Life Is You (Uyir Neethaan Endraal) - On Hold

Stepping away 😐

Without knowing what was happening he stood still for a little longer... She pressed her face more into his chest and tightened her grip around his waist, shredding tears...

Composing himself he tried to wound his shivering hands around her but before that she pulled back from the hug and rushed back to the balcony... Confused by her acts he exhaled a deep breath and followed her behind...

Without having the courage to face her he stood behind her and saw her gripping the railing gazing at the ground... Her inaudible sniffing made him feel guilty upon his behaviour...

Clearing his throat with difficulty he tried to gain her attention but she didn't turn nor lift her face up...

Surya: cha.. chandini...

His cracking voice made her grip to get tighten as she shut her eyes tightly...

Surya: chandini I'm sorr-

Chandini: podhum niruthunga...

Her cracking voice made him gulp and he held his head down as she gazed the sky wiping her tears...

Chandini: podhum Surya, endha thappum pannama kooda evlo thadava thaan sorry kepeenga...

She said shaking her head and he snapped his face towards her...

Surya: ye..yenna sollreenga...

He hardly formed a word in the utter shock and she chuckled sadly...

Chandini: aama Surya, neenga yenna thappu paneenga, en consent oda thaana neenga yenna kiss paneenga... Appo thappu en Mela thaana ...

She said titling her head to him and he nodded negatively...

Surya: appudilaam illa maa, nee endha thappum pannala maa, naa-

Chandini: illa Surya podhum, neenga othukittaalum illainaalum thappu enmela thaan, ungala thadukaama amaithiya irundhathu naa thaana, aprom eppudi ungala kutham solla mudiyum...

She said wiping her tears and he stood there shocked taking her words... When his mouth refuses to speak up she turned to him looking direct into his eyes and continued,

Chandini: unga kitta onney onnu mattum sollikuren Surya, indha 7 months agreement 7 months ku mattum irukattum, I don't want it to get any longer...

She said and his heart stopped for a moment hearing her confession...

Chandini: idhukku aprom inga nadandha incident pathi edhuvum pesikka venaam, I will keep my distance with you....

She uttered those words with zero emotion breaking his heart into millions...

Without hearing anything from him she moved from there to the bedroom and took a pillow and blanket before lying down on the couch...

He stood there frozen in the balcony recalling whatever happens just now... Feeling his body numb he sat on the bean bag and breathed in and out to ease his thudding heartbeat...

Closing his eyes tightly he rubbed his chest and pressed his lips together to control himself... A drop of tear slid down from his closed eyelids and he shook his head expecting it to be an night mare...

Nothing helped him in this moment as his eyes shredded more tears remembering her words... Her emotionless words and lifeless eyes stabbed his chest hard making him more weak...

But he knows that confronting her now wouldn't do any favour so he kept silent and stayed by the balcony shredding tears under the dark sky...
