《Dimensions of love》 chapter 1 The Japanese city of Osaka is one of the most expensive cities in the world. There in Kandha station, our heroine Magizhini stayed in a compact single bedroom flat. Though it was a Sunday she was getting ready to the office. The weather was extremely cold. The floors of her flat were made up of wood and had underfloor heating system to give natural warmness. But her petite body felt numb cause of that extreme cold weather, so she wrapped her coat tightly around herself. She''s feeling homesick out of the blue. She didn''t have any relatives waiting for her return in India. It can also be said in an opposite way that they didn''t want her there. While thinking about those relatives Magi''s heart felt tightened with sadness. When she lost her both mom and dad in an accident, her relatives took her asserts. They didn''t show any concern on her during her mourning period. Also they never welcomed her because they were not ready to give back her asserts. Those asserts were part of her inheritance from her paternal grandfather and her own father. As for now she was heavily pregnant. Her delivery date was nearing. Doctors mentioned her in previous appointment that her due date would be in next two weeks. But she had not yet taken her maternity leave. Actually she planned to take it from next week. She came to Japan exactly before six months from India. Even though this country and its citizens gave her a lot of love, she missed Chennai and its noisy cozy environment. During her chain of thoughts, her son started to play a mini football match in her womb. Yes, it''s a boy. There was no restriction in Japan to know the sex of the unborn child. So she knew it. Here in Japan there was no need for Magi to worry about the office. These people were very sweet and concerned. They just expected to finish her assigned work and nothing more than that. Magi was also perfectly doing her work here. That''s why she was going to the office now. Even though it was a Sunday, her workaholic nature urged her to finish her work today itself. Also she had nothing to do in Sundays as a lonely nerdy person. When they called from office to let her know about a small bug in the code she created that had to be delivered before Monday, she couldn''t neglect it because of their kindness and kindness towards her in previous months she was working for them. She reached her office by monorail where Nishimura was waiting for her in the entrance. She smiled at him knowingly. "What Nishimura san? Don''t you have any plans to enjoy your week end? Why you leave Sumire alone in home?" she asked with concern without gave any gap to speak in between. "She only sent me to help you Magi san. You know we all are worrying about you. You denied not only to stay with us but also with my parents and in-laws too. How can we let you alone at this heavily pregnant state? I don''t want you to walk around and make tired of yourself. That''s why I came here to pick up", he said innocently. She thought that she got him as a friend because of her virtues in previous birth. Yes he was the one and only best friend in this unknown country. He is more than a friend of her. "It''s too much. I''m staying next to your flat, right?" she repaid for his compliments. "Ok, I don''t want to blame you for that. Please be relax", he told in Tamil and surrendered by raising his hands. Yes, Nishimura knew Tamil very well. He learned it when he had stayed for a project in Chennai for two years. Japanese culture is very popular in the worldwide. They prefer discipline and respect like us Tamilians. They even use ''chan'' to call their children and ''san'' to call elders. Both chan and san were the honorific terms in Japanese language similar to our ''inga'' in Tamil language to show our respect. Japanese started to teach about family values and time management from childhood itself. They mostly preferred family environment like our Tamil people. Magi felt thankful inside to Nishi san for his kindness. When she was working, she didn''t mind her unusual lower back pain and inconvenience in the womb. She completed her work around 4pm and took her hand bag to depart. Nishimura was still waiting for her in the car parking while playing some games in his mobile phone. When Magi spotted Nishi at the car parking she asked, "Why are you still waiting for me Nishi san? I already told you I''ll book a cab and come home safely, right?" Even though she told him like that, she felt secure with his presence today without any reason. May be that''s cause of her mother''s instinct about the upcoming delivery? Nishi just smiled for her words without any reply and opened the passenger side door of the car for her to sit. He ignited the engine to move towards their home and played some light melodious music soothing to their ears. Surprisingly she felt a sharp pain in her abdomen that was unbearable and nerve wrecking for her. Magi felt that her lower back bones were crushing. She was scared. She couldn''t bear the pain. She controlled her fast breathing and gnashed her teeth. She asked Nishi in a husky tone cause of her breathless condition, "Can we go to the hospital?" Nishi got tensed of that situation. He realized that Magi was experiencing her labour pain. Yes. Though she didn''t tell her pain in words, her excessive sweating in this cold weather, her redden face and the lips arrested between her whitish teeth showed Nishi the amount of the pain that Magi was bearing. Nishi was little embarrassed and in his hurry towards the hospital, he dashed with a luxury car which was running in the next lane. That car''s emergency alarm started to sound. Nishi managed somehow and stopped his car that went out of control because of the hit. But Magi''s situation didn''t want him to do it. So he tried to start the car again. The car was not started at the moment. Nishi felt helpless. When he turned towards Magi, she was unconscious due to the unbearable pain and fear caused by that minor accident. Nishi didn''t know what to do at that time. He tried to wake her up by shaking her shoulders. But she didn''t even budge. He checked her breath with his shaking hands and trembling heart. He felt her mild breathing and gained little confidence. He went out of the car and approached the car which he dashed in the next lane. In that car, there was a tall handsome guy sitting at the driver seat and staring somewhere without any intense. He didn''t mind the blowing alarm too. He was completely emotionless. Nishi managed to look through the window and saw that the guy was completely ok. So Nishi knocked on his window. "Help, help", Nishi shouted in urgency. That guy budged at last, he opened the window and stopped the blazing alarm. Nishi told about his friend''s situation in Japanglish (like our Tamil + English= Tanglish).Yes, Nishi was not fluent in English. The tall guy understood Nishi from his hand signs that someone was not well in that car. He quickly stepped out of the car. For a moment Nishi was stunned to see his height regardless of the situation at hands. The tall guy reached Nishi''s car in just two steps. He opened the passenger side door, removed Magi''s seat belt and took her out without any delay. He carried Magi with care like a piece of valuable antique porcelain glass.Support the creativity of authors by visiting the original site for this novel and more. The tall guy realized that her pants were wet as her water broke and soon the delivery would be. So they rushed to the hospital in that guy''s car. Once they entered in to the hospital premises, the staffs rushed Magi to the emergency room. Nishimura filled all the necessary details in the admission form for Magi. Once Nishi filled the form, he moved to the corridor to inform his wife about Magi''s health condition. The tall guy was standing there in a corner. It seemed like he wanted to know about Magi''s condition before he left. Nishi spotted that tall guy and came to thank him for his timely help. Nishi asked the guy, "Are you an Indian?" "Yes", he replied. "Do you know Tamil?" Nishi asked. He replied with a smile, "Yes, I know". The tall guy felt relieved when Nishi spoke to him in his mother tongue Tamil because he tried hard to understand Nishi''s English accent. A Japanese English pronunciation sometimes sounds like Japanese to strangers because of their accent. In Japan there was no need to study English since all their books were in Japanese. They had translated almost all the famous books in all languages. Even they translated our Thirukkural too. That''s why some of them had no interest in learning impeccable English. When Nishi''s mobile was ringing, "You please wait here, I''ll come", Nishi excused to that guy and went to attend his wife Sumire''s call. The tall guy thought mistakenly that Magi was Nishi''s wife since Nishi took a lot of effort to save her and cared her. Also Nishi told him that he was married. So it''s quite natural to think like that. Is it a game of fate?! After sometime the nurse gave the newborn baby to the tall guy because he was the only person waiting in front of the emergency room. The nurse said, "Male child". He was the first person who carried Magi''s child. He was very excited when holding the baby and got goosebumps all over his body. The nurse thought that he was Magi''s husband and asked his name in Japanglish (Japanese + English). "Akil Nandhan ", he said without questioning her because he was dazed by that pristine moment. The space which was left by Nishimura in the admission form was filled now. Yes, the father''s name of the new born baby was filled as Akil Nandhan. The nurse filled it perfectly. Is this twist of fate? Without knowing the truth that the baby was his very own flesh and blood, the tall guy felt happy when holding the infant. His fatherly instincts were awaken up by the baby''s smile. Other than the baby he forgot the worldly things. Is this really a game of fate? Akil was fully merged with the child. Nishi came after he answered the call. But Akil was not ready to handover the child. He wanted to hold the infant. Nishi excited, "Wow little princess arrived". Akil couldn''t understand his slang. Akil didn''t give the child to Nishi. He hesitated to do that. He feared for the first time in his life whether Nishi took the child from him. Nishi started cooing the child in Japanese. Akil''s mobile was ringing that time. So he handed the child to Nishi heartlessly. "You''ve flight in the evening sir. It''s getting late now", his PA told him very politely. "Ok, I''ll be there", he replied. He kissed the child''s forehead fondly and blessed wholeheartedly. He bade good bye to Nishi and reached the hospital entrance. Suddenly he remembered about the mother of that newborn baby who was unconscious, when he had admitted. He enquired about her in the reception and knew that she was safe. He moved. When he was going to the airport, he thought about the receptionist word on the way. "Is she your relative sir? She controlled her pain very well and didn''t make any noise. She''s very mature at this small age. Many ladies prefer C-section because they feared about the labor pain. But she didn''t tell do to C-section even though she had severe pain. It''s amazing to see a girl like her nowadays" Akil shook his head to clear his thoughts, "Why I''m thinking about her?" Nishi was playing with the infant until Magi was shifted to the normal ward. He likes children very much. But in Japan the school fees are so expensive. Also parents won''t spend money for their children''s marriage. The children should save money themselves for their marriage. Nishi and Sumire had spent their entire savings for their marriage. So they planned to wait for the baby until they saved enough. When Magi entered to her room, Nishi was playing with the baby. She felt her long last mother in Nishi. She was emotional due to the hormonal war just happened inside her. The Media who are criticizing women''s mood swings completely forget to think about her hormonal changes. These criticism start from puberty and continues every month till menopause. The changes in her appearance and the pain are their subject to make fun. Those comments make her weak both emotionally and physically. Nowadays girls are attaining puberty at the age of ten. Parents should guide those children to handle their mood swings. Girl children are usually celebrated by their parents up to their marriage. Then after marriage girls are moved to a completely different environment where they initially struggle a lot to adapt. During her pregnancy, she has mood swings. After delivery, the changes in her appearance make her worried. The critics, bad comments and above all the body shaming leads women to a worst condition. It''s pity that many women have forgotten to realize their beauty and the normal body changes due to the media that portrays those women as ugly. In that situation our complete knowledge and understanding about the human body helps us to recover. Let''s do it and educate our girl child too. Magi smiled at her child with happy tears that rolled down from her attractive eyes. "God has sent you to accompany me since I''m alone. From now I''m not an orphan. Nishi san, see I''ve a son for me. I too have a family", she babbled through her tears. "Yes, Magi san", he replied and controlled his brimming tears. Nishi went out of the room because he thought to give Magi some private time with the baby. She touched her baby carefully and the nurse helped her to carry the child. When feeding him, she forgot her past, her sorrows and everything. Magizhini was reborn with her newborn baby boy. Yes, the boy gave her a new identity. "A mother" The nurse asked her the child''s name to fill in the birth certificate. She already selected a name. This baby was going to give beautiful moments to her life. So she chose a name regarding that in Tamil as "Ezhilan". Even at the time of birth this little naughty guy made his parents meet! Let''s see what are all going to change in her life?! Total Nishimura family was helping Magi and playing with the kid. She felt that her son was so lucky to have them all. Magi was busy with the kid all the time. Sometimes she was unaware that how to console the crying child and she too started to cry. That made others to feel pity for her. But they understood the importance of this child to Magi''s lonely life. She took child care leave for a year. She felt that her son was a blessing of god. Sumire helped her for the first three months by staying with Magi during the day time. She cooked and prepared medicines for Magi. After a year, Magi''s leave was over. She had to go for her work in the embedded system company where she was working at. So she sent her child to a day care that made her to cry more than her child. In the day care the teacher called Ezhil as Master Akil Nandhan. Magi was shocked to hear it. She checked the birth cerficate countless times. It had father''s name as Akil Nandhan. "How''s this possible?" She called Nishimura and asked him. He was surprised and clueless like her, "I didn''t give this name. How they wrote like this?" Nishi confused. He completely forgot about Akil''s name who helped them during the delivery time. Magi frustrated that the society should not insult her child for not knowing his father''s name. So she left the name as it is. During her pregnancy time, due to the immoral accusations Magi suffered a lot. Many people questioned about her pregnancy before wedlock. So she felt that this father name Akil Nandhan might bring respect and identity to her child. She kept the name as it is. Ezhil was naughty in the day care. He was the master of mischief for all the other kids. Magi and Ezhil were perfectly adapted to the Japanese culture. Their life was smooth. Days passed by. Ezhil became a complete Japanese child. The reason was none other than Nishi and Sumire. They loved Ezhil very much. They said that Ezhil was a citizen of Japan, so he should knew the Japanese culture. Now Ezhil was nearing five years and he was going to the Japanese cultural school. Whenever Ezhil heard Sumire''s "Konnichiwa beibi" (Hi baby), no one could control him. Sumire is pregnant now. The credits go to their five years plan. Till now Sumire took care of Ezhil after his day care time. Akil''s charity and helping tendency were helping his child to grow well, even he was unknown about the child. That too made friendship between Nishimura and Magi?! Ezhil had two mothers Magi and Sumire and a fatherly figured Nishi. They called him ''Morighuchi'' (like Shinchan). That''s his pet name and he''s happy with them. After having Ezhil, Magi felt low very rarely .One of those moments was hanami festival. It''s a national cherry blossom festival of Japan. People around her went to Osaka castle as a picnic and watched while the flowers were in bloom. When seeing them as family, Magi always felt that she wouldn''t have such a family ever in her life. But the pain would vanish once she saw Sumire and Nishi. Magi was seeing Nishi as her father and Sumire as her mother. Every Sunday she and Ezhil went to ''tsurumi riokuchi'' park by monorail. Whenever she saw a father-kid pair in the park, she felt bad for her son. "My son won''t get this kind of father love ever". She used to think like that. Usually she went for walking in the ''yodo gawa'' riverside. Many children were cycling there with their father. Magi would yearn for her father. She was searching for her lost father inside. She''s missing those family values! Today... It''s Ezhil''s fifth birthday. They were celebrating in a famous restaurant. Even though he didn''t ask for a gift, God had sent his father to him as a gift. For a man, his wife and children are the world. Will see Akil get his world? If Akil won''t get his world then even the ''Amaterasu'' (Japanese sun goddess) can''t save Magi from him. chapter 2 Chapter-2 It¡¯s Ezhil¡¯s fifth birthday! They were celebrating in a restaurant without Nishimura. He hag gone to deal a project issue that showed up suddenly. Magi and Sumire were there with some office friends. All were enjoying the food, interesting games and karaoke. At the end of the event Ezhil cut the birthday cake and Magi was serving the pieces to everyone. By chance at the time Akil who stayed in the same hotel for a business deal came to the restaurant to have his dinner. There a glittering billboard welcomed him as ¡°Happy birthday master Nandhan¡±. He was surprised to see a name like his second name on the board. When he took a swift turn to reach the dining area, he felt a flower bouquet kind of thing bumped into him. Akil looked down to know about the thing that he dashed with, where a tall lean boy was lying on the floor as he dashed on Akil. He helped Ezhil and asked about his safety in Tamil as his usual habit. Then only Akil realized that the boy may not know Tamil and asked in English, ¡±Are you alright baby?¡± Ezhil smiled and replied, ¡±Yes, I¡¯m alright mister and I could understand Tamil too¡±. He winked at the concern looking Akil and ran away. Akil was shocked and moved by his mischievous gesture. Moreover the boy exactly looked like him which made Akil stunned. Akil had the same facial features like the boy he dashed, during his childhood. The boy has the same face and bone structure except the skin tone. The boy looked little bit fair than Akil. Akil felt giddy and took a nearest seat in the restaurant area. He clenched his teeth in anger. The reason was none other than the boy he dashed before. ¡°Mummy¡±, the boy called. ¡°What Ezhil darling?¡± replied the most beautiful looking Magizhi and she came to Ezhil. After seeing her Akil¡¯s anger shifted onto her. Now he confirmed his suspicion since Magi looked beautiful. It¡¯s his womanizing brother Anil¡¯s work! Anil was his younger brother. Both Akil and Anil didn¡¯t have any similarities in appearance, character and in behavior too. If Akil was Lord Rama who was known for his fidelity among Hindu gods, then Anil was the Dhuriyodhana who was known for his antics towards helpless woman. All the Japanese ladies were shining as impeccable Porcelain dolls in the party. Among them Magi was shining as a moon. Even the small pinkish pimples in her face were shining as a precious elegantly cut ruby stones for Akil. She didn¡¯t aware of the fact that all men were looking at her and ready to fall for her. Akil usually treated every woman as his sister but this woman Magi was playing with his manly needs. She attracted him like magnet towards iron. So Akil thought that because of her external beautiful appearance, his brother had done anything for her to share bed with him. Akil was still wondering what¡¯s in her that was so special and attracting all men around her including him to fall for her in a wink. Even though Akil doubted her as his brother¡¯s mistress something in him didn¡¯t let him to think so low of her. That¡¯s why he assumed that the girl was cheated by his brother and the child belonged to his brother Anil. Akil Nandhan came from a well-established business family in India. He had born with silver spoon. But others didn¡¯t know the amount of his hard work, sleepless nights and stresses he was bearing to keep his family in that position. He¡¯s the only person in the family who took care of all the businesses single handily now. Akil¡¯s father ¡®Vijay Nandhan¡¯ was the only son to his father ¡®JeyNandhan¡¯. JeyNandhan loved his wife very much. So he suited half of his wife¡¯s name Vijaya to his son. When Vijay Nandhan was 17years old, his mother died due to terminal illness. His father buried himself into businesses to overcome his life partner loss and earned a lot. He sent Vijay abroad for his studies, as he couldn¡¯t take care of him, where Vijay spoilt beyond repair. Vijay had fun in father¡¯s money, while all the other students were working hard for their studies. JeyNandhan was very upset with Vijay because he knew Vijay was unfit to continue and handle his business. When Vijay returned to India, he loved a girl called Kamala. She¡¯s from a poor family background but lousy and greedy girl. She wanted to present herself as a rich noble woman in front of others. For that she took loans as advances in salary to have parties and bought loans from friends to buy makeup things and accessories. What a perfect match to Vijay?!If you come across this story on Amazon, it''s taken without permission from the author. Report it. She got pregnant to get hold of Nandhan family assets. So using that pregnancy as a reason, Vijay and Kamala registered their marriage legally. When they told these things to JeyNandhan, he was fully collapsed. Already Vijay was a useless fellow. Now his wife too joined with him. Jey could guess the unfortunate future of the great Nandhan family very well. When Akil was born Jey had gained some confidence. Akil resembled his grandfather much in both physique and actions. So Jey decided to make him as his soul descendant. He brought up Akil in a strict way. Within three months of Akil¡¯s birth Kamala was pregnant again with her second baby. So Jey took total care of Akil. Kamala delivered a twin baby Anil and Anila and she was busy with these two and with her husband Vijay. So Grandfather was the only person in the family to whom Akil was so close and shared everything. Vijay and Kamala took care of the twins, so the twins behaved like their parents. Akil multiplied his grandfather¡¯s hotel business. The three star hotel chains of his family became a five star hotel chains. His parents and siblings were surprised to see his enormous growth in business. They showered loads of pretended love on Akil. But as a genuine person Akil loved them whole heartedly. Akil gave money to them whenever they asked. He bought properties in their name that made them even worse. Akil didn¡¯t know about their greedy intensions well, since he didn¡¯t have time to spend with them. His grandfather Jey was watching all these family dramas silently in the background. One day when everything went out of hand, Jey warned Vijay, ¡±Why are you all cheating Akil? He is buying properties in your name but you are selling those for a low amount without his knowledge. It¡¯s wrong. You should not cheat your own son.¡± Vijay tried to interrupt him. But Jey continued as, ¡°Wait till I complete. Last week he registered a property in Kamala¡¯s name. Its value is one crore in Indian money. But before three days you & your wife sold it for 75lakhs with Anil and Anila. Again yesterday Akil bought the same property for one and a half crore. Why are you all making him fool?¡± Vijay was annoyed and said, ¡±Why are you always instructing me what to do and what not to do dad? Don¡¯t you have any affection on my other kids, Anil and Anila? You¡¯re always concerning about Akil only. You don¡¯t even like me dad. You love only Akil. What¡¯s this dad? We are your blood too¡±. Jey was shocked to see his son¡¯s emotional drama and stupid confession. He found that his son was a perfect criminal and diverting him very well by emotionally black mailing him. Jey replied furiously ¡°Don¡¯t talk too much. I¡¯m not a fool to believe your blabbering¡¯s. Are you really my son? I don¡¯t like to see your face. The greediness towards money of your mind covered your eyes. It¡¯s not letting you in the correct path. Just remember a thing. Akil will be married soon. If he gets a good talented wife, then through her he will understand what real love is. After that you couldn¡¯t coax him with your fake words.¡± ¡°My grandson is called as black cheetah in his business circle for his fierceness, do you know that? If he realizes your mistakes, then you will see that face of him one day. Try to correct your mistakes before it happens. Else you all will be in the streets for begging.¡± When Jey finished his advice, Vijay was really shaking in fear. After that incident too, he didn¡¯t correct his mistakes. He did the same thing but secretly. Kamala said to Vijay, ¡±Suppose if your father finds a suitable match for Akil, then we will be affected. So let¡¯s select a bride who will dance to our tune before him.¡± So according to her advice Vijay selected a soft natured girl Shruthi for Akil. Jey too liked Shruthi as she seemed well mannered and good-natured girl. Hence Akil got married at the age of 25 in a grand manner. But the marriage didn¡¯t long last. Shruthi died within four years of marriage life. To console Akil, his grandfather sent him to a world tour. That¡¯s how Akil came to Japan during Magi¡¯s delivery time. He saved that infant in her womb and his mother. When Akil touched the newborn baby, he had realized his mistake of deciding to live an aloof life and leaving business world due to his wife¡¯s loss. But the newborn baby taught him a lesson for life. Yes, Akil realized that how the baby depended Akil during the delivery, many workers were depending on him for their food and other necessities. So he changed his decision to continue business for them. The baby Ezhil gave his father some confidence in life. He saved two lives during that accident in Japan that made him happy and content. So he decided to do help others till the end of his life. He got many ideas from the japan trip and implemented those things in his hotel business that made his grandfather brimming with happiness. But his happiness didn¡¯t exist for a long time because of Anil and Anila. Anil had relationship with many girls simultaneously and became a womanizer that spoiled their family name. Anila was always getting money from Akil even after her marriage. Her husband was a gentleman. His self-respect didn¡¯t allow him to get money from Anila¡¯s family. But she didn¡¯t understand her husband genuine nature and broke with him. Now Anila was staying with Akil with her two male children. Vijay and Kamala said that if Anil got married he would be in correct track. So they chose a girl and did marriage for him. But fate played its part and Anil¡¯s wife was a perfect replica of Kamala! She didn¡¯t care about Anil. They had a son and now she¡¯s telling that her son would be the successor of Nandhan group. Akil refused to do marry again after his wife¡¯s death. His grandfather felt very bad for him since Akil was alone. It suffered him a lot. Grandfather had been bedridden for the past three months. Anila told Anil¡¯s true colour to Akil. She wanted her sons to be the successor of Akil¡¯s properties. So this was the reason for Akil¡¯s misunderstanding about the boy Ezhil. He knew about Anil very well now. Also Magi looked very beautiful. Hence it¡¯s quite natural to think Ezhil was Anil¡¯s son. Akil came to Japan this time for a business deal. He wanted to showcase the Japanese traditional tea making process in his hotel. Also he liked to introduce Japanese masalas and medicines in food festival. Recently he bought a palace in auction for 10years lease, in that he wanted to do interior decoration with Japanese traditional things and put a stall to sell Japanese tea, medicines and spices in his five star hotels. These were the plans he had to improve his hotel business. He had done his research about this work here. Now Akil wanted to find out whether this boy belonged to his family or not. If the boy was part of his family, he planned to bring this child with him to India. He called a detective service working for him and told them to find about the details of Ezhil. ¡°This¡¯s an expensive star hotel. Regardless of that, if she is celebrating a birthday party here means, she has very good background. Why she didn¡¯t come to meet Anil? Either she may be angry? or she doesn¡¯t need any form of support from Anil? How can I handle her?¡±, Akil started to think about this matter as a business man. What happens if the black cheetah knows the truth? Wait and see! ------------------------------------------------------------------ chapter 3 Chapter-3 Akil wanted to know the truth behind Ezhil¡¯s birth. Though he arranged a detective, as an impatient man he couldn¡¯t stay without doing anything by himself. He tired his first move as he wanted to enquire about the boy and mother by himself personally. He searched for the boy in that fortunately less crowded restuarant. At a distance Ezhil was coming in the direction where Akil was sitting. He had a plate with a cake piece. ¡°Hi young man, what¡¯s this?¡± Akil smiled at him ¡°Uncle, this¡¯s for you. Today is my birthday¡±, he said and gave the cake to Akil. Akil talked to him very nicely and got his name, his mother¡¯s name, his school name, his address and the office address of Magi. Magi came to Ezhil after sometime. Ezhil said, ¡±Mom, I became friend with this uncle. He¡¯s talking with me in Tamil like our Nishi uncle¡±. ¡°Ezhil baby, please be quite¡±, she said. She talked to Akil, ¡°Hi sir, I¡¯m Magizhini. Ezhil¡¯s mom. Sorry if he troubles you, sir.¡± ¡°No problem Ms. Magizhi. May I call you as Magizhi?¡± he said. She replied, ¡°Its ok sir¡±. But she thought, ¡±Why he looks like a terror?¡± Akil couldn¡¯t take his eyes from her. She looked tipsy. He was struggling inside to not to see her. ¡°Ok sir, bye¡±, she said and went with Ezhil. Magi couldn¡¯t get sleep that day. Akil¡¯s face came to her often. She thought that she was familiar with the face. She couldn¡¯t forget his eyes. ¡°Why he looked me like a criminal. I didn¡¯t even cheat anyone¡±, she was confused. Not only him all others were scoffed at her when she was pregnant in her twenties. Doctors too mocked at her. If she didn¡¯t have Nishimura friendship, she would be in mental hospital. Nishi took her to japan and arranged a job for her. She swept her tears and her old memories too.You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version. To refresh she ran on the treadmill up to she got tired and took a hot water bath. She wanted to call Sister Mary because she didn¡¯t talk to her recently. But she slept. She didn¡¯t notice the reason why Akil¡¯s face disturbing her lot. She forgot to realize that Akil¡¯s face was similar to his son. There Akil couldn¡¯t get sleep because of Magi. ¡°How is this possible?¡± he was completely mad. He had Ezhil¡¯s birth certificate in hands that showed Akil was the father of the baby. He asked the detective for the update repeatedly. So he sent this birth certificate in whatsapp. Akil couldn¡¯t bear this. He gave some money to the hotel server to secretly collect Ezhil¡¯s hair. He had sent with his own hair to conduct DNA test. It took two hours to know the result. So Akil was extremely tensed. When seeing the date in the birth certificate, he had an idea. He checked the date in his passport. It told him clearly that he was in japan that time. Akil clearly remembered that he helped a pregnant lady and the nurse asked for his name. He decided that it was wrongly written by the nurse. Wrongly written?! Will see¡­ After two hours, he received a call from the lab. He went immediately. The report showed that the samples were matched easily and Akil was the father of Ezhil. Akil was shocked to see it. He thought that it was a conspiracy. After sometime he was cleared. He remembered that he was the first person who carried his son. He realized now that why he felt glad when holding the baby that time. He visualized Ezhil¡¯s infant face. He worried for not knowing the truth before. After some planning he went to bed. He had a good sleep after long time. Due to his speed, wisdom and elegance he was known as black cheetah in the business circle. In the same way he took actions quickly to attain Ezhil. Magi reached office after she dropped Ezhil at school. The receptionist told that her MD was waiting for her. She went into the MD room and shocked because Akil was sitting there with MD. MD said to Magi that Akil was the new client to the company. She said hi to him. He shook his hands with her. She realized from his hands that Akil was working hard in the gym. MD told her, ¡±He is the owner of Nandhan groups. He ordered door security equipments from us. He needs an Indian staff to communicate easily. So i preferred you.¡± She didn¡¯t hear his words fully. She had a new feeling, when Akil touched her hands. She started to think about it. MD told her to show demo to Akil. So Magi and Akil went to a five star hotel where their equipments were already implemented. While travelling in the car, Akil felt that his hidden feelings were started to rise. Magi too experienced a new feeling that she didn¡¯t have it in these 26years. Akil did a silent research on Magi. ¡±Did I see her before? If I saw her, then i couldn¡¯t forget easily. What a lovely face!¡± He looked at her stomach. He wore a Maxi dress with overcoat. It didn¡¯t show anything. Akil appreciated her dressing that showed her dignity. He was happy. He questioned why he felt happy and finally he satisfied with an answer. ¡°If she¡¯s dignified, then my son too.¡± Both of them travelled with a lot of unknown feelings. Will the mystery unravels? ------------------------------------------------------------------ chapter 4

Chapter-4

Akil couldn¡¯t come to a conclusion about Magizhi. He didn¡¯t see her anywhere. Then how¡¯s this possible? He thought in thousand different ways. But only the time reveals the truth. Suddenly a sound disturbed his thoughts. Akil turned to Magi¡¯s side. Magi was only 5feet.There was a gap between her feet and the car floor. When she tried to sit in a comfort way, her sandals fell from her. Akil laughed softly while seeing her childish activity. When we talk about height in front of short people that induces their anger easily! Magi guessed from his reactions. She started to scold him inside. ¡±I¡¯m normal height only. He¡¯s taller like a demon and laughing at me. First he stared at me and now laughing at me. If he continues then I¡¯ll show him my face.¡± Akil guessed her thoughts. A silent drama was going on, where each one read others face effortlessly. Akil was surprised because he didn¡¯t try to mock others. He was naughty only to his wife. Also he had to explain her, if he did any kidding. She was such an innocent wife. She was the only daughter in her family, so she didn¡¯t talk much. Akil always told her that their son would come to speak her out. But she died. Akil came out of his old thoughts. He wanted to know about Magizhi now. He decided to interact with her. He asked about her company¡¯s security equipments and its specialties. The plan worked well. Initially he started just to divert her; later the discussion goes on seriously. She cleared all his doubts. She told about the recent technologies and researches in her field. She said that they were subletting jammers to ensure women safety in five star hotels. It helped to find out the hidden cameras in the hotel bathrooms. They became friends once the discussion was over. They were Magizhi and Akil at the end, yes they shortened their names to call each other. Each one praised others talent inside. Akil was particular in his duty. He said, ¡±Magi, can you do me a favor? I need some ideas for the kids playing area. Can you bring your son when he is free?¡± She thought for a while. He said, ¡±It will take one week to see all the hotels right? You bring him anyone day.¡± She said ok. They reached the destination. Magi demonstrated about the security alarms in the hotel reception. There two pictures attracted Akil very much. In first picture, a garden was completely decorated with lights. In the other picture, a Japanese woman was preparing tea in traditional kimono dress. Akil wanted to know the story behinds these two pictures. So he asked Magi. ¡°The first picture is ¡®Nabana no sato¡¯. It is a winter light festival celebrated at the end of the winter to welcome the upcoming light seasons. The whole park is beautifully decorated with lights.¡± ¡°The second picture is Way of tea. It is related to Japanese hospitality. It¡¯s similar to the British culture where serving tea from the jug to the guest is a pride duty of a home maker.¡± She explained to Akil. She added, ¡±I like Japanese dining table very much where all the family members are sit in seiza (Vajrasana) posture and the homemaker will serve food to all in the same posture. They start to teach their culture from childhood. It¡¯s nice to see the kids in kimono dress and serving tea in the cultural school.¡±Stolen content alert: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences. Akil noticed that she was longing for family. He understood about Magi. After they checked other security equipments in the hotel, they were ready to depart. Magi was little tensed. He understood the reason. It¡¯s getting late. ¡°Anything urgent Magi?¡± he asked innocently. ¡°Yes, I¡¯ve to pick up my son¡±, she said. ¡°Ok then come with me. I¡¯ll drop you on the way to my hotel¡±, he helped. Magi accepted because it was already late. She thought that it was not a trouble to him since the school was on the way to his hotel. She got into the car. He asked, ¡±How are you managing here without a car? I know you are getting a decent salary then why don¡¯t you buy a car?¡± She smiled, ¡±Here we have comfortable public transport and monorails. People mostly use these transportations. They won¡¯t spend money unwantedly¡± They reached the school. Akil wanted to hug and kiss his child but he controlled his feelings. He bade good bye to Magi and didn¡¯t get down from the car. Also he didn¡¯t come to a conclusion about Magi, so still Akil was in confusion. Akil always consulted his grandfather when dealing a problem. But now he couldn¡¯t. He had only 5days to return to India. He understood from her behavior that she was an immature girl. But how she had a kid with me? He questioned himself countless times. He was waiting for the detective report to get a solution. He was very curious to know the result. He took his phone that had Ezhil¡¯s photo. He felt delighted. Akil was cheating himself that he was looking at Ezhil; actually his eyes were enjoyed watching Magi. She was very young than him and gorgeous. He felt a new feeling. He was struck between a storm and breeze. He didn¡¯t know that it was love. Silly guy! The detective sent him the report at night. He did video call to Akil and said that Magi was a nice girl. Akil wanted to know the full details and started to study the report with a coffee. Before he started, he expected that the report should said only good things about Magi. He didn¡¯t love anyone before so he felt that these feelings were symptoms of a new disease. Akil was a tall rich handsome guy in Indian colour. His 6feet and exercise body gave him majestic features. So wherever he went, girls would automatically fall for him. But Magi didn¡¯t look at him with wrong intention. So Akil understood her good character. Finally he read the report. Her name was Magizhini Rajan¡­ Magi¡¯s father name was Rajan and her mother name was Visalakshi. Rajan was the only child in a rich family. He loved Visalakshi who was a poor orphan girl .As usual strong opposition for their love in Rajan¡¯s family. Rajan didn¡¯t want others to talk low about Visalakshi. So after their marriage they moved to Ooty. He bought a land there and did farming. It gave them enough money. Magi was born after some years of their marriage. Also they didn¡¯t get any children after Magi. So Magi was the pet to the family. Her parents brought her up by giving needed independence and also they were strict in her disciplines. Magi¡¯s home was nearer to a famous convent in Ooty. After they moved from their native to here, Visalakshi got a friend named Sister Mary who belonged to that convent. Also Magi did her schooling in that convent. Sister Mary took care of Magi as she was her friend¡¯s daughter. When Rajan¡¯s parents were sick, they went to his hometown to look after them. After some days Rajan mother had died. His father wanted to stay in the same house where his mother lived these long years. Rajan planned to sell his properties in Ooty and went back to his hometown to take care of his father. Since it was the mid of an educational year, they didn¡¯t want to spoil Magi¡¯s education. So they sent Magi to the convent hostel. When Rajan¡¯s father died, his relatives started some property issues. They thought that Rajan would never return to his father and they would get the properties. Some properties of Rajan were in the name of Rajan¡¯s grandfather. So his cousins filed a civil case against Rajan. He was very upset, when his close relatives troubled him. After a trial when Rajan and Visalakshi were returned from the court, a lorry hit their car. Both of them died in that accident. Some good hearted persons in the village informed this to Sister Mary. Since sister came often to meet Visalakshi, they knew about her. Sister managed Rajan¡¯s relatives and sold some properties and deposited the amount in Magi¡¯s account. She gave the remaining property and house to lease. Thus she saved some amount for Magi. At the time Magi was only 17years old. Sister Mary took care of Magi, after her parent death. Magi joined BSc Electronics and Communication in a college and stayed with Sister Mary in the hostel convent itself. After her graduation, Magi joined a Japanese company in Chennai where she got Nishimura¡¯s friendship. She worked in that company for three months. When she came to Japan, she was just 20years old and three months pregnant. She attended an interview in Japan and got this job. Akil completed his reading but he didn¡¯t come to a conclusion. Her place was completely unrelated to him. When she was pregnant, he was not in India for a year. He was totally confused. ¡°Past is past. Now I want my son¡±, he planned well. As a first step Akil called Magi¡¯s company MD. Who¡¯s true? Who¡¯s fake? What is the cheetah¡¯s plan? Will see! ------------------------------------------------ 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 narrative has been purloined without the author''s approval. Report any appearances on Amazon. ¡°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?! -------------------------------------------------------------------- chapter 6 Akhil slowly pulled the signed papers to his side. ¡°Magizhi, I¡¯ve already seen the remaining two hotels in my last trip. So, you can go now and pack your things for the trip¡±, he said. ¡°No problem Akhil. It¡¯s just a 10days trip. First 5days I¡¯ll help you. Next 5days I¡¯ve some personal work there. Nothing much to pack.¡± ¡°I want to see the parks here. Can you join me with Ezhil? If I go alone it will be bore¡±, he hesitated. Magi was in a good mood because of her trip to India. So, she said, ¡±Ok Akhil, Ezhil wanted to go already so no problem. We can go.¡± Akhil was happy that his plan was executed without any effort. Next day they went to the park. The entire day was sweet. They enjoyed a lot. When playing she said, ¡°Next time you should bring your wife and son with you Akhil.¡± Inside she felt that she couldn¡¯t have a husband like him. He was silent for a minute and said, ¡°It¡¯s not possible Magi. My wife has died before 6years.¡± Magi was shocked to hear it. ¡°Leave it Magi¡±, he diverted. ¡°Why all the public places are crowded here?¡± She said ¡±It¡¯s a small island. Here population density is high. Other than Japanese there are many foreigners settled here. Especially during cherry blossom festival, the crowd will increase drastically¡± They chatted about lot of things. Others thought that the three were a perfect family. Ezhil¡¯s friend family too came there. Exactly! The lady who asked about Ezhil¡¯s father in the day care. They noticed them. His friend called Ezhil and they came to him. He said, ¡±Ezhil, your dad is so tall and handsome.¡± Ezhil didn¡¯t notice the word dad. So, he replied, ¡±Yes he is ¡° His dad said, ¡±Hi sir, you¡¯re Akhil Nandhan right?¡± Everyone was shocked. That lady felt sorry for her misunderstanding about Magi. Magi was shocked when hearing his full name as Akhil Nandhan. Ezhil was shocked when his friend called Akhil as dad. Akhil did a calculation to tell the truth without hurting anyone. Akhil replied, ¡±Yes Mr. you are?¡±This novel is published on a different platform. Support the original author by finding the official source. ¡°Sir, I¡¯m Hemesh. Last year I saw you in International Hotel Management conference. Your speech was excellent. Are you related to Nandhan groups?¡± the man asked him. Akhil replied, ¡±Yes, I¡¯m the chairman. My grandfather is the founder.¡± Hemesh felt like that he had seen God. He talked to Akhil very obediently. He didn¡¯t ask about his personal details. They understood that this was his family and they were separated for a reason. They bade goodbye to them. Magi looked confused because of Hemesh wife¡¯s sudden love on her. Ezhil asked innocently, ¡±Mom, why this aunt talks to us nicely? She didn¡¯t talk to us before. Now she¡¯s speaking with us.¡± Akhil asked, ¡±Why?¡± Ezhil said that she questioned about his father and after that she didn¡¯t talk to them. Magi tried to interrupt him, but she failed. Akhil was furious, ¡±My son is not an orphan. I¡¯m alive. I won¡¯t allow anyone to ill treat him¡± Magi diverted, ¡±Me and Ezhil are very eager to come to India.¡± ¡°Yes uncle, I¡¯m waiting to see India.¡± Akhil grinned. His son called him as uncle word by word. Akhil hinted, ¡±You come dear. Your dream comes true there.¡± Magi asked about her visa process. Akhil said, ¡±You are coming for my hotel work. So, I¡¯ll take care of yours and Ezhil visa. Don¡¯t worry about the passport. I¡¯ll return it at the airport.¡± Akhil noticed that Ezhil didn¡¯t pay attention when they talked about his father. It caused a wound in his heart. Children never pay attention to the topics that are discussed less in front of them. Ezhil didn¡¯t know the value of a father. Magi didn¡¯t teach the importance of a dad. She was not responsible for that because she didn¡¯t know who the father of the kid was. If she told the values, Ezhil would be longing for his father. So, she didn¡¯t. Akhil confirmed, ¡°My plan is the correct way to deal her¡± The days passed pleasantly¡­ Finally, the date of arrival came. Akhil arranged a bodyguard for Magi and Ezhil¡¯s safety. He dropped them safely at the airport. Akhil came exactly before the flight time and returned their passport to Magi. After checking, they entered business class. It was the first shock to her. Silly girl! She didn¡¯t know the upcoming shocks! ¡°Don¡¯t mistake me Magi. I want to talk to you something that¡¯s why this arrangement.¡± He helped Ezhil to have his food and waited till he slept. ¡°Magizhi, see these papers.¡± The first paper itself gave her a big shock. Yes, it¡¯s the DNA report of Akhil and Ezhil. It gave her a mild heart attack. She sobbed quietly. She drank some water that was given by Akhil. She used a lot of napkins to wipe her tears. But the tears fell continuously. No one was there to share her pain. It melted Akhil. He wanted her to console like a child. He hesitated. Her cry induced his motherhood feelings. He knew that she was not acting. He never mistaken her. It¡¯s a surprise for Akhil. His business mind never believes anyone easily. He impressed. After some time, she controlled herself and asked Akhil, ¡±How¡¯s this possible?¡± ¡°I never met you before. When I was pregnant, I was just at the end of my 19years.You only did something to me. Tell me what you did?¡± Akhil, ¡±See Magizhi, I¡¯m in the same condition as you. I couldn¡¯t recover from this shock yet. In fact, I was not in India that time. I¡¯m searching the truth.¡± Magi, ¡±So what¡¯s your plan about Ezhil? Why you didn¡¯t come to see him?¡± ¡°I knew the truth just before a week¡±, he said. ¡°Then how your name was written in Ezhil¡¯s birth certificate¡±, She questioned. Akhil told that he only helped her during the delivery time and the nurse asked his name. It might be her mistake. She looked at somewhere and said, ¡±Ok ,leave it Akhil. I¡¯m not in the mood to investigate this now. Me and Ezhil are living here peacefully. You just leave us as. Please¡± He didn¡¯t answer, so she looked at him. She couldn¡¯t get words to speak further when seeing him. He was looking furious. What will Akhil do? ------------------------------------------------------------- chapter 7 Akhil was in extreme anger. He wanted to break the things in front of him. But he didn¡¯t do it because of his good manners. His low growl startled her. She understood his anger and his poker face feared her a lot. ¡±I don¡¯t need to explain to you. I want my son. He needs a family environment. So, do you marry me?¡± It provoked her. ¡±Are you threatening me? I¡¯m not the same 19years girl. I know Indian rules¡± He teased, ¡±Is it so?¡± She wanted to tell the things clearly. So, she explained even she knew that he was teasing her. ¡°I¡¯m earning a lot. I¡¯ve my parent¡¯s properties in India. Also, if you ask Ezhil that he wants his mom or dad, he¡¯ll say mom.¡± ¡°It¡¯s enough for me to live. I don¡¯t need anyone permission¡±, she showed her attitude. Akhil laughed, ¡±Madam you¡¯ve not yet seen the other two papers. See and then talk.¡± She turned the papers. That was a copy of her marriage application form with Akhil. Original was already submitted in the sub-registrar office. She saw her sign in that paper. ¡°Hey Mr., it¡¯s a forgery. I can file a case against you. I didn¡¯t sign this paper. You are cheating me¡±, she shouted. Akhil said politely, ¡±Why are you always rushing?¡± He stressed the word ¡®always¡¯ that fumed her more. ¡°Mind your words. Otherwise you¡¯ll pay for it. Don¡¯t talk unnecessarily. I won¡¯t give any respect for you then.¡± Akhil kidded, ¡±Do you think you are respecting me now? Consider my age and give some respect ok?¡± She felt guilty and said sorry. Akhil told her to see the next paper. ¡°Why he is threatening me always?¡±, she thought and saw the paper. She had a scowl on her face. ¡°When I gave you full rights on Ezhil? This¡¯s not good for you. I won¡¯t leave this matter. I¡¯ll complaint against you in police.¡±You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story. Akhil, ¡±You only signed it baby. You want to see the proof?¡± He took his mobile and played a video. The content was ¡°Magi, is this ok for you?¡±, he asked She replied that it was cent percent ok for her and she signed the papers. She was silent after she saw the video. She guessed how it was taken. She blamed her stupidity. She had tears while realizing that she was cheated. Akhil was little angry, ¡±Is it that much hard to marry me? Why she¡¯s crying like this?¡± He forgot his initial planning. He was 35 and she was 25 years old.10years age difference between them. So, he didn¡¯t want her to disturb. He planned to bring Ezhil with him and thought to arrange a marriage for Magi with a guy like her age. His instinct told him that Magi won¡¯t marry anyone, and she won¡¯t leave Ezhil. So, he planned to close all the ways to marry her. She proved his perceptions. ¡°There is no need for marriage Akhil. We can be friends and grow him well.¡± Akhil, ¡±This¡¯s not good for him mentally. Now he¡¯s a child and doesn¡¯t know the value of a father. But in future?¡± ¡°Wherever he may live, I¡¯m his father and I¡¯m alive. Why should I allow others to tease my son for not knowing about his father?¡± ¡°Why should we give such pain to him? He should know the family values and we¡¯ll give him. Think well and decide before we land on India.¡± ¡°The ball is in your court.¡± Magi was in a state of dream. She couldn¡¯t express her feelings. She remembered her past! Her parents died suddenly. Then in Chennai she found that she was pregnant. Everything happened to her suddenly. When she was working in Chennai, she got Nishi¡¯s friendship. He liked Magi¡¯s innocent behavior and they became friends. One day in office she felt giddy. The vising doctor in her office checked her and said that she was pregnant. Her colleagues spoke ill about her character and avoided her relationship. Nishi was same as before that made his friendship even stronger. He consoled her when others bad mouthing about her. Magi became depressed and that made her physically weak too. Nishi talked to her nicely and got Sister Mary¡¯s number. He informed Magi¡¯s situation to her and she came to Chennai. Since she knew Magi well, she believed that she shouldn¡¯t do anything immoral. Nishi talked to his parents and Sumire. They convinced Sister Mary along with Nishi. He said that this depression was not good for Magi¡¯s health and her child too. So, he asked permission to bring her to Japan. Sister Mary accepted his words. He told Magi to resign her job and took her to Japan where Sumire supported her morally. She took care about Magi very well that relieved her pain, when days passed. After Ezhil¡¯s birth she thought that it was her own place. She never planned to do a marriage. Now she couldn¡¯t accept Akhil and this marriage suddenly. ¡°What i did if Nishi was wrong?¡± she thought herself. She cried for a while and then she finally slept. Till that Akhil was just closed his eyes like he slept. He saw Magi who was sleeping like a baby. He wanted to caress her hair. But he suppressed his emotions. With his clenched fists he hit the seat. He thought that he had two children from now. He didn¡¯t have any unforgettable memories with Shruthi. He was busy in his business, when he got married. Most of the time he forgot his wife. Shruthi was a nice girl. She never talks loudly. Such a soft natured girl! He felt that Magi was talkative. First time in his life he was going to do a thing without informing his family. Yes, he didn¡¯t inform about this marriage to anyone. He was thinking that how they would accept this marriage and how his son took this all. What¡¯s the plan of fate?! chapter 8 Magi frustrated for a second when she opened her eyes. She slept on Akhil¡¯s shoulders and Ezhil was completely lying on him. ¡°How I slept on his shoulders?¡±, she thought. She didn¡¯t know about Akhil¡¯s effort to console Ezhil, when he cried during her sleep. ¡°See! Your mom is here. Please don¡¯t cry, don¡¯t cry baby¡±, he comforted. To stop his cry, he gently tapped the baby and finally he slept on him. He was never close to any child. So, while consoling he felt that Magi was a Bhoomidevi. Children are the masters who teach parents about patience, duties and liabilities. When seeing Magi, Akhil had a new feeling. He didn¡¯t know to differentiate whether it was love or sympathy. Something pulled him inside. So, he wanted her in close. His business mind never taken aback after planning. So, he gently pulled her to his shoulders. When her head touched his shoulders, his heart skipped a beat. He experienced that her closeness touched his soul beyond his body! He felt like he had won the whole world. He was satisfied and slept like a child with a smile on his face. Without knowing these things Magi felt guilty, ¡±How I slept in a man shoulder like this? Where my instinct went? I¡¯ve not even touched a guy till now. How I behaved like this?¡± She built a strong iron wall around her heart and thought about her next moves. Akhil too woke up once she just got up. He observed her deeply. ¡°What¡¯s your decision?¡± he questioned. When hearing his voice suddenly, she feared. ¡°Don¡¯t I have any other option Akhil?¡± He frowned. She understood his reactions and replied in a confused state. ¡°You didn¡¯t give me option. So, I¡¯ll marry you. It¡¯s only because of Ezhil. If anything hurts me or Ezhil then I won¡¯t be calm.¡± Akhil liked her attitude even though she couldn¡¯t escape from him, she¡¯s speaking boldly. ¡±No one has rights to talk about my wife and son. Just remember a thing. In my family everyone is good.¡± ¡°But I don¡¯t like if they question about Ezhil¡¯s birth. Tell them we loved each other and got married. Then we separated due to some misunderstanding.¡± ¡°Now the problem was over, and I came to know about my son. So, we registered our marriage.¡± Akhil created a story and told her to convey if anyone asked her. Magi too accepted since she knew the seriousness of this matter. The plane landed at the Chennai airport exactly when they finished their discussion.This story has been stolen from Royal Road. If you read it on Amazon, please report it It was an early morning. He already arranged a cab for them to drop at his hotel. He didn¡¯t give her some time to relax. He dragged her by holding her hands. They entered his private room. It looked like a small house. He took a key from there. Ezhil was sleeping because of jet lag. He placed him in a bed. He called Thangamma who was an old servant in the hotel. Also, he trusted her much. She was a supervisor of the hotel. But now he called for his personal work. ¡°Thangamma, meet my wife Magizhini and my son Ezhilan. You please take care of him.¡± ¡°We are going out for an urgent work. If he wakes up or cry for his mom, then you call to my personal number. ¡°He had tiffin and milk before 30minutes.So doesn¡¯t compel him to have food. We¡¯ll come soon.¡± He didn¡¯t allow Magi to talk to her and dragged her. Thangamma was surprised when he introduced Magi and Ezhil as his wife and son. Magi smiled at her formally. He took her to a wardrobe in his hotel. He closed the room¡¯s door. Magi¡¯s natural self-defensive power rose for a second. ¡°What are you doing?¡± she scared. ¡°Be quiet. Just do what I say.¡± He selected a designer silk saree from the wardrobe and gave it to her. ¡±Select the matching blouse for your size and pick accessories too.¡± He was ready to move to the gent¡¯s section. ¡°Akhil, I don¡¯t know anything about saree. May I wear a designer chudi?¡± he felt that she was adamant like a child. ¡°No Magi. Our marriage is going to be held in a temple. It looks odd when you come in chudi. You¡¯re looking so young in churidar. Don¡¯t mistake me for what I¡¯m telling. Others may think that I¡¯m forcing you to marry me because of your innocent face and our age difference¡±, he said. ¡°It¡¯s true only. You¡¯re forcing me right?¡± ¡°See Magizhi, you said ok for our marriage. So please mind your words. Don¡¯t try to attract others attention. It¡¯s not good for our son.¡± ¡°This marriage is not for sake. It¡¯s a legal register marriage and tell your heart that I¡¯m your husband. It¡¯s good for us if the marriage happens as per my plan. Also, it should not attract others attention.¡± ¡°We should tie the knot in the temple and then register our marriage in the sub-registrar office before Ezhil wakes up. You may take it as an arrange marriage. Come on fast.¡± She nodded. She thought, ¡±Ok, I¡¯ll take it as an arranged marriage. I may think him as a new guy who was seen by my parents. It¡¯s all for my son.¡± She felt little comfortable now. He selected a full hand top and a jeans pant. He told her to change it in the dressing room. ¡°You told me to wear saree, then why this?¡± she confused. ¡°Do what I say.¡± He used the top as a blouse and draped the saree on her. When he draped, his fingers had not touched her. He maintained his dignity. He didn¡¯t touch her body, but it touched her soul. She felt that the safest place in the world is being with him. She didn¡¯t know that Akhil had entered her heart. He¡¯s good, she thought. She saw her look in the mirror. Her saree was a combination of red and green. Top is in the same green as blouse. He draped her saree so neatly without exposing her jeans in a single place. She looked so elegant. She felt like a complete woman. She plaited her free hair and wore the matching accessories that were chosen by him. She called him to tie the waist chain. When doing, both saw each other¡¯s mirror image and astonished. He filled her elegance in his eyes, and she filled his guts in her eyes! He brought her to a famous temple and tied the knot in front of God and his conscience. He gave a new identity to her. ¡°Magizhini Akhil Nandhan!¡± Then they registered their marriage in registrar office. Akhil marriage took place without any obstacles. After registration they were returning to the hotel. On the way he called Thangamma to ask about Ezhil. His care surprised her a lot because in this 3hours he asked about Ezhil more than twice. Magi was disturbed because of the respect they got in the registrar office. It showed Akhil¡¯s fame. ¡°Ezhil is still sleeping Magizhi¡±, she nodded for his saying. ¡°From this second, I¡¯m his wife¡±, the thought gave her little fear and some responsibility. She relieved that Ezhil¡¯s birth was legalized now. She was ready to face anything for Ezhil. Akhil called someone in phone, ¡°Doctor Vasanthi is there? I¡¯m her son-in-law Akhil. Oh! she went to camp? Ok inform her once she comes.¡± Magi had a puzzled look on her face. ¡±Who is Vasanthi?¡± ¡°You should know me well¡±, Akhil started. What¡¯s waiting for Magizhi? How many mysteries Akhil has?! ----------------------------------------------------------------- chapter 9 Akhil started his story. ¡°See Magizhi, I¡¯m from a traditional family in this city. My grandfather Jey Nandhan is a hardworking man. I never saw him taking rest. He¡¯s such a busy businessman.¡± ¡°My grandma Vijaya died before I was born. I saw her only in the photograph.¡± ¡°Grandpa loved his wife so much. He never forgets to talk about her.¡± Magi realized that he looked differently when he talked about his family. ¡°Generally, when talks about family everyone starts with their mom and dad. But he is talking about his grandfather¡±, she thought. He read her thoughts, ¡±My parents didn¡¯t grow up me. After I was born, my mom got pregnant again. So, I was with my grandpa during my childhood. He only brought me up.¡± ¡°My dad Vijay Nandhan loved my mom Kamala and they got married. My dad was not interested in doing business. I¡¯ve a twin sibling Anil and Anila. They are younger than me.¡± ¡°Anil got married. His wife name is Lakshmi. He has a son who is 8years old now. His name is Jeevan.¡± ¡°Anila was married. Her husband is Rajeev. Very nice person! He is our business partner and my friend too.¡± ¡°She has two sons. Rahul is 8years old and Gokul is 5years old. Anila has some misunderstanding with Rajeev. So, she came with her sons and staying with us now.¡± ¡°Totally everyone is good and jovial in my family. I and my grandpa only don¡¯t talk much.¡± ¡°You know, I¡¯m married already. So, you should also know about my first wife. Since I¡¯m with my grandpa from my childhood, I learnt the business well. I don¡¯t know why Anil and Anila are still not interested in business?¡± ¡°After my graduation, I took over the business. When I was developing our hotel one by one, my family arranged my marriage with Shruthi.¡± ¡°Shruthi had her mother alone. Her father was no more. To her mom only, I called just before. She¡¯s a doctor.¡± ¡°My marriage with Shruthi happened very quickly. As well as it came to an end soon. She had just completed her UG during the marriage. She was an innocent girl.¡± ¡°She talked to me well initially. Later she became very silent. She was a distance relation to my mom. So, she gave respect to my parents and others. She behaved well.¡± ¡°We both didn¡¯t have any problems physically. But we didn¡¯t have children. Shruthi felt very bad for that. My parents, Anil and Anila too felt sad for us.¡± ¡°After a year of my marriage, Anil and Anila got married in the same day. When Anila and Lakshmi had their children one by one, Shruthi became very silent. Everyone in the family did pooja for us to have children. But it didn¡¯t happen.¡±The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there. ¡°That time I bought a hotel in Singapore. So, I stayed there. I called Shruthi to stay with me. But she denied. After 6months only she came there.¡± ¡°I was eager to meet her. But she came as a blood cancer patient. She was struggling with the disease for a year and finally died.¡± ¡°I was in depression after her death. So, I came to japan for a change, where I helped you during the delivery time. Still I¡¯m unclear about Ezhil¡¯s birth.¡± Magi tried to tell something, but he stopped and said, ¡°I suspect you initially. Later my detective reports clarified that you are innocent.¡± ¡°I knew from your behavior that you didn¡¯t do anything wrong. I¡¯m not an alcoholic and I never forget myself. I couldn¡¯t guess that how it was happened. I don¡¯t want to talk about this now.¡± ¡°If my family members know about our marriage, then they will come here anytime. Before that we should convey this to Ezhil. Kindly think how to tell him.¡± His speed of decisions dreaded her a lot. She was always slow. She thought, ¡±I couldn¡¯t match to his speed. He has not even giving time to understand what he says. Don¡¯t know how I¡¯m going to manage him after this marriage.¡± Akhil, ¡°What are you thinking?¡± Magi, ¡±See Akhil! I always take my decisions leisurely. Can I cope with your speed?¡± Akhil stunned for a second, ¡°Does she understand what I say?¡± Akhil gets angry if someone neglects his orders. But now he didn¡¯t. Her words, ¡±Can I cope with your speed?¡± disturbed him. ¡°It¡¯s my lifestyle Magizhi. In business most of the times I¡¯ve to take quick decisions. It¡¯s a usual thing for me. Here after I talk slowly, ok?¡± ¡°But we have to do deal Ezhil¡¯s matter quickly. Else we must answer everyone. I don¡¯t like to answer them.¡± They reached the hotel and he walked fast towards his room. He reduced his speed once he saw that she was struggling to walk to his speed. Akhil started to change his behavior for his wife unknowingly. She felt shy when everyone in the hotel looked at her. When they reached the room, he said Thangamma to leave. Akhil said, ¡°We sleep for some time. Then only we can gain some energy to answer everyone. Be cool.¡± He lay next to Ezhil. ¡°Akhil I need a help¡±, she said. ¡°What?¡± he looked. ¡°I don¡¯t know wherever you put pins in the saree?¡± He removed all the pins from the saree casually. When realizing that he had rights on her, he was astonished. Her skin was never exposed in the dress. But it induced his feelings. He turned to the other side of the bed. She hesitated to sleep with him. When she went to Ezhil¡¯s other side, he closed his eyes. He understood her hesitation only after he heard a sound. Yes, Magi rolled out of the bed like a kid! She always rolls over when sleeping. So, she never uses couch to sleep. Today due to jet lag she slept well and did as usual. Akhil laughed at her. But she was still sleeping. He placed her again in the bed and now he turned to her side. Ezhil cried while sleeping. When Akhil tried to console him, he was shocked to see Magi¡¯s instinctive reaction. Yes, she feed her 5years old boy. She¡¯s raising her baby without anyone¡¯s support. She couldn¡¯t prepare milk by leaving the crying child alone in the nighttime. So, she¡¯s still feeding. She tried to stop feeding her when he was 3years old. But she failed. She consulted a doctor in Japan; he told that this behavior will change automatically. Also, he prescribed some calcium tablets and calcium rich foods to compensate her deficiency. No one is there to advise Magizhi regarding this. She didn¡¯t have anyone to ask her doubts. So, she left this matter. Akhil lost his sleep when seeing her immaturity. He realized that he must teach her a lot of things as a mother. He had one more duty yet. He had to inform about this marriage to Nishimura and Sister Mary. He wanted to thank them wholeheartedly. Before that he should know about Ezhil¡¯s birth. So, he delayed informing them. --------------------------------------------------------
