Thulir's POV
"Finally!!!"
I heaved a deep sigh after closing the trolley, and just as I was about to stand up, the little devils dashed towards me with even more items in their hands, which made my eyes widen in shock. Surely, these wouldn't fit in the trolley anymore, and I certainly had no intention of packing the entire house also I know what would happen now again, her Chithapa's & Chithi's, grandparents, and especially Thuyavan and my father, would spoil this duo for sure
Since Revathi Illam was already filled with our belongings and clothes and my dear daughters already have a separate room to share.....yet I am not going to let them sleep alone till 12 at least...
Children need their privacy Bla-Bla is fine but I do not supporting the idea of making them sleep in separate rooms till certain age.....Adapting the Western culture too much is not something I am very fond of mainly in parenting
I didn't have a separate room until I was 17; I shared one with my siblings, Thalir and Thuyavan. They were about 9 when I moved out. They continued to share a room until my marriage when Thalir went to the UK for her studies. Even though she could have had her room, she chose not to because she feared being alone at night, which often led to panic attacks. Since I had already moved to Tanjavor for my studies, I couldn't share a room with her,
so she stayed with Thuyavan. Despite their differences and frequent quarrels, they always supported each other. Thuyavan would visit her monthly in the UK to ensure she was well, as phone calls weren't enough for him. He encouraged her to seek therapy to overcome her fear of sleeping alone, knowing he couldn't always be by her side anymore as they were going to have their battles...
I love the bond they share than what we three have.......or now should I say what I have with my baby brother alone.......
Because my sister doesn't want my presence in her life and I did give that freedom to her....
it's been 7 years since I last spoke with Thalir......the last conversation of us was a huge fight moments before my delivery....
Sometimes seeing how Malar and Alar behaves I do miss my sister and at times I do think may be I should have been more patient with her when she was out bursting and blaming me for everything happened in her life which she herself brought.
I was already upset with her for the way she treated Thugil, and her accusation that day caused me to utter harsh words in an attempt to silence her. Even though they were facts, they came out harshly as I was overwhelmed by emotions, and the pregnancy was not easy for me. I ended up saying things I shouldn't have, but she was no less hurtful... her words wounded me deeply.
Now that she is also the daughter in law of Revathi Illam, she got things she wanted without me interference in her life, That's good for her......if she doesn't want me anymore I am not going to beg her......
You might call it an ego clash... let it be. I was born before her, and if she has that much ego and audacity, I possess twice as much.....
"Ammaaaaaaaaa pack this too"
"This drawing Book to amma I want to show this to patti"
The screams of Malar and Alar jolted me out of my series of thoughts.......I took a deep breath and looked at the duo
"what else you guys want to take bring it all....empty your cupboard and study room fully if that helps hmmm"
I said to them strenly....they both pouted and looked at each other then at me......I signed
"What exactly you guys want hmm"
I asked them they again looked at each other and spoke through eyes making me frown what are they planning now...
