Opposite Attracts Eachother ~

Chapter 39

Her Eyes Widened. Her Nose Scurunched at The Reek Of Alcohol. She was Looking at him with hint of worry. After few minutes "Epdi Nightuh Fullah Ingey Nikkalam nu plan ah" Ashwin Asked With Drunk Voice Hiccuping. Thara Made A Way For him so hesitantly

She followed him to the couch. Where he sat dropped. She got near him. With hesitating hand she took her hand and started combing his hair. As he was sweating so badly she wiped his sweats with her duppata without saying anything.

She was worried, worried as hell yet still he didn't care to Leave A Single Msg Saying "I Will Be Late". She looked At Him For An Explanation Not Earning A One. She initiated a Conversation "yenga poitu vara? enna pudhu palakam idhu? Inform aachu pannirkalam la"

To which he looked at her said "Pudhu palakam laam illaiye dhidheernu thonuchu kuduchen and inform panlam nu paathen aanah phone la charge illa". Her Eyes Bored into his owns. She could sense a hesitation from him. She had a sure feeling that something was not good

"Unmaiya sollu ma enna aachu" she asked with a humble voice. "Onnu aagala ma poi thoongu po" he said and smiled at her. She knew he is faking it , his smile didn't reach his eyes. And being Adamant she shooked her head as no and said "Nee Modho sollu"

"Work pressure ma" he said while looking at the ground. She jerked his face to look at her "enna paathu sollu paapo". His Eyes Looked At Everything Other Than Her eyes. "Ashwin ma edhaachu kashtam nah enta sollu da. Namma sendhu solve panlaam. Ennala adhuku solution kuduka mudila naalum paravala un kooda vaachum irupen la" she pleaded while holding his hand

"Unnaku unmaiyavey en kooda irukuradhu happy ah iruka ma?" He asked still not looking at her. She frowned " Yen lusu maari pesura ennaku ennah? Naan sandhoshama thaan iruke un kooda idhula enna kelvi vera?" She exclaimed.

To which he smiled while shooking his head "poi solra" he said. "Ashwin unmaile I'm happy. Ennaku nee irundhaley podhum da en ipdi laam pesra ?" She said clearly offended by him. She took a deep breath and explained to him that she was really happy.

She didn't want to shout at him. She could literally read through him . And she knows for sure he didn't drink just because it urged him to drink. It has to be to numb the pain?. But pain ah ? Was I not taking good care of him. Was he regretting his decision?
These thoughts encircled Thara's Mind.

She Was blabbering sweet nothings to him. But a sound made her stop speaking. She frowned when the sound was coming from his bag. She opened it to see Ashwin's phone ringing with A charge Sufficient enough to call or write a msg. So Was He Ignoring Me? Why? Did he got bored of me? No ! he loves me right?.

"Phone la charge illanu sonna?" She asked him. He didn't looked At Her. He Just continued staring at the tiles. "Ashwin enna paaru! Enna prechana unnaku? Konjam kooda akkarai illaiya oruthi nammakaga wait pantu irupaale nu. Apdi unnaku kuduchutu ivlo late ah varanuma enna pathi oru second yosuchu irundha kooda ennaku oru call pannirupa". Thara lost all her cool. Shouting at him

She was hurt. Thinking that he  purposefully ignored her calls and texts. She looked at him expecting an explanation. "Appo enna ignore Pannanum nu ninachiya?" She asked. Her voice was shaking. "Aama" he answered. She was beyond hurt now. She thought only his silence was hurting her. But the word hurted her more. "En?" She said while a single sob left her mouth.

"Thara I know nee en kooda sandhoshama illa nu . I feel like I snatched away your happiness,your family. Ennaku enna paakavey pudikala ma ovoru naal nightuhm nee alugura satham kekum bodhu la avlo kashtama iruku. Unna aluga veikaama paathupen nu solliruken aanah andha promise ah ennala kaapatha mudila laa. Ennaku unna paartha kashatama iruku ma. You deserve everything in the world. Anaah Adhellam unnaku kidaika vidaama panniruvenonu ennaku bayama iruku. I can't risk it. Onnu Pannu ma en kooda Irundhu kashta padradhuku. Ennah vitru nee apoovaachu happy ah-" his words got cutted off by a slap.

He hissed at a stinging pain at his cheek "you know what ? I'm more than happy when I'm with you unmaile I swear unna maari yaaralaiyu enna sandhosha padutha mudiyaadhu ma . Night la aludhadhulaam atha amma vah ninachu thaan aludhen unta sollirukanum thaan aanah I don't want to burden you. Erkanavey unnaku niraiya pressure iruku idhula enna ninachu nee kavala pada koodadhunu thaan sollala. But still unta sirikiradhulaam vera vali Illama laam illa I'm really happy when I'm around you trust me!"

She said and leaned closer to place a kiss on his forehead. He sat there without emotion. She shooked her head. "Ashwin don't ipdi Pannadha it's like you're questioning my love". He hugged her. While she cried her whole heart out.

Next Day Morning

Ashwin woke up with a heavy head ache. He looked around him hazily. He had a clear view of what happened yesterday. And he felt like taking a weight away from his shoulder. He got Inside the restroom to fresh up

He came outside with hands on his pocket. He looked around for a glimpse of her. He heard sound from the kitchen. He walked towards the kitchen just to stop when he sees her looking like godess in a plain saree drapped around her elegantly. Towel tied to her hair, single strand of her hair waving in air, her bangles singing and her earring dancing to rhythm.

It looked like he got a glimpse of future. He ran to their shared bedroom and searched for the kutty kungumam box which Abhi's amma gave. He took it with him and got to kitchen again. He cleared his throat to gain her attention. She stopped her movement just to glare at him and started working again.

She could see him pout like a kid from her peripheral view. She smiled internally "sorry ma" he said while grabbing his ears. She didn't bothered to look at him . But he was continuously saying sorry to her at a point she looked at him with knife in her hands and said "Inimey apdi pannanah sorugiruven paathuko"

" How can someone look so adorable even while threatening " he thought before taking a step near her. He opened the box. She frowned at him. He took it in his finger and applied it in her forehead. She smiled at him when he blew the excess. "Alaga irukena sir Ippo?" She said with teasing voice "neenga eppomey alagu thaan madam" he said playing along

"Madam boyfriend iruka madam ungaluku?"

"Boyfriend ah apdi laam yaarum illainga I'm single ready to mingle"

"Appo Ashwin nu yaaro oru paiyan unga lover nu sollitu irundhaanga kelvi paten"

"Avan kedakuraan vidunga unga num kudunga"

"Ashwin ku theriyaama vechukonga madam"

They laughed at their stupid conversation.

After few banters and cute romances. They finally finished cooking. Later they ate while feeding each other as it was weekend. They were having their own little happy time

Ashwin planned to make it up with her. For ruining her movie night so He initiated to plan it again. But she said no to it. They were scrolling through insta in his phone. His phone rang caller id showing a Girl name

Her head snapped at him. "Ma colleague ma!" He exclaimed "sollavey illa?" She looked at him with a eyebrow raised.

"Nethu thaan ma number vaanguna!"

"Oh appo ava naala thaaney ignore panna enna?"

"Sathiyama illa ma"

"Theiryu theriyu test panni paathen. Ennaku theriyum unnaku Onnah vechutey ota theriyadhu idhula rendu veraiya"

His phone rang again. He attended it and talked while his phone was on speaker mode. And her tone of voice was so flirtatious. And thara didn't liked the thought of her flirting with her boyfriend

"Ashwin enna panra vidu ennaiya"

She stated and started giggling. Ashwin looked at her with confusion written all over his face.

"Ashwin apro call pannuvaan ungaluku"

With that thara ended the call.

"Habbada Ippo thaan nimmadhiya iruku" with that she started walking away waving her hips a way to extra

He laughed at the stunt she pulled and followed her.
