She was running around the house chasing him , "Stop now or you are gonna regret it " she shouted running and panting .

He chuckled and ran away faster , she sat down not able to catch up with him . It's always like this , bickering then him running away .

She sat down panting and holding her head . He stopped in his track to check on her and he saw that she was sitting down on the couch in the living room .

He then sneakily got near her but stood at a some distance to run away again if she chases but she didn't look at him .

He knew it's high time he reaches her , he went closer to her and took her hands in his , "Kovama irukaya ma " he asked in his puppy voice making her go awe on him but she didn't budge for it this time .

She simply turned her head and stood up and started walking towards kitchen to drink some water and he slowly went behind her .

"I'm sorryyyy plchhh talk to me " he whined . She was melting and turned towards him and he made his last draw the puppy face and she melted completely .

"Adi I'm not angry" she cooed and carried him and placed on the kitchen counter . "But why did you eat ice creams without asking me huh !?" She asked in a slightly rised tone. 

"Mama only bought me that ! Nan ena panuven " he said making a pouting face . "Avan irukane adutha thadava varatum ullayae Vida maten" she rambled and Adi chuckled .

"Ena vitu ena da sirikareenga rendu perum !" Varun asked coming from his room adjusting his tee . He came and sat on the counter beside his cute little son .

Yes Adithya , is our couple's 3 year old son , it's been 5 years since they were married and they were blessed with this cute little munchkin . And ever since he came into their life it has become more colourful and fun .

"Mama bought me ice cweamm and mowmy is mad " he said in his childish accent making Varun to chuckle . "Sirikatha Varu , ithoda third ice cream this week cold vantha ena aagum " she complained and both the father and son looked at each other talking in their own language .

Nithya noticed it , "Appa kum Pullaikum anga ena thaniya convo oduthu" she asked raising her eyebrows .

Varun got down and hugged her , she tried to push him away , "Varu ... Adii irukannn viduuu" she said . "Nann pakalaaaa" Adi told and hid his face with his small hands making his parents go awe on him and chuckle .

Varun scooped his son with his other hand and the three had their family hug . After their cuddlings and talks they decided to watch something as its a Saturday night .

Saturday nights are strictly reserved for family and the three would sit and watch something .

Varun sat at the left , Adi crawled between his parents and snuggled comfily . "Sneaky boy" Varun said and ruffled Adi's hair making him whine .

Nithya chuckled seeing them and sighed , she remembered the first time Varun's reaction when she said she was pregnant , the pride and happiness in his face was something he didn't have even when he was awarded the best businessman of the year .

She then remembered how he took care of her throughout the pregnancy and how he stayed with her during pregnancy .

She couldn't asked for more , she was contented with her life , the ever caring husband , cutest kid. 

She was now working as a journalist rather than being a full time photographer . She decided it when Adi was born . She knew it would be difficult to raise Adi with that job .

Thinking about Adi , she was blessed with that beautiful human , he is one smart kid who understands everything even at this small age . He is the chellapillai to the gang and his grandparents . They all love to spoil him with so much love .

He is such a caring brother type to his cousin , Nisha who is daughter of Arjun and Preethi who is 1 year old .

Adi just adores her so much and doesn't allow anybody near her when he is there . Arjun and Preethi were married after 1 year of our leads marriage .

Harini is happily married to Kavin , ( 🤪 free promotion to my one shot Engeyo Paartha Mayakam ) .

Narmadha settled in India with her husband Vijay . The gang would meet twice in a month in their house to enjoy every minute of it .

Adi being the first born , they all loved him as their son . And he too was so attached to them .

"Nalaiku elarum varanga thanae" Varun asked making Nithya come out of trance . "Illa next week pathukalam soltanga , Kavin Ku etho work iruku pola " she told .

"Apa namba moonu Perum veliya polama engana it's been long since we went out " Varun said . And Adi jumped up and down .

"Veliya poromaaaa yayyyyy" he squealed . Varun made him sit again , "Unga Amma inum okay solala come on make her agree now " he said and the duo turned towards her .

Both made an identical puppy face and she chuckled seeing it . It was not the first time , Adi was both mom and dad's favourite but he sticks with his mom sometimes making his dad fight with him .

But when dad and son wants something , they both are literally the same . "Plsssss mowmmyyy " Adi said . And Nithya accepted .

"Okay come on now , Sachein pakalam " she said making the duo groan . She slowly hit both on their arms .

"Inum ethana vaati d athae padam paapa" Varun asked whining . Adi nodded agreeing his dad cutely .

"Veliya poganum la " she asked raising her eyebrows and the duo rolled their eyes identically again. 

"Peruku thaan Amma payyan pandrathu Elam appa Mari " she murmured and Varun and Adi laughed out loud . Both went and hugged her making her sigh and hug them back .

They then watched her favourite movie and were snuggling . When the movie finished , she found Adi asleep on his dad's arms while Varun protectively held him against his chest .

She smiled looking at it , she slowly picked him up from Varun and went to Adi's room . She tucked him in and he stirred a bit and opened his eyes .

He found his Dad and Mom standing there with a smiling face . "Gowd nigght Ma , gowd nighht pa " he told yawning and they wished him back and went out .

Varun was standing in their room's balcony when Nithya  entered . She went there and stood near him holding his arms tightly .

He wrapped his arms around her , making her stand so close to him . "Nethu thaan antha gallery la patha Mari iruku " she said chuckling.

"Ama , time flew fast " he said pausing , "But I love this , you me , And Adi our friends and family . This is beautiful d . Itha Vida better ana life enaku kandipa kedachirukathu " he said placing his head on her shoulders by hugging her from behind .

She turned around and looked at his brown orbs which totally has the power to drown her into it .

"I love you Varun" she said , and this word still has the effect to make his eyes twinkle with some glee every time she says it. 

"I love you too ma " he said hugging her more . "Do you remember Kalyanam Ku munadi naal night ithae Mari we were standing on that terrace , it's been 5 years la athukulla " he said .

"Ama that day you gave me all the answers to my unasked questions anaiku thaan purinjikiten , you are my soulmate and nothing else is needed for me nu" she said with genuine happinesss in her eyes .

He placed a gentle kiss on her forehead and hugged her tightly they stood there watching the moon which glowed brighter than ever for them .
