"My wife"

Ajay

"Deii jay... Nee Mohan kitta intha bill ah kuduthudu seriya?" Krishnan uncle, Geetha's father gives me a bill. "Romba thanks da Jay" he pats my forearms.

"Ethuk uncle Thanks ellam solringa?" I smiled at him.

"Illa pa..vazhakama oru kalyanam na uravukaaranga ellam vanthu othuzhaipanga aana.." He sighs and shakes his head "apdi enna thappu pannen nu theriyala.. En ponnu aasa padra paiyanuk kalyanam panni kudukalam nu nenachen.. Jadhi ellam pakala.." He smiles slightly "ana neenga naalu peru sontha thangachi kalyanam mathiri ella velayum seiringa.. Enak romba udhavi ya irukupa.. Thaniya epdi manage panuven nu theriyama irunthen"

I nod at him and hugged him "Ponnu santhosham thaa mukyam nu avunga yaaru pechayum kekala pathingala.. Neenga oru nalla appa uncle"

He patted me and pulled back and smiled at me widely. He nodded his head and moved inside. I waved a bye to the three idiots guiding the men who are working on the awning.

"Deii chitti purusha enga da pora??" Rakesh calls out.

"Deii kondruven da unna.." I warned him.

They laughed seeing my annoyed face. They always do this. Three of them always form a team and annoy me. I stroded towards them and hit Rakshan's back hardly. He yelps but doesn't seem to stop laughing.

"Maapla azhaga irukka da" Pragan wards evil eyes off from my annoyed face.

"Kovam vantha chitti purushanoda azhage thani macha" Rakesh says.

"Mavane.. Yaaru da chitti.." I hit on his head continuously while he laughs.

I left him and sighed heavily while they suppressed their laugh. I scoffed and turned to leave.

"Seri seri.... Poyi rest eduthut night devi yum kooptu vaa da.. Dinner inga sapdalam" Pragan says.

I turn to them and nodded my head after thinking for a minute.

"Partner devi ellam kootit vara vendam" Sarath says and three of us frowned at him.

"Illa partner oru cutting podalam.. Pontatiya kootit vantha sangu thaan.. Athaan sonnen"

Pragan and Rakesh looked at me.

"Mapla Devi epdi da.. kovapaduvala illa chill ah irupala" Rakesh asked.

Enaku epdi daa theriyum

I cry in my mind.

"Enaku ennamo oomai rani namma munnadi Chill ah irunthut... Veetuk poyi nalla naalu kuthu mudhugulaye kuthuva nu thonuthu.." Sarath says and I gulp.

Its been a long time since I had fun with these idiots. It would be fine if I drink. Oru naal thane. But what will Devi say? Will she beat like how Sarath said.

"All the best mapla" Pragan pats my shoulders "Ozhunga vanthu seru.. Pontati adipa nu varama irukatha"

I nod my head slowly and walked away. I opened the gate and saw Mohan uncle's car missing. He might have gone out. I kept the bill inside my pocket safely before removing my slippers.

"Enaku sathyama antha paiyan epdi un kooda kudumbam nadathuran nu puriala"

I hear a lady's voice from inside and frowned. About whom is she speaking? I looked inside and found a lady sitting on the sofa, her back facing me and Devi opposite to her with her head low. Shobha aunty is sitting on the chair opposite to them.

"Ozhunga oruthuvunga kitta pesa theriyathu.. Pazhaga theriyathu... Oru kudumbama ellarum irunthalum... Roomuk ullaye irukka vendiyathu... Ithula teacher vera.." That lady says and turn to Shobha aunty "Kozhantha pethukitta... Atha pathukanum la.. Athuk paal kudukanum.. Kulipatanum.. Thoonga vaikanum... Apro sugama room uk ulla thaniya irukka mudiyathu la.. Athunala thaa innum pethukaama irukka" that lady says and Sreedevi sobs harder.
