Avanum Ivalum Naduvule Nanum

Chapter 19

Saritha groaned softly as she felt someone shaking her body. She opened her eyes sleepily.

Her eyes widened in recognition as she saw Anirudh's face close up while the man's eyes widened before he cleared his throat and stepped away.

Saritha blushed slightly before clearing her throat while Anirudh carried the baby in his arms.

" Yenge vanturukom?" Saritha said in an awed expression as she eyed the dense lush forest.

She raised her eyebrows in surprise as she heard a bark. Jacky and the little boy were standing together with a backdrop of a large house.

She turned around and saw Anirudh grabbing the bags they managed to bring with them before walking towards the boy and the mongrel.

" Sir! Wait what place is this? Yepidi inge namma police kitte matame vanturukum ?" Saritha said as she jogged towards Anirudh.

Anirudh ignored her before pressing the calling bell. The door immediately opened causing Saritha to blink while the man infront of them looked incredulously at Anirudh.

" Deyh! Rendu varathule yepidi da unake baby and child lam kedaichirike?" The man said causing Anirudh to roll his eyes.

" Deyh just miss le uyir tapichu vanturuken, née vere yenda," Anirudh said and walked inside.

Saritha swallowed her saliva and looked at the tall man. The man gave a small smile and ushered her inside causing her to exhale her breath and thanked him as she passed by him.

" Amma! Deer!" The boy whispered as he clutched her hands pointing to the wall where a head of a deer was mounted.

Saritha nod her head as she eyed the hall, noticing the guns and animal head mounted along the wall.

The man cleared his throat and gave her a small smile, ushering her upstairs.

Saritha swallowed her saliva as he opened a door and walked inside. She exhaled her breath when she saw Anirudh inside the room with the baby sleeping on the bed.

" Un things lam yedutu vantutanga, um née one person nu nenaichanga...ipidi extra lam allu kutitu vare yenda solala?" The man said while Anirudh looked at Saritha.

" Ithu Hrishikanth, yen brother. Ivanga Saritha, athu avanga son-" Anirudh began when the boy shouted appa and hugged his legs much to Hrishikanth's shock while Saritha rubbed her forehead.

" Avanga ode son nu née solre paiyan unne appa nu kupduran," Hrishikanth said causing Saritha to shake her head.

" The biggest mystery in my life," she said causing Hrishikanth to furrow his eyebrows.

" Apo ninge delivery room ke pogathe son and daugther?" Hrishikanth said causing Saritha to burst out laughing while Anirudh blinked seeing her carefree face for the first time.

Saritha wiped her tears of mirth and nodded her head while Hrishikanth chuckled.

" Yetho onnu, ippo ulle situation le yethum yaarkitayum solatinge. Ani um Saritha sorry but I feel its better if you both along with the children stay in this room. My room is next to yours and namma rendu room kum attached bathroom athunale safe ah irrupom," Hrishikanth said causing Anirudh to furrow his eyebrows.

" Deyh namala thaan inge safe house le-" Anirudh said causing Hrishikanth to shake his head and covered Anirudh's mouth.

" Lower down your voice! First of all, ange city le irunthu thaan escape airukum okay! But namma safe ah illaye nu sollamudiyathu! Inge ullavanga yelarume high profile people and the ones that saved us...their dangerous! I mean it Ani," Hrishikanth said causing Anirudh to frown.

" Amma told me that-" Anirudh said causing Hrishikanth to shake his head.

" Amma is not here! She doesn't know how this people and place function. Unne oru allu thaan nu sonnaga but now you arrived with others!" Hrishikanth said causing Anirudh to rub his forehead.

" Ithu periappa ode farmhouse thana," Anirudh said causing Hrishikanth to let out a resigned breath.

" Athu inthe lockdown ke munne, ippo namala yaar safe ah inge veraikum direction kudutangaolo, avanga solrathu thaan! Look there's a few more family and people staying here. Just watch out of your words specially! Ivanga namaku related ille nu terinja, yenna pannuvanganu teriyathu," Hrishikanth said in an omnious tone.

Saritha's face turned white as she looked at the brothers in trepidation while Anirudh exhaled his breath and glanced at Hrishikanth, looking right into his eyes and seeing the truth in his brother's gaze.

" Seri namma rendu perum oru room and ivanga and the boy can sleep here ?" Anirudh said to Hrishikanth who exhaled his breath.

" Not always Anirudh. You have to maintain that you're a family. Mothele née oru famous Ana allu. Yepidi inthe baby and anthe child ah pathi yaarukum teriyathu ? Athu lam neethan samalikanum," Hrishikanth said causing Anirudh to smack his own forehead.

" Ithu yepidi da naa samalika poren?" Anirudh said while Saritha cleared her throat.

" Why don't we just keep quiet first ? Avanga yenna solrangu nu partutu aprom namma yetachum solalam ?" Saritha said causing Hrishikanth to nod while Anirudh looked at her.

" We have to get a story straight. Er thambi, naa yaaru ?" Hrishikanth said causing the boy to tilt his head.

" Teriyathu," the boy mumbled. He nod and pointed Anirudh who the boy said as appa and the pointed Saritha himself and said amma.

" Alright, I will say that I know he was casually dating a person but I didn't know that he had children. The boy's really genuine so we don't have to worry on that. " Hrishikanth said.

" We were casually dating 6 years ago. One night stand and I got pregnant. He didn't know until we bumped to each other and then poof another one night stand and I was pregnant with her. So he decided to buy that flat so that we can move in there since I was broke and practically lived in slum. " Saritha said looking at Hrishikanth who blinked.

" Seriously! Anirudh! Yenda unake paiyan irrukan nu amma kitte solla vendiyathane ! Athe vitutu privacy nonsense nu poi solirka!" Hrishikanth said causing Anirudh and Saritha to blink.

" Sir sir inthe story appo nambure mathiri irruka ?" Saritha said causing Hrishikanth to look at her in surprise.

" Appo unmai athu illaya ?" Hrishikanth said causing Saritha to shake her head.

" Seri Anirudh character terinjavangaluku kandipa nambuvanga," Hrishikanth said as he eyed them suspiciously.

" Jacky ?" The boy asked looking at Anirudh who glanced at Hrishikanth.

" He will stay with Hrishi at night," Anirudh said causing Hrishikanth to give him a displeased look.

" Pakki! Seri ninge inge irrunge. Major vantutaruna avangala kupduvanga," Hrishikanth said and walked into the bathroom and left to his room via the bathroom.

Saritha and Anirudh glanced at each other wondering what sort of place they are stucked in right now.
