Dear readers,

Thanks a lot for the response...

Hoping to get the same in future as well...

Well the next chapter as promised...

என்றும் ஓய்வதில்லை
இந்தக் காதல் மழை கடல் நீலம்
உள்ள அந்தக் காலம் வரை

Kat: nee kavala padadha...

I had already planned to have a chat with mullai....

Vetri: thanks machan....

Ipo dan enaku romba better aa feel agudu...

And smiled...

Their frappucino arrived....

Vetri: ellam seri aa agum nu oru trust vandiruku....

Thanks machan....

Kanna mv: irukaradhum pogama irunda seri...

Modhala eduku breakup pananum....

Aprom ipdi wedding ku yes sola veka kashtapadanum...

Sheer stupidity...

Aana sonna nama kenna...

Ellam neram da....

Nama coffee aa kudipom...

And he relished his beverage..

Vetri: machan....naan nalaiku kelambiduven....

Ellam fine nu nee soluva nu oru nambikai la poren ....

Kat: enna en da ipdi kanmoodi thanama nambura??

He was really starting to feel guilty of keeping vetri in the dark..

Vet: unna enaku theriyadha machan....nee nalavan da...

Kann: hmkmmmmmm

Vet: nee en da salichikura...

Kan: onnum illaye onnume illa...

Nenachen...

Sirichen....

Vetri gave a scrutinizing look...

Kann: ada onnum illa anna...en friend mullai enKu anni aa vandha epdi irukum nu karpana panen...

Olimayamana edirgalam therinjidu adhan....

Vera eduvhme illa...

Aduseri...

En anna...vandadu Dan vandinga...

Apdiye pongal mudichitu poradhu...

Mullai kita kathir anna pesaradhu vida nee pesina better aa irukum is my point...

He stated frankly...

He knew his bestie too well...

In fact aisha kita innum open aa pesuva...

Vet: nee solradhu lan seru dhan aana....hmmm hmmm adhelam seri varadhu...

Appa...amma...

Unga veedu...

Ennala en thangachi life la endha issue um vara koodadhu..

Kathiru...

Kat: solu da...

His voice broke thinking of the pain he gave her in the name of breakup...but none noticed...

Idhan dan en number....

Nanum mullai um contact la iruka matom nu appa amma ku promise panirunden...

So...

Ava koopda maata...

Naanum kooptu keka maten...

But nee solanum....

Am really hoping to see my sisters wedding atleast under the pretext of being ur bestie...

Kathir gave out a forced smile...

Kanna saw the situation going kind of out of control...

His brother was starting to become emotional...

Not at all a good sign...

Kanna: unga pasamalar mudinjidhu na...

Kelambalama....

Innum konja nerathula phone vandhrum...en innum varala nu...

Even before he could complete the sentence he got the call....

Kanna: sonen la....

On phone,

Kann: anni flight konjam late adhan...
.....
..

Dho start panrom ..

...

...
Innum 2 hours l reach ayiduvom...

Vetr: seri vaa da kelambalam...

And they all started...to their respective place....

By the time vetri reached, mullai had left she couldn't stay more in Kishore home..

Vetri and aisha bid bye the next day even without telling a good bye to mullai...

Conveying to kishore and requesting him to pass on the message,by just dropping a text to kathir number...

She knew their flight timings....

But,

Her alarm betrayed her...

She paced fast after her bath even before praying on pongal to meet her brother...

She was bounded by a promise.

She had been an egoistic stubborn girl right from childhood...

One reason why she kept her promise made to her parent.

She was stubborn to abide her self promise...

But, today she really wanted a moment with her bestie...

Even yesterday they couldn't find time to open jp her heart.

It was a wedding house filled with people in nook and corner of the house...

And with the age old proverb of "Even walls have ear"

She couldn't share her thoughts, knowing the connection the bride's family shared with Kathir..

Now knowing they had already left from Kishore, she felt numb and alone..

Cursing every thing under the universe, she walked back home...

Standing under the shower, she cried her hearts out...

That's when she heard her ringtone after ages..

She knew who was calling...

After all...

It was a ringtone set specifically for him..

"poonjolai Kiliyae
ponmaalai Nilavae
poomaalai Azhagae"

She dragged herself out of her washroom and picked the call...

Instead of hello...

The usual " baby" came...

And the dam broke open..

She cried her lungs out...

The other side his closed eyes with tears tripping down told how much her tears affected him..

When he felt her cries subduing...

He uttered softly...

" I love you di, marry me....

Please "

"Kathir???""

Disbelief was very much evident....

" why?? "

" why na enna artham babe....

I have loved you always...and you know it too well...

In the past, right now and am zen percent sure I will in the future as well...

I know I was stupid enough to break up with you...but I had my own reason...

Even back then, even after knowing it was stupidity.. I asked for it....

Yen eduku nu kooda nee yosichiya nu therla ....naan keten nee yes sonna....

Aana....naan illa na nee innum nala aa irupa nu nenachen...

The reason might sound stupid now but unfortunately that's the truth...

Nee enna nambuviya nu lan therla...

But,

I want you with me lifelong....as my lover, my better half, as my wife and my everything.

Please di

Vena nee kekalam ipo andha manangati reason lan illaya nu....

Aana when I met you after ages...you looked worst...

Un vela, kanavu ellam vitu inga ipdi....idhuva naan aasapaten...

Idhukaga va naan unna vitu velagi ninnen...

Illaye....nee sandoshama irukanum nu dhane...

Adhuku exact opposite dan ipo nee iruka....

Iduku mela unna ipdi thaniya kashta padutha enaku aasa illa...

Naan namala pathi veetla solikaren..Nama ellar aasirvadhithodavum kalyanam panikalam...

Lets start from where we put the pause...

Ofcourse, if only you want it...

Illa nee epo vandhalum ee nu ilichikitu ethuka naan onnum kallila nu sonna...

Am all ready to bear it babe..."

Hearing only silence....

"Babe...am waiting"

"Kathir...."

She teared up again...

"Enna en ipdi chithra vadha panra....

Please enna en pokula vitru...

Namaku indha pirivu dhan seri..."

"Seri mulla....if you say so..

I can't force you...I have already forced you enough I suppose...

Am sorry di...

But, please un manasuku pudichadhu panitu happy aa iru,...

Un mogathula andha sirippu n positivity enaikume irukanum nu aasa padren...

If not as ur lover, atleast as ur well wisher...

Take care"

And he cut the call...

Both cried their heart out for their own reasons...

Both of them loved each other too much...

Yet there stood a psudowall..

Built by them...

Unknown to all this, Kanna was busy making plans for Abhi's birthday...

In the hall,

Dhanam: dei en da pandiga aduvuma ipdi moonja thonga potu iruka...

Enna aachu...

Kat: onnum illa anni...

He masked his feelings...with a fake smile...

Abi: come on...ye jutti hassi se kaam nahi chalega jeejzz...

(This fake smile wont work on me)

Whats up?

Tell na...

Aisa kyun baite ho...Sab teek hai na? Aap ne dii se baath ki?

(why are u sitting like this? Is everything fine? Did u talk with di?)

She saw the effect the word "Di" had on him...

So, this was it...

This was the reason....

She was idle all these days thinking they broke up because something really happened...

But the past two days proved her they were the very same couple she had adored...

She really needed to do something...

But what and how prevailed...

Kat: anni....naan innaike ooruku kelambaren....

Dhan: en da...

Pongal na off dane...

Adhun naalaiku Sunday vera ...aprom enna?

Kat: illa anni...enaku innaiku pona...

Naalaiku rest eduthu...

Moor: adhane...

Ellam sendhe kelambalam...

Kat: illa anna....adu seri varadhu....

Lak: seri avan dan rest edukanum nu solrane...neenga ellarume inaiku kelambunga...

Enna ipo...

Nalaiku kelambaradu inaiku night kelambunga...

Bus iruka paarunga...

Avalo dhane...

She talked business....

Kat: illa ma....naan bus la varala...

En car inga dane oorla iruku...Hyderabad last time straight aa inga irundu dane ponen...

Adhan...

Naan car la vandidren...

Matha ellarum bus la pottum...

Abhi: how will you drive alone all 7 hours that too in night...

I and Kanna will join you jeejz....

Kat: uski zaroorat nahi hai abhi...(there is no need of it abhi)

Abhi: aise kaise zaroorat nahi....(how come its not needed)

Atleast we ll make sure you are up...

Agar aap gaadi kahin lekar takar maar denge tho hum kya karen bhai...

(What if you bang the car against something....What will we do)

Kat: abhiiii

Abhi: chuppppp (silence)

Its all decided....

I and kanna are joining you...

DOT...

She said with an attitude that brought a smile on his face...

Dhanam: naan, mama, jeeva kooda unga koodaye car la varoom da....

Engaluku matum eduku bus book panikitu...

Abhi: mast idea...

I will go and tell kanna...

And she ran to tell him of the plan....

Dhan: romba veguli aa iruka la da kathiru...

Aana nala pullaya dan theriyura....

Lakshmi amma nodded...

Dhan: un kita romba nalla pesura da...

Kathir nodded his head...

Else where, hearing the change in plan...

His mind worked in lightning speed...

Kanna/abhi: Mullai/ di ko bi bulathe hain...(Lets call Mullai as well)

And they hi-fied...

Abhi: both of them are thick headed...

Hamen kuch na kuch karna padega...

(we should do something)

Kanna: true....ipdiye pona seri varadhu...But ava varuvala therila...

Abhi: she ll come if we call...

Lets try na...

Kanna: hmmm...lemme try....

Abhi: shall I call her?

Kanna: nooooo...

I will....

Tum jaakar tayar ho javo...lets go to temple...

Abhi: okey....

I will be back in a jiffy...she pecked his cheek and ran away...

He smiled looking in the way she left...

Dialing Mullai's number, he sat finger crossed...

Mullai: sollu kanna...

Her voice said she had cried...he tried to manage..

Kanna: Pongal thirunaal vazhthukal...

Mullai: nandri.. da...

Kanna: actually...machi oru help...

Mullai: hmmm

Kanna: nalaiku abhi birthday la adhan...oru china plan.. iruku...

Nee um vandha ava happy aava...

Mullai: naana...noo...

Naan vangi irukura gift matum nee eh kuduthiru...

Kanna: aama ipo gift dan baaki...

Sonna kelu Mullai...

And he uttered his plan...

Mullai: naan epdi vara...

Kanna: hey u promised me ....ennoda vishayam nu vandha u will keep ur and kathir anna issue at bay and join nu...

Ipo ipdi pana enna artham...

Please pa...

Vera yaar iruka sollu....

Mullai: ok fine...

Kana: thankuu so much....

Abhi: kanna...am ready...

She hopped into the room...

He showed a thumbs up...and she did a mini victory dance...

He cut the phone...

Abhi: how did u make her accept it?

Kanna: some secrets are meant to be hidden...

And he returned the butterfly kiss she had gifted him with...and walked to hall...

Dhan: dei kanna...

Namba innaiku night eh kelambarom...

Kana: oh apdiya anni...seri seri...

Dhan: vaanga ipo kovil polam...

Kan: anna?

Dhan: kathir ku thala valiyam varala nu solitan...

Kanna let out a gush of air nodding his head in negative...

Kanna: thiruthave mudiyadhu....

At around 8pm,

All of them were seated in the car, Kathir, kanna, Jeeva, Moorthy, Dhanam and Abhi...

They bid bye to meena, kids and Lakshmi amma...

Jeeva: dei kathiru...naan vandi otaren da..

Unaku thala vali nu anni sonanga...

Kat: illa venam annae...

Naan pathukuren...

Moorthy: dei...adan unaku theriyume da...

Avan dhan avan vandiya kanna thavara vera yaarukum kuduka maatan nu...

Apdi oru car paithiyam...

Adunala dane car ivalo naala aa Kunnakudi laye iruku...

Tehrinjum kekura paathiya...

Jeeva: illa thala vali la...

Adhan ketu paathen...

Kathir tried giving a small smile...

Kat: naan ipo oturen...half way aprom nee ottu kanna...

Kanna: kandipa...

And they started the journey...

Kanna: anna...pora vazhila bus stop la vandiya niruthu...

Kat: eduku da...

Kanna: ellam karanama dan...

Kat: enna Karanam?

Kanna: ada Mullai kooda inaiku Chennai poga irundudu...

Avaluku bus seat kedaikala...

Adhan nama koodaye Chennai vara sonen...

Oru seat gaali dhane...

Aprom enna...

Kathir gave kanna a stare knowing it was his plan...

Kanna: enna annas, anni...mullai nama kooda varardhula eda issue ilala la...

Irukadhu enaku dan tehriyume...

And he made sure kathir stopped the car in bus stop..

The family saw Mullai walking towards them in a Black ankle jeans and a maroon top.

TBC...

Ofcourse, next update based on response...
