Ashwin's pov :
When she stepped on the first step..
Her thread end of the saree got caught on the screw in the stair case's handle. She didn't notice it.. if she moved further it would have teared her saree.. I went and tried to remove the thread from the screw, she turned to see what stopped her moving and saw me .. Her eyes did the talk having a look of what happened.
"Onula ithu ithula matikichu athaan... "
I said by showing her what I was trying to do and freed her saree from the screw. She went to the room and I came seated on the sofa. There were exchanged glances from mom to dad and from him to her. I didn't know what was running in their minds. I turned on the tv, woah!!! what a timing , the song that played brought back the thoughts I wanted to avoid the most
" Nilavidam vaadagai vaangi
Vizhi veetinil kudi vaikalaama
Naam vaazhum veetukul
Veraarum vanthalae thaguma"
I sighed , can't I even be in peace for sometime. The same mind which raised questions gave the answer to it too..
I had a past .. yes that's true.. but I can't hold on to it now as I have a present now..
"Vaa da ma... pah evlo azhaga iruka en kanne patrum pola " I heard my mom say.
I turned back to see that she had changed into a dark green saree with silver border, matching it with silver jumkhas and green & silver mixed bangles, her face was glowing with the bindi and the vermillion on her forehead. I don't know if I could say this at the situation I am in now.. I could shut my mouth but not resist my heart which was saying to me
' she is beautiful '.
My mom moved her hands in a circular motion around the head and throwed to preempt the effect of evil eye. I wondered how in one day without knowing about each other how they both care and love at each other.
She disappeared into the kitchen with mom and I turned towards tv and kept changing the channel. After sometime mom called everyone for breakfast and we sat on the table. Despite Buvana ma's insistence to sit and eat, she served everyone. Vijay pulled her and made to sit her next to me. I don't know if she blushed or it looked like to me. She suddenly gave me my mobile and said
"Neenga kondu vara soningale naa maranthuten inthaanga , aprm yaaruko call pannanum remind pannu ma soninga "
I went blank ð¶. I didn't even understand a single thing she was saying.
"Enna da apdi paakura. Ethavathu maranthutiya " said Dad.
" Appa da.. "
sighed Mom
" Naa kooda neenga kaalaila irunthu pesi paakalaya , etho nadanthiruku pola nu ninachi bayanthuten.. nee ipo pesnathuku aprm thaan ma nimmathiya iruku "
said Mom caressing her head.
OMG ! I didn't even give a thought that they would think like this. I now understood why she was saying that. She gave me a side look. After having breakfast we were again seated on the sofa.. women's team were in kitchen while we men's team were passing time by watching tv. The day passed doing nothing and as well the night too passed like yesterday but little peace prevailed in the room. We didn't even have a word after the breakfast , I don't what and how to talk to her.
The next three days passed little fast, we were staying in her home for two days, She took care of everything.. she didn't even let the slightest chance of doubts enter into others mind and there were dark footprints of guilt pressing hard into my soul.
Mom told to us that for one week there will be marriage feast for us in our relatives house. We all went to four houses in four days and when we returned home we were too tired even to watch tv. Still we didn't even try to talk to each other , just exchanging 'hmm' 'seri' 'haan' words before others with a smiley face. I don't know how she was doing that ,I felt like I was enclosed in a box unable to breathe, I even thought of telling the truth in my home but I stopped myself as I didn't know what she was thinking and going through. If I take a decision by myself then I will be more than a selfish person.
It was already Jan 18.
Its been exactly 10 days we have been married and there she was already adjusting each and every single thing for me.. okay my family.. but here is the great me , all I did was stay still .
We were invited from her side relatives. So Mom and Dad said that only we should go but she asked Vijay to join us too. I felt relieved thinking that it would be totally awkward if it were only us. Me and Vijay, we both were waiting for her near the car , she stepped out of the home and turned to hug my mother and side hugged my father, her smile did something inside my heart. When she was nearing the car , I clearly saw her, she was wearing a light pink saree with white stone earings and white bangles in both the hands with free hair,
" She is beautiful " whispered my heart to me and again those light pink lips which slightly smiled...
"Anna deii pothum da.. kanavu ulagathula irunthu irangi vaa " Vijay said
that's when I realised that I was smiling looking at her. I brushed away my thoughts and started the car.
She came and sat beside the driver's seat.
We reached her aunty's house in 45minutes around. When we stepped down my parents-in-law were already there smiling brightly and widely. I kind of like my father-in -law , he was a friendly person. She went and hugged him tightly. Her father planted her a forehead kiss. Her mother and aunty came to us and welcomed us inside.
We went and sat on the sofa. We were chit chatting for awhile. Her Uncle came and sat before me on the sofa. I smiled at him and he did the same.
He started speaking to us. Suddenly he said
"Ennatha irunthalum en Annan paiyan maari paiyan kidaika ivaluku kuduthu vekkala"
I glanced at her and parents, they were uncomfortable by this sudden words. So I started to play my role as a perfect son-in-law.
I said.......
