Nyaabagam Varuthe

Sanjalangal

Mullai was eagerly waiting for him..wondering how the day went..and if the 2 important people in her life were comfortable with each other

She got up when he walked in

The rest of the family were surprised

Paarthu nithaanamaa Mullai ippudiya sadaarnu enthirippa..L amma chided her

Kathir ulle vanthu inga thaan ukkaara poraan..nee ethukku ivvalavu vegamaa enthirikkara..ambuttu mariyathaiya ..Dhanam fondly ribbed her

Yenga thenamum kadai poittu thirumba vara timeku thaane vanthu irukkaaru..Jeevavum Maamaavum vanthu 5 nimisham irukkuma..antha 5 nimishathula ivvalavu thavippa Meena ribbed her wiggling her eyebrows..but she whispered this to Mullai like their own private joke ..

Appa kooda ponaaga ille athaan..Mullai smiled

And Meena understood then the reason for Mullai's creased forehead

And she smiled a friendly compassionate smile

Aarvam theriyuthu ponga ponga ...oru towel edukka rendu per ethukkunnu ellam gate ah poda  maatten she giggled sticking her tongue out

Eppo paaru velaiyaattu thaan..Mullai retorted but followed him to the room

He was grabbing a fresh towel and leaving to the backyard to freshen himself up

He was amused at the tension on her face and he had that automatic need to pull her leg a bit

Giving her a big smile naan poi kai kaal alambittu varen he said and walked out before she could stop him

He was splashing water on his face when she came and stood taking the towel he had hung out on the clothesline..

Not wanting to pull her leg anymore he asked Enna theriyanum..he grinned

She stood saying nothing

Unga appava nalla bathirama paarthu kitten..avar pesinappo pesinen..pesaama rest eduthapo disturb pannaama gammunu irunthen...vela velaikku saappida vechen..thanni elani ellam vaangi kuduthen pothuma..

She smiled then..but it was not the happy kind he expected...she handed him the towel..

Seekkiram vareengala saappaadu eduthu vaikkaren..

He stood looking at her walking to the kitchen..

He hurried behind her ..

Ellarum saappittaangala..

Hmm aachu

Nee

Ungalukku wait pannen..

He pulled a chair over and made her sit..

He took 2 plates and served the food for both of them

She took the offered plate and they both ate in silence

He wondering what was running through that pretty little head of hers

She acting like the food on her plate was the only important thing in her life just then

They finished dinner and retired to their room..

He got in and waited for her to settle down next to him

She lay down and there was silence for a few minutes

Pona vishayam enna aachu she asked

Ella edathulayum vasool pannittom..

Oh nallathu..appa kku nimmathiya irukkum..pona maasame innum 2 vaatti intha mathiri vasool panna veetta meettudalaamnu sonnaaru

Oh appudiya ..seri seri
