Episode-11
Anju was in tears.
“Unakkenna mannil Vaazhum ithayam adi ..
Uyirullavarai naan un adimai adi “
Vinay and Anju shifted to the new house , the next week.
Vinay had done all the shifting before he took Anju there.
The master bedroom was huge and spacious in the ground floor.
There where two rooms upstairs. One guest room.
Anju: what are we gonna do with the other big room Vinay?
Vinay: see it for yourself. He took her upstairs
There was another surprise for Anju
The room was filled with the paintings which Anju had done from her childhood.
Anju had a passion for Painting, but she had stopped doing them recently. She had told him about this before marriage in a casual talk.
Vinay: Now you can continue with your interests here
“It’s not a big deal to get a life partner who loves you, but it is, to get a soul mate who loves & respects your interests too … “
Every day Vinay would wake up early, prepare the breakfast before Anju woke up. They also hired a maid to help her.
Vinay started going to office three months after their marriage. Before he left he would also prepare lunch and would feed breakfast to her.
The minor injuries had now cured and she had started to get her physiotherapy treatment for walking.
Vinay used to apply the ointment to her knees everyday and would leave notes for her. Vinay and anju had this habit of leaving notes in papers even in this mobile phone culture. They loved it that way .
Every day evening Vinay would take her out in her wheel chair. Vinay would discuss about his experience in his new office and Anju would talk about what she did the whole day, the painting which she did and about the neighbors visiting her.
The colony was a pleasant one with not much of a crowd around and away from the city. The neighbors were friendly and caring to Anju. One or another visited her everyday and she was always occupied by the kids in the colony.
The kids would learn paintings from her and she also helped them with their homework
Vinay’s Grandparents visited them once in a week. Vinay and Anju had asked them to stay with them but they refused to. Vinayak thatha preferred to stay in adayar where he got used to for several years.
Anju was completely alright six months later. The most difficult days in her life had gone with much ease because of her husband.
“Idhae Azhuththam Azhuththam …..Idhae Anaippu Anaippu…..
Vaazhvin Ellai Varai Vaendum Vaendum…
Vaazhvin Ellai Varai Vaendum Vaendumae…. “
First wedding anniversary:
Vinay was late from office for the past few days. Anju would stay awake to serve him dinner, late in the night.
She wanted to talk to him but never got time to. He looked too busy when he was at home.
Even on weekends he was staying out for most of the time. Anju started feeling lonely
“En kaadhal puriyalaya
Un istam anbae po
En kanavu kalainthaalum
Ne irunthaai anbae po”
Vinay had left home early today. Anju was almost in tears when she woke up . he could have at least wished me before leaving, she taught. It was a Sunday and she taught he might return home for lunch and started preparing lunch.
It was almost evening and Vinay had not returned home. Anju was upset. She was sitting in the dining table for hours now.
5 Pm:
Vinay had returned home. Anju was almost in tears but he never seemed to look at her.
Vinay: Anju! Get ready soon. We are going out!
Anju: Vinay… where are we going?
Vinay: We are going to the city. We’ll be returning back tonight. Please get ready soon. We are leaving home in half an hour.
Has he forgotten this day? How can he? Where is he taking me out to? Vinay is acting strange these days
Vinay was driving the car and didn’t talk much to her. Anju kept herself calm.
They reached an Art gallery in Adayar. The place was Crowded and it looked like an exhibition. It was the first time she visited the place.
Anju was totally confused as to why he had brought her here.
Anju: Vinay! What’s this place? Why are we here? Will you please answer me at least now?
Her tone was low and sad, her eyes was almost in tears .
Vinay just smiled at her, took her arms into his.
Vinay: Happy Anniversary My dear Wife!!!!
Anju: Hugged him and started to cry. Idiot! you know how bad I felt? I was waiting for this from morning and you’re wishing me now.
Vinay tried to console her and started walking inside the gallery.
Anju: why are we here Vinay?
Vinay: come and see for yourself
The Gallery was filled with various Paintings from renowned as well as new Artists from all parts of the country. Artists, celebrities and a lot of people had gathered for the exhibition.
Anju started to gaze through the paintings.
When they walked to the centre of the hall, it was crowded in front of one of the paintings.
Anju was merely shocked to see her paintings hanging there.
The portrait of a small girl sitting outside her house which she had painted was at the centre. The painting had fascinated everyone out there.
Critics and renowned artists were all admiring her work and were full of praises.
Anju was the centre of attraction there and she was completely out of the world.
She had to breathe hard, trying to bring down herself. She had never expected this.
This is the first time her painting has been kept for display in an exhibition.
She was in for more surprise when Anju’s Dad walked towards her.
She was in tears but this time of happiness
Anju’s dad and her relatives had all come to Chennai that same day, Vinay had done the arrangements.
She came to know that Vinay had been working hard for days for this exhibition thing. He had to travel to places to make the arrangements.
Vinay: How is my Gift dear?
Anju was lost for words at the moment. He ran to him and hugged him.
He loves me and never fails to love me every moment!!!!
They all had dinner together and Anju’s dad and relatives had to leave to Coimbatore that same night.
Anju requested her dad to stay for a while with her, but he had to attend a family function the next day and had to leave.
Anju and Vinay were driving back home along the ECR. It was a pleasant drive. Anju was lying on his shoulders and enjoying the moment.
They had almost reached their colony.
Anju: Vinay shall we take a walk!
Vinay: sure dear!
They started walking towards their villa.
Anju: Vinay! You wanna know my gift?
Vinay: you have one for me?
Anju: The most precious thing you would ever want to have in this world.
Vinay was so curious.
Vinay: hey Anju whats that? Please da ! Don’t play with my patience!
Anju: Close your eyes and give me your hand.
Anju took his hand and kept it on her tummy.
Anju: “we are gonna have a Baby soon, Vinay”
Tears broke down from Vinay’s eyes. The best ever thing he could have waited for in his life time.
The Most happiest moment for any couple in the world.
Once again Words Fail here to express the extent of happiness Vinay and Anju had that moment.
“Nirai maatha nilavae vaa.. nadai podu methuva methuva…
Alaghae un paadu arivenamma!!!
Thaikku pin thaaram neethannamma !!!!
U’l Be fine Forever and Ever …
The End…
