Dh : kathiru.. mullai vanthachu...

His eyes sprang to collide with hers in a snap...
And yes...
There she was...
Getting down from the car in the dress he wished to see binding entire beauty from the world into a single entity...

His mullai...

Along with his two bundles of happiness...

Chorus : Paaaaa...

Just like every other time, they ran to their dad even before all others stepped out of the car dismissing their mom's "watch out"...
As they hanged on to kathir's shoulders, mullai's smile was dumped with satisfaction of seeing her kids with her husband as always...
Though his lips were kissing the kids, she could feel kathir's gaze was smooching her...
Scrutinizing her...
Sheerly her...

Just like past...
Same way like past...

---------------------------------------------

Mullai sat chumbling her favorite chocolate bar looking at the hues of colors in front of her that splashed happy excitement in her favorite hazelnut eyes...
Her eyes drank his every single expression, every small gesture and every word that came all the way...
It felt good to sit still and enthrall him just using her dreamy eyes by dashing her looks to his everytime he saw her...

Also her orbs didnt miss to capture the reaction of the girls who were assisting him and a bunch of young girls from a big family who were sitting next to them...
She could guarantee his chiselled physique, perfectly fitting outfits, unruly beard, unkempt hair and bossy talks were attracting everyone like hell to him...
Added to it, the love for his wife that screamed high in his talks, actions, looks and touches would have been a reason for the adoration...

She could see the girls trying to gain his attention with loud giggles, shouts and lot more inspite of seeing mullai there...
But then they miserably failed which gave a immense pride and little pity for those girls...

Knowing what his wife was doing, kathir tried his best not to get distracted to her antics but as always he couldnt...
He sat in the chair near her with a little exhausted look and took a bite of chocolate from her hands...

K : ei thakkali... inga oruthan yetha select panrathu nu thalai ah pichukitu iruken... nee yenadana jolly ah chocolate sapitutu sight adichutu ukanthutu iruke...

M : nan matuma unna sight adikaren... suthi paaru... yethana per unna sight adikaranga nu... sema entertainment enaku..

M : poda athelam anubhavichu paatha than theriyum... nee vena enna sight adikaravangala...

K : unna yevanavathu chumma paathale avan mudinjaan... antha vishayathula enaku rasanai elam varathu... rowdythanam than varum... paravalaiya...

K : chhh pode... nan first first vaangi kudukarathu... it should be a best one... so keep quiet...

M : hmmm carry on...

Time passed pleasantly for mullai as he would come up with a saree asking about it, even before she could respond, he would shook his head turning down the idea with a dismissive reaction...
All mullai could do was just grin at him fondly admiring her husband and also enjoying the sight of gals who were gaping at him throwing a jealousy look at her...
Finally after a another hour time, he found the treasure he wanted...

K : ei thakkali see this... yepadi iruku...

Mullai's eyes widened seeing the saree in his hands and had a instant crush and love over it...
It took her heart away with its beautiful cerise pink color with a bright rosy pink undertones...
The pallu gave a fine classy touch to the saree with pure silver zari in bright neon green color which had its shades in blouse portion too...
Added to it, Leaves and flower motifs were woven all over the saree with minute and intricate designs...
Definitely it was a exquisite pick done by her husband...

M : i just love it kathir... romba super ah iruku...

K : really... super... try it... we will see...

M : hmmm...

As the sales girl helped mullai to try it on her, she stood before the full length mirror looking at herself contented with her own beauty that multiplied with the spread of the saree...
When she moved her eyes to meet his gaze through the mirror, she decided this is going to be the one she would purchase...
Not because of the beauty of the saree...
But for the reaction of the person who selected it...

Mullai drowned herself in his eyes that shone with pride of selecting a ravishing saree and satisfaction of getting what he wanted...
She could bet he was imagining her and admiring every inch of her in that saree...
Just with his looks, her face painted pink just like the saree...
He came near her with a wider grin giving her a tight hug over shoulders...

K : pidichuruku than eh...

M : romba romba... unaku...

K : pidichurukaava... nee vera yen de... vera level la iruku... you look stunning... apadiye cotton candy than...

M(grinning) : oh cotton candy...

K (tightening the embrace) : aama cotton candy than...

----------------------------------------------

kathiru.. mullai vanthachu...

His eyes sprang to collide with hers in a snap...
And yes...
There she was...
Getting down from the car in the dress he wished to see binding entire beauty from the world into a single entity...

His mullai...

As she walked through him with a mesmerizing smile, he couldnt shift his eyes anywhere other than her...
He always knew mullai was pretty... pleasing... personable... and lot more...
But he never fell in love with her for her bewitching beauty...
May be it was deep within and he didnt knew it...
All that he felt was mind over matter...
He never considered things physically...

But post sandangu, his mind slipped with the stunning sylph...
He started admiring her as a woman...
He started to savour her tenderness...
He started to adore her femininity...
He started to take pride in her beauty...
The cousin to lover transition happened so beautifully in him...
Adding to her beautiful soul, he started falling for her beauty too...

Wasn't she aware of it...
Yes, She was...
She squirmed everytime when his eyes caressed her on a whole unusually...
She yearned for more and fell more for it...
She knew it was not a normal look...
It was something more...
That look always took a special place in her heart and blossomed the women in her pushing the little girl aside...

K : ei thakkali sorry sorry... cotton candy... intha dress potutu vara maten nu sona...

M : ammavum lucky maavum compel pani poda sonaanga.. athan potutu vanthen... unakaga onum illaa...

K : sure ah...

M : hmmm pakka...

K : oh ho... apadiya vishayam...

M : aama unakaga potutu vanthen nu kanavu kaanathe...

K : oh...

Maaa.... athaa....

M : dei... avangala yen kupidare... chumma iru da...

K : nee chumma iru de...

As mullai tugged his arms, he clutched it tight and called them again who came to check on them...

P : yena achu da... yethuku kathare...

K : thakkali ku puthu dress eduthu kudukalaiya... palasa potutu vanthu nikkara...

M mindvoice : pochu... maatinom...

L : yenga... asaiya puthusa oru paavadai thavani vaangi vechom... atha podama ithu than poduven nu adam pidichu potutu vantha...

P : paaru de ivan eh gavanichu kekaaran... appo sadanguku vanthavangalum paathurupaanga... potathe podaraanga nu nenaipaanga la... ithuku than solratha kekanum ngrathu...

K : sari sari kelambunga... ungaluku kudutha dialogues ivalo than... extra pesaathenga...

P : sariyana thimir pidichavan da... vaanga athachi...

As they left the place, kathir crossed his hands across the chest and looked at mullai with a naughty grin making her smile sheepishly...

K : yethuku de intha velai...

M : chumma nakkala sirikaathe... yetho unaku onum illaa... nan than yelathuku reason madhiri pesina illaa... athuku than...

K : athu unmai than eh... chinna paiyan manasa kedutha bad girl nee than eh...

M : poda bad girl kuda elam yethuku pesare... nalla good girl ah paathu pesu po... nan eh vena thedi tharen... nalla ponna... ok ah...

Ar : mama... ullaa polaaama... intha periaamma vera pidichukitaanga

The timing was so perfect which made mullai laugh out loud seeing kathir's sulky reaction...

M ( suppressing laugh) : hey laddu boy... nan namma edathuku poren... neenga good girl kita pesitu vaanga... sariya...

Ar : mama... polaama nu ketten...

M : two minutes arthi... tho vanthuduvaan...

(Sweetly) yena kathir...

K(glaring at M) : ....

M (pinching his cheeks)  : sari sari... ipadi kovathula moraicha cotton candy pathikum da... pothum moraichathu...  en mirchi ah vitutu elam nan poga matten...

K : sure ah...

M : pakka... vaa polam...

Her fingers entwined with his and pulled him inside the temple making him grip his hold more...

K (smiling) : hmmm... thats my cotton candy...

His eyes dismissed all other emotions and all other people around and glued on his cotton candy with a charming smile...
---------------------------------------------

And now...

Those eyes did show all those things that he had all time and added to it was the huge respect and love for her...

M : acho... pothum pothum... kaiya edu... yellarum pakaaranga...

K : paakatum... en pondatti nan yena vena panuven... yaaru enna kekka mudiyum...

M : poda... unna thirutha mudiyathu... so shopping over la... kelambalam vaa...

K : hmmmm...

They turned to the counter with a satisfied grin and asked the salesperson to bill it...
Finally they came out finishing the shopping with delight of getting what they wanted and climbed into the car in the basement parking...

M : kathir... saree romba costly da... athum bayangara grand ah vera iruku...

(Seeing him frown) ei laddu boy solratha muzhusa kelu... udane mirchi aagathe...

Swarna ku kuda ivalo grand ah eduthaangala nu theriyala... oru vela nan itha pottu yellarum enna kalyana ponnu nu nenachuta... enaku vera thaali, metti yethume podara palakkam illaa... appuram en mirchi nilamai... paavam la... (wink)

Without any reply, kathir looked at her with a tongue in cheek reaction and a naughty smile...

M : yepavum vaanathukum boomikum kuthipa... yena da ippo sirikare... en mirchi than ah ithu...

K : ei... kalyanam kunnakudi la de thakkali... ne kudumba kuthuvizhaku vesham potu than aaganum... antha thaali, metti elam kalyanathuku maatikitu ninnu than aaganum...

M (pout) : acho... itha maranthuten paaru...

Seeing her pout, he pulled her closer and mumbled in her ears...

K : ei loose thakkali... athellam podalanalum you are completely mine nu paathathume theriyume...

M : yepadi... yepadi... nee pinaadiye follow panuve ngranalaiya...

K : nan follow panrathu vera vishayam... un thoppai than unna mudhala follow pannum...  sorry sorry lead panum...  hmmm ippo six months over... ipove bump nalla theriya arambichuduchu...

(caressing her baby bump)
avanga kalyanathapo nearly 8 months agidum... so inum nalla theriyum la... appo theriyum thakkali kula irukarathu rendu kutti mirchi nu...

M (face palm) : cha aama la... ithu thonaalaiye enaku...

K : athan sonnen loose thakkali nu...

M : hmmkmm loose ah iruntha naala than unna poi kattikitten... illaana...

K(scowling) : hmmm illaana... sollu yen niruthita...

M : illaana un valai la vizhunthuruka matten nu sola vanthen...

K : oh ho...

He moved her aside softly and started the car with a angry face making her giggle...

M : acho... moonjiya apadi vechukathe da... chumma than eh sonnen... en laddu boy illaa...

K : pode...

M (clutching his arm) : loose uh nu sona illaa... athan tit for tat ku sonen da... mathapadi ne valaiya podarathuku munnadiye nan vizhunthutane...

There came a grin in kathir's face like a lightning and disappeared immediately...

K : athelam othuka mudiyaathu... olunga sorry kelu... illaana ipadi than irupen...

M : sorry than eh... ketuta pochu...

Mullai looked around to check if they are good to go and as always her lips meet his passionately as if she forgot where they were....
Soon her lips trailed over every inch of his face and settled back to his mouth again delivering the sweetness as much as she can...
They parted away with the sound of horn of a car that seem to come for parking...

M : kovam pocha...

K : ithuku mela yena kovam... aana parking nale boss ku thanni kushi vanthudume...

M : ungaluku lift la vara madhiri...

K : aama ipove lift la poganum pola iruke... polama veetuku...

M : dei konnuduven unna... olunga hotel ku vandiya vidu... engaluku pasikithu... ullaa un pasanga kickboxing panikitu irukaanga... avalo pasi...

K : apadiya... nan eh confirm panikaren...

He leaned to her and placed his ears on her bump as if he is checking on them...

K : Hello kutti mirchis... pasikitha ungaluku...

There was serious of hard knocks as if they were waiting for his father to speak with them making the duo fly in the air...

M : hmmm answer vanthachu... athum romba kovama varuthu... late panite nu kovam pola...

K : adada... kovama appo sorry kekanumee...

M : kandipa kekaanum...

K : Sorry... SMOOCH...
Sorry... SMOOCH...
Sorry... SMOOCH...
Sorry... SMOOCH...

Ipo kovam pocha...

With another few feather touch kicks as acknowledgement, he came to his wife again with a wide grin...

M : solitaangala boss...  ipo polama...

K : polame...

The care for their soul inside, respect for her motherhood, and pride of fatherhood shoot up seeing the baby bump...
Kathir kissed her bump twice only after kissing her cheeks and started off the car with mullai happilly clinging to him...

---------------------------------------------

Chorus : maaa.... inga vaaa maa...

They had to break the eyelock as they were disturbed by their darlings...
After a moment of pure love exchange, she reached for them along with others...

She had to accept she was surprised seeing her cousin with husband-cum-cousin standing together that too with a hearty chat and grin...
That really did feel like a good positive vibe for the chaos that happened in the noon...
Remembering tat, she gave a quick glance with a fake angry look at kathir and turned to dheena who received the entire family fondly...

T : yena dheena... amma, padhu, paapa elam varalaiya inum...

Dh : aama paati... aaru maniku than eh poojai... athuku sari ah vanthduvanga... naanum appavum munnadi vanthutom...

Chintoo : konjam than paaa...

Chinchoo : aama pa... neraya illaa... chithapa chumma soluthu...

K : theriyume... aana inime kammiya adam pidikaathenga... neraya adam pidinga sariya...

Chorus : ok paaa...

T  : pera kuzhanthainga eduthaachu aalam... kashta kaalam... vaanga de ulla povom... inum ninnutu iruntha ivan vambu valathitu than irupaan...

As they agreed and proceeded to move in, mullai who tried to join them were stopped by kathir's strong hands...

K : nee yenga pora.. namma namma edathuku povom...

M : chhh... anga poi yena panrathu...

K : enna ketta... un pasanga than ketanga...

Dei ungaluku aniki aadina madhiri oonjal aadanum than eh...

Chorus : yethu paa....

K mindvoice : ada paavigala.. maranthitanungala...

M : avangaluke niyabagam illaa... vidu... kuttima vaanga ullaa polam...

By then, the kids got reminded of their play there and yummy gooseberries...

Chinchoo : paa... aama paa... oonjal polam...

Chintoo : paa... nellikaai venum...

K : thats my boys...

Chinchoo : maa unaku venaam... sari ah... cold varum... cough varum...

K : aama aama... appuram fever varum...

M mindvoice : chinna kutti... moonum yena settai panuthu paaru... yellam thimiru... paathukalam...

Dh : mullaiya otarengala yena...

M : ithula yena mama doubt... athe than...

K : cha cha akkarai la solrom...

Dh : oh ho... nalla iruku...

Seeing dheena trying to suppress his laugh and looking at her fondly, she smiled at him and turned to the trio..

M : aaru maniki poojai iruku... niyabagam iruka...

K : athellam time ku vanthudalam... nee vaa mudhala...

Dheena... neee...

Dh : illaa neenga ponga... na padhu vanthathum varen... malar kotatha paatha azhuva... padhuvala samalika mudiyaathu...

K : sari da...

Soon then, the family along with kanna moved to their favorite spot and the kids started swinging just like the previous time along with their chithapa...

M : dei kanna... nan konjam nadanthutu varen... pasangala paathukonga...

Seeing her walk away throwing a angry look at kathir, Kanna understood what would come next...

Ka : yena ne neeyum pore athan eh... kelambu kelambu...

K : nalavan da nee... athe than...

Ka : yenna ne... vayasaanathum un performance kammi agiduchu polaiye...

Ka : athu sari... Carry on... vetri udan thirumba vaa anna...

Kathir approached mullai fast with his steady gait and blocked her way...

K : ei cotton candy... yena kandukaama pore...

M : aama... athu onnu than korachal...

K : ivalo azhaga vanthu munnadi ninnutu kandukalaina korachal than eh...

K(laughing) : nalla velai... matha saree elam fit agala... ithu mattum than fit achu nu solama vitiye...

M : thimir uh... thimir uh...

She tried to get past him just to be locked in his arms...

M : ei kathir... vidu... ithu kovil...

K : kovil la thappa than de thoda kudathu... love oda thodalam... athum illama ithu kovil oda thottam... kovil illaa... so thappu illaa...

M : dialogue pesathe....kadupa iruku....

His smile widened to a grin and he pecked her forehead fondly...

K : oru varthai kovathula solita pothum athaiye pidichutu manushana pazhi vaanga vendiyathu... yeppo than intha palakkam pogumo....

M : unaku yeppo intha compare panra palakam pogumo appo...

She pushed his arms aside and turned to walk away from him just to be trapped again in his hold...
And this time the hold was so fierce unable for her to move...

K : chhh... nan solrathu onnu... ne pesarathu onnu... sari vidu... veetula poi pesikalam... inga venaam...

M : onum thevai illaa po... athu pidikala... ithu pidikala nu ayiram sola vendiyaathu... yeppa paarum thita vendiyathu... kovapattu katha vendiyathu... thaniya pana kuda paravala... athum yellar munnadiyum... konjam kuda en mela love illaa...

K : hmmm... sollu... mindvoice la en pughaalnthutu iruka than eh...

M : hmmm nenapu than... thititu irunthen...

K : apadiya... nijama un mirchi mela avalo kovama...

He looked straight into her eyes with both hands on her shoulders as if he was reading her heart in the process...
He didnt know how long the moment passed...
Before he could ask next, she responded with a wild hug followed by a series of soft kisses making him grin...

K : ei kovil de ithu...

M : kovil la thappa than thoda kudathu... love oda thodalam... athum illama ithu kovil oda thottam... kovil illaa... so thappu illaa... kiss panalam...
