What A Beautiful Face She Has

His Mother

Stella POV:
I was happy when I got to know he'll be living upstairs. I was relieved when Jeni accepted my apologies and forgave me for playing a prank on her. I wanted to tell her that I saw Mathew and he'll be living upstairs but couldn't since she wasn't in a good mood.

I went upstairs to talk to Mathew and his cousin. Ipo enna reason solli pesa pogalam. I was thinking.

Idea!!!

Snacks edhachum venumanu ketutu vara pogalam. Nice idea.

I quickly hurried to their house and rang the door bell.

His cousin opened the door.

"Ada, vanga, vanga. Ennachu nga?", he asked.

"Illa nga. Evening ayiduche edhachum tea, coffee venumanu kekka vandhen.", I lied.

"Aiyo, no need of all those formalities. Let it be.", he said.

"Aprm, marandhen poiten. Unga name ennaga? Kekave illa.", I asked.

"I'm Jonah.", he said.

"I'm Stella.", I said.

He smiled. I was searching for Mathew but he was no where to be seen.

"Avanga enga? Neenga matum irukinga?", I asked curiously.

"Avangala? Oh, avana, Avan kelambitanga avanga veetuku.", he said.

My smile faded away. What does he mean by his house?

"Avanga veeda? Apo avanga Inga shift aagalaya?", I asked.

He laughed.

"Ada, neenga vera. Naan dhan inga vazha poren. Avan veedu besant nagar, Stella. Avanuku sondha veedu iruku. Ennaku furnitures eduthu veika dhan Avan Inga vandhan.", he said.

Haiyo, ellam pochu. I thought avaru Inga vazha poraru u kanavellam kanden.

"Apo, avaru Inga varamatara?", I enquired.

"Avan varuvanga. Avanga amma Inga dha vandhu thanga poranga oru 2 masathuku so kandipa amma va parka Inga varuvan. Yen, ennachu?", he asked with curiosity.

Oh, wow. I'm gonna meet my future mother-in-law.

"Epo varanga avanga amma?", I enquired.

"Nalaiku.", he said.

I nodded and went back to my house.

"Enga d poitu vara?", my mom asked.

I lied to her saying I went to the terrace. If she gets to know I'm talking to men, she will scold me.

I entered my room and texted Jeni.

"Jeni, I'm feeling happy, d. Un kita epdi solradhunu therla."

"Ipo endha paiyana parthu manasa pari kudutha?", she asked.

"Vera yaaru, Mathew dhan.", I thought but I cannot say it to her.

After whatever happened between me and Jeni regarding Mathew, I stopped talking about Mathew to her. I'm trying my best not to involve him in our conversations so that she'll forget about that prank.

"Paiyan la illa. I'm feeling happy I don't know why."

"Hmmm... Edho iruku ana maraikira en kita irundhe."

She said and I smiled reading her text.

Epdi kandu pudicha? After all she's my bff.

Next day,

I woke up to a few noises coming from the living room. With a frown on my face, I slowly opened the door to see who it was.

To my surprise, it was Catherine and her father.
They were talking to my father and my mother was serving them, coffee.
