Sivaangi got out of bed around 4 in the morning. She got up early even though she is quite fatigued. Ashwin is asleep, she saw as she turned to face him.

Sivaangi- "ella neramum epadi ipadi alaga iruka?", She gave him a cheek kiss. Ashwin, however, shows no signs of having moved.  (How do you always look so handsome?)

Sivaangi- "Enna yen unaku ivlo pudichathu vaathi?"  (Why You love me so much Prof?), she kissed his forehead

Sivaangi- "Enaku Chanakiyan ah vida, AK va vida, Deva ah vida intha vaathi Ashwin ah thaan romba pudikum. yen nu theriuma?"

(More than Chanakiyan, Ak and Dev, I like Ashwin soo much. Do you know why?)

She kissed his ears. 

Sivaangi- "Chanakiyan enaku pidichavar avlo thaan, AK enoda nalla friend, thanimai la irunthu enna kapathinavar. en annangal illama, oru annana illama en mela anbu vachavar. avlo than appo thonuchu. Dev kooda enaku oru best friend mathiri thaan, mariyoda palagina friend. adaikadi avarkita oru appavoda pasam therium. "

(I simply enjoy Chinakiyan as a person. AK is an excellent friend. He is my lifesaver because he kept me from feeling alone. He liked me, more than my brothers. Dev is not just my best buddy but also a kind and considerate person. In him, I noticed my father's affection.)

She kissed his forehead and looked at him.

Sivaangi- "aana intha vaathi thaan ena oru ponna unara vachathu. nee vaathi ya irunthapo thaan un sparisam enaku kidaichathu.  Un kanna paatha enaku ulagame maranthidum, nee thota enaku enayave maranthidum. Nee eppo yen manasukulla vanthanu enaku sariya theriala vaathi.

Nee sonnanu naan thirumbavum varaiah arambachappova? Unakaga naan en mounatha udachane appova? Nee en veetuku pakathula kudi varanum nu vendikitenae appova? enaku sariah theriala"

(But you, a professor, made me feel feminine. Even when you're a professor, I can feel your touch. When you touch me, I completely forget about the rest of the world and even about myself. When exactly you entered my heart is a mystery to me.

Is that the time when I began painting like you suggested? Is that the moment I began to break my silence? Is that when I began to pray that you would move close to my house? I'm not certain.)

She again kissed his cheeks.

Sivaangi- "Antha pasanga love propose pannum pothu enaku un mugam thaan gnabagam vanthathu. Nan aluga athu thaan karanam. Appo nee enna vitu piriyura mathiri thonuchu mayangiten. apuram avanga maranam enaku bayama irunthathu. enala yarukum ethuvum aga koodathu veetukulaye oru roomkulaye irunthen, aana nee en room ku shift anapo matum una thaduka thonala, oruvela appo than nee en manasukula vanthiah?"

(Your face immediately sprang to mind when those boys asked me to love them. My tears are a result of this. I thought you had abandoned me. After they passed away, I became afraid. In order to prevent anyone from suffering as a result of me, I locked myself in a room. Nonetheless, I didn't stop you when you entered my room. So, is it when you first gained access to my heart?)

She chucked.

Sivaangi- "Romba suyanalama iruken la. Enaku theriala yen ipadi nu. nee enkita irukanum nu asaiah irunthathu athe neram unaku ethavathu agidumo nu bayamavum irunthathu. pothuvave entha paiyana pathalum bayama irukum enaku aana, nee en room ke shift anapo nimathiah irunthathu.."

 (I know, I'm such a jerk. I'm not sure why I am acting this way. Although I wanted you to be close by, I also felt afraid. Normally I'm afraid of boys, but when you moved into my room I felt better.)

She gave him a firm hug, but Ashwin showed no signs of moving. After a bit, she began once more.

Sivaangi- "enala un kanna paathu ethaium solla mudiayala vaathi athan ippo solren aana ethuvume unaku kekathu illa"

(I am telling you now because I can't say these things while staring into your eyes. You cannot hear me, though.)

She raised her head and looked at him,

Sivaangi- " munnadi ellam adikadi thonum vaathi, en udamba enga ellam thotanungalo hostel la irukum pothunu, oru mathiri alugaiya varum. tv la oru paiyan oru ponna thotale ithe mathiri enaium thotrupangalo nu thonum, naraga vethanai vaathi athu, apadiye udambula neruppa patha vachukalama nu irukum, en udambaye appo ellam veruthen, aana Jeevana sumanthathala konjam antha veruppu koranchathu."

(As I watched a hero touch a heroine on television, I often had the strangest feelings and wondered whether I had been touched in a similar way while I was a hostel resident. In reality, I am in hell for thinking that. My entire body feels like it is burning. During those times, I detest my physique. I was only comforted by the fact that I gave birth to Jeevan.)

His chest was moistened by her hot tears.

Sivaangi- "unnala ellam maaruchu, ne thodum pothu enakulla oru mathiri poo poothuchu, en udamba nee thotta idam ellam enaku pudika arambichuthu. enamo en udambula ulla pavam ellam nee thodacha mathiri irunthathu vaathi", she said in a hoarse voice.

(You made a huge difference. When you touched me, I started to feel butterflies inside. After you touched me, I began to enjoy my body. Your touch, Prof., made me feel as though my sins were washed away.)

Sivaangi- "en paavatha matuma poga vacha, unala naan raju anna ku barama irukeno nra ninaipu poiduchu, unala naan rakshan anna valkaiya kedukureno nra ninaipu poiduchu, enakulla iruntha kutra unarvu poiduchu", 

(You didn't just cleans my sins. Because of you, I have shed the notion that I'm impeding Raju brother and ruining Rakshan brother's life, and I've also shed the notion that I'm guilty of doing both.)

She left out a long breathe.

Sivaangi- "Nan epavume romba perusa asai patathu illa vaathi, appa ammake pudikatha pullai naan, aananunga anbum padipum matum thaan naan asai patta visayam. Ananunga anbu kidaichathu padipu poiduchu. aana padikalainu enaku perusa varutham onnum illa, appo athuku neramum illa. ippo enaku oru asai vaathi, un nilal-ula valanum,una nesikanum, ithe mathiri un nenjula sanjute oru naal sethudanum."

(Typically, I don't have many lofty goals. When I was a child, my own parents detested me. My desire is to have only brothers who love and study. I was loved by my brothers, but I lost my education. I didn't care much about my education, though. Actually, I don't have the time. I have a wish right now, Prof. I want to live in your shadow, I want to love you, and I want to die in your arms one day.)

She gave his chest a lengthy kiss while cracking a small smile.

Sivaangi- "aiyaiyo pesite neratha paka vituten, neramaiduchae... Nan poi mudhala fresh agitu vanthu unna elupuren vaathi", (Oh God!!!, I forgot to check the time. Let me refresh first and then I will woke you up)

She carefully released himself from her and went to get refresh.

Her retiring form caught Ashwin's attention as he opened his tear-filled eyes.

After a few minutes, she woke up Ashwin. Ashwin pulled her towards him and hugged her.

Ashwin- "mch, vaa dii thoongalam" (Come lets sleep)

Sivaangi- "aiyo neramachunga, veetla ini theda arambichuduvanga" (We are getting late. They might search for us.)

Ashwin- "enamo yarukum theriatha mathiri thaan" (Seems like no one knows the matter.), He glanced at her intently after opening his eyes. She couldn't look into his eyes, so she looked down.

Ashwin- "ena di kalailaye ipadi jolikura?" (Why are you glowing today?)

Sivaangi- "summa irunga", She embraced him deeply.. (Keep quiet)

Ashwin- "vetkama dii kutty" (Are you blushing little?)

Sivaangi- "athu ena kutty? eppo pathalum naan onnum chinna ponnu illa" 

(Why do you keep referring to me as a little. I am not little.)

Ashwin- "nee enaku kutty than di, cute kutty." (You are a little cutie. My cutie.), he pinched her cheeks.

Sivaangi-"mm, enthiringa, polam neram aachu" (Get up, It is getting late. We must leave.)

Ashwin- "ore vaati make out panna sami kutham agidum, vaa thirumba panalam. Intha kolathula unna paathathum enaku enanamo thonuthu"

(If we only make out once before leaving, it is sinful. Should we have one more? After seeing you in this situation, I'm triggered.)

Sivaangi-"ethey!!! enthiri vaathi please, apuram late aana enaku avangala paaka oru mathiri irukum, please"

(What? Please Prof. If we leave later, I feel embarrassed when I see them. Please. )

Ashwin- "appo kiss kodu" (Then give me a kiss)

She smiled and kissed his cheeks. 

Sivaangi- "please"

After giving her a kiss, he went to get refresh himself. After that, they left the hotel and were at their house in 25 minutes. They entered their room unnoticed by anyone.

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

Everyone got out of bed in the morning and made their way to the hall. For everyone, Sivaangi provided coffee. Everyone who saw her was awestruck. She had bath earlier itself and her face is glowing brightly. Her smile is evident for the happening yesterday.  

They had the impression of seeing a newlywed bride. Somewhere along the street, music for the function began to play on the speaker. Everyone in the home can hear that, and the entire town can hear it. Normally, they used to play songs like this at every significant event. The song that played was,

Kummiyadi pennae kummiyadi
Koodi kolavaiyum pottu kummi adi
Kummiyadi pennae kummiyadi
Koodi kolavaiyum pottu kummi adi

Kumari ponnukku maalai vanthathu
Kolainju kolainju kummiyadi
Vayasu ponnukku vaazhvu vanthathu
Valanji valanji kummiyadi

Enga veetu thanga vilakku
Yengi nikkuthu kummiyadi
Ennai oothi thiriya thoonda
Aalu vanthathu kummiyadi

Everyone are happy to see her like this.

Jai ram- "Seetha, itha date pathu konjam assemble pannu ma" (Please please assemble it according to the date)

Seetha started, later Raju and Rakshan joined them.

Ashwin- "Sivaangi ma, en coffee enga?", he asked from the room. (Sivaangi ma, Where is my coffee)

Sivaangi - "table la irukunga" (It is in the table), she replied from the kitchen itself.

Jai ram- "1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9"

Seetha smiled.

Ashwin- "Sivaangi ma, towel ah kanum" (Sivaangi ma, Where is my towel?), he asked from the room

Sivaangi- "Bath room laye vachuten nga" (It is in the bathroom), she replied from the kitchen itself.

Seetha- "1,2,3,4,5,6"

Raju and Rakshan are blinking to understand.

Ashwin- "Sivaangi ma, blue shirt cupboard la illa" (Sivaangi ma, My blue shirt is not in the cupboard )", he asked from the room

Sivaangi- "Bed melaye vachiruken nga" (I placed it in the bed.), she replied from the kitchen itself

Jai ram- "1,2,3,4"

Raju and Rakshan widened their eyes.

Ashwin- "Sivaangi ma, marimuthu ku koduka vachiruntha file enga?", he asked from the room

(Sivaangi ma, Where is the file that I kept to give for Marimuthu?)

Sivaangi- "TV pakathula ulla table la irukunga", she replied from the kitchen itself

(It is in the table near TV.)

Seetha- "1,2"

Ashwin- "Sivaangi ma, en watch ah kanum" (Sivaangi ma, Where is my watch?) he asked from the room.

Sivaangi-"anga thaan iruku nga, ungala" (It is there only, YOU....),  she angrily went to the room. 

Suddenly they heard the sound of a door closing, which made Jai Ram and Seetha laugh. They were soon joined by Raju and Rakshan as well.

Raju -"epadi paa first ae guess paniteenga?" (How you guessed at first itself?)

Jai ram- "daei, naan unga appan da. Naan panna romance la oru 5% kooda neenga yarume panala"

(I am your father. You individuals do not even come close to the level of romance that I did.)

Seetha- "chee ponga" , she blushed.

Rakshan- "amma, aiyo cute ah vetkapadureenga" (Ah, mum, you're blushing so sweetly.)

Raju- "dei seekram photo eduda" (Dei, snap a picture of it quickly.)

Seetha- "ada ponga daa (Go daa)", she went to kitchen blushing, Making everyone laugh.

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

In the room,

Ashwin lifted her and closed the door.

Sivaangi- "achacho vidunga" (Leave me)

Ashwin- "enadi ange irunthe pathil solra, en madam room kulla varamateengalo?" , He back hugged her and whispered in her ears.

(Why didn't you enter the room when you were giving replies right there?)

 And the song played was,

Menikkul kaatru vandhu
Mellaththaan aada kanden
Mangaikul kaadhal vellam
Gangai pol oda kanden

Sivaangi- "athu vanthu" (Actually...), she trembled.

Inbathtin ellaiyoo
Illayae.... illayae...
Andhiyum vandhadhaal
Thollaiyae thollaiyae

Ashwin- "Koopta varamatiah" (If I call, won't you come in?), he bite her collar bone.

Sivaangi- "vaa nu eppo koopteenga?" (You didn't invite me inside..)

Ashwin- "oh, unaku vaa nu koopta thaan puriuma?" (So you won't comprehend until I say the word "come"?) ,His fingers played with her.

Sivaangi- "ellarum velila irukaanga please..." (Everyone are present outside, please), she huskily said.

Ashwin gave her a passionate chin kiss and left.

Ashwin- "sari thirumbu" (Okay, turn)

Sivaangi-"ethuku?" (Why)

Ashwin- "thirumbu di kutty" (Just turn little)

She was made to stand in front of the mirror after he pinned jasmine flowers. Via the mirror, they are observing one another.

Mannavan perai cholli
Malligai soodi konden
Manmadhan paadal ondru
Nenjukkul paadi konden

Ashwin- "pudichuruka di?" (Did you liked it?), she blushed and looked down.

Sollathaan enniyum
Illayae bhaasaigal
Ennavo aasaigal
Ennathin osaigal

Ashwin - "pesu di" (say), He forced her to face him, then cupped her face. Slowly, she turned her gaze to his.

And abruptly the song got changed too,

Kodi Malaigalile Kodukkum Malai Entha Malai?

Kongu Mani Naatinile Kulirntha Malai Entha Malai?

Thedi Vanthor Illamellaam Sezhikkum Malai Entha Malai?

Dhevaadhi Devarellaam Thedi Varum Marudha Malai

They got struck with that noise and averted their gaze.

Ashwin- "ivangala (These people...)", he almost shouted.

Maruthamalai Maamaniye Murugaiya

Maruthamalai Maamaniye Murugaiya

Devarin Kulam Kakkum Velaiyaa 

Aiyaa

Sivaangi laughed at him  and ran from the room to kitchen. 

Everyone in the hall saw the jasmine flower and her glow but pretended not to notice and went about their tasks. Malini spoke to Sivaangi about the hickey in her neck after seeing it with Seetha. Sivaangi later became aware of the hickey and changed her attire to cover it. The loudspeaker's song changed once again.

Malini- " vara vara avan romba overa poraan dii" (He is crossing the limits)

Sivaangi- "anni", she whined.

Seetha came from the kitchen and mingled with them on the discussion. 

Raju -"appa oru visayam pesanum", he hesitantly started. (Dad, We need to talk about a matter)

Jai ram- "sollu pa, enkita enna thayakkam?" (What pa, don't be hesitant with me)

Rakshan- "illa pa paapaa kalyana visayam" (No daddy, regarding the marriage of Sivaangi.)

Jai ram looked at Seetha and then replied, "Vishnu vanthiratum paa, pesalam" (Lets discuss once Vishnu arrived.)

Seetha- "Chinnu visayathulaium, kutty visayathulam Vishnu mudivu thaan pa" (Vishnu will take decision for Kutty and Chinnu)

Raju- "nijamava?" (Truly?)

Jai ram- "amam pa, naan suggestion matum thaan soluven, mathapadi avan thaan ivanga rendu per visayathulaium decide pannuvan"

(Yes dear, I will say only suggestions, Vishnu will decide on those boys matters)

Seetha- "avanga profession kooda Vishnu thaan guide pannan" (Even for their profession, he only guided)

Rakshan- "profession ah?"

Jai ram- "nan military man paa, enala romba family ah pathuka mudiala. Seetha thaan pathukitathu. Panam neriah irunthalum, ellarum epavum senthe iruka mudiatha soolnilai thaan. But senthu irukura mudiura oru chance kooda miss pana maten"

(Because I am in the military, I frequently can't be with my family. Seetha used to be responsible. Despite our wealth, we are unable to spend more time. Yet I never passed up the opportunity to spend time with my family.)

Seetha- "Nanum appo lawyer ah romba busy ah irunthen, pala pengalukaga makalukaga porada vendiathu irunthathu. Appo ellam Vishnu thaan kutty aiyum Chinnu vaium pathukitathu."

(I was then a lawyer. I once stood up for women and the poor people. Just Kutty and Chinnu were cared for at that time by Vishnu.)

Aazhi Soozhndha Ulagile, Yavum Alagache,
Vayadhai Meeriya Vazhvile, Siru Kavidhai Uruvache,

Rakshan- "appo ve vaa?" (That time itself)

Seetha- "amam pa, Appo Chinnu engala appa amma nu thaan koopduvaan", she dreamily said. 

(Yeah those days Chinnu used to call us as father and mother)

Jai ram- "antha naatkala engala marakave mudiathu" (We can't forget those days)

Seetha- " oru prachanaila engala appa amma nu koopduratha vitutaan. athuku apuram Dev anna ta kenji, kasta patu avangala othuka vachu nanga sponcer panom Chinnuku, antha santhosathaiyavathu anubavika."

(He stopped referring to us as mother and father after an issue. Then we tried much to console Dev and sponsored Chinnu.)

Viralinai Thandidum, Nagamena Ivan Pasame,
Kireedama barama, Puriyuma Sila Nerame,

Jai ram- "Seetha voda ella case um, mostly avanungalukum therium. Chinna vayasula irunthe naadu naadu naanga irukurathe paathe valanthavanga. Athunala thaan Vishnu IAS aanan, Suriya Police aanan."

(When they were young, they had seen Seetha handle cases. They were raised by witnessing our contributions to the nation. Vishnu became an IAS for this reason, and Suriya became a police officer.)

Seetha- "Ella neramum Vishnu thaan pathukitaan. Sapadu ooti vidurathu, padipu solli kodukurathu nu Suriya, Ashwin rendu perukume Vishnu thaan ellame panan. Suriya romba jolly type. avlo anba pesuvaan,aana romba kovamum varum. Ashwin romba silent and soft pa, avan en matha rendu pullainga pola anba pesamataan but avan seyal la therium avanoda pasam."

(Suriya and Vishnu were always cared after by Vishnu. He once fed and tutored them. Suriya has a great sense of humor and has excellent speech. But Ashwin is so subdued and quiet. While he is not accustomed to being called lovable, his actions do)

Ivan Annan Padhi, 
Thandhai Meedhi, Aananae Aanane,
Annan Endra, Nilaiyai Kadanthu,
Ponanae Ponane,

Raju- "oh, appo Vishnu anna kita thaan ellame kekanuma?" (So we must ask Vishnu Anna for everything?)

Seetha- "amam paa, Nanga suggestion matum than solrathu, matha padi final decision avan thaan"

(Yes dear, We merely offer options; Vishnu will make the final decision.)

Rakshan- "acharyama iruku ma, ungala meeriya Vishnu ethuvum solida poraru"

(I am surprised. Will Vishnu deny your decision mom?)

Jai ram- " avanuku engala vida Chinnu and kutty thaan mukiam. vanthathum neyae paaru pa"

(Chinnu and Kutty are important to him than us. you will witness that soon)

Urangum Bodhum,
Ivanin Gavanam Urangi Pogadhu,
Kanavil Kooda Kaval Seiyum,
Kadamai Maravadhu,

Raju- "neenga thappa eduthukalaina onnu kekalama?" (If you don't mind can I ask you one thing?)

Jai ram- "kelu pa" (ask)

Raju- "neenga ivlo pasam vachirukeenga, apuram epadi mapla thaniah veedu eduka viteenga? avan thaniah evlo kasta pataan aana neenga... athu vanthu neengalum anumathicheengalae?"

(How did you let Mapla suffer by choosing a different home if you loved him more than that? I'm assuming you gave him permission.)

Jai ram- "naanga anba irukom thaan athukaga enga virupatha thinika mudiathe pa, avan valkai avan kathal."

(Even though we care for him, we cannot force our opinions on him. His love and his life.)

Seetha -"avan kadhalukaga avan thane poradanum"

(He has to struggle for his love right?)

Ulagamae Ival ena Ivan, Vazhum Azhagai Parada,
Magal Yena Valarkkiran, Ivan Uyaram Kuraindha Thaiyada,

Jai ram- "Chinnu voda valkaila Vishnu decide panuvaan sonathu, vishnu asaipata mathiri Chinnu valuvan nra arthathula illa. There is a difference."

(Although Vishnu will make decisions on Chinnu' s behalf, this does not imply that Chinnu lived according to Vishnu's choices. There is a difference.)

Ivanin Anbai Alanthida,
Endha Mozhiyum Pothathu,

Both Raju and Rakshan understood the inner meaning and nodded.

Seetha- "avlo yen, Ippo varaikum Chinnu va naangalo, illa Dev anna vo adopt panala, Chinnu ku athula virupam illainu Vishnu romba strong ah engala thaduthutaan. "

(We haven't adopted Chinnu yet since Vishnu was so adamantly against it, saying that Chinnu didn't like the choice.)

Jai ram- "Vishnu anaiku sonathu ipovum gnabagam iruku, adopt pana thaan neenga appa ammava avanuku irupeengala? nu ketaan. apuram vitutom"

(Will you adore him just if you adopt him? Vishnu questioned me. I then departed..)

Ivan Annan Padhi, 
Thandhai Meedhi, Aananae Aanane,
Thambhi Endra, Nilaiyai Kadanthu,
Ponanae Ponane,

Rakshan- "yarume maplaya convince panalaya?"

(No one tried to convince Ashwin?)

Seetha- "vishnu athuku vidala, Enga Chinnu avana compel panrom nu ninachiduvano nu Vishnu thaduthutaan. Avanave eppo appa amma nu koopdarano appo itha pathi pesikalam nu solitaan"

(Chinnu might believe that we are forcing him, thus Vishnu forbade us from doing it. So we are anticipating Chinnu's call to us as Father and Mother.)

Aazhi Soozhndha Ulagile, Yavum Alagache,
Vayadhai Meeriya Vazhvile, Siru Kavidhai Uruvache,

Jai ram- "ippo varaikum kathirukurom", he wiped his tears (Waiting till now)

Seetha- "inum kathirupom, enaikavathu engala appa amma nu koopduvaan", she said with tears.

(We will wait forever. Someday he will surely call us.)

Viralinai Thandidum, Nagamena Ivan Pasame,
Kireedama barama, Puriyuma Sila Nerame,

Rakshan- "sorry pa,"

Jai ram- "athellam onnum illa pa" (Not like that)

Ashwin- "Sivaangi ma, konjam inga vaa" (Sivaangi ma, come here.), he shouted from the room. Sivaangi went to the room with a smile.

Jai ram and Seetha adjusted themselves and smiled. Rakshan and Raju recognised their connection. Sivaangi and Malini set up the breakfast at the dining table in a matter of minutes.

Ashwin came out while talking in phone. 

Seetha- "Chinnu sapdalaya?" (Chinnu, didn't had breakfast?)

Ashwin- "illa mam, Marimuthu va pakanum. pathutu vanthu sapdaren" (No mam. Need to meet Marimuthu. Will have after that.)

Jai ram- "Kutty eppo varan?" (When will kutty come?)

Ashwin- "On the way sir,"

Seetha- "ithe pathila avan 7 manike solitaan" (The same thing was told by him at 7am itself.)

Ashwin- "illa Mam, nijamave vanthutaan. avana pathutu thaan naan kilambuven"

(No mam, Honestly he came. Will start only after seeing him)

Jai ram- "Muthu va inga vara sollu chinnu, enakum konjam pesanum."

(Let muthu come here, I need to discuss with him)

Ashwin- "okay sir", he took the phone and went. 

Raju and Rakshan understood the whole thing. 

Suriya- "machaan", he shouted from outside the house in excitement.

Ashwin- "dai", he rushed outside to see Suriya.

When everyone emerged, they witnessed Ashwin and Suriya cuddling. For a minute, they stood there hugging. Everybody experienced their emotions.

Suriya was moved to the opposite side by Ashwin after he detected something, and everyone else heard the sound of a gunshot. Ashwin fell down.
