Magizhini's Pov
Eppo pathalum enna thittite irukar.... Manasula periya ivan nu nenapu....
Chei... I lied on my bed. Achcho hospital la irundu vandutu kuzhikama irukene...
Kappu adhikudu. Poi kuzhipom.... I grabbed my essentials and went to take shower.
After showering I came out wearing a cotton pants and cotton top.
Vaanathi ma ku ippo thaan udambu sari aagiruku so nammazhe edachum sapadu seilam... Ok adhuku munnadi enna seiyanum nu ketutu seivom.
I went to Vaanathi ma's room and knocked on it.
Yaaru.... Vaanathi ma asked.
Naathan ma.... I replied.
Uzhzha vaa magizh... She said. I opened the door and went inside.
Unna pathi thaan pesitu irundom.... She said.
Enna pathi enna ma pesitu irundinga.... I asked.

Mmm enaku eppovum pola kalaila ezhundu kovil poitu varanum avlothaan..... I said.

I immediately shook my head.
Adellam veen selavu. Apdi edachum pannanum na edachum orphanage ko illa old age home ku Andha panatha kudunga happy ah irupen..... I said genuinely.
Vaanathi cupped my face and kissed me on my forehead.
Nalla irupa magizh... Nee sonna mathiruye senjuralam...... Vaanathi ma said.
But one condition magizh.... Krishna uncle said.
Enna condition uncle..... I asked.

Mmmm fiddle oh drums oh sonna kekava poringa vanga poi lunch prepare pannalam.... I said and we made our way to the kitchen but she stopped in the middle.
Ennachu ma... I asked.
Naa Indrajith enna panitu irukan nu pathutu varen.... She said. I nod my head and went to the kitchen.
I opened the refrigerator and checked the vegetables. Mmm ellam iruku...
Magizh... Vaanathi ma came to the kitchen.
Sollunga ma... Unga paiyan enna panranga.. I asked.
Avan semma thookam.... She said.
Tired ah irukum la... I said.
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.

Ama en paiyana patha un moonji yen apdi pogudu.... She asked.
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.
I stood there fidgeting my fingers.
Magizh sapdalama.....Vaanathi ma asked.
Mmmm....I replied.
Vandu utkaru... She said.
I sat on the chair opposite to it.
Kadavule avar moonja mattum paaka koodathu...... I reminded myself.
Vaanathi ma served me food and as usual he served himself....
I was secretly peeking at him now and then. When I saw him enjoying the aviyal I made. I felt really happy. I didn't even realize that now I'm openly staring at him with a smile.
It feels great right when someone enjoys the food you made... I felt the same at that moment.
He raised his head and looked at me. I lowered my head and continued eating. Since Vaanathi ma and Krishna Uncle are busy talking about something they didn't notice me.
I damn sure my cheeks are red now.... His arrival really made me happy..... I raised my head to look at him but he was already looking at me.
I bit my lips to control myself from blushing.... Ennathaan paakurara...
Magizh andha sambar eduthu kudu.... Vaanathi ma asked.
I pushed myself a little forward to get the sambar bowl from his side and slowly moved the sambar bowl to Vaanathi ma's side.
He glared at me and raised his eyebrows.
I blinked my eyes in confusion.
He mouthed something. I couldn't get it. Namma kittaya pesuraru... Aiyoo adisayam...
Huh... I looked at him confused.
He stamped on my feet making me yelp in pain.
Ahhh..... My eyes started tearing.
Magizh ennachu ma.... Vaanathi ma and Krishna Uncle asked.
I looked at him in a way "why did you do that"
He shook his head slowly.... Literally threatening me with his eyes.
Yerumbu kadichitu maa.... I said.
Yerumbuka indha sound uh.... Vaanathi ma knocked on my head.
Ahh... Aazh aazhuku adikuringa....I asked.
Vera yaaru unna adicha.... She asked.
Yaarum illai.... I said and stood up taking the plate in my hand.
Enna magizh endiruchuta.... Vaanathi ma asked.
Saptu mudinju ma.... I said. And went to the kitchen...
I was washing the plate still in my deep thoughts.
Eduku theva illama en kaala midichanga...
I put the washed plate aside and turned to leave but he stood right infront of me. Making me go breathless...
Enna.... I asked in a breathy tone. My tone felt different for me like it's kinda embarrassing too. I don't how he would react now.
He opened his mouth to say something......
Indrajith.... Vaanathi ma called him from the entrance of the kitchen.
Plate wash pannathane vande kudu naane panren nee poi hand wash pannu.... She took the plate from him and he left glaring at me.
Eduku summa summa moraikuraru edachum venduthala irukum pola adhuku naathan kedachena....
After having lunch.... We all settled in the hall. Vaanathi ma's son grabbed a magazine and started flipping the pages. I averted my gaze from him when he caught me looking at him.
Casual ah iru magizh...... I said to myself.
Magizh.... aviyal eppovum pola super ma..... Krishna uncle said.
Nalla saptingala adhu podhum.... I said
Magizh inaiku evening un birthday shopping polama.....Vaanathi ma asked.
Bruno kooda vizhayadanum la.... I asked.
Adhan Bruno owner vandachula he will take care... Namma shopping polam..... She said.
Ama magizh Indrajith Bruno pathupan neega shopping poitu vanga..... Vaanathi nyabagam irukattum shopping mall closing time kulla vezhiya varanum...... Krishna uncle said.
Yen adhu engazhuku teriyaduna nee solli tharinga..... Vaanathi ma asked.
Illama usual neega rendu verum shopping morning ponale evening thaan veedu vandu seruvinga. Inaiku evening poringala adhan solluvome nu sonnen...... He said.
Magizh mathiri ponnuku dress edukanum na time aaga thane seiyum.... Adunala ponnunga vishaythula comment solladinga sariya Mr. Krishna..... Vaanathi ma asked.
I was looking at Indrajith . Usually when a guy meets him parents after a long time he prefers spending time with them but here he is going through the magazine...... Enna aazhu yah ivaru..
Magizh... Poi ready aagu.... She said.
Ippove va ... I asked.
Ama sooner we leave sooner we will return...... She said.
Ok... I went to my room and sat there for sometime...
Ok dress edupom... I chose a jeans and top...
I tied my hair into a ponytail and placed a small black bindi on my forehead and went to Vaanathi ma's room.... I knocked on the door...
Uzhzha vaa magizh.... She said.
She was already dressed and now she is tying her hair.
Magizh naa hair tie panitu varen. Nee kezha poi uncle kitta irundu debit card ah vangi vai... En card la edo problem so adhu use panna mudiyadu.... Naa already avar ta soliten so nee adha vangi bathramama vachuko.... She said.
Ok ma... I said. I walked backwards and stood facing her.
Maa semma azhagu ponga... I said pulling her cheeks.
She swatted my hands away playfully...
Parrah vekkatha.... I said.
Odiru... She said. I went to the hall. He was still in magazine and uncle was on his mobile.
Uncle... Debit card kudunga.... I asked extending my palm to him with a smile.
He smiled and pulled out his wallet. He took out his debit card and placed it on my palm.
Paathu selavu pannanum ok va... He asked.
Mmmm paapom uncle.... I said winked at him.
Appo dabbu gaali thaana.... He asked.
I guess so... I said shrugging my shoulders.
Magizh polama.... Vaanathi was asked climbing down the stair.
Polame... I said.
Ok then bye nanga shopping porom... I said to uncle and left. Before exiting the home. I turned and looked at him once. He was also looking at me.
I turned my head and went along with Vaanathi ma.
We reached the mall.
Maa... Uzhzha kaal eduhtu vaikuraduka munnadiye solriren.. Only one dress.... I put a condition.
One birthday dress. Ok va... She said.
Done... I said and we went inside. She is the one who choose clothes for me. Her selections are always good... After rummaging through the clothes for almost 1 hour. She chose one halfsaree.
Indha half saree romba nalla irukum magizh... She said.
Ama ma azhaga iruku..but evlo.. I asked.
Adellam keka koodathu ozhunga pudichiruka illaya nu sollu.... She asked...
Mmm pudichiruku....I said.
Ok then pack this... She said and gave the dress to the salesgirl.
Vaa magizh... She said
Enga ma... I asked.
Casual dress vanga.... She said.
Yaaruku... I asked.
Unakum enakum... She said.
Adhan sonnen la enaku oru dress podhum nu.... I said.
Mmm naa enna sonne one birthday dress ngra condition ku thaan ok sonne....I fulfilled it.... She said.
Idellam bongu... I said.
Bongu oh baang oh pesama... Vaa.... Unkooda sendu unna mathiriye pesuren...... She dragged me with her.
She bought me lots of clothes to wear at home and some casual wear.... She didn't listen to my refusal..
I felt guilty when she is spending money on me like this...
Maaa.... I called her.
Teriyum nee enna solla poranu... She said.
Enaku ponnu illa magizh adan avazhuku seiya aasa pattadhu ellam unaku seiyuren... Munnadi Nithya irundu ippo ava illa so unaku seiren... I feel happy doing this so venam nu sollada magizh...... She said. Her eyes begged for me to accept.
Ok.... I said. Her face illuminated in happiness. Finally around 7.30 pm we reached home.
We saw uncle and Vaanathi ma's son watching BBC news. We had our shopping bags in our hands and the servant anna brought the other bags..
Oh paravalaye vandutinga naa kooda angaye stay panni shopping mudichitu nalaiku varuvinganu nenachen..... Uncle teased us.
Romba pesadhinga aprom night dinner cut paniruven.... Vaanathi ma threatened him.
Naa eduvum sollala pa... He surrendered.
Vaanathi ma's son looked at us. He looked at me and the bags in my hands...
He scoffed and looked away.... Yen ipdi react panraru.... I shrugged my shoulders unable to understand his reaction.
Magizh bags la un room la kondu vai. Naa baaki irukura bags eduthutu varen .. She said...
We went to my room with the bags... That night I skipped dinner saying I'm full.
We had snacks in the mall so Vaanathi ma didn't force me to eat.
I lied on my bed drowning in my thoughts.... Soon I dozed off due to the tiredness from roaming here and there in the shopping mall..
Nalaiku kalai Enna vachruko..... Adha nalaiku papom....
