Update 31
The sun was yet to rise fully, but the sky had begun to lighten slightly. Adhi woke up slowly from her sleep. She opened her eyes and found herself lying in the open, covered only by a blanket with no clothes on her body. She turned to see Velu sleeping beside her, completely naked just like her.
She gave a light kick on his buttocks.
Velu slowly opened his eyes.
“Sir, please move your leg off me… It’s getting light. I have to go,” she said, pushing his legs away. As she got up, the blanket slipped off her, exposing both her breasts fully.
Anyone who saw them could clearly tell that those two mangoes had been squeezed and juiced thoroughly the entire night. There were red marks and swellings all over her breasts, nail scratches on her back, and white patches scattered across her body. She picked up the fallen bedsheet, covered herself, pushed his legs aside and stood up.
As she slightly lifted his blanket too, the white snake that had been resting between his legs slipped out a little. That same snake had showered her with many pearls in multiple places throughout the night.
Seeing it, Adhi said, “Sir, please put that inside…”
“No matter how much stock you have… you kept pouring and pouring… my cave is completely filled up. Not satisfied with that, you sprayed all over my body like performing a sacred ritual. Sorry Adhi… I couldn’t control myself.”
“Hmm… Okay, okay… Before aunty and uncle wake up, I’ll go take a bath and get ready. You also get ready quickly. And call them and check what happened… how Raghu is doing now.”
“Okay…”
“I’ll also call my husband and ask.”
“Alright, Adhi…”
Adhi picked up her scattered clothes from the ground. She walked with some difficulty and slipped into her room without anyone noticing. She took a long shower, cleaned her body thoroughly, got dressed properly, and went to her mother-in-law’s room. Everyone was already ready and preparing to leave. Adhi informed them about Raghu’s accident and that Ravi had gone there.
By then Velu also got ready. They finished breakfast a bit late, booked a cab, and all of them headed back to Coimbatore.
On the way, Adhi called Ravi again.
“How is Anna doing now?”
“Hmm… He’s stable, Adhi. Nothing to be too scared about. There’s just a small fracture in his leg. A minor operation today, that’s all. It will take about four months to recover fully. Otherwise, no major issues.”
“Thank God, nothing serious happened.”
“Hmm… Yes, Adhi.”
“Okay, we are on our way there now. We’ll reach in a short while. Has Krithika eaten anything?”
“Yes, I just got something from the canteen for her. Have you all eaten?”
“Haan… We ate at the hotel.”
“Okay, we’ll see you there.”
“Hmm… Okay, Adhi.”
After speaking with Adhi, since he hadn’t slept properly the previous night, Ravi dozed off while sitting on the hospital chair.
Krithika came and woke him.
“Anna… Anna…”
Ravi woke up yawning.
“Haan… What happened, ma?”
“Did the doctors say anything?”
“No, Anna. Because of the injection, he’s sleeping well now. It’ll take some time for him to wake up. I left my son at the neighbour’s house. I’ll go home, take a bath, and bring him back.”
“I’ll bring him myself, ma.”
“No, Anna… You’ve already been troubled a lot since last night. My family members have all left. They’ll reach here in a short while. You stay here until then. If the nurse calls for anything, please call me.”
“Okay, ma…”
“I’ll come back quickly, Anna.”
“Hmm…”
Krithika left to take a bath and bring her son.
Ravi was sitting on a chair outside the ICU where his friend Raghu was admitted.
At that time, Guru arrived searching for Raghu.
“Is there a person named Raghu who met with an accident?”
“Sir, he is in the ICU.”
“His attender is sitting on a chair over there. You can see him.”
“Oh… Okay, I’ll handle it.”
As Guru came closer…
“Excuse me…”
Both of them were shocked to see each other.
(You already know what happened between them earlier.)
“You… how… here?”
“I’m Raghu’s friend, Sir.”
“Oh… Is that so?”
“Okay… How is Raghu doing?”
“Hmm… He’s okay, Sir.”
“Can I see him now?”
“He’s sleeping well right now. Also, this is the ICU ward. We can’t see him frequently. They’ll shift him to a normal ward once he’s stable. You can see him then, Sir.”
“Oh… Okay, okay.”
“Where is his wife?”
“She went home to freshen up. She’ll be back soon.”
“Ohh I see… Hmm.”
“Okay… You look very tired.”
“Oh no… Shall we have tea at the canteen?”
“No… It’s okay, Sir.”
“Please come… I feel like having tea.”
“Hmm… Okay, Sir.”
Both of them had tea and talked.
“Haan… What did you say your name was?”
“Ravi, Sir.”
“Haan… Ravi… Ravi… My name is Gurusamy. Everyone calls me Guru.”
“Hmm, Sir.”
“That day we fought in anger… Please forget about it. I am really sorry for that.”
“Ayyo… What are you saying, Sir? No need for that. I’m also sorry, Sir. Please forgive me too.”
“Oh common Mr. Ravi… Forget all that now. From now on, we are good friends. Okay?”
“Haan… Okay, Sir.”
“So you took leave from office today for your friend?”
“No, Sir… I don’t have a job.”
“What? I don’t understand.”
“Yes, Sir…”
Ravi explained everything — how he was removed from his job, his family situation — without hiding anything from Guru.
“Oh… Because you were blacklisted, you couldn’t find work. Why don’t you just join Velu’s company?”
“No, Sir… That won’t be right. My wife already works there… that’s why.”
“I understand… I understand…”
“How do you know Raghu?”
“Man, are you joking? Velu is my friend. Raghu is related to Velu. Not only that, Raghu runs the canteen in both the factories that are under my partnership. I’m the one who gave him that contract.”
“You both are friends, yet you didn’t even know what work he does?”
“We are friends, Sir. Not very close like family or anything.”
“Yesterday we were in Ooty. Velu Sir got the call. Since he couldn’t come, I came. Krithika is a good girl. After all, he is my friend… that’s why I came.”
“Okay… okay…”
“Ravi, if I get you a good job in the IT field itself, will you take it?”
“Sir… What are you saying? I’m blacklisted in IT…”
“If I give it to you…”
“I’ll be very grateful, Sir.”
“No need for thanks. I just felt like helping you. That’s all.”
“Sir… One small request…”
“Tell me, Ravi…”
“No one — not Velu, not Raghu — should know that you got me this job. Please, Sir.”
“Hmm… Okay, Ravi. I’ll arrange the job and let you know. Save my number.”
“One minute, Sir… Ayyo… My phone is switched off. I’ll give you my wife’s number. Call that. I’ll get your number from her later.”
“Tell me your wife’s number…”
“9750****34”
“Her name?”
“Adhi…”
“Oh… Okay, Ravi. I’ll check.”
“Okay, Sir…”
“Ravi, tell me your number too. I’ll save it.”
“Haan, note it down, Sir… 97888****8”
“Okay… Bye, Ravi.”
“Bye, Sir…”
Velu’s car, in which Adhi was traveling, stopped in front of the big hospital in the main area of Coimbatore.
Soon everyone arrived. They all inquired about Raghu’s condition. Many people from Raghu’s canteen also came and inquired. Adhi overheard one of them talking:
“Yesterday Raghu Sir’s face didn’t look right at all… like he had lost something. Not only that, a man who never drinks had drunk and driven, which caused the accident. What can I say…”
Hearing this, Adhi felt that something was not right.
After handing the car over to Velu, as they were about to leave, Adhi told them she would speak to Krithika and went to her. She took Krithika aside privately.
“Krithika… I heard Raghu Anna was drunk and driving… They’re also saying his mind wasn’t in the right place yesterday…”
“So… what you told me… it really happened?”
“Yes, Akka…” Krithika started crying. Adhi hugged her and comforted her.
“How did this happen, dear? You said you wouldn’t agree to it…”
“I did say no, Akka… But my family is also important. What could I do? If Raghu had been fine… if he hadn’t made mistakes… this situation wouldn’t have come for both of us.”
“I understand, Krithika… Don’t cry… don’t cry…”
“How did Raghu Anna come to know about this matter?”
“Everything happened while he was there…” Krithika cried even more.
Adhi was frozen in shock.
“What are you saying…?”
“Yes, Akka… Everything happened while he was present. This man gave me away to that person without showing any anger… The next day he poured all his rage on me. He didn’t even speak properly to the child yesterday. He drank… drove after drinking and ended up like this…”
“Last night when I called, he didn’t pick up at all. Later the security officer station called and told me everything. I came immediately last night.”
“Who is the man who put you in this situation? You won’t even tell me who he is…”
“Akka… Please… Don’t ask me that…”
“Hmm… Okay. Now you stay with Anna and take care of him. We’ll think about the rest later. I’ll leave now.”
That Night…
“Adhi, give me your phone. Did you get any missed calls?”
“Yes… I got one. I called back but there was no response.”
“Why?”
“I’ll tell you later… Tell me that number.”
“Here… This is the number…”
“Adhi, this week I’ll tell you a surprise.”
“What is it?”
“Wait, Adhi…”
“Haa…”
“Hmm…”
Before going to sleep, lying on the bed, Adhi thought about Krithika and felt deep sorrow.
Realizing that Krithika’s life had become complicated because her husband found out about her affair, for the first time, a deep fear took root in Adhi’s mind regarding her relationship with Velu.
She even started thinking whether she should end her relationship with Velu.
But in the end, without taking any decision, Adhi fell asleep.
The sun was yet to rise fully, but the sky had begun to lighten slightly. Adhi woke up slowly from her sleep. She opened her eyes and found herself lying in the open, covered only by a blanket with no clothes on her body. She turned to see Velu sleeping beside her, completely naked just like her.
