Mullai came back to room after her bath! She is totally out of her mind! She can't think much of anything else!

She is being disturbed by Kathir's word......

"Neathu....naan enna sonne nu porumaiya yosichi paaru! Appo unnake nalla puriyum!"

She starts thinking and talks to herself at the mirror!

M : Enna sonnanghe? Yen Nadikenum nu kettanghele? Yaar nadikira va? Avenghela? (tears starts rolling her cheeks) Appo? Ivvalo naala enkitte sirichu....pesunathu....akkarai pathathu...ellam....nadipa????

Then another words from him strike her mind.....

"Unnevide naa tha athikama azhunthurupen!"

"Ellame unnale tha!"

"Nambeleya? Kumeresan Mama kitte venum na kellu! Avaru solvaru!"

M: Aama......avenghe nadicha? Yen avenghe le azhanum? Enna vide avanghe le athikama azhuthen nu sonnanghe? Ellame ennale nu vere sonnaghe le? Appo???? Naan....tha.....nadikiren nu sollranghela? (she cried harder)

M: Ithuku orre bathil.....avenghe sonna maari....Kumeresan Appa tha!

She wipes her tears and moves to the shelf.....The tea tumbler is still there! The memories of this morning hit her badly! Tears rolled down without her realizing it! She wiped her tears and took her mobile next to it!

She dialled PS Shop number!

PS Phone: Hello! Yaaru?

Ku: Puriyithunghe! Naan paarthukuren!

Both disconnects the call! 

Mullai goes out of the room and join the ladies at the hall! 

Kumeresan Mama pretended like nothing happened and starts his works!

At PS House!

Me: Ada vaange Mullai! Ivanghe ippothan ellam sollithu irunthange! Ethum nenaichu manase kolapikathinge! Athu verum kanavu thanne...ellam seri aagidum!

M: Aama Nghe! Seriya aagidum tha! Cheri neenge rendu perum sapthingela?

M: Aiyooo sorry Ka! Sorry Meena! Ennale....tha...! Neenge sapthuruke vendiyathu thanne?

Me: Ada ennanghe neenge? (smiles) Nambe 3 perum eppo thani thaniya sapthurukom?

D: (smiles) Athane! Vaange!

All 3 went to have their breakfast! Mullai is slightly happy as she had an inner feeling that this issue can be solved out today!

But still his words strike her sometimes and she loses her focus! These co-sisters tend to see her being disturbed and they thought it could be about the nightmare and they manage to do their best to bring her back to reality with their mokke jokes! Mullai is little OK now!

At PS Shop!

Kathir and Jeeva comes out from the store inside! Kathir is being fake again here! He is trying his best to be normal with his fake smiles and being the casual working Kathir!

Je: Pesiyacha Mama? Rombe nerama pesuninghela? Yaaru? Enna venuma?

K: Athane! Naan peseva? Naan list edukevaa nu ketta..... Avare paarthukuren nu...ennaiye varathitharu Neh! (sarcastically) Yaar Mama? Girlfriend ah? (all laugh)

Ku: Pesame velaiye paarunghe ellam! Ithe...naane....paarthukuren!

Je: Paarda! Ennamo seri illai Mama!

(Kathir and Jeeva laughed – Moorthy who went out came in with Saravana who was walking by after delivery)

Je: Renduperum onna vanthingela? Nallatha pochi!

Mo: Yenna daa? Ippedi sirikiringhe renduperum? (turned towards Mama) Mama....valakam pole ungele kalaikiranunghela ivanunghe?

S: Yennaiye vithuthu....neenge mathum kalaichinghela Neh? Ithu enna nyayam?

Mo: Ada! Yenna Saravana? Neeyuma? (all 3 laughed)

Ku: Ada aama Moorthy! Nee illana ippedithan! Ivange 3 perum sernthu.....ennaiye nalla othuvanunghe! (all laughed) Nallavele nee vanthe! Ponge daaa! Ellam poiyi velaiye paarunghe!

K: Paarthiya Neh? Pothukudukurathe! Mama.....Irunghe ungele apparom kavanichikiren!

Mo: Ada yen daa? (all laughed) Ponge....velaiye paarunge ellam!

All went in to do their works! Kathir is trying his best to be normal!

But sometimes.....he felt being disturbed by whatever happened yesterday and felt sad for how Mullai felt clueless today!

Mullai's words disturbing him....He starts thinking!

"Ennaku....enna nu yosike kudu neenge time eh kudukele! Pesavum vaipe eh kudukele ye! Ennaiye evvolo kaiyapadithithinge theriyuma?"

K (mindvoice): Ada aama le! Avale pesive videle....naa! Enna nu ketturukenumo?

"Unge kannule....naan....anthe valiye....appo paarthen Nghe! Yen Nghe appedilam neathu nadanthukithinge? Ippedi ungeleyum kasthapadithikithu...ennaiyum kasthapaduthenuma?"

K (mindvoice): Anthe kasthathuleyum....en mele ivvalo akkaraiya irukale? (tears rolled down his cheeks without him realizing it)

K (mindvoice): Athu eppadi Mulla? Aana......Ithu....unmaiya? Illai... Ithuvum nadippa???

"Ellame....ellame.....neenge tha panninghe!"

K (mindvoice): Naa enna dii panne? Nee thane...ellame....nee thanne panne? Aana...yen unnaku athu theriya maathu? Illai.....naan tha ethum thappa...... (caress his chest with his palm)

K (mindvoice): Inniki raathiriye.....ithe pesidanum! Ennale ippedi iruke mudiyale Mulla! (he is crying inwardly)

Kumeresan Mama saw this change in Kathir! He could relate Mullai's talk on phone with Kathir's reactions and behaviours change in the Shop! So he tend to be with him always and cheering him up always and make him happy! Kathir tend to be slightly OK after some time!

After some time......

The men in the Shop were little relaxing after some hectic works in the morning! Even the ladies have done their cooking for lunch and have started to relax themselves at the hall!

Its about 11.45am!

At PS Shop!

K: Mama? Enna pandringe?

Ku: Paartha therleya daa? Samanlam eduthu veichithu iruken! Mothe call pannaghe le...avengheluku! 12 maniku venum nu sonnanghe! Athan!

Mo: Neenge paarthu poithu vaange!

Kathir and Kumeresan Mama left the shop on his bike!

At PS House!

M: Akka!

D: Sollu Mulla!

M: Kalaile...en friend ennaku call panna! Rombe naal kalichu...ave inniki namme ooruku vanthurukalama! Naan poiyi avale paarthuthu varen!

Me: Inthe veyil le poge poringhela? Nadantha?

M: Aama Meena! Nadanthu tha! Pakkam tha....Prachanai illai! Naan paarthukuren! Naan poiyi ready aithu varen!

Mullai gets up from there and went to refresh herself! She then get ready and comes out of her room and bid goodbye to the ladies!

Me: Konjam wait pannunghe Mulla! Thoo varen!

Meena gets up from there and goes to her room – she came back with something in her hand.

Me: Inthange! Kodai! Rombe veyil ah iruku! (Mullai and Dhanam felt so touched by this gesture) Ennanghe? (smiles) Paarthu poithu vaange!

M: Thanks Meena! Cheri...naan varen! Varen Ka!

D: Paarthu Mulla!

As Mullai steps out of the house....Jeeva comes in for lunch!

Je: Ada! Mulla? Enge Pa? Innerathule...inthe veyil le?

M: Athu....Mama! En friend paarke poren Mama! Pakkam tha....poithu vanthuruven! Meena vere kodailam kuduthuvithange! Naan paarthukuren! Neenge ulle poiyi sapdunge!

Je: Paarda! Meena kodailam kuduthacha? (laugh) Athu seri! Paarthu Pa!

M: Cheri Mama! Naan varen!

Mullai walked with Meena's umbrella and Jeeva goes inside the house for lunch!

Meanwhile, Kathir and Mama on bike!

K: Enge Mama pogenum? Onnume sollame varinghe?

Ku: Nee po! Anthe....kovil kitte po!

K: Kovil kitteya? Avenghe veethule kudukeleya?

Ku: (smiles) Ada po daa! Vandiya othu pesame! (Both laughed)

They reached the kovil! They parked the bike!

 Then, Kathir sat down at the medai there! Mama was restlessly! He was walking here and there!

K: Enge Mama? Yaarume kaanom? Neenge enna ippedi kuttipothe punnai maari nadanthuthe irukinghe? Vanthu okkarunghe!

Ku: Poru daa! Varuvange! Iru varen!

Kathir was sitting at the opposite side admiring the nature there!

Suddenly.....Mullai comes from behind him! Mama saw her! They talked in signals! 

Mullai saw Kathir sitting there! Mama silently went and sat next to Kathir – pretended like he didn't see Mullai! 

She then came closer to them! She stands infront of them! 

Kathir was shocked! He stood up in shock!
