AN:-Thank you for the views, votes and comments. Our man Vetri is suddenly talkative and so this part became too long. I am splitting this as two sub-parts. This is Vetri and Vimala. Next one is a Vimala X Kamala. I have written the whole section and so will post both successively.
-----------------------------------------
In the Ekambareshwarar temple.
Vetri and Athai finish their prayers, or rather Athai finishes her prayers and Vetri follows her. Athai curates Sudar's message to Nandhi and asks for a happy life for Sudar with both her parents. Then, she buys some prasadam and goes and sits on the padithurai facing the water tank. Vetri sits on a step below hers. Athai gives him the thattai packet and they both take one each.
