Abhi - Vetri : Vol 1 [Completed]

Kallukull Eeram - 10

A week later,

Standing in front of the mirror, Abhi was tying her saree.

She tucked the frontal pleats inside her petticoat and was adjusting it.

"Murugana nalla manasula vendikittu intha thottilla sthala vrikshathula kattidunga koodiya seekiram nalla seidhi varum...."

She recalled the priest's words and tying the cradle on the tree.

A: Naan pregnant anna eppadi iruppen? 🤔 Oru look test panni parkalam....

She picked a small cushion and stuffed it inside making it look like a baby bump then draped her saree over it. She admired her pregnant self in the mirror. 

A: Choo cute! Idhu mattum real'aa irundhaa eppadi irukkum?

She wondered how it would be like to have a real baby. Kissing her fingers, she touched it on her stomach.

A: Koodiya seekirame idha nijamaaki kaatturen....idhu indha Abhi Abhi'ku vidra savaal! 👍🏼

A thought occured to her. She looked at her bump.

A: Un appavukku bayam kaattalama? Kaattiduvom!

Abhi sat on the bed leaning against the bed frame while waiting for Vetri.

Vetri came in. Not looking at her direction, he picked his towel and went to the bathroom. Abhi waited for Vetri.

Throwing the towel on the table, Vetri removed his dirty black shirt and hung it on the hanger.

A: Dinner eduthu vaikava purushhh?

V: Onnum vendaa....naan saapttu dhan vandhean....rombha tired'aa irukku...thoongina podhum'nu irukku....

Even while saying so he did not look at her. Abhi got up and stood aside in a manner for him to note her but he did not.

A: Enna...nammala kandukave maatenguraaru....

To get his attention Abhi pushed the brass vase on the table. It fell down and the clinking sound irritated him.

V: Aei! Summa irukka maatiyaa'di nee eppo paaru edhayavadhu pottu urutti.....kittu....

He turned. He saw Abhi and his gaze automatically trailed towards her protruded stomach. He was flabbergasted and his eyes popped out of the sockets.

Abhi pretended to bend slowly and carefully like a pregnant lady to pick up the item she dropped.

V: Epp...padi id...idhu?😰

He stuttered.

A: Haan....enna ketta? Naama rendu perum sandhichu ondra maasam aaga poguthu adhula ithana naal orey room'la irundhirukkom eppo nadandhadhunu yaarukku theriyum....naan thooka kalakathula irundhapo enna panneengalo....idhukku saatchiyaa vechika mudiyum....😏

She suppressed a giggle seeing his panic-stricken face. She supported her back with one arm and rubbed her belly with her other hand.

A: Aiyoooo amma....nee vera summa iru'da...ungappana mathiri settai pannikittu....

V: Aei! Amma sathiyama naan'laam edhuvum pannala....thaaliya potten adhu mattum dhan ...appuram thalli dhan thoongittu irundhen...unna thappana ennathula thodala....

Abhi was not someone to leave him alone. She riled him up some more.

A: Adangappa....onnum theriyaadha pacchaa paappa ivaru....annikku cycle'la ponavanukku Ferrari car ootta ippodhan oru chance kedaichirukku sonnadhu yaaru? Enna appadiye saapidra maathiri paarthadhu yaaru?
