Author's POV... Jayadev reached his home at late night using the spare key he opened the main door.. It was too dark as everyone slept.... He climbed the stairs to reach their room... He was hesitant as well as desperate to see Uyir... He left for maya and came back for Uyir.... Because he needs her the most now..... We will get to know why later , the time didn't came for that.... He was about to knock but the door was already open.... It's because Uyir already know he would come so she didn't locked it..... He peaked and saw Uyir was sleeping soundly on the bed... He signed and entered the room without making much noise.. He moved closer to the bed near her head.... She was sleeping hugging the comforter... Her hair was braided she doesn't like to sleep with free hair and battle with the tousled hair so before sleeping she applies oil and comb it and braid them... There was certain calmness in her face which he likes always..... He smiled and sat on the floor and looked at her.. His right hand elbow was on bed and it support his head... He opened his left hand which had the ring. He looked that ring and then his wife......... Jayadev: I don't know why I badly wish you to be Maya....... But you are not....... You are My Wife Uyir........... My love?????... I don't have answer for that question mark...... He muttered very slowly.... Uyir stirred in her sleep... He dismayed he doesn't want to disturbed her sleep.. She again slept changing her leg position slightly that came out of the comforter but she seems like okay with it...the smile in her lips after that showed it...... That made him smile Uyir do have a crazy sleeping position sometimes.... He too dozed off in that position itself he didn't get sleep in most years of his life, but when Uyir is near him he sleeps peacefully... May be his wife have some magic with her.... Uyir woke up first in her as usual time she have to make everything go on track today without any mistake... She Pandiculate first and her eyes feel on the figure sleeping in sitting position... Her mind didn't thought of how uncomfortable he would feel instead it actually suggested her to kick him out and by the force he would directly hit the table behind and wake up with a painful scream.. Because she was that much irritated due to that man and not to forget she got scolded by her mother yesterday that increased her anger more... She took several deep breath to control herself and not to do what her sinster mind is suggesting.... She furrowed seeing that ring in his hand as his palm was open she could see that ring.. She slightly moved and took that ring and examined it... Her eyes widened when realization hits her..,.. Along with Uyir let's go back to short FB.... 5 year old Uyir was sitting in steps front of the main door with a sad face..... Whole house was turning upside down... Everyone is searching something seriously except Gowri... She was doing her as usual routine ignoring her daughter because she was tired of convincing Uyir so she left the idea and removing the unnecessary plants in her garden..... Aadhi who came back from his morning walk saw this and moved towards sad Uyir....... Aadhi: why my thangoo is sad.. Hmmm what happened da chello... Uyir started crying... Aadhi panicked seeing that... He lifted uyir and wiped her tears ... She sobbed hugging her grandfather.... Aadhi: Thangooo.... What happened da...please say to your Aadhi.. I will solve it.... She looked up... He again wiped her tears... Uyir: Aadhiiiii... Aadhithya: What Thangooo.... Uyir: ... Ring.... Aadhithya: which ring da... Uyir: ... Mayaathu... Athu kanom... ( Maya's..... That was missing) She was still sobbing, Aadhi understood the situation... Gowri: Uyir... Leave that papa....I did warned you many times don't wear that one as it was too big for your tiny hands...but you didn't listen to it and wore it adding thread... Now it was missing.... We searched the ring everywhere... And your father is still searching... Just they heard a loud noise... That's shiva who is turning the bed upside down to search it..... Gowri: See.... We will buy new one papa..... Don't cry now... HmmUyir: Athan venum.. ( I want that only).. Gowri: We will buy the exact same papa... Uyir: Noooo... Before Gowri speak Aadhi spoke.. Aadhi: Leave that ma... I will take care of Uyir... Where is Aghat... Aashitha: Don't ask that mama... He left to search that ring 300 km away exactly where we spotted that injured boy.. He thinks that might have fell there only... Aadhi signed... Aadhi : First call him and ask him to come back..... I will pacify Uyir...He said and moved inside carrying Uyir but Gowri's question made him tensed.. Gowri: Mama how can you be this much calm.. It's Attha's ring but it's seems like you aren't worried about it..... Why??? Aadhi:... That.... That... Nothing ma....its too old I was already thinking about Changing that one.... That's why....... He moved from there before Gowri start her enquiry... Gowri furrowed... But she left that as it is.... Because she have other stuff to worry about.... The mess her husband made for her Daughter.... Aadhi took Uyir to his room and made her sit on the bed and he opened the locker and took one box , he came near Uyir and gave it to her... She opened it eagerly.... It was Revathi's jewelry box...Uyir looked at Aadhi..he smiled at her... Aadhi: All this belong to maya.. Now yours.... Take anything you like thangoo.... Uyir: Nejamaa... ( truly) He nodded his head in agreement.... She searched and took one pair of silver anklets... She liked that one most in that box which had gold and diamond jewelry...she closed that box and moved that near Aadhi.. Aadhi: Is that enough thangoo... Uyir:Pothum.... Ithe neeye vachuko Aadhi.... Naa periya pona anathum vangikurein ipo tholachitaa..... (Enough...you keep everything with you I will get it back when I grow up what if I lose this now..) Aadhi: Ohhh.... But this anklet is also big for your small feet thangoo... Uyir looked at her small feet and again the anklet in her hands...... She pouted and gave that anklets back to Aadhi... Aadhi chuckled.. Aadhi: Why you don't want this too... Uyir: perusa iruku Aadhi... Ithum ne ye vachuko...( It's big Aadhi... You keep this one too) Aadhi: Then what you want. .. Uyir: Maya's Ring... Aadhi: That was lost right thangoo... Uyir: Why it was gone from me.... She asked sadly fiddling with Aadhi's hands....Aadhi kissed her forehead and said... Aadhi: If that belongs to you it will come back to you thangoo... Uyir: Varalana... ( what if it didn't ) Aadhi: That doesn't belong to you..... Uyir clearly remember that ring and this one in her hand was the same....she checked once again it have the name Maya engraved in it in Tamil... She joined the dots.... Vikram was actually right Uyir did forgot that incident but today seeing that ring back she remember saving one boy 23 years back..... She couldn't remember his face clearly but now she understand it's Jayadev... So he was thinking Uyir as maya and was loving her from then.....That did increased her anger more this idiot ignored her for her....She fisted her hands tiger and about to hit him but controlled gritting her teeth.... She have much important work today... She will take care of this Idiot later... " Calm down Uyir....... He won't go anywhere... You can deal it later.... Calm down there is lot more drama waiting for you today..... You can see this one from tomorrow.... Not today"She said to herself... As Gowri said Uyir have to rebuild this relationship from the scratch.....After Today's function she will take care of her stupid husband..... She took deep breath calming herself and glared at her husband one last time before getting down from bed.......
