The F-Bomb

From a very small age, Ashwin had always been thinking that he had the worst temper. He can easily get angry and upset on people.

Until Shivanya entered his life, his role in his own life has changed.

He was no near the angry, moody and grumpy man he used to be. Instead he is the most calmest and obsequious person in the room, sitting with his hands fold over his chest and head hung low under his wife's deathly glare. 

Ashwin and Shivaan raise their head only to lower it back again as Shivanya doesn't even blink while glowering at the for using very foul languages while playing video games. The boys were caught when Shivanya came home after picking up Ashvanya from the school trip.  

Shivanya had straightly went up to call the boys down for tea time but little did she expect her six year old son drop the F-bomb right when she opened the door.

Ashvanya, who was having her much needed tea after the two days trip, eagerly watched the drama from behind. She mockingly chuckled earning a glare from the boys,

Anga yenna paakringa?

They snapped their head towards Shivanya,

Inga parunga

Shivanya sternly ordered making Ashwin and Shivaan gulp.

Ma, adhu vandhu-

Na appove sonnen! Indha vayasula games venamnu!

Shivanya shut Ashwin in a go,

Ashwin he's swearing! He's only six!

Adhu theriyudhu ma, ana-

Shivanya groans in annoyance before she angrily stomps to the kitchen, Ashwin understands that she doesn't want this conversation to happen in front of their kids. He sighs before he stands up and walks to the kitchen, leaving the kids behind.

Jaan....

Shivanya doesn't look at him, she continues to furiously scrub the undone dishes that added more to her anger, 

Jaan, avan yepdi andha word'ah kathukitan'nu enake therla. Correct'ah nee kadhava thorandha po avan apdhi kathunan. Adhuku na yenna ma pannuven?

Ashwin himself was hell shocked by his son's usage of words but before he could react Shivanya had slammed the door on both of them and he had run behind her before dealing with his son.

Shivanya closes the tap and turns around, she crosses her hands over her chest before giving a poker face to her husband's puppy face,

Appo avan yengerndhu bad words kathukitan'nu unaku theriyadhu?

Ashwin blinks cluelessly, 

Theriyadhu

Ashwin shrugs.

Ashva

Ashva sticks her head out with widen eyes wondering why is she getting pulled into this. She casually walks in ,

Yenna ma?

Ashva asks as if she hadn't been eavesdropping,

Anniki Appa Kathir mama kitta phone'la yenna word use pannaru'nu sonnae?

Ashwin's eyes go wide in shock, he could even feel a mild stinging in his chest. Ashva cups her mouth as of whispering a taboo and says,

Appa said the F-word

Ashwin jerks his gaze away from his wife's glare,

Idhae yaar unkita sonna?

Shivanya asks with her eyes fixed on Ashwin,
