En Uyir Ninnathandro

Pilavu

Mullai looked at Kathir..Kathir completely ignored her staring stonily ahead

Nethu phone la pesinappo dowry harassment domestic abuse antha mathiri ethuvum illennu sollitteenga .. he continued

Mullai looked at Kathir nervously just in time to see a slight twitch in his face

She could sense he was getting very irritated

appo 2 options ..onnu ippove file panni court soldra period ku thaniya irunthu appudi pogalaam..ille one year thaniya irunthuttu..appuram file pannalaam

One year kazhiche file pandrom..he spoke for the first time

The lawyer looked at him

He had spoken to both of them over phone

While Mullai had come across as sweet and friendly Kathir had come across as a little aggressive

Even now but for a curt nod of hello he had been silent

But now the lawyer wondered if maybe he didn't want this at all

He tried to assess Kathir

He couldn't garner much but he realised he had sounded pleasant enough on the phone yesterday till he realised what the call was about

Ungalukkum ok na appudiye seyyalaam

Avar eppudi soldraaro appudiye pannalaam Mullai said

Kathir looked at her then..

Their eyes met

Neraiya yosikkanum Mullai..namma rendu kudumbatha pathiyum yosikkanum..romba avasaram thevai ille..munna decide panna mathiri oru varusham let's be patient he said in a softer tone

Mullai said nothing

Of course unakku ethaachum avasaramna we can discuss

Enakku enna avasaram..avasaram ellam onnum ille she said

That's settled then he smiled a small sliver of a smile..the first for the day

As they sat speaking Kathir got a call about some business issue

Vera ethaachum he asked

Innum one year ku onnum ille the lawyer smiled

Appo nee kadaikku po Kathiru naan auto pudichu veettukku poren

Hmm seri..nejamaave konjam urgent velai illena naane drop pannuven he said 

Parava ille..nee kelambu she smiled too

They said their byes to the lawyer and left

He sat thinking when his wife came in with his breakfast

Enna balatha yosanai

The lawyer smiled

Ille oru couple divorce venumnu vanthaanga..eppudi avangalukku konjam efforts pottuttu appuram mudivedunga nnu advise pannalaamnu yosichu kittu irunthen

Seri..successful ah convince pannitteengalo

Enga..avangalukke ishtam ille..kankooda theriyuthu..antha ponnu thaan phone pannichu..appove oru thayakkam therinjuthu..seri paiyan seri kedaiyathu yosicha..athuvum ille

Appuram yen

Communication gap..vera enn irukka mudiyum ..but I dont think I will see them again ever..he chuckled

The wife smiled

Seri athe santhoshathoda saappidunga

Kathir went about his work at the shop feeling a little peaceful ..but he was still very annoyed with Mullai for pulling this stunt
