Blabla shit
Shivangi's stomach was churning, when she saw her newly promoted husband ( yes, from boyfriend obviously) laughing and cracking jokes with their friends.
How can he do this to me??
" Macha, Nan manmadhan da!!!" He proclaimed, feeling haughty.
" Amam amam. Enoda title-a nee eduthutala" Pughazh her favourite brother shaked his head.
" Athu yepovume enodathu than!!"
Fucker.
She suddenly got up scaring all the five people sitting in front of her playing cards. Pughazh looked questionably, Sarath took the chance to look at other's card collection while Sunitha was yawning besides Rakshan who there idle without any cards.
" What happened?" Ashwin asked.
" Mind your business" Shivangi replied, rather rudely.
Vitta kadhulernthu pogaiye vanthurum Pola.
She was sitting in the veranda when her dear brother no. 2 entered into the scene.
Disaster Creator mode : On

" Enna thangam, yen thaniya iruka??" He asked her very favorite sister. He didn't know why she got up, but he knew he gotta follow her.
" Inime thaniya than irukanum na. So I'm just practicing" His sister replied grumbling.
Ithu enna da pothu porali aa iruku!?!
" Wait what?"
She remained silent. Rakshans insides we're screaming to know the tea- the problem and sort it out ( or blow it ) soon.
" Enna aachu?? Antha vilangama ponavan yethavathu sonana?"
" Avan panathu, sonanthu ellam pothum. He's a fucking liar " she said hurtfully.
Enanga, kalyanam aagi 2 varusham kuda aagala adhukulaiyaa!
Rakshan took a deep breath preparing himself to sit still and listen to her sob story for God knows how long. He pulled a chair besides her rested his leg on the coffee table.
" Well, what are you waiting for?? Go on!!!" He urged.
She took a deep breath.
~
It was 4 months after thier lovely marriage, she was sitting in her bed and reading lyrics of a new song she wanted to practice. Suddenly she heard a sound inside the bathroom.
A female sound.
" Yara irukum? Ash than ulla irukan... Aprom yen..." She whispered doubtfuly.
She got up quietly and inched near the bathroom. The shower was on, because of the noise but she could her mild female voice vibrating. She kept her ears on the door trying to hear what was going inside.
" Yes, yes done! " Her husbands voice came.
" But, Im missing youuuuuu!" A female voice whined.
" Okay"
" And I love youuuuuuu"
" Hmm. Alright I've recorded-"
She took her ears from the door quickly as if it burnt her. She couldn't believe her eyes-ears regarding what just happened. She quickly went out of room before her sathiya purushan could see that she was ottu ketufying.
" What the hell?" She asked to herself.
Is, is he talking to a-
Why is she saying I love you?? Are they lovers, maybe forbidden love ohhh or start crossed lovers. Probably you dad won't let me marry you but I love you- WAIT IS HE CHEATING ON ME!!!!!!!!
Suddenly she felt two strong arms grabbing her by the waist and a hard solid frame pressing her back. She felt pricking hair on her left cheek as a warm gush of wind caressing her ear lobe.
" Heyy Kulu Kulu, ena naduroom la apidiya oranji pona maari iruka!" He asked, burring his face into her neck.
All her doubts, realisations and anger faded in a second.
Damn, you!
" O-Onnum illa, summa than " she blushed.
" Ohh, okay illa yenna en pondati yepavume oru yedathula summa iruka matala athan kettan " he replied.
" Nee office Pola?" She tried to change the subject.
" Yen, kuthu kalaton en pondati Inga irukum pothu na yen ponum??"
" Ithey kuthu kalaton irukura pondati ku ice cream vangi thararthuku than" she giggled.
" Poren, poren iru" he mumbled nuzzling his bearded face into her soft creamy skin and as slowly kissed littered her neck with kisses.
She breathed in, as he tightened his grip on her waist, pushing her more into his front even though they were incredibly close. She leaned her head back, as he slowly played with her ear lobe with his mouth. His hands moved relentlessly, feeling ever curve, dents and muscles on her body. Before he could capture her mouth she pushes him away.
" Shivangiiiiiiiiiii" he begged closing his eyes.
" No way, I'm having recoding, you're having work you better get moving purusha!" She warned, lightly hitting his broad chest.
He caught her hands, and pulled her back in this time her facing him directly. Her cheeks again we're crimison red, as she struggled to get away. Yet, again he won and encircled her back with her arms and leaned in. His mouth barely touched hers as he whispered
" Enna kolriyea dii "
My Ashwin can never cheat. He can do whatever but he'll never cheat.
His lips this time locked with her, as a slowly but heatedly began to explore her mouth again.
What about-
No no no, he could never....
~
The second time shivangi was faced with this dilemma is when she was doing the laundry.
Her mouth was singing her newly learnt song, as she smelled wonderful aroma from the kitchen.
Enna panano illayo, nalla samaika therinja aala pathu katikunen!!
Well done shi-
Wtf!!?!?!
Her mind voice ultimately escaped her mouth when she found a random lipstick in a black pant.
Her husbands black pants.
She took the lipstick out and examined it. It a latte brand, a nude lip colour. A very peculiar one actually.
" Ithu yeppadi Ivan pant la?" She asked herself.
She threw the pants into the washing machine aggressively. Her anger level increased when she saw how expensive the brand was.
Bastard won't buy me anything costly but this charecter gets something expensive???
She threw the basket into the corner loudly and banged the door open. She was clutching the lip stick so hard, that a subtle crack could be heard. She marched towards the kitchen to confront her husband.
Then she stopped.
He was there, doing three dishes at once, with a smile on his face. Five more dishes were already done and kept on the table. The kitchen+ dining was suprising dim lit, and he was wearing a white shirt.
There were two glasses of red wine set on the table.
With rose petals.
And her favourite blueberry cake.
In the center.
Her strong grip on the lipstick weakened, so did her heart as it once again flew over and went to it's owner who's none other than the grinning man in front of her current signing her to come.
" Wha..." She whispered.
" Oiii rowdy, enna nee mattum than perfect pondati ya?? Nanum than perfect purushan! Va vanthu okaru" he said wiping of his sweat from the heat.
" Why..." She asked in disbelief as she approached the table.
" There should be a why? Nee than antha reason. I should treat you right princess. " He shakes his head, bringing the last pair of dishes and keeping it in the table.
" How long it took you??" She quakes.
" Approx. 4 hours? Yesterday it took me 2 hours to make the bread and bake the cake" he said keep a pair of cutlery besides her plate.
Ashwin, you unreal man...
" Heyy, darling" he smiled, pulling her into his embrace. " Don't overthink okay? I did this because I want to. And I love you, it's the bare minimum every man should do. " he mumbled looking at her.
She looked back in disbelief. How can a person who works all night and full day, comes to home and again cooks for his wife.
His doubting wife.
She let herself getting pulled again to her seat as he served her the dishes. All the doubts she had faded...
Oh my, my, my....
She threw the lipstick in her small pouch beside the dining table. As she threw away her doubts, anger and bitterness.
Ashwin could never.....
~
It was Sunday.
She was sitting in a big theater with her husband who's currently tracing patterns in the back of her hand looking at the film.
Enna padam ithu?
The film is so boring but was interested. It's like watching a slow, non logical and senseless serial yet being hooked up because the inner Indian Bahu loves shit this.
" Bore adikutha?" He whispered his eyes trained on the film.
" Obviously"
" You know something else I can do? " He suggested his eyes now fixed on her.
Suddenly she realised it was a corner seat, classic move and not a lot of people were there. And they had a lot of time.
Before she could flirt back, his phone flashed with a contact name.
Rakshu honey❤️❤️
He immediately took his hand of her, and picked up the phone. " Sorry call" he whispered and got up to exit the hall.
What the fuck?
She sat there alone in the blue lighting as the main character of the film is crying because her lover betrayed her.
Will I be her in the future??
Who the fuck is rakshu ma??? Why the fuck is there red hearts?? Why did Ashwin panick when he got the call??? Why didn't he just talk here??
Is Ashwin cheating on me???
The film ended after a hour. Ashwin came back in 12 minutes and didn't proceed any moves after. They just sat in silence. One was patient another was raging.
When they reached home shivangi didn't even look at him, just went to thier room and shut the door loudly.
" I will not tolerate this " she repeated to herself trying to calm down.
Am I not beautiful? Not hot? Too cute? Too ugly? Dumb? Useless? Damaged? Young? Boring? Cringe? Am I not enough-
She closed her eyes pretending to be asleep when her husband came in. She could hear him change, move around things, play with light switches but she didn't get up or even open her eyes.
Soon enough he switched off the lights and the bed dipped. He shuffled around the blankets and slowly inched close to her.
She could literally feel him staring, but didn't open her eyes. He laid his head on her collar bone, and grasped her hand as if his life is depended on him.
Panrathu ellam panitu, unna na cuddle vera pananum aa??
" Azhagi" he whispered, plastering himself on her side yet not in an inappropriate way.
" Nee enaku kadachathu ennoda biggest varom theriuma? You're the most prettiest, cutest, sexiest, smartest, brightest, maturest, interesting person I've ever known. Nee ilama na enna panuven nu theriyathu" he continues.
" Yepadi ivalo happy aa iruka nee? Un Koda irunta pothum enaku ulagamea en Kaila iruka mari iruku. Nee pothum ennaku. Ithalam theriyama nalla thongara la? Paravala, ennala unoda kana pathu Sola mudilanalum paravala, ippadi yavathu solren "
" You're enough for me love. More than enough. Sleep well " he whispered.
She felt a feather like touch on her forehead as he left her hand and turned the opposite side to sleep.
Ashwin you fool.....
All the ugly, nasty things she felt faded away in a second. She could only smile and blush hoping what he said was true.
She opens her eyes and sees her husbands back, curled in like a kid. After some time, she goes close and hugs him from back.
He could never......
~
" Damnnnn" Rakshan whistled.
Ippa unnum illa matter, iva yepolam doubt padra lo appolam Avan vanthu aleka avala mayakidran...
" I HATE HIM!" She shouted.
" Ippo, enna aachu thangam? Athan nee solta la avana doubt panna maten nu?" He asked casually.
He way greeting with a bloodcurdling glare and a very very angry shivangi.
Bad move raksha.... Baad movee
" LOOSU LOOSU!! Avan enna manipulate panran annaaaaa!!!"
Oof, sucks to be you.
" Seri ippo varaikum ennom illa la? Avan kitta poi kelu, mattera sort out panu!"
" But you told me that he's cheating!!" She argued.
Disaster manager strikes again!
" NAN AA???" He shouted.
" Amaaa, indirectly "
Enakea theriyama yeppo......
She took a deep breath.
Flashback oo?
~
" Anna!" She shouted into her phone irritated.
" Sollu thangam?"
" Ash innum veetku varla, yenga irukan nu theriuma?"
There was a pause. Then few very familiar laughs were heard.
" Aiyoo.... I have no idea, last night en kitta inniki oru important ana naal nu sonan, I thought he would've had some surprise or shit for you.." her brother told slowly.
" Oh... Maani 8 avudhu, I don't think it's a surprise for me ..."
" Yaruku therium, side la oru setting vachalum vechirupan "
" Enathu??"
" Onnum illa, nee valai ya paaru thangam!"
~
Rakshan had to drink 3 glasses of water, under the stare of shivangi.
" Ippo sollunga"
Enna solrathuku iruku ?
" See thangam, na apo summa olarirupen. Athalam perusa eduthukada.... Nee enna namburathuku pathila avana nambalam la?"
" Anna, I know you longer. Neenga solratha na yeppove vedha vala eduthupen. Ashwin aa namburen, athanala thane I married him. But I don't even know now....."
Seeing her moisty eyes, sad smile made rakshan determined. He's a very good friend of Ash but before all that, he's a brother.
By birth or not.
" Ashwin, are you cheating on me??" Shivangi asked in front of everyone in the hall along with rakshan.
Rakshan could visibly see Ashwin panick.
" W-What!?!"
" Are. You. Cheating. On. Me?"
" WHERE DID U GET THAT FROM??" Ashwin screamed getting up while the others got up too.
" Just tell her the truth " Rakshan said skeptically.
" What the hell!?! Why-"
" First in restroom I heard yo talking with a girl, second you had this very expensive nude lip stick and I don't even wear nude!! And at last where were during March 24, evening 8:05!?!?!?" Shivangi seethed in anger.
The whole room went quiet with a heavy intense air. Everybody expect shivangi and Ashwin felt uncomfortable because why were they here?
I just wanted a good weekend, not this drama!
Ashwin took a deep breath. " You, are supposed to trust me. You are supposed to question me, but why are you accusing me all of sudden-"
" DON'T LIE DAMNIT!!!" His wife screamed.
" I AM NOT LYING!!! I WAS TALKING WITH MY SCRIPT WRITER THAR DAY, AND I WAS RECORDING THE SCRIPT, NOW FLIRTING WITH SOME WOMAN!!!!"
" WHY IN THE BATHROOM?"
" BECAUSE IT'S A SUPRISE IDIOT!!!! I TAKING A MOVIE BASED ON OUR LOVE!!!!"
The room again went silent.
Ashwin is a very great director who's known for his great depiction of biographies, but an autobiography based on his love is very inspiring. And too prideful but who cares?
Shivangi was visible stunned, as this was certainly not the answer she was expecting. Ashwin was breathing heavily, cheeks flushed angry that his secret came out.
" What " Pughazh squeaked.
" What about the nude lip stick??" Rakshan asked.
" She wore a nude lipstick on the first day of meeting me, so I brought the exact brand for comparison and I forgot to give it to the make up artist. The. Next. Day. I. Gave. It. To. Him " he replied with a glare.
Damn okay. Perfectionist.
" And I was not there on that day because I was working with the production company to release the announcement on July 15 as it is our anniversary date."
" It was mean to be a surprise but....." Ashwin continued, looking at the ground.
" It's not anymore is it?"
Shivangi burst into tears as she ran towards him, hugging him tight. She kept on mumbling sorry while her husband hugged her bac tight.
Everybody was awkward but atleast happy that nothing too dramatic happened.
After sometime of this sweet, sickening love Ashwin brushed off her tears and asked " How did u come up with this conclusion baby?"
I felt the air leave me, as I froze in place praying to all kinds of god's hoping to save me.
Shivangi slowly turned to see me, as her eyes locked with mine. And another set of serious eyes locked with me too.
Adang, pochi da!
I nervously looked around, and to my disappointment everybody looked at me. They weren't too suprised but.
Still.
" Dei raksha......"
Disaster Creator da nee!
