Nyaabagam Varuthe

Ennava irukkum ?

Murugan entered to the happy milieu of his two ladies and his son in law laughing over a shared joke

He had had a long day ..and was returning home all tired

But on seeing the happy faces and the hearing the sound of laughter his spirits lifted..He walked in with a smile

Kathir saw him enter and stood up by way of greeting him

But Murugan hastened his steps and urgently said

Ada ukkarunga maappillai eppo vantheenga

Ippo thaan oru 15 nimisham aachu

Oh seri seri..oru velaiya velia ponen konjam late aayiduchu

Enga tea podattuma ille saappdalaamaa..Kathir maappillayum inga thaan saapda poraapula..

Tea venaam Parvathy ippo thaan kudichen..ellarum saapdalaam

And they had dinner..a tasty hearty meal amidst a lot of chattering

Even after the meal Kathir sat chatting with Mullai

Yen ma Mullai..innikku nalla pournami..neeyum avarum mela motta maadikku pongalen..kaathum nalla adikkuthu

Ahn seri ma smiled Mullai

They both went up

They stood against the parapet wall looking at the moon for sometime

Suddenly Kathir snaked his arm around her waist and pulled her close to his side

She looked at him to find his eyes boring into hers

Ennanga

Intha nila velichathula azhaga irukka he said

She simply smiled blushing

Ponga vekkama irukku

Vekka padu..rasichu soldren..nejamaa azhaga irukka ..enakku theriyum unna paarkka vantha unnaiya vittuttu pogarthu kashtamnu..ippo paaru poga manasu illaama ..avasthai

Kondu vanthu vida munnadi yosichu irukkanum

Yosikkala enna pannalaam he asked

Romba thaan..kovama koottittu vanthuttu..ippo ippudi pesarthu

They sat on the short wall that outlined the open to sky in their hall

Forgetting that they could be seen he had his arm around her and she laid her head on his shoulder

Paasamaa sonna kekka maatta ..athaan kovam mathiri

She smiled..she knew this ..

Yen kannukutty kitta enna kovam enakku..he smiled

She nestled closer to him happy hearing what he had to say

Parvathy who happened to cross the open space saw the outline of the couple

The lady getting old ..her eyesight was beginning to fail her..all she could see was their silhouettes..but the mother didn't need to see more ..just the sight of her daughter with her head on her husband's shoulder was enough..growing up she did this with her father whenever she was tired or feeling down..today she stood witness to the fact that her daughter still had that shoulder..

Parvathy knew it was a huge thing for Kathir to feel comfortable in this house..she had spoken ill of him many times in the past..enough to keep him away from this house ..to avoid them like the plague
