Mine, my beloved [Discontinued]

Ganga

“Mama, please switch to the polimer channel,” Mama lends me a dubious glance. We're both seated on the couch and were having our breakfast while watching the television...

Mama is a good cook—upma wasn't a food that I would eat without scrunching my face but today it tastes sweet, just like my mama.

“Polimer ah?” he questions back. “Yes mama, the channel where they telecast Hindi serials in Tamil...” Mama frowns, seeming totally oblivion to the existence of the channel.

“How would I know those channels? I don't watch serials,” he shrugs, focusing his eyes on the news channel that was currently being displayed on the television.

“Then what do you watch in your free time?” I raise my eyebrows at him.

“Songs, movies, and sometimes news...” oh...why doesn't he watch serials? It's very dramatic and entertaining. My father used to despise it but after watching a few episodes with my mother, he is now more interested in serials than my mother...

“Seri mama...then please switch to any movie or song channels. I don't want to watch the news,” he doesn't object to my request. Instead, he quietly puts 'Jaya TV' where the 'Velayudham' movie was being televised.

“This is okay mama! Please don't change,” Mama obliges.

It's Vijay's movie with two heroines. The movie is pretty good and entertaining. Thus I focus my eyes on the television and simultaneously consume my food.

While doing so, I note my mama's eyes on me. He keeps glancing my way every so often. Hm, why is he looking at me!? What's running in his mind!?

He must be planning something...

Be alert, Ganga...

Actually, I don't have any issues with him touching me but it's exciting to tease and see him chasing me recklessly.

Also, during my marriage period, one of my relatives provided me with some advice on intimate life. She said that I shouldn't give myself completely in the beginning and asked me to lead him on and keep him on the edge. She stated that I should move the veil very slowly as it would cause my mama desperation and eagerness to explore me...

I felt very shy after hearing that.

But implementing the same, I found it very intriguing. I love how he revolves around me all the time...

“Ganga, we're going to college tomorrow,” surprised, I move my eyes in his direction.

“Why mama!?” I wonder out loud.

“I'm going to admit you to a college here. You can resume your studies from where you'd left it in your previous college. Some prerequisites and small entrance exams have to be cleared for you to be enrolled,” What!? Entrance exam? My eyes pop out in shock.

I'm going to study here? In this new place!?

“Why didn't you tell me this soon?” I worry, my brows furrowing. “You didn't enquire about your studies at all. And well, I wanted to give you a surprise,” he casually says.

“This is not a surprise! It's a shock,” why is he smiling!? Does this seem funny to him?

“Why do you look like that? Don't you want to continue your studies?” he queries eagerly. “I do mama, but this is a new place...new college. I feel so intimidated mama. If you'd informed me earlier, I would have prepared myself. But now it's hard to process it,” I pause eating and lower my head, feeling scared.

“There's no need to be frightened, Ganga. Students from various states come here to study. Many people from our state also are pursuing their studies here. So you don't have to be concerned about the language barrier. However, it's important to learn the regional language of the place we're living in and respect the same. Thus try to study and speak Kannada little by little, okay? Mama will help you as well,” his gentle tone makes my heart feel at peace.
