You Made My Day!! by Kalai Selvi Arivalagan (read aloud books .TXT) 📕

is going to happen forever, I will be happy” Ram smiled at her.

“It will be like that forever. Now get ready to go for work” Divya did not sound rude.

The sudden positive change in her made him smile happily. For a flickering moment, Sheila came to his thoughts.

“Did she bring the positive change in my life? I must thank her first.” Ram felt relieved and happy after a very long time.

Most of his friends were happy to see him beaming with smile.

“What is the special news? You look very happy.” Every one teased him.

“Nothing to share” He did not want to share this happiness with anyone except Sheila.

After leaving her kids at her mother’s place in a nearby town, Sheila was returning back to Chennai. It was different to travel alone without her kids. Her kids filled the gap that her husband failed to fill and they always take care to make her feel relaxed and not worried.

In spite of her husband’s indifferent attitude, Sheila moved forward with the emotional support of her kids.

Sheila started to wonder how her time would be at home without her kids. Staying alone with him and facing his ill-mannered activities throughout the day would definitely make her feel nervous and unhappy.

He may demand to be together often as the kids were not at home and they were alone. She had to struggle to find an excuse to be left alone or not to be disturbed often.

Numerous thoughts occupied her mind and made her heart feel low. With depressed heart, Sheila reached home around 7 pm. Without talking anything to her husband, she ate her food and went to bed early.

The next four days went on without any stress. The days went on with her routine work at home and office. Sheila slept well on all these four days, yet, she missed her kids. The routine, stress free days helped to stabilize and wish for the best to happen.

“You have changed a lot” Sheila looked at her husband. She did not reply to his comment.

“What is happening with you?” He enquired.

“Nothing” She replied in a lower tone.

“Don’t think I can’t understand your feelings. I know you hate me from your heart” His answer shocked her.

“No, it is not like that” She defended.

“No need to deny. I know” Sheila stood dumb searching for words.

“If you really don’t like anything with me, tell me. I will try to change myself”

Sheila could not believe her eyes. What happened to him? Is he talking the truth or trying to convince her to get things done in his own way.

“I know you will not believe me. But give me an opportunity to prove myself.”

Sheila could not control her tears. At last god has listened to her prayers. She thanked once again wishing that change to be permanent. Imprint
