Small Story 741
Life Is Beautiful – 86
Vasanthi smiled and replied, “You can still call me Mummy. And you are my Kaadhambari, my friend’s precious gift.”
Anusha Madam was delighted to hear Vasanthi’s affectionate words. She walked towards Vasanthi, hugged her warmly, and whispered, “You are mine too.”
Kaadhambari came close to Vasanthi and said, “Thank you. I love you,” and hugged her affectionately.
Atkinson and his wife Elizabeth were delighted to witness this beautiful moment. The genuine bond that had developed over the past 23 years was clearly visible to everyone. It was a touching moment filled with love, affection, and togetherness.
After spending some time with them, Atkinson and Elizabeth departed, promising to attend the marriage ceremony the next day.
Ram said, “I am really excited and happy to see the beautiful bonding that has developed over all these years. It is truly wonderful.”
After that, Vasanthi asked Ram to have some tea and then go with her. She took him around the house and showed him all the rooms, explaining how Anusha Madam had maintained the house with great care and affection.
While showing him around, Vasanthi slowly whispered with a smile, “In this dress, you look even more handsome. I feel really blessed that tomorrow I will be your Vasanthi.”
Ram smiled and replied, “That is true. I too feel blessed that my beautiful Vasanthi will be mine from tomorrow. You look very beautiful in this dress.”
Vasanthi smiled, lowered her eyes, and felt shy.
After having tea at around 4 p.m., Ram left with Kaadhambari for his guest house, leaving Vasanthi at home.
While they were on their way, Kaadhambari said, “I never dreamed that you would become so close to my life. I never imagined that one day our relationship would become so special.”
Ram smiled and replied, “Until I met Vasanthi again, I never knew that my life would take such a beautiful turn. And, above all, you became the cementing factor who brought Vasanthi and me together. I will always remember that, Kaadhambari.”
Kaadhambari smiled affectionately, touched by Ram’s words.
