Lost love

Confusion and Complication!!!

Ajay stumbled as he reached the side of the outhouse through the garden, “Ammeee!! Oh…kallaa?? Entha madayan Inga ivlo periya Kalla konduvandu potathu?”, he murmured.

“Athu nantha!!”

He whipped his head around and found a young girl dressed in a salwar, looking at him up and down. She frowned at him angrily, “Yaar neenga? Inga epdi vandeenga? Thottathula irundu varreenga? Inga enna panreenga?”

Ajay took a second to understand her as she rapidly fired questions at him. Seeing him hesitate, she continued, “Aalum sari illa… muzhiyum sari illa…thiruthiru nu muzhichtu nikreenga? Enna thiruda vandeengala? Ipolam night la ivlo early a ve thiruttu nadakkuma enna? Aalunga thoonga kooda illa…endha thairyathula ipdi sevar eri kudichu thiruda vandeenga?”

Ajay held his palms up, “Ayyayyoo..yenga… enna ennennamo solreenga?”

“Aahn…pinna thiruda varravangalukku arathi eduthu indhanga panam indhanga nagai nu thooki kudupangalaa? Aal theriyama vandu neeye maatna”, she turned around shouting, “Akkaaaaa!!! Akkaaa!! Inga odi vaaaa!! Akkkkkaaa!! Thirudan vandirkan!!”

Ajay, panicking, rushed towards her, “Ayyayyooo…Kathadeenga. Naane engappan ta irundhu olinju olinju indha vazhiya vanden..”

She turned to face him again, and seeing that he had stepped closer, pounced on him and held his collar, “Oh…olinju thiruttu thanama ulla vandhadha nee solli vera kaatriya? Inniku unaku vilura udhai la jenmathukkum thirudra ninape vara koodathu…Akkkkkaaaa!!!”

“Ayyoo….ivlo kathureenga? Enga andha akkaaa? Innuma varala? Satham ketu engappan vandra poran…yakkov!! Enga iruka? Modalla vaa!!” Ajay exclaimed.

“Ei….enna nakkala? Chinna ponnu thane nu elakarama irukka unaku?”, yamuna asked. 

“Ayyo yamuna!! Ennadi panra? Vidri avara!”, kaveri was utterly shocked by the scene.

“Akka!! Evlo thimiru irundha Ivan thiruda vantu nakkala pesran ka!!”, yamuna complained.

“Ayyooo…modalla avaru collar la irundu Kai edu..avaru onnu thiruda varala”,kaveri explained.

“Ennakka solra? Unakku ivara theriyuma?”, yamuna hastily left his collar and moved back.

“Anni…enna thirudan nu ninachtanga!!”, Ajay whined.

“Sorry nga..Ava chinna ponnu…edho theryama panta…adhu Vera onnumilla..unga muzhiye oru type a irkaa?? Athan Ava konjam confuse aita..”, kaveri mocked him.

“Annii…neengaluma? En paarvaiye apditha… ella engappa oda gene… thiruttu muzhi oda porandutten…naa enna panna?”, Ajay sulked.

“Seriii…seriii…vidunga..enna indha pakkam?”, kaveri asked him.

But before he could answer, yamuna pulled kaveri’s sleeve and whispered to her, “Yaarukka ivaru? Unna anni nu koopdraaru?”

Ajay answered her, “Na Vijay Annan oda thambi nga..avaroda chithi paiyan..innikutha oor la irundu vanden. Anni family a meet panlamenu vanden. Adukulla neengatha thappa ninachuteenga..”

Yamuna bit her tongue, “Ayyayyo…sorry nga. Very sorry.. neenga thideernu garden la irundhu vandeengala…athan na bayandu poi..sorry nga!”

“Edhu? Bayandu poi ya? Bayandaduke egiri vandu sattaiya pudichteenga? Apo kovam Vanda aalaye gaali pannirveenga pola…”, Ajay teased her.

Yamuna blushed in embarrassment and kaveri laughed. 

“Vanga Ajay…ulla vanga!!”, kaveri invited him in. And Ajay met Paati and Ganga, since kumaran and Saradha Amma were with Narmadha at the hospital. He introduced himself to them and inquired after Narmadha’s health. He then spent some time simply getting to know them, impressing everyone with his energetic spirit and childish vivaciousness. Kaveri and Ajay carried forward the conversation with ease, their banters and laughter filling the little house with much-needed joy. As he left, kaveri went out with him to send him away even though he literally lived in the same compound.
