Maraveno Unnai

They were each other's first home.
Two children grow up together in a little village.
Their families know each other.
Their houses are next to each other.
They run around the same streets, swim in the same river, get scolded by the same aunties, steal mangoes together, and sits on that same thinnai.
And somewhere along the way, without either of them realizing it, their lives become intertwined.

Until one day, he leaves for the city when they're still young.

"Promise me you'll be back soon" She had asked him.
"I promise." He had promised.

And then life happened.
Years later, he returns.
And she's still there.
Except...

she doesn't remember him the way he remembers her.
