Dear mama,

             Epome manasula ulladha unga kanna paathu solla na thayangunathe ila, aana apdiyume sollama irundha sila vishayangal neraya iruku. Ungaluku onu theriyuma, enaku oru 12 vayasu irukum oru kutty payanoda photo va na en amma cupboard kulla paathen paathonayum enaku romba posa posa aairuchu epdi en amma vera yaar photo vayo vachuklaamnu. Aniki than amma en Kaila unga photo kuduthu ungala pathi sonnanga. Ungala first time nerla paathapo ve enaku therinchiruchu na photo la mattume paathu rasicha antha kutty payan neenga thaan nu. Aal than 6 adi valanthurkinga aana athe thiruttu muzhi. Aana apo enaku therla mama, na romba naal enake theriyama yenguna pala vishayam ungaltendhu enaku kedaikum nu. Velayaata ungala sight adika aarambichadhu mattum than nyabagam iruku, epdi endha nerathula neenga en life ah maarninganu therla. Namma vaazhakaye maatha pora person ah namma life la oru vaati than santhipom nu solluvanga, apdi than neenga enaku, ungalukum naa apdi thaan nu theriyum. Sakthi adikadi solluvan, na unga life la vandhadhukapram than neenga neraya open up aaninganu but u were the one who actually saved me. You always saved me and in that process u saved yourself too. You made me feel my heart's desire, you gave my soul a purpose and thank you for existing itself. You gave me hope, made me feel safe and for the first time I let myself be vulnerable around someone but I'm afraid to say it out aloud because if life finds out it might take it away from me. I can't possibly describe how much I love you and make even with all the sacrifices u did for me. I miss you already mama and remember I'll love you until music lives within me, that is even after my demise♥️
                                  ~ with love,
                                            your kuttima

Ashwin closed the letter with a wide smile spread on his lips and chuckled at how Sivaangi was already regretting his parents idea of them staying apart for the next two weeks until their wedding and packed her along with her mother and grandmother to pollachi. She jumped excitedly to the idea of following their usual customs but if Sivu was missing him at least half like he did she would have already started throwing tantrums to her mother.

She challenged him that she won't even call but in less than four days she started sending letters.

He kept it safe inside his wardrobe and sat to write back finally. He wasn't so eloquent with words like her but he always spills his heart effortlessly when it had anything to do with the queen of his heart.

Dear kuttima,

                   Yes, I miss you too. Na than appove sonnenla ithalla namaku thevaya Gopi! But ithuvum nalla than iruku illana ivalo azhagaana letters which will always stay with me kedachurkathu. You always leave me at a loss of words whenever u decide to pour ur love aana I also want you to know few things. Sivu, I was just surviving before you came into my life and you were the one who made me live my life after. If this isn't called saving then I don't know what is, better than arguing who saved who I guess we'll settle with the promise of saving each other when needed. I thought I had everything but un kooda irunthu palagunathuku apram my old life was no longer capable of making me happy. I dint sacrifice anything kuttima, i chose happiness! I chose you! I love how you trust me like no one ever did, I love how you look at me like no one ever did and I love how u love me like no one ever did. You are my vennila and keep shining and making my life more beautiful. I love you♥️
                                  ~with love
                                     Your mama

He closed the letter and wrote his hometown address with a smiling heart and peaceful mind. It was the first time they were staying apart for this long but he realised it was only making them stronger.

Akmv: dhoorama irukra kadhali ya manasula nenechutu irukradhulayum oru sogam iruku

He clutched the letter in his hands and left to the post office making the post man wonder in which decade was this man and his lover living.
