நிதம் தோனும் ஆசைகள் நூறு
அந்த நூறு ஆசையும்
உன்னை சார்ந்தவைதான்……

Sitting in the flight looking out into the dense clouds visible from his window seat, praying that his bestie, her brother doesn't leave right after the wedding, at the least till he comes back, for his hope resided in both of their besties in case her answer is in negative.

When he had lost hope once before in his life, the very same people had reinfused hope back into his life...

He could still remember the day he had left Bangalore telling a simple "Keep in touch"

Back then he really had no idea where those phrases would lead him to.

But life engifted him the best...

All these years, it was easy for him to keep his occupation hidden from his family.

Fate had made sure his postings were far away from his home, but now knowing his transfer to his very own base in his very own forte.

There is no way, his family will be spared of the reality about his job.

How was he supposed to break the news to them?

A SOFTWARE ENGINEER to CYBER CRIME HEAD...

Crap...

He really needed some support from his baby brother...

To set his both love, his job and his women back to track.

He'll have to do some real hoaxing this time.

His flight landed shortly, and he drove to the headquarters for his joining procedure.

Right after, he drove to meet his team.

A small intro as he still had a couple of hours for his next flight...

Meanwhile, he fished his phone to make a call..

Kathir: dei kannna...

Kanna: sollu annan...

Perusa endha change um illa...dhrona papa va matum embi embi paka try panadha notice panen...

Nothing else..

Kathir: hmmm...

Kanna: mullai is fine...Innum ava reply edhum tharala...

Kanna: idha keka dhan imbutu mennu muzhunguniya enna...

So just chill...

Kathir: Seri da...

Its time for boarding...

Night oru 10 o clock airport vandiru da..

Kanna: kandipa...bye...

He cut the call and went towards his gang who were having all the fun pulling Kishore's leg...

Vetri: enna da kanama poita nadula...

Kanna: kathir anna phone panichu adhan...

As expected, he saw her eyes twinkling with life...

Kanna mv: rendu perum avalo kaadhal ulla vechiytu ennathuku dan ipdi vesham podrangalo...

Ennavo...Mullai yes solli...nala irundha seri dhan...

Dhanam: dei eppo da varanam...

Kanna: night 10 ku airport vandu pick pana solirukanga..

Vetri: seri nee pick pana porapo sollu...

Even I will come with you...

Naanum aisha vum nalaiku morning flight edukurom...

Mullai: konja naal kooda can't you stay back..?

She asked with hopeful eyes and a puppy dog face...

Mullai: ennaku innum dhrona va thooki kooda aasa theerala...

Please stay back na...

Vetri: illa da pattuma...adhulan seri varadhu...

Meena was really consfused with the addressing...of both of them...

Mullai: aisha...nee achum sollen di...

Please...

Her eyes teared up already...

Vetri: hey ellam therinju silly aa azhuvadha da...

Aisha maintained her silence...

When meena interrupted...

Meena: enna mulla ..unga friends odaa romba attached ...romba  pudikum pola...

Kelambranga nu sonadhume kan kalanguringa...

Mullai: they are not my friends they are  family...

She uttered in a no nonsense tone..

A tone meena used while arguing with jeeva, shw was really surprised to hear the very same tone from the girl, her co sister always referred as a timid soft spoken girl...

Well, she doesn't look anything near to a soft girl to meena ' s eyes...

Meena: ada tension agadinga mulla...I can understand some people are just not friends they are family nu...

She saw her co sister shaking her head in a no towards her, while her youngest brother in law sushed his friend to keep calm.

Mullai left the place to find some solace...

Others quietly dispersed, vetri or aisha would never utter the truth...

It was not kanna or abhi's part to tell the true relationship not when there was a proposal put forth between kathir and mullai.

Ohhh...how much she wished his kada adorned hand held her soft ones within his, and caressed her hand whispering the words "shhhh...don't worry...am there ....I will make everything normal".

Once everyone left

Meena: ivunga seri eh illa ka...edhayo maraikara madhiri illa..

Dhanam: meena, andha payan vetri vandhu mullai oda anna nu nethu kathir sonnan..

Meena: ennadhu annan aa.....

Dhanam gave a small gist of whatever its n bits of information she had...

Meena mv: apo kathir kum mullai kum oruthara oruyhar romba nala therinjirukum la...

Epdi kooti kazhichu paathalum namaku apdi dhan thonudhu  ..

Aana idha sonna namala loosu nu soluvanga...

Ipothaiku shwetha kalyanam enjoy panuvom aprom kathir mullai aa nala watch panuvom...

Mullai didn't stay back to attend the rest of the wedding,  she was in dilemma...

One side stood her stubborn brother who wanted to leave the very next day..keeping up the promise of not contacting her...

Another side stood her parents, who weren't mellowing down...

The other way stood her own dilemma of accepting Kathir back to life...

She rushed back to her room crying her lungs out...

She wanted all 3 of them in her life...

She won't be able to take side between her parents n brother...

Neither will she be able to accept kathir keeping him under dark nor tell the truth and break him as well...

What was she supposed to do??

She really needed some light to walk towards from dark..

She was never confused ever before in her life...

She really wished her brother had not made that stupid promise of staying away from her...

All she wanted right now was her bestie who might either whack her n tell her what to do or the soul sis who would hug n safeguard her..

She slept off tired from crying...

Tbc...

I know its a mere filler part but I felt it important for the story...

Next part will be up once there is good response.....

Till then read, vote, comment and enjoy...
