True romance is exactly opposite to what people think.
It's not in buying expensive items.
It's all about the little things that the partner does every day to show how much they care for you.
It will be always out of their way to make you happy.
The way they hold your hand when you are scared.
And you save the last slice of pizza for them.
That one random text saying 'I love you' and 'I miss you' just because they really mean it.
The romance is not in the words.
It lies safely in the arms of gestures.

*******

Kathir reaches salem..

The moment he steps down at salem, he calls Pandian and informs..

Pandian conveys Ramesh and he sends a man to receive him..

Kathir goes to his home..

Ramesh welcomes him..

His wife and daughter are there..

They welcome Kathir with a warm gesture..

R-Appa sonnaru pa ellam..

Naan pesina varaikum yaaro venumnu panraanga..

K-Yaaro laam illa sir..

Ellam therinjavanga dhan..

Aana, onnum panna mudiyala sir..

Adhan prachanai..

R-Hmm..sonnaru pa appa..

K-Hmm..

Adhan sir..

Adhukku dhan yosikrom..

Enna panradhu nu theriyama..

R-Janarthanan dhana pa ipa thalaivar?

K-Thozhil sangathuku dhane sir?

R-Aama pa..

K-Aama sir..avaru dhan ipo..

Andha selvakka ubayogapaduthi dhan avaru sarakka niruthi vechirukaaru..

R-Avaruku yen indha vela..

K-Theriyala sir..

Thorathi thorathi nammakkittaye varaaru..

R-Sonnaru pa Appa..

K-Hmmm adhan sir..

R-Ipa enna thambi panradhu..

K-Adhunala dhan sir unga per la sarakku vaanga sonnadhu..

Adutha thadava vera yaarachum pidikanum..

Adhukkulla ellam sari pannidalam..

Paapom..

R-Sari pa..

Saaptu paduthu thoongunga..

Naalaiku kaalaila paapom..

K-Sari sir..

He goes , eats and tries to sleep..

The uncertainty of the future haunts him..

Yet, he sleeps compulsively..

The next day, things went in a quite easy way..

Since Ramesh doesn't drag Kathir in the main picture, things go in a normal way without any unnecessary tantrums..

The day is so hectic until 4 and he really doesn't care about anything in this world..

He gets his breathe back only when he is being offered with the key of the van with the stock..

He calls Moorthy and Pandian to inform them..

They are super relieved..

By then,Mullai pings him..

Kathir, enna panra?

He smiles automatically on seeing her message...

He calls her immediately..

M-Kathir.. Enna panra..

Pona vela nallapadiya mudinjudha..

K-Hmmm..Aachu di..Ipo dhan kelambren..

Annanukum Appa kum pesitu vechen.. nee msg panna..

College mudinjurucha unakku..

M-Hmm..Ipo dhan..

K-Veetuku poitiya..

M-Illa Kathir.. Ingaye dhan iruken..

K-Yen di kelambalaya..

M-Hm..poganum..

K-Ennachu di.. Dull adikira..

M-Hmm..Onnum illa kathir..

Nee saaptiya?

Gosh..He completely forgot that he has stomach..

K-Adhu..

He scratches his beard..

M- Sapdalaya?

K-Inga indha prachanai la onnum odala di..

Ipa nee kettadhum dhan nyabagam varudhu..

M-Nenachen..

Modhalla poi sapdu..

Vandi key vandhachu la kai ku..

K-Hmm aama di..

Konjam light ah chinna chinna item kaaga dhan wait panren..

Adhoda illa..

Ipa naan anga pona vazhila edhavadhu prachana varum nu bayapadraaru..

M-Yaaru..

K-Sir dhan..

M-Adhunala..

K-Night..

M-Apa unna naalaiku paaka mudiyadha?

K-Naan mudinja vara ipa kelamba try panren di..

M-Hm..

K-Enna Hmm hmm ndra?

M-Onnum illa Kathir..

Nee 1st saapdu..

Nithya vandhutaa..

Naan veetuku kelambren..

K-Sari di..

Mullai cuts the call with a deep breathe..

To which he can..

Err..

He alone can decipher the meaning..

He smiles and goes to eat 1st..

Ramesh's wife Thilaga was asking him to eat since morning and he politely refused..

She doesnt compel him as he knows his mindset..

She has been seeing Ramesh all these years and she understands how the mindset will be when the whole business is uncertain..

When Kathir reaches her out for food, she happily serves..

After the small pending works are over, Kathir starts by 10 PM..

It's a 8 hour journey..

The driver seems to be a young chap..

As he sees Kathir, who is constantly tapping his mobile and clicks the button every now and then, smiles..

Enna thambi..Kalyanam aacha?

K-Haan..Illa na..

Dr-Apram enna..loves ah..

Phone ey paathutu irukeenga..

K-Haan..Adhu..

He smiles instead of answering..

Love?

Is this love?

As sunlight enters raindrops and emerges as rainbows, the love enters his soul..

Or it stayed within which he tries to name?

Whatever..

Dr-Enna thambi..

K-Haan..onnum illa ne..

Epa ooruku povom..

The driver gives him a perplexed look..

8 manneram aagum thambi..

Ipa dhan erirukkom..

Epdiyum kaalaila 6 mani aagum..

Yen..

Vazhila edhachum vela irukaa..

Illa anga poi vela irukaa..

K-Illa illa..Adhellam illa..

Ketten..

By then Dhanam calls him giving him a load of advices as usual..

Kathir keeps calm and nods..

Once he disconnects the call, the driver plays the music player..

The songs are playing and for the first time in his entire life, Kathir thinks of Mullai for each and every line..

About them..

The songs automatically go through his favourite list..

Time passes away slowly, and the driver stops the van at a motel..

Thambi..

Edhachum sapdalam vareengala..

Before Kathir could reply, his mobile rings..

Neenga ponga ne..

Dho varen..

Driver goes with a smile..

Kathir picks the call..

Ammu, thoongalaya nee..

M-Thookame varala kathir enakku..

K-Yen di..ennachu..

Saayangalam pesrapavum nee sariyave pesala..

Ennachu di..

Odambu sari illaya..

M-Illa..adhellam illa..

K-College la edhuvum prachanai ya..

M-Illa Kathir..

K-Ennachu di apram..

K- Hello..

M-Unna paakanum pola iruku kathir..

She recites the lexemes of amour..

K-Nalaiku vandhuruven di..

M-Nee velaiya dhan poiruka nu theriyum..

Idha avoid pannave mudiyadhu nu theriyum..

Aanalum, unna paakanum polave iruku..

K-Adhan solren la..

He scratches his eyebrow..

Adjusts his dhoti..

Enakke apdi dhan iruku..

Paatu laam kettu oru maadhiriya irundhuchu..

M- Paatta? Enna paatu..

K-Adhu apdiye neraya..

M-Good night Kathir..

The call gets disconnected..

The autaxaria drifts into their pneumata..
