chapter 5

Akhil woke up brightly in the morning. He’s going to execute his first step.

That day was a Saturday. It’s a holiday for Ezhil. So, he knew that Magi would bring Ezhil. For this reason, only, he didn’t get down from the car yesterday.

He guessed Magi’s feelings correctly. If he got down from the car yesterday, then she wouldn’t bring Ezhil today. Sumire would take care of Ezhil as usual.

He knew Magi’s character from the detective report. She didn’t allow anyone to speak to Ezhil much. Akhil understood the reason for her behavior. Magi feared that if anyone talked to Ezhil well and asked about his father that would create problem in their peaceful life.

Even though Japanese never interact in others personal matters, many foreigners were living there. So, Magi feared and maintained distance from others. She didn’t allow Ezhil to interact with anyone.

Before a year in the day care, a mother of Ezhil’s friend who was also an Indian asked Ezhil about his father. In the meantime, Magi came to pick Ezhil from the school, Magi heard her words clearly.

Magi controlled her emotions and said Ezhil’s father name was Akhil Nandhan. She didn’t allow Ezhil to speak and babbled something about Akhil. Poor girl!

That lady stopped to talk with Ezhil and Magi after that incident. So, Magi didn’t allow anyone to interact with Ezhil, other than Nishi and Sumire.

Akhil didn’t know this incident. But he understood from the report that she was safeguarding herself and Ezhil from unwanted nuisance.

Akhil guessed the same reason when he saw Magi and Ezhil in the birthday party itself. Magi was always with Ezhil. She allowed Ezhil to talk to others, but she was in the audible range of Ezhil like a bodyguard.

Akhil thought that it was not good since it would affect Ezhil’s confidence. But that was not her mistake.

Magi came to the hotel with her son as Akhil expected. They checked all the security equipment inch by inch where Ezhil was with them. Ezhil frequently asked some questions to her mom.

Akhil wondered when Magi replied with perfect answers. She handled him very well. Akhil was completely in a dreamland with his son. He didn’t concentrate in Magi’s words.

Finally, they came to kids play area where in a corner Akhil saw small deposits of river soil. Ezhil wanted to play in the soil.

Akhil asked, ”Why it is placed here?”

Magi replied, ”Actually we Indians won’t allow our children to play in the soil because they may get cold or fever. But Japanese says that playing in the soil will improve children’s immune power. That’s why this arrangement in the playing area.”

This novel is published on a different platform. Support the original author by finding the official source.

“Wow! When talking to you, I’m getting lot of free ideas. Soon I’ll implement this arrangement in my hotel too.”

“Will you join as my business advisor?” Akhil laughed.

“If you praise me openly, then I’ll ask a huge amount as salary “, Magi kidded.

“I’m an ordinary businessman and not a software manufacturer like you. So kindly reduce it.”

“Are you kidding? You have ordered a lot of things in our company. It costs my one-year salary. Don’t cheat me. Then I’ll ask extra money for this kidding”, she threatened falsely.

They laughed. Akhil felt Magi’s laughter as soft music. She attracted him more and more.

They came to the hotel’s swimming pool. Akhil asked, ”Do you know swimming Ezhil?”

He replied no.

Akhil, ”I’m a state champion in swimming. May I teach you now?”

Ezhil looked at her mom. She didn’t know what to say. She believed Akhil because he maintained dignity with her and didn’t enquire about her family.

Akhil and Ezhil went to get spare dress for swimming from the hotel. They came after changed into the swimming costume.

Magi felt uneasy when saw Akhil’s costume. So, she moved a little from the place and sat in the seating area. She couldn’t hear their conversation from that place. But she saw Ezhil’s happiness when he talked to Akhil.

Magi felt that if she married legally then Ezhil would get a father like Akhil.

She shocked, ”How can I think like this?”

Akhil was easily merged with Ezhil. He was little adamant like all single children. Otherwise Magi brought him very well. Akhil understood Magi and Ezhil.

Akhil felt that he was very close to Ezhil than his sibling’s children. Ezhil grasped all the techniques that Akhil taught to him and did it in front of Akhil happily.

Ezhil talked about his friends, Nishi and Sumire. Akhil felt thankful for Sumire and Nishi who was supporting Magi and Ezhil.

After an hour they came from the swimming pool. Akhil, Ezhil and Magi had their lunch together. Akhil and Magi were discussing where Ezhil slept in her lap.

“Magi you should visit my hotels in India so that you can decide the measurements of the security equipment and security camera angles. If your MD sends you to India, then I’ll be happy.”

“It’s my small obligation. Nishi is also speaking Tamil but I’m comfortable with you. May be as we both are Indians I’m feeling like this. So, you please come and prepare a report for us. It’s just a trip of five days. Consider it”, he said.

“Will see later”, she said simply.

When she went to office on Monday, she had received an order to go to India with Akhil. She got doubt on Akhil. Later she consoled herself by telling Ezhil was the reason for her doubt.

Yesterday Akhil was the hot topic for Ezhil. ”Mom! Akhil uncle teach me a lot. He tells me joke. He is so handsome.” He talked only about Akhil. That made her to hesitate.

Above all he questioned, “Does my father looks like Akhil uncle?”

Magi couldn’t answer. Tears flooded her eyes and spilled down her cheeks.

”What happened mom?” the boy didn’t know the reason for her tears. But after that he stopped talking about Akhil.

Magi thought that she wanted to meet Sister Mary. She didn’t meet her, after she had come to japan. Also, she was showing Ezhil only via the web cam.

So, she accepted the trip to India.

Her MD said, ” Magi san, Akhil san has given me some papers to get your sign. You do it.”

Magi signed all the papers and took it with her to return it to Akhil.

She told Akhil to come to a hotel where they had to go to view the security equipment that day. He came before her and waited in the conference hall.

She gave the papers to him.

“Is this ok for you Magizhi?”

She replied with a smile, ”Cent percent ok”.

“Then sign these two papers. I missed it before.”

When she was going to sign the papers, Akhil asked whether Ezhil was coming with her or not.

“Yes Akhil”, she signed the papers that was going to decide her fate.

What is that?!
