Faint chirping of birds…golden rays of sunshine…. dewdrops over green grass….all signify a new inning.
Swara : Ved 1 , 2 , 3 .. she whispered near his ears who was in her very own nightdress with her two pony tails messed up.
Vedant : 4 , 5 ... before he could count the next number with his little fingers he heard both his parents screaming
" Aaahhh Aaah " as if they had encountered a devil
Varun and Sanjana immediately took there phones and turned on the selfie camera too see there little grown up blueberries acing on there art skills on there parent's face.
Sanjana : Ivunga rendu pera vachukutu mudiyala ! She sighed and turned to Varun's direction
Varun tried hard not to laugh but ended up laughing hard seeing the moustache drawn on Sanjana's face.
Irritated , Sanjana wanted to get down of the bed but then she couldn't. Varun had removed the blanket to see there legs tied together .
She again huffed and bend down to remove the knot .
Sanjana: Where have I got myself into , Kova matum pada terium . Ennaya patha eppudi iruku nu teriala ? She kept rambling while she tried to remove the knot but in vain.
Varun : Nee evalavu dhan remove panna try pannalum , your fate is destined with me. Nee enga ponalum kudave nan and namma blueberries trouble panna vandhute irupom . He told with a smirk
The duo's talks was interrupted when Swara and Ved walked into there room with an evil smile .
Sanjana : Swara morning eh un settai ah arambuchutiya ?
Swara : Ved dhan Sana un munji la varanja na dada munji la dhan varanjen .
Ved and Swara hopped on to the bed , Swara then continued " See Sana I drew the butterfly on his face , netu Swetha ma'am soli tandhanga " the little one tried showcasing her talent.
Varun chuckled at how Swara went on telling a story behind each thing she had drawn on his face . While Sanjana caressed Ved's hair.
Varun : Seri sollunga why did u do this ?
Ved : Dadda , neeyum amma vum en sanda potinga ??
Swara : Nanum ved sanda pota , you lock us in a room right?
Sanjana and Varun looked at eachother on seeing the role reverse beeing continued by there children
Ved : Seri ! Seekram sorry sollunga . He demanded
With an awkward smile Sanjana and Varun confessed " Sorry" at the same time
Swara : No No No No . She told with moving her index finger left to right
Sanjana : Enna d prachana unnaku ?
Swara : Nanga sanda poda modhu ! You ll ask me to give a kiss to Ved right ? Neenga pannala ?
Ved : Yes amma ! Pannunga seekram.
Now it was treat for Varun to see how her parenting ideas are being used by his two little Champ to convince the feud between them. He was having a dance in his mind mentally to see how Sanjana might refuse but to his surprise , he felt her lips on a cheek and he heard the little giggles from Swara and Ved . Before he could hold on to his lady love , she had escaped his clutches with running down to the kitchen for the day to start.
*********
Shifting to the night where Swara and Ved were done with the homework and Sanjana in the kitchen preparing the dinner.
Sanjana could here the noise created by the Father and Son in the playroom.
Once she was done with her cooking , she walked to the playroom to see Swara " Dadda you can do it ! Ved ah andha flag edhuka vidadhinga ! " She was indeed her dad's daughter.
She saw how Ved was focused on his game with his eyes fixed only on the game. She found Varun 2.0 in her 7 year old Son.
Towards the end Varun did not capture the flag making Ved win the match . Swara's face fell down but was happy seeing her twin's smile.
Ved : Dada ! Na jeichuten . Enna kudupinga?
Varun : Enna venalum taren Ved . He told as he lifted both of them in his arms.
Ved tapped his index finger on his chin and continued " Dadda take me to the room ! "
Varun carried the little two to his room while Sanjana walked along with them.
Ved : Anga irukura watch ennaku venum . He demanded
Sanjana Mv : Appa oda Xerox nu oru oru vaati yum prove panran en paiyan ! She chuckled
Varun : Thangam , adhu perusa irukume unnaku ippa . He told with a pinch on Ved 's nose
Ved : Na ungala mari big boy ana odana potukuren . Okay? He asked with his doe little eyes blinking
Varun : Deal . He told with bumping his hands across with Ved
Sanjana blinked her eyes twice. As much as she knew her husband , he would never trade his watch collection with anyone and now giving his favourite to her son was put of the blue .
Swara : Yarukum nan venam la ? She frowned with clipping her hair that is falling on her face.
Varun : No darling ! Unnaku Amma and Na netu dhana nee keta toy set vangitandhom?
Swara smiled mischievously and the little two got down from there fathers hold.
Sanjana : Pasanga vandha odana Na lam kannuku teriala la ? She told with her hands crossed across her chest .
Varun hugged her from behind and whispered " Unna kandukama na enga poga poren ? " the base voice still sends shivers down her spine , even though she has heard in for an infinite time.
Sanjana had a blush on her face that played . She pulled him to the dinning table only to witness Swara and Ved already sitting on the dinning table waiting for them .
It was Varun's duty to feed Swara and Ved in the night . Sanjana finished her dinner and walked to kitchen to wash the dishes.
After she had finished cleaning the kitchen. She hid behind the walls and peeped out . Varun knew his bunny carrot his having her gaze fixed on him .
Sanjana winked at Varun , while he asked her to be quiet . Sanjana eyed the time and asked him to make them eat fast with showing her hands in action .
It was now Varun's turn to blush seeing how effortlessly and hopelessly she drives him crazy in love.
Vedant : Dadda, neeyum amma vum kannu la pesunadhu podhum . He told as he took another bite of the idli he ate.
Varun choked on air while Sanjana again hid behind the walls.
Swara : Nangale saptupom , unga Sana is waiting . She giggled along with Ved
Varun : Rendu perum saptachu la ! Seekram poi thungunga . He told as he took the plates and walked to the kitchen while the little two brats continued" Satham podama thunganum okay va ?" making Varun and Swara eye balls pop out .
*********
Varun unlocked the door with calling
" Sana ! Sana ! Sana "
Ved : Amma is gone out dadda.
Varun looked clueless and then realised this is the reason why she had called him and he did not pick the call due to the meeting
Swara : Sana vandhu Akash chittappa and Nithya chitti kuda veliya poirukanga.
Varun : Ungala taniya va vitutu ponna ava ?
The twin sibling nodded there head horizontally while he heard a familiar voice " Mamz I m back "
Aadi came and hugged Varun while he had a smile played on his face.
Varun Mv : En uyira vanguradhukana plan la irukanha pola moonu perum.
Aadi : Enna mamz en akka ungala kalati vitutu shopping poitala?
Varun : Aadi annaiku club la unkuda oru ponna ah pathene ? Sollava mithra kita ?
Ved : Dadda na Mithra athai kita sollava ?
Aadi : Ada kadavule , dei ved unnaku puducha chocolate vangitaren summa iru .
Ved : I like that offer Mama . He told with a sheepish smile.
Varun : Andha bayam irukatum . He conveyed as he tapped Aadi's shoulder.
Varun went to his room to refresh when Aadi and Ved were having a chess match.
Aadi played his move , with his eyes fixed on the chess board " Ved ippa enna pannuva ?? "
"Chappa ! Easy ! " He played his move and with a pride smile uttered "Checkmate" leaving Aadi clueless on how he did .
Aadi : Eppudi da ?
Ved : I'm my dad's son mamz . He told with raising his imaginary collar.
Aadi : Apdiye unga appana uruchu vachuruka. He told with rolling his eyes .
Varun who saw all this from a far had a smile to see how much the kids observe him and Sanjana. Everything they do from the small little actions is all inspired from there parents bringing Varun a proud smile.
Aadi had his saviour always and like everytime , Swara came in the right moment and moved the chessboard making her get a glower from her twin brother while she got a kiss from her mama.
Varun : Seri namma kelambalama thata paati veetuku ? He asked with having all the bags Sanjana had packed.
Swara : Amma ??
Varun : Amma direct ah veetuku vandhuruva !
Ved : Yayaayya , I can see Vaani . He told with a shy smile.
Varun : Enna da oru mari sirikura . He asked bending down to his son's height.
Swara : Adhuva dadda ! Vaani gives him many kisses la adhu nala dhan . She told shrugging her shoulders.
Aadi : Adei pinju laye pazhuturuku . He sighed
Varun : Vikram mama kita irundhu Adi vanga ma irundha seri Ved.
Vaani is Vikram and Madhu's 6 year old daughter while Aditi and Kavin are settled in USA with a 3 year old son and Swathi has got another baby girl who is just 3 years old . Aadi finally married the love of his life Mithra and as always Amritha is still single and enjoying her singlehood.
**********
Sanjana went directly to her home. The house which was filled with tantrums of the cousins is now filled with the laughters of second generation . Inspite of having there own kids, the cousins still end up fighting like how they did years back.
Vishwa thata and Lakshmi paati were too old enough but there heart was filled with content .
Viji : Swara thangam inga va paati ooti viduren . She told to Swara who was sitting on Kumar's lap
Swara ran down from the lap of her grand dad to her mother ,pulling her end of the shawl asking her to feed her .
Varun ran behind Ved to make him eat , while Sanjana ran behind Swara to make her eat.
Viji : Sanjana chinna vaysula ippudi dhan sapudha matenu oduva , avala mariya irukanga ava pasanga .
Kala : Ama ka ! But nenache pakkala life ippudi lam kuda marun nu .
The duo then went to there rooms. The cousins after having there dinner retired back to there room while Vikram took Ved along with him and Swathi took Swara along with her to there respective room
Sanjana sat on the bed while Varun sat opposite to her with a bowl in his hand
Sanjana : Enna Varun pakuringa ,vachuvidunga .
Varun had the grinded mehendi paste inside the bowl , it was one of her bucket list where Sanjana wanted Varun to keep the mehendi in her hand.
He began placing the mehendi on her little hands .
Sanjana : Varun , this room has witness everything .
Varun : Puriyura mari sollu Sana . He told as he put the mehendi in the next finger.
Sanjana : This room knows our love story , the initial love - rejection and how hard it was for me to move on ,least expected was marrying you to you confessing about everything and finally this room did see us drenched in love .... ellame.
Varun looked at the photo frames where once he saw only Sanjana's photos to having his photos added on next to hers to now seeing there family photo with Swara and Ved , he felt complete.
Varun : I still remember nee bunny mari guduchutu vandha annaiku party la , little did I know I was tied with you for lifelong.
Sanjana knew her heart was always right. In the process of finding who Varun is, she found herself . She knew she is complete only when Varun is there . Varun and her little blueberries add meaning to who she is now.
Varun finished keeping the mehendi on her left hand , while he was about to get down from bed Sanjana pulled him with he index finger clutched to the Chain he had worn on his neck making him loose his balance and fall flat on her.
There eyes conversed all that they could .
The thought of mehendi on her hand was long forgotten .
"I realise something today Varun , if love happens again anytime in my life or in my next life , it would happen only with you " She confessed with sealing her lips on to his .
This time he let her take the lead and this shirt now added on to the n number of shirts that were stained because of her mehendi. It was just the symbol of there love.
Varun parted himself and continued
" From being my friend to carrying my children to being the mother of my children , I m sure I can't meet up to the love you shower Sana" He gently placed a kiss on her forehead.
Rightly to disturb there moment , they heard a knock on the door .
Sanjana adjusted her dress , while Varun tossed his t-shirt and changed into another shirt . She washed her hands immediately and went to the door only to see the apple of her eyes rubbing there eyes in sleep.
Sanjana : En da thangam thungalaya??
" Engaluku unga kuda thunganum " the both whined with rubbing there eyes.
Sanjana carried the little two in her hands and placed them on the bed.
Sanjana and Varun kissed each of there blueberries to the fullest and lied beside them.Swara cuddled with Sanjana in sleep while Ved laid on Varun and held him tightly.
The story of Sanjana and Varun was as ordinary as every other tale could be . But what made there story different was how interesting they lived to make sure it was the best story that they could narrate to the world . For Swara and Ved , they did not want to live a life like Romeo Juliet or eternal lovers of the era , they simply wanted to have love tale like Sanjana and Varun .
Sanjana and Varun's story was a cherry on the cake for there kids as well as the readers who were the soul witness to see the love blossoming between them .
