Rowdy, I would do anything to spend my whole life with you!

Her eyes were welled up and her voice was shaking.

" Enakku un koodave irukkanom ashwin. I don't want to lose you again"

(I just want to be with you)

He slowly caressed her cheeks with his fingers  "today I strongly believe that god has given me something very precious to treasure and I promise you that I will never stop loving you. 

Nee eppadi ma en ammakage ivlo yosikkren?

(How do you think so much for my mom?)

"Devi maa ippo enakkum amma dhane. You know I have two mommies now. I'm I the most blessed one? En ammakkage avangalodu santhoshathukkage nan ithu pannanonnu nenachen. Eppadi? en idea pudichirukka? Sivaangi held his shirt collar and asked him with her usual chirpiness.

(She is also my mom. I want to do it for her happiness. How is y idea)

"Enakku unnayum pudichirikku unnoda idea yavum pudichirikku" ashwin chuckled by kissing her nose tip

( I like you and your idea too)

"Appadiya? Kumareyy neenga theritinge"

(Is that so?)

Their day was filled with smiles and happy conversations.

 They felt safe around each other's embrace after a very long time.
