Suddenly Mama........

Both KM came closer to him and hold his hand together.....

Then, realizing their hands touched, both moved back a little.

Kumeresan Mama goes and sits on the medai...waiting them to start talking! 

Kathir and Mullai sees each other longingly! 

Both wanted to clear it now too......

But felt more guilty in bringing up Kumeresan Mama into this! 

But still....only he has the answers for all their kolapams! 

They eye talked and.......

They decided to sort this out there itself with him as the Jugde!
