Chapter 66

2:30 a.m,

Aadhi woke up hearing whimpers and turned to see nila sitting on the bed clutching her stomach. He quickly sat up.

Aadhi- ma enna aachu.. yen alugura..? Vayiru valikutha romba..

She nodded pressing her lips together. He rubbed her back, calming her.

Aadhi- seri kudikka hot water eduthutu varatta..

She slowly nodded, sobbing. He moved to kitchen and boiled the water and poured it in a glass then took some fenugreek in his hand, moving to their room.

Aadhi- ma.. inth-

He stopped when nila rushed to washroom, palming her mouth. He kept the glass and fenugreek on the table and rushed behind her. She puked, holding the slab beside the sink. He gathered her hair and rubbed her back.

She tiredly washed her face and mouth and leaned on his chest. He caressed her hair and made her to sit on the stool then cleaned the sink and slab. He moved to closet took her dress and entered the bathroom. He kept a towel dress and pad on the slab.

He stood before her and cupped her cheeks and lifted her face up to see him.

Aadhi- ma.. fresh panitu vaa.. naa wait panren..

She nodded with a small smile and he pecked her forehead then moved out of the bathroom. She refreshed and changed her dress into a long shirt which reached till her thighs and a shorts. Then went out of the bathroom to see him standing beside the bathroom door.

Aadhi- ipo okay ah da.. yethachum venuma..

She shook her head and hugged him. He hugged her back and pecked her hair, caressing her back. Then lifted her moving to the bed and made her lay on the bed and joined her.

Aadhi- pain eh irukaathu nu sonna..??

Nila- naa epo sonnen..??

Aadhi- inga vanthapo first time unaku periods aachu la.. apo..?

She looked down at his chest, playing with his chain. He lifted her face by her chin.

Aadhi- enna ma nee.. uncomfortable aaga onnumey illa.. normal and natural thaana ithu.. nee ipdi iruntha naa epdi unaku maternity napkins laa change panna help pannuven sollu..

She gasped and slapped his chest slightly.

Nila- aadhi..

Aadhi(chuckled)- enna di.. naa panna koodatha..??

She kept silent, playing with his chain. He lifted her face.

Aadhi- inga paaru ma.. naa summa pechuku yethum sollala.. aama enaku.. nammaluku.. paapa venum aana ithellamey nee healthy ah okay sonna dha.. en manasu kashtam aagum, ria paapa mattumey podhum, unaku ria mela irukura paasam koranjurum nu laa nenaikaatha.. ithu namma life ah irunthalum nee dha sumakka pora.. so yosichu mudivu edu.. we both are there for you.. always..

She look up at him with adoration, respect and love filled eyes. He smiled at her.

Aadhi- it's not kind of deadline work.. we have our lifetime.

He pecked her forehead and lay flatly on the bed, making ria to lay on his chest and nila too kept her head on his chest. He kissed ria's forehead and nila's crown before dozing off. Nila smiled at ria and imagined how small and chubby she might be looking in her infancy stage and that itself rushed the acceptance of carrying a baby in her womb, who might resemble like ria with doe eyes, chubby cheeks, small bubbly hands, legs. A mini aadhavan.
