"Naan intha veetu velakaari ma," she mouthed with a droplet gently escaping her left eye, finding its way down her bony cheek. Anjali was stupefied. Why would a servant girl be so emotional over her identity? Would they not be more than excited to meet a newcomer? A whole lot more to gossip about, no?she thought to herself but said nothing. She nodded stiffly and Meena got back to discovering more goods from the refrigerator. Meena then left her, asking for permission to wash the veggies. Anjali's mind wandered off, refreshing yesterday's episode. She smile creeped at the corner of her lips as she remembered the last kiss she shared with her husband this morning. "Hello, madam what's for breakieee?" called Anirudh from behind her, making her jump.
He wrapped his hand around hers, pulling her out of the kitchen. "Anjali, come I need you to hear the new tune I just figured!"he breathed into her ear. Anjali smiled, mouthing an "of course,love," into his ear. Before they could make their way up the winding stairs, a middle aged woman caught Anirudh by the cheeks. "Adeiii, congrats da! Didn't bother to say a hello to athe! Where you rushing off to?" She turned to Anjali. "Ohhh ivaa thaan veetukaariyo? Azhaga irukka!" Anirudh beamed at the older woman, who turned out to be his father's cousin, or better known as Valli Athe, giving her a quick hug and greeted her, then continued his way up the stairs with Anjali. Valli Athe gasped in shock as the duo left her to do their own thing. "Vanthu oru naal kooda agala, athukulla mayakittaley!" thought Valli Athe, rushing off to the kitchen to pour out her rant about what she thought of the newlyweds. Meanwhile, Anirudh and Anjali had already made it into Anirudh's music room. He seated her at his keyboard, lifting her hands to feel the keys. Then, very smoothly he ran his own hands along her sides, resting them on her thighs. "Hello, can you play the tune? Neku niraya vela irukku. I need to go, Ani," Anjali said, knowing what Anirudh was up to. "Mmm, first give me a kiss" Anirudh replied, much to Anjali's expectations. She pulled him closer by the collar of his M&S black shirt, eyeing his lips. They shared a few moments, French kissing before Anirudh dropped his hand on the keyboard. The loud sound broke them apart. "Okay now play yaar! I need to get going! Athe theduvalono," said Anjali, crossing her arms.
Anirudh gave her a thumbs up, sliding next to her on the seat. His fingers found their way on the keys, gliding up and down rhythmically with his eyes drawn shut. When he concluded the song, Anjali found herself clapping in awe. She pulled Anirudh into a hug, patting him wildly on the back. "That was AMAZING! I've watched you LIVE for the first time! I'm blessed,"she cried, clinging onto him tightly.
"Thank you. So am I, Anji. I'm blessed to have you. I love you di pondatti,"he whispered in her ears, biting them playfully. "Cheri, cheri pothum. I need to go,"she pushed him away, blushing. As she turned to leave, something tugged at her saree(Ani of course, was pulling it to make her stay). He pulled it forward to leave it to cascade down the floor, revealing her navel.
