While kathir stood there confused of mullai's family's behaviour as they didn't ask her permission before deciding their marriage the other members of PS family gained back some consiousness..........
Dhanam moved towards lakshmi amma to have a secret low-voice conversation with her.......
D:In a low tone Atha......
Though lakshmi amma was angry like anything, she chose not to create more fun of her own family in front of the town........So she too chose to speak in a low tone.........
L:Angrily dhayavu senju enna apdi koopdadha...........
D:Atha neenga enna evlo vena thittunga.......aana naa solradha kelunga........Kathirukku mulla.........Illa atha.........Seriya varadhu........Avanoda edhirpaarpu nadakkalana avana..........she was not able to say further as the knife may turn in any direction and he may react however he wants..............
He's matured and has enough patience.........
still......
Whenever he gets angry, nothing can be done to control him further.......
D:Atha........Mulla........Naa othukaren atha........Ennoda thappu thaan...........Naa.......suyanalama yosichu thaan indha kalyanatha nadatha nenachen..........
Aana mulla paavam atha.........Poo maathiri ponnu.........Ava.........Kathiroda gonatha thaanga maatta atha............
Kathir sooriyan maathiri kovathula........
Chinna thappunaalum erichuduvaan.......
Idhu ongalukkum theriyum thaana atha??
Avan........
KAthirum paavam atha..........Avala pathi therinja enna seivanne theriyaadhu.........Avanukku vaazhkaila perusa sandhoshamnnu onnu idhu varikkum kedachadhilla.........
Please atha.........Vendam.............
She literally begged her MIL for kathir and mullai's life.........
But........
For some unknown reasons, lakshmi amma stood stubborn and stood there quiet not paying heed to dhanam's pleadings...........
Thats when akila called lakshmi amma.........
A:Amma.....
L:Sollu ma.......
A:Unga magantta naanga mullaya pathi sonnadhellam sollitingala?????Adhavadhu avaloda gonatha pathi...........She asked hinting her about mullai's soft nature........
Yeah its true.......
The family themselves came over and said how soft and fragile mullai is when marriage talks were going on.........
Though its not something to be informed in prior, they chose to do that to ensure mullai's happiness and protection as nowadays most of the people are not this fragile.........
Even lakshmi amma discussed about the same in their home and they all decided thats not an issue........
Jeeva without even hearing nodded his head as per his anna and anni's words.........
But now...........
Lakshmi amma stood there thinking for some moments............
Kathir didn't understand what was that........
Still......
Even before lakshmi amma thinks of the answer.......
Kathir himself responded..........
K:Enna vishayam naalum ennoda mudivula maatram irukaadhu.......
Adhoda........He paused and looked at mullai for a second..........Kandippa iva gonam nalla gonama thaan irukkum nnu enakku theriyum.......Adhanaala ennoda mudivula endha maatramum illa.........Oru thadava naa onnu seirennu sonna adha uyira kuduthaavadhu.........
Mu:Ipdilam achaaniyama pesadhinga thambi..........Erkanave neraya thappa nadandhupochu.....
Kathir stopped instantly giving respect to his words..............
Meanwhile kathir's friends shiva and rehaan were looking at kathir in awe.........
Yeah its true he never backs off from his decisions.........
Still..........
He being a thoughtful person never takes any impulsive decision.........
But this time he have taken a major decision in a fliff......
Above that,
The truth shiva muttered in rehaan's ear shocked him more..........
But he stood there not able to say anything as it has to do something with an innocent girl's life......
They thought of something and moved towards kathir and started speaking in a low tone.......
Sh:Machan........
K:Enna da??
Sh:Yosichu thaan solriya machan??
K:Ama da.........
Re:Ivlo seekram epdida ivlo periya decision edutha??
K:Engamma enkitta edhume kettadhilla da........Modha mora ketrukaanga........Adha naa kuduthu thaana da aaganum??
Re:Andha ponna pathi onnume theriyaadhe da??
K:Therilana therinjukka vendithaan........
Sh:Dei....Oruvela ava unnoda expectationkku othu varlana???
Kathir closed his eyes for a moment and opened...........
K:enakku nambikka irukku da.........Enakaana ponnu iva thaano nnu oru magical feel...Enakke aacharyama irukku enakku epdi indha feel vandhudhunnu as I dont believe in such stuffs.........Still...Ivakitta naa ketta qualities irukku nnu ennoda mind solludhu.........apdiye illanaalum oorariya naa accept panniten......hereafter, definitely no back-off like a coward.........Edhunaalum paathukalam da vidunga......
Seeing him too determined shiva and rehaan backed off and were thinking off how to let him know the truth............
Meanwhile,
L:adhaan kathir sollitaane......Avan sonna sol thavara maatan..........Mullayoda vaazhkka enga kadama........
Pu:Kadamaikku yaarum enga ponna kattikka vendam............He said in a curt tone..........
K:Kaadhaloda ipo ennala kattikkavum mudiyaadhu...........Aana onne onnu.........Mulla ennoda kadama illa..........Adha mattum thaan solla mudiyum....Saying this he paused thinking further...Avaloda poruppa naa eduthukka ava chinna kozhandha kadayaadhe.......Renduperum sendhu enga kudumba poruppa edukka porom.........Adhaan avangalukku avala namma kadama nnu sonna kovam vardhu........Of course yaarkka irundhaalum vara thaana seiyum.......Avale paavam enna nenachaalo therilaye...........
Contrast to his thoughts Mullai all the while as expected too quiet........
She didn't want to stand there anymore.......
She felt cheated by her very own sister..........
If she have said this before, she herself would have backed off from this whole fiasco and would have avoided this family drama..........
Anyways.........
Nothing can be done..........
She still believed her family and will always believe them...........
Their decision for her will be correct always...................
Pugazh was not able to say anything further in response to kathir.......
He still stood confused and was not able to take a proper decision........
His wrong decision's effect is what they are witnessing........
Infact, he was wallowing in guilt and self-pity literally unable to face his father, mother and akila who trusted him and gave him the responsibility to fetch a prospective groom for his kid..........
Meanwhile akila understood the honesty in kathir's words.......
Even if known for few hours she felt good vibes on seeing him which she didn't feel on the other day while seeing jeeva........
Parvathy amma thinking for a long time finally spoke......
P:Ivaru enga ponna unga 2 vadhu magan maathiri emaatha maatarnnu enna nichayam????
Before lakshmi amma could answer this too...........
K:Naa oru thadava en vaazhkaila mudivedutha adhulerndhu ekkaranathukondum pin vaanga maaten.........Looking at jeeva with a sense of disgust Mathavangala maathiri naa illa......Mullayoda kaiya naa pudicha aayusukkum vida maaten..........Adhanaala andha bayam ungalukku venaam........Konja naal aanalum enga vaazhkaya naanga sandhoshama maathippom..........
He said with full on confidence to parvathy amma which satisfied the mother.........
And of course he already have unknowingly covered everyone in the family except mullai by his honesty and straightforwardness..............
As mullai was in no mood to listen or assimilate anything she stood there quiet thinking of the conversation she had with her sister in the pond again and again..........
M(MV):Akka andha kolakaraila maapla per sollumbodhe idhellam sollirndha embuttu nalla irundhurkkum..........Idhenna avlo periya vishayama??Andha mama thaan naa kaadhalikkaravanga nu akka sollirndha sandhoshama vittu velagirppene..........
She herself didnt realise how can she happily let her sister marry the person with whom she dreamt of leading a happy life...........
She herself was not able to understand the feeling within her...........
Here........
Both murugan and pugazh had no other go rather than believing their wives..........
As previously they ignored their womanly instincts and took decision fruit of which they are having by then...........
While akila and parvathy stood firm on their ground to get mullai married to kathir.......
And of course details given by pugazh about this family is one of the reasons that made them take this decision as except the anger nothing else was there to reject kathir.........
And mullai who cant hate anyone needs such a nut-shell as her shield........
He is a capable bachelor and a hard-worker famous in their business............
So they chose to get kathir and mullai married happily..........
Thinking over and over........
They finally decided..........
Mu:Seringa..........Kathir thambi enga pullaya kattikka engalukku sammadham..........
He said shocking kathir to the core............
K(MV):Mullaya kekkamaye solranga.........Avalum amaidhiya irukka.........Kanna kooda kattina maathiri theriyalaye.......Ivanga en ipdi panraanga?Avalukku viruppama nnu therilaye.........
He chose to ask them.........
K:Mullaikitta kekkama neengale epdi solringa????
Mullai who was constantly hearing her name from him righteously looked up at him........
That was the first time she looked directly at him.........
Their eyes clashed............
World stopped in that instant...........
Their eyeballs forgot to rotate.......
Their lashes forgot to blink.........
Something deep clashed within their minds in a single look........
Both stood there quiet for a few seconds and got back to real world immediately............
Mullai as per her habit looked down on the floor while kathir looked up at other family members expecting a proper answer.............
Thats when akila bent near mullai asking.............
A:Papa.......unakku ok va???
Kathir searched for someone here and there...........
His friends who were watching everything quietly again neared him and patted his shoulder........
Re:Enna machan thedra??
K:Illa da avanga papa inga kanna kitta irukke adhaan anga yaara solrangannu thedren.........
Sh:Machan......Surprised tone Sathyama unakku puriyalaya da??
K:Dei.......erkanave 1008 prechana kozhappam idhula all of a sudden decide aana indha marriage nee vera en da enna pottu paduthara???
Re:Avanga mullaya thaan da papa nnu solranga.........
Kathir stood there shocked unable to find a proper answer............
Meanwhile,
Mullai again looked up at him.........
And bowed her head again........
Akila gently caught hold of her cheek and said.........
A:Anni sonna keppalla papa.......Ivangala kattikka onakku ok ah???
M:Avughalukku........Anga........Akka ku oru maathiri irukaadha??Enakkume orey edathula oru maathiri irukaadha??
Akila's eyes welled up for a moment........
How can in all these commotions she can think of the comfort of the one who cheated her.........
And of course her point was totally correct........
She herself cant predict how will she feel when she witnesses jeeva with meena in front of her.......
Soon she composed herself........
A:Papa.....adha pathilam yosikaadha.....Onakku avara pudichirkka??
M:Adhellam theriyalaye anni..........Avughala enakku theriyaadhe.......Apramepdi pudichirkku pudikkalannu solla???
She said with a cute innocent pout...........
A:Seri papa..........Vidu.........Naa kekkala.......avara kattikiriya????
Mullai looked up at her family who were patiently waiting for her response...........
M:Ungalukkellam ok nna enakkum serinni..........
She finally said yes for which all are waiting for.........
All the while jeeva and moorthy stood there quiet........
Meena too was not able to say anything..........
But when mullai said yes she quietly went to her father asking........
Me:Appa........en ppa indha mudivu??Ipo enakkum jeevakkum kalyanam aagume......papa epdi jeevaum naanum irukka veetla iruppa??Ava porama..........
P:Ei vaaya adakki pesu...........ava epdinnu onakkum theriyum..........Idhukku mela ipdi pesuna ponnunu kuda paaka maaten veluthu kattiduven...........
Me:Maa.............naa andha arthathula sollala ma......Papa pathi enakku theriyum.........Aana oru varutham avalukku irukkume......Namakku kedaikaadha onnu akkaku kedachirkke nnu yekkam varume mma........
Pu:Ei onakku kedachadhoda oru better option thaan papakku kedachurkku........Solla pona bestu option.....Aana idhellam nee en kekkara??Akkara irundhurndha unmaya munnadiye sollirppa thaana......Idhukkumela pesi ennoda kovatha kelaraadha.........Pesama poidu.........
Me:Illanna............
Pu:Pesadha meena dhayavu senju.............
He said with a true anger...........
Meena understood she cant speak anything further..........
As she knows only when angry pugazh calls her as meena.........
She looked at mullai for help who didn't even lift her face...........
when finally she looked at akila, she gave her her usual patent angry stare............
the stare which usually prevails between akila and meena ever since akila married pugazh.......
Meena became quiet.............
Silence prevailed.........
L:Apramenna kathiru......Poi uduppu maathittu manamedaila okkaru......
Moorthy who was also not in agreement with this arrangement tried to voice out his opinion in somewhat logical way........
Mo:Maa........Epdimma indha kalyanam panna??
L:En ppa unakkenna adhula prechana??Pannikaravane serinnu sollittan.......
Mo:Maa.......Neengale ipdi pesuna epdimma??
L:Vera epdi moorthy pesa solra??Neeyum un pondattiyum senja kaariyathukku........
Mo:Maa.....Ipo adhu mukkiyam illama.........
L:Vera ennappa mukkiyam??
Mo:Kathirukku moothavan jeeva......Avan apdiye nikkaran.......Epdi kathirukku seiya??Adhoda......Annanukku nichayam panna ponnu...andha nichaya modharatha kuda kaila potrukku......Epdi ivan kattippa???
Kathir got irritated to the core........
He stood there thinking for some moments........
Deciding something he moved towards mullai.........
Caught hold of her hand and removed the ring from her ring finger despite it being tight.......
And threw it down...............
Those who put the ring felt a tight virtual slap on their cheeks..........
K:Nichayam nnu onnu nadandha kadaisi adayalam kuda pochu......Idhuku mela oru thappum seiyaadhavala pathi thappa pesaadhinga...........Looking at jeeva, moorthy and meena Ellarkum sethu solren.........Pesara vela inime vendam.............
L:Podhuma moorthy........Erkanave neengallam panna kaariyam podhum nna ipo aaga vendiyadha paakalama??
Moorthy stood there quiet with guilt as he is also one of the reasons for all the chaos happened..........
L:Kathiru.......
K:Maa.........
L:Poda..........
K:Serimma.......
Saying this he went to change...........
After which things speeded up like anything..........
They got everything ready.........
Thats when moorthy again came to lakshmi amma..........
Mo:Maa...........Nadandhadhu nadandhu pochu......Apdiye jeeva-meena kalyanamum.........
Lakshmi amma turned to give him a look which if had powers will burn him ash...........
L:Asingama illa onakku ipdi kekka??
She asked in a low deep tone.........
Mo:Maa............
L:Moothavannu onna naa perusa thittunadhilla.......Adhanaala solren......Dhayavu senju poidu........
Mo:Illamma.........
L:Vendam moorthy........Nammalaala emaandha oru ponnu inga azhara.......Ava kannu munna emaathunavanukku kalyanam panni vekka solriye neeyellam manushana???
Mo:Maa..........
L:Modhalla mullaikku thaan kalyanam.......Kathiroda..........Apram endha raja endha pattnam aadhu pogattum.........Enakkenna??
Saying this she moved towards stage leaving behind a startled moorthy..........
Kathir got ready........
his friends got some lone time with him finally..........
Both by then decided to say him the truth..............
Sh:Hesitantly Kathiru.......
K:Hmm.......sollu da..........
He was as usual calm holding a storm within him........
Though he said yes whole-heartedly, he had palpitations within him.........
Which he was trying hard to hide..........
Re:Nee ok ah kathiru??
K:Hmm........Ok da.......
Sh:Dei nee kandippa sure ah da indha decisionlla??
K:En da apolerndhu adhaye kekkara??
Sh:Onnumilla da........Silence prevailed for some moments......Post which he called him again.........Dei.......unakku mythili oda classmate sollirkenlla enga Veetukku appappa varuva nnu............
K:Yaaru un Thangachi oda andha bayandhangoli friend thaana??
Sh:Ama da.......
Even in that state of his life he gave an irritated look..........
K:Andha ponna Edhukku da thevaillama Inga nyabaga paduthara......samayathula kaduppu thaan vardhu andha ponna nenacha......Naa erkanave irukka tensionlla andha kannadi bommaya vera en da nyabaga paduthara???
Sh:Adhu machan...........
Thats when Jega entered to take kathir to stage.........
Kathir went with him........
Shiva and rehaan went behind him to say the truth..........
When kathir sat there reciting the mantras..........
Shiva came and sat beside him while rehaan behind him..........
Meanwhile, Iyer said "Ponna azhachundu vaango"..........
Mullai came there with her usual bowed head...............
Sh:Dei kathiru........
K:Enna da romba nerama enna solla nenaikkara???
Sh:Dei.......ipo sonniye kannadi bomma adhu vera yaarumilla da.....Indha...........
Iyer:Maapla pullayaandan setha thirumaangalyatha vaangungo.......Nalla naazhi pordhu.....Erkanave romba naazhi aayiduthu........
Kathir got the "Thaali" from his hand............
Iyer:Kettimelam kettimelam.................
Sh:Mulla thaan da andha friend..........
Shiva said actually shouted it over the drums noise finally keeping aside all his inhibitions...........
Kathir got shocked............
Iyer:Maapla......Thirumaangalya thaaranam pannungo..........
Kathir looked at mullai's bowed head.........
That time she too looked up at him..........
Thats when he noticed the slight fear in her eyes..........
Which he never ever wanted to see in his partner's eyes..........
But........
something else in those eyes...........
Made him.........
TIE HIS NAME'S ETERNAL KNOT ON HER NECK..........
AND MAKE HER HIS END AS WELL AS BEGINNING AND EVERYTHING.................
Without an ounce of hesitation but with hell lot amount of confusion and sadness...........
TBC....................
