“The best gift we can give someone isn’t something fancy or expensive, it is our love and care.”
Raghav and Malini and loved each other that every time there was some insecurity or thought of feeling down, they stood up or each other and embraced with love. Being the mature person Raghav never let his cool down when Malini could confront him about her insecurities and sometimes she being clumsy. Malini stood by him and never troubled him when he couldn’t make his time for her. They loved with each other with their flaws.
Raghav’s mobile was ringing non-stop from his staffs but he was very busy running hands on his wife’s waist as he pressed her against the door kissing her lips ravishing it. Malini hit his chest as he knocked her out of air. He pulled back and looked at her panting and chuckled. He pressed his lips on her forehead. She took long breathe to stabilize and looked at him.
Malini: I told you to leave for office but what are you doing and your mobile has been ringing non-stop.
Raghav: Let it be. I will check later. My wife has given me time after 5 days so what a man I am to ignore her and take my calls.
Malini: Podhum podhum. Office kelambu. ( enough enough)
Raghav: Already rendu chance miss ayiduchu ippo kooda sollu timing morning illana afternoon change pannidalam. ( we already missed two chances so tell me and we shall change the time to morning or afternoon )
Malini: No way. Office po. I need to accompany Krithi anni to the mall. Avanga Sarath anna birthday ku gift vaanganum sonnanga. So neeyum office poitu vaa. ( No way, go to office and I need to accompany Krithi sista to mall. She wants to buy some gift for him)
Raghav: Seri ok. Saree kati ready ah iru nu solla kooda bayama irukku di. Therumbavum yedhachum vandhu plan spoil ayidum nu. ( ok, I m scared to even tell you to be ready in saree. that something might come up and spoil our plan )
Malini: Nothing will fail. ippo nalla paiyana office poitu varuviyam, nanum nee sonna mathiri saree katti ready ah irupenam. ( Nothing will fail. Now be a good boy and go to office and I will be ready in saree like you wanted me to be )
He hugged her snuggled in crook of her neck and kissed her nape before letting her go. He drove to office and gave his full on work. Malini and Krithi took a cab and reached the mall. They were busy selecting shirt for Sarath and finally after their purchase tey rpamed around the mall and settled in a restaurant to have food. When Malini’s eye fell on a person who looked familiar but as the person was a little far Malini couldn’t look at ther person’s face but her expression turned to a shock when she was the person walking towards the same restaurant. She stood and moved infront of that person.
Raghav was moving towards the pantry to get a coffee for him when his mobile rang. He took out and the caller id brought a smile on his face. He slid the green arrow and spoke to Malini
Raghav: Enna Malini shopping mudinjudha ? ( what Malini, is your shopping over ?)
Malini: Raghav can you come home now?
Raghav: Ennadi plan mathitiya. Day time vena sonne ippo vara solre. yen unakke thonucha indha vattiyum yedhavum spoil agum nu? ( What girl, you changed your mind is it ? You said no for day time but now seems like you too felt that something might spoil our plan )
Malini: Raghav konjam veetukku vaa nerla pesalam ( Raghav come home and we will talk in person)
Raghav: Yedhuvum problem ah? ( any problem ?)
Malini: Problem la illa but nee vaa (not a problem but you come over )
Raghav : Seri varen. ( ok I will come )
Raghav left from his office and drove back to home. As soon as he reached Malini pulled him to their room and locked the door.
Raghav: Adipavi ivlo avasarama idhukku dhan sonnen innaikku office leave podren nu kettiya (You are in such hurry ? This is why I said I will take leave from work today )
Malini: Loosu Raghav medhuva pesu ( Crazy Raghav talk in a low voice )
Raghav: Yen yaarukku kekka pogudhu? ( Why . Who will hear us ?)
Malini: hmmm yen akka ku ( my sister will )
Raghav: Avalukku eppadi kekkum? ( how will she hear ?)
Malini: Namma veetla irundha kekkum ( If she is in our home then she will hear )
Raghav blinked at her if she was joking but her serious face made him realize that she wasn’t joking.
Raghav: Eppadi vandha? ( how did she come ?)
Malini: I saw her in mall. Now she is in the other room of our home.
Raghav: other room ?
Malini: with her husband
Raghav: Enna solre? ( What are you saying ?)
Malini: She had been love it seems and didn’t want to marry Ajay. Infact Ajay came to know about her love and he took her that night and got married to her lover.
Raghav: Ajay enga? ( Where is Ajay ?)
Malini: He is in Saudi it seems and in touch with Keerthy too.
Raghav: Ohh appo rendu perukkum namma yarum nyabagam varala. Namma eppadi pona enna nu irundhangalama? ( ohh, so both did not have our thoughts. Did they even care for us or ignored us ?)
Malini: Raghav please sathama pesadha. ( Raghav please don’t raise your voice )
Raghav: Ennadi solra ( What are you even saying ?). Did you even forgot how our parents stood ashamed that day ?
Malini: But avanga panna thappula oru nalladhum nadandhuche. I got you forever in my life. ( But a good thing happened because of that. I got you in my life )
She cupped his cheeks in her hand.
Malini: Whatever they did was wrong I don’t deny it but sometimes we need let go of our bitter past to cherish the future.
Raghav: Saudi la enna panranam ? ( What is he doing in Saudi ?)
Malini: He is working as a consultant it seems and also found some one there for his life.
Raghav: Ohh appo sir ippo kood yarukkum theriyama kalyanam panni settle agura idea la dhan irukaru pola. ( ohh even now sir is planning to get married and settled without any of us let know about it ?)
Malini: please listen. He doesn’ t have any such idea. He wanted to get back immediately but they came to know about our marriage and felt guilt that they got our life into mess because of them.
Raghav: Seri ippo enna pannanum? (ok, what should I do now ?)
Malini hugged him and laid her face on his chest.
Malini: Let us give them a chance to be with us after all they are our family and she is pregnant.
Raghav: What ?
Malini: Yes three months pregnant.
Raghav: Avan avan first night eh nadakkama irukkan. Naa sollala namakku first night kum romba dhooram pola. ( Here people couldn’t have a wedding night. Didn’t I say that its too far for us to think about wedding night ?)
Malini’s face fell immediately and she lowered her eyes as tears rolled her cheeks. He wiped her tears and hugged her.
Raghav: Seri vidu paathukalam lets us not think about it anymore. I know neeyum evlo aasaiya irundhe nu like me. kadavul setting pannuvaru pathukalam ippo un akka va paakka polam vaa.
( fine let it go and let us not think about it anymore. I know you were also having so many wishes like me. God, will plan for us so now let us go and meet your sister )
Malini: Ajay contact number vaangi avarayum vara sollu. I will call amma , appa lam. ( Get ajay’s number and call him too. I will our parents )
Raghav sighed and rubbed his nape. Malini pulled his face down and pecked his forehead before walking out of the room. As they stepped out Raghav saw Keerthy and her husband sitting in the couch and they stood immediately when Raghav entered the hall.
Keerthy: Raghav I m sorry.. I know my sorry can’t set right whatever mess happened because of me but still please forgive me. I had loved vettri for a long time and didn’t have courage to tell anyone. Ajay did help us.
Vettri: Soory nga. Naanga edutha late decision nala neraya problems vadhuduchu. ( Sorry, because we of our late decision you had face so many problems )
Keerthy: Infact naanga pona apram unga rendu perukkum marriage pannuvanga nu nanum Ajayum expect pannave illa. Everything happened hastily and we couldn’t face anybody after that.
( Infact after we never thought that they will get you both married after we left from there. Everything happened hastily and we couldn’t face anybody after that.)
Raghav: You can stop worrying about us. We are more happy than anybody in our life. If you are happy and safe in your life that should be fine and can you give me Ajay’s contact details or can you call him here?
Keerthy: I spoke to him already. He will come tomorrow.
Malini came to them and informed that their parents will also reach by the next day morning.
Raghav: Did you both have lunch ?
Keerthy: Yes we had. before coming here.
Raghav: Malu nee saptiya ? ( Malu, did you eat ?)
Malini: illa pa but I m not hungry. ( No, but i m not hungry )
Raghav:Won’t you have food on time. I will order for both us even I didn’t have.
Raghav moved to his room and ordered lunch for them. Malini said Keerthy to rest for sometime and returned to Raghav and sat on his lap.
Malini: Raghav en mela kovam illaye? ( Raghav, you are not upset with me right ?)
Raghav: Nee ennama panne? Idhula un thappu enna irukku ? Vidu ellam seri agidum. Ajay vandha param un akka ajay rendu perayum thaniya paathu thanks sollanum
( What did you ? You did no wrong in this. Leave it, everything will be fine. Once Ajay is here we will meet ajay and your sister alone and thank them )
Malini: Why ?
Raghav: Namma marriage ku karanam avanga thane. illana ippadi oru azhgana pondati enakku kedahi irupala. ( they are the reason for us to get married. else would have I got a beautiful wife like you ?)
Malini: Oii avanga kadhula vizha pogudhu summa iru pa ( Hey they might hear us keep quite)
Raghav: Idhukku mela enna di naa summa irukradhu. Enna patha unakku pavama illaya. Ippolam curd rice kooda thara mattengure. Atleast pesavachum vidriya adhuvum illa.
(What more should be quite ? Are you not feeling pity looking at me. Recently you won’t even give me curd rice too. Atleast are we having time for conversation. no not that too)
Malini: Nee konjam ketta paiyana irundhu marriage annaike first night complete panni irukkanum. Nee romba over nallavana irukke. ( You should have been a bad boy and consummated our marriage on the first day of our marriage but you turned out be so good boy )
Raghav: Ippo ellam pesu. ( You say everything now )
They stopped talking when there was a knock on their door. Malini stood up and opened the door to see Keerthy standing.
Malini: Enna Keerthy ? ( What is it Keerthy ?)
Keerthy: Food delivery vandhuduchu. Neenga sapdunga. ( Food is delivered. You both should eat )
Malini: hmm ok
Malini signalled Raghav to come over and moved to the dining and took plates to have food. Raghav changed into his tracks and had had lunch with Malini.
By evening Raghav’s friends came and met Keerthy and her husband. After spending some time they left to their home. Malini and Raghav moved to kitchen and prepare dinner. Raghav cooked while Malini helped him. After dinner Raghav and Vettri went to the park for walk adn Raghav came to know more about Vettri and his family had already accepted Keerthy. They were settled in Pune and ad came to bangalore for his friend’s wedding.
Malini spoke to their parents and confirmed that they started their traveland would reach bangalore early morning. Though Malini knew their parent’s knd nature she was still scared on thinking of their reaction when they meet Keerthy and Ajay.
Keerthy was feeling extremely nervous and was scared each passing hour and she couldn’t even sleep. Vettri consoled her that he could speak to her parents still she could sette her racing heart.
Raghav and Malini sat in the balcony as they could also not sleep thinking of the consequences.
What will happen to Raghav and Malini’s marriage?
Will Keerthy’s presence back in family make an impact on Malini’s life?
