Chapter 4

Magizhini's Pov

I woke up and looked at the time. It's 5 am. I woke at my routine time. I got out of the bed and opened the blinds.

Indha padathula heroines la ipdi panrapo indha feelings epdi irukumnu yosipen nalla thaan iruku...

I opened the bag I brought with me and took an old  chudidar and inners. I quickly brushed my teeth and took a shower. I wore that old chudidar of mine.

I looked at myself in the mirror. I didn't feel inferior about the clothes I wore because there are so many people out there living even without basic needs. In that case I'm very lucky.

I took out a bindi and placed it on my forehead. I looked at myself in the mirror. Azhaga iruku magizh.... I said to myself. I looked at the time its 5.30 am.

Usually in the orphanage either I spend my morning time with Sundari madam or with kitchen akka but I don't know about the habits of Vaanathi ma.

I don't know whether she is awake or not. So konjam neram ingaye irupom..

I walked around the room and I saw the interior and how the closet is opened and closed . Loosu Mathiri thaan teriyum enna paatha but vera enna panradhuku...

I got tired of looking around. I looked at the time it showed 6am. Idhuka mela inga iruka mudiyadu so kezha poiralam.

I wore my shawl and started stepping on the steps.

Magizh endrichutiya... Innum konjam neram thoongirukalame..... Vaanathi ma asked.

Good morning ma.. Adhu orphanage la seekram endrichu pazhagiruchu adan adhe time la ezhunduten... I said with a time.

Sari vaa namma poi tea potu kudichitu breakfast pannalam. Help pannuve thane.... Vaanathi ma asked.

Achcho ma enaku romba bore adikudu neega enaku vela kudukati naane edachum vela senjurupen...I said.

Vaanathi ma ruffled my hair and we went to the kitchen...

There was an old lady already sweeping the kitchen floor.

Suja eppo vande... Vaanathi ma asked.

Ippo thaan amma... Vanden.... Suja paati replied with her eyes still on me.

Yaaru ma idhu pudusa velaiku vanduruka papa..... Suja paati asked looking at me from top to bottom.

I was offended by that comment still I understood why she asked like that.

Adellam illa enaku romba venda patta ponnu. Inime inga thaa irupa... Vaanathi ma said but With a change in her tone. An angry one.

Manichurunga ma... Pazhaya dress poturuka papa adan velaiku vanduruko nu nenachen.... Suja paati said.

Sari vidu inimel paathu pesu Suja adhutavanga manasu kastham padum la.... Vaanathi said in a caring tone.

Sari ma... Naa samaikava illa neega samaikuringala....Suja paati asked.

Naane panren nee thotathula poi chediku thanni vidunga..... Vaanathi ma said.

Once Suja paati went out Vaanathi ma came to me and held my hands.

Feel pannada magizh... Avanga nee yaarunu teriyama pesitanga... Vaanathi said.

Achcho paravala ma idhukellam naa yen feel panna poren. Naa poturuka dress pathu thane apdi sonna paravala ma.... I replied politely.

Naane yosichutu irunden unna kootitu shopping ponum nu...appo unaku theva pattadu ellam vangalam..... Vaanathi ma said.

Aiyoo adellam venam ma yeduku theva illadha selavu..... I denied.
