Ashwika

One by one the players were called and they entered the field, the crowd cheered but also distracted the players. So far, no one has hit the pot on time and I feel bored. I get the staff from Siva and start playing with it.

"Maa, paathu ma, adi paatuda pothu, ithula romba valikum," (Maa, be careful while playing with the staff, it will hurt a lot if you get hit by hit), Siva says with a concern in his voice and just keep looking at him.

Even in the state of being blindfolded he is very much caring but other employees in the office are scared of him

Even in the state of being blindfolded he is very much caring but other employees in the office are scared of him. I still don't understand whether I haven't seen that aggressive side of him or they haven't seen the caring side of him.

He searches for me addressing me as Maa and I really like it. All my life, everyone has called me by my name or addressed me as Thangachi (younger sister).

He is the only one who is addressing me in this way and everytime when he calls me with that name something happens inside me.

"Maa, reply pannu, maa, irukiya ah?" (Maa, please reply, maa, Are you there?)

"Haan iruken," (Yeah, I'm here only).

"Amma unga veetla unga amma eppadi ma pesuranga" (Amma, in your house how your mother is speaking with you?) Siva asks by massaging his throat

"Amma unga veetla unga amma eppadi ma pesuranga" (Amma, in your house how your mother is speaking with you?) Siva asks by massaging his throat.

"En?" (Why?)

"Romba katha vaikuriye maa, athan keten. Seri antha silambatha kodu" (You are making me scream a lot, that's why I asked so. OK give me that staff) I give him the staff and he checks it by trying to bend it and moving his hand up and down.

Then suddenly he yells in pain and I ask him, "Ena achu?" (What happened?)

"Kooru etho kutiduchu pola," (Some sharp wooden piece has poked) he replies and judders his hand.
