CHAPTER 48

Adhi closed his eyes as he took a deep breath and turned away. He turned away from Dhira facing the other side.

Yenna sollanum?

Dhira painfully asked. Adhi turned his head around, those eyes that saw her with love, just a moment ago, were reflected with frustration and pain.

Silence.

Is what Dhira's been receiving from him recently and it was giving her the relief of not being suspected.

Nevertheless she didn't realise that it was the other way around.

He didn't want her to know that he knew. Something he shouldn't have.

Dhira realised it the second she grasped his bloodshot eyes that blared admist the heavy raindrops or tears that were blurring her sight.

Innum yevlo nalliki?

Adhi asked as he turned away again. Dhira was still staring at him, hoping that he wasn't talking about what she was thinking about.

Idhuku mela ennala nadhika mudhiyadhu Dhira!

Adhi stomped towards her as Dhira stood rooted. Bitter hot tears were rolling down her eyes. He grabbed her shoulders as she lowered his eyes to etch with hers.

Ennaku romba naala've theriyum ma

He whined finally confessing, Dhira was standing like a stone, completely dumbfounded,

Nee solluvae, solluvae'nu, na romba wait panniten. Ana ennala mudhila Adhira

Adhi was on the verge of breaking,

En kitta solla unaku apdhi yenna thayakkam

Dhira lowered her head guiltily, Adhi cupped her face and made her look up,

Vitutu poiruven'nu nenaikiriya?

Dhira trembled in tears as Adhi held her firmly,

Ennala mudhiyadhu Adhira. Nee illama ennala... enna pathi koodha... yosika mudhiyadhu

Adhi's words broke up and all he could say came out as stutters. He squeezed his eyelids shut in hope for his tears would stop. Dhira was completely numb as her choppy breathing and watery eyes remained the same.

Adhi steadied himself before he firmly spoke,

Ennala yenikum,
Yedhunalayum,
Yenna analum,
Unna vittu poga mudhiyadhu

Ana na... poiruven Adhi

Dhira finally managed to speak in between her fits of sobs.

Ennala. Unkoodha iruka mudhiyadhu. Na sethud-

Adhi abruptly shut Dhira up by harshly clashing his lips on hers.

Dhira broke the kiss to explain,

Unakku purile, na se-

He kissed her again, painfully tugging at Dhira's lips,

Purinjiko Adhitya

Dhira pleaded breathily. They put their foreheads together catching their breath, Adhi shook his head in denial,

Matten

Vitru

Matten

Adham pidikathe Adhitya.

Matten

Yennika irundhalum na sethuduven!

There she said within a breath making Adhi jerk his head up and look into her eyes. The ones that used to show joy were shattered with pain
