The next six months go slowly..

It was initially tough for both Kathir and Mullai to put up with..

The course included dance and theory as they said..

The theory classes were okay..

But, the practical classes were bit tiring for her..

She comes home exhausted..

All their saturday nights were meant for sleeping..

Kathir had to reschedule his routine..

He dropped her and picked her up..

Of course, the questions were being raised..

From others..

From the own family..

When PS family asked, Kathir did shut them with, 'Ava ishtam..Ungalukku enna?'

And when MuP asked, he said 'Ava aasapadradha pannatume' politely yet firmly..

When others asked, he ignored them simply..

He was with her all through the journey..

Everytime, she tried to explain what happened over there at the school, he listened patiently..

Happiness was in the moment for them, the more focused the more intense, like a beam of light to their souls..

They got accustomed slowly..

And yes, Mullai finished her diploma..

She cleared it with distinction..

The graduation ceremony..

Since the academy has announced it in prior, Mullai invited everyone..

They have pre-planned in a super cool way and DM, JM and KA come..

JM's son and KA's son take care of L amma..

The age factor stops her to travel..

Yet, she is so eager to see M..

MuP also come..

Aathi and Ash also come..

They have fun together..

The ceremony is supposed to start by 5PM..

They all go to the academy..

Mullai is in a yellow organza cotton saree with blue blouse..

The saree has peacocks throughout in it with threadworks..

The back of the blouse has the same design in yellow colour..

Her hair is braided adorned with two strands of jasmine..

Her jhumkas dance everytime when she turns..

When they announce her name, she goes, gets the certificate and comes down..

K's eyes are glued with her..

He falls for her all over again..

Kanna taps his shoulder..

Enna nae..

Rigama rigasa vaa..

K-Dei..

Aathi-Appa pala varushama paadite irukaaru..niruthave illa...

Ash-Amma kooda paadraanga.. Athayum sollu man..

They all share a laughter..

Mrs.Indhra congratulates Mullai and Kathir as well..

Thank you sir..

She is so talented..

Neenga support pannalana idhu ivlo dhooram vandhurukaadhu..

He smiles back..

He thanks Ash with a smile...

For enlightening him at the right time..

They reach home after some time..

Once they all settled down,
Kathir asks..

Dei, enna da annanum thambiyum gift, gift nu buildup kudutheenga..

Enna da adhu?

Aathi-Nice question pa..

Let me bring it..

He goes and comes with two covers..

He asks M to open it..

M is astonished to see it..

One is a photo..

A large sized one, which shows that she is dancing..

It is made of small pictures taken during her practising sessions..

Second one is, a pair of dancing bells..

She is so overwhelmed..

Tear drops run through her cheeks..

K hugs her gently..

AA-Maa....

Gift kuduthadhu naanga..

Appa ku repaying ah..

Enna ma neenga..

She grabs them and kisses their foreheads..

They have fun time together..

And, Aathi asks for a selfie..

They allllll focus on the camera..

CLICK..

CLICK..

CLICK..

CLICK...

A picture perfect family..

Everyone is soooo happy..

Especially, Parvathy..

Actually, it was her dream to dance..

Mullai inherited it from her..

Those were the days, when she actually criticized her for talking and taking the dance seriously..

But, she made it today..

She is beyond happy..

She has to agree with all her heart,  soul and everything..

"Maapla thangam dhaan"..

She silently wipes her tears..

They eat and they disperse to their rooms..

K and M are in their room..

M is standing at the balcony..

K hugs her from the behind..

How do u feel?

M turns back..

Looks into his eyes..

They are stained with a colour of hot chocolate on a cold, winter night that wraps around her like a blanket..

They engulf her in their warmth and make her feel at home..

These deep pools of black anthracite swirls seize the depth and heaviness of one thousand untold stories which imprisoned the sweetness of the saccarine chocolates..

He whispers in his ears..

I love you da..

She hugs him back..

With a pride smile and a single tear..

The teardrop told the untold..

The alloy-silver salver feels shy and hides itself behind the clouds..
