Uma certainly would not know this. But, of all, I am sure she would be worried of about this, if she knew it. Thank God, its less probable that she would come to know of this.
How can it be ? My Umadevi Antharjanam is almost 200 kilometres away. And I am in this corner.
I can see you all laughing at me. 200 or 2000, kilometres are not an indicator of distance these days. Messages (information) reaches in nano seconds, however kilometers they are away.
That's not the point here. It's about what happened to me yesterday. I have been vegetating and that's why I have been totally silent all these days. But , what you think has happened yesterday to change my hybernation ? If you can't guess, well... I'll tell you straight away. It's Ionia again !!
On Monday afternoon, I got a call. I could n't make out who's on the line. An unknown number. Ok... let me answer the call. I pressed the green button and ...
"Saaar..." a loud call, and a pause. I couldn't make out the voice.
"Saaaar.... Ionia ... enne maranno.. ?'
Oh.. God, it was Ionia on the line.
Ionia, you know was with me for sometime. She and her mother used to visit my place, at least on special occassions. Both of them were happy to shower their blessings on me. She left me for a higher paid and home-closeby job. We both were happy about that. Afterall, she had to take care of her mother.
The call was surprising, as I didn't expect a call from Ionia atall. But she called.
"Saar ... enne maranno ..? she asked me again.
"No...No.. No... Ionia, njaan engine marakkum. Orikkalum marakkan kazhiyaatha aalalle thaan ... " I said in a low tone.
" Saar naale free aano ? njaan varatte ? enikkonnu saarine kaananam.."
" Nalle leave aano ..?" I asked her a question, instead of answering her question.
" Alla... leave eduthu varaam.."
"Oho.. vannoloo.. njan ivide veettil thanne kaanum.." I said.
"eppol varum " I asked her.
" Saar .. njan naale raavile hospitalil pokum. Doctorne kandittu avide varaam... oru pathinonnu manikku... varatte ?'
"Varoo... ucha bhakshanam njaan karuthi vaykkaam... ivide vannu kazhikkaam.. entha.."
"OK saar... naale kaanaam" and she closed the call.
I looked at the screen to see the caller disconnected.
Ionia is coming tomorrow. That's a golden opportunity to make and enjoy a few golden moments. But Ionia must be planning something else, although she'll certainly be happy for the merry making.
What could it be ? What's that Ionia wants from me now ? Some money ? No chance. Some other help ? May be ..! Let come what may. I started preparing for Ionia's visit.
