I am Soulfully Yours

Stealing the lone time

Arjun came near Sadhana. Arjun was about to touch Sadhana 'Sadhana ma...naan..' that's when they heard a knock on the door. Arjun groaned in frustration.

'Naan santhoshama konja iruntha...ivangalukku pudikathe' he murmured to himself which was heard by Sadhana. She chuckled at his reaction. Arjun opened the door.

'Anna..anni..Thatha paati vanthutaanga..unga rendu peraiyum vara sollranga' Varun came and told them and went from there.

They both looked at each other and smiled in disappointment and went to meet their grandparents. Their grandparents Sivagami & Chidambaram came to meet Sadhana & Arjun after the day of their marriage.

'Naanga vanthathu kooda theriyama..Roomla enna pannitu irukinga?' Sivagami asked to look at Sadhana.

Sadhana was just fidgeting with her duppatta. She didn't know what to answer. Before she could answer,

'Sadhanava naan thaan kopten..ava ennoda luggage arrange pannitu iruntha' Arjun came for rescue.

'Naan avala ketta..nee yenda badhil solra..avalukku solla theriyatha?' she snapped back to him.

'Aiyo paati...avara thitathinga..naan thaan avar oorlenthu vanthathum avarukku help panlaamnu roomku ponen' Sadhana couldn't bear Arjun being scolded.

Sivagami paati stared at both of them and burst out laughing.

'Ennada thangamgala..paati paathu bayanthutingala?' Sivagami asked them.

'Sivagami naane bayanthuten..paavom pullainga..avanga bayapadama?' Chidambaram thatha said to sivagami paati.

All the elders chuckled at seeing the couple's horror reaction about the paati's stunt after meeting her grandchildren.

'Summa solla koodathu..purushanum pondatitym oruthar oruthar vittu kudukaama pesaringa. epavum ipdiye irukanum..puritha?' Sivagami paati caressed sadhana and Arjun's head fondly.

'Unna paatha yaaruku thaanda thita thonum..Veetu kuthu vilaku maari iruke' Sivagami said Sadhana. She smiled and both got blessings from grandparents.

'seri..Vishwa...naama Sadhanaku thali prichi kokanum illa?' Chidambaram said to Vishwanath.

'Aama pa..aana..inniki thaan arjun london lenthu vanthu irukaan..'Vishwanth said.

'En pa..Arjun...unakku ok thaane nalaiku..Unakku edhuvum problem ah?' Sivagami paati asked.

'Apdilaam onnum illa..paati..enakku eppavume ok thaan' arjun said looking at sadhana and stressed the last sentence to express his feelings indirectly. Sadhana couldn't stop her cheeks turning in pink. She moved from there to the kitchen to help her mother in law, and chithis.

'Athai..naan..help panren' she said by looking at vasanthi, Chitra & Rama (Chitra & rama are Arjun's Chithis).

'Vendam Thangam..nanga paathukarom..Nee po..' said Chitra to sadhana.

'Aiyo..Athai..enakku romba bore adikuthu..naan panrene' she whined like a kid.

'Ennathu...bore adikutha? ippa thaan Arjun oorlenthu vanthu irukaan..avanoda iru..idha naanga paathukarom' Rama teased Sadhana.

'Aiyao..avar kooda thaniyava..anga escape aaganumnu thaan naan inga vanthu irukken..avaru paakarthu paathave enakku ennavo pannuthu' she thought to herself.

'Illa athai...avaru rest edukarau..ethuku disturb pannaum. Athu vara naan help panrene' she said to them.

Sivagami came to the kitchen by the time sadhana said this.

'Vasanthi..Naama nalaikku functionku Sadhanakum arjunkum dress eduthudalaam' she came saying to Vasanthi.

'Seri athai..Arjun rest edukaran..naama evening polaama?' vasanthi asked sivagami.
