Kochappan's illness and Maria's sickness

I did'nt hear from Kochappan till evening today. This was my first visit to his home after
the house warming ceremony.

He was in bed. Is he still thinking of 'baggage and luggage' and 'long and lengthy' ?
He didn't look well.
"Are you sick ?". I asked him.
" No Iam ill " He said. As always , I was confused.
" What is the difference" was my next query.

" 'to be sick' is to ' feel like vomiting' and I have not vomited. That, Aniyan, is in British English".He said proudly; in a weak tone.

" Then you are 'unwell' or 'ill' in America and 'indisposed' in England".I remarked.He nodded his head in approval.

I wanted to irritate him by asking him whether he has anything to do with his colleague Maria ' being sick' ; in British English.

I did'nt want the conversation to be lengthy ; at least not when he is indisposed.
He had closed his eyes. He looked tired. Let him sleep .

I closed the door gently and walked out into the road.

It has started to drizzle .... but I moved on ........

You seem to be carrying a lot of that....


>>"Are you sick ?". I asked him.

"Not till I saw you"

...and I heard the sound of the door firmly shut behind me
