Sollaal Aditha Sundari

Ethirpaaraamal

Vaanga ka..vaanga she invited them with a nice smile

Only the tiny flicker in her eyes gave away any emotion she felt on seeing him after almost a year

She looked much thinner and paler than when he had last seen her

Eppudi irukka Mullai..evvalavu naalaachu..oorukku vantha kooda veettu pakkame varathu ille ..

By then Parvathy joined them

Enga Dhanam..oorukku vanthe 6 maasathukku mela aaguthu ..Diwaliku kooda varala ..

Enga ka college la project, assignment nu nongu edukkaraanga ..anga inga nagara mudiyale

Athukkunnu naanga ellam pazhaiya makkal aayittomaa

Aiyo appudi ille ka

Vidunga anni..Ishtam iruntha varuvaanga..puthu friends kedaicha pazhaiya friends marakkarthu nadakkarthu thaane

Only Mullai understood the edge in his voice

Enna varaattiyum nalla saappta parava ille

Amma athu diet ma ..ethana vaatti soldrathu ..ulle po ma ..akka ponga ka

Parvathy and Dhanam went in chattering nineteen to the dozen

Diet ellam panni figure ah semmaiya maintain pandra pola..Summa solla koodathu chic nu irukka..evannaalum keranguvaan..un Singapore boyfriend vanthu iruppaane..athukkaaga thaan intha dieting ellaamo he asked

Ulle ponga Muhurthathukku time aaguthu

Her first words to him..whispered with downcast eyes

He walked in then..but found himself looking at the reception table a couple minutes later only to find it empty and abandoned

At another corner of the mandapam Mullai stood staring at nothing in particular

She hadn't expected to see him here..that in itself had come as a shock

But she knew his wrath..was bracing herself for it the moment she saw him..what he had implied just now..

She heaved a sigh..it was her choice and she had no regrets ..she wouldn't be the first one to leave a broken relationship in her wake..nor would she be the last..

Nee oru thappum pannala Mullai..vaazhkaikku ethu nallathunnu practical ah yosichu oru mudivu edutha..athu mathavangalukku kovam na athukku nee onnum panna mudiyathu..she told herself..the subtle tremble in her chin the only gave away to the facade this bravado was

She heaved a sigh and went in coz she knew she would be missed ..she also dreaded the next couple of hours

Inside the hall

Dhanam and Kathir sat among the crowd while Mullai kept herself close to Ashok's sister Charu..and partook in the happenings seemingly very happy

When the getti melam was announced Mullai and Ashok stood next to each other behind Chaaru..Kathir began seeing red..But when she got emotional and leaned on Ashok when the nuptial thread was tied Kathir clenched his jaws and got up..

Enna da

Tho varen anni..thanni thaagam ah irukku

Konjam kooda sabai la irukkomnu illaaama he muttered to himself

They waited for the post wedding rituals to come to an end

Kathir noticed Ashok speaking to another very beautiful woman very often..Kathir knew love when he saw it..Ashok was definitely interested..but Kathir was not so sure about the woman..she seemed a little skittish
