The sun starts to dawn , birds are flying to their nest to rest , the sky become the mix of orange and red shades ,there in a new built house a man in his mid 50s is narrating a story to his 3 yrs and 5 months old granddaughter. The cute little girl is keenly listening to her grandfather by mimicking his actions now and then.
Both their actions came to halt and turns their head towards the door from where the sound came. There a man in his mid 30s entered the house with a tired face.
Seeing him the girl got off from sofa and jumped into his arms screaming "Ju paa". Hearing her his face become bright and his tired muscles turned brisk ones. That's the effect both her and her mother had on him. No matter how tiring or depressive he is , when he heard "Juneyy" or "Ju paa" from their chirpy voices everything felt light and turned simple to him.
Laughing to her scream he lifted her and twirled her making her giggle more. Placing kisses on her face he settled himself in the sofa with her near his father. His father patted him on shoulder lovingly. He said "paa" smiling to his father.
Then turned to his cute little one and asked " Darling appa va miss panningala ? " narrowing his eyes. To which she nodded her head fastly making him chuckle. "Evlo miss paninga" he asked again. She widen her hands sideways to show him how much . He hugged her ,touched her nose with his and placed a kiss on her head showing how much he missed her too.
His eyes roamed around the hall for his love but nowhere to be find. "Kannama enga unga amma ivlo satham ketum veliya varala" asked his daughter to which she showed his parents room. " Enaku dress medicineslam pack panitu iruka da " his father answered him. " Yen pa enga poringa? " he questioned. "Athu Chandana call panuna , mapla 2 days out of station so helpku vanga pa nu koopta" "amma akka veetuku poirukala athan na poi rendu naal irunthutu varalamnu kilamburen" he answered. " Pchh ... Avala inga vara solalamla 2 days thana? Arjun asked. " Ava office poganumam da leave ilayam athunalathan " his father said. " Sari pa .. na kutitu pogava ungala " "ilada Sivaangi call paniruka Selvam ku ipo vanthuruvan" " ok pa " he said.
"Sari darling thatha kooda irunga na poi ammaku help panren" he gave her to his father. His father looked him from top to toe in a teasing way and said " nee.. help pana pora ..aan " "paa" he whined making his father laugh more. "Sari sari po poi un chellama va paru, na intha kuttyma va pathukuren" saying so he winked at his son. Arjun scratched his forehead smiling sleepishly and ran away. " Namma storya continue panalama thangame" he asked his granddaughter who nodded quickly and started listening to her grandfather keenly.
Arjun entered the room silently where his wife is folding the clothes and stuffing it into the bag . He hugged her from behind but his wife continued her work without any reaction. Least he expect is a small jerk but no. Confusedly he stepped back and looked at her . His wife turned to him and broke into laughter seeing his confused face and told" You forget something Juney". Raising his eyebrow he asked "Enathu" "I can sense cats easily as they are my pet for longtime " she answered. He scratched his forehead in confusion and then it striked him. Immediately he dragged her by her waist and asked " Oi enna cat nu solriyaa di?" "Yes my very own cat as I can not only sense you but also smell you " she said pulling him by his collar to her height and kissed his cheeks tightly.
Arj : Pardaa.....Smell me? Na use panra cologne niraya per use panuvangale.
He asked with a smirk.
Siv : It's not about your perfume , it's about you man. Athu oru mathiri manly aana smell kooda ne podra cologne sernthu lively aa irukum...Only I can find that because it belongs to me only me. It become my addiction pa.
She said rubbing his nose with hers.
Arjun smiled and hugged her more tightly.
They parted away hearing horn sound that indicated them the arrival of Selvam anna.
Arj : Packing mudinjitha ma
Siv : Mudinjithu pa nenga hall ku kondu ponga na medicines matum eduthutu varen.
Arj : sari ma
Both reached hall and handed over the things to selvam anna.
Siv : Epdi iruka nna? Veetula ellarum epdi irukanga?
Sel : Nalla iruken ma . Ellarum nalla irukanga . Nethan veetukae varamatikura ..amma appa rendu perum solitae irunthanga .
She looked at Arjun and smiled but that didn't reach her eyes . He was quick enough to notice it but kept quiet.
Siv : Varen nna . Athan daily call panrenae.
Sel : Irunthalum nerla pakura mari varuma da
Siv : Varen nna . Seekram. Nenga mama va bathrama kutitu ponga..veetula vitutu enaku call panunga.

Ab : Ama thatha ..enaku yaaru story solluva.
Arj.D : Thatha pudusa story padichitu vanthu unaku soluren ok va.
Ab : Okayyy.
Abi kissed her grandpa and he reciprocate it.
Bidding bye to everyone he left for his daughter's house.
Here the three members went into the house. Arjun locked the main door, turned and lifted his chellama who is holding their princess in her hands. Abi excitedly clapped her hands making her parents smile widely.
Arj : Abi hold your amma tightly.
Abi obeyed her father's words by holding her mother's neck tightly.
He carried them to kitchen and placed them on its counter safely.
Arj : Dinner ena panalam Sivu.
Siv : Cook akka sambar and chutney ready panitanga pa ... Iru na dosa othuren.
She tried to got down. But Arjun was fast enough to hold her back.
Arj : Irudi iniku na panren . You just sit and watch your husband babyma .
Ab : Aii appa enaku cone dosa she asked excitedly.
Arj : panren kannama
He said by pinching her cheeks before kissing his fingers.
Then moved to fridge take out the dosa batter and began mixing it with salt. He carefully poured the batter on hot pan and circled it to form a perfect round shape.
Adding oil over it he asked " Epudi " by raising his eyebrow at Abi. While she raised her hands to do super sign and told "Appa the great-u Appa the mass-u Appa the best-u".
Her parents laughed loudly that's when something striked his mind, he looked at his wife asking " Eii ithu athula" . To which she laughed more harder by holding her stomach. "Hey Paathu di " he hold her,made her sit properly and moved towards the stove to flip the dosa. He take it out ,make it into a cone shape ,placed it in a plate with 2 bowls of sambar and chutney, then gave it to his wife. Then he moved to make the next one.
Sivaangi tore a piece of dosa dipped it slightly to sambar and feed it to her daughter, she tore another piece dipped it into chutney and sambar then brought it near her mouth but stopped.
Siv : Juneyy
Arj : sollu dii he asked without lifting his head.
Siv : Inga va pa ...aaa solu
Arjun smiled came near her and open his mouth . She feed him and took next piece to her. This process went on simultaneously and finished their dinner by sharing their moments in workplace and house . Abi too joined their conversation by telling the stories she heard from her grandpa making her parents Aww.
Siv : Hey Abi kutty romba brilliant ila pa.
Arj : Pinna en ponnula ena mari thana irupa.
Siv : Hello ena ava ena mari...hmmm
Saying she got down from slab , helped Abi to got down and moved to wash her hands.
Arj : Unna mari face ma ..aana brain appa mari...athan brilliant aa iruka..
Siv : Apo na brilliant ilanu indirect a solurya
she asked placing her hands on hip while Abi followed her mother's action.
Arj : Ithuku mela epdi direct aa solurathu
saying so he started to run.
Siv : Deii unaa nilraa....she started chasing him while Abi too tried to catch her father.Both blocked him and started to hit his chest.
Arj: Aah valikuthu dii. Erkanave adi patruk.. he stopped in midway , closed his eyes as he involuntarily spitted the truth.
Siv : Eii ena solura enga adipatruku
She unbuttoned his shirt immediately .
There a white plaster on his shoulder. Seeing this both their eyes got welled.
Ab : Ju pa valikutha
Siv : valikutha Juneyy
They asked in unison caressing it softly.
Arj : Ada enaku onnumila ma chinna adi than
He pulled both of them on either and made them to rest on him. Both of them were more sensitive when it comes to him.
Siv : Paathu panalamla
Arj : Gavanama than di irunthen .Chellama you know la if it meant to happen it will.. apdithan ithuvum . Don't worry ma enaku onuila
Siv : Please be more careful pa
Arj : sari da ma...ok ipo getup..vaanga namma roomku polam.
They all stood up. He again lifted both of them in his arms.
Siv : Adipatruku pa unaku
Arj : shhhh....Teriyum di
saying so he continue his walk towards their room.
While she thought about how her life had changed beautifully after her Arjun. His voice made her his fan girl , His care made her his friend , His love made her his wife and now a mother. Arjun is the one who showered her with his unconditional love.
Sometimes she think how can a man treat a girl from the day he asked her hand for marriage till now with same love . Her Arjun made it possible with his love .Arjun's entry was unexpected in her life but now he is her life without him there is nothing . She was ,is and will be happy happier and happiest as Arjun's Chellama.
"Madam sight adichu mudichacha room vanthuruchu" Arjun's voice startled her from deep thoughts. She winked at him making him smile and wink too. He placed them on sofa to arrange the bed for them. Then all the three moved to bed.
Switching off all lights except bed lamp post ,Arjun layed on bed , made Abi to lay on his stomach and patted her head slowly to get her sleep . After confirming that his princess had slept,he pulled his Chellama towards him who layed near him and made her head lay on his chest and caressed her hair. She snuggled more into him by hugging him and her daughter together.
Siv : Arjun naliku amma veetuku poitu varalama
Arj : Polam ma ..Naliku poitu rendu naal stay panitu varlam ... Neeyum poi romba naal aaguthula.
Siv : You are the best pa
Arj : Hahaha I know... winked at her
Arj : Aana enaku oru doubt ma
Siv : Ena pa epovum nathana kepan.. sari kelu
Arj : Na ilama ne yen unga veetuku poga matura....apdiye ponalum stay panrathu ila yen apdi
Siv : Athu ne ilama anga pona I will miss you
Arj : Ingayum na ilaye di..naathan shootuku porenae apo poirukalamla?

Arj : Un bagla ep..... Heyy iru neethan eduthu vachirukya apo
Siv : Hehe ama pa...eduthu vaikathana unaku kudukave senjen.
She giggled to it.
Arj : Adipaavi sariyana kd di ne .he kissed on her head.
Arj : Why do you love me this much ma ?
Siv : Because you are the one who showed me what love is and taught how to love. She place a kiss on his chest. And made me believe that love doesn't exist in movies alone nu.
Arj : Love you dii
Siv : Nyanum love you romba..
Arj : Eii oru language la pesu dii said pulling her more close and placed a kiss on her head patted her to sleep .
Loving her is not a option to him , it happened . He knows that he will love her till his last breath. But the love she gave and giving to him is immense , it's more than he expected(the truth is he never expected anything from her ). That doesn't mean they are lovey-dovey couple,they too had their fights, arguments, disagreements ,they pull each other legs ,they have their own flaws but at the end of the day she is his Chellama Arjun's Chellama.
