Days passed like that.

On a fine day, On a holiday morning, Mithran went to Mithra's home and pressed the calling bell. She opened the door.

Mithra (Mami)- "enna venum ungaluku?"

Mithran (Meesai) - "koviluku ponum. nee kooda variah?"

Mithra (Mami)- "naan yaen varanum?"

Mithran (Meesai) left out a long breathe and asked, " naan koopta varamatiah? ellathukum nee sandaiku varuviah? "

Mithra (Mami)- "ipo enna sandaiku vanthutaen. yaen varanum nu thane ketaen."

Mithran (Meesai) - "Sivan koyil la lingam than vachirukangala? illa perumala mathitangala nu poi paathutu varalam vaa"

Mithra (Mami)- "apadi kooda va maathuvanga? ithuku thaniavae koyil katitudalamae", She continued the topic.

Mithran (Meesai) - "ipo vara poriah illaya mami nee?", He asked her in nervousness.

Mithra (Mami)- "illa, vara maten saga", She said teasing him more.

Mithran (Meesai) - "pch, vaa mami", He said in a soft voice withdrawing his fight mode. Adding some pleading tone to his voice.

Mithra (Mami)- "enna paa ipadi panreenga.. epothum unaku ithe velaiah pochu.. sari poo naan varen..". Now she is unable to deny and accepted his request.

Always it will be like this, He knows very well to tackle her and she can't say know to him since he is the one who cares her a lot. She need that caring. She need people around her who respect her and her kid as a soul in this selfish and judge mental world.

Mithran (Meesai) - "seekram mami"

Mithra (Mami)- "pudavai mathika venama, saga?", She is unable to understand his hurry.

Mithran (Meesai) - "ithulayae nee alaga thaan iruka mami"

Mithra (Mami)- "ethu?", She widened her eyes since he is not the person who praise the beauty.

Mithran (Meesai) - "veetuku katura pudavai mathiri illa, nalla than iruku vaa", He stressed again and hurried her.

Mithra (Mami)- "koyil ku pogum pothu apadiyae ellam poga kodathu saga. konjam iru varen"

Mithran (Meesai) - "10 mins okay vaa"

Mithra (Mami)- "ipo neenga ponathaan 10 mins la vara mudium.". He nodded and left. After 10 mins he again pressed the calling bell,

Mithra (Mami) opened the door and shouted, "perumalae.. 10 nimisham na 10 nimishathula kathava thadiduviah meesa nee? konjam porumaiah irukalam la.. inum fleets vaikala"

Mithran (Meesai) - "single fleet ae nalla thaan iruku, vaa"

Mithra (Mami)- "apadi enna avasaram ippo unaku? yean ipadi kaal la venni thanni oothina mathiri kuthira nee ippo?"

Mithran (Meesai) - "iniaku paal abishegam iruku mami. seekram vaa arambichuduvanga"

Mithra (Mami)- "oh, inaiku velli kilamaya? achacho, poo palam ellam vangalayae saga"

Mithran (Meesai)- "naan vangiten mami. nee vaa"

Mithra came out with Mithran. When she turned to locked the door, Mithran locked it with the spare key Chithra has. Mithra smiled at him. He is always like this very adamant.

Mithra (Mami) peeked inside and shouted at Chithra, "amma naan avar kooda koviluku poitu varen"

Chithra's hand came outside the window and bid bye to her. Mithra chuckled and went with him. Chithra wont reply if Nila is sleeping. Chithra will never anyone to disturb Nila's sleep.

They both reached the temple. Once they are done with the prayers, They sat in the pragaram.

Mithran (Meesai) - "unkita oru mukiamana visayam sollanum mami"

Mithra (Mami)- "sollu saga"

Mithran (Meesai) - "Thaara , naan unna manasara kadhalikuren"

Mithra (Mami) - "oh, congratulations.. Thaara yaaru, unga sonthama? ponnu photo vachurukeengala? enkita sollave illayae.."

Mithran slapped his forehead.

Mithra (Mami) - "Yaen saga, naan widow nu karanathala enkita first solama vitutiah? sari vidu athunala enna ippo. ", she said casually.

Mithran (Meesai)- "appo en amma matum yaram?". he asked with a hurt tone. Mithra turned at him with a shock.

Mithran (Meesai) - "naan Thaara nu unna thaan sonaen"

Mithra (Mami) - "naan Thara vah..", she gave it a thought and then said, "oh en name ah thaan apadi soniah nee? ... amam, ipo ethuku enaku intha peru?", She had hands in her hip and questioned.

Mithran (Meesai) - "un peru matum thaan theriutha? naan athuku apuram sonathu unaku kekalaya?"

Mithra (Mami) widened her eyes realizing everything. She started to shout, "ungaluku enna paithiyam pudichurucha? "

Mithran noted the respect that jumped in the conversation now, but acted like ignoring it.

Mithran (Meesai)- "illa unna thaan pudichuruku mami"

Mithra (Mami)- "ellam onnu thaan. ungaluku ethuku enna katikanum nu thala eluthu.. inga parunga en mela paritham vantha, office la konjam solli kodunga athu pothum. ipadi kalyanam panikalam nu ellam ninaika kodathu athu thappu."

Mithran (Meesai) - "Parthabam varama kadhal vantha enna panrathaam mami? athaium solidu"

Mithra (Mami) - "olratheenga. en mela ellam kadhal vara koodathu. naan oru amangali. vithavai. valnthu mudichava, aluthu mudichava. en kalam mudinchuruchu"

Mithran (Meesai) - "ena kalyanam panikitaa nee sumangali, thirumathi, un valkai thirumba arambichudum. nee aluga thevayae illatha padi naan pathukaren.. namma vaala inum neraiah kalam iruku"

Mithra (Mami) - "ungaluku puthi vela seiyama poiduchu, namma onum debate panala naan pesurathuku ellam neenga pesa.. ungala arivali nu office ae kondaduthu.. aana neenga ennadanna inoruthan manaiviah kita poi.. ", She said in a hurt tone, trying her best to change his decision.

Mithran (Meesai) - "niruthi Thaara. naan inoruthan manaivi kita poi pesala. en kadhali kita thaan pesaren", he shouted which make Mithra to jerk visibly.

Mithra (Mami) - "sonna purinchukonga. ithellam sari varathu. enaku kalyana valkai la istam illa", she pleaded in a soft tone, since she didn't want to anger him.

Mithran (Meesai) - "ellam sariah varum. ennoda valthu paaru unaku pudikum", he said casually. He know that Mithra will think about all his actions now.

Mithra (Mami) - "Mudiathu. intha visayathula neenga enna katayapadutha mudiathu"

Mithran (Meesai) - "aana, unakaga kaathiruka mudium"

Mithra (Mami) - "unga thalaila neengalae manna vaari potukatheenga. ithellam nadaimuraiku othu varathu. naan valtha valkaioda adayalatha inum naan sumanthukitu thaan irukaen", Inability is evident in her voice. She said in a deep voice which mirrored her pain.

Mithran (Meesai) - " Naan antha adayalatha matharen.. namma santhosama valalam ", he said in a promising tone.

Mithra (Mami) - "nila mela ulla pasathula pesareengala? Nilakaga enna kalyanam panikanum nu avasiyam illa. Nila va valaka ennala mudium. Nila ku oru uncle ah kooda neenga pasatha kodukalam". She is trying her best to find the reason for his love.

Mithran (Meesai) - "Naan un mela ulla kadhal la thaan pesaren. Nila vukaga unna kalyanam panna vendia avasiam illa"

Mithra (Mami) - "apadi enna kadhal en mela ungaluku? en udamba pudichuruka?", She mocked knowing very well about the consequences, She mentally made herself ready for that.

Mithran raised his hand to slap her. Mithra closed her eyes in fer. He sensed her fear and dropped it.

Mithran (Meesai) chuckled and said "unna mulusa pudichuruku.. unkita ellame pudichuru.. un udamba matum epadi verupaen. athaium pudichuruku"

Mithra (Mami) looked at him with confusion, shock and remained silent for a minute. She expected a slap from him or at least she thought that he will leave her abruptly but this answer is something she didn't expected. She took long breathe to compose herself.

Mithra (Mami) - " naan inorutharoda oru varusham kudumbam nadathirukaen", She told her state indirectly.

Mithran (Meesai) - "therium", he didnt mind that statement.

Mithra (Mami) - "ungaluku puriala.. nana inoruthana kalyanam panindu, thinamum avan kooda rathirila ...", she bite her lips unable to complete it.

Mithran (Meesai) - "unna kevalama pesi enna mathalam nu ninaikatha.. kalyanthoda artham theriathavan illa naan. ellam therinju thaan unna nesikaren"

Mithra understood that Mithran is well prepared for the conversation.

Mithra (Mami) - " ipo ethuku enaku valkai kodukareenga? "

Mithran (Meesai) chuckled and said, "illa, ennoda vaala koodparaen avlo thaan. un valkaila naanum iruka thaan asai paduren, un nilala kadaisi varaikum. "

Mithra (Mami) - "itha vera yarkitayathu poi solli parunga.. ungala naan valachu potutaen. mayaki kattinutaen nu thaan soluva"

Mithran (Meesai) - " namma valkaiah pathi yosi Thaara, aduthavanga enna ninaipanganu yosikatha."

His Thara affected her a lot. It shook her a little, but she is in a state to control herself.

Mithra (Mami) - "mudiathu... neenga enna samathana padutha pakatheenga.. unga mansa mathikonga". She tried to be stubborn in this.

Mithran (Meesai) - "Mudiathu Thaara, nee un manasa mathiko naan kathirukuren"

Mithra (Mami) slapped her forehead and said, "apadi oru amma ku ipadi pudivatham pudikura oru pullaiah? unga kalyanathuku Chithra amma evlo asaiah kathirukanga theiruma? ipadiya avanga asaiah kedupeenga?"

Mithran (Meesai) - "avlo akarai iruntha kalyanathuku othuko. enna ipadi valathathe appdi oru amma thaan"

Mithra (Mami) - "oruvela unga amma pola naan irukurathala enna kalyanam panikanum nu thonutha.."

Mithran (Meesai) - "irukalam, thaaiku pin thaaram thane.. unkita thane naan en amma va theda mudium. Neeyae othukita nee en amma mathiri iruka nu"

He very intelligently converted the meaning of her statement by twisting the words. She mentioned about the situation and he changed it into the character. She was amazed by his answer which mirrored his wittiness.

Mithra (Mami) - "naan etha sonna neenga etha solreenga? ungala ellam.. bagavane.. mudiathu mudiathu.. mudiathunga.. vanga polam"

Mithran (Meesai) - "mudiura varaikum kaathirupen. vaa polam.."

They both returned home without talking with each other. Mithra came home angrily like a kid who is asking for toy.

Mithra (Mami) - "amma, amma,, ammma"

Chithra mind voice- "pochu propose panitaan poliruku.. varum pothe horn adichukitae varalae. ivana pethutu naan padura paadu.. karuppa..."

Mithra (mami)- "amma unga pulla enna panarunu theriuma?"

Nila' s sleep got disturbed and it started to cry. Chithra glared at Mithra. She gave her a get caught look. Mithran came there, got Nila from Chithra and moved away. while moving away, he winked at Mithra and left.

Mithra (Mami )- "ma, unga pullaiku kolupu jasthi agiduchu, ippo enna panaru theiruma?"

Chithra- "Kulanthaiah thookitu poraan. ithuku yaen nee ipadi kuthikura"

Mithra (Mami )- "athu illa enna paathu enna panaru theiruma?"

Chithra- "enna panaan?"

Mithra (Mami )- "athu.. athu.. atha vidunga. unga pulla enna panaru theriuma?"

Chithra- "konjam inga utkaaru solren"

Mithra (Mami ) sat near to her and asked, " sollunga"

Chithra- "aalnthu sinthichu, nalla thiyanam athu than di medidation ellam panni chooli potu kooda pathuten.. sathyama avan enna panaan nu theriala, neeyae solidu kannu."

Mithra (Mami )- "kindala panreenga?", She pouted in anger

Chithra- " yaaru nana? enna paatha pavama illayadi unaku? enna nalla paaru, nadakuratha ellam kuri solrava mathiriya irukaen? neeyae solidu di. apadi enna thaan panaan un meesai?"

Mithra (Mami ) - " unga pulla enaku propose panaru koyil la vachu"

Chithra- " koyila la vacha? avan oru madayan." she slapped her forehead and then said, "nee onum kovichukatha maa.. next time vera engayachum vachu propose panna solren. kiruku paya, aalkal irukura idathula vachu panra velaiya ithu.. oru privacy venum nu thona vendam.. nee onum kavala padatha naan kekuren"

Mithra (Mami ) - "naan atha solala"

Chithra- "appo unaku okay vaa", She asked her with surprise.

Mithra (Mami ) - "amaaaaaaa..", she shouted.

Chithra- "illa illa nee sollu"

Mithra (Mami ) - "avar enna kalyanam panikuriah nu ketaru.. enna epadi kekalam?"

Chithra -" ithu enna vamba iruku? avan keta avana thane nee kekanum? enna keta enaku epadi therium? naana unna marumagala vaa nu propose panaen"

Mithra (Mami )- "appo ungaluku naan marumagala vendama ? ", Unknowingly she asked her the next second with a longingness. She is also very much shocked by the question she asked her. She automatically asked her without thinking much.

Chithra- "avana katikitalum sari katikalainalum sari, nee enaku ponnu thaan. maru maga ellam illa, maga thaan.", She cupped her cheeks and told with eyes filled with love.

Mithra was shocked by her statement and understood that she is okay with this marriage. She never expect this approval from her. She thought that Chithra will support Mithra to oppose Mithran.

Chithra kissed Mithra's forehead. A lone tear dropped from Mithra's eyes.
