Mounamey Aval Mozhi

Aval Vandhuvital

"Arjun Anna" snapped Adi's voice bringing Arjun out of his trance
"Anna Satya oda baby ku naalaiku naming ceremony.... Satya Anna kooptrukaanga... Ummm...." Adi dragged fidgeting with his fingers

"Enna nu muzhusa sollu Adi" Arjun asked
"Illa Priya__" "Naa varen Adi" Arjun replied before Adi could complete

"Illa Arjun Anna naa unaku inform panna matu dha vandhen. We have no need to attend that function"
"Manasaatchiya thottu sollu Adi. Isn't it not needed kinda function for us" Arjun asked in a soft tone

Adi bowed his head down while Arjun continued
"Epdi Adi. Priya oda enaku irundha issue kaaga naa Satya kita irundhu dhoorama irukanu nu neneikradhu en point of view la irundhu correct ah theriyalam. Aanaa Satya? Avan kita irundhu unmaya marachom. Avan kalyanam kooda naa attend panla. Avanuku kashtama irundhurukadha? I can't be selfish anymore"

" But you have a reason to be selfish Anna" Adi argued
" That doesn't exist anymore Adi. I hope you understand. I am over it. And I have no issues in attending the naming ceremony" said Arjun and stormed to the rest room to refresh himself while Adi smiled

" He is still selfish. But only in your case d daisy duck"
Adi said caressing her image in the group photo framed and placed near Arjun's headrest

Folding his unbuttoned sleeves a little higher Arjun charmed in the white shirt with brown stripes leaving his top two buttons open. Trying to drive himself from the drooling gazes he received he engaged himself in the buzzing complains of his batch mates who were busy grumbling about their married lives and were heaving huge sighs while one among them asked

"Arjun.. Unaku eppo da kalyanam?"
Before Arjun could reply a female voice echoed
"Namma Batch oda chocolate boyku kalyanam aagala nu munnadiye therinjurundha naaney payyan ketu vandhu kalyanam pannirpene. Unlucky me" and a huge laughter wave prevailed in the air

Raghav noticing Arjun's uneasiness pulled him to his wife Saranya and the trio continued a comfortable chat for a few minutes while they heard a familiar female voice calling him

"Arjun!!"

Arjun took a deep breath in and out before turning his head to see the same woman who seemed so pretty to his eyes few years back but now held no emotions to her presence. With a small smile he greeted her
"Hi Priya! Epdi iruka?"

She reciprocated it and replied
"Nalla iruken Arjun! So... How is Life going?"
Arjun smirked
"Each day better than the previous day"
and she nodded with no interest while he added
"But still an unknown void pulling me back from living each day to the fullest"

Before Priya could question further a cracked voice came up
"Enna ipovachu ungaluku nyaabago vandhucha Dr.Arjun Kumar"
His eyes glistened just hearing his voice and turned only to engulf a broken Satya into his arms gluing his body hard onto his

"Sorry da macha. Enna mannichudu" Arjun chocked over his words with tears staining Satya's shirt. Satya couldn't fight further as he gave up pulling Arjun more burying his face over Arjun's shoulders
"Yen da kalyanathuku varala? Seri Kalyanathuku dha varala adhukapramu enna ithana varshathula unaku oru vaati kooda paaka thonalaya Macha" Satya spit out the pain his heart held in words while Arjun wiggled crying harder

A few minutes passed but none among them broke the hug as it displayed their Missings for each other in the past few years. They broke the hug when they heard Priya calling "Satya time aayduchu. Paapaaku peru veikra function start pananu. Polama?"

Satya moved not before pulling Arjun, Raghav and Prakash onto stage. Holding his left hand with his right palm Arjun stood there admiring the cute little Jr. Satya who was the centre piece pulling everybody's attention

" Dei Arjun " Prakash shook him
"Enna da" Arjun asked
"Dei Pragathi ku thanni thaago edukudham konjo mela poyi eduthutu variya?" Prakash requested him holding the five month old belly holding Pragathi in his arms. Arjun smiled and nodded leaving the stage to go upstairs and grab a kutty 200 ml waterbottle

Combing his locks with his bare fingers Arjun turned his head right and looked straight only to slam to a 5'4 short frame and sling sidewards moving his legs sidewardly jogging and locked his eyes with hers only to gasp and then regained his composure. Without a second thought his palms sped enough to hold the kutty wrist and turned her while his eyes turned misty and lips trembled "Sara ma"

****************************************************************************
2 years back

"You better back off Sara. You're ruining both of them promising your life long presence in both their lives. I don't know what you meant but both of them are serious about your promise . There is no peace in my marital life. Satya eppo paaru Sara sara sara nu suthuran. I am his wife. But there were no husband-wife conversations between us since we got married. His conversations were always about you. You're driving a married man crazy over you don't you feel ashamed about it. And next. Arjun. I knew I've hurted him. But it was only because of you. You're presence broke my trust over him and absent mindedly made me nod over Satya's marriage proposal. Naa yen Arjun ah veruthen nu theriyuma.... Remember Cheryl... Satya voda ex... En friend dha.... You know why Satya and Cheryl broke up eventhough both were serious about their very first relationship? It was just because of you damn it. Onnu illa rendu illa idhu varaiku 6 relationships Satya has drastically failed. Yaarunaala? It's just just just you behind it. Un oruthiya accept pannikadhadhala ellarayu thooki erinjutan en purushan. So Arjun anaiku reject aagi odanji poi irundhadhuku muluka muluka kaarano nee matu dha. Nyaabago vechiko. Arjun Satya matu illa. You're ruining Ajay and Adi's lives too. So please. Don't ruin their lives. Just leave them and back off " Priya screamed through her phone and hung up the call sabotaging the peace of a poor soul who silently sobbed the whole night and wrote her decision in her diary

" I am leaving "

With Love
Sara 💜

****************************************************************************
His eyes glistened still remembering those three words she had written in her diary. She tried moving from his hold but his palms were strong enough to hold her without hurting

" Indha vaati oda try pannadha Sara ma. Because you're gonna miserably fail " Arjun said with a determination shaded in his voice

Sara closed her eyelids gulping her tears back while Arjun wordlessly pulled her to the stage. Adi,Raghav, Prakash and Pragathi gasped at the duo who were approaching the stage replaced by a gleaming smile while Arjun made Sara stand among her brothers and Adi. Sara hung her head down unable to face them

Arjun placed his hands over her shoulders making her turn towards him while he signed a ' chinup ' and 'smile please' with his puppy eyes making her go weak and go by his request. The photographer who coincidentally turned his head noticed the cute duo and caught it in his camera capturing a 'Cute Candid'
