Author's POV
"Thulir"
Agathiyan called her name....she looked up from his chest.....He cupped her face in his palms...
"We will go through this together dii"
Thulir stared at him plainly and asked
"Ena samathanam pananume nu solriya ila...."
She halted mid-stride... his eyes narrowed upon her.
"Ila ena...mulusa kelu"
Thulir pulled herself away from his embrace and made some gap between them and looked at him...she took a deep breath and kept her hands on her stomach
"Intha Baby unakum unexpected ah tha irukum nu enaku theriyum........but unaku intha news santhosatha kuduthucha ila un ponunga mari shameful ah iruka"
Thulir asked without meeting his eyes....she saw his hands forming tight fist...she gulped and was about to stand up...he held her hand and made her sit and kneeled Infront of her....She looked down at him...
"Thulir first thing avanga namma ponunga....and about this new member in our family I am overwhelmed...As you said yes it was unexpected but athukaga I can never ignore or dislike our baby Thulir.........Inthu nama baby dii epadi enala shame nu solamudiyum.......Ithu nama Love dii.....

Thulir looked her hands in his hold and then him....
"Enthiri Agathiya"
he signed and stood up.......Thulir took a deep breath and started speaking without looking up at him...
"Unmaiya solanuma enaku ipo ena thonuthu nu therila......When Anu and meenu asked intha mari pregnancy news ah vetla avlo sekiram accept panika matanga society accept panikathunu feel pandreingalu ketapo naa udane sonein atha pathilam kavala ila nu......Because nama family ah pathi already enaku theiryum I did't considered them but I trusted my daughters would stand with me.....

Thulir spoke the final words, her eyes lifted to his in hope. Agathiyan nodded, and she embraced his waist. He leaned down and kissed her forehead......
"Pathiya Alar....ipo unaku purinjurukum nu nenaikurein....they already decided to leave us....the baby already stole our parents...."
Malar said to Alar.........they just heard the last line their mother spoke and misinterpreted everything again went back to their room abolishing the idea of speaking with their parents....
Agathiyan went into deep thoughts....He looked down at Thulir who is sleeping on his lap then the family picture frame............He finally made the decision what he going to do...and this time all mattered to him was his wife....he signed and kissed her forehead and placed his hands over hers on her stomach and smiled lightly.......
