Anbum Aranum Udaiththaayin

Ennavale

As they were chatting, Mullai noticed the car was on its way to Karaikudi.

"Karaikudi poroma? Coffee shop ku than Kannana vara sonean"

"Illa Kannan kalaiyil call panan. Avan college mudichu Kathir veetla irukanam. Anga avanayum pick panika sonnan"

"Avan vandila varalana, Jeeva mama kita enna solradhu? Nanga yepadi thirumba poradhu", Mullai asked confused.

"Adhu elam pathukalam vanga"

"Puriyala Meena. Enna nadakudhu? En kita edavadhu maraikarengala?", Mullai asked suspiciously

"Onum nadakala. Amaidhiya vanga", Meena said and kept quiet for rest of the ride.

Once they reached Kathir house, Meena got out along with Mullai and walked into Selvi house

"Kathir veedu mela iruku", Mullai called out.

"Anga ponna, Kathir ku therinjidumnu Kanan kela irukanam", Meena replied hurriedly.

"Kathir ku therinja enna? Adhu matum ilama Kathir ipo kadaiyil irupan.", She added with questions written all over her face.

"Oru rendu nimisham amaidhiya kelvi kekkama irundha, ungalukey puriyum. Vanga pesama", Meena said as she dragged her in. Once they stepped inside, Mullai heard some blast sound probably of balloons blasting while heard people sing "happy birthday to you..happy birthday to u . happy Birthday to you Mulla..."

Mullai was shocked and completely surprised. She watched Selvi, Malar, Kanna and Jeeva mama singing except Kathir.

Her thoughts were broken by movements behind her, and she noticed Kathir come stand next to her

"Yepadiyo nenga sonna mathiri kutitu vandutean. Adhu kula ethane kelvi. Appapah..Nanna iruka poi samalichean", Meena huffed and wiped her imaginary sweat of her forehead.

"Romba thanks ga", Kathir thanked wholeheartedly.

Mullai was shocked beyond words "Un velaiya idhu?

"Anna en kita idea ketuchu. Naan than kutty anni kuda serndhu indha plan pottu kuduthean. Oru cake kaga enna elam panna vendi iruku", Kanna shook his head in dismay.

Jeeva smacked his head "Unala amadiyavey iruka mudiyadhu la? Andha pulla Kathir than elam yosichanu nenachu sandhosa patta enna da unaku?"

"Adhu yepadi? Unmai, nermai, nyanayam..idhoda inoru peru than Kannan"

"Aamamma. Periya annanuku theriyama anni kita pocket money vangradhu. Aparam en kita. Kathir varapo avan kita. Idhana da un nermai. Theriyadha", Jeeva teased

"Seri seri yenna pathi pesinadhu podhunm. Indhanga Anni, en gift", Kanna extended.

After removing 3 layers of gift wrapper, Mullai said "Ulla matum onum ilama irukatum, unaku udhai confirmed da"

"Nenga ivalavu softa? En annan romba kuduthu vechavan", he tried to tell her as sweety as possible.

Finally after removing 5 layers of gift wrapping, she had tears in her eyes. It was a picture frame of Kathir and Mullai together taken during Jeeva's wedding.

"Ayoo alarengala? Photo pudikalaya anni? Annan, mukavasi photo la mokkaiya than anni pose kudukum. Adhula therinadhu idhu than", Kanna teased. Mullai slapped him lightly on his shoulder and hugged him

"Romba thanks da. Romba azhaga iruku"

"Gift azhaga iruka illa adhula irukara unga avugha azhaga irukangala?", Meena teased further
