On their way, Radhi is debating within herself whether he heard anything or not. Madhan could see her doubtful face and her uneasiness. But didn't utter a word to her. They reached home. Radhi is unable to bear his silence. They didn't talk often. But he never ignored her. This is new to her. She started to think about it.  

Once they reached home, they started to get ready to temple. Madhan thought she will get ready in her home, But she ran to Madhan's home and got ready in his room. 

Vinoth- "en ma vanthathum ava mama veetuku odi poita?"

Rohini- "anga thane da ava things ellame iruku.. Madhan palaka thosathula inga vanthutaan."

Vinoth- "ava anga thaan irukala?"

Rohini- "un thangatchi ku kalyanam agiduchu da, gnabagam vachuko.. athellam moonu naala ava anga thaan iruka.. neenga kilambina adutha naala full ah shift paniyachu.. ", she mocked and said.

Vinoth and Madhan looked at each other. They all went to temple once she is ready. Couples started to do the rituals. Rohini, Ragu and Sathya are very happy and making arrangements joyfully. 

Radhi mind voice- "ivlo happy ah ivanga irukuratha paatha, namma love ah ivangalta first ae solirukalamo... time waste panitomo..."

She then turned and saw Madhan staring at the holy fire. She looked down. 

Radhi mind voice- "aathi, enna ipadi pakuraru... ivar pudichu thaan kalyanam panikitara? epadi therinchukurathu?"

After a while, he again tied the nuptial chain to Radhi. She is feeling out of world. This is the temple where she used to come and pray for her love. Now he tied her the nuptial chain in the same temple. He placed Sindoor in her hair partition. They looked at each other. 

Radhi is confused about Madhan's behavior. He is not angry, his eyes express a calmness. But he is not behaving in a normal way too. Still there is no conversation between Madhan and Radhi. It bothered Radhi much.  

Priest told to walk around the temple once. Madhan and Radhi stood up. he held her hand and started to walk around the temple. 

Radhi mind voice (Song: Kaadhal kanavaa film: Kochadaiiyaan)

Kaadhal kanavaa undhan Karam vida maaten
Sathiyam sathiyam Idhu sathiyamae

Thaai vazhi vandha Engal dharmathin melae
Sathiyam sathiyam Idhu sathiyamae

Oru kuzhanthai polae Oru vairam polae
Thuimaiyaana en sathiyam Punithamaanathu

Madhan could feel her gaze in him. He turned around and raised his eyebrows asking what. She just nodded nothing. But her eyes are shining, her lips curved, chins had a slight blush. Everything says that she has an imagination of this moment. Her face glow says that it is a dream come true moment. Madhan could feel her overwhelming happiness and her love towards him.

Madhan mind voice ( Song: Enakkena yerkanavae pirandhaval Film: Parthen Rasithen)

Enakkena yerkanavae pirandhaval ivalo
Idhayathai kayiru katti izhuthaval ivalo
Oli sindhum iru kangal uyir vaangum siru idhazhgal
Ennullae ennullae yaedhedho seigiradhaeee

She looked down unable to handle his intense eyes. She felt an thunder inside her. His eyes reflects something, but she unable to understand. His look made her mind to shut down. She could feel like all her body cells are awaken. A sudden chillness spread over the body, but her breathe is hot. Her eyes are moving here and there to figure out the changes. The intense pressure is too much to bear, but still her heart longs for it. She looked at him through corner of her eyes.

Madhan mind voice- 

Maarbukku thiraiyittu maraikkum pennae
Manasaiyum maraikkaadhae
En vayadhaiyum vadhaikkaadhae
Pul veli kooda pani thuli ennum vaarthai pesumadi
En punnagai rani oru mozhi sonnaal kaadhalum vaazhumadi

Madhan- "Radhi ma"

She looked at him. They looked at each other. He smiled a little which made her lips to curve a little like him automatically. 

Vinoth- "dei evlo neram da..... Namma kovil la irukom.."

Their trace is broken by his voice. Madhan and Radhi turned away and started to walk around. Elders chuckled at them and gave a mocking look. Nothing happened, but the time delay made it all. They finished their rituals and returned home. 

They all had their lunch and went to take rest. Radhi and Rohini slept in Rohini's room. Radhi went to Rohini room, since her mind is full of thoughts which is filled with ideas of how to convince Madhan. She believed that Madhan is angry because of the "all-out" matter. Still she hasn't decided any idea to implement.

In the evening,  Ragu and Sathya went to upstairs. Their heard the voice of Vinoth and Madhan. Ragu and Sathya looked at each other and tried to get down, but the question Vinoth asked made them to stand there and listen to them. In Upstairs, 

Vinoth - "dei, Nanum pathute iruken.. Neum avalum sari illa. vanthathula irunthu ipo varaikum neenga peskave illa... enna achu? ava kooda sandaiah?"

Madhan- "pesina thane sandai poda.. "

Vinoth- "nee poi pesa vendiathu thane da.. avala epo pesiruka namma thane epavume start pananum?"

Madhan- "pothum, ipadi avaluku chellam koduthu koduthu thaan, sethalum paravala pesa maten nu mudive eduthuta.. "

Vinoth was shocked by his answer. Even Ragu and Sathya widened their eyes in shock.

Vinoth- "enna da olarura? enna nadanthathu.."

Madhan- "naan kalyanathuku samathama nu Radhi ta keka vanthen la appo.. ", he explained everything that she attempt to drink all-out, her letter, her intention. 

Vinoth clutched his chest and asked, "namma papava?". Ragu and Sathya are shocked by this new information.

Madhan- "athu matum illa, ena 5 varushathukum mela love panitu irukalam... ava friend kita pesinatha keaten kalaila poirunthappo. ". Ragu and Sathya widened their eyes. 

Vinoth -"5 varushamava?", he stated open mouthed in shock.

Madhan- "mmm.. aana en kita ava ethuvume solala.... ellathaium share panrava itha solala..", he remained silent. There is a complete silence for seconds. 

Vinoth- "ava matuma solala? neum thaan solala"

Madhan- "dei.."

Vinoth- "kaththi malupatha,... enga nee radhi ah love panala nu sathyam pannu papom". Madhan looked down and closed his eyes. Ragu and Sathya looked at each other.

Vinoth- "kadhal nu vanthuta ipadi thaan irupeenga pola.. ".

Madhan- "dei, naan marachathuku oru karanam iruku.. "

Vinoth- "enna namma friendship ah, illa appa, mama voda friendship ah?"

Madhan- "rendume illa Radhi thaan "

Vinoth - "puriala.. "

Madhan left out a breathe and said, " antha suba miss visayam thaan karanam.. nalla yosi Machan, suba miss ah konnathu avangaloda lover... Avanga love panatha yen kiss panikitatha kooda radhi pathiruka... Nama koodaium share paniruka, pathen nu... antha incident ku apuram ava ragu mama taye distance maintain panna da .... "

Vinoth looked at him keenly and nodded.

Madhan - "athanala kadhal mela oru verupu vanthirukum nu ninachen.. Naan kadhalikuren nu sonna enaium paathu bayapuduva nu ninaichen.. enaku pidikatha ethayavathu ava panita naan konuduven nu bayanthuruvalonu ninachaen"

Vinoth- "athanala thaan vilaginiya?"

Madhan- "naan vilagala, athu ennala mudiathu.. Vilaga ninaichuruntha avala namma college laye sera vachiruka maaten. namma padicha athe course la sethu vitruka maten. ellathukum mela avaluku, ' en valkai la vera ponnu illa, vera ponna ninaika kooda maten' nu sathyam paniruka maten.. "

Vinoth- "antha sathyathula thaan ava mela irukura un pasam mariduchu nu enakum purinchathu.. But Chennai ponathum, veetu pakame adhigam vara maten nu irunthiae da. apo athuku enna artham.. ithuvaraikum oru call illa oru message kooda nee panalaye avaluku.. Nanum panala thaan othukaren.. Aaana naan amma ta pesum pothu avaltaium pesitu thaan vaipen. Nee athu kooda pesinathu illaye.."

Madhan- "Machan radhi than chinna ponnu, naan illa. atha purinchuko.."

Vinoth- "itharku ithu pathil illaye..", he mocked..

Madhan- "dei, verupaethatha.. Nee ava annan nu pakuren, purinchuko da pakki.. pudicha ponna pakathula vachutu enala .... namakulla kiss and hug ellam appo romba satharanam da. enala ava kita satharanama iruka mudiala..  Namma first time chennai ponapo, avaluku fever ae vanthiduchu... namma udane leave potu thirumbi vanthapo, ava ena vitu vilagave illa... enala, enala..  ", He closed his face with his fingers in embarrassment. 

Ragu and Sathya widened their eyes with raised eyebrows.

Vinoth- "dei ava chinna ponnu da.. ", he was shocked and raised his volume..

Madhan- "athaanala thaan Chennai laye irunthen, unkita phone pesum pothu kooda' epo varuveenganu' than ketaa, athanala naan phone la pesuratha vituten.. avala yetkathoda paaka mudiala da ... vela irukura mathiri kaamichukiten... en appakita kooda naan pesala da avalukaga.."

Ragu and Sathya keenly watched them. 

Vinoth with a smile started, " dei, nee una control pananum nu Chennai ponathu okay thaan. una ninachu enaku perumaiah thaan iruku...  aana nee ava bayathayo verupayo matha onume panalaye... nee Chennai laium ava ingaium iruntha love success agiduma? iapdi orutharuku oruthar pesamale iruntha radhi ku bayam poiduma? "

Madhan- "pch, ava padichu mudichathum namma company la join pana vaikanum nu plan la irunthen da.. namma kooda thanga vachukanum nu ninaichen.. Kadhala pathina avaloda bayatha maathi, avaluku nambikai koduthu en kadhala solanum nu irunthen... athukulla financial ah stable aganum nu thaan voluntary ah projects ah accept pani work panen.."

Ragu and Sathya had a proud smile.

Vinoth- " sari da,  ipavum onum kettu pogalaye... ipo kooda ava namma kooda vanthu thangatum.. apadiye.."

Madhan- "haan, apadiye kilichuralam paaru... naan vangura sambalathula kudumbam nadatha mudiuma?"

Vinoth- "oh, kalyanam nadanthathum ippo un kudumbam en kudumbam nu agiducha?"

Madhan- "asingama thita vaikatha daa.... sir ku apadiye latcha latchama sambathikuratha ninaipa... rendu peru sambalathaium saethu pathalum athe kathai thaan. Inga avala raani mathiri appa vum mama vum paathukaranga... Unalaium ennalaium athu mudiuma? "

Vinoth understood and become silent. Ragu and Sathya widened their eyes.

Madhan- "enna amaithi agita.. ava namma kooda iruntha evlo adjust pananum nu unaku puriutha.. ithu poga avaloda college fees iruku... transfer pana try pana athuku thaniah selavu agum.. namma kita iruka?"

Vinoth left out a long breathe, "ippo enna panratha iruka?"

Madhan- "puriala daa... ena panrathu plan panave mudiala... ava mattum munadiye soliruntha.. Naan kalyana pechu edukum pothe thaduthirupen en kadhala solli.... two years thalli irunthe love panirupen... adutha two years ku avalaium nama kooda kootitu poi, vela paka vachu, intha ulagam avalo mosam illa nu avaluku kaamichurupen.. avala bold ah, chutti ah maathi athuku apuram romba santhosama, grand ah kalyanam panirupen daa.... ", he said with a dreamy eyes..

Vinoth hugged him understanding his pain.

Madhan- "Ipadi ellarum kastapattu, corner pani ... etho oru nirbanthathula marriage nadanthirukaathu Machan ...  all-out kudikura alavuku ponavaluku, enna nambi ore oru thadava manasula ullatha solanum nu thonala daa... atha ninaikum pothu romba valikuthu daa...", his voice and his tone mirror-ed his pain.

Vinoth side hugged him, "sari vidra... etho vivaram puriama panita... avalukum ethavathu karanam irukum.. ". Madhan looked at him with confusion. 

Vinoth- "irukum da.. Namma rendu peroda friendship, appakum mamakum irukura friendship thaan enaku therinju reason ah iruka mudium.. avalala namakulla entha oru sandaio pirivo vanthida koodathunu ninaichurukalam..  nee enna nianipionu kooda bayanthirukalam.."

Madhan- "epadi avlo uruthiah solra?"

Vinoth- "Kalyanam un kooda nu sonathum Radhi aale marita... thalaia thalaia aatitu irukuvara vaya thoranthu pesina.. engaluku aruthale sonale maranthutiah...

"

Madhan looked down silently. Ragu and Sathya smiled.

Vinoth- "inga paaru, santhosama vala vendia nerathula.. EGO ku idam kodukatha.", he warned.

Madhan - " dei, puriama pesatha da.. nane en plan ah follow panuvenanu doubt ah iruku enaku ippo... ellathaium vida financial status vera bayamuruthuthu... "

Vinoth- "un plan correct thaan da.. two years ku love panunga.. apuram vena 1 year ku ava velaiku pogatum... apuram life ah start panunga, un dream ava dream ellathaium achieve panidalam daa... "

Madhan- "intha plan ellam un thangatchiah ava irukum pothu thaan work out agum... ipo ava en pondatiya iruka.. "

Vinoth- "athunala enna da? epadi irunthalum namma papa thane.. "

Madhan- "lusu payale unna.... Dei en shirt ah nalla paaru da eye liner mark iruku.. "

Vinoth - "dei, sanda pota mathiriye thirinchiye daa.... ", he asked him surprisingly.

Ragu and Sathya chuckled and nodded as no.

Madhan- "cheee, imsai pudichavane.... athu apadi illa... ava en shirt ah thaan podura pola night la ... ava cubboard la enaku pudicha color la matum thaan dress iruku... intha 5 varusathula ava vera color la dress ae edukala pola da.. ava phone ah pathen, athula naan mathina athana number um save agi irunthathu... en photos ah password potu save pani vachiruka ella photo vum enake theriama eduthathu..... ellathukum mela oru visayam iruku..

Vinoth- "ennada?"

Madhan- " google la, ava last ah search panathu all-out pathi thaan.. athula uyir pogathunu matum podala.. athigama kudicha, internal organs damage aga chance irukunu potrunthathu.. main ah kulanthai poraka vaipu illama pogalam nu potrunthathu.. "

Vinoth- "enna da solra?", he searched in his mobile and shocked. Ragu and Sathya looked at each other. 

Madhan- "Radhi ellam therinchu thaan intha mudiva eduthuruka daa.. prachanaiae athu thaan.. ava mudhalla namma kita palaya mathiri share pananum da.. athuku apuram thaan entha plan um panna mudium. illaina risk thaan."

Vinoth- "hmm puriuthu... nama onu senju atha ava thappa purinchukitu avalave ethavathu mudivu eduthutha kastam agidum.. "

Madhan- " hmm,  naan 'ingaye irukalam yaraium piriya vendamnu thaan enna kalyaname panikita' nu sonen.. athuku ipo varaikum ava ethuvum solala..  oru varthai illainu kooda solala da.."

Vinoth and Madhan stood silent.. 

Madhan- "ava namma kita manasu vitu pesanum naa, namma kooda irukanum.. Aana kootitum poga mudiathu. thalaya pichukalam pola iruku... inthula intha salary tension vera iruku da.. ippo puriutha yen ipadi irukennu"

Vinoth - "dei, ippo ava namma kooda thane iruka pesa vendiathu thane.. "

Madhan- " kilicha.... thali katinalum katinen enkitaye yaaro mathiri nadanthukara... ava room kum guest mathiri thaan vara, en room kum guest mathiri thaan vara... bomma mathiri solratha seiyura da.... ipo kooda paaru athai yoda room la thoongitu iruka daa... Room ku vanthalum, bayathoda kolapathoda enna paakura... nenjukulla mullu kuthina mathiri iruku da apadiye... naan asapatta valkaiah ithunu thonuthu... ", he said with tears..

Vinoth- "dei mapla, feel panatha.. "

Madhan- "Machan, ava poranthathu la irunthu namma thaane da valathom.... vayasuku vanthatha kooda nama kita thane da muthalla sonna.... oru 3 varusam thane ivanga kita valantha... ippo namma valatha ponna ithunu ninaikura alavuku irukaa daa ava.. ", he said with tears.. 

Ragu and Sathya gave it a thought. He is right.

Vinoth- "sari ponathu ellam vidu.. Ippo inga irukomla, inaiku night poi pesu... amam, first night la enna da panna.. "

Madhan- "dei..", he shouted in shock.

Vinoth- "pch, onum nadakala nu ooruke therium... but pesavuma illa?"

Madhan- "vantha, ninna, utkara sonen utkantha... padikuriah nu keaten... paduthu thoongita.. "

Vinoth laughed badly.. 

Madhan- "sirikatha pakki..  epo pathalum, appa , mama, athai nu yaar kitayachum poi olinchukura daa... iva enkita aadura kanamoochi aatam ellam unga yaar kanukum theriathe? enna matum kelvi kelu..."

Vinoth- "Enaku oru idea thonuthu da... Namma kooda bangalore ku kootitu polama?... Next week meeting ku.. Namma matum thaane porom.. enna solra?"

Madhan- "aana, ellarkitaium enna nu solli kootitu porathu?"

Vinoth- "athellam yosichukalam, unaku okay vaa... Meetings ah naan pathukaren. Nee papa voda time spend pannu.. kandipa changes varum". Madhan nodded with a smile. 

Vinoth- "epadi da ivlo asaiah kanava vachukitu ava kalyanathuku ella velaium senja.. "

Madhan with a bitter smile said, "ennada pana solra.. yarukume radhi ku maplaiah enna thonalaye.. En appa kooda antha mapla thaan right choice nu sonna piragu naan enna da solla mudium. athulaium avanala thaan Radhi ah sariah handle pana mudium nu sona piragu.... ", he gulped his tears. 

Vinoth side-hugged him and patted him.

Madhan- "Ellathukum mela, Radhi manasula enna irukunu theriala... athan ellathaium enakullaye pothachuten.. avan thapanavanu therinja piragu thane da enna pathina gnabagame vanthiruku ellarukum...", he said with tears. His voice exactly mirrored his pain.

Ragu and Sathya's smile dropped on hearing Vinoth's statement. Sathya clutched his heart unable to bear his statement. Ragu hugged him and they went down. 

Vinoth hugged him tightly, "sorry da machan.. Nanavathu papa kita pesirukanum... sorry da. ", they cried hugging each other. 

Vinoth- "alatha da mapla.. ini ellam sari panidalam.. Bangalore porom, papa va namma ponna mathurom..."

Madhan- "inime naan ava kita olunga pesaren... ava pesala nu nanum pesama irunthiruka koodathu thaan.."

Vinoth- "nee kidaika naanga koduthu vachirukanum da.. "

Madhan- "lusu payale. ". They smiled contently.

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

At night, they all had dinner silently. Rohini noticed this. When she was about to ask, Ragu eyed her to keep quiet. 

Radhi is unable to bear this distance maintenance. From morning she is thinking about that. She decided that she should either speak to Madhan or give a hug or kiss to him like before. She badly want her Maddy back. In these days, he didn't used the word 'ma', which saddened her a lot. When he said the word 'ma', in the temple, she is almost lost in him. She want those moments back. 

All she needs is a lovable life with him. She didn't want that to be postponed because of the silence or the distance maintained.

Radhi went to Madhan's room and locked the door. Madhan is scrolling something in his mobile. When he noticed her arrival, he sat up. 

Madhan widened his hands and said, "Radhi ma.. "

Radhi without any second thought she hugged him tightly and shed silent tears. After a while, Madhan cupped her face, gave her a forehead kiss and then kissed both her cheeks. 

She giggled, cupped his face, kissed his forehead and then gave kiss on both his cheeks. Madhan was shocked and widened his eyes.

After a long time, they smiled widely. Without speaking anything, they hugged each other contently.
