Agathiyan's POV
"Care to Explain Mr.AGATHIYAN AADHIRAN"
She questioned me in a tone of warning and frustration, indicating that I cannot afford to make a mistake or be dishonest now.
I took deep breath
"Okay, I will answer all your questions, Thulir. First Please calm down and come sit on the swing."
I took her hand and led her to the swing under the large neem tree, praising the area's tranquility and seclusion. Initially hesitant, she eventually convinced, grasping my hands as we walked to the swing where she seated herself. I then stood before her, prepared for interrogation.
She inhaled deeply, her gaze fixed on me and patted the space next to her asking me to sit with her for the conversation, and her composure was not the reaction I had anticipated. How could she remain so serene? I had braced myself for her anger, for an outburst that would precede any chance of explanation, let alone a discussion. Yet, her immediate willingness to converse struck me profoundly.
Does my Thulir changed this much and I didn't noticed this all these years....
The answer is yes and that's right Infront of my eyes....I couldn't digest the lump of guilt that embracing me now....
Thulir covered her face with her palm and took a deep breath before looking back at me....
"Why are you staring at me like that Agathiya?"
"Like what?"
I asked taking a step closer to her , her gaze fixed on me lazily...She chuckled and said
"Like you are seeing a complete stranger...hmm"
"Because it does feels like that...."
"So, you want me to interrogate you now right....."
I just nodded my head she signed
"okay, Let's do this "
Thulir spoke and then sat up straight, leaning back on the swing seat with her hands folded in front of her and her eyes narrowed at me.
"Why are we here and my daughters are in Revathi Illam"
"I thought we need to speak up....we need some break from all the responsibility that we are lifting on our shoulder for sometime and just open up to each other and find a middle point "
"Why not Revathi Illam ?"
"Because there, you're not just my Thulir... you are the eldest daughter-in-law, mother, perima, atthai, anni, akka, niece, and daughter-in-law, among others... I doubt we can have alone time as just Thulir and me... The same applies to me...
I am the eldest son of the family, a responsible brother, son, father, peripa, mama, son-in-law, and more...
I want us to spend time together... just Agathiyan and Thulir, without any baggage to worry about... just us. Is that wrong? "
I asked, She shook her head
"what if I want alone time for myself Agathiya.....what if I don't want to talk about anything now....and just want to use this isolated place just to be myself all alone?"
She asked me raising her brows
"That is also possible. Given that this farmhouse is quite spacious with seven rooms, you can take one, and I'll take another. This way, we both can enjoy some alone time."
I told her that even though I'm not fond of the idea, if it's what she wants, then I agree with her decision...
"What about the second honeymoon thing....where does that came from?"
