"anaiku enga amma anna vandangala avanga aththa ku udambu sari illanu ponangala avanga eradutangalam Adan amma appa rendu verum anga mama veetuku poirukanga" shruthi said.

"ohh... OK shiva enga" I asked.

"hmm Un vishathula la correct ah iru" she said.

"pich sollu" I asked.

"avan room la thoongitu irupan" shruthi said.

"oh apdiya naa poi kootitu varatuma" I asked her

"huh Adellam venam. Avane varuvan" shruthi. Said.

As she said shiva also came and joined us.

"idho vandutan en Anna" shruthi said.

"avazhuku nallave kannu teriyum" shiva said.

"hello" I wished him waving my hands like a kid.

Shiva laughed a little.

"ama aththa mama eppo varuvanga shiva" I asked.

"ellam rituals mudinja piragu. Most probably nalaiku night thaa varuvanganu nenaikuren" shiva said sitting infornt of the TV.

I sat beside him.

"ama appo sapadu" I asked him so that I can atleast help them with that.

"amma morning breakfast, lunch, aprom dinner Ellam inaiku senju vachutu thaa poirukanga nalaiku food nangazhe senjupom" shiva said diverting his attention on me.

My cheeks turned red by his gaze.

"po pa nee pathale vekkama varudu" I ran out of that place.

I spent my time with shruthi and varshu. I wanted to spend my time with Shiva still keeping his sisters beside us and behaving like lovesick puppies wouldn't be a good idea.

Konjamachum responsible girl ah behave pannum la...

Our day went just like that. In the afternoon shiva went to meet his friends while I stayed at his home spending my time with shruthi and varshu.

"mithu anni unaku unamiya Enga Anna pudichiruka" varshu asked.

"Yen apdi kekura" I asked confused.

"illa enga Anna velaiku Pogala. Responsibility eduvum ozhunga seiradu illa. Aprom Nee kooda London la born and brought Adannnn..." varshu asked in an awkward tone.

"actually ellarukum responsibility iruku. Ada realize panni work panra time it differs from person to person. Unga Anna unmaiya very responsible person enna avlo protective ah feel panna vaipan. Vela adan pathi naa eduvum solla koodathu. But he is a gem. And I'm the lucky girl. Avlothaan" I said with a smile.

"mithu anni inaiku enga kooda stay panriya. Un kooda pesuradu romba jolly ah iruku" shruthi said.

"please anni inimel koopdadinga. Anaiku edo flow LA anni nu koopda soliten but I feel old. Mithu ve Nalla iruku. Aprom stay panradu enaku aasa thaa but enga veetula vidanum la" I said sadly.

"nanga pesurom." varshu said.

I thought for a while and agreed.

I called paati and we all talked in turns to convince paati. Paati didn't like the idea of me staying here still she agreed for varshu and shruthi.

[Mithu ma unaku thevayana dress thatha kitta kuduthu viduran. Nalaiku avangala Namma veetuku kooptu vaa avangaluku inga thaa sapadu-paati said]

"anna ku maatum Nee inga stay panradu terinja epdi react pannuvan" shruthi asked.
