“Ella reports um paathutten. Innike admit pannirunga. Indha week eh operation pannidalam. Idhuku mela delay panna vendam. Because avanga heart already stressed a than iruku. So better ini kuzhandha continued monitoring la irukradhu than. Okay va?” The doctor said, looking at the family in front of him. Kaveri, Ganga and Saradha nodded their heads, their faces reflecting the tension they felt. 

“Doctor, Ava kunamaiduvalla?” Saradha couldn't help but ask, her motherly affection pouring out.

“Don't worry ma. Na apove sonna mathiri evlo seekram operate panromo avlo nalladhu. Indha few weeks correct a neenga medications follow pannirkeenga. But idhu heart sammathapatta vishayam. Of course risks irkum. But paapa age and proper treatment ellame namakku saathagama irku. So kandipa neenga bayapadama irunga. She’ll be alright.”

“Thank you doctor. Aana last oru one week Ava romba tired a irka. Already complete rest la than naanga paathukrom. But saapda kooda avakita thembilla. Moochu vidrathu kooda romba kashtama irkunnu sonna.” Ganga worriedly explained. 

“Ithellame expected than ma. Avanga heart is under a lot of strain. So kandipa indha mathiri than irkum. Idha expect pannidha naanga medicines um kuduthirkom. But obviously athu solution kedayathu. Operate pannita avanga better a feel pannuvanga. Don't worry. First innike admit pannidunga. Because breathing ku avanga strain agaradha nanum kavanichen. Adhu konjam risky than. So it's high time that we move forward with this. Epdiyum within three to four days we'll schedule her surgery. Neenga fees arrange pannitingalla?”

“Aahn…aama doctor. Athellam all ok.” Kaveri answered.

“Then let's not delay anymore. Front desk la matha details kelunga. Nurse ungla next procedure ku guide pannuvanga. Na nightla rounds vandu I'll also check up on her. Ok?”

Kaveri, Ganga and Saradha went to look for Kumaran and Narmadha who were in the waiting room.

Kumaran immediately pounced on them, “Ennamma achu? Doctor kitta theliva ketuteengalla? Namma narmadha sari aiduvalla?”

“Aama mama. Athellam onnum problem illa. Indha week surgery pannidalam nu sollitaru. So seekrame iva kunamaiduva. Enna vaalu ok thane?” Kaveri asked pinching narmadha's cheeks.

“Apo ipo veetuku polama?” Narmadha asked natively.

“Illadi. Innike admit panna sollirkanga. Ini operation varaikum ingatha irkanum”, Saradha replied gently caressing narmadha's hair.

“Enna solreenga athai? Innikeva?” Kumaran asked concerned.

“Aamanga. Ipove admit pannidalam. Athoda fees enna edunu visarichu kattidanum. 3 4 naalla operation pannanum nu confirm pannitaru doctor.” Ganga explained to him.

“Apo seri Ganga. Na bank poitu panam eduthuttu varava?” Kumaran asked.

“Irunga mama. First front desk la poi ketupom. Apram bank polam. Naanum varen.” Kaveri volunteered.

“Illadi. Avare poitu varattum. Nee ingaye Amma kooda iru. Paati thaniya samachuka matanga. Na oru ettu veetuku poi avangaluku help pannitu apdye namakellam sapadu eduthuttu vandarren.” Ganga directed her.

“En ka? Naanum pona mamaku helpful a irkumla?” Kaveri insisted.

“Illa kaveri. Amma Inga thaniya ellam paathuka kashtama irkum. Narmadha va admit panni stay panradhu ellam enna edunu pathu nee koodave iru. Seriya?”

Ganga and kumaran left as kaveri took Saradha and Narmadha to the inpatient ward.

When Ganga reached home, she found a surprise for her there. 

“Paati…narmadha va admit panna sollitanga…” Ganga informed as she entered the house only to find Vijay’s thatha and paati seated inside, looking uncomfortable. She stopped confused for a second, and then quickly recovered.
