Appo naan poi thevaiyaana porul ellam vaangittu varen Mullai tried to get up
Yenga neenga yen poreenga..list podalaam.. Jeeva kitta sollalaam ..vaangittu vanthu kudukkattum..thambi porantha naalukku seyyattum she said
Mullai liked the idea
They put an exhaustive list in consultation with Lakshmi amma
Kooppittu sollunga Jeeva tta
Yenga neenga call pannunga
Venaanga naan call panna asingama thittiduven avana..thambi porantha naal kooda nyaabagam ille..enna annano..
And Mullai had called Jeeva
Jeeva who was at the bank had felt understandably bad and immediately agreed to get everything and promised to not tell anyone about this
He even promised that he wouldn't wish Kathir until the cake cutting
The ladies got to work on the cake
It was not a perfect looking cake yet
They were still waiting for Jeeva to bring the icing ingredients
Meena and Mullai laughed while waiting for the aponge to cool down
Their athai had not known the name of the flavour
But had said
Athu oru mathiri santhana colour la irukkum aanaa matha cake mathiri verum cream illaama kutty kutty ya vaaila nara nara nnu maattum..nalla irukkum
The girls luckily understood she was referring to ButterScotch flavour
Jeeva arrived shortly with all the ingredients
By 5 pm they had prepped all the veggies and fruits
Mullai told Meena that she had to step out and would be back in an hour max
Oh seri..appudi enna avasaram
Gift vaanga
Kaasu
Mullai averted Meena's gaze
Mothiram ah
Ille
Appuram
Mullai told her and Meena's eyes grew soft on her
Poittu vaanga was all she said
But stood thinking
Here was a girl who had liked Jeeva just as much as she had..and yes there was a time when she hated her for that..since it upset her plans ..had said some really unladylike things to her..she didn't remember properly apologising even..but Mullai had not held a grudge for too long..
Requited unrequited aside Mullai had never shown any hatred towards herself or Jeeva despite the wedding fiasco either..and now she was doing all this for her husband she has grown to like..Meena felt proud of Mullai..proud that they were co-sisters
One of these days she would apologise to Mullai..But not today ..she deserved at least that for her honesty just now
Mullai had been back by 6 pm
Kanna who was back from college had happily agreed to take care of decorations
And he immersed himself wholeheartedly in it as Lakshmi amma watched with a smile
At 6 when Mullai walked in the hall looked all decked up
He had readied the open courtyard for the cake cutting
At the middle stood the table and the entire courtyard had multi colour pastel balloons floating on the floor
The pillars in the four corners were decorated with pastel streamers and strings of fairylights
