Yes...
Roguish Kathir and chirpy Mullai are in love...
Deeply madly in love..
They dont know the exact timeframe about when their love blossomed...
They never opened up to each other verbally...

They had never put out things in exact words about their love but conveyed the same through thousands and thousands of words indirectly and received naughty but positive responses from the other...

They do have late night talks, all day spent in meaningless messages, roam around together like lovers without knowledge of people at home but one exact confession is what they didnt get to go...

Jeeva and Kanna knew the exact thing happening between them still all others had a slightest doubt about them and were waiting for proper acknowledgement from kathir and mullai....
Jeeva, being the responsible elder brother wanted both of them to share their feelings for each other and move into a soulful relationship rather than silly flirtations....
He knew about things happening in both houses so tried to make kathir and mullai aware of it...
But Kathir was least bothered about all that so was mullai...

Their family and relationship were closely knit with all love and affection...
They were together always...
They met if they longed to...
They spoke if they wanted to...
They spent time if they yearned for...

As everything were positive for their relationship, they didnt get any uneasiness or fear about them...
They knew they would marry eachother one day other than that they never had any deep thoughts about future...
Their only wish was to enjoy the current moment in their own way....

With these things going on between kathir and mullai, the family started bride looks for jeeva...

Everyone reached the Bride(meena)'s home and got settled in the living room waiting for meena...

The elders were sitting together and it was jeeva followed by kathir,mullai and kanna separately....

Meena came with coffee for bride groom's family... Jeeva and meena had already grew a liking for each other with the pictures so it was more like a custom than confirmation....

Ka : ponnu kutti ah iruku illaaa..

M : mama mattum ena six feet ah... yellam match ah than irukum.... chumma iru da...

Ka : hmmm sari than... but porutham nalla than iruku...

M : aama aama.... alaga irukanga illa...

Ka : aama anni... kutti ah irunthalum cute ah irukanga...

M : aama da...

To K : nee yen amaithiya iruke... ponnu nalla alagu illaa...

Kathir who was disturbed a little about mullai's marriage talks by elders as told by jeeva came to senses as she touched his hand...

As always, he could feel a adrenaline rush as her fingers brushed against his...

K : haan...yena kette...

M : nalla alagu illa nu ketten... olunga kuda paakama yena yosichitu iruke...

Off course, he didnt see the bride more than a second ... He was looking at mullai as he leaned comfortably on the L shaped sofa which helped him to look at her without turning to her explicitly...

She was looking ravishing in his favorite lime yellow and blue color chudithar with minimal accessories and makeup...
Her josh, her enthusiasm, her giggles, her dancing eyes complemented her beauty so well...

K : romba romba alagu...

Ka (sarcastically) : aama aama...

M : sema sweet ah irukanga...

K : bayangara sweet..

Ka : anne... ne anniyava solre...

K : aama da... (a pause)

unnoda anni ah...

Ka : oh ho... moonavathu anni than eh...

K : athe than...

Ka mindvoice : kadavule... yaaruku ponnu paaka vanthom ne theriyalaiye.... intha anne inga vanthu ipadi valiyuthe...

M : athena da moonavathu anni...

Though her question was for kanna, Her eyes were curiously boring into his eyes...

Ka : athu...

Kanna who started to reply stopped seeing the eye lock...

Ka mindvoice : intha madhiri oru kaadhal ah na paathathe illa da saaami.. vaayaala pesika mattangalam aana kanaala pesipangalam...

K : athu onum illa... ivangaluku oru thangachi irukam... athan oru velai antha ponnu ivanuku moonavathu anni ah vantha unaku ok ah nu ketten...

Ka mindvoice : anne pinnuthe..

M : enkita ketutu than yellam panuviyaakum....

K : aama...

M : oh ho...

K : illaa unaku ivanuku moonaavathu anni ah varanum nu asai iruntha sollu panidalam...

M : Aasai illana...

K : illana yena... tho jeeva annanuku pesum bothu apadiye enakum pesunga nu solidaren... sari ah...

M : oh ho... apadi apadi...

Ka mindvoice : jeeva anne love ah than eh sola solichu... ithuku peru love proposal ah... aiyo... dei anna... mudiyala da ennala...

L : mulla... inga vaa ma...

M : varren atha....

K : ei... sari ah illaaya.. solitu po..

M : aama solragha....

Mullai left the place with a blushing smile making him grin...

Ka : anne...yena ne nadakuthu... i love u sola sonna yena panitu iruka.. anni ah i hate u sola vechuruve pola... enaku unna nenacha kovam kovama varuthu..

K : poda... unaku ithelam puriyaathu....

Ka : ufff.... ne thiruntha maate...

What happened next was just a usual bride looks day... As the bride and groom liked eachother, they proceeded further deciding dates for marriage and engagement and they took a leave...

They came back home, spent sometime in discussing about bride, her family and regarding preparations for engagement...

Mu : sari ka... neram achu.. na ivangala vitutu mill ku poganum... nanga kelambarom...

L : sari da muruga... parvathi neeyum muruganum than munna irunthu intha kalyanatha nadathanum... unga poruppu.. ipove soliten...

P : neenga itha solanuma athachi... kavalaiye paadathenga... nalla senjudalam... naanga irukom....

L : athu pothum enaku.. poitu vaanga...

D : mullaa... nichayathuku thuni yeduka porapo solren...neeyum chithi kuda vaa sari ah...

M : kandipa varen ka...

As they moved out to leave, kathir pulled mullai to his room and pinned her to the wall...

M : yena panre... yaravathu paaka poranga...

K : paakatum... nallathu than eh...

M : athu sari...

K : aama bathil eh solaama pona yepadi... solitu po...

M (with eyes gleaming in naughtiness) : bathil than eh.. antha ponnaiye moonavathu anni ah kutitu vanthukonga...

K : oh ho... appo unaku onum prachanai illaa...

M : cha cha... suthama illaa...

K : hmmm paathukaren...

M : yaara...

K : athan kannanoda moonavathu anni ah...

M : sari sari... appuram...

K : appuram...

M : all the best... athan un kalyaanathuku...

She grabbed his hand and shooked it as a gesture of wishing him luck with a wide grin...

K : romba thanks... athan en kalyaanathuku...

He in turn squeezed her hand with a mischievous glint in eyes that made her fall for him as always....

Mu : ammadi mullaa...

They broke the eye lock and hands shake....

M : Varen...

K : hmmm...

She got into the car with her eyes still on him so did his eyes with a charming smile playing around their lips....

THAT DAY was the last day she saw him with all love in her eyes...

Post that her eyes never met his....

NEXT DAY was the last day, she messaged and spoke to him...

Post that she never replied to any of his messages nor attended his call...

Its been TWO WEEKS, she started avoiding him for the reason which he himself didnt know...

He went twice to her house to check on her...

First time, She was no where found and was given a reason that she was sick by her parents...
Off course, he knew that was sometime around her monthly cycle....

Second time, she was there but whomped him completely
not even a single peek...
not even a formal greeting... not even a small smile...

All he could see was dreary agony and masked anger in her eyes and face...

He came out in minutes unable to see his bubbly girl in such a mood....

Since then....

His world was overcasted by darkness...

His days were completely doomed...

His lips never curved even for a fake smile...

His stomach never craved for anything...

His heart weighed heavy...

He understood
the pain of love...
the pain of not SAYING the love...
the pain of not sharing the love...
the pain of missing the love...

He understood he was nothing without her in just two weeks...

All his playfulness came to a halt...

And

TBC...
