Author's POV
After taking a long bath, Thulir stepped out of the bathroom to find her mother glaring at her with anger...
Thulir simply overlooked her mother walking past and sat on the bed, drying her hair with the towel...
"What are you planning to do Thulir??"
Thulir looked at her mother and chucked at her question...
"There's not much to say, Ammu... I simply wish to marry my Agathiyan without any drama and limited human interaction... Initially, I didn't want to invite you all either, but then I thought of the others who are uninvolved in the issues, and my dear future husband who holds you all close to his heart. He especially wants his beloved brother to be there on our special day.
You are all welcome to come, and I would be pleased if you could sign as a witness on my behalf. That's all... and for your kind information even your dearest Anna and anni to agreed with this simple register marriage plan of mine and they would take care of bringing your paternal and my maternal as well as in-laws family.....You don't worry about them instead try to bring our family out of their shock and its your responsibility to bring them to Registration office tomorrow..."
Thulir smiled at her mother and that's surely not a genuine and happy smile.....
Thulir moved towards her wardrobe to find a shawl to match with her outfit as it was cold weather.....Uyir gulped the lump............
"Thulir....that.."
"You don't need to explain, Ammu. I didn't require an explanation either. I should have been more cautious upon learning that when you discovered your pregnancy with me, instead of joy, you felt concern for your dear best friend and brother first.
But I never imagined you would choose them over me. I do understand your perspective and the depth of your love and concern for your brother and Anni. I acknowledge that you are the best sister and friend, and you wanted to protect their innocent son from all this by pretending to be unaware. However, I cannot forget or forgive you for this....."
Thulir wiped her tears and walked past Uyir..
"Papa..."
"Please Ammu, I don't want to say something that I might regret later, something that could hurt us both and leave a lasting mark. You have always been a spectator unless it's your life decision. Please, remain the same now as well..."
Thulir left her room picking her Scotty's key leaving Uyir root in guilt....
Thulir descended to the kitchen and swiftly consumed a full glass of water. After inhaling deeply to soothe herself, she refilled the glass and rapidly gulped it down, triggering a fierce cough. Someone gently patted her back, aiding her composure. Tilting her head, Thulir found her father gazing at her worriedly.
At this moment Thulir have only 3 people in her life to rely on : her father, her brother, and Agathiyan...
Thulir embraced her father, seeking solace in his protective hold. Jayadev stroked her head, offering comfort....
Without breaking hug Thulir asked him..
"Am I doing anything wrong by prioritizing me Appa??"
Jayadev chuckled, cupped her face in his hands, and gently wiped away her tears...
"Its fine to prioritize ourself at times even that make us bad person in others perspective Thulir.....what matters is you would find peace and you would be happy by that....go ahead...
Yes I am not fully convinced that my elder daughter my first baby is getting married Tomorrow and I get the information an hour ago......on top of that she wants a register marriage...
But its fine.....If this what makes you happy I am happy with that too papa......
my only concern issssss."
Jayadev dragged it making Thulir frown....he narrowed his eyes at her...
"My Thulir is getting married tomorrow, but she is crying now, which might spoil her glow for the big day. Just imagine how one would look in their wedding day photo with red eyes and a swollen face from tears. It's so unfortunate—I wouldn't want my grandchildren to be frightened by that image in the photo frame which you would hung in your home's main hall."
Jayadev said seriously making Thulir glare at him...
"I quote that Paa......My nieces are Paavam "
Thuyavan joined the duo gaining hard punch on his biceps from his dear sister..
"oooowwww Akka you don't need to join gym to gain power you already possesses lot power......Now I reconsider my point.....Agathiyan maams is Paavam"
Thuyavan flexed his biceps, earning another punch from his sister as he bumped fists with his father......now Jayadev also got playful slap from his daughter
"You both laugh at each other I am leaving.."
Thulir spoke in an annoyed tone and walked past them. The duo giggled...
"By the way, where are you headed at this time?"
Jayadev asked her...she tilted her back at them...
"Nalaiku Kalyanam nu ungaluku lam theriyarathu mukiyam ila....maplaiku theriyanum la...atha sola tha poren.."
(Tomorrow is my wedding, and while it's less important for you all to know, it's crucial that the groom is aware... I'm just going to tell him.)
Both men stood there gapping, upon hearing the news, they were shocked....Thulir giggled at them...
"What if he says No..."
Thuyavan asked her with concern all his playfulness gone ...surely he can't see her getting hurt if Agathiyan rejects her wish......
Thulir smiled at him...
"Don't worry Thuyava.....your sister is immune to pain now and Agathiyan won't be the reason behind my pain.."
