"Oooooyyeeeee     Maaaamoooiiiiii....... Enga irukeeruuu..... "

Thendral shouted to find her husband who actually inside the farm to cut down the water flow as it seems it will rain tonight and there is high possibility of madai getting broke if it rains heavily even though they strengthen the madai...still wants to make sure nothing wrong happens..

He already heard her shouting for him and on the way back to the motor room where she is standing....

"Inthadi ipo enathuku kathikitu kedaka...naa inga thane irukein.... Konjam neram antha vaiya vachitu summa iruka theriyutha paru... "

" Unaiya lam yarachu thita mudiyuma mama.... Naa summa enaku nane pesitu iruntha"

"Ama ama nambitein dii"

"Manusan na nambanum mama... Athum naa un pondati ena tha nee athigama nambanum.... Unaku vevaram pathala.... "

She said proudly making him chuckle....

"Athu sari... "

Thendral Narrowed her eyes at him..which he didn't mind instead feed her bite of Kelvaragu kaali dipped in Karuvattu kolambu...

Her talks continued till they finish their Dinner together where he feed her himself while madam was ranting about her whole day events and activities...

They then settled on the Kayithu katil... Thendral asked Ilamparithi who is lying on the kattil while she was sitting beside him...
