Parth's POV

Yesterday after I shouted at mom that I would not get married, she left my room without saying anything. I shouldn't have shouted at her in that way. But that was the only way to make her understand my point.

During dinner, Mom was very quiet, that was very unusual. And trust me, silent moms are very dangerous too. Like 'silence before the storm'. Everyday at dinner, she would ask me how was my day and we used to share everything. So I asked her what was wrong. Mom told me that we should go to Rameswaram to attend some funeral rituals as it had been one year since my dad died and she also wanted us to visit our relatives in her native village. So that was the reason she looked sad. I had no other choice but to obey her. I didn't want to disappoint her again.

So the next day we took the first flight to Tamil Nadu and reached Madurai airport. There we met up with a family who were waiting to receive us on the airport. On seeing them, Mom literally ran towards them leaving me behind. I scoffed at her childish behaviour. 'Where is her sadness now? Was that all her drama to make me say Yes to visit here?'

Anyways I am happy to see her like this after a long time. Mom was very enthusiastic, jovial and loaded with happiness type of person. But after we lost dad, she became numb, depressed, she was mourning in dad's death.

Their attention turned towards me as I reached them after collecting our luggages.

'Woah! There are so many luggages. She said that we are gonna stay here for only 2 or 3 days. But she literally packed all of her sarees in her wardrobe.'

"Vanakam pa. Epdi irukenga? " (Translation - Welcome! How are you?) a man in his early fifties asked me, folding his hands in a Namaste. Along with him, a lady in her later forties and also a girl may be around 16 or 17 are there. My mom embraced her in a tight hug, making her gasp for air.

I know he is talking in Tamil. But I have no idea about what he said. I furrowed my eyebrows in annoyance. But in return, I folded my hands in a Namaste too. That lady looked at me amused and said, "Vadhana, Parth evlo periya payana valanthitan la?"

"Nanga nalla irukom anna. Parth ku Tamil theriyathu. Adhan ipdi mulikiran. Nenga epdi irukenga?"(Translation - We are fine brother. Parth doesn't know Tamil. How are you?)

My mom also started to speak in Tamil which annoyed me to the core. I glanced at the girl to find her looking at me suspiciously, eyeing me from top to bottom. She turned away quickly as she noticed me looking at her.

My mom introduced them to me. That man's name is Raj Shekar and his wife name is Kalavadhy and that girl is their daughter and her name is Rudhya. And I came to know that the man is my dad's cousin brother.

After all that reunion drama, we went to Rameswaram in their car. We did all the rituals as the Pandit told. After that, we headed towards my parents native village. I sat in between Mom and Kalavathy aunty in the car which was the biggest mistake I had ever done in my whole life. They kept on talking, talking and talking about anything and everything. Well I can't even understand what they are talking about as they are speaking in Tamil.

'God. Cant they let their mouths take rest once?'

My earlobes are at the verge of bursting. I closed my eyes and leaned on my seat, trying to sleep as I am very tired from all traveling. I preferred to take a nap even though it would be uncomfortable between mom and her, but still it is better than getting tortured by their ranting.
