Ammu is Back ! [COMPLETED]

Shock for Devu

Devasena goes to the dining hall for breakfast. Ammu tags along. He sits opposite her at the table with his face covered as she said not to see her until he remembered the previous night. Seeing him eating with a veil on his head she giggles to herself. After her meal she moseys to the garden to pluck flowers and he joins her there but maintaining a distance. Wherever she goes he follows her like a puppy following its master.

A: Devuu.... I don't remember a thing ma pls you only tell what happened... you take a cane and beat me but pls don't go without talking it hurts me...

Devasena ignores him. Depressed, he goes to Kattappa who narrates all that happened.

A: Oi musaloda!! So much I spoke couldn't you have shut my mouth ??

Ka: I tried telling you ra but you wouldn't listen you still kept on calling Saroja... I don't know what took place inside your chamber. That you will have to find out from your wife.

A: Oh no... I'd rather fall off a cliff than to confront her regarding this!

Ka: Too bad ! You messed up big time now you only have to set it right.

Feeling disgusted on his act he decides to avoid Devasena. At night he returns to their chamber and sees his wife removing her jewels. She too notices him gaping at her from the mirror in front of her.

A mv: Devasena is right to be angry with me. How bad she would have felt. I feel ashamed to face her.

He removes his crown and jewels changes into his simple night clothes and sits on the bed. Devasena comes up to him passing him a glass of milk. He takes it without looking her in the eye.

D: (Taking the veil off his head) What is this for ??

A: Mmm... you told you didn't want to see me so...

Suppressing a giggle she talks to him in a firm tone.

D: You seem to be brooding over something. What happened ?

A: Mmm... that... mama told me.Your anger in justified. I promise I will never touch booze in my life ever again.

Devasena smiles softly as her purpose had been achieved. Her Ammu gave her his word that he would never indulge in booze. Feeling relieved, she sits beside him their arms rub against each other but he moves aside.

A: I am sorry for my behaviour last night. You... you...may talk to me when you have forgiven me until then I won't...

She snuggles up to him, coils her arms around his and leans her head on his shoulder.

D: My intention was not to hurt you Ammu but make you realise the consequences of such habits. How it pained you when I ignored you likewise if you indulge in these things there will be a day you too will ignore me. Can I let that happen ?? Drinking is bad Ammu.

A: I understand Devuu. If a mother is strict that is because she wants her child to go on the right path not because she hates him. You are my second mother Devu.

They exchange smiles and he grasps her hand.

D: Hmm...yesterday I was 'Saroja' your sister today your mother, tomorrow what will you address me sir ?

A: Huh.. sister ?? You mean to say I didn't misbehave with you ??

D: Nope. Though you were drunk to the point you were senseless, you never forgot your Devasena. You stood away from 'Saroja'. My husband is indeed lord Rama. I am blessed.
