Nithya took her shower.She changed into her comfortable clothes and straightly laid down on the bed.Ashok who already had his shower was standing beside the bed.His hands were on his waist.

She turned to him and saw him cluelessly.
'Enna Ashok ey?Vandhu thoongunga..',she said.
'Thoonguradha?Paati enna sonannanganu ketella..',he said with a mischievous smile.

'Enna sonnanga?Ungala peru solli koopda venaamnu sonnanga,pesaama sapda sonnangaa...vera enna?',she asked.

'Unaku nyabagam illaya nejama?',he asked raising his eyebrows.
'Nejamave illa Ashok ey...enna sonnanga?',she asked with yawn.

'Seekrama oru kollu peranoo pethiyoo ketaangale...',he said and she quickly got up from her bed.She sat on the bed and was adjusting her hair.

'Adhuku...?',she asked gulping.
'Adhuku...',he gave a mischievous look and unbuttoned the two button on his tee.He slowly came near her and laid down on the bed.

He pulled her hand and made her lay near him.
She can't even look at him.Her face was completely flushed and her heartbeat was at her peak.His hot breath was hitting her earlobe and her's was on his chest.

He put his arms around her shoulders.
'Nithya ma...',he called her name and she just hummed in response without looking at him.

He can read the nervousness in her face.
'Enna paaru ma',he said and she slowly looked into his eyes.
'Heyy..nee bayapadadha ma,Naa unna onnum panna maaten.

'I love you Ashok ey',she said and he kissed her forehead.

'Aana nee yen ma bayandha...En mela nambikkai illaya unaku?',he asked.
'Apdi illa Ashok ey...Naa bayapadala.. adhu enaku solla therilaa..Neenga pakkathula vandhaale enaku..enakulla..yedho onnu aagudhu Ashok ey.. indha feeling enaku romba pudhusa iruku..',she said and she can't hide her blush.

'Aah...adha epdi solradhu Ashok ey..en heart beat enakke kekkudhu.. Apdiye vayithukulla pattamboochi parakura maari oru feeling... Edho oru bucket ice ah konduvandhu en thala mela kotra maari iruku... Apdiye kulu kulu nu',she said and burried her face in his chest.

'Kulu kulu...indha peru nallairukulla..From now you are my kulu kulu',he said and kissed her hairline.
'Kulu kulu ahh',she giggled.
'Aama my dear kulu kulu...',he winked.

'Serii naan unga kitta varumbodhu ungaluku epdi irukum?',she asked drawing patterns on his clothed chest.
'Nee kitta varumbodhu...unna apdiye en kai la thooki...',before he finish she interrupted.

'Heyy Ashok eyy..Naa feeling ah dhan keten',she said twisting her lips.
'Naanu feeling ah dhan ma solren',he winked and she playfully hitted his chest.

'Neenga onnu solla venaam',she sighed and he giggled.
'Seriyaana kd Ashok ey neenga..',she said.

'Naana?Nee mattum enna?Enna vida periya kd nee dhan',he said.
'Naana?',she asked.
'Aama nee dhan..iniku en machathula kiss pannella?',he asked and she turned red again.

'Ahh..bha..adhuu',she trembled.
'Bha bha bha',he imitated her.
'Ashok ey...',she whined.
'Ashok ey',he imitated her and she snuggled into him more.

'Serii ma...romba tired ah iruppa!Namma thoongalam',he said and she nodded.

Then they slept in eachother embrace.
Morning,she woke up in his embrace.
She looked at him,he was peacefully sleeping.

She doesn't want to disturb his peaceful sleep.She rested her head on his chest and she was listening to the most beautiful song in the world.His heartbeat!

She chuckled and he tightened his grip over her in sleep.
'Good morning Ashok ey',she whispered.
'Good morning Kulukulu',he said.

'Neenga thoongalaya?',she asked him.
'Naa apove mulichuten ma, seri nee mulichuruviye nu dhaan apdiye irundhe..',he said and she smiled at him.

She was still resting her head on his chest and listening to his heartbeat.
'Enna ma panra?',he asked.
'Im listening your heart beat Ashok ey...Kekka oru maari warm ah iruku',she said and kissed his chest. He smiled at her and kissed her forehead.

They were lying on the same position for few minutes and they got up from the bed.
They finished their morning chores and took their shower.
Nithya drapped her saree and Ashok helped her to adjust her fleets.
He just changed into a comfortable tee and tracks.

'Ashok eyy...oru prechana..',she said.
'Enna ma?',he asked.
'Thala pinnanu Ashok ey...enaku theriyaadhu',she said in a low voice.
'Adipaavi...unaku aprom enna dhan theriyum?',he asked.

'Hey Ashok ey... enaku mathavangaluku pinni vida theriyum..aana enaku naane pinnikaa theriyaadhu',she said and he chuckled.

'Serii inga vaa... I'll do this',he said and she gave the comb to him.
He softly combed her hair put her hair in braid.
'Ashok ey..idhellam epdi theriyum ungaluku?',she asked.

He couldn't talk because,he was holding her comb in his mouth.
'Hmm',he raised his eyebrows as what.
'Onnumilla',she said and admired this side of him.

He always take care her like a baby.
'Hmm finally ready polaama ma keela?',he asked and she nodded yes.
They came down and everyone one was at the house looking at them.

'Ashok ey..yen ellarum nammala ipdi paakuraanga?',she whispered in his ear and he sighed to keep quiet.
'Enna idhu?Idhu dhan endhirichu varra nerama rendu perukum',Paati asked and they looked at eachother.

'Time enna theriyum ah?11.00',Paati said and they both were shocked.
'Avlo neram ah thoongirukom',she thought and gulped.

'Rendu peraiyum....hmmm enna solradhu!Naalaikaachum seekrama endhiringa Purinjudha?',Paati said and they nodded.

'Poonga poi rendu perum saapdunga',Paati said and they went to the dining table.
Meena served them and they had their breakfast.

'Nithyaa',Paati called her and she went  to her.
'Sollunga Paati',she said.
'Hmm..iniku naa en pethi kaiyala dhan sapda poren!Enna ma Nithya un samayal ah indha paati sapdlam ah?',Paati asked and she looked at her with wide eyes.

'Edhuku athai,naane paathukuren', Meena said.
'Illa Meena,ava samaikatum naala pinna avalum neraya perukulam samachu palaganumla',Paati said.

'Haiyayooo...namaku vera indha Sambhar uh rasatha thavira vera yedhuvu theriyaadhey..',she thought.
'Enna ma samachiruvella.?',Paati asked.

'Ahh..Paati adhu..',before she complete Paati didn't let her finish.
'Nee samaikira avlodhan,Iniku friday adhunaala Veg dhan samaikanum.
Nyabagam irukatum!Nalla pannu',Paati said and moved.

'Haiyoo ipo enna panradhu..naa idhu varaikum ithana perukellam samachadhey illaye...',she thought and rushed to Ashok.He was sitting on the dining room and scrolling his mobile.
'Ashok ey...',she hitted his back so hard.

'Ahh...Valikudhu ma',he said rubbing his back.
'Ashok ey..oru periya prechana...Naandhan iniku samaikanumama Ashok eyy....',she said and he started laughing so hard.

'Ennanga sirikireenga?',she asked pouting.
'Illa nee anniku samaikirennu maavellam kottii en kitchen ahye alangolam panniye adha nenachen sirichen',he said and continued his laugh.

'Ashok eyy...',she whined.
'Summa sonne maa...nee pannu',he said casually.
'Ennadhu pannu ah?Enaku dhan perusa samaika theriyaadhey Ashok ey... Adhuvu ithana peruku epdi naan seiven?',she asked him nervously.

'Paathukalam ma...naan help panren',he said.
'Epdi pannuveenga?Paati inga dhana irupaanga',she said.

'Adhu veraya?',he asked and thought for a while.
'Bluetooth irukulla naan instruction kudukuren..Nee pannu',he said and she widened her eyes in joy.

'Thank youu Ashok eyyy', she said and kissed his cheek loudly.
'Paahh..ipdi adikkadi help panna adikadi indha maari edhavadhu kedaikum polaiye',he winked.

'Seri serii poonga poonga.. Neenga poi office work nu solli room ah lock pannidunga,apo neenga anga irundhu enaku instruction kudunga',she said.
'Seri di Kulukulu', he said and they both went towards their room.

She got the bluetooth and they setted everything as per their plan.
'Seri ma..enna samaika pora?',he asked.

'Veg biriyani panlam, aprom konjam white rice,rasam,choya gravy panlam and gobi 65 and papads!Epdi en plan uh',she said.
'Plan lam nalladhan iruku...aana nee samachuduvella..unaku kashtam ah irukaaadha ma?',he asked.

'Neenga dhan enkooda pesite irupeenngaley enaku kashtam lam theriyaadhu',she said and he pecked her forehead.

'Nithya...innu samaiyal aarambikalayaa?',she heard paati's voice.
'Idhoo varen Paati',she rushed down.
She went inside the kitchen.

'Ipoo enna panradhu?',she whispered.
'First biriyani panradhuku,basmati rice ah eduthu wash pannitu,then oora vekkanu',he too whispered.
'Ada Ashok ey.. Naandhan medhuva pesanu neenga illa',she said and he realised that he was too whispering.
'Seri evlo podanum',she asked and he said the measurings.

She soaked the rice and peas for vegetable biriyani.
He told her to clean the cauliflower by boiling it with a pinch of turmeric in water and asked her to boil the Meal maker.He asked her to marinate the cauliflower for Gobi 65 and he asked her to cut the vegetables.

'Maa..kai bathram paathu vettu...kai bathram ma',he repeated.
'Naan paathukuren Ashok ey...',she said.

'Serii serii pannu',he said.
She smiled at his caring for her.
'Ahh..',she shouted suddenly.
'Maa enna aachu?Are you Okay?',he panicked.

'Onnu illa Ashok ey,it was just a mosquito.Yen padhareenga?',she asked and he huffed in relief.

'Maa..paathu pannu ma.. yaaraiyavadhu venumnaa help ku koopdriyaa...naa venumna keela varatuma?',he asked her.

'Ellaru naaliku function kaga veedu clean pannitu irukaanga Ashok ey...Naa paathukuren vidunga',she said.

'Naa vena varen ma,nee epdi thaniya avlo vela pannuva?',he asked with full concern.
'Maa naan panren ma... don't worry.',she said smiling.

'Iniku nu paathu yaarume illa,ellam College ku poitaanga',Ashok huffed.
'Seri Ashok ey..naan paathukure',she said and concentrated in cooking.
Then she started her cooking with his instructions.

He instructed everything like clear as crystal.
She did everything as per his instructions.
He was still saying her to be safe and she nodded.

While cooking,her hand accidentally hitted on the hot cooker and her wrist was slightly burned.

She controlled her pain and she didn't shout because if Ashok knew this,he'll definitely get worried.
Finally everything was done.

'Thank you Ashok eyy...ellam mudinchu!Nalla vandhurukum nu nenaikire',she said.
'Adhellam semmaya vandhurukum maa.. paathukalam vidu',he said and she nodded happily.

'Seri Ashok ey..naan ini ellathayu arrange panni vekkiren..Naa ungala koopdumbodhu vaanga',she said.
'Illala naanu varen..unaku help panna',he said and they declined the call.

They arranged the dining table and as it was Saturday,it was a half day for his cousins and reached their home back at the afternoon for lunch.

All the women were finished their works and Ashok's father and his uncles to joined them.Then Paati too joined.

Everyone seated and Meena was about to serve but Nithya stopped her.
'Athai,we'll serve!Neenga ukkarunga',she compelled Meena to sit and she nodded.

Then Nithya, Ashok and his cousins served the elders and served for themselves.

Nithya was waiting for everyone's reactions anticipatingly.
Ashok held her hand and blinked his eyes as everything was fine and she nodded.

'Anni food was awesome',Jaanu said and everyone appreciated her cooking.
'Romba nallairuku Nithya..It was so good.',Paati smiled and Nithya sighed in relief.She smiled at Ashok and he smiled at her proudly.

She raised her eyebrows as how was the food and he sighed as wow.She chuckled and continued eating.
Then everyone finished their lunch and headed to their respective rooms for a afternoon nap.
Ashok and Nithya too went to their room.

He locked the room and hugged her from the back.
'Super samayal di Kulukulu',he whispered in her ear.
'Solli kuduthadhu yaaru?',she said and he kissed her bare shoulder blade.

His kiss made her shiver travel to her spine.
'Ashok eyy',she was about to move but he held her burnt wrist.
'Ahh',she shouted and he quickly removed his hold.

'Ennaachu Nithya?Kaila enna?',he asked.
'Onnumillaye',she said hiding her hand.

'Aprom yen di kathuna?enamo panniruka kaatu',he said and took her hand gently.His eyes welled up seeing her burnt wound on her wrist.

'Nithya...enna ma idhu',he asked and she remained silent.
He made her sit on the bed and took the first aid kid.He sat beside her and took her hand.He applied the oilnment on the wound gently.

'Aayiram vaati sonne,aayiram vaati sonne, paathu pannu paathu pannunu..naa varatanu keta madam periya ivunga maari naane pannikuvennu oru build up vera...paaru nee enna panni vechurukennu.Yen Nithya ipdi careless ah irukka..',he scolded her with full of concern and his love was clearly visible in his eyes.

'Illa Ashok ey..adhu onnu valikkala',she said.
'Pesaadha Nithya nee...Evlodhadava sonnen..naanu help ku varennu ketiya nee!Ippo paaru',he said and she smiled at his care.

'Yeriyudha?',he asked.
'Yerinjudhu...but not now!',she smiled.
'Amaa..idhuku onnum korachal illa po dii',he sighed.

'Sorry Ashok ey...ini ipdi careless ah irukka maaten promise',she said and kissed his cheek.

'Ipdi edhavadhu panni enna off pannidu...peh',he sighed and she chuckled.

'Serii nee un kaala kattu',he said and pulled her legs made and placed in his lap.

'Yen Ashok ey?',she asked.
'Illama,romba neram ninnu samachiruppa,I know your legs are paining right?Naan kaal pidichu vidren',he said.

'Ayoo Ashok ey venaam...adhellam onnumilla',she said but he held her legs.

'Ushhh!Pesama iru..',he said and started massaging his legs gently and softly.
She smiled at him.

'I don't know whether anyone was lucky more than me!Love You Ashok ey',she thought and keep looking at him with full of love in her eyes.
