Yet, that time, all he shared with her was, ‘It has been decade since we got hitched. For what reason do we actually have to go there for the celebration? We should do it here this time.’ She didn’t dissent, yet she detected that something was off-base. They didn’t go in any event, when her mom came and welcomed them to the last day of the celebration. All things considered, they went to the huge snake pit in the fields and offered a chicken for supplication. Whenever he poured the kuzhambu for his mom, she didn’t meet his eyes. All things considered, that year’s trial was finished. The concern could stand by one more year. He was as yet befuddled regardless of whether to carry this up with Ponna. He figured she would deny. He trusted that that is what she would do, truth be told. In any case, he was too frightened to even think about suggesting the topic with her. One second, he felt the fortitude to begin the discussion, however when he took a gander at her, he faltered, feeling totally silenced. At different times, he felt extremely sure that he shouldn’t converse with her about this by any stretch of the imagination. In any case, she could want an explanation if one year from now too he expressed no to going to her mom’s place for the celebration.
He realized he was unable to keep it from her eternity, however he was likewise uncertain whether he ought to request her viewpoint about this or proclaim his choice. Her body had laced with his for a decade at this point. It had met his scents for a decade at this point. He felt that all of her body was his and his alone. On the off chance that one more aroma were laid over it, it would be a flaw. What’s more, he told himself with sureness that whenever it was imperfect, he wouldn’t contact it. In the event that all men were divine beings, let the god claim Kali’s body as well. He confided in her. He reviewed when the youngsters of the town had begun prodding him for not having a kid even following two years of marriage. Assuming that they knew everybody’s confidential in the town, they reasoned that Kali was a futile sissy. Every one of their feelings began streaming towards Ponna. They figured they could draw her on the off chance that they put a few exertion into it. He heard that they had put down wagers on it. Karuppannan, who claimed a palm woods, was the driving force of this plan. He had a fair appearance and was under the hallucination that ladies would simply fall all over him for the shade of his skin.
He was hitched and had youngsters. It was his significant other who accomplished practically everything at home and in the fields. Everything he did was lounge around in the town square, playing dice and gazing at ladies. He likewise waxed smooth about his adventures. In any case, a large portion of them really ended up being living in fantasy land. He got into the odd propensity for blocking Ponna when she went alone to the fields, and smiling at her ingratiatingly. He even begun coming to Kali’s home in the day with his companions to play dice. Ponna turned into his server, bringing him water, matchbox, etc. Kali would return from the farm in the evening and thump on the entryway. However, Ponna didn’t know any more that it must be Kali. Dreading tattle, she chose to go through one night in the farm. Holding him in her hug, she spilled her guts. His chest, wet with her tears, hurled out of frustration. ‘Isn’t this is on the grounds that I have no kids that individuals take a gander at me this way?’she cried. ‘Assuming I had that gift, could I need to experience this shame? Each canine thinks I am only a stone remaining at the city intersection that it can rub itself against.’ The following day, Kali experienced Karuppannan. Not surprisingly, the last option’s discussion was stacked with innuendoes.
‘Kali, my sibling, you have two coconut trees. Would you be able to water them appropriately? Check the new blooms out. They are evaporated and wilted.’ Kali concluded it was an exercise in futility to skirt the real issue. He charged in head-on. ‘Karuppannan, you have no clue about how I approach watering things. Haven’t you offered your sister Lacchi to Pudhupalayam? Ask her, she will tell you! For what reason do you suppose she continues to return here? Do you suppose she comes to see you, her sibling? You unfortunate thing! Your better half is bemoaning to everybody that you are jobless and lounging around the town square. Ask her and figure out what work you are great for. Try not to stress over my coconut trees. Hold your round of dice to the town square.’ A dim shadow fell over Karuppannan’s face. However Kali had blended a decent arrangement of lies in with reality, the conviction with which he talked shook Karuppannan and pursued him away from the square. He fixed his undergarment and changed his torment to a concealed spot in the field. After this, Ponna needed to addressed no irregular man.
