ஆத்திரத்தில்
துடிக்காதே அவசரமா
புடிக்காதே தூண்டியிலே
மீனாட்டம் மாட்டிக்கிட்டு
முழிக்காதே

Prabhakaran was really about to break his head seeing the brother's childish fight, but he was relieved on seeing the person's entry.

"ada mulla va ma, nee eh vandu inda sandaya theethu vai ....peru ku dan army officers aana china pulla thanama sanda podaranga un cousins rendu perume...

Nee ivunga sandaya enjoy panu naan varen...

Apo naan varen kathir, see you in camp young man"

And he left having a casual chat with Madhan, who had come to drop off Mullai not seeing that Kanna was in the state of confusion, not really getting what his senior was blabbering now.

Kanna was glancing or even better staring at both Kathir and Mullai, really not getting any heads or tails about the happenings, when he saw someone resembling a caretaker.

"Bitiya, aap aa gayi, mein ye poochne ke liye ayi thi, raath ke liye kya banana hai?

(dear, you came, I came to ask what to make for dinner?"

"Rahne dijiye Shukla ji, aap ke ghar pe mehmaan aa rahe the na, aap jayiye, raath ka ham kuch dekh lenge"

(Its fine Shukla ji, today you have guests at home right, so you leave, I would manage for the night)

"Ji bitiya" (Yes dear)

Then glancing at the new person, couldn't contain his urge to know about the new person

"Bitiya ye kaun hai" (Dear who is this)

"mera chota bhai hai" (my younger brother) came his master's reply.

" Acha pure Khandan fauji ho kya..." he joked and left...(oh, the whole family are soldiers)

"Pakka bitiya, tum sabal logi, devar bi aaya hai" (Are you sure that you would manage dear, your brother in law has also come)

Mullai nodded her head. Nodding his head, Shukla ji took leave, adding on more oil to the fire.

"Kozhandangaluku ethana vayasu" was his question the moment Shukla ji left.

"Kozhandaingala? Yaaruku" questioned Mullai perplexed...

"ada vera yaaruku unga rendu peruku dan"

"Enna da olarara"

"ohhooo madam ku naan olarareno...."

"ipo nee solradhu olarardhu illama vera enna"

"ada unga vishayam lan...sola mudiyadhu madam"

"Kanna, dei kadupethada....enaku puriyudu unaku didirnu ellam therinjadum epdi irukum nu"

"epdi iruku madam solunga kepom"

"Dei, avala en da ipo madam nu kooptutu iruka"

"ada en head oda wife aa madam nu koopdama vera epdi koopda nu therlaye sir "

"kannaaa" he yelled....she knew where this talk was leading to.

"Kanna, konjam porumaya naan solradha kelen da"

" ada neenga soli kekama irupena... nalaiku illana morning punishment kuduthitinga na"

"Kanna, please da....nee nenaikara madiri lan illa da"

"aama dan, naan nenaikara madiri illa nu enaku nethe therinjidichu sir, enna evalo kennaya irindiruken nu ipo dan therinjikitu irukena" he said glancing at Mullai and kathir alternatively.

"seri sir, adelam venam....naan veena unga personal time aa disturb pana virumbala, naan ipo apdiye podi nadaya nadanden na night kula camp ku poiduven" he said taking his leave.

"kanna" kathir held his hand.

"Please da.....konjam naan solradha kelen....please"

Kanna saw how two of his favorite people were standing head bowed with teary eyes, and he didn't have it in him to hurt them more.

"Kekuren....vera edukum illa....keta enna poga viduvinga la....solunga andha veena pona unga nyayatha"

Though hurt, kathir gave a gist of all that happened in short, right from how he decided on doing highers in Cyber security from Mullai's words to how he joined in IB and later to Military.

"wowwwww" uttered kanna standing up, clapping his hand sarcastically.

"Apdiye pul arikidu" he said showing his arms in a taunting manner.

"kaannaaaa please daaa" kathir had almost started pleading "

"ada neenga lan please kekalama, thappu thappu kannathula potukuren....neenga evalo periya aalu...." Another taunt.

"Seri, apdiye neenga en cousin epdi aaninga nu irukura kadhayum soninga na kelamba vasadhiya irukum" he gave a taut smile.

Seeing them maintain the silence,

"ada solunga cousin sister, ipdi maunama irunda enna artham"

Mullai uttered everything happened in a guilty manner.

"Phaaaaa.....Vera level nga...vera level....epdinga ipdi lan...evalo vela paathrikinga....

Illa illa, naan evalo periya kenaya irundiruken....

Adavadu, En annan nu irukura aalum um en best friend nu nenacha aalum love pani break up agi again patch up ayirikinga... Aduvum College first year laye love panirukanga....

He tauntingly giglled...

"Dei, naan oh Mullai oh unna ematha nenaikala da please purinjiko.."

"adan solrene neenga nenaikala....naana ungala pathi theriyama emanditen"

'illa da kanna"

"aprom enna aani ku marachinga neenga...illa kekuren..."

"en mulla, ennodayum abhi aa pathiyum un kita sonapo....

"dei sonna veena namakula irukura friendship um affect agumo nu bayandu dan...

" Ada idu adha vida sooper.... Sirikava azhava nu solunga neenga....7 varusham comali aa thirinjiruken...

"naan solavenam nu soli dhan kanna"

"adhan enake theriyume....iper pata master plan la ava moolai la varadhu"

"kanna, please da sorry da manichidu...ipdi hurting aa pesadha da"

Kanna nodded his head....

"ayayyo, enna neenga please uh, hurt lan solringa....adelam neenga solave koodadhu....

"kanna enna da solra....ingaye iru da...enaku ivalo periya quarters irukum bodhu en thambi anga apdi camp la...

"ayyayo...naana cha cha...neenga dan edo thappa nenachirukinga....

En annan rendu per Chennai la irukanga, innoru anna, aduvum en close anna UK la vela pakudu...

Ada vita cousins la kooda enaku anna laan yaarum illa sir...

Aprom naan epdi unga thambi aaven"

Before Mullai could convince him, Kanna was pulled back and slapped right across his cheek making Mullai look shocked.

"kathirrrr" she yelled...

"enna panringa kathir"

"Nee enaku thambi illaya da...sollu....holding his collar....nee en thambi illaya"

"Unga 7 varusha kadhaya ipo dane sola thonichu...adhe madiri naan un thambi nu enaikachum solanum nu thonichuna naanum solren...

Adu vara enna en pokula vitrunga"

"kanna, enna da....ipdi solra"

" Ivalo kooda panlati naan lan manushan eh ila....adu vara nan verum oru subedar neenga en senior Captain, purinjidha"

Though it was painful, he nodded his head.

"Prabha sir kitayum solidunga"

He hmmed in response.

"nee nadandu pogadha...guard yaarayachum unna vida solren...nala distance iruku nadandu pogadha kanna...adhachum kelu"

"kathir, saptu posolu kanna va"

"illa venaam....senior veetla sapdradhu nala irukadhu"

"Thiripiyum modhal lendu en da ipdi" mullai almost pleaded..

" nee dan arambikira....naan kelambren..." Seeing Kathir starting to mutter something he added...."un guard aa ye vida solu"

And he took his leave...

Kathir felt a tap on his shoulder...

Dharshan stood watching Kathir for a long time....

" indha kathir chithapa apdi ennatha vaanathula paathitu iruku"

Kanna who glanced at kathir realized he should have been drowned in the past...

" poi ketu vanriya....poo" he pushed him...

And he slowly tapped kathir's shoulder...

" ennatha yoschitu irukinga "

"Onnum illa da...." he said smiling, but looking at his family he was really wondering how to convey about his job to them...

He didn't want a repeat telecast of kanna's time..

The whole family was present...so was mullai, kanna and abhi...

Taking few deep breaths, he walked towards them, but before he could present....

His anni had started talking on a call

"Mullai....aa vaaipe illa...edachum rumour aa dan irukum...

Am sure miss"..

The whole family's attention got diverted onto the call....

Tbc....
