Indhrajith's Pov

Night

Appa, amma eppo varanga....I  asked sitting on the one seater..

Ennada romba akkara irukuravan mathiri kekura.... Appa asked.

Enaku akkara illama vera yaaruku amma mela akkara irukum.... I asked.

Dei ava ipdi kovil kovil Ah suthurade unnala thaa..... Nee oru kalyanam PAnna ava nimathiya irupala.... Appa asked.

Appa en life la kalyanam nu onnu kedaiyadu. So please Ada pathi pesadinga...... I warned him.

Sari pa naa eduvum sollala.... Appa said in a caustic tone.

I closed and opened my eyes. I took a deep breath to cool myself down.

Ippo sollunga amma eppo varuvanga.... I asked.

Nalaiku varen nu sonna. Edo surprise Vera vachurukalam.... Appa said.

Surprise ah... I asked confused.

Ama... Ennanu nalaiku thaa teriyum.... Appa said.

I sat there for sometime and went back to my room. I felt lonely...

I took out the photo frame in my hand...

I miss you Nithya... Why did you leave me..... I looked at the photo and asked. I have been asking this question since the day she left me but I'm not getting a reply. Every morning I wake up with a wish that her death should be a bad dream but her photo hanging on the wall of my room slaps the truth right on my face.

I lied on my bed hugging the photo frame to my chest.

Nithya.. Inaiku ennellam nadandhuchu teriyuma... I started narrating my whole day's incidents. It's my routine to share my daily happenings with her before I used to get a reply, laughter and teasing as a response but now it's all silence.

A lone tear left my eyes...... I wiped it and continued.

Nalaiku amma chennai la irundu tirumbi varanga edo surprise Vera iruku nu appa sonnar.... Ennanu thaan terila...... Avlothaan inaiku nadandhuchu.... I said looking at the photo. My Nithya was smiling in the photo. I hugged it tightly to my chest and cried silently.

Naanum strong ah iruka try panren Nithya but nee illama ennala apdi iruka mudila. Yen di enna vitu pona.... Ennala mudila di..... I kept the photo frame on the nightstand.

I took the sleeping pills bottle in my hand and had a pill from that.

Nee illama en thoogam Kooda Enna vitu poitu Nithya..... I said and lied on the bed facing the photo frame....

Good Night nithya.... Thirumba good night mamu nu solla matiya.....I closed my eyes realizing the reality and dozed off by the effect of the sleeping pills.

MORNING

I woke up early. These sleeping pills only help to sleep for 4 to 5 hours. As usual the first thing my eyes landed on is my nithya's photo.

Good morning nithya.... I said. My lips curved into a plain smile.

Every morning it was my Nithya who used to call me to wake me up but today, even If I want her to wake me up I can't get that. I can't hear that voice which keeps me lively throughout the day.

I did all my morning routine perfunctorily.

I went to the dining table and had my breakfast in silence. After few minutes appa also joined me for breakfast.

We both finished our breakfast and when we were about to leave the home. I saw amma's car entering the gate.

Appa's smile said how much he missed Amma. Amma got down with a bright smile.
