P : Mapilla....

All three froze....

Multiple emotions were straped in that single call...

Even during the start of the conversation, everyone remembered parvathy addressing kathir as thambi....

Now it wholeheartedly changed to mapilla...

Can anyone give acceptance in a beautiful way????

Kathir, the man of few words understood her in that single word....

P : mapilla... ennoda asai elam iva nalla irukanum.. vara poravar ivala nalla paathukanum nu matum than.. vera ethum illa...

Yepo enga mela iruka ithana varusha kovathaiyellam vittutu ivalukaga enga kita pesa vanthegalo appove ungala pathi purinjukiten.. manasara solren.. neenga sonna madhiri ivala ungala thavira yarum nalla paathuka mudiyathu...

athe madhiri ivalum unga kuda than nalla irupa... athu iva rendu naala thudichathulaiye theriyuthu....

Itha vida yena venum enaku???

enaku muzhu samatham intha kalyanathula...

Mu : aama mapilla....
neenga sona madhiri unga veetula irukavanga nambi tha na intha kalyanathuku mudhala samathichen athum mulla asaipadarale nu....
oru bayathoda than sari nu sonen...
Neenga inga varra varai antha bayam irunthuchu...
aana ipo illaa...
Ivalo uruthiya thairiyama pesarengale ava venum nu... athu pothum enaku...
neenga en pullaya nalla paathupenga nu nambikkai iruku enaku...

Parvathy sona madhiri avalum unga kuda iruntha than nalla irupa...
santhegame illaa....

Ithuku mela oru amma appa ku ena venum...

Murugan looked at parvathy asking this....

P( nodding acknowledgingly) : ethume venam mapilla....

Before kathir reply to them,

Mullai rushed to parvathi, kneeled down and started crying out loud placing her face on parvathi's lap....

P : ei mulla....yena di ithu....
Yethuku alare... yellam nalla padiya nadakum bothu...

Off course murugan couldnt see her crying....

He too moved to mullai and sat near parvathi carressing mullai's head..

Mu : ammadi yena ma ithu... ipadi alare.. ipo tha nanga muzhu manasoda santhoshama kalyanathuku othukitom....rendu naala avalo thariyama iruntha... ipo elam sari ah nadakum bothu udanju poi aalalama...

M : rendu naala unga rendu peraiyum romba kashtapaduthiten illa pa.... mannichudu ma.... mannichidunga pa...

P : cha yena de....ipadi elam pesare... ne asai patatha enga kita keta.. avalo than eh.... ithuku poi manipu athu ithu nu...

Parvathy's eyes teared up when saying this...

Mu : athane.. ne enga kita kekama yar kita kekka mudiyum.... yena mapilla vishayam theriyathanala nanga konjam bayanthutom un mudivu sari ah thappa nu..avalo than ma...

Ithuku poi periya manushi madhiri pesitu...

(Wiping his tears too)

M : illa pa... neenga sonatha kekama adam pidichapo ungaluku epadi irunthurukum....ethirthu ethirthu vera pesitu irunthen.... enaku appove purinjuthu ungala romba kashtapadutharen nu.. aana vera vali theriyala appo.. na konjam elaginalum intha kalyanam venam nu soliduvengalo nu bayama irunthuchu...
Athan apadi paniten...

Aana ipo than pa nimathiya iruku... rendu naal ah manasukula avalo vali...
amma mulusa othukama ipadi kalyanam pesarame nu.... yena than veliya pesinalum sirichalum nengalum sari ah illa nu oru varutham... avalo kashtama irunthuchu ...ipo elam sari anathum avalo santhoshama iruku....alugai than varuthu nimathila....

Mu : nalla pulla ma ne... ithuku poi yaravathu aaluvangala....
Santhoshama siripiya ipadi alare...

P : athane chumma neeyum aaluthu engalaiyum aala vekkathe....

M : patta kashtam apadi ma... sariya sapida mudiyala thonga mudiyala ethume mudiyala... manasukula nama nama nu oru uruthal irunthute irunthuchu... athan ipadi alugai varuthu....

Mullai is still crying while kathir just sitting and watching their lovely bond and emotional outburst.....

Kathir understood how much she would have felt bad for her mom's reluctant acceptance and her dad's fearful confirmation for their marriage...

Not even once she showed it to him....
Showed it to others...
Pretended to be tough...
She stood strong in her decision how ever vulnerable she was within herself..
This is a unique character that kathir possess....

Being sturdy inspite of being weak....

He was happy to see the same in her....
Who said only opposite poles attract......????
Not always....

A part of him was proud of her where as a part of him cried silently for the pain she went through....

Kathir felt so much relieved that he did a good move speaking to her parents...
If not now, she would have been carrying this pain all the life....
He sighed as if he turned mountains for her...

P : athana kashtapattum un mudiva engalukaga maathikalaiye de.... nanga rendu perum than yellam nu soluve.. aana engalaiyum meri kalyanam panikara alavuku avalo pidichuruka mapilla ah????

Parvathi didn't say it as a complaint...
She just wanted to know the depth of her daughter's love...
She just like that asked a question....

Never knew its a eye opener for kathir and mullai...

Mullai's tears stopped....

She turned to see kathir who was looking at her with the same question in his eyes....

M mindvoice : amma ketathu sari than eh... avalo kashtama irunthalum yen intha kalyanam venam nu sola thonala....yen avan than kadhalikaran nu sola thonala... yaru avana ena nenacha unaku ena... amma appa vida ivan mukkiyama...

K mindvoice : ava amma appa vida nan mukkiyam nu thoniruka ivaluku... manasukula athana kashtatha vechutu suthitu irunthuruka enakaga.. analum na venam nu solalaiye... venum grathula avalo pidivaathama irunthuruka...

P : yena de????

M : apadi than pola ma... enake ipo than puriyuthu...

P : sari ah pochu po.... puriyaama than rendu naala avalo adam pidichiya....

Murugan and parvathy smiled with satisfaction...

Mu : mapilla... ungaluku ipo santhosham than eh....

K : romba santhosham mama... enaku theriyum iva ipadi elam manasukula vechutu varuthapaduva nu... ipo than enakum nimathiya iruku neenga rendu perum mullu manasoda sari nu sonathum, iva santhoshapadaratha paathathum...

Mu : romba santhosham mapilla...

In spite of all these, Kathir noticed she is still not back to normal...He couldnt see her like this....

K : Ei athan elam sari agiduchu illaa... konjam siriyen.. paaka mudiyala moonji ah....

M : paaka mudiyalaina po... unna yaru enna paaka sonna...
Nan sonana???

Mu : ammadi... yenathu mapila kita ipadi pesare...

K : (grinning) parvala mamaa.. athula ena iruku...

P : mariyathai eh theriyala de unaku...

M : po ma... ne vera...

Yen mama... na unaku ini mariyathai vera kudukanuma....

K : ne athelam onum thara venam... ipadi irukama nalla sirichite iru pothum....

M : apadi sollu... (smiles)

Murugan and parvathy shared a contended look....

K : Sari appo na kelambaren mama... romba neram achu....

Mu : yena mapila vanthutu onume sapidama kelambaarenga...

Kathir let out a smirk seeing mullai who was hiding her smile too...

K : paravala mama.. na itha pesa than vanthen... neram achu.. kadaila vela iruku....

P : konjam sapitutu ponga mapilla.. mathiyam sapidara neram achu illaa...

K : illaa atha.. paravala... inoru naal varen...

A silence....

Kathir's first atha made everyone freeze just like parvathy's mapilla....

Mullai broke the silence now...

She didnt want her complete family time to end soon...

M : pls mama sapitutu po...

He couldn't avoid her wish...

K : sari atha... aana konjam matum...veetula anni panirupanga vera...

Murugan and parvathi grinned at eachother how he accepted mullai's offer rejecting theirs......

Mu : naanga poi eduthu vekarom... neenga vaanga mapila...

Murugan and parvathi left to dining leaving kathir and mullai alone..

Kathir waited for them to leave and asked....

K : yena de santhoshama...

M : romba romba santhosham mama... avalo nimathiya iruku enaku ipo....

K : ithuku than solidalam nu sonen....ne kekala...

M : aama kekala.. athukaga yena solamaiya vitta...
Sola sola kekama ne nenachatha elam panitu than eh iruke...
Na ethum kekalaina unaku ena vanthuchu...

K : oh ho kovamakum...

M : vaa sapidalam...

K : solu de...kovama...

M : aama na ena panuve...

K : yetha pana kovam pogum na sollu panren... (with a naughty smile)

M : oh ho.... ena sonalum panuviya....

K : hmmm ( excitedly)

M : kaala vilu.....

K : adi paavi...

M : ena paathutu iruka...

K : ipo vilaratha??

M : aama....

K : vilayadatha...

M : yaru vilaiyadara.... sikiram vilu..... kovam poganum la...

P : mullaa...

K : happada... (sighs)

M : romba santhosha patukathe... unna en kaala vila vekarana ilaya nu paru...

K : adi podi ithuku oru savaal vera... vilu da na nan eh vila poren... yena thidirnu un amma appa vantha asingamaidume nu paakaren... mathapadi enaku onum prachanai ila... yethana thadavai vena vila na ready...

M (laughed out loud) : getha iruka oruthana kalyanam panika poren nu nenachen... ipo than theriyuthu ne evalo vethu nu....

K : podi...

Mu : ammadi...

M : va polam..... kupitute irukanga....

Both went to dining room grinning...

They made kathir sit for lunch...

K : elarume sapidalam ukarunga...

Mu : illa neenga sapidunga mapilla...

K : ada ukarunga mama..elarume sapidalam...

P : illaa mapilla na marunthu potu ara mani neram kalichu tha sapidanum... neenga sapidunga... yenga neenga vena ukarunga... thaniya sapida kashtama iruku pola....

Murugan sits with kathir...

M and P serve dishes to K and Mu...

Mu : inniki jhathagam paaka karaikudi varaikum poitom mapilla.. athan samaikala.. veliya vangitu vanthutom... thapa eduthukatheya...

K : athunala ena mama paravala...

P : mulla romba nalla samaipa mapila.. ava night elam thongama aluthute iruntha.. athan thonga soliten...

K : aluthutu irunthiya.... (with concern)

M : athu yetho apo... vidu ne sapidu mudhala... apuram pesalam...

Kathir shook his head and started eating....

There was a knock at the front door....

Mu : ammadi yaru nu paru....

Mullai goes to the living room and comes back in a minute with a nervous face....

P : Yaaru de vanthuruka....

M : athu....

Mu : yaruu ma... en ipadi mulikare...

Kathir lifts his head to see what happened to her...

M : athu... athu.... dheena mama vanthurukagha pa....

Her eyes looking at kathir's eyes anxiously..

Dheena enters...

Dh : atha... mama.... inga irukeghala....

ei mulla... enakum pasikithu..
thatu eduthu vai.. sapidaren....

K to M : yena de ithu????????????
