The Silence

Their travel from Bangalore to Chennai was totally went silent.
Nithya wore her headphones and Ashok was concentrating in driving.
He tried to speak but she pretended like she doesn't hear.

He huffed and continued driving.
'Why she is doing like this?',he thought.
They reached their home.
Nithya doesn't even utter a word with him.

They entered their home.
'Nithya...',he called her she stopped.
'Yen ma ipdi panra?Is anything bothering you?Feel free to share Nithya.Nee ipdi silent ah irukuradhu nallave illa',he said.

'Nothing is bothering me Ashok.Im alright and I feel like to be silent and alone.Please disturb pannaadheenga',she said heading to their room and locked the door.
She leaned on the door and she cried.

'Im sorry Ashok ey!Enaku vera vazhi therila...Naan unga kooda close ah irundhaa neenga vittutu poradha ennaala thaangikka mudiyaadhu!I know that I hurted you,but I have no other option',she burried her face in her palms and she was sobbing.
She quickly wiped her tears and entered the washroom.She got her shower and changed her into comfortable clothes.

She opened the door and looked for Ashok he was not there.
She searched him and found him playing his play station.
Ashok looked at her.He stopped gaming and stood up.
But he doesn't talk with her,he passed her and went to the room and locked it.

He took his shower and changed into comfortable clothes.He came out with a pillow and blanket.Nithya looked at him confusedly.

'I'll sleep on the couch,you can use the bed.',he said.
'Yen?',she asked.
'Because I don't want to disturb you',he said without looking at her.
'Adhu illa.. ungaluku uncomfortable ah irukume',she said but he doesn't respond her.

He arranged the couch and lied on it.
'Sorry for disturbing,can you please switch off the lights when you go to sleep,if you feel like I'm disturbing you can tell I'll do it',he said she  turned off the lights and went to inside the room silently.
She lied on the bed.

'Am I hurting him?But I can't tolerate anymore if he leave me.I didn't even know what I'm doing.Please God,I should not hurt him in anyways.',she thought and tried to sleep but she couldn't sleep.She slowly woke up from the bed and sat on the study table and started write her incomplete story.

She couldn't concentrate on that too.
'Ughhhh...yen kadavule ipdi sodhikira enna?',she huffed.
She took a long deep breath and continued her writing.
As she was continued her writings,she looked at her mobile it was already morning 5'O clock.

'Haiyoo ivlo neram ah ukkandhu eludheerukom..',she thought and closed her notebook and pen.
She doesn't want to sleep also.
She went to the restroom and finished her morning chores.

She opened the door and jerked a little seeing Ashok standing infront the room.
He passed her and went inside the room.He went and finished his morning chores and picked his jogging suite.He wore it and went for jogging.

It was 6.00,Nithya made coffee for her and Ashok.
She drank it,as Ashok came and looked at the coffee.
'I don't want to disturb anyone.I can do everything on my own.Inime naane coffee potukuren.Neenga poda venaam',he said and took the coffee he drank it.

He went to the washroom without uttering a word.
Nithya felt really bad,she can understand he was hurt,but she was helpless.

He came out and made a bread toast and an omelette.He ate it quickly.
He was ready to leave for office.
'Im saying again,I don't want to disturb anyone.I can have my lunch in office canteen.No need to prepare anything for me and no need wait for me also',he said and left the home.

'Enaku enna panradhunu therila ma,nee enkitta pesuva nu naanum paathute iruken,nee pesave maatra..Neeya enta vandhu pesura varaikum,naan unna disturb panna maaten Nithya',he thought and left.
