Flabbergasted
After kathir sorted things in the kitchen, he looked at Mullai who was admiring him...
Vaa polam...he called her to the hall....
They moved over to the hall and settled down on the floor.
While she was about to sit, she remembered what Lamma said...
M: eanga ivala vaangikonga... Naan idho vandhurrean..
K: enga pora...ippa dhaanae vandhom
M: pidingalean..vandhurrean
He tried to stand up ...up for the game??... Before he could pull himself....
Apdiyae irunga....
K: ean...
M: Nalla okkarunga..soldrean
K: wondered why...
M: she pulled the baby from her shoulder and made her lie on kathir's lap...
K: he was a little disappointed....
M: she looked at him... She knew what he was upto when he tried to stand...
K: he put up an angry face....😠😔
M: she admired his fake anger and his antics..
Mindvoice: Ivughala pakave azhaga iruku ...Andha mogatha vechukaradha paaru...chinna pullayaatam...
A mischievous idea striked her...but she felt a lil reluctant...
M: she sat on the floor, not fully...with the support of her legs when she laid the baby...then she was face to face with him as her back became straight...
Iva ezhundha pasila..kovam vandhura pogudhunu...poi cerelac eduthutu varalamnu paatha...
Inga oru pulla kochukittu mogatha thookivechiruku pola...??? She smiled....
K: he gave a smirky look...wasn't convinced.....didn't smile back
M: Eanga Neeram aachuna kashtam adhaan naane avala unga madila vittean...
Irunga vandhurrean...she turned and tried to stand up... Half way through...she made up her mind... turned around and came back to her half sitting position..face to face with him...
Heart thudding...but this time she felt mustered...
She pinched either sides of his cheeks with her hands...
M: rendu perum chamatha irupeengalam... Naan seekiram vandhuruveana....
She held his cheeks and shook them as she uttered the above words to convince her, disappointed baby😝
he didn't anticipate this from her...😲
They kept surprising each other...that evening!!
Who wouldn't fall for such cute antics...
As she removed her hands...she wasn't sure how she felt...she felt shy ..or rather more embarrassed...
She did it momentarily breaking all inhibitions ..but wasn't sure how he would take it....
K: he inturn felt frozen...and as she removed her hands...he slowly got back to his senses....and smiled at her...
M: she felt relieved and quickly moved over to the kitchen... Blushing all the way....
And he blushed hard too sitting in the hallway
He was not the kind of person who would fake an anger, be playfull and mischievous ....
he had no clue, how did he become one??.
With Mullai around he is more than just himself.!!
Built through those years... of what's called a shield....he had been wearing it around himself.... owing to their family situation and those circumstances that made him tough and responsible....had hardened over time.
That's exactly why it was challenging for him to shell out..
he had not explored the softer aspects of life...not much...
What felt like fake and made up....even to talk what he feels..put them out in words....and those silly acts...
now seems meaningful and is happening naturally to him ...melting the sheild to the core.
he responds to them casually and has accepted it in its true form...well...he is swamped in love.
Life is strange what feels odd at one point in time may seem otherwise at a later point and vice versa.
All is fair in love and war... So is Kathir's stature now...!!
He looks at his own self and is in awe.
Mullai returned with the baby food and other supplements.
She placed them on the floor and sat near the opposite pillar....
She was surprised to see, the baby was wide awake...
M: ennanga ezhundhutaala...
K: had no clue what was happening around... not even in his lap..
He was amused...
Mindvoice: Edhu ezhundhutaala..
He smiles and keeps his finger near his eyebrow....to make up for the miss.
She didn't notice...she was looking at the baby....
M: ennanga....apdiyae bommaiyatam..paduthiruka... Silent ah...
Oru soundum kanum
K: therla...ippa dhaane ezhundha...
The baby was just blinking and lying...kinda tired ...being out of sleep...
She placed her fingers over her mouth and was looking at Kathir...
M: eanga ..ungala pathu azhala... paravallayae nga
K: Adhaan therla...Nalla Vela azhala
The baby is so used to his body heat by now ..she didn't feel, he is an outsider...
The baby was comfortable with kathir and curled cozily in his lap.
Mullai looked at the baby and was not sure ..if she was hungry...
She was confused if she needs to feed the baby or wait till she shows some signs ..
K: ean apdi avalayae pakara??
M: ahhnnn...adhu.. ippovae sapda kudukalama illa...konjam nera wait panni kudukalama... Ennanu purila..
K: adhuku avalayae patha..badhil theriyuma
M: theriyadha Enna..
K: nee dhaan sollanum...
M: theriyum nga... Kozhandhainga pasi vandha kaiya mogathula vechupaanga.. illa sangatama mogatha vechukuvaanga...
Munnamae vayaru gaali ya irundhuchu illa.. apdi irukum...Adhaan pathutu irukean..
K: paravallayae...nerayavae therinju vechiruka..
M: Haan...Adhaan sonenae nga...Amma solluvahanu...
Eanga avala konjam keezha vidunga..
K: mmm..idho vidarean....
He lifted the baby from his lap and let her sit on the floor...
She picked some toys and gave it to the baby... The baby started playing with the toy.. and slowly started moving around the hall...going behind the toy...
Kathir and Mullai were sitting and watching the baby for a while...
The baby then stopped playing and started scratching her face and showed signs of crankiness....made some sounds ....geez booz and jeez .
M: ennada kutty...pasikudha... Sapdaraya...
The baby waved around and made some actions.... She wasn't sure if it was wise to delay further....so she decided to feed the baby
M: eanga....ivala apdiyae paathukonga...nagandhu poi engayadhu idichuka pora.. naan idho cerelac kalakarean..
K: naan pathukarean...
She moved to the table and prepared the food...
Meanwhile kathir tried to converse with the baby who was constantly dropping a toy..
K: Enna aachu kizha vizhundhuducha..nan eduthu tharatuma...
Indhanga vilayadunga...
The baby found fun in dropping it again...
K: achachooooo thirumbavum vizhundhuducha... Indhanga pidinga...
She laughed and got the toy.... And it became a fun game between them dropping ..looking at him... Him asking...if he can pick...and handing over...repeat..
This went on repeatedly for about a few minutes....
Kathir turned a baby himself...playing with her.... While Mullai enjoyed the sight of him playing with the baby...a rare side of him
She couldn't believe he could get along and get to the level of the little one to give company and play with her... though she has been seeing a sea of changes in him.. this was flabbergasting.
Her new found joy seemed immeasurable and she is delighted about this side of him..
She had been asking him if he likes kids... indirectly...quite directly...many times...hoping to know his whims and fancies...and to fantasize how he would take care of their kids in future...
She prepared the food..but stood there citing this beautiful game that went on...
They seemed to be in their own world and Mullai looking at them, ported herself to her favourite trance.👨👩👧👦
