💖💖 His Chellama 💖💖

💖 52 💖

Everyone got down one by one when they reached their destination, stretching their hands and legs while yawning. It was still to dawn.

When others gasped looking at the authentic traditional palace, which would atleast have fifty rooms in it, Shruti frowned, seeing it.

Shr: why are we here?

She turned to Aakash, who was smiling at her. Before she could ask him anything, an old couple came out with aarthi plate and took aarti for Shruti and Aakash.

Sak: enna, paati ma, engalukellam aarthi illaiya? Athu seri neenga yen ivangaluku aarthi edukuringa?

Paati: pinna en pethiyum peranum modha modha avanga veetuku varanga. Aarthi edukama eppadi ulla vidurathu? Ungalukum eduthuta pochu.

She took aarthi for everyone. Everyone smiled. But Shruti was disturbed. She didn't wish to stay here. She glared at Aakash, remembering his surprise. But he just winked at her.

Thatha: ellarum ulla vaanga. Ungaluku room ellam ready panniyachu. Govindha, ivangaloda arai ellam ivangaluku kaatu.

Paati: poi konja neram thoongunga. Sapadu ellam naanga ready pannirom.

She cupped Shruti's cheeks with smile. Shruti smiled awkwardly and went inside hesitatingly. She glared at Aakash when he locked the room door.

Shr shouted: enna panni vachurukinga?!

Aak: shh! Kathatha di. Ippo enna prachanai unaku? Un thatha paati veedu thana?

Shr: naan ungakita sollirukana illaiya enaku relatives nu yaarum illanu? Appuram yen intha veetuku kootitu vanthu en manatha vaanguringa.

She was frustrated and face palmed irritatingly, walking to and fro.

Aak: enaku puriyala ithula manatha vaanga enna iruku? Unaku urimaiyana edathula nee stay panra. Athu onnum enaku thappa padalaye ma.

Shr: enaku paduthu, Aakash. En appa va mathikathavanga kooda naan eppadi iruka mudiyum?!

Aak: nee pathiya?

Shr: athunala than en amma appa enna inga yaar veetukum kootitu varala. Yen inga vantha kooda naanga just kovilku vanthutu poiduvom.

Aak: avangalam vendatha relatives nu un appa amma sonnangala, Shruti? You never know what did happen, right?

Shr: as if you know about my family. Ellam therinja mathiri pannathinga. Ungalukum ithukum samantham illa. Enaku inga iruka pidikala.

Aakash sighed.

Aak: sari vaa kelambalam.

Shr: vilayaduringala? Neengala inga kooptutu vanthutu ippo kelamba solringa.

Aak: paithiyama di nee? Neethana inga iruka pidikalana. Appuram naan enna pannatum?

Shr: enaku inga iruka pidikala than. But antha thatha paati rompa santhoshama irukangale. Avangala eppadi hurt pannitu porathu? Unga mela than enaku bayangara kovam varuthu.

Aak: naanum avangalukaga than inga vara samathichan. They weren't at mistake, Shruti. Why can't you believe me?

Shr: I believe you more than anything. But how could you believe them? You never know them.

Aak: even you never knew me at our first meet. Yet you trusted me and accepted to marry me. Life full ah kooda varavana kanna mooditu select panniruka. Already un life la irukavangaluku nee yen oru chance kuduka koodathu?

Shr: en amma appa sethapo kooda avanga yarun enakaga vanthu en kooda nikkala, Aakash. How do you expect me to be with them?

She cried, sitting on the bed, remembering her parents. She was more emotional.
