Shivika was sitting in the living room watching TV.

Ashok came home.

Shivika - Thambiyaa pathachaa..
Ashok - Mm. Namaa veliyaa poogalamaa..
Shivika - enaku tried ha iruku vera oru naal poogalamay.

Ashok - ivalo azhgaanaa wife ha vetala thaniya vitutu enaku poogaa thonalaa.

Shivika looked at him from up and down.

Ashok  - ena pakura..

Shivika opened her hand and gestured him to hug her.

Ashok smiled and came to her embrace.

Shivika  - Mmm.

She moaned in  satisfaction.

Ashok - Enaa.
Shivika - onumilaa..

They lied on the bed and he was in her embrace.
He inhaled her deeply.

Ashok - you smell like home.
Shivika - Haan haan haan.
Ashok - You know something.
Shivik- Hmm.
Ashok - I called this place as a house until your arrival.
Shivika - Ipo.
Ashok - Home. I feel like home becoz of your presence.
Shivika smiled and caressed his hair.

After sometime Shivika felt wetness in her maxi. As it was cotton she could feel is easily.

Shivika - ashok..ashok. look at me.

Ashok hugged her more.

Shivika - ennachu enaa parunga.

He shook his head.

Ashok - It's been ages since I felt this peace. Amma irundha apo dhaan na indha comfort and peace ha feel pannen.

Shivika teared hearing him. She hugged him tightly.

Shivika - wife ippadi irukanga nu therinjuma unga appa avangalaa gavanikalaa..
Ashok - Ilaa.. oruvelaa gavanichu irundhaa she would have been with us now.

Shivika rubbed his back and kissed his head. Ashok was weeping and she didn't loosen her hold on him.

They lied in the same position and Ashok slept without his knowledge. Shivika didn't sleep and loosen her hold. She was caressing his head and looking at the ceiling.
