Next day..

The sunday is the least work day, according to them both..

M wakes up and feels like her head is spinning..

She starts searching him and finds him nowhere in the room..

She freshes herself up and goes to the dining hall..

He is sitting and sipping the tea..

M-Ezhundhacha kathir?

Yen ezhupala..

K-En velaya naane paaka pazhagikren..

He is actually dressed up as if he is going out..

M-Sunday dhana Kathir?

Why did u get up so early?

Engayachum poroma?

K-Hmm aama..Aana porom illa..Poren..

Naan mattum..

Office works iruku..

Adhaan..

He stands up..

Adjusts his shirt..

M-Sapteengala?

K-Illa..vendaam..

I don't feel like eating..

M stops him..

Nillunga oru nimisham..

K-Enna ma?

M-Edhukku ipdi behave panreenga?

Idhu nalla illa Kathir..

Naan en work ah paapen, nee paatuku iru nu sollitu pona enna artham?

Inniku sunday dhana?

Namma veliya povom dhana?

Edhukku office pudhusa?

K-Ellam pudhusa iruke..

Idhuvum adhe maadhiri dhan..

M-Kathir please..

Why are you behaving like this?

Enakku purila..

Kashtama iruku Kathir..

Ivlo varushathula ipdi panradhu ipo dhan..

Enakku pudhusa iruku..

22 years back namma sanda pottom kathir..

But then, everything has changed now..

Ipo yen Kathir ipdi nadandhukreenga?

Can't u understand that I have passion towards dance?

K-Naan edhuvum sollalaye ma..

You do whatever you want to..

Naan ipo kelambava?

M-Unga ishtam kathir..

Aana, onnu..

I don't even know why you are behaving like this..

Enna prachana nu sollunga 1st..

K-Unakku edhuvum illaye..

Apram enna?

M-Enna pesreenga neenga?

K-You said right? That u won't miss me..

Apram enna?

M-Enakku nijamave kovam varudhu..

What do u mean by the word, 'Miss' ?

If you mean to say, 'being alone' , adhu ungala vida naan dhan adhigama pannirken..

Maasathuku 3 thadava veli oor porapa naan thaniya dhan iruken..

Neenga office morning poitu night varapa, nadula daytime full ah naan thaniya dhan iruken..

Apa ungakitta vandhu, neenga engayum pogaadheenga, naan miss panren nu sonna nallava irukum..

Ipa enna? 10 ku poga poren..3-4 ku veetuku vara poren..

Ungalukku apram poitu ungalukku munnadi vara poren..

Idhula where is the point of missing me?

Sollanum nu reason solladheenga..

Prachana ungalukku naan dance aadradhu dhana?

Adha nera sollunga..

Adha vittutu, tailoring, embroidery, baking nu pesikitu..

K-Aama, ithana varushathukku aprama nee poi dance aadren nu kelambradhu, enakku sariya varum nu thonala..

M takes a breath..

Well, if thats the case, it's upto you..

Iam going to join..

Idhukku mela unga virupam..

She wipes the dust in her saree and goes back to their room..

K stands for a minute and goes to the office..

****

'Enna idhu, oru velaiyum odala..

Iva yen ipdi panraa..

Purinjikkama..'

He thinks again and again..

He calls Ash..

To his luck, he picks up the call..

Hello paaaa..

K-Hi da..

Busy ah irukiya?

A-No pa..Illana eduthuruka maatene..

He giggles..

K-Adhu sari..

A-Enna vishayam pa..

K-Yen da, vishayam irundha dhan pesanuma?

A-You seem very dull..

I think you wanna tell me something..

Or else, you wouldn't have called me..

Tell me what's eating up your mind..

The shrewd boy asks..

K-Adhu..

He tells M's wish..

A-Super pa..

Glad that she got something to look upon..

Ipdiye dosa senjite irundhuruvaangalo nu bayandhuten..

Epo pa joining am?

Engayaam?

How will she go?

K-Iru da..

I don't want her to join..

A-Why so?

K-Enakku pidikala da..

Ithana vayasukku apram, dance adhu idhu nu..

Computer kathuka sonnen..

Embroidery..

Or something like this..

A-But, why should she pa?

Passion avangalukku dance ndrapa neenga avangala samayal kathuka sonna epdi pa..

K-Thats what she is also saying..

A-She is right..

Appa, do u remember?

Amma engala chinna vayasula dance kathuko nu avalo sonnaanga..

We didn't..

Because, we don't have any passion or interest towards dance..

Aana ipa puriyudhu enakku..

Avangalukku irundha interest, engalukku inherit aagiruka nu paathrukaanga..

Poor amma..

How sweet illa pa?

K-Dei nee enna da pesra?

Avala kathuka solla poriya?

A-Namma yaaru pa venum venaam nu solradhu?

It's her wish..

Namma support dhan panalaam..

That too if she needs..

Illana amaithiya irukalaam..

Po, pogaadha nu solradhukku namma yaaru..

K-Nee enna da ipdi pesra?

A-Appa, she is a human..

With emotions..

Like us..

Avangalukku interest iruku kathukanum nu..

Nyaayama paatha, namma idha kandupidichu epavo sethu vitrukanum..

Too late..

But, better late than never..

Ask her to join..

And ask her to send me the images too..

K-Enakku Pudikala da..

A-Neenga kathuka vendaam pa..

K-Dei ava kathukradhu enakku pidikala da..

School ku poi, ithana vayasuku apram..

Oorla, veetla laam enna pesuvanga..

A-Is it u talking?

Really?

Yaaru enna pesina enna pa?

Naalaiku perusa achieve panrapa, Enakku apave theriyum nu solla poraanga..

So, don't worry..

And, ungalukku unga ads mela theeratha kaadhal..

Vitrunga nu sonna viduveengala?

Maateenga dhana?

Apram why amma?

I would love to see her dancing..

Ipave, avanga ivlo naal ellathayum sacrifice pannadhu, namakkaga dhan..

Namma routine and schedule affect aagama iruka dhan..

Ipove , I feel guilty..

Idhuke naan sorry sollanum first..

But, she won't like anyways..

Let me gift her something special to convey my sorry and gratitude as well..

Neengalum ethachum vaangi kuduthu, help pannunga..

Okay ah?

Appa, somebody is calling me..

Ash is busy..

Shall call u later..

Bye pa..

Take care..

He cuts the call..

K doesn't know how to react..

Enna dhan aanalum roots pogadhu nu sonnavana ipdi pesraan..

He thinks..

******

The next two weeks pass by..

Both K and M, didn't speak anything..

They both were busy with their works..

K went to office and returns back late as usual..

M was very busy with her chores and getting everything done for her classes..

Next Monday..

She gets ready and goes to the room..

She checks herself in the mirror..

A mild Orange colour saree paired up with a maroon blouse with orange beads..

Hair braided up neatly..

Little kohl on the eyes..

Perfect..

She tells herself..

K is on off..

She sees him standing behind her through the mirror..

She turns back..

Kathir, oru varathukku dress iron panni inga vechirken..

Bedspread, pillow covers maathiten..

Tie ready ah iruku..

Shoes ellame polished..

Ipo breakfast kooda ready..

I have to start..

1st day ey late ah pona asingama irukum..

Sapda vareengala?

K doesn't reply..

M-Enna kathir?

Late aaguma?

Okay then..

I ll go and eat..

She tries to move..

K stops her..

Ethana mani ku class unakku..

M-Around 10..

Time is 8.50 now...

Oru 15 minutes munnadi pogalame nu paathen..

K looks into her eyes..

Gimme ten minutes..

I'll get ready and drop u..

M's face starts showing 100000s of emotions..

Her eyes are sparkling..

She goes near him, kisses his cheeks..

I love you Kathir...

He hugs her back..
