Both Mullai and Kathir got shocked instantly.......
While kathir who already near the shop, dropped the vehicle as such and rushed inside to see what has happened.......
Here mullai, who was standing holding the bat on her hand now stood shocked wondering how he got hit as she didnt even lift the bat in her hand.........
Thats when kathir entered, noticing meena and jeeva in the doorway as well as surya in the floor muttering in pain with partial consiousness..........
His eyes completely scanned mullai to check whether she was ok or not........
Getting confirmed he heaved a sigh of relief......
Checking the surroundings he understood what would have happened........
Moving ahead he caught hold of surya's shirt and made him get up......
Meanwhile meena went and stood near mullai who was standing there like a statue.......
Me:Papa....Papa.......Nee okah d??
M:........
Me:Papa........
M:......
When meena touched her hands to shook her, she felt chills on her hand......
Me:Papa.....Dei jeeva.......Papa oranju poi nikkara paaru da......Kailam.......chillun......Papa.......Eii......Papa.....
Her tone and eyes automatically teared up in moments on seeing her sister like that........
Meanwhile Kathir who made surya stand up gave him a tight slap making him fall down again.......
Again catching hold of the collar and making him get up he raised his hand to give him a slap but controlled himself for a moment.........
K:En da........rascal..........ENNODA WIFE ENKUDA BIKELA EN IDUPPULA KAI POTTUTU VANDHADHA PAATHADHU MATTUMILLAMA ADHA ASINGAMA VERA PESARIYA DA??
He landed a thundering slap asking the question stressing each and every word.......
Before he could fall again kathir caught hold of him with his other hand..........
K:Epdiepdi.......evano oru porukki nee.......Nee ketta ava pesardhum naa ketta ava pesardhayum compare pannuviya???YOU BLOODY SCOUNDREL.........
Came another slap with his one hand and another hold with his other hand protecting him from falling down........
K:Enga.......Punidhamaana ava nezhala thodakuda thagudhi illadha kalangam pudicha azhukku manasu irukka onakku........AVA KEKKUDHO??
Came a slap and hold like the same way before.......
By then the skin on his lipside tore and it started bleeding.......
K:Apramenna ketta.........Ipo un padippu enga pochunna???Vera enna ketta.......Kathir with immense anger paused as he was not able to say those low standard words.......En pondattiyum, enganne pondattiyum nikkaila andha karumatha solla kuda enakku vaai varala.......Aana nee......ooraan veettu ponnukitta keppiyo??Adhum indha oorukke therinja kovakaaran.....en pondatti kitta.........BLOODY RASCAL.........
Came slap on other side and kathir holded him from falling down with his other hand.......
K:Ama.......no ah onnaya paathu sonna enna illa ava annana vittu unkitta sonna enna??"No" nra answer vandhuchilla........Apram enna mogaraya vechuttu inga vandhu thaniya irukka en pondattikitta vambu panna???Hmm???
Slapping consecutively by then he asked in a roaring tone..........
K:Dei.......Avala sonnalum.........ava annana vittu sonnalum........Amaidhiya sonnalum........Kathi sonnalum......sirichuttu sonnalum azhudhuttu sonnalum en kovama sonnalum kuda andha "NO KKU ARTHAM NO THAAN".............
Apram en da kalyanam aanadhukapramum kuda inga vandha???Avlo dhairiyamana aambalaya irundha naa inga irukkaila vara vendithaana??
Adhukkenna kaaranam sonna........
Prechana venaama??
Porukki rascal.......
Theriyudhilla.......
Nee seiya vandhadhu thappunnu theriyudhilla.........
Apram edhukku da vandha??
by then he started shouting hysterically the further words.......
And beating him step by step both of them reached the door almost when jeeva and meena stood there surprised near mullai as kathir knew the words spoke by surya more than they themselves knew..........
Infact, meena who was angry with kathir for letting her sister suffer alone and was about to pick a fight with him, now realised the fact that he never left her alone.......
Infact, he was there for and with her all the time.........
Her perspective about kathir started changing for good........A good start though........
Mullai was standing still looking at kathir.........
Though her mind caught kathir's every word and actions it didnt process any of that as she is a way too shocked to even realise anything........
There.......
Enna sonna ongappamma pesama ponadhukku iva kaaranama???
Adhukku pazhi vaanga vandheehalo........
Aiyo paavam..........
Aana nadakkalalla........
Poyen........Ipo po..........
Ongammatta poi sollu........
Amma amma naa ipdi oru pazhi vaangunen.......
Yaara pazhi vaangunen theriyuma ma??Avalum ongala maathiri oru ponnuthaannu poi sollu........
Sollu da.........POI SOLLU............
Apram paaru........Thaan kudutha paal epdi vela senjurkkunnu ongamma mechuvaaha onna........
Po da.........Po.........
Tears welled up in surya's eyes as soon as he heard his mother's name........
After all, he too was not a wrong person by character.......
Its his upbringing and few wrong societal examples made him do this..........
But now......
His parents..........
He remembered their stand in mullai's case..........
He by then feared that he may lose them permanently if any of this thing reaches them.........
Enna da poriya????
His voice thundered on surya's ears.........
He feebly nodded a no as kathir already have broken his whole face almost for talking and looking at his wife with ill words and eyes...........
Adada.........slap..........Ipdilam venaam nnu solla koodadhu da.......slap.........Modhalla nee poviyam.......Adhukapram........slap........police varumam........
surya looked at him startled with fear..........
Enna paakara?????Oh police epdinna??
Verbal harassment and attempt to molestation case........
Mulla case tharamaattannu nenaikaadha.......
EN WIFEKAAGA NAA THARUVEN.........
Safetykaaga naa onna adichennu solven.......
CCTV Footage prove pannum........
Enna paakara???Indha oorla CCTVahnna???
Thirudangalukku vechen........Onna maathiri.......slap.......porukki.........slap........maatirkka......
Poriya????
surya by then nodded a speedy no despite the pain in his face........
Thappu senja adha yethukka thairiyam irukkanum.......thaniya irukka ponnukitta veeratha kaatta vandhurkkiye.....vekkama illa onakku???Idiot......
with that he showered him with series of slaps......
Jeeva himself by then feared something may happen to surya......
Nearing kathir, he separated them both.......
Surya by then started bleeding alot.........
Kathir still was not able to control him.......
When he neared him again.......
J:Kathiru please.......Ivana konna kuda thappilla thaan........Aana venaam......Idhukkumela ivana adikkardhu setha pamba adikkara maathiri thaan.......vidu........
Jeeva's words made kathir slow down a bit...........
Catching hold of his collar kathir took him inside the shop where mullai was standing........
Kaalla vizhu........
surya stood there startled.........
He slapped him again saying.........
VIZHU DA........
surya fell down automatically........
Kathir's words and consecutive slaps made him realise what he was about to do........
He felt ashamed for his activities which made him automatically say sorry even without kathir asking him to do so..........
S:Sorry........sorry mulla..........naa.......panna...........dhu........thappu..........daan..........aana..........on kaalla vizharen........engapama.........idhu.........please.........solladhinga.......naa.........thappu........please......mannichu........
He was not able to say further as kathir forcefully picked him up........
K:Mannippu kekka kuda en pondattikitta nee pesakoodadhu...........Apram ennaketta.......kaasukaaga ivala iva familyla........slap.........avanga panatha paakaravanga illa da.......gonatha mattum paakaravaha.......
aana adhellam onnaya maathiri gonanketta porukkikku puriyaadhu.........
Mavanne.........Usuru venumnnu nenacha indha edatha vittu kelambu........
Inime inga onnaya naa paathen..........
Even before he could say something.......
Surya:Vara.....maaten sir.........Kandippa vara maaten..........
Kathir's anger still didnt subside.......
When he raised his hand to slap him again, jeeva controlled him again......
J:Kathir podhum.........vidu avana.........
With immense difficulty, he controlled himself and left surya........
Looking at jeeva........
K:Indha porukki en kannu munna nikka koodadhu........sollapona ivan indha arealaye irukka koodadhu..........
Ivan appammatta solli vittutu va........
Surya:in a pleading tone sir ven..........
K:interuppting in middle ivan korala naa ini kekka koodadhu...........
vittutu va.........Apdiye oru psychiatrist counselling kootittu poga sollu unmaya sollittu.......Hmm.......leave..........
Kathir said the actual solution needed for surya who was in depression........
This caught meena's attention who got more and more surprised on his gesture of doing good to someone like surya.........
By doing so he has given justice and solace to both mullai and surya in one form or another.....
Meena respected his Impartial behaviour in that case......
Jeeva with a nod to meena and kathir left the spot with surya.......
Kathir looked at mullai who was still standing as such........
He took one step forward to reach her, but controlled himself as meena was also there..........
He immediately turned around and left the spot even without uttering a word startling both meena and mullai to the core.........
Though nothing caught mullai's attention till then, the very sight of him leaving her then and there in that state hit her head.........
As if not able to hold herself she landed on the floor leaning on the wall behind.....
Me:Papa......papa........Eiii.........
Mullai after a very long traumatic time started shedding silent tears without uttering any single word further........
Kathir who went somewhere, returned in sometime only to find mullai shedding tears and her sister sitting there helplessly.......
As if increasing her tears more and more he asked that question in a blank tone to mullai........
K:Idha en enkitta sollalama vitta mulla??
Mullai looked at him startled.......
K:Ennaya vidu.......Oruthan unkitta "I love you" sonna onakku AVAN VENDAMnnu nee nenacha nera "No" sollanum nradhu kuda onakku theriyaadha??
M:..........
K:Onnoda amaidhi avanukku oru false hope nradhu onakku puriyalaya???Adhanaala embuttu prechana avanukkum nradha paathiya????
He asked with immense pain in his tone on knowing the fact that his wife has turned the reason of a person's mental instability.........
As he got to know nothing about mullai's response to surya.......
whatever he knew was only from surya's conversation to mullai which stated that she didnt say "No" to him directly which made him ask this question............
Ofcourse not as accusation but with pain as someone came and accused his wife of spoiling his life..........
But......
Mullai who was in a trauma on the sudden happenings looked at him with immense pain in her eyes..........
Without understanding the pain he got.........
Meena who just got a soft-corner on kathir got angry instantly on his open accusation..........
Ivangala inga ipdiye pause poda vechuttu vaanga namma kunnakudila murugan veetukku poitu varuvom.........
Where the three old people parvathy, murugan and kalaivani are worried much more for akila........
Mu-P house........
P:in a panicked tone Aiyo ennanga ipdi??Innum varalaye........1 mani nerathukku munna vandhurkkanumenga.........
Mu:though panicked he spoke in a composed tone Parvathy iruma.....padharaadha.......Aaspathirila daactar varra neramaayirkalam..........Ethanayo peru namma pulla maathiri poirpaahalla........vandhuruvaangamma.......Ipdi nee padharuna onakku pressureuh thaan erum........
Thambiyum illa pullayum illama ennayaala samaalikka mudiyuma sollu??
P:Mudiyalayenga........Padharudhe enakku..........Akila veetukku nallapadiya vandha podhumnnu irukku.........
Mu:Vandhuruva parvathy konjam amaidhiya iru.........Ammadi kalai........konjam solluma........
Kalai who was already in more panicked state didnt even listen to this conversation.........
But hearing her name being called by murugan she composed herself and wiped her silent tears........
Trying hard to speak in a normal tone.......
Kalai:Akka adhaan mama solraarullakka........Padharaadhinga.........Vandhuruva........Innum konja neram paapom.........Illana nammale aaspathiri poi paapom..........
P:Ippave polame kalai.......
Kalai:Polamkka aanalum konjam paapom.........Namma padharittu angana poi avalayum padhara vekka koodadhilla..........Illana......Irunga aaspathirikku phone poduvom firstu apram paapom.........Oruvela ipothaan kelambirundhaanna paadharama irukalamlla........
Gaining a ray of hope when they called the hospital and checked for patient named akila they got to know that she left the hospital before an hour..........
Getting shocked by the information, murugan got up to leave in search of his DIL they noticed the arrival of a vehicle in front of their home........
Much to their surprise, Janarthanan got down from the vehicle, moved to the other side and opened the door for akila........
When they all were looking at them with pleasant shock, Janarthanan helped akila in lifting her things and accompanied her inside the house..........
Gaining consciousness, parvathy despite her leg pain rushed towards her DIL followed by kalai and murugan in equal speed........
P:Akila enga d pona??En d imbuttu neram??To Janarthanan Kozhundhanaare..........Pulla enga kedachuchu ongalukku??
Nee paravaallaya.......daactar enna sonnaha.........Ennama aachu??
A:Atha.......konjam amaidhiya irunga.......enakku endha prechanayum illa.......Naa nalla irukken atha.........
Kalai:Ennanga.........Akila enga kedacha ongalukku??
Janarthanan instead of answering her gave an angry look to her...........
P:Thambi........
She said in a startled tone..........
Janarthanan giving a deep look to his SIL averted his gaze showing respect for their relationship........
Kalai:Akila ennama aachu??
A:Adhu atha.......naa doctorah paathuttu vandhuttrundhen..........enakku ellame oknnu thaan sonnaha.....test results lam........Vitamin tablets ezhudhi thandhaaha......Pharmacyla poi vaangittu vandhen........
P:interuppting in the middle Adhukkellam en ma nee pora??Ingana vandhu kuduthurndha on mama vaangittu vandhurpaarulla??
A:Atha.......naa nalla thaan irundhen.......adhaan........
She said in a tired tone........
Kalai:Irundhena?apo ipo mudilaya ma??Modhalla en nikkara??Vaa okkaru.......Akka neengalum valiyoda nikkadheeha........vaanga........
Janarthanan was still standing there without uttering a single word........
When they all settled parvathy gently caressed her hair........
Kalaivani got water for everyone to drink........
After they all had some water she asked her again.......
Kalai:Akila ipo solluma.......enna aachu??
A:Naa medicine vaangittu auto pidikka vandhutrundhen atha........Aana veyilla sattunu thala suthiruchu.......
P:Aiyayo......Roadla........onakku onnum aalaye ma......nee nee......Oru koda eduthuttu pogamaatiya d??
A:Aiyo........padharaadheeha atha......Ipo onnumilla.......
Kalai:Akka......kurukka kurukka pesi BP yethikaadheeha......Akila nee sollu........enna aachu??
A:Apothaan atha namma papa veetukaararu anga vandhaaru.........
This was not expected by them all........
P:Maaplaya???
A:Ama atha......Avaru thaan vandhaaru......Anga kadaikku avarum namma papavum vandhurpaanga pola.......Papava kadaila vittutu ivaru veliya vandhaaram oru velaya......Naa mayangunadhum paathu pudichutaaha.......
Kalai:Oh serima.......apo maapla enga??Ivara epdi paatha??
A:Adhum apothaan atha........naa mayangardha paathu mamavum odi vandhaaha.......angana thaan paathen........Sollapona mamathaan enakku thanni kuduthu carla okkara vechaaha nezhala.......
Mela paarunga FB povom......
After janarthanan and kathir helped akila to gain back her proper consciousness she realised her surroundings and tried to come out of the car.......
Thats when janarthanan spoke for the first time to akila after all those years of marriage.......
Jan:Pch.......mudilana okkara vendithaana??Adhukkulla endhirichu odi endha kottaya pidikka poraahalo therila.........
Kathir understood though said in an angry tone its his own way of showing concern.......
Though he wanted to give back in sarcastic tone, he didnt say anything.....
He wanted to ask how akila landed there in that state but before he could say anything.......
Jan:Daactartta polam.......
Announcing so when he moved towards the driver seat akila started speaking feebly........
A:Angerndhu thaan mama varen......monthly check-up.........
Jan:Oh........kuda yaarum varalayaakkum????
A:Mamakku vela........atha keezha vizhundhu kaalla adi.......
Jan/K:in a tensed tone Annikku/Athaikku enna???
A:PErusa onnumilla.....erkanave irundha moottu vali adhigamaayiruchu vizhundha kaiyoda......Naalaikku thaan vazhakkama paakara doctor varaaha......so ponum......
Jan:Oh......cheri......apo aaspathirikku povom.........
A:Venaam mama......prechana illa..........naa.........
Jan:Prechana irukka illayannu andhamma sollattum........nammale mudivedukka avanga edhukku imbuttu varusham thevaillama padikkanum??
Though he asked in a plain blank tone both kathir and akila were able to sense the care in it which made them stay quiet.......
Kathir gently turned around his watch to see the time as in the corner of mind he was thinking of mullai as she is being there alone for the first time ever in the shop.........
Janarthanan and akila noticed this.........
While the elder chose to stay quiet, akila spoke to him..........
A:Papa enga kathir????
K:Adhu naanga kadaikku velaya vandhom........ava thaniya irukka........naa kelambatta??Neenga paathupeehala???
He asked hesitantly bringing a smile in both janarthanan and akila's face..........
Controlling themselves akila replied him saying "Apo kelambunga kathir mama thaan vandhutaare........ennaya paathupaaru........neenga onga PONDATTIYA paarunga........"
Unknowingly a smile adored her lips making him reciprocate the same..........
Thats when mullai's call came, widening the others smile there........
While kathir too smiled thinking of his wife and picked the call only to hear something on the other side that made him stiffen himself.........
Controlling himself, he even without nodding to them rushed towards the bike which made akila and janarthanan to worry.........
But they chose to stay quiet as kathir was not there to reply too.........
By then janarthanan took akila again to doctor and ensured the fact that she is fine.........
Keezha vaanga........
A:Apram thaan naa mamaoda vandhen atha.........
Kalai:Andha kadavul thaan d onnaya kaapathirkaaru......
Jan:Apo onakku badhila kadavulaye saapda solla vendithaana????
He asked in a terribly angry tone shocking the others to the core..........
P:Thambi enna pechidhu???
Jan:Neenga pesaadheeha anni.......to kalai..........en d ingaye thaan irukka.......aana thevannum bodhu mattum enga d pova???
Onnu kedakku onnu aachunna kadal kadandhu poirkkavanukku enna moonjiya kaatuvomnnu yosikka maatta??
Edho maapla vandhaaru thappichom........Illana........
Oru nimisham epdi nadungunen theriyuma??
Apdi enna d marumaga pullaya paathukaama onakku visesam kekkudhu visesam????
His anger and his words despite hurting kalai soothed her as he accepted the fact that kathir is their SIL and akila as their DIL...........
As if realising the same murugan neared his brother and hugged him tightly calling "Kutty".........
He hugged his elder brother back calling him "Anna".........
Ofcourse everyone's eyes welled up on seeing this emotional unison after all these years.........
Dense silence prevailed and it was akila who broke the silence at first..........
A:Indha edathula papa irundhurndha superah irundhurkkum......Renduperoda meesa dhaadiya izhuthu kanava nenavannu check pannirppa...........ahn enga?Namakku thaan kuduthu vekkalaye........
She said making them all smile widely........
But mention of mullai worried janarthanan a bit who expressed the same through words........
Jan:Aana papa epdi irukaalo therilaye........andha thambikku pone vandhadhum avaru padhari adichuttu ponaare..............
These words worried others too.......
Zoom the worries in everyone's face........
Cut pannittu shopkku vaanga...........
Angayum oru zoom........
Mullai's tears, meena's anger..........
And........
Kathir's accusation.........
TBC............
