*Thendral FF ~ Forever Me and You* Ch20 on page 19 - Page 15

Thamizh and Thulasi had been home for over a week now from their trip to Madurai. After finding out about Charu's mental break down, they had both been consumed with guilt thinking their marriage was the reason for her condition. GiriPrakash had taken the couple to the Doctor that had informed him first about Charu's condition.

He told them that her condition had started to be built since an early age and their marriage had only tipped her off the edge. After losing her birth parents at such an early age, she was quickly adopted by loving parents who literally gave her everything she wanted. She was always awarded for behaving well and nothing or no one was ever out of reach for as she had all resources necessary to obtain anything she needed and wanted.

Not marrying TA was her first disappointment and she couldn't understand why she couldn't get something and why some seemingly less polished girl like Thulasi was able to marry TA. The couple was still distressed until the doctor told them that the treatment Charu will be getting in London will definitely help her see through her thinking and make her realize that wanting something and loving someone is completely different and may even come around to lead a normal life very fast. With this sense of new relief, Thamizh and Thulasi were able to put behind this issue and focus that had been ignored for a while, their future.

Charu's condition had brought out some new perspective to Thamizh as he found out his mother's incessant hatred towards Thulasi had never left and for the time-being she was not supportive of his marriage to her and it didn't look like that was changing anytime soon. Despite Thulasi's protests, TA kept his mother at a distance and focused all his energy on two things that was most important to him, finding a decent and permanent job and Thulasi, his unfaltering rock.

That evening, when Thulasi came home from college, she was surprised to find the door locked. TA was usually home by this time but now his bike and shoes were nowhere to be seen. Thulasi pulled out her cellphone and called him but there was no answer. Worried, Thulasi went in and started to make dinner, calling TA's phone every 5 minutes but without an answer. Three hours later, TA finally came home.

"Where were you? Why didn't you pick up the phone? Don't you realize there's someone waiting scared at home for you?" yelled Thulasi.

"Can be quiet for just a moment and I'll explain!" yelled back TA. Thulasi immediately shut up and TA continued. "Here, take some sweets." Thulasi was confused and took some and ate it. TA smiled and shook her hand, "congratulations Mrs. Thamizharasu, you're now a partial owner of your own loan sanction company."

Thulasi is surprised but before she could continue, TA said, "let me explain. I was meeting Sundari Madame and we came up with a business plan to open up our own loan sanction department. We'll be starting soon with the hiring employees, finding an office and everything."

Thulasi's face had lit up. She didn't know the words to tell him that she was so extremely proud of him so just hugged him instead. TA was started to laugh and hugged her back and said, "see I told you right, soon we'll be so successful with our business and your studies, we can practically rule the world."

TA continued to tell her about the business and the long talk he had with Sundari Madame as Thulasi began to set out the food for the both of them. As TA continued to talk and eat, Thulasi just wordlessly sat there eating, carefully listening to every word. With her eyes never leaving his content and experessive face, she thought to herself how lucky she was to have ended up with this man as her husband. Even if more problems, she knew she'll be fine and without realizing it, Thulasi had grabbed a hold of his hand gently. TA gave a shock reaction and asked what the matter was. Thulasi replied it was nothing and she was just happy...
