He opened one eye a little and asked enna dee
Ponga inga irukkaatheenga velia ponga she mumbled
He got up in a hurry
Ey en ma ippo enna aachu
Velia ponga soldren la she said
Naan yen di velia poganum
Kathir was talking patiently because her expressions belied her words
Ellarum vanthuduvaanga
Athukku
Avanga nenaichathu nadanthuduchu ndra santhosham avangalukku kedaiyathu
Ethu
Nethu namakku sandai nadanthathu nadanthathaave irukkattum

Naan thaan pogave illiye
Athu namakku thaane theriyum
Seri ippo enna pannanum athe sollu
Avanga varum pothu inga irukka koodathu she said in a low voice
She had clearly not thought it through ..he could see..
He fixed her with a stare
She tried defiantly holding it for a few
minutes
But unable to sustain..she looked down
Taking a huge breath he finally asked
Eppudi ippudiye kelambattuma ille pal velakki kulichuttu kelambalaamaa
Nalla kulichuttu naan podara tea..seyyara tiffin ellam saappittu appuram raja mathiri kelambina pothum ..aanaa ellarum varathu kulla she said with a sliver of a smile
Oh seri
He decided to humour her
Her ego was hurt..he could understand her state and he had no qualms pampering it
He came out in 15 mts
She had a hot cup of tea ready for him
He relished that
Enna di pandra
Bread upma
Bread vechu upmava..ritu..vaasam semma..he appreciated
Once done she looked at him
Romba seekkiram la..
Hmmm he smiled..unakku naan ippove saappidanuma
Dabba la pottu tharattuma
Hmm Seri kudu
He took the tiffin box
Saappidanum
Micham veikkaama sappiduven he smiled
And then
Inga vaa he said pulling her to him
Naan onnu keppen unmaiyaa bathil sollanum
She looked in his eyes
She could understand the question there
She smiled at him and locking her arms behind his neck..she tilted her face up and kissed him..on his lips ..gently at first but by the time they broke for some air the passion levels had risen
Neenga eppo thirumbi varuveengannu kaathu kittu iruppen..she answered his unasked question
Ethukku he teased her having gotten his answer
Nethu namma vaazhkai aarambichathulla enakku Romba santhosham..athulla ungalukku santheghame venaam..athukkum thaan kaathu iruppen..aanaa athukkappuram naama pesinathu..ethana vishayam irukku namakku pesa.she sighed resting her head on his shoulders
Seekkiram varattuma
Eppovum pola vaanga she murmured
His face fell
She held his face
Please kochukkaatheenga..thappa eduthukkaatheenga..enakku ennamo avangalaala thaan namma santhoshamnu avanga yosikka koodathu
Yen ivvalavu adam
Virunthu poittu vantha night enna panneenga

Ithuvum Seri thaan..etho pannittaanga viden
Illenga unga annikku suthama arive kedaiyaathu she vehemently said and biting her tongue she looked at him out of the corner of her eye
Avanga pannathu pudikkalennu palichunnu sollidu avanga vanthathum he said clearly struggling to control his discomfort
Avangalukku ingeetham nu onnu iruntha thaane
Mullai pothum
Athaane anni ya sonna pothukittu varume..ponga angittu
And bunching her pallu up she tucked it in her hip and started walking out
He pulled her back by her arm and brought her crashing against him
Pesittu irukkom la enga pora
Neenga thaane pothum sonneenga
Anni ya pathi pothum nu sonnen
Prachanai ye avanga thaan
Marupadiyum soldren..yen anningarthukkaaga nee ellam poruthu poganum ellam naan sollale..kovamaa sandai podarthukku munnadi pathavaagamaa eduthu solla muyarchi pannunnu soldren
Mudiyathu came her emphatic reply
Eyes glinting with unshed tears she stared at him defiantly
He sighed and shrugged his shoulder
Seri unakku enna venumo pannu..aanaa antha nimisham enakku enna thonutho athe thaan naanum en karuthaa solluven..he said
She looked at him dolefully
Theriyum neenga unga annikku thaan support pannuveenga nu she said sniffling
azhaathe..oru mathiri irukku he said kissing her and hugging her tight..Mudinja varai othungi irukka paarkkaren..unakkaaga..
She continued sniffling
Seri support pandren he conceded
He looked at him with a smile
enna dee panni vechu irukka enna..ore night la..Santhana vaasam vera aala mayakkuthu he groaned
She giggled
Sirichu santhoshama iru..Seri naan kelambaren
Kathir left home as early as 5:45
Mullai stood watching him leave feeling very sad
But she had to fight this
This ugly intervention in the name of family..the assumed right over another person's personal space..all the lying and cheating..plotting and planning
She had had enough of it
And crying over all this was how the family found her when they returned
She had not cleared up the mess she had made the previous day
Enna aachu Mullai Dhanam was all concerned
But Mullai shook her off rudely
Thodaatheenga ka she said
Yen pa enna aachu Moorthy asked
Innum enna maamaa aaganum she asked
Kathir enga ma..Lakshmi amma asked
Inga irukka koodathunnu anuppichutten she said
Ethu Lakshmi amma bristled up

Mullai Dhanam gasped

Enna dee soldra Moorthy was confused

Moorthy facepalmed himself

Dhanam gulped

Moorthy looked at Mullai
Irunthaalum nee Kathir ah velia ellam poga solli irukka koodathu pa..
Athu enakkum en purushanukkum nadoola maamaa..thayavu senju vittudunga
Moorthy went silent
But Dhanam bristled up
Mullai yaar kitta pesaromngara nyaabagam irukkattum
And just as Dhanam was warning her
Parvathy and Murugan came in
Ammadi Mullai
Appa
Enna ma...ethaachum prachanaiya

Mullai Nethu thideernu ivarukku phone panni Dhanam Moorthy ethaachum solli irukkaangalaannu etho kettu irukka..athaan enna nnu kettuttu polaam nu vanthom

Hmm romba sutham..naalu per irunthaale romba naagareegama nadappaappule she started
Amma Mullai screamed
Everyone stood shocked
Enna nenaichuttu irukkeenga ellaarum she yelled

Mmppcchhhh..unga kitta ellam pesarthe waste uh she said and walked off
Everyone went about their work
At the shop
Kumaresan maamaa was surprised to see Kathir at the shop so early
Ele ennele ivvalavu seekkiram kadai thoranthu vechu irukka
Amaam maamaa muzhippu vanthuduchu athaan
Ele motha kudumbamum neeyum Mullaiyum anyonyama irukkanum yosichu onnu senja nee ennadaa

Hmm ennavo po
Later when Moorthy and Jeeva came Kathir was surprised to see Moorthy cold shouldering him
But when he did it in front of a customer he lost it
Annan he snapped once the customer left
Moorthy glared at him..
en mela kovam na athu veettoda..velai edathula ithellam panna naan summa irukka matten he grumbled
Enna da pannuva Moorthy challenged
Yerkanave rathiri thoongala..naan veettukku poren ..innikku oru naal neenga paarthukkonga and left the shop
He drove the bike Moorthy's many adei's falling on deaf years
He parked at a deserted place
And called her
Hello came her feeble voice
Enna dee pandra

Neengala..phone la kural kandu pidikka mudiyale..

Mullai got ready and came out
Athai naan velia poittu varen
Enga nnu ellam sollittu porathu illiya Dhanam asked
Mullai ignored her completely and walked out
He was waiting outside the temple already
Seeing her walk in he smiled
Azhagi he whispered
Mullai was confused
Phone la appudi pesittu ippo konjareenga
Eru
She got on
They rode in silence for some time
Enga porom
Unmaiya sollanumna theriyale ..unakku engayaachum poganumnu aasaiya
Padathukku polaamaa
Hmm polaam
He took her to Kaaraikudi
They had a hearty lunch and then they went to a nearby theatre
They booked 2 tickets and were ushered in
Theirs was a couple seat on the top row
They were a little early
They settled down comfortably
Enna thideernu enna veliya koottittu ellam vanthu irukkeenga she asked
Mothalla kittakka vanthu ukkaaru he said
She shuffled closer to him
Hmm ippo sollunga

She looked down
Athaan unne thontharavu panna koodathu nu konjam thaniya vitten
Thanks nga
He looked around and gave her a quick kiss on her cheek
Thanks epudi sollanum theriyaatha he whispered
Rathiri namma roomla she smiled
He smiled back at her
The movie soon started
Once the movie was over, they went back home
He dropped her at the temple and told her he would come an hour or 2 later
Dhanam tried asking a 100 questions to Mullai about where she had gone
But it all fell on deaf years
That night at dinner
Kathiru appudi thaan pondaattiya thaniya vittuttu poviya Dhanam chided him
Yen anni neenga appudi thaan poi sollittu poveengala he snapped
Enna da yennaiye kelvi kekkare..iva enna da nna naal muzhukka engayo poitta..enga ethunnu onnum sollala
Unga nallathukkunnu puriyalaya pa

Room nu sonnathum Thaan nyaabagam vanthuchu..en maamaa..2 maasathula periya room yerpadu pandratha sonneengale ethaachum yosicheengala ..Mullai asked
Moorthy looked shocked
Dhanam started saying something
Romba puraa goonda irukku maamaa ..athukku enna pannanum parunga she continued
Again Dhanam opened her mouth
Intha mathiri panna vendiya velai evvalavo irukku..Athe vittuttu ethukku kudumbama poi koil la padukanum..meena kku enna thalai ezhuthu enakkaaga kashta padanumnu she again continued
Dhanam kept quite after that
Nee nenaicha udane ellam seyya ithu enna kadala urundai prachanaiya Lakshmi amma said in a reprimanding tone
Maamaa thaan kalyanam mudinju veedu vantha pothu sonnaaru 2 maasathula periya roomnu 4 maasam aayiduchu athaan ketten..neengalum iruntheenga thaane unga pullai athu sonna pothu..theriyaatha mathiri kekkareenga
Even Lakshmi amma became silent
Ippo enna thaan pa solla vara Moorthy snapped
Standing up Unga velai ennavo atha seriya time ku panna paarunga nnu soldren..athe vittuttu kandathula mookka nozhaichu kittu
And saying this she walked in
Enna Kathiru summa irukka Dhanam asked him
Enna anni venum ungalukku..en pondaattiya thitti pesaatha summa irunnu adakki iruntha santhoshama irunthu irukkumo he asked
Dhanam was stunned
Nethu neenga pannathu thappu..poi solli drama pottu..mudiyale..
Ennada over ah pesara Dhanam was annoyed
Neenga senjatha thaane soldren..poi sonneenga thaane..drama potteenga thaane..athe sonna over na..appo neenga pannathu over nu thaane artham he challenged

Maamaa enna maamaa summa irukkeenga Dhanam started
Lakshmi amma intervened
Dhanam intha veedu othumaiyaa irukkanum aasai padara la
Athai
Appo ithoda vidu ithukku mela ithe pathi nee oru pechu pesa koodathu
Seri athai..naan othungiye irukken Dhanam said wiping her tears
Namma thappa othukkanum..summa azhuthu agaathiyam panna koodathu..unna mathriye Mullaiyum intha veettukku vaazha vantha ponnu ..naane vittutten nee ethukku thirumba aarambikkara
Dhanam stood silent
The next few days were a little bleak
But things soon started becoming better
Kathir and Mullai were completely in love
For Mullai him telling his anni off was a huge thing
A month later
Meena was pestering Jeeva for a movie
Jeeva bought tickets for the whole family
One helluva car ride later they all rolled out
Kathir tried holding Mullai's hands but she shook it off
Ennaachu
Mmm car la othari vitteenga la
Nee thaane drama podanum sonna
Amaam soldraanga..appo ippo mattum ellarum irukkaanga thaane
Seri kochukkaathe please he said going all crinkly nose on her
She smiled at him
Moonjiya amul baby mathiri vechu kavukka vendiyathu vaanga she said
Once inside Dhanam said
Naanga ladies inppudi ukkaararom neenga gents appudi ukkaarunga
Meena glared at Jeeva
Anni avuha purushanoda vara aasai patta namma kudumbama vanthathe thappu..ithulla motha moraiya vanthu irukkaanga jodi ya ukkaara vidaama..yosichu ethuva irunthaalum pannunga anni Kathir said
Dhanam was a little hurt but she realised he was right too
Avan mattum thaanaa neeyum thaane motha vaatti neengalum sernthu ukkaarunga she smiled
Both Kathir and Mullai chuckled
Settling down in adjacent seats Mullai whispered
Unga anni seriyaana comedy piece nga
Ey romba ottaatha dee..he chuckled
Naan ottathaan seiven Mullai giggled
Appuram namma drama therinjudum parava illiya he warned
Parava ille she whispered
Oh appudiya..intha kaattaanoda santhoshama irukkennu othukka thayaar aayitta
Ille en athai paiyan Kathir oda santhoshama irukkennu she whispered
Oh appudi ..he offered his elbow and she linked her arm in his and settled to watch the movie
The end
