chapter 51

Thulir's POVHe was busy cooking, so I went to the room to take a bath. At this moment, I can't seem to find any of the items I packed. Instead, my lingerie trolley with a few of his shirts, T-shirts, undergarments, track pants, and shorts. It's the only trolley in the room. And now, he claims that the second honeymoon was merely an excuse to persuade our family. Agathiyan is quite clever, always having the perfect rebuttal for every question. He seems to have come well-prepared.Initially, I thought of wearing one lingerie but something stopped me so I took one of his tshirt and track pants.....After taking a bath, I changed and went to the hall, drying my hair. He had already set the table and was waiting for me, scrolling through his mobile....I took the chair beside him, and he began serving me Paruppu Sadam, Potato Fry, and Appalam—wow.... He then stood up and started drying my hair....hmmm I like this pampering thoughI dug in... and yes, it's even yummier than I expected... Agathiyan has always been skilled at cooking, especially since he was the first in our family to go to another state for college. He and his friends rented a room, and he was the one who did most of the cooking, so he learned to cook before any of us.... "Hmm If all the husbands decide to correct the change in their behavior with their wife after long years of marriage.....I think the asteroid missed this year might have succeeded in the task that had in destroying the earth.....what you say Agathiya"I said licking my fingers and moaning at the taste of it.....he stopped and narrowed his eyes at me..."Truth sometimes become unacceptable Agathiya.....because more than 90% of men became ignorant and indifferent towards their wife after certain years of married life...and never tries to mend it because that doesn't matter to themIt is said that one study indicates the happiest individuals are single women and married men.Moreover, if a husband dies before his wife, the wife's lifespan tends to increase, whereas if a wife dies before her husband, the husband's lifespan tends to decrease.If you look it closely you realize how true it is"I said serving him who sat next to me...he signed "If you want to taunt me you can do that directly Thulir what is the need of such studies results?"He expressed his displeasure, clearly unhappy with what I had said.....I smiled and served him the potato fry and he himself took two appalams "I'm not mocking you, Agathiya. I'm expressing how fortunate I feel to have someone like you who makes an effort to correct things when they go wrong—a rarity indeed. I am truly proud of you, and in fact, the credit goes to my mamiyar""Perima and Athai""No Agathiya.....My mother in law.....the sweetest Mrs. Innisai Aadhiran"I said looking at him with a beaming smile, to which he simply hummed in response. I wonder what happened to him, could something be bothering him?"Agathiyaa..."I called him....he took a deep breath..."Finish the food first Thulir then we will go outside to roam around this place hmm"He spoke and then focused on his meal... Oh, now he's trying to change the subject... I wonder how long it will take for sir to open up... I have no idea... Could it be related to mama athai? It might be... But I don't want to assume anything until he speaks... With that thought, I turned my attention back to my plate...Then there was complete silence none of us spoke....The breakfast went like that....there goes the plan of happy 1 week break from everything....cleaning the plate I moved to the room to find my phone because I thought my husband said it would be just us....his junior called regarding a case so he was speaking to him to find a solution to sort it out........Nothing that I didn't expect when I have such workaholic husband who works in the leave too.....signed and finally found my phone and guess what it is switched off....Thanks to my dear husband who did this.....Shaking my head I switched on the phone and found 3 missed calls from Anu, 2 missed calls from Atthai and Umaiyazh.........All was from early morning.....I was  about to call them the voice note notification keep on popping from WhatsApp......all of them is just now loading.....I opened them it was from Umaiyazh.......I clicked play button "Akka it's not like Thulir was the only daughter in law of this family........and we are  elder to her and why we should postpone everything for her arrival and we did agreed with you when you said Thulir and Agathiyan would come this week and we will finalize the marriage date....but they didn't came here instead went for honeymoon.......I don't want to interfere in their personal life but when it affects my son's life I have too......I understand Agathiyan and Thulir being the eldest son and daughter in law have to present on the main events happening in Revathi Illam......They have to keep their responsibility they have.....Agathiyan is almost been absent in most of the functions only Thulir would be there and she also stopped making main decisions after Thugil and Amudhan's marriage....I know she did went through a lot with her post pregnancy but we all stood with her right we took care of her.....we all did but she just throwed everything and went behind Agathiyan when he got the transfer...She didn't showed much interest in her own sister's marriage....infact she didn't even opened her mouth to speak when that commotion happened like we are talking about strangers.......Thulir is this Revathi Illam's eldest Daughter in law the one who have to take up your position is running away from it after her pregnancy......just her presence is not required akka you know that clearly....."I took deep breath and played the next note....."Geetha isn't wrong now akka.....I don't care what you think now....I have to say this....when Thulir asked me to accept Thugil as my daughter in law....without second thought I agreed because I trusted her and know very well she would have taken that decision after thinking alot and after asking both Amudhan and Thugil's consent......I agreed to her not just because she is the eldest daughter in law of this family...she indeed take up the responsibility in hand and had the potential to run the family...You are ready to pass your responsibilities to her and we all are happy about that.....but after her delivery she stopped involving much in family issues "You're aware of her physical condition, Cynthia. You've seen with your own eyes how frail she has become; she has literally returned from death's doorstep. What do you expect her to do? To involve herself in resolving issues, become even more stressed, and exacerbate her situation beyond what it already is?""That's my Isai Atthai who came in my support.....I played the next note"We know akka and we understand her too....but now she is alright....even now she can't say the same excuse akka...leave that now.....let's come to the problem.....now the sambanthi wants Shiva to marry their first daughter for Agni and Tanurika's marriage to happen.......what are we going to do now huh.....you want me to force my son to marry someone who he never knows....and you know clearly he would agree in a snap for Agni....But I don't want to put him in such situation ever akka....We need to make the decision and you said we need to wait till Agathiyan and Thulir comes.....and now they didn't came but sambanthi called and said he received another proposal for their daughters as they are already reluctant considering the status mismatch....What are we going to do now...you say to me....""Geetha calm down I will talk with Tanurika's family and will solve this matter......and no one will force Shiva to marry that girl okay...."That's Tisya atthai..."I WILL MARRY MEENAKSHI"what the hell why Shiva is saying like that......and the voice notes ended there itself.....fuck what the hell happened there...is that why Thugil took Malar and Alar to temple in the morning to keep them away from the commotion........Thank god she did the right thing....Fuck the responsibility......I fell  on the bed holding my head..........When you are there nothing would happen...when you finally decided to take a break the Storm arrives  Â
