Author's POV..  Both were laying naked under the blanket..... He was laying side ways creasing her face...... Like he was remembering every inch of it closely.... Gowri :Are you memorizing my face.... Shiva : No.......just reliving the moment once again....... I lived this 6 years believing this . ....we would get back like this...... When it's happening it feels unreal.... I am just reassuring myself that it's true... I am not dreaming.... She smiled and gripped his  hand and kissed it.... He smiled and kissed her hand which holding his hand.... She get more closer to him and cuddle with him he encircled his hands around her body pulling her more into him... There was complete silence both liked that silence too..... She looked up and staring at him with full love.... Her hands cupped his face and she pressed her lips oh neck and travelled down to his chest....she kissed him multiple times he groaned... Shiva : arghhhh thirumba arambikatha diiii.... (Arghhhh...don't start again dii )Gowri : hmmm.... She again hugged him comfortably..... He closed his eyes to sleep she was still admiring him.... Feeling her strong gaze and her touch asked  Shiva : Ena solanum madam ku huh..... She smiled at looked up at him.... Gowri : I love you.... He opened his  eyes and kissed her forehead..... Gowri : I mean it.... Shiva : I know you do.... Ilana una thotruka matein diii... (I know you do...or else I wouldn't have touched you dii )Gowri : Ohoh apdi......

I don't want that" I love you" ever.....Rare ah sonalum manasara solanum..... (Huh huh.......You don't have to say it...your every actions shows how much you love me.......that's enough for me....you know this constant reminder "I love You's" would lose its essence when you say it often and it eventually becomes a formality one....I don't want that" I love you" ever.......Even if its rarely said I want that to be wholeheartedly said words )Shiva : True.... He kissed her bare shoulder and neck making her left out a small moan.... Gowri : aahmmm.... Pothum....thonga vidunga....

He chuckled and hugged her from back and pulled her towards him....both  Tried to sleep but that was far away... She has something to say but don't know how to start it... It may provoke his anger he might don't like it... After sometime Shiva spoke... Shiva : Oiii Chellama... Gowri: hmmmShiva : Are you up for our midnight conversation... She smiled and turned back.... Gowri : You know both father and daughter are same in this... He frowned... Shiva : Ethula dii.. (In what????)Gowri : Mynthu ipo tha sound sleeper and have a routine but atha kondu vara patta kastam enaku tha theriyum... She was a night girl....

(Mynthu is sound sleeper and have sleep routine now only.....only I know how much it took me to bring it ....She was a night owl, sleeping little during the day but becoming hyperactive at night. Merely staying awake with her wasn't sufficient; we had to engage in conversation, to which she would hum in response. The moment we thought she had fallen asleep and ceased talking, she would open her eyes and begin to cry and scream. It was usually around 3 a.m. before she would sleep, a pattern that persisted until she was three years old.just like you she hums .....even now if you call her name when she asleep she would humm but won't wake up or open her eyes )Shiva : Nanu apdi tha irunthein nu Amma soluvanga.... You know I wanted a little sister for long time but athu nadakave ila.... Many of my classmates have sister or brother I kind of envy them enatha sanda potalum that bond was something else.... (Yeah amma said I was also like that.......you know I wanted a little sister for long time but that never happened.....Many of my classmates have sister or brother I kind of envy them ...no matter how much they fight that bond was something else..)Gowri : hmmmm yes.... Ama ipo ethuku atha soneinga..... (Hmmmm yes......but why are talking about that right now )He smiled suspiciously and hovered over her she gasped at his sudden action.... Gowri : Ena pandreingaa...

(You don't talk in between maa....I am talking with Appa.....you have sister right so mynthu to want sister...that's it....Appa I want little sister...when I asked patti she said me to ask you...)All the ladies were laughing hearing them speaking on loud speakerShiva : Nanum atha thango solrein  un amma tha othuka matra... (Even I am saying the same thing Thango....it was your mother who doesn't agree with it )Gowri glared at him which he ignored...... Mynthu : Athula convince panidalam paa nee okay solu..... (We can convince her appa....you just say okay )Shiva : Enaku epovo okay chello...(It's okay for me always Chello)He winked at Gowri who was staring at him with wide eyes and wide mouth.....

(I am coming Thango...would be there soon )Mynthu: Okay byeeeeeeShe cut the call both Shiva and Gowri looked at each other and broke into fist of laughing .... Shiva kissed her forehead and left wearing his clothes to pick up his crazy daughter while Gowri entered into the bathroom to take a hot shower.... She came out and work comfort clothes and changed the bedsheets and waited for the father and daughter duo.... After half an hour Shiva came in with sleeping mynthu in his arms.... Mynthu slept in car itself hugging her father... He drove carefully as she was sleeping sitting on him in the driver seat... Gowri : Thongitala.. (Is she slept)Shiva nodded, settled Mynthu in the center of the bed, and went to bathe. Gowri, lying on her side and stroking Mynthu's hair, succumbed to her exhaustion and fell asleep. After a while, Shiva returned, climbed onto the bed, and gently positioned Mynthu to sleep on one side of him, while drawing his wife close on the other. As both nestled closer to him in their sleep, he smiled, feeling a sense of completeness. He kissed both of them and drifted off to sleep....
