Jega, kasthuri, Sankar and suji had already come... Suji and Kasthuri were helping parvathi to pack food that she has prepared for the breakfast....
Sankar and jega were taking luggages to car while murugan checking for other stuffs...
Kathir arrived on time with moorthy...
San : vaanga ne.. vaa da kathiru...

Parvathi checked with moorthy and kathir for tea who denied it in turn... They started discussing about jeeva meena's situation and jana's health....
K mindvoice : yena yelarum irukanga... ivala mattum aala kaanom...vanthu ivalo neram achu... veliya varraala paaru...

Mullai came striding into the living room in hurry....
She stopped in same place looking at kathir and moorthy... she nodded at kathir and smiled at moorthy...
M : vaanga mama....
Mo : varen pa.. nalla irukiya...
M : nalla iruken mama...
Mo : mama.. ithula ambathairam iruku... koora pudavaiyum, sadangu pudavaiyum nanga than eh yedukanum...
Mullai's eyes locked with kathir's for a second and she turned aside blushing...
Mu : yethuku mapila ippave... apuram vangikarene...
Mo : illa mama... irukatum.. yeppo kudutha yenna....
Mulla unaku pidicha pudavai ah vangika pa... rate yellam paaka venam... inum kuda aanalum paravala... appuram amma unkita pesaren nu sonanga...

Je : sari chithapa... namalum kelambalama... mani anju achu...
Mu : mapilla??...
K : haan...kelambalam mama...

They took some groupies together and moved on to pair pictures...
Mu : sari pa neram achu.. povom....
San : sari mama...
Murugan, parvathi and kasthuri got into one car while jega got hold of driver seat....
Another car was occupied by Sankar, suji on the front and kathir, mullai on the rear...
They started to kanchipuram cheerfully...
San : dei estimated arrival paaru...

Sankar and suji started concentrating in which music to play...
K : Oi....
Kathir called her in a low husky voice...
M : hmmm....
K : pakathula varalame...
Mullai who was sitting beside driver seat moved near kathir...
He took her left hand in his embrace...
K : thalai vali sari agiducha...
M : oh thoongi yelunthathum sari agiduchunga...

M : akka mama irukanga... yena panreya......
K : illaa car la orathula ukanthuruken illaa... vilunthiduveno nu bayama irunthuchu.. athan pidichukaren.... vilunthuda kudathu illaa...
Mullai glared at his impassive face...
M : neenga ipadi panrathu, pesarathu kuda paravala... aana ipadi appaviya moonjiya vechukarenga parunga.. athu thanga mudiyala enala...
Kathir smirked a little...
K : irukarathu than... vidu vidu....
Sametime,
Suji called up kathir...
Suj : kathir ungaluku car plan surprise than eh...
He replied without taking his hands off her...

San : neeyum athe sevai ah than eh panre.. appuram yena... pesama vaaa...
Suj : unga amma madhiriye pesunga...
San : nan yena apadi pesaren...
Suji : nethu sonanga illa...
Suji and sankar started their fight and went busy with their talks...
Kathir and mullai didnt want to disturb them changed their attention to eachother...
It was start of the morning twilight.. It was pitch dark out and they were in highways with no much lights to intrude them... The insides of the car were ill-lit too...
The music selected by suji was playing in high pitch.... They couldn't hear the other couple anymore...
They felt secluded even though they had other two in car... kathir skimmed over his hand from her waist to her shoulders...
Mullai could feel more of his warmth combined with his proximity making her feel complete... She slipped more into his embrace instinctively forgetting where they are....
K : Oi....
M : hmmmm....
K : romba nalla iruku ithu... ipadiye irunthidalam pola...
M : irukalame....irutta than eh iruku... velicham vara varai irukalam...

M : hmm ok nga... yenga konjam kai ah yedukareghala....
K : yena achu...
M : yedunga... solren....
Kathir removed took out his hand from her unwillingly and in double quick time, she grabbed his arm and started caressing his palm...
K : intha morattu kaila yena than iruko unaku...
M : enaku pidichuruke...
K : oh ho...
She asked twisting his engagement ring,
M : yenga itha kalaatave illaya na potathuku apuram...
K : illaa... apadiye than iruku...
M : ungaluku than poda pidikaathe.. uncomfortable ah irukum nu soluviyale..
K : hmm.. ne potathu ache... ithu ilana than uncomfortable ah irukum...
Mullai raised her eyes to his.... As the car jiggled on its way on a coarse road, She brushed her lips against his cheeks using the lucky chance...
Kathir looked startled at her surprising lead...
K : yena thidirnu...
M (blushing) : aasaiya irunthuchu...
K : ivalo than aasaiya...
M : aama...
K : ne sonna antha naal intha rendu naala varuma...
M : varathe...
K : yepo than varum...

M : thirumba romba santhoshama...
K : aama ne kudukave venam.... na vera aalu yaaravathu paathukaren....
M (angrilly) : paathukonga...
She budged her hands and moved a little away from him not to seek much attention from suji....
After a minute of enjoying her anger,
K : pothum pakathula vaa...
M : yen en kovatha rasichu mudichacha...
K : kandupidichitiya...
M : oh... yepavo...
K : appo ithuku sandai poda maate...
M : maaten....
K : sari appo vaa...
They resumed to their old position with a smile...
M : yenga na onnu solava... thappa nenachuka kudathu...
K : yen ipadi yelam kekare... sollu...
M (with her usual baby pout) : thoongalama... thookama varuthu...
Kathir couldnt control his urge to respond to her cuteness...
He grazed his lips on her forehead...
K (smiling) : thoongu... aana enna ipadiye pidichitu thoongu...
M : hmmm... neenga???
K : na thookam varum bothu thoongaren...
M : saringa...
Mullai drifted to sleep in few minutes hugging him tight... Kathir saw sankar and suji still discussing over something with raised voices... He sat admiring mullai for sometime and unknowingly moved to sleep resting his head on mullai's head... The no sleep night and eachother's nearness made them sleep well....
After quite sometime, sankar questioned kathir on something and as there was no reply he turned only to see them sleeping....
San : yena de rendu perum thoongaranga...
Suj : yenathu thoongarangala....
San : aama paaren....
Suji and sankar was amused looking at them.....
Suj (laughing) : ungal raja thanthirangal aanaithum venagi vitathu amaichare... ithuka van venam nu car pidichenga...
San : un thangachi unna madhiri oru baeku nu theriyum... aana ivanum ipadi irupan nu theriyala....
Suj : hmmm unga thambi ungala madhiri than eh irupaaru...
Sankar and suji laughed at their banter...
San : sari yetho aaluku oru pakkam thoongama senthu thongarangale... athu varai paravaala....
Suj : nanum athe than nenachen....thoongatum vidunga...
Around 8.15 AM...
Kasthuri called up to inform they have stopped in a place on the way to have breakfast and asked them to stop there too...
Sankar stopped the car well before...
Suj : yen mama ingaye nirutharenga... avanga car inga illaye...
San : ipadiye ivangala kutitu poi niruthuna enna ne sonna madhiri mama velai panren nu mudive paniduvanga... mudhala elupuvom...
Suj : oh aama illaa... mulla... mulla...
Mullai snuggled into kathir more...
San : sutham... dei kathiru... kathiru...
Suj : mulla... mullaa..
She shook mullai's knees... With the little jerk, mullai moved a little making kathir move too...
They didnt realise where they are, just opened half eyes and smiled at eachother without changing their posture...
K : Oi good morning...
M : good morning....
Suj : hmmm very good morning...
San : aama aama good morning.... konjam rendu perum engala paakarengala... nanga paavam...
Embarrassed mullai removed her hands from kathir...
K : sorry ne... konjam thoongitom...
San : konjama... rendu mani nerathuku mela thoongarenga da...
K : oh...
They looked at each other with a awkward smile....
M: aama yen mama niruthitenga...
San : athu sari... sapida nirutha solranga... avanga niruthitanga... athuku than elupinom...
K : oh sari sari ne...
Suj : mulla inum konjam thali ukaru de.. chithi, athachi paatha avalo than...
M : yen ka ipadi...
She moved to the other side of the seat....
San : sari sari polama....
K : polam ne...
They stopped at the place where the other car was and got down for breakfast...
