~~~~~~~~~~Vignesh~~~~~~~~~~
Next day, Hearing the knock on the door, I woke up first. I saw Neeraja still sleeping. Yesterday she felt it difficult to sleep without light. And we had a tired night yesterday busy fighting with each other.
Leaving her still asleep , I went and opened the door to find Neeraja's elder sister - Krishnajakshi.
She gave me a sheepish smile and looked behind me.
"Don't disturb her. Let her wake up on her own" I said to her. Krishna akka nodded her head with a smile. Not a normal smile but a sheepish teasing smile.
Seeing me look at her, "hmm.. ok ok we won't disturb her. She must be tired after yesterday night"
"what??"
While we were talking , Neeraja woke up. Obviously she would have woken up to my loud voice. I just can't control my high pitch voice.
When she came out of the room her sister caught hold of her hand and took her few metres away from me. With the hush hush talk and enthusiasm seen in Krishna akka's face, I know what might be the question. Neeru was feeling shy and looked at me through the corner of her eyes.
I went near them.
"Krishna akka.. did you and your husband consummate marriage on your first night? Can you tell us your interesting first night story?" I asked her making her eyes go wide in shock.
Even Neeru was shocked and pinched me. Needless to say, Krishna akka left , rather I must say, she literally ran from the place leaving Neeraja.
"Why do you talk like that to my sister? Its all their private . Why do you want to ask that?" Neeru questioned me.
"the same applies to us as well. If any one asks you anything about what happened, just say 'whatever happened in their first night with their husband happened to us as well'"
Neeraja zigzagged her lips left right and went leaving me, while I sauntered towards my room. But I was blocked suddenly by Deva.
"Need badam Milk or Pista milk?" He queried me. Not in a friendly manner or with real concern. A sarcasm was seen on his tone.
"Why is there a sarcasm in your tone?" I asked.
"New groom would be very tired with heavy workout yesterday, so .." He trailed off.
"Dei... if you are thinking of taking revenge for what I did, I am not in for it. Don't intrude in to my personal matters"
"adhepdi thambi vida mudiyum unna. enna pechu pesina nee. Dei nan paravala da 7'0 clock ku elundruchutan en first night ku apram. Nee ennada mani 9 aga podhu inum elundrukala. Adhuvum Kadava thatinadhuku apram dhan elundheenga sir"
(How can I leave you just like that? Don't you remember what all you did to me? Atleast I woke up at 7'0 clock in the morning the day after my first night. Whereas you woke at 9'0 clock. That too you woke up after hearing the knock on the door)
"Leave me, I need to go to my room"
"vaaipila raja. apdiye escape agalamnu pakkara. Mudiyadhu. Sattai lan bayangrama kasangi irukey. Shirt button la oru mudi iruku, rendu maali poo collar kita iruku. Apdiye cinema la katra maariye vandhrukiye da"
(Don't try to escape from me. I could see you shirt disheveled, a small strand of hair on your shirt button, a flower on the collar. You look exactly like how they show in movies.)
"Dei.. if you roll here and there on the bed, obviously your shirt would get wrinkles. And I don't have this much long hair . Also I don't have the habit of adorning jasmine flower. It is Neeraja's. She was the one who fell on top of me"
