I have no heart to keep you waiting , so wrote and posted 🙂🤧.

Ashwin's pov :

We stood rooted , helpless .

Vishwa was lying amidst several medical equipments . He was lying , soulless .

Vishwa's mom : He's completely paralysed . Only he can do is to blink and breathe . He hurt his jaws and hence couldn't open his mouth , himself . More to say .. in a coma state.

I saw Krita being vulnerable . Even I was in the same condition .

" I'm so sorry aunty .. engaluku idhu theriyadhu"

Vishwa's mom : That's okay .. Aniku Alankrita ve hospital le admit panitu thirupi veetuku varumbodhu , he met with an accident . He's bed ridden since then .

I don't know why .. aniku accident aagradhuku munnadi he called me . Manasu konjam free ah iruku amma nu sonan . Past three years le avan apdi sonadhe ila .

I looked at Krita , who was silent all this while . I could feel her pain . My heart was aching more to see her in pain . She doesn't deserve this pain afterall .

My wife , moved towards him and sat on the chair near by . Vishwa's mom left the room .

Krita didn't even shed a single drop of tear all this time .

Alankrita :  Vishwa .. why do you do this all the time ?  En epome enna guilty uh feel panna vekra ? Enaku nalladhu mattum nadakanum nu nenaikre unaku en ipdi aagudhu ?

I went near her and held her shoulders , assuring that I'm with her , no matter what .

Alankrita : Unna avoid pannama friend uh iruka sollitu ipo ne matum en ipdi panre? You always wanted me to be happy, right? Look at me , I'm not happy right now . En friend ipdi soulless uh irukumbo how can I be happy?

Please Vishwa ... Come back pleaseee .. You deserve to live better .. Unaku idhellam nadakka koodathu . Please endhirichu vaa ..

Na enna ketaalum pannuva nu ne solirka .. ipo kekren .. enaku ne pazhe maari thirupi varanum .

She was getting weaker each second . I held her tightly by my side and let her to cry her heart out . I was crying all this time , without my knowledge .

I placed my hand on Vishwa's face .

" Vishwa .. you must come back . Inga unakaaga ithana peru irukom .. enga elarayum ipdi azha vechutu ne paduthutu iruka . You always wanted everyone of us to be happy , aana nanga elarum nalla irukumbo unaku ipdi ... ".

I began choking and couldn't speak more .

We spoke for sometime and Vishwa's mom entered the room .

She tried to be happy by faking a smile .

Vishwa's mom : Neenga ipdi en paiyyan munnadi azhudha , avanuku evlo kashtama irukum ? Ipo neenga pesradhuku elam serthu vechu avan ungaluku lecture edupaan thirupi varumbo .

We gave a feeble smile to her . No wonder , how Vishwa got this ability to take everything positive and smile all the time .

We spent sometime and headed back to our car .

I saw Krita , her eyes were puffy and red . She was completely drained out .

I took a deep breath and drove back to our home .

We entered our home and she went straight to get refresh . I gave her some time .

It was about 30 minutes and she didn't come out .

I began to panick . I rushed to the restroom and knocked the door .

There was this sound of shower being heard .

" Krita ... Ma please open the door !!! "

I heard no response . I banged the door and found it open .

I entered and saw her sitting on the floor under the shower and chocking continuously .

It broke my heart into million pieces to see my baby in that state .

I ran towards her and cocooned her in my arms . She began crying even more .

Alankrita : El .. ellam... Enn .. enaala dhan ..

She spoke inbetween her hiccups .

Alankrita :  Enala idha thaangika mudila Ashwin .. Avan amma ku enna reply kudupen ? Enna kaapatha poi avanuku ipdi aachu nu therinjum .. enala epdi iruka mudiyum ..

I hugged her even more tighter .

" Maa .. onnum ile . Vishwa ku onnum aagadhu . Avan thirupi varuvaan pazhe maari . Please azhaadhe .. enaala adha paaka mudila ma .. pleaseeee "

She cried louder and fainted all of a sudden .

I carried her in my arms and placed her on the bed . I took the towel and dried her hair . She was completely dehydrated.  I changed her dress and made her to sleep and went to the kitchen to make something .

I made dinner and came back to our room . I woke her up . She was so weak , that she couldn't sit properly . I made her to sit and lie on my chest . I fed her the dinner forcefully , as she refused to eat .

I made her to drink water . I went back and cleared all the dishes and came back only to see her staring aimlessly .

I went near her and held her closer to my heart . I could feel my shirt getting wet . I caressed her hair and face at times . I patted her to sleep .

I lied down with her above me and tried to sleep after the emotionally tiring day .

~

I woke up in the morning and found her missing . I jerked up and searched for her.

I panicked , for not finding her in our room and the main hall . Suddenly I heard some sound from the kitchen . I rushed there , only to find her standing supporting herself by holding the kitchen counter .

I ran to her and held her as she was feeling giddy .

" Maa .. are you alright ? Ne edhuku inga vandhe? Enna da .. enachu ? "

Alankrita : Onnum ile .. I came here to drink water .. Suddenly I felt giddy .. apo support ku pudika poi elam keezha vizhundhuduchu ..

" You are weak .. adhan ipdi .. onume sapdradhum ila .. ne va modhala "

I carried her to the main room and made her sit on the couch and prepared breakfast and I fed her .

We visited the doctor as she was completely distressed and got her tablets.

I decided to stay back with her .

After a month ...

I stayed with her all the time . We visited Vishwa's house often . He seemed to recover a bit . But my wife was still the same .

She seemed gloomy all the time . I could feel the amount of agony her heart carried .

Sometimes , she would cry like there's no tomorrow , sometimes she would be idle without doing anything . I missed her , I missed my old Krita , who would be chirpy and energetic .

I took her out , as much as possible . We went for night drive , ate from her favourite restaurant , went to beach and did all possible things to make her happy . She seemed happy, but not wholeheartedly .

One such day , I decided to lighten up her mood as it was a rainy day .

" Krita .. come with me !!! "

Alankrita : Enga porom ?

" Weather konjam nalla iruku .. terrace ku polaam vaa"

She accepted without any further pestering and I took her to the terrace .

It was drizzling by the time we reached the terrace .

Her eyes twinkled the moment she witnessed the beautiful scenario from the terrace .

She kept admiring the scene while I kept admiring her . How I missed you , Krita !

" Alexa play Sirikadhe "

She looked at me confused .

I gave a mischievous smile and neared her .

Alankrita : Ashwin .... No!

" You have to dance with me now ! "

She gave a feeble smile . I slowly moved towards her and grabbed her in my hands .

Un peyaril en perai serthu

Viralodu uyir koodu korthu

Oor munnae ondraga naamum

Nadandhaal enna

The song started and I picked her up in my hands and twirled and made her stand on my feet .

Nanaika theriyadha

Adai mazhaiyae

Nanaiya theriyadha

Malar kudaiyae

Maraiya theriyadha

Pagal nilavae

Ennai theriyadha

Pennazhagae

We began dancing like mad people soon , completely drenched in rain . Her wet hair often sticks to her face , being a hurdle for me without letting me see her beautiful face . She held my hand and twirled herself , while I kept admiring her .

Manam vittu unmaiyai mattum

Unnodu pesida vendum

Nee ketkkum kaadhalai alli

Un mel naan poosida vendum

She cupped her hands , filled it with rain water and poured it on my face , making me jerk . I cutely glared at her and pulled her towards me by her waist .

Naan kaanum otraai kanavai

Un kaadhil ularida vendum

Enai meeri unnidam mayangum

Ennai naan thaduthida vendum

She sang these lines looking deep into my eyes .

Koodadhae koodadhae

Innaal mudiya kodaadhae

Pogathae pogathae

Enai nee thaandi pogathae

I sang along with her , getting drowned into her magnetic eyes .

Nerungathae nerungathae

En penmai thaangadhae

Thirakaadhae thirakaadhae

Ul manadhai thirakaadhae

She sang these , more of a whisper . Our bodies were stuck together , without any gap left . I held her even more tight . She , now seriously aroused me .

I leaned in and locked my lips with her.  We kissed for quite a long time , completely drenched . We broke the kiss panting heavily .

Alankrita : Acchooo ... 🤧

She began sneezing continuously ..

" Oops ... I think rain dance is a bad idea".

Alankrita : Idhu ... Achooooo .. ellathukum neenga dhan .. achoooo .. kaaranam ashwineyy ..

" Maaa ... Achooooo .. naana ?? "

Alankrita : Hahahah .. achooo .. ungalukumaa ??

" Time ... Achoooo .. for some rest !!! "

We ran back to our home and did steaming for a very long time and slept , holding some memories of the day.

~

She was on her medical leave for a while . I requested her to join back to the office as I thought she needed a break from this monotonous life .

" Krita ... "

Alankrita : Sollunga ..

" Why don't you join back to your job ? Unakum bore adikum le veetlaye irundha ? "

Alankrita : Naanum adhan ma yosichitu irundhen .. Okay indha weekend ku aprm join pannidren .

Soon , it was time for her to join her office .

I was scared a bit of sending her to office alone , as her physical health was not on track . She felt giddiness sometimes .

But I decided to send her , as she would come back to normal life when she meets her friends .

I dropped her at her office and drove back to mine .

I constantly checked on her well being in office .

It was that time , I got a call from an unknown number .

" Hello ? "

Unknown : Is this Ashwin ?

" Yes .. Who's this ?

Unknown : I'm Priya , Alankrita's coworker . She fainted this afternoon . Our boss has given her a half day . Better you take her home . She's too weak now , sleeping in the sick bay .

I cut the call and rushed to her office . I saw a fragile Alankrita , lying on the bed . I had no heart to wake her up .

I carried her in my arms and made my way towards my car and reached the hospital .

She woke up by the time and was clueless.

" Onnum ila ma . Ne faint aagite nu enaku call vandhuchu . Adhan Namma hospital vandhurkom . "

We met the doctor and did her consultation .

Doctor : She's so weak and exhausted Mr . Ashwin . Take good care of her . Modhala nalla saapda sollunga ! Avangala nalla relaxed uh vechukonga . Stress ilama.

" Sure doctor . Thankyou so much ."

I got the tablets from the pharmacy and went back to the car .

She was silent all the way . I parked my car , got down and opened the door for her .

She had a little smile on seeing her favourite place , the beach !

Alankrita : Ipo edhuku ashwineyy inga vandhurkom ?

" Chumma dhan ma . Doctor sonnadhu kekalaya ? Unna relaxed uh vechukka sonanga . Come konjam neram inga irundhutu polam ".

She got down and walked on the beach sand for sometime , our hands interwined .

We decided to sit on the shore of the beach .

I was about to speak to her , when I got a call .

" Krita .. wait a minute . I'll attend this call and come back ! "

She nodded her head and drifted her view towards the waves .

After about 10 minutes , I went back to her , not empty handed !

I gave her a square shaped big box and asked her to open it .

She scrunched her eyebrows and opened the box .

She looked back at me with pool of tears flowed through her eyes .

She couldn't speak a word , but only cry !

It was a large white cake , with the most beautiful message on its top .

" Idhu usually ellarkum avanga avanga wife solli dhan theriyum .. but nammaku role reverse .. "

I chuckled inbetween my tears .

" Mrs . Alankrita Ashwin .. we're pregnant " .

She smiled widely , still having those dam of tears in her eyes and hugged me tightly .

I controlled my overwhelming emotions and broke the hug and kissed her forehead lovingly .

I touched her tummy .

" Hello baby . It's your Appa here . You know what .. ivlo naal ah enaala un amma ku kuduka mudiyatha happiness uh nee kuduthurka .. Please engala romba wait panna vekkama seekram vandhudu . "

I kissed her tummy and hugged her again tightly .

Alankrita : Enakaaga neenga evlo panninga .. idhu ellame ungaluku epdi thirupi kudupen nu yosichitu irundhen ... Ipo na ungaluku kudukren indha gift .. Namma baby .

I love you , my husband.

We hugged again , still not over the emotional storm we gone through all this while .

I made her to cut the cake and we fed eachother .

Alankrita : How did you know this ???

" Nee ulla irundhapo , Doctor told me . Na dhan unkita solla vendam .. surprise uh irukattum nu solli kootitu vandhen" .

She kissed me and laid her head on my shoulders .

I carried her in my arms and drove back to our home . The home , which is soon going to filled with happiness only . Our home where we're going to stay as FAMILY !
