Emotional chapter ahead

Into the story...

During night sivaangi had stomach pain and she woke up from her sleep. She understood that it was first day of her periods. She immediately got up changed her pad and checked for any stain. She came and lied down beside Ashwin. She had immense stomach pain and was not able to sleep. Sensing her movements Ashwin woke up. He saw her lying down keeping a pillow close to her stomach. He understood the problem. He got up from bed...

Sivaangi: sorry Ashwiney... Un thookatha kalachitte la...
(Sorry ashwineymmm I disturbed your sleep, right?)

Ashwin: appidi ethum illa... Unakk vayiru valikkutha...
(Nothing like that... are you having stomach pain)

Sivaangi: ama Ashwiney... Romba valikkuth...
(Yes Ashwiney... its paining a lot)

Ashwin: sari nee iru naan vendhayam kond vare... Hot bag um kond vare
(Okay.. you stay here.... I'll get you Fenugreek and hotbag)

Sivaangi: vena pa... Neenga thoongunga... Naan ipdiye padukkure... Ath thanna koranjirum...
(No need... you can sleep... I'll lie like this.. it will subside on its own)

Ashwin: athellam koraya matte nu enakk nallave theriyum.. nee padu naan ippo vare
(I know it won't decrease... you lie down.. I'll come)

Ashwin went down to kitchen, prepared vendhayam water for her and also heated water and prepared hot bag.

Then he went upstairs made sivaangi have it and gave her the hot bag...

She placed that near abdomen... It was quite relieving... Still some pain was there...

Sivaangi: neenga thoongunga Ashwin enakk ippo konjam paravalla... Naan thoongikiren...
(You can sleep Ashwin... I'm feeling better... I'll sleep)

Ashwin finally slept... Sometime later Sivaangi also slept...

Morning sivaangi did not wake up as she had slept very late. Ashwin slowly got up freshened up and went down without disturbing Sivaangi. He went down and saw his mother preparing coffee...

Am: Ashwin sivaangi yenga... Ava usually intha time le enthirippale..
(Ashwin... where's Sivaangi... she usually gets up by this time right?)

Ashwin: amma.. avalukk periods ma... Romba mudiyala.. night stomach pain irunthath...
(Amma... she is having her periods... she is not at all well... she was having stomach pain all through night)

Am: paavam pulla.. naa vendhayam kudukkure... Nee avalukk kodukkuriya....
(Oh.... I'll give you Fenugreek.. will you give it to her)

Ashwin: naan neth night vendhayam apparam hot bag koduthen... Ippo thoongura... Ethuva irunthaalum ava enthirichathukk apparam paathukalam.
(I gave her Fenugreek and hot bag yesterday night itself. Now she is sleeping. We'll see if she need anything after she wakes up)

Am: sari pa..
