Sollaal Aditha Sundari

Kuzhappangal

Parvathy was relieved ..she liked Dhanam..she was a boon to this family..

Appo seri Dhanam..ippo thaan nimmathiya irukku

The ladies went on to discuss a few other wedding related stuff and in a while Parvathy took leave ..

After they left Lakshmi amma rebuked Dhanam for her act

Sorry athai..unga kitta kettu senju irukkanum..annikku neenga thoongi kittu iruntheenga..anga ponumnu kelambala..antha vazhiya ponen..athaan oru velai mudinjudumnu..inime ippudi nadakkathu..

Cha cha..unna korai sollala ma..ella velaiyum nee thaan paarkkara ..aanaa Murugan lesaana athirchi kooda thaangara nelamaila ille ..athaan sonnen

Puriyuthu athai..innime paarthu nadanthukkaren Dhanam smiled

But that night she lay awake

Sorry Chithi..unga kitta poi sollitten..intha kalyanam nadakkarthu avvalavu seri ille..athaan ..thambi ya love pannittu annanoda wife ah Mullai intha veettukku vantha ..kadavule chinna pasanga intha vishayathula avangalukku entha mana ulaichalum illaama nee thaan paarthukkanum ..

She remembered that day they had come back from chaaru's wedding..

Kathir had been uncharacteristically silent the next few days

Dhanam had finally confronted him

Ethavaathu ponnu vishayama Kathiru she had asked him

The shock on his face and the unshed tears were her answer

Avvalavu paasamaa iruppa..enakkunnu oru peru athu solli thaan kooppiduva ..enna ethunne sollaama kazhatti vittutta ..eppudi mudiyuthu he had lamented

Chinna vayasu appudi thaan irukkum..free ah vidu..ponnu pudikkalennu velagi ponaa thontharavu panna koodathu..vidu..unakkunnu porantha ponnunna ethanai varusham aanaalum un kittaye thirumbi varuvaa ..kavalai padaatha

Kathir had given a wretched smile at that and had walked off..

Dhanam had never broached that subject again

In fact she was shocked to realise that the little boys she had known were grown men now

This was also the reason why she had encouraged her athai to check with Jeeva before committing

But luckily Jeeva had agreed to this readily enough

And she had been happy..one more son's life starting with her Athai's blessing..a good chance that she would realise her grandmother dreams ...something that she herself had not been able to grant for her athai..she had not received that blessing ..

Of its own a lone tear trickled down her cheeks..

She felt a rough calloused finger brushing the tears away

Nadakkum Dhanam namakkum antha baakiyam kedaikkum Moorthy smiled at her

Naan athe nenaichu thaan azharennu eppudi theriyum

Unakku vera enna dee venum..nee vera ethukku aasai pattu irukka ..athu onnu thaane he said

Dhanam snuggled closer to him on the cot

Maamaa Jeeva kalyanam aachu na room ready pannanum maamaa

Amaam Dhanam naane sollanum yosichen

Antha pakkam room la irukkara porul ellam namma kadai godown ku poganum maamaa ..illenna pinnadi gaaliya irukkara edathula oru nalla periya room katti athulla porul podalaam..

Ahn seri Dhanam..senjudalaam ..naalaikku engineer ku phone pottu sollidaren

Ahn seri maamaa

And Moorthy went back to sleep
