Ashaangi TS The Family Affair

Part III

Although Ashwin wanted to apologize to Sivaangi, they had to handle their daughter first. Surprisingly Ashvaa took it well and felt more guilty about the way she behaved with Shalini and wanted to apologize to her in person at school the next day.

Just as Ashwin relaxed and went to convince his wife, he got a call from his new movie's director's assistant who asked him to come meet the director right away stating emergency. So, he had to leave reluctantly.

It was around eleven at night when Ashwin was done with his works. It was supposed to be a meeting with director but then it got extended. One thing led to another and he ended up meeting a music director along with the director and producer for the movie. So, he got pretty late. While he drove back, he called his son catching up with him for the day.

"Seri, epo da veetuku vara?" Ashwin asked as he turned the car into his area.

"Pa, koncha naal kalichu varen. Ipovey anga vandhu ena pana poren? Veetlayeh dhan irukanum"

"Apo anga matum ena panringa sir uh?"

"Inga thatha pati kuda jolly ah iruken. Pati enaku pidichathu lam samachu tharanga. Thatha daily gardening soli thararu, veliya kuptu poraru. Inga Joe (Beagle dog) um irukan. Anga vandha na andha Puli Kuttan (Sivaangi's cat) kudumbathoda sandai podanum" Sivaash said making Ashwin laugh.

"Namma Puli Kuttan nee ilatha naala scratch pana yarum ilama kavala pattutu iruku, Sivash. Nee yenna da na ipdi solra"

"Edhu scratch pana va? Pa! Ithuku dhan na sonen namma pesama oru dog vanguvom nu. Super plan ellam potu vachurundhen. Amma dhan Puli Kuttan family kochukum nu plan ah flop akivitutanga!"

"Dei, athu onga amma veedu da. Ava dhan decide panuva yaru irukanum iruka kudathu nu. Athu naan ah irundhalum seri nee ah irundhalum seri"

"Hello daddy. Odanae na amma ku against ah pesura mathiri plate ah mathathinga. Epovum indha Sivash avan amma pakkam dhan. Athunala dhan per la kuda Sivash avan amma per ah mothala vachurukan."

"Vachurukan ah? Naanga vachom" Ashwin interjected.

"Athu matter kedayathu. Naan dhan amma ooda first favorite uh. Athuku aprm dhan neenga, Ashvaa lam, Mr. AK. Puriyuthula" Sivash scoffed.

"Dei en kuda poti ku varatha. En pondatti ku naan dhan da romba pidikum. Nee, onga akka lam aduthu dhan" Ashwin said with a knowing smile.

"Athu epdi neenga apdi solalam. Na av-" Sivash started but Ashwin cut him in middle.

"Seri, seri. Dialogue vitathu pothum. Olunga Friday kula veedu vandhu seru. Enaku Saturday la irundhu one week off, latest FIFA CD vangi vachuruke. Veladuvom"

Sivash was excited for his father's off week and agreed to come home by Friday. Ashwin asked his son not to disturb his grandparents and wished him good night before hanging up the call.

After parking the car, Ashwin walked inside. Sivaangi and Ashvaa retired to their room long ago. He wanted to check up on Ashvaa but he had to apologize to Sivaangi first. So, he walked inside the kitchen, had a glass of water before walking towards their room. He opened the door making sure not to make noise so that Sivaangi's sleep won't be disturbed.
