What did youngsters need to stress over? They could play constantly even in the roads. She too wanted to cooperate with them. Yet, somebody could comment, ‘Now that she doesn’t have her very own offspring, she has chosen to become one and skip about herself.’ They could prevent their youngsters from conversing with her. So Ponna satisfied herself with watching them from a good ways. At the point when she entered the farm, feeling content, she heard Uncle Nallupayyan say, ‘This is the sort of room you want for a calf to mess about in.’ seven days old calf was jumping pretty much all around the farm.
‘We have the space, Uncle, and we can celebrate at the calf’s jumping about. All things considered, do we have kids to go around this place?’she said in a tone of renunciation. Whenever this subject came up, Uncle had words that were like demulcent to her hurting heart. As a matter of fact, she would frequently offer whatever comment just to get his reaction. What’s more, Uncle answered that day. He said, ‘You can definitely relax, girl inlaw. Partake in the calf’s joy. That is a youngster, as well. In the event that you go out into the road, don’t you see various kids playing? Watch them as long as you need. No more.
What else could there be in a kid? Everything endures just a short time. Take this calf, for instance. After some time, it will jump on to this bed. It will proceed to irritate the goats. We will get irritated and tie it up in one spot. My sibling’s kids used to come to my home. It would be in every way decent for some time. From that point forward, it would be generally a disturbance with them breaking this and crushing that. I would pursue them away like canines. They’d cry as they ran. What of it? In their own homes, they kept the peace.
That is since, supposing that they broke anything, their moms would take hot iron poles to them. In this way, it is smarter to check out at everything from a good ways. It is a disturbance to need to deal with kids. Be feeling better that you don’t need to go through all that. Tell inept canines who nothing about bliss continue having youngsters and continue to endure. Allow us to chuckle at that as well!’ ‘Are you generally this energetic, Uncle?’she inquired. ‘That is the way to bliss, dear young lady. Trifle with everything, you won’t be pounced upon by stresses. Try not to contemplate who gets out whatever.
It adjust assuming that we also discuss of them!’ he said. Presently, once more, Ponna felt as blissful in the farm as she was at whatever point Uncle Nallupayyan visited. She wasn’t to the chariot celebration for a long time. Her sibling wouldn’t allow that to happen this time. She had cooked what her sibling adored most: kootucharu and fiery vadai. As soon she put her bushel down, Muthu said, ‘Ponna, we will serve ourselves. You return home. I have examined everything with mapillai. He has expressed yes to your going with me in the first part of the day.’ Though Muthu had told her this, she would possibly be persuaded in the event that she heard it directly from Kali. Could he truly have consented to send her to Tiruchengode on the day the divine beings returned to the slope? She wanted to ask joyously, ‘Truly?’
But she contemplated whether that would be terrible to Kali. He could say, ‘Do you need it so seriously?’ Even on the off chance that he expressed nothing in her sibling’s presence, he would ensure he told her later. To end her quiet, Muthu said, ‘Mapillai, you tell her yourself. She will accept it provided that you say it. My words don’t convey weight any more.’ Kali giggled, ‘Indeed, there are spots where your words make all the difference. Ponna, leave with your sibling toward the beginning of the day. I will come on the fourteenth day … We’ll see.’ Not having any desire to obstruct their discussion, Ponna left immediately. Be that as it may, 1,000,000 contemplations pounced upon her. What was the real meaning of ‘We’ll see’? Was it in light of what her sibling implied when he said ‘I have examined everything’? Only a tad while prior, when they were getting ready supper, her mother in-regulation had told her, ‘What could be thought about? This is god’s work. You will be with whoever shows up as god for you. God will show you the way. Do you know the old Vellapillai lady in our town?
Do you have any idea about how her mom imagined her? She was given by the god on the fourteenth day. Requesting a kid, her mom went there a second time as well. Also, she got the male kid she needed. Ponna, this is a custom that has been happening for a long time. Try not to stress over anything. Simply consider god.’ As she strolled back home, Ponna recited to herself, ‘Goodness, lord of Sengottai, mother Pavatha, it is in you that I trust. If it’s not too much trouble, show me a decent way.’
