Sa Douleur (His Pain)

****

In quiet comfort, they strolled together through the woods. He felt butterflies in his gut as she held onto his arm. Vikram helped Sailaja into the car as they arrived there. He soon took the wheel of the vehicle. A long period of stillness followed. Sailaja struggles with her speech. She was feeling unsure about herself. She wasn't bothered about Vikram. He is aware that it will be challenging for her to comprehend everything that took transpired.

She mustered the strength to look directly into his face. On his face, he has bruising and bleeding. His white shirt was completely red from being covered with blood. He had bandaged his knuckles, something she had forgotten to inquire about when they first met, and his hands were coated in dry blood. She extended her fingers carefully in order to touch the wound close to his cheekbone. She hissed out of concern that he would experience pain. But the entire time, he was grinning at how adorable she was.

Sai: Valikidha? 😣

Vik: Hmmhmm, pazhagirichima.

All of a sudden, she began to cry. In a state of terror, Vikram cupped her cheeks.

Vik: Ma ennama achi!? Hey enakku onnumillema. I'm perfectly fine.

Ar: Loosupayale! Valikudhanu keta valikilenu sollu, adha vittutu extra fitting-ah yenda pesure? 😤

Vik: Ma sorry-ma theriyame solliten. Valikilema azhadhe please kashtama irukku. 😔

Sai: Seri azhala. 😢

Vikram saw that she started to feel queasy out of the blue.

Vik: Ennama edhavadhu pannudha? 😥

She pointed at his blood-stained shirt while casting a downward glance.

Vik: Ennada solra? 🙄

Ar: Ratha vaada adikidhu poleda. 😐

Vik: Ratha vaada adikidhama? 😶

Sai: Hmm. 😔

Vik: Sorry-ma konja neram wait pannu naan ippo vandhuduren.

He got out of the vehicle and walked to the trunk. He took a bottle of water to wash the blood off after opening the car boot and taking off his shirt and bandage. He wiped himself off with tissues, grabbed an air freshener, and then got into the driver's seat.

Vik: Ma ippo OK-va? 😊

Sai: 😳

When Sailu caught a glimpse of Vikram wearing only a singlet, her jaw dropped. Her stomach immediately twisted at the sight of his well-built arms, the damp droplets on his neckline, his somewhat drenched hair, and the scars covering his body.

Vik: Ma veetuku polama? 🙂

Sai: Hmm. 😳

Sailu and Vikram had a lot of calm during the drive. She had a pink tint to her cheeks as she used her peripheral vision to study his features. Vikram was aware of it, but he kept quiet so as not to make her feel uncomfortable.

Ar: Sight adikirala? 🤭

Vik: Hmm. 😊

Ar: Vekka paduriya? 🤭

Vik: Hmm. 🙈

Ar: Road-eh parthu ottuda loosu payale! 🤨

Vik: 😑

A touch on his exposed shoulder was felt by him.

Vik: Enna Sailuma edhavadhu venuma? 🙂

Sai: A... adhu adhu avanga. 😟

Vik: Evungama? 🤨

Sai: Adhan modha nammakitte pretchana pannangale. 😟

Vik: Avanungalapathi yosikadhema. Avanungala marandhuru. Just leave it. 😐

They arrived at her house quickly. He left the car parked on the side of the road. For some while they sat motionless and in quiet. Vikram sighed and grasped her palms, holding them close to his chest.

Vik: I know, inniki nadandhadhu unakku completely oru bad experience-dhan. Nee ennapathi enna imagine panni vechirukenu enakku theriyadhu ana idhudhan naan. En life ipdidhan. Enakku yarayum en life ulle iluthutu varanumnu asai ille, yen unna vittutu poyiralamnukooda naan nenaichiruken. But I find it very hard. The decision is yours-ma. I swear nee enna reject panna naan un kannuminnuke varamaten ana unakku oru shadow-ah irundhu unna protect pannuven. 😔

His hold on Sailaja's hands gradually loosened when she unlocked the passenger side door to get out of. Vikram, who had tears in his eyes, watched as she began to slowly walk away. She briefly paused in her stride before continuing on her way back to the car. As she drew nearer to him, Vikram brushed away his tears.

Vik: Ennama ennachi? 🙂

Sai: Veetukulle vanga Vicky. 😢

Vik: Ma naan epdima veetukulle? Amma appa ellam irupangama. Naan ipdi vandha edhavadhu nenaikaporanga. 😟

Sai: Please Vicky. Ungalukku adi patturuku. At least dressing-achum pannikonga please. 😢

Vik: Yenma ipdi. 😞

Ar: Dey polamda parkave pavama irukku. 😣

Vik: Ava amma appa partha pretchanai ayidumda. Enakku mattum enna aasaya avala azha veykanumnu. ☹️

Sai: Please Vicky enakaga vangalen. 😢

Vik: Ma kenjadhema please, sangadama irukku. Naan ippo vandha edhavadhu problem aayidumma. Avanga enna parkakoodadhunu solradhukku kooda chances irukkuma please-ma purinjiko. 😖

Ar: Dey azharada. Yenda? 😖

She wiped away her never-ending stream of sorrow and continued to gaze down.

Sai: Bye Vicky. 😔

She hurried back to her house while sobbing, shut the car door, and got in. With increasing fury, Vikram punched harder on the driving wheel.

Vik: Yenda enakku mattum ippadi nadakudhu? 😭

Ar: Azhadhada ellam seriya poyidum. 😔

Vik: Ava avlo kenji ketkura, ana ennale poga mudiyalenu nenaikirappa manasu valikidhuda. 😭

Ar: Viduda, avalukku puriyumda. Unakku adi patturukunudhan ava apdi nadandhukuta. Nalla parthukoda avala. Indha madhiri ponnunga yarukum avlo lesule kedaikadhuda. 🙁

Vik: Andha vishayathula mattum naan romba lucky-da. Usure ponalum avala batharama pathupenda. 😢

(At Sailu's home)

She sobbed uncontrollably as she entered her house. To stop her parents from interrogating her, she scrubbed her face and tried to hide her sadness.

Vij: Vaama, ippodhan mudinjicha? Yenma orumadhiri irukke? 🙂

Sai: Tired-ah irukkenpa. 😔

T: Seekram kulichitu vaadi. Saptutu nalla thoongu. Pavam en ponnu moonje seri ille parunga. ☹️

Sai: Ma naan angaye saptuten. Enakku thookam varudhu naan thoongata? 😔

T: Seridi mogatha kazhuvitu poyi paduthu thoongu.

Sai: Serima bye-pa goodnight. 😔

She hurried upstairs to her room, quickly locked the door, and then began to sob subtly.
