36. His Angry Bird 😠🕊️

Ashwin: Pesu di nan than sorry solran la. Nee than vd call kooda attend panna maatra.

Sivu: nee enna kazhati vituta thana.

Ashwin: Hey papa enna di pesura?

Hearing her soft sobs tugged at his heart. Guilt washed over him as he realized how distant he had been for the past few months, caught up with the case in Trichy. Now, though he had been transferred to Chennai, he still hadn’t revealed his return to his wife. Only their parents knew, and they had visited him once, keeping his secret.

Ashwin: Sorry di.. thangamey pls di…vairamey..

Sivu: May um illa June um illa. Nee phone vai.

Ashwin: Nan ipa free ah iruken di.

Sivu: nan busy ah iruken.

Ashwin: kozhupu. Iru unna paathaudane kozhi ah uruchi kolambu vekren.

Sivu: epo varuvinga? She asked in a longingness

Ashwin: Varen da ma.

Sivu: Athukulaye, enaku job location vanthidum chennai le. Nee varave vena. Angaye iru.

Ashwin mv: chennai le ya. Aaha..super eh.

Ashwin: Seri di chellam. Nee vaa. Nan veedu lam paathu vekren.

Sivu: Po enaku vena. Nan hostel la thangikuren.

Ashwin let out a soft chuckle, but quickly ended the call as someone approached him, seeking his attention regarding the case..

*****
In Chennai, she arrived in a car sent by her in-laws, the driver at the wheel. He gently dropped her off in front of the house before quietly making his way back..

Sivu: veetla moonu maasam kooda onna illa. Athukulla ipadi loosu Avan…Avan oru loosu. Avana kattikitta na oru loosu.

Suddenly security welcomed her.

Sivu: Madam lam vena na. Per solliye koopidunga. Enna theryumo?

Security: Ha…Ashwin sir sonaru ma. Inthaga key. Irunga nan bag eduthu varen.

He placed the bags in front of the door and quietly stepped aside. As she unlocked the door, she shot a sharp glare at Ashwin, her expression fiery. Dragging her luggage inside, she tilted her head from side to side, finally locking her teary eyes on her husband. Her eyes shimmered with unshed tears, but her nose flushed red with anger.

Ashwin couldn’t help but laugh at the sight of her reddened nose..

Ashwin: Hey angry bird. Romba naal kalichi vanthirkinge pola. Nose red ah iruke.

She rushed towards him, hitting his chest in frustration, but he effortlessly lifted her, his hands resting on the back of her thighs. Their foreheads pressed together, and her tears spilled onto his face. Gently, he placed her feet on top of his, drawing her closer as he wrapped his arms around her shoulders and lower waist, pulling her into his chest. He buried his face in her neck, inhaling the familiar, soothing fragrance.

Pulling back, he sat down on the couch with her perched on his lap. Tenderly, he wiped her tears, his thumb caressing her cheeks, while his palms moved gently over her back, calming her..

Sivu: Thookam varuthu.

Ash: athana…purushana romba naal kalichi paathom eh konjam aasaya pesalam nu lam illa.

Sivu gave a small shrug, and without a word, he locked the door and gently carried her to their room, which he had transformed to resemble his own. Laying her on top of him, he began to softly narrate how he had come to Chennai and shared details of his work, all while tenderly running his fingers through her hair. Before long, she drifted off to sleep.
