Ajay

Physics Teacher ahh??

Though its a bit embarrassing that I don't even know what subject she is teaching, I am happy that I came to know it atleast now before its too late. But Physics? Seriously?

When I was in my high school, the one and only subject I hated was Physics. I dont know why but I found it very difficult to solve all those problems. I used wonder how Physics Teachers are so brainy and how they could learn all those. According to me, Physicists are extraordinary brainy people. Was my wife too a brainy one? I never knew it.

We continued talking more about our academics and eventually the talk went to some other topics. I learned something about her. Sreedevi is more into fictional stories and characters. The girl who was so silent turned more comfortable and chirpy when fictional characters topic came out of nowhere.
The papers were long forgotten as she talked about her favorite fantasy story.

This was actually the longest conversation we have ever had and I dont mind if it longs all the day. It feels so peaceful to talk to her. I felt genuinely happy and it doesn't make me feel awkward instead it makes me feel joyful. I have completely forgot that there is a world outside, talking to her because at that moment, that conversation meant more.

"Enak intha mathiri oru peaceful aana surrounding la... Oru sathamum illama... Oru sofa la ukanth book padikanum.. Athaan pudikum.. En veetla enga amma epo paaru kathukite irupanga..." Sreedevi said and sighed.

I chuckled.

"I know.. Namma oru vaati theme park ponom nyabagam iruka? Appo naa 7th padichit irunthen nu nenaikren"

Sreedevi thought for a minute.

"Ama naa apo 4th or 5th padichit irunthen.. Nyabagam iruku"

"Haan.. Apo nee enga kooda ellam velada mata.. pesa mata.. Epovume aunty koodaye suthit irupa la.. Apo antha giri illa..?"

"Ama..." She leaned forward.

"Avan vanthu unna pathi enga kitta neraya kutham sonnaan.. Nee velada matingra pesa matingra.. Attitide kamikra apdinu.."

"Hmm?" Sreedevi placed her fist under her cheek and listened.

"Aprom un amma kitta poyi complaint pannan avan... Athuk unga amma unna kathikite irunthanga..."

"Apdiya? Ithu enak nyabagam illa.."

"Ama pothuvave aunty un kitta satham potute irupanga.."

"Ama Ajay yen pottu vekkala.. Yen mai ezhuthula..yen poo vechukala.. Yen pathram kazhuvala.. Yen thuni thovakala.. Yen inga nikra.. Yen anga nikura... Yen ukanth iruka..apdinu kelvi mela kelvi ketite irupanga.. " she says in a stretch and sighed tiredly.

I just nodded. It is the first time Sreedevi talking about her mom to me. I never knew that she was so fed up with her mom.

Her phone rang loudly.

"Nooru aayusu" she said raising the phone which showed 'Amma'.

She turned the phone silent and kept it aside.

"Eduth pesu Sreedevi" I said.

"Venam.. Antha Geetha kalyanam varuthu la.. Atha pathi etho solla thaan call panranga.. Ipo atha pathi pesa enak mood illa" she simply shrugs.

"Ama la Geetha marriage la? Namma inga irunth 19th annaik polama.. 20th thane wedding"

"Neenga wedding poringala??"

"Ama.. Enak avunga call panni vanthe aaganum nu sonnanga.. And Geetha kalyanam epdi attend panama iruka mudiyum.. Ava namma kalyanathuk 5 naal munnadiye vantha.."
