Recap: Aravind spent some quality time with Sithara..
"Lekha.. maaplaiku kuduka vendiya gifts ellam bagla vechiti(ya).."
(Raghu stopped in the middle seeing Lekha who was wiping her tears looking Sithara's photo.. he went near her while sensing him she turned with a smile..)
Lekha: Sithu roomla ellathayum pack panitingala.. avlo tha inga almost ellam eduthu vechiten.. car vanthona kelambalam..
(with that she stood to move but stopped when Raghu took the frame from his hand and smiled caressing her smile..)
Raghu: nethu tha ivala mudhal mudhala kaila vanguna mari iruku.. adhukula evlo valanthutala, inaiku avaluku kalyanam..
(he chuckled while Lekha smiled and leaned on his shoulders caressing the photo..)
Lekha: nama ipa varaikum avaluku oru nalla appa, ammava irukave ilala.. (Raghu looked her with different emotion and tears rolled down from her eyes..) as a parent, nama thottutom la nga.. avaluku nama oru nalla childhooda kudukala.. hmph.. avaluku tha childhood nu onnu ilave ilaye.. oru appa ammava avaluku avaloda educationa kuda nama kudukalanga.. ipa vaazhka ennanu theriyurathuku munadiye kalyanam ngra oru periya commitment kula avala thalli vida porom.. ithellam romba thappu ila.. paavam nga kozhandha, namaku ponna vanthu poranthu amma, appangra bakiyatha namaku kuduthatha vida ava enna paavam panna.. avaluku yenga nama ipdi pannom..
(Raghu sat on the bed while tears fell down to his cheek as Lekha's words pierced his heart.. he closed his eyes trying to erase the memory of her laying unconscious in the bed with her body was surrounded with various wires and medical equipments.. Lekha sighed inwardly for bringing the topic as Raghu's whole body started shivering and his tears also increased as he was hugging Sithara's photo tightly to chest.. she quickly moved to a side table and took a BP pill and opened the water bottle before gave it to him..)
Lekha: yenga.. BP tablet podunga.. tension aagathinga Sithu patha bayanthuruva.. apram avalum aluga aarambichi kaariyame ketrum.. olunga kanna thodachitu indha tableta vangi podunga.. pudinga.. (she inserts the tablet in his hand while he looked her in the broken state..)
Raghu: nammalala avangala ethuvume panna mudilala.. (suddenly his face turned rigid as he gritting his teeth..) andha naaiya, nama apdiye vittutomla.. thappu panna avan nalla irukan aana en ponnu..
Lekha: avaluku enna.. avalum nallatha iruka.. inimelum nalla tha irupa.. inga parunga, neega avana pathi yosika kuda maatenu enaku sathiyam panni kuduthurukinga.. olunga ellathayum maranthutu elunthu vanga nama kovilku poganum.. ellam en thappu tha vaaya vechitu summa irukama etha ethayo solli ungalayum kasta paduthikitu nanum kasta pattukura.. che.. enaku arive ila.. nalla naal adhuma.. ellarum ipdi aluthukitu iruntha epdi.. elunthuringa.. poi Sithu kulichitu vantalanu parunga.. ponga.. andha photova mudhala kudunga.. elunthu ponga nga.. soldren la.. avala poi parunga..
(she pulled him up while he took a long breath and wiped his tears before getting out of the room leaving Lekha who silently stood there letting her tears fell down her cheek for a while..)
(After few minutes, Lekha came out wiping her tears and chuckled seeing Sithara who was sleeping sat on the couch that too with her night dress.. Lekha took evil eyes from Sithara before knocking her head made her jerked from her sleep and looked Lekha with a glare..)
Sithara: yen ma elupi vitta.. inum nightey pogala adhukula ethuku elupuna..
Lekha: eii.. nee thana di kalyanam, kalyanam nu aarvama iruntha.. ipa ipdi soldra..
Sithara: kalaila thana ma kalyanamnu sonna nightey ethuku ready aaganum..
Lekha: ithu night ila papa.. early morning 4.30, ipa kelambunatha kalaila 6 to 7.30 muhurthathuku correcta irukum.. ithula Vijaya paati vers kalyanatha brahma muhurthathula veikalamnu sollitu irunthanga.. avanga sonna mari apa vechiruntha paavam Aravind unaku indha night dress la tha thali kattirupan.. nalla vela un appaku correctana timela moola vela senji muhurtha timea maathunaru.. ilana enna aairukum.. seri kulichitu thirupi ethuku night dress potta, vera dress poda vendiyathu thana..
Sithara: nee thana ma sonna.. koiluku poi pudhu saree kattanumnu adha ithuve potukita.. sari, Aravindum ipa elunthurupana.. avanuku thookam varathu..
Lekha: avan enna una mari thungu moonjiya thungi valiya.. podi poi olunga vera nalla dressa pottutu va, car innum konja nerathula vanthurum.. (she nodded and turned to move but stopped and turned to Lekha again..)
Sithara: (whispered) ma.. appa kanna paathiya red aa iruku.. nethu nee sonnala appa aluvarunu adhe mari alutharu pola ma..
Lekha: aama.. una Aravind veetla thaniya vitta nee bayanthu poi veetuku varanu adam pudipanu solli alutharu.. na nethey sonnala avaru una nenachi bayapdraru papa..
Sithara: ma.. na Aravind veetla bayapdama irupen ma.. na Aravind kuda badhrama irunthutu sekiram vanthuren ma.. paru na aluga kuda ila.. nee appa kita solli avara aluga vendamnu sollu..
Lekha: na sonna avaru kekka maatrau thangam.. neeye avaru kadha pudichi thirugi alugaiya mulunga sollu apatha adanguvaru..
Sithara: po ma.. appa pavam valikum.. na appava tighta hug panni, avaru cheek la kiss panni smile panna sonnave pothum.. he will smile.. nee po appa alutha na paathukura..
Lekha: oh.. saringa periya manushi.. neegalachi unga appavachi epdiyo ponga.. aana varum bothu indha night dressa matum maathitu vanthurunga, sagikala..
(Sithara sulked at her before ran to her room to change her dress while Lekha stood there gulping her tears..)
"Meera.. inga vaa.." Meera ran from the back side of the temple while Vijaya arranging things as per Iyer's instructions..
Meera: enna aththa.. ethavathu venuma..
Vijaya: neram aaiduchi poi Aravinda kutitu va.. avan ready aaitanla.. apdiye Raviya vara sollitu po..
(Meera nodded and left to bring Aravind to the mandap for initial rituals.. after few minutes, Badhri and Meera bring Aravind to the mandap.. he was wearing a purple silk shirt and white silk dhoti with matching border adding to that his messy hair and stubble beard made him looks more handsome.. Seeing him, Vijaya gave him wide smile and cracked her knuckles to take evil eyes and took him near Iyer..)
Iyer: maapla.. vanthacha.. vanga thambi.. (Aravind nodded at him with a small smile..) maaplaiyoda thaai mamava vanthu maalai pottu, nethila pottu vechi vida sollunga.. avanga kaal vilunthu aashirvadham vangitu mana medaila ukaralam.. (at the right time Kailash, Ravi and Raghu came there, seeing him they smiled..)
Vijaya: Ravi Yamuna enga..
"Inga iruken ma.." Yamuna came from backside..
Vijaya: enga di pona..
Yamuna: Sithuva ready panitu iruntha ma.. evlo azhaga iruka theriyuma.. andha saree romba poruthama iruku avaluku.. (Aravind felt butterflies inside his stomach hearing Yamuna's words..)
Vijaya: (smiled) sari.. first vanthu maalai pottu vidunga rendu perum.. Ravi va..
(Both Ravi and Yamuna came forward and got the garland from the Iyer and prayed to the deity before placed that around Aravind's neck with a happy smile.. Aravind smiled in reflex and touched both of their feet and they touched his head..)
Ravindran: inime ellam nallatha nadakum.. (Aravind smiled at him and hesitatingly turned to Yamuna while she caressed his hair with welled up eyes shocking him..)
Yamuna: nee inime nallarupa thangam.. (she blessed him while his eyes turned wet.. he nodded at her with a smile and both made him sat before the small agni kundam and Iyer started the rituals.. after few minutes, Iyer asked them to bring Sithara..)
(Aravind's breath hitched the moment his eyes fell on her.. she was wearing yellow color silk saree with purple border pairing up with a purple blouse.. her neck and ears was adorned with a matching necklace and jumkhas.. her hair was braided and adorned with Jasmine flowers and adding to that her simple makeup and her natural innocent smile made her look like a goddess.. she gave a bright smile seeing Aravind for which his lips curved with a shy smile.. Vijaya smiled and kissed her forehead and took the evil eyes while Iyer gave the garland to her..)
Iyer: ponnoda thaai mamava vittu indha maalaiya poda sollunga..
(both Raghu and Lekha looked each other and before they say anything Kailash and Meera came forward and got the garland from Vijaya.. both Raghu and Lekha smiled at them while they put the garland around her neck and she was asked to get the blessings from elders before sat next to Aravind..)
(After few minutes, it's time for the muhurtham.. Aravind was asked to tie the nuptial thread.. Iyer showed the thread to the god before gave that to Aravind.. Aravind got the nuptial thread from him and looked Sithara who smiled looking at him.. taking this as a grant he tied the nuptial thread around her neck while others blessed them with a happy tears in their eyes.. Meera knelt and kissed Sithara's temple while Badhri hugged Aravind and congratulated him.. Sithara looked Aravind with a happy smile which reflects in his face..)
(Aravind was asked to kept the vermillion on her hair partition and followed by the couple asked to come around the agni kundam and the couple got everyone's blessings by touching their feet.. after that Aravind made her wear metti and finally Iyer announced them as a husband and wife..)
Iyer: ponnu maaplaiya moolavar sannithi azhachindu poi oru archana pannitu apdiye praharatha moonu vaati valam vara sollunga.. apram veetuku kutitu poi paal pazham kuduthutu, unga sambrathayatha senjikalam..
(they nodded and took them to the main praharam while Yamuna's eyes caught something as she stopped in her track..)
Yamuna: yenga oru nimisham.. Meera anga paru namma Vanitha mari ila..
(everyone turned to the way she
Showed while Aravind's face turned rigid hearing Vanitha's name.. he gritted his teeth when Kailash called her who was standing near the pillar turning other side..)
Kailash: ma Vanitha... (Vanitha wiped her tears before turned to him with a smile.. seeing her others too moved near her..)
Lekha: yenga.. Vidhyavum, Vanithavum family oda vacation poirukanga adha kalyanathuku varlanu sonninga..
(she looked Raghu questioningly while he looked her without knowing what to answer.. their trance broken hearing Meera..)
Meera: Vani.. yen kannulam sevanthuruku.. aluthiya..
Vanitha: athellam ethuvum ila anni.. adhu winter adhigama irukula adha orey cold iruku.. lighta fever vera iruku adha apdi theriyuthu..
Kailash: fevera.. yen engita sollave ila.. Doctor kita poniya enna sonaru..
Vanitha: bayapdathinga na.. adhellam onnum ila normal fever tha, climate change othukala avlotha..
(slowly her eyes fell on Aravind and Sithara, she smiled looking Sithara who looked her with a frown while both Raghu and Lekha smiled at her..)
Raghu: Vanitha.. epdi ma iruka..
Vanitha: nalla iruken na.. neega epdi irukinga.. sorry na, nanga oru trip la maatikitom.. early morning than vanthom.. adha kalyanathuku vara mudila.. anna kovil peru sonnaru adhuvum na maranthuta..
Yamuna: apa inga epdi..
Vanitha: adhu na regulara velli kelama morning indha koviluku varuven.. inaiku apdi tha vantha.. neega irunthathayum na gavanikala.. sorry..
Raghu: paravala ma.. adhunala enna.. inaiku nee pasangala aashirvadham pannanumnu iruku.. Lekha, atchatha konjam eduthu kudu Vanitha kita.. (Lekha nodded and moved to take the atchadhai while Vanitha caressed Sithara's head..)
Vanitha: azhaga iruka da.. (she looked her dad while he smiled and introduced Vanitha to her..)
Raghu: ithu namma Arvaindoda aththa da.. (Vanitha looked Aravind who was stood there even without looking her face.. she gulped her tears and got some yellow rice from Lekha..)
Kailash: Aravind aththa kaal la vilunthu aashirvadham vangikonga rendu perum.. (Aravind fisted his knuckles to control himself while Kailash nudged him..) enna da po..
(Vanitha started getting nervous guessing his state while Sithara pulled him with her and bent down and before he bent his phone rang got their attention.. quickly he moved from there swiping the call while Vanitha looked his retreating figure with yearning.. her trance broken when Sithara touched her feet, she blessed her with a smile while Lekha looked her doubtfully..)
