M : Yengge... Valikutha?

K : ah?..illeh...appadi onnum illeh...

M : illeh modeh... Athu... Kathuniyeh..

K : hmm valileh kathuleh... Athu.. Thidirnu innomo kutuchi.. Athan..

M : oh...

M Mindvoice : uhhum.. Valikithunu sonna thaan ennavam?

K Mindvoice : ellathiyum anggeneh irende visaripiya? Kithe vanthu ketha ennavam?

Without saying anything more he moved forward and heard a tear. Great!

K Mindvoice : Pochu!

M : athu.. Anggeneh aani iruku... athu.. Satteh... Maathirkum..

K : hmm.. Kethuchi kethuchi.... Kilinje sattum kethuchi...

M : vere Satteh..?

K : aah iruku iruku... Athu kovileh poi maatikelam.. Ellam bag thaan car'leh vatchachey.. Satteh ellam bag'leh iruku.. Hmph!

He turned to examined the nail, and that's when he saw a piece of torn cloth..not his..

A piece of fabric that's familiar....similar to..

Click!

Everything clicked!

He turned to look at her in a flash!

There she stood, backed to the wall, eyes casted down. He kept looking at her, taking in her body language and he felt miserable for shouting at her. Of course she behaves as such to him right now!

K Mindvoice : Muttal... Muttal! Avasere pattu theve illame thithitumeh! Cheh! Aluvurah leh... Hmm..

K : ey... Athu... Naa... Hmm..

Finally, she looked up at him with a pair of worried eyes and she realised that he knew the reason for her avoidance when he averted his gaze elsewhere once their eyes met. None of them spoke anything for a moment, the silence spoke everything needed.

K : hmmm... Ingge vere onnum?

He asked her still looking out the window, the evening sky was beautiful.

M : illeh.. Oru raathiriku thaaneh... Athan.. Vere kondu varle... Naanum thedi paaten..

K : hmm... Appeh..  Naa venumna veetuku...

M : neram ayidungge! Purinji thaan peseringela?! Ippo veetuku poyi... Vanthu... Aprem thirumbi kovilku poghe... Hmm!.. Veetuku poraghelam....

K : ey! Naa edachum unneke help panelam nenekiren! Ennaku ithu theve thaan! Yen vareh podhu innum rende moonu kondu varanumnu tonada? Ippeh yen uyire edu!

That was the last strand that broke her, she cried audibly and ranted at him.

M : aamange! Thonechi thaan.. Innum rendu eduthu vaikanumnu thonechi thaan..Aprem veetle ellam velayum paathuthu.... Appadiyeh maranthuthen.. neenge vere sikiram sikiramnu thithi kithe irundingge nethu! 
Ungge kithe thithu vaangithu.. Anthe padardathele naa enna eduthen edukulehnu marenthuten! Ippahyum naa onnum ungge help onnum kekeleh... Kannan kithe Akka illathi Meena irenda kupede sonne!.. Aana avungge kelambitanggeh!

That stopped his thoughts because everything she said was the truth. She was a great help to Dhanam at home preparing for this visit since his Mother still haven't accepted Meena in the family. Mullai was the household name after Dhanam, she didn't even get proper sleep between looking after his Mother and helping Dhanam.

K : seri.. Ippeh Anni....Meena irenda enna ketherpe?

M : hmm! Ooku kutte help ketherpen! Avlo thaan! Ippeh poi vere enna Kekeh mudiyum...avangelum avasara avasarama thaaneh vanderpaaghe... Hmm Meena...avughe kitte irendalum kudeke yosipangge... Athe naaleh avungge kitteyum Inthe oru Ooku kutte thaan kupthen! Poduma?!

K : ooku ireka?

She nodded, avoiding his eyes.

K : athu... Hmm... Ooku kutita seriya agiruma?

M : ippathiki..

Taking in a deep breath he walked to the dressing table, took the safety pin and stood infront of her.

K : thirumbe..(whispered)
