Chapter 61

After a while Adi got off from her lap. He gave his hand and helped Tara stand up.

They were about to go upstairs when Adi's mother spoke

"Aditya un kita pesanum" she looked restless

Adi sighed. He was so relaxed and happy few minutes ago and now she ruined it.

"Sollunga"

"I'm sorry"

He scoffed

"Ethuku"

"Ellathukume" she looked down

"Don't you think it's too little and too late"

As usual he was met with silence.

"Adi nanum sorry ketukuren pa" Rani spoke

"Paati, na mariyathai theriyama valarala, anbu theriyama valanthen. Athu purinjiruntha neenga ipdi vanthu sorry ketitu iruka maatenga" he sighed again

Rani felt incredibly guilty

"Aditya enaku theriyum oru sorry mattum pathathu nu. Please ore oru conversation. I promise I'll listen to everything you want to tell. Kathiko, thitiko, but pesama poidatha. One chance please. Un appa vayum kupudren. Pesalam"

"Okay, first of all, avara en appa nu solaatheenga. Biologically you both are my parents but I was my own parent until my friends and Sithara came along"

Latha's heart was aching. She knew it was very, very late to apologize.

"And only one conversation. Athuku apro please don't pressure me" he said and went to the living room.

She felt relieved for a second until her guilt rushed back in.

"That is Adi. Neenga ivlo ignorant ah hurtful ah irunthirunthalum ungaluku pesa chance kuditharu paarunga." Tara said in a sad tone

Rani teared up. She didn't understand the depth of his traumas.

"Tara avan un madi la paduthitu enthiricha po avlo relaxed ah happy ah irunthan. Antha face patha odane I had a involuntary smile. First time oru motherly feeling enaku vanthuchu. Ivlo varshama en madila avan paduthathilaye nu yosikirapo kashtama iruku ma"

Tara smiled sadly.

"To be loved by Adi is an amazing feeling! Not being able to experience it is the greatest loss. Enaku ungala patha paavama iruku! He lost the burden when he left, but you lost a precious gem. I'm not sure you're worthy of his time again. Despite that, he's giving you a chance. Excuses kudithu intha conversation ah waste panatheenga. Don't try to justify the hurt you caused. Be honest. He has nothing to lose, but you have a lot to lose"

"Kandipa I won't give any excuses this time Tara"

"Dont keep him waiting. Anga poi sollunga" she said

....

Latha nodded to Rani and went to her husband's room

"Adi namma kita pesuren nu solirukan" she announced

He looked up from his book.

"Epdi okay sonan"

"Na ketu paathen. I promised we'll listen to him"

He smiled on hearing that. He stepped out without prolonging the conversation

....

Adi was nervously fidgeting in the living room. Tara came in and saw his state.

She kissed his forehead and said
"I'm proud of you Adi"

He smiled like a child

"Thanks ma"

She was about to leave when he held her hand

"Pogathe please"

She melted when she saw the expression on his face but she composed herself quickly.

"Enaku en Adi thirupi kedaikanum. Athuku you have to heal from your past. One conversation might not fix it entirely but this is a step forward. Ana you have to do it alone Adi. Confront them. Nee sirichalum seri azhuthalum seri I'll always be here when you come back. I love you"

she squeezed his shoulders and went to the garden again.

She was equally nervous but she knew he had to do it alone.

There she saw Varun and Rakesh waiting for her. They sat at two corners leaving an empty space between. She smiled and sat there. They came near her and wrapped their arms around her protectively. She was is need of emotional support too. Her brothers knew that.

...

Adi's mouth parted in surprise. How was this little woman so mature? She knew exactly what he wanted to hear. Those words meant a lot to him.

She knew every corner of his heart. She knew the best and the worst parts.

Her love was like the sky. She becomes the sun and gives him warmth when he needs it. She becomes the moon and the stars when his path gets dark.

Life without her was a big black void and he shuddered by the mere thought of it. If marriage meant having her by his side always then he felt like he was ready for it.

.....

Breaking his thoughts, two worried faces appeared in front of him.
