Anbum Aranum Udaiththaayin

Senkathire

"Ayoo. Nenga vera. Adhu elam onum illa"

When he noticed Murugan still feeling dull, he picked up the drink Parvathy kept to make him understand he did not feel offended.

Mullai wanted to give it back to her mother, but kept quiet. Kathir was right, this was not the time to react. Her insulting her mother would push her further into accepting her future with Kathir. However she could not sit ideal seeing Kathir get insulted.

"Kathiru, tea potu edututu varata?", Mullai immediately asked noticing his gesture though he was trying to hide the insult in his face.

"Apadiyey poi vadai payasathoda virundhu ready pannu. Adhu onnu than korachal. Vita appavum ponnum mapillai virundhu poduvenga pola"

Kaathir inhaled to calm himself before he could talk "Adhu.." only to be cut off by Parvathy

"Inga paaru. Un kita enaku pesa virupam kuda illa. Aparam edavadhu solida porean. Aparam thevai iladha sangatam than minjum"

She turned towards Mulai

"Unna solanum modhala. Elam unala than. Ivan naadagatha nambi, vekkamey ilama ivana virumbarenu enga kitayey solra paaru. Adhu nala than, dhora haiyaa nadu veetla okandu en kita pesa muyarchi panitu irukan. Enaku ponna yepadi vandhu porandhiyo!", Parvathy fired resentment in every word of her.

"Inga parunga, Mulla mela endha thappum illa. Modhala naan than avala virumbinean. Avala onum solla venam", Kathir immediately defended her.

"Oh! Apo unna solalama? Annan pondatiya virumbi irukiyey. Vekama illa?", Parvathy said giving a contemptuous look to him

Kathir cringed at her words.

"Amma!", Mullai yelled.

"Avan thana unna onum solla kudadhunu sonan. Adhan avana kekarean. Nee chumma iru", Parvathy said hushing Mullai.

When Mullai opened her mouth again, Kathir shook his head asking Mullai to keep quiet.

"Nee solupa. Anna pondatiya enna solli mayakina? Unga veetla ipadi nadika solli sonangala?"

"Parvathy! Romba thapa pesara. Konjam niruthu", Murugan pleaded

"Chumma en vai'a edhuku adakarenga. Ivanga kudumbama sendhu than idha seiyaranga. "

She faced Kathir and stood high

"Avala pazhi vangaradhula apadi enna unakum un kudumbathukum sandhosamo? Modhala anna'na kalyanam panni vechu, thirumba veetuku anupitenga. Ipo nee kadhalikareanu solli, avaluku vazhkai muluka kalayanam agama panna porenga apadi thana? "

Kathir stood up suddenly needing to move to keep himself from yelling at her. He folded his hands and looked straight at her

"Nenga nenaikara mathiri ennam, enga veetla yarukum kedaiyadhu. avalavu kevalamana budhiyum enga yarum kedaiyadhu. Naan Mullaiya unmaiya nesikarean. Ava kuda vazhanumnu nenaikarean.", he said trying to hide his annoyance as much as possible.

"Ava Jeeva annana kalyanam panadhu unmai than. Aana adhu mudinju ponna kadhai. Naan adha pathi pesa virumbala. Nengalum pesadhenga. Ipadi enna asinga padutha varthai vitengana, adhu unga ponnayum sethu avamana paduthara mathiri than. Adha panadhenga. Apadi pesina pathutu enala chumma iruka mudiyadhu!", he warned her without raising his voice any octave.

Regardless of the anger that was evident in Parvathy, the way he defended Mullai calmed her down a bit and she stood quiet waiting for him to continue.
