Magizhini

Chapter 16

Magizhini's Pov

I woke up when heard my alarm ringing....

I turned it off and got out of my bed. I went infront of the mirror and start singing.

Happy birthday di magizhini..... I said looking at my reflection in the mirror.

Nee aasa pattadhu ellam kedaikanum, sandhoshama irukanum, yaarayum kastham paduthama vazhanum, suthi irukuravangala happy yah vachukanum, mudinja vara mathavangazhuku help pannanum..... I said to myself. It's my motto...

I quickly grabbed my essentials and went to the bathroom. I hanged my clothes, brushed my teeth and opened the shower.  I took a neat bath . I wrapped a towel around me and went to the mirror.

Azhga iruka magizh. Eppovum sirichute happy ah irukanum....

My eyes landed on the bruise on my inner arm on my left arm....his face into my mind.

Kizhzhi vachutu oru vaarthai sorry ketangala illave illa.... Avaruku no cake. Magizh thaan full cake sapda pora... Vandutan enna kizhzuraduke Australia la irundu.... I murmured and went out.

I took the new half saree Vaanathi ma bought for me.... I wore it and tied my hair by taking some hair behind my ears and clipping it together with a clip. I put on my bindi. I looked at the time 5.30 am. I went to Vaanathi ma's room.

We have decided to visit the temple earlier.

Before I could knock on the door. The door flung open. Before I could open my mouth.

Magizh uzhzha vaa.... Vaanathi ma said.

With a smile I went inside.

Paarunga birthday baby is here.... Vaanathi ma said to Krishna uncle.
He is also dressed up in veshti and shirt..

I blushed hearing the way she called me.

Happy birthday di thangam..... She said and kissed me on my forehead. My eyes started welling up.

Aiyoo birthday adhuvuma dam thirakadha magizh ma inaiku.... Krishna uncle teased me.

Uncle.... I whined.

Happy birthday ma.. He wished me.

Thank you uncle... Rendu verum aasirvatham panunga..... I took blessing from them. They blessed me.

Vaanathi kovil ku seekrama poitu vanga naa orphanage pora velaya paakuren..... He said.

Ok nga naa poitu varen... Vaa magizh polam..... She asked.

Ok uncle poitu varom.... I told him and we went to the parking lot.

We got in the car and Vaanathi ma drove the car today because driver anna will come here at 8.30...

We went to the temple.

We washed our legs and went inside. A feeling of peace. Whenever I enter the temple I feel lighthearted......

Vaanathi ma gave the poojai thattu to the priest. In mumbai the temple will look little different... Especially the construction....

Nee aasa pattadu ellam vendiko.... Vaanathi ma said. I nodded my head and clasped my hands together.

Kadavule,  thanks, last year orphanage vitu enga poradhunu irunden you gave me a good life. Nalla sapadu, poduradhuku nalla dress, stay panraduku nalla edam aprom anba pathuka Vaanathi ma and Krishna Uncle ellam kuduthaduku thanks. Aprom.. Umm... ellarum happy ah irukanum. Enaku oru happy life venum, en anba pathukura Family avlo thaan venum..... I opened my eyes and looked at Vaanathi ma.
