Anbum Aranum Udaiththaayin

Kadai Thirappu

Kathir stood like a statue fearing any movement would reveal this to be a dream and all his hopes would come shattering down again.

Kanna looks around the room. Seeing Kathir stand like a stone, he pinches his hand which makes Kathir yelp.

"Anne vazhikudha? Apo idhu kanavu illaya? Unmaiya athai unna mapillainu kuptangala?"

This made everyone relax and chuckle at the same time. Kathir still not believing the words looked at his athai again for confirmation. On cue, Lakshmi asked the question

"Romba sandhosam Parvathy. Nanga panadhu elam manasil vechu indha kalyanathuku samadhika matenu nenachean"

Kanna intertupped again "Amma, nenga ipadi kelvi kettu, athai thirumba edavadhu solida poranga. Vanga athai manasu maradhu kula Mullai anni'ya kaioda kuttitu poidalam" which earned a stern look from Parvathy that shut him up.

"Pazhasa edhuvum marakala athachi. Andha ranam elam marayanumna Mulla sandhosama vazharatha patha than pogum. ", Parvathy replied honestly turning her focus on Lakshmi again. 

"Idhuku than sonean. Softa pesarapove anni'ya kutitu odidalamnu. Ipo sornakka mathri marupadi aramika poranga" Kanna muttered under his breath that was heard by Kathir but he was in no mood to comment or react.

Kathir turned his focus to Mullai who was looking at him carrying the same expression of skepticism.

"Parvathy un kavalai, varutham elam Puriyudhu. Nanga panadhu avalavu periya dhoragam than. Adhuku verum manipu ketta pathadhunu theriyum.

Aana, naan urudhiya solrean. Mullaiyum Kathirum sandhosama irupanga. Adhula enaku entha sandhegamum illa", Lakshmi confessed her heart.

"Unmaiya solanumna, enaku unga kudumbam mela inum kovam neraya iruku.", Parvathy started only to be cut by Murugan

"Parvathy Ipo edhuku adhu elam?"

"Iru Muruga, Ava manasula irukaradha solli mudikatum", Lakshmi throbbed wanting to hear her version of the story and to confirm if she trusted them before accepting the proposal.

Parvathy looked at Kathir and continued "Anaiakku Kathir vandhu veetla Mullaiya kadhalikarenu solrapo kuda katayala naalu sathalamnu than kovam vandhuchu. Aparam pesaradha ketu, unmaiya Mullaiya kadhalikaranu purinjudhu.

Analum, kudumbamnu vanduta Mullai'la vitu kuduthuduvanu than nenachean."

"Ipovum apadi nenaikariya Parvathy?", Lakshmi came in defense for Kathir.

Parvathy shook her head negative "Illa. Epo Mullai kasta pada kudadhunu thaniya Karaikudi poganumnu nenacharo , apovey konjam nambikai vanduduchu.

Aparam poiya kadhal vasanama, kudumbatha vida Mullai mukiyamnu elam solala. Inum konjam jasthi nambikai varudhu Mullaiya nala pathuparunu"

She turned to look at Kathir, who stood in shock. She turned back to Laskhmi who had a knowing smile.

"En payan thangam. Mullai'ya oru korai ilama pathupan", Lakshmi beamed in happiness.

"Ipovum Unga veetuku ava varadhula istam illa than..." , When Parvathy tried to respond, Murugan cut her fearing she might insult his sister's family and bring back the wound that is now showing signs of healing.

"Akka, nenga nerla vandhu ipadi ketadhe sandhosam than ka. Idhuku mela pazhasa elam eduku pesikitu?
Elarum irundhu saptutu than poganum. "
