In morning,

Mom: We are taking our daughter with us.

Gowtham: En ena aachi?

Krithika: Na ethuku inga irukanum? Unaku thaan ena pidikala Ila?

Barath: Anni pogatheenga Anni.

Gowtham: Krithi pogatha. Please.

Krithika: Ila Gowtham enaku inga iruka pidikala.

----------

In midnight, I woke up to drink water. I can see Gowtham sweating and talking in his sleep. He is having a nightmare, it seems.

Krithika: Gowtham Gowtham wake up.

He opened his eyes and breathing heavily.

Gowtham: Krithi.

He hugged me and snuggled his face into my neck.

I kept rubbing his back.

Krithika: Hey, it's okay. I'm here.

He pulled away.

Krithika: Do you wanna talk about that?

He shaked his head as no.

Krithika: It's okay, sleep.

He lied down, and I was about to get up.

Gowtham: Krithi please bed la paduthuko. Innaiku oru naal.

He said, like begging. I nodded.

He lied, as he is facing the ceiling. I lied beside him, facing him. I hesitated, but I started tapping him to make him sleep.

He looked at me and smiled. But I can see pain in the eyes. We both slept.

Gowtham pov: Morning I woke up with a headache. Maybe it's because of the nightmare. Wooh it's scary. I felt weight in the stomach. She is sleeping so close to me while hugging me. She looks cute. I turned to her side and kissed her forehead.

Gowtham: Losing you is my biggest fear now.

He slowly released himself from her grip and went to freshen up. I got up after sometime and was sitting in the bed with a sleepy face.

Gowtham: Good morning

He came out just in a towel without a shirt. I closed my eyes.

Krithika: Go-Good morn-morning.

He chuckled. I ran towards the restroom and closed the door.

Gowtham: Hey, towel eduthutu po di.

Krithika: Aama Ila.

I came out and searching for towel.

Gowtham: Na venum na intha towel tharava?

I widened my eyes.

Krithika: Na gue-guest ro-room la kuli-kulichikara.

She ran away from there, and he chuckled at her behavior. He kept smiling like an idiot while changing his dress.

He came down.

Mom and dad sitting in the living room.

Gowtham: Uncle krithi enga?

Mom: Room la iruka pa.

He went towards a guest room.

Gowtham: Krithi ennoda charger paathiya?

He asked while going inside.

Krithika: Sorry da. Na thaan night edutha. Solla maranthuta. Anga bed kita iruku paaru.

Gowtham: Thala ah thovatu. Cold vara poguthu.

He said and went out.

I smiled and looked in the mirror. Intha maari ivan solra, pandra chinna chinna vishayam enaku romba pidikum.

We had breakfast.

Mom: Naanga kelambarom pa. Driver vara sollitom.

He nodded.

Krithi became sad. He held her hand and smiled in assurance.

They bid us bye.

Uncle: Konjam batharama paathukonga pa. Etha thappu panna kova padama sollunga. Ava purinchipa.

He nodded.

Barath: Kavala padatheenga. Na Anni ah batharama paathukara.

Gowtham: Ava thaan uncle engala batharama paathukara. kavala padatheenga naangalum paathupom. Ena adikaratha mattum ava konjam kammi pannikanum avalo thaan.

He said while rubbing his cheeks. I widened my eyes.

Mom: Ennathu adichaala?

Krithika: Amma avan poi solraan.

I glared at him.

They laughed at us and went.

Barath: Ena anna having fun ah?

Krithika: Po da poi college ku kelambu.

I said while hitting his head.

Barath: Ouch.

Gowtham laughed at him. He went.

I turned to Gowtham and glared at him.

Gowtham: Sari ma na office kelambara.

He said while smiling awkwardly.

Krithika: Hey phone eduthutu po da.

I shouted

He came back, took his phone, pinched my cheek and ran from there.

Gowtham: Bye di. Take care.

I chuckled and touched my cheek.

Krithika pov: Days went on like this. He treats me so well. I started falling for him. The way he takes care of me when I'm sad or sick. The way he smiles at me every morning. The way he teases me by not wearing his shirt. We started to sleep in the same room but not in the same bed.  (His abs and muscles. He looks hot and sexy every morning. Cha, na ena yosikara). The way he treats barath and me like we are his kids, buying us gifts, and takes us out. OMG, I'm in love with him.

Gowtham pov: It's been 4 months since we got married. I don't know whether I'm in love with her or not. Love epdi irukum nu enaku theriyum. I loved Archana for a year. But it's something different. Archana used to kiss me whenever we met. I thought that's love. But krithi's smile is enough to make me go crazy. It's not like I'm comparing them. It's just the love so different, and I'm confused about what love is. Even if it's my mistake, Archana always apologized to me. But, Krithi, no way. She never let her crown fall. Ava thappu panna ava sorry keppa. Na thappu panna ena kenja viduva. Most importantly, money. Archana ku epavum na etha gift vaangi kuduthute irukanum. athuvum costly ah. Nalla iruku nu, na nenacha less expensive gift vaangi kudutha, she will be upset. Na krithi ku ithu varaikum ethume vaangi kuduthathu ila. ava ithu varaikum en kita kettathu ore oru vishayam thaan, athu antha pasangaluku sponsers. Ithu ellathayum thaandi krithi kuda na happy ah iruka. I never touched her or kissed her. But in recent times, whenever I see her alone, I always wanted to kiss her.


*I think I'm in love with her.
