Uma had a sigh of relief. That's today morning. She was so stressed that a volcano would errupt ! But nothing happened.. Everything's as cool as it should be ! Vasu and his wife reached us yesterday.
Pai was so punctual, he came at 4 pm. After his routine checkup and cleanup, ( and chat with our kitchen), he took the car to the railway station. Yeah, Uma went to the station to receive them. I didn't go.. I've spent the time at my office. However, I was home by 6.30pm. ( I wanted to see the serial in the Amritha TV.. Aranazhika neram.. at 7 in the evening ! ). They reached home by 8 pm , as the train was late by an hour.
After watching the serial, I thought of having a 'small'. Yeah , I had two 'smalls' between 7.30 and 8, before their arrival. When the car reached our gate, Remani gave me a signal as to their arrival. I decided to receive them right at the entrance. So, I went to the car park (garage) to receive them. Vasu was so happy to be with me. On getting down from the car, he came to me and embraced.. an old friend reinforcing the friendship... I responded in the same manner. Uma took the lead to introduce her Kunjamma. She came to me and said "Maamma... this is my Kunjamma.... You haven't seen her earlier , I know ...". Kunjamma smiled at me and I too responded with a smile. I invited them in. Remani was at the drawing room... and they came in.
Kunjamma, looked different, certainly beyond my imagination. My image about Kunjamma was that of a stout tall tough lady. But I am wrong... She is lean and short, beautiful and soft spoken lady. She has a large circular bright face ... a large red bindi ('pottu') adorns that. Looks great... grand. And she, with a pale complexion, is beautiful. But I think her sense of color is poor; she was wearing a mismatch in colors. I'll talk to Uma on that ...
I shall tell you more later... Await !!!
