Mmm avanuku aviyal pudikum nee super ah seiviye lunch ku adhuvum seivom.... She said.

Ok paniralam.... I said. An unknown feeling popped in my chest.

I usually cook well so I won't put much concentration on it... But today while preparing aviyal I was very much conscious and I was praying that it should taste so good.

Yen ipdi feel panren nu terila but pazhasu Inder umm I mean Indrajith ah pathadhum nyabagam varudu.... His peaceful face while he sleeps and the way he shared  about his pain to me...

Magizh.... Carrot poriyal pannuvoma venama.... She asked.

Mmm already neraya variety iruku podhum ma illati waste aagirum.... I said.

Adhuvum sarithaan.... She agreed.

Analum summa solla koodathu ma unga paiyan vandadhum evlo gavanipu..evlo paraparappu..... I teased her.

Pinna evlo kastham pattu oor ku vara vachen.... She said winking her eyes.

Ama naane kekanum nu irunden epdi ma oorke vara matar nu soninga epdi vandaru aprom Inaiku hospital la avar nadandhukittadu puriyave illa... Konjam sollungazhe..... I asked.

Idhuku uncle support vera... Avaruku inaiku night sapadu no, only oats.... I said.

Mmm ipdi thaan solluva aprom Uncle paavom la konjama sapdathum nu neethan solluva po di vaalu.... She said.

Aiyoo epdi pathu vachen nu teriliye.... I thought.

Huh purila ma... I said.

Kannula avlo bayam. En paiyana patha epdi teridu pei mathiriya.... She asked.

I breathe in relief after hearing her words.

Pei ah. Pei la illa ma avar kannula oru fire teriyum parunga apdiye namazhe yerichiruvar teriyuma..... I said.

Manushanuku enna nenapu nu terila periya lord labaku das nu nenapu.... I said and looked at Vaanathi ma.

Adiye podhum di adhu en paiyan.... She said laughing.

Maa, aprom enna ma enna patha eppovum moonja vaadipona kathrika mathiri vacha kasthama irukula.... I said.

Mmm... Sarithaan... She said.

We completed our cooking.

Magizh sapdum bodu eduvum pesada. Avan eppo epdi react pannuvan nu terila so nee amaidhiya sapdu ma ok va.... She said patting on my cheeks.

Sari ma puridu.... I said and went to my room to refresh. I washed my face, hands and legs.

I wiped my face and came out of the bathroom and combed my hair and went to the kitchen.

I transferred the food to the hot box and kept it on the dining table...

I raised my head when I heard foot steps. I saw Vaanathi ma, krishna Uncle and her son descending down the stairs.
