Chapter 7

Magizhini's Pov

(2 days before Indrajith left to Australia)

I was on my bed tossing and turning for a long time.

Ennada thookame varala......

I sat on the bed and looked around. Ipdiye irunda thookame varadu pesama konjam neram terrace la poi ninutu varalam..

Inaiku vera full moon. Evlo naazh full moon terrace la ninnu pathu rasikanum nu aasa paturupen. Orphanage la evening eh door and gate close paniruvanga so andha chance eh kedaikadu but inaiku vidakoodathu pathuranum.

I quickly got out of the bed and grabbed my shawl. I simply put it on me and opened my door.

Ennapa ore irutta iruku enna thavira Veetula irukura palli, cockroach ellam thoongirukum polaye.

I slowly took steps without making any noise and reached the terrace.

Ennada terrace door open la iruku.... Yarachum vandurpangala.... I slowly stepped out.

I saw a man standing with his back facing me with a alcohol bottle in his hand looking at the moon.

I recognized that person. It's Vaanathi ma's son. Indha nerathula enna panraru ivar inga...

Pesama namma room ke poiralam avar enna pathale moraiparu... Aprom adha nenachu naathan feel pannuven...

Enna ippo pathutu thane iruka Nithya..... I stopped hearing him talking to someone.

I turned and looked at him. He was staring at the moon and talking.

Eppovum enna pakumbodu siripiye adhe mathiri sirikuriya.... Don't you miss me Nithya.. But I do a lot. More than you can imagine. Ennadi avasaram unaku enna vitutu poga.. Ippo paaru enna suthi ellarum irundhum anadhai mathiri feel panren.......

That word pricked my heart. That tender heart of my hurts a lot .... I know how it feels. Tears gathered in my eyes.

I saw him gulping the alcohol bottle and putting the bottle away.

Anaiku nee veetuku vandu sedurunda Inneram nee aasa patta mathiri namaku Kalyanam aairukum..... You would have been Nithya Indrajith.... Unna epdi laam pathukanum nu aasa patten teriyuma... Un aasai ellam neraverthanum, unna ellarum poramai padura Mathiri pathukanum nu nenachan but I didn't get the chance........ He said..

I was crying silently....

Unaku teriyum unna evlo naa love panren nu. Nee, naa, namma family nu  happy ah irukanum nu aasa patten...... Ellam kanava pochu..... He said.

Idhuku mela ennala iruka mudiyum nu thonala Nithya naanum unkittaye varen Nithya. Thanimai la moonju muttura mathiri iruku.... He said. My eyes bulged in shock. Is he talking about committing suicide.

I stood there listening to his words without his notice.

I saw him reaching the edge of the terrace wall.

Aiyoo vendam... I screamed and ran to him. Without wasting a second I grabbed his hand and pulled him down.

I couldn't handle his weight in this drunken state.

I put my hands around his waist and balanced him. I took a deep breath but my breath hitched when he hugged me tightly. Which feels like almost breaking my bones.

Nithya... Vandutiya di.... He slurred . My body stiffened when he buried his face in my neck.

My body shivered a little when his hit breath hit my neck.... I felt something different that second....
