However, Muthu appeared to stroll past every one of the fields. The sun had begun going down, yet in its inclination it very well may be felt all the more forcefully. ‘How much further?’ ‘to see another spot and taste new stuff, you wouldn’t fret such uneasiness. Keep a watch out. You will embrace me and give me a kiss!’said Muthu. Kali’s interest was aroused. He continued to stroll with Muthu past the fruitless terrains. 22 Ponna’s folks got going when Kali and Muthu left. ‘We are late,’ they shared with Ponna and hurried her to prepare.
Before he left, Muthu came into the house and told Ponna, ‘We two will be fine. You go, Ponna. Consider god to you.’ She had ventured out anxiously to express bye to Kali. He caused a stir and grinned at her enticingly. He wouldn’t converse with her when they were in a group or in any event, when there was any other person around. In any case, he would convey everything to her with his looks. His eyebrows would curve and converse with her; the bend of his lips would contain his directive for her; and simply a gesture of his head would tell her what he needed. It was just she who was worried about the possibility that that somebody would get them at this game.
She was shocked that her sibling had figured out how to address Kali and get his consent for this. Subsequent to strolling a little distance, Kali went to check her out. She stood not too far off, since she realized he would do that. She sent him off with a timid grin. A short time after their takeoff, a bullock truck pulled up before the house. There was roughage spread on the truck for herself as well as her mom to sit on. In the sack tied under the truck, there was a few grain for the bull and two coarse mats. Her mom had pressed some food, and it was currently close to her on the feed.
Ponna hadn’t realized her mom had stuffed nourishment for the way, however she had been with her the entire day. She probably doused tamarind and made the rice when Ponna was occupied with Kali. ‘When did you figure out how to pack the food, Amma?’said Ponna. ‘Both of you are all around one another like you just got hitched. You talk through signs. In this, where do have the opportunity to focus on what I am doing?’ her mom answered.
‘In the event that there is a kid, it will show you some modesty,’she added. ‘Indeed, to some degree now your better half had the sound judgment to say OK. Ask that this time it ought to all work out positively.’ Ponna hurled a murmur of help. At the point when she had bled in the primary month after the wedding, her mother by marriage sniggered in dismay and dismissed her face. From that point forward, the snigger had proceeded with each month until that day. Nothing had ended up evolving that. Be that as it may, presently, Ponna was going with her favors. It was Kali’s difference at the top of the priority list that was amazing for her. Maybe it was on the grounds that her sibling and Kali were companions since adolescence.
That is the reason his words had made some difference. In an extremely brief time, the bullock truck arrived at the principal street. Colossal tamarind trees lined the street that ran among Tiruchengode and Erode. From the place where their mud way met this principal street, they saw that it was at that point fixed with bullock trucks. Traffic was very terrible even on days when individuals went to see the chariot, yet nothing contrasted with this day. Their truck too embedded itself into the line. They saw there were a great deal of trucks without rooftops and which had just roughage spread on them. There were only a couple of bullock trucks that had a shrouded box to sit in.
In these, everyone were pressed tight. Both mother and girl felt peculiar that it was just their truck that was not packed. Each truck conveyed heaps of grass and grub for the bulls. They might hear the crowing of hens and chickens from under a portion of the trucks. Individuals would go see the divine beings that evening and the following day they would offer pongal and penance a chicken for the snake god in the woodland. After they’d cooked and eaten, they’d wash and clean their utensils in that general area prior to leaving. Many chickens would be forfeited the following day. Obviously, it would be one more jam-packed day in Tiruchengode.
Not in the least did the residue from the streets choose their bodies, it additionally flew on to their appearances and made it hard to relax. Individuals strolling by the side of the trucks wouldn’t fret this even the slightest bit. They carried on as though the residue was only sacred debris spreading itself on them. Following her mom, Ponna covered her face with her sari.
