A Baker And A Billionaire (Completed)

Chapter 36

After a scenic 8-hour drive, the group finally arrived in Pollachi, a picturesque town nestled in the foothills of the Western Ghats. As they entered the town, they were struck by its natural beauty. Lush green fields, swaying coconut trees, and sparkling waterfalls greeted them at every turn.

"Wow, Pugazh anne. Unga ooru romba azhaga iruku!" Sivaangi exclaimed, pointing to a majestic waterfall cascading down a rocky slope.

"Pahh, Namma oorla lam konja space kedacha podhum veedu kattiruvanga. But look here. It's feels amazing." Monisha added, gazing out at the endless expanse of coconut groves and paddy fields.

As they made their way through the town, they noticed the warm and welcoming locals, who smiled and waved at them. The air was filled with the nature.

"Edhukeva thango, innum neraiya iruku pappinga. You are going to enjoy the days here." Pugazh said, grinning.

"I think. We're going to have an amazing time here!" Aisha exclaimed rubbing her hands.

"Enna onnu, ivan thollaiya dhan thanga mudiyadhu." Dharshan said making face at Pugazh.

That made both of them to start arguing as usual, making others close their ears.

The group drove past the bustling markets, where vendors sold everything from fresh produce to colorful handicrafts. They saw women in vibrant sarees and men in traditional dhotis, all going about their daily lives with a sense of peace and contentment.

As they reached their destination, a cozy homestay surrounded by lush gardens, they stopped their car infront a large house.

Pugazh got down first cracking his knuckles. Ashwin stepdown next holding a sleeping akash in his arms. While everyone got down with their bags and luggages.

Pugazh's family came outside to welcome them. The house, a traditional villa, had a sloping terracotta-tiled roof, supported by wooden pillars, and walls adorned with intricate carvings. The entrance had a beautifully crafted wooden door with a brass knocker in the shape of a lion's head.

"Mummy, unna pathu evlo naal achu" Pugazh said dramatically wiping his fake tears went to hug his mother.

"Deii thalra naaye!" His mother pushed him aside and went to welcome others with huge smile.

"Vanga, vanga! Ellarum epdi irukeenga! Nalla irukingala ?" his mom exclaimed, beaming with pride, as they walked inside the spacious verandah surrounded by potted plants and a swing.

Pugazh gave his mother a pained look clutching his heart while everyone bursted out laughing and then he introduced everyone to his family.

"Ashwin, dharshan epdi irukinga pa?" Pugazh's father enquired them while walking inside with them.

While pugazh's nephew and niece ran and hugged Ashwin and dharshan. As his family already know about them. They already visited his home once.

Pugazh's elder sister, Kavitha, greeted them with a warm smile. "Ellarum kalaichi poi vandhurupinga, first fresh ayitu vanga. Lunch ready ayitu iruku sapdalam" as she led them into the high-ceilinged living room with its polished wooden floor and furniture.

His brother-in-law, Suresh, shook hands with the group. "Welcome to our home" as he gestured to the comfortable seating area with its vibrant cushions and colorful tapestries.

"Ashwin, Dharshan eh epdi thango irukinga. Pathu romba naal achu." Pugazh's grandmother, Parvathi, asked touching their cheeks as they bent to touch her feet.

Then she turned towards sivaangi and held her hand. "Latchanama iruka! Un per enna ma." She asked sivaangi who was standing beside Ashwin.

"En Peru Sivaangi paati. Ivan ennoda thambi. Iva en friend monisha." She introduced them and Ashwin introduced his sister to everyone while Parvathi blessed the group with a gentle touch on their heads. As she sat in her favorite armchair.
