The stage curtains slide away slowly, revealing Ruthira and Srinish who were both in their positions. Seeing Arun whistle, Rudra copied him and did the longest and loudest whistle he ever had.
Ruthira's lips twitched up into a slight smile when she saw how excited he was. Nidra got up from her chair and jumped in eagerness when the music started.
O newly blooming flower bud, O newly blooming flower bud, Stand here for an instant before me Opening your lips which drips honey disclose a word in your language Under the full moon night, As water drips down from your form Were you the one in the river
Mangai maanvizhi ambugal en maarthulaitha thenna Paandi naadanai kanda en mannam passalai konda thenna Nillaavilae paartha vannum kanaavilae thondrum innum Illaithen thudithen porruka villai Idaiyinil megallai irrukavillai
What was that arrows from your deer-eyes pierce my heart After seeing the Paandi king why did my heart begin to pale What I saw under the moonlight still haunts me in my dreams I became lean because My love was not with me
O my groom, O my groom, Look for a moment at me, The one who came riding a white house listen to my arrow-like eyes words Under the full moon night as water drips down from your form Were you the one in the river
Rudra's eyes occasionally trailed wherever Srinish's hands went. As the performance ended, his hand rested on Ruthira's waist. Fisting his hand, Rudra diverted his attention to his wife who was looking so beautiful.
He didn't understand what the song meant. However even without knowing it, he couldn't help but fall in love with it. He didn't know if it was the song, or her dance, or her smile, but he felt at home. He felt complete once again.
As the auditorium roared with claps and cheers, he looked around with a proud smile that all of it were for his wife. Ruthira looked at him for a moment as she raised an eyebrow subtly, asking how her dance was.
"Perfect", Rudra mumbled as he did a 'super' sign. She gave him and Nidra a flying kiss before going back to the backstage. Nidra grabbed the air in her fist and rubbed it on her chest. "Bubba get Amma's kiss", she giggled.
