Durga went to her home and started doing her chores. As usual she didn't take much food and started her work, stitching blouse and drawing kolam in a note.  

In the evening she got ready to visit the temple. On her way she noticed that still the fight is going on..  She too went near there and heard the conversation. 

Police Men- "sir, inum evlo neram ivanga sandaya vedika pakurathu sir?"

Vetrivel- "Naamma ethavathu panna , apuram police eduthutu poitanga athunala jaathi oda punithame poiduchunu kathuvanga.. Let them decide first.. apuram namma velaiah pakalam.. nee tension agatha, coffee kudichiah?"

Police Men- "yes sir."

Vetrivel- "enakum onnu vangitu vaa. serial directors ellam ivanga kita irunthu kathukalam pola... ore visayatha ipo varaikum vachu sanda potutu irukanga... romba kovama pesuratha ninachu comedy panitu irukanga.."

Police Men smiled and went.  

Man 1- "ella vettuna bagathaium test pana solalam... athula ethu yarodathu nu mudivu panni apuram sadangu seiyuvom."

Man 3- "ithuvum nalla yosanai thaan.. ". Vetrivel was sipping his coffee and watching everything.

Police Men- "onnonnaium kandu pudikurathuke naal agidum, athuvaraikum itha vachikitu iruka mudiathu.. "

Man 2- "athuvum gnayam thane, kooru pottu illa vetirukan."

Man 1- "ippo epadi le sadangu seiyurathu?"

Muthupandi got irritated by these acts. Because often they have to praise the person who did this, when they talk about the process. 

Muthupandi- "athaye evlo neram la yosipeenga? itho ithe idathula vachu ellathaium potu onna koluthunga lae... "

Man 3- "ayya apo sadangu.. "

Muthupandi- "ethuvum kidaiyathu... "

Man 1- "athepadingaya? apuram naama jathi mariyathai.."

Muthupandi- "atha kapatha yosikuraven, ipadi oruthan veturathu kooda theriatha alavuku iruka koodathu.. ipadi panavana uru theriama alikanum, atha vitutu... Ponga, aga vendia velaya paarunga... ", he told in much rage..

Man 2- "ayya, Thalaiya apadiye vitrukanla... Thalaiku matumachum mariyathaiah sadangu seiyalama ayya? enna irunthalum namma jaathi..."

Muthupani- "sari sari senju tholanga... Velaaa ", he cut it off by there itself. His head is paining a lot due to this and the fights.

Velan- "ayya"

Muthupandi-" pesi mudichutu vaa.." . Velan nodded his head. 

Vetrivel- "okay, apo post mortem ku naanga body ah eduthutu poitu tharom.. apuram neenga ethunalum panikonga..  Team.. "

Police Team- "Done sir.. ". They took the body and left. 

Everyone left from the place. Durga then went to the temple. She whole heartedly said thanks to the god. Veera and Vikraman too came to temple to see her. She didn't even spare a glance at them. She didn't know they are standing before her too. She just walked around the temple having multiple thoughts and sat in the corner. She leaned on the pillar in the temple and started to think about multiple things. Veera and Vikraman looked at her worriedly. The way she lives this life gives a sharp pain in their heart. They looked at each other. 

At night, In Durga's home, Muthupandi looked at Durga while she was moving to her room. Once she left, 

Muthupandi- "puthusa vithyasama kolai ellam nadakuthe vela"

Velan- "evano puthusa molaikuran ayya, killi yerinchudalam... "

Muthupandi- "ipadi vetirukanae.. yara irukum... ivanga kai vacha idathula ethavathu micham vachutu vanthutangala?"

Velan- "Namma alunga mela kai vaika yaruku thairiam vanthida poguthunga... "

Muthupandi- "vanthiruku... vida koodathu... ithuku ethavathu pananume.."

Velan- "sollung ayya senjidalam.."

Muthupandi- "mothalla nalaiku intha police ah paathu, namma thambi kolaiku yaar karanam nu theinjatha nu kekanum..."

Velan- "nalaiku veetuke vara solidalam-nga ayya.. "

Muthupandi- "hmm, antha puthusa vanthirukura Kaali paya ethuvum panirupana?"

Velan- "avan ellam oru aala ayya? summa murukikitu thiriuran avlo thaan... Namma thambi mela kai vaikura alavuku avanuku ethu thariam.."

Muthupandi- "ethukum avan mela oru kannu vei.. ". They then went to Muthupandi's room.

Durga slowly came out of the house and walked towards Kaali's house. On her way, she looked at the Bungalow but moved from there within seconds. Once she reached Kaali's house, she has to start cooking and cleaned the house. 

After a while, Kaali knocked the door. Durga smiled and opened the door. She smiled widely and once he closed the door, she pushed herself on him and kissed him. Kaali lifter her. 

Kaali- "yaraivathu veti potta matum, nee ipadi kati pudichu mutham koduthu varaverpiah?"

Durga- "ini epavume ipadi thaan. "

Kaali- "hmm papom.. enna....  ellam nee sona padi nadanthucha? rendu jathi karangalaum kolapiyachu pothuma?", he let her down. 

Durga- "amam, but thalaiah vachu sandangu panidalam nu pesikitaanga, appo than feel panen atha vitutome nu", she uttered while unbuttoning his shirt. 

He removed his shirt, gave that to her and said, "Romba thaan di feeling uh... samachitiah?"

Durga hanged his shirt and said, "athellam eppavo ready..nalla sooda iruku, neenga unga velai ellam mudichutu vanga, naan poi eduthu vaikuren.. "

Kaali looked at her once and went to refresh himself. After a while, He wiped the water with the towel. 

Kaali- "hmm, ivlo paniyum enna prayojanam... naan sonna padi seiyuren aana, nee?"

Durga came out and said, "athaan vanthu katipudichu mutham koduthenla? neenga enaku kodutha mari thane koduthen.. nalla thane irunthathu?"

Kaali- "Nalla irunthathu, aana asaiye varalaye.."

Durga left out a breathe and said, "ippo enna pananum? atha sollunga.."

Kaali- "yendi, unakaga ivlo panrenae.. enakaga, naan unmela asai padura mathiri ethavathu panriah?"

Durga- "ethavathunna?", she asked him confusingly.

Kaali pulled her in front of the mirror and said, " inga paaru, unna nalla paaru... thalaiya ipadiya di vachirupa? kadaisiya eppo olunga seevuna di? atha vidu nethiyila oru chinna potachum iruka? itho intha kaluthula elumbu thaan theiruthu, oru china chain kooda illa...  kaila oru valayal illa... ethachum potrukiah, una pathathum asai varura mathiri.. "

She looked at herself once in the mirror.

Kaali- "veetla avlo nagai irukume, nee yen onnu kooda podala? naan thirudiruven nu bayama?"

Durga- "athellam illa... antha nagai ellam poda pudikala... Neenga vangi thanga potukaren.. "

Kaali- "ethu? naan vaangi tharanuma? apuram muthal naal enna paka varum pothu matum potruntha?", He looked at her shocked.

Durga- "athu anaiku panam keta kodukurathukaga potutu vanthen, apuram ellam kalati vachuten..... ungaluku pudicha mathiri thane naan irukanum, apo neenga vangi thaanga"

Kaali- "yen un appan vanginathu ellam poda matiya-kum?"

Durga- "athu ellam pudikala... ethana peroda alugaiyo athu ellam... enaku vendam"

Kaali gave her 1000 rupess and said, "intha nalaiku vangiko"

Durga- "pathathu.. "

Kaali- "ethey!! ithuve pathatha? yei paathu selavu pannu di... ", he was about to take another 500.

Durga grabbed his purse, took another two thousand from his purse and said, "haan, apuram kannula mai illa, idupula otiyanam illa, thodula jimiki illa, valayal design nalla illa kallu kuthuthu nu soluveenga.. ellam vanganumla, ungala kuthatha aluvukku"

Kaali- "ithellam nalla pesu di..", he pulled her towards him and bite her lips once and left. 

Durga- "sapda vaanga"

Kaali- "sapadatuma? ready ah irukiah?"

Durga- "oh, athellam epavo eduthu ready ah vachiruken.. vaanga"

Kaali slapped his forehead and said, "poo, varen". Durga bite her lips to control her smile and went. While having dinner, 

Durga- "neenga epadi kolai matum thaan panuveengala? illa intha kaiya veturathu, kaala veturathu, kanna nondurathu ithellam kooda panuveegnala?"

Kaali looked at her and asked, "unaku enna venum?"

Durga- "enaku ipothaiku, Velan irukarulla.. en appa koodave alaiyuvare avaroda kanna nondanum, rendu kannaium.... mudiuma?"

Kaali- "oh, apo avara kolla vendama?"

Durga- "athu apuram .. ipo kanna matum nondanum..."

Kaali- "yen thideernu.."

Durga- "appa ku light ah santhegam vanthiduchu unga mela.. 'avan mela oru kannu vei' nu velan kita solitu irunthar.. athan rendu kannaium pudingidalam nu thonuchu.."

Kaali- "nalla ennam thaan.. sari pakalam.. "

They had their dinner and Durga came near him with two notes after cleaning the place.  Kaali lied on the bed and gestured her to lie next to him. He hugged her and asked,

Kaali- "enna di ithu?"

Durga- "ithu kola note... ithula onnu nalaiku podrathuku select pananum.. apuram ithu vanthu, namma kolai pana aalungaloda list. ellathaium eluthi, evlo nu rate potu, ethana thadava padukanum nu kanaku pakanum la"

Kaali- "sari, muthalla kolatha paathidalam.. kaatu.."

Kaali didn't touch the note. She was flipping the pages and showing that to him while he was touching her, pinching her, seducing her though making comment for each design. 

Durga- "ippadi ellathukum oru kutham sonna, naan enna panrathu? etha thaan nalaiku podurathu", She kept the note aside and hugged him. 

Kaali- "moththa kolamae avlo thana?"

Durga- "hmm, nalaiku venumna kadai la vangi pakuren... kola design note.."

Kaali- "sari, sari. ithulaye onnu nalaiku podu.. ipothaiku okay"

Durga kissed his cheeks and said, "thanks pa"

Kaali- "yen di thavani ah kalatala?"

Durga- "athu neenga epadi irukunu inum solave illaye?"

Kaali- "yen nee kannadi pakalaya?"

Durga- "athellam pakurathu illa..  pudikala"

Kaali- "en nilamaiah pathiah, neeyae kannadi paakatha un moonchiya paathu naan asai padanum..". Durga glared at him and pouted. 

Kaali- "pch, kattilla moonjiya thookatha di, kadichuduven.. "

Durga- "summa summa enna ethavathu solite irukeenga"

Kaali- "Nee panratha thaan solren.. ivlo neram aache, inum note ah vachukitu, vaai pesitu iruka.. ipadiye pona naan pana kolaiku ellam epadi vasoolikurathu?"

Durga- "Haan, panidalam, panidalam ... ipo entha CD padanum?"

Kaali- " onum thava illa, nee enamo padatha paatha mathiri pesatha.... Nee pakave illa nu enaku theirum.."

Durga- "naan enna puthusa vaa atha pakuren.... solapona ungakita irukurathu romba palaya CD.."

Kaali- "ithuku munnadi pathurukiah?", he was shocked to the core.. The truth which he was hearing is unbearable.. 

Durga- "amam, Veetla neraiah iruku.. Appa vum, Anna vum amma vaium, velaiku vara akkavaium utkara vachu intha mathiri padatha thaan poduvanga.. Neraiah video, neenga ipo konnengalae antha photographer studio la thaan eduthathu.... apuram neriah padathula veedu mathiri varum, ellam intha rendu oor pasangalum akkagalum thaan.... amma aluthute irupanga.. enakum anga irunthu poidanum nu thonum aana kaal nagarave nagarathu.. apuram en kannu munnadiye... "

Kaali bite her neck. Durga hissed and looked at him. 

Durga- "pesite irukum pothe yen kadikureenga?"

Kaali- "live show pathutu, atha solli verupethuriah?"

Durga- "amam peria live show... enaku ithellam pudikala... intha TV la pakura mathiri ellam family nijamave irukatha? illa enaku matum thaan apadi oru family illaya?"

She is unaware that she is talking a lot now, that too sharing things with him. She started to regain herself with him. The basic reason is she started to believe him. She herself don't know why she started to believe him a lot, even she didn't believe her girl friends too. 

Kaali- "unaku oru family amaincha yethupiah? intha TV la ellam vara mathiri.. "

Durga giggled and said, "neenga kolai matum than seiveenganu ninachen, family ellam kodupeengala?"

Kaali- "unaku venum na sollu pakuren.... "

Durga- "venum, enaku vera appa, amma, anna ellam venum.. tharuveengala?", she left out a breathe and started at the ceiling.

Kaali- "nalaiku order kodutharen... ipo vaa". They both hugged each other tightly.

Kaali whispered in her ears, "puthusa vaangi kodutha bra ellam sariah iruka?". Durga hummed in response and clutched his baniyan. 

Kaali- "Naan check pani pakatuma?". Durga closed her eyes and started to feel him. 

After a while she slept. As usual, Vikraman and Veera both came and started their session. After four hours, 

Vikraman- "nalla improvement da..  ithe tablets ah continue panidalam... "

Veera-  "dei, romba nalaiku papa antha veetla iruka vendam.. seekram ethavathu pannu"

Kaali- "Hmm, enaku en amma va pakanum pola iruku da.. oru naal poitu varatuma?"

Veera- "appa ta ketu solren.. "

Kaali- "hmm, message pannu da.."

Vikraman- "ellam sari agidum mapla. Romba feel panatha". Kaali just nodded her head. 

Kaali- "apuram velan kanna nondanumam unga peepa ku"

Veera- "atha nanga pathukarom, nee papa voda iru"

Vikraman- "papa va romba thitatha da, pothum.. ava una namba arambichuta.."

Kaali- 'sari sair, ponga daa..". They left the house.

Kaali went to his room, lied beside her and hugged her tightly.
