Disclaimer: Hi lovely sweethearts,

Big thanks to all the sweethearts who had taken their time in reading and reviewing my story...

Nethi kudutha ade disclaimer dan..

The upcoming part is not for any weak hearted, or pregnant women or people with underlying condition or die hard KM fans...because as all of you have realised this is a

                                       K     M story

Many of you might be having a doubt like..didnt the preface give an idea about a happy lovey dovey story....

The answer is a big "NO"...

The preface is written in such a way that if you read it with a clear happy mind, it is indicative of a happily ever after...Now, that all of you are aware with the jist of story line, i think if you read the "Preface" now, many of you will find the hidden meaning, twisted words, careful choice of line and tense....

Get set...Here we go to Todays part.....

பரபரப்பா ஒரு ஊரு பெங்களூரு

Bangalore, a city of modern building, IT companies, spacious malls, city of night life and traffic signals...Banaglore is an emotion, which kindles many persons desire especially after watching our very own "Bangalore days" movie.

In the posh area of Jalahalli near the airport road, there stood two tall apartment complex with all the amenities, a squash court, a swimming pool, fully equipped gym. In the 5th storey in the A complex, was the sweet house named "Koodu".

Inside "Koodu", authentic Suprabadam was being played through the home theatre and the smog of agarbathi, camphor surrounded the 3BHK rented house...

The aromatic smell of ghee infused Pongal and filter coffee was floating around. On the sofa, sat an elderly man with glasses reading the so called Bangalore's Tamizh newspaper. His wife was calling out for their daughter to wake up from beauty sleep....

Women voice: ey...mullaiiiii.......Mullllaiiiiii.....endiri di...mani 8 aagudu.....edo meeting iruku nu soniye di....

Male voice: Ey.....Parvathy.....pulla ambutu vela pani.....vidiya kalaila dane thoongichu....innum konjam neram thoongatum....yen di ezhupura......

Parvathy: Enna manushano....ava nethi sonna la 10 mani ku edo meeting iruku nu....Inda ooru traffic la ava ipo pona dane seri aa irukum...

Murugan: aama adum seri dan...illati pulla veena vandi seekaram otitu pogum...nee ezhupu ma....

And Parvathy stepped into her sweet daughters room, and shaked her out of the sweet slumber....

Par: mullaii....ma mullai.....8 aachu da...endiri meeting iruku la.....erkanave Maplai kooptaru rendu vaati...nee endrichitiya nu...avaru office poitaru kalailaye edo client meeting iruku nu....

Endiri ma.....

And a sweet hand peeked out of the duvet...and she sat with sleepy eyes and a cute pout...

Par: paaru kanu ellam ulla poiruku...eduku ma ivalo vela pakuraa....

Mul: maa....idu anda pudu project ma...adun innayoda mudinjidum.....apram 3 days full rest dan....nala thoongi endirikuren poduma....

And she rushed into her bathroom to get ready for her day...

Par: seri di...nee ready ayitu va....amma tea apram sapadu eduthu vekuren.....

Mul: ma....sapadu venam ma..late ayidum....naan client meet ku apram avungaloda saptukaren.....coffee matum podum...en laptop konjam charge potru ma.....

Par: seri di....

And Mullai closed the door of washroom and parvathy left to kitchen.....to do her daily routine....after putting her daughters laptop and phone on charge.....as she knew her daughter phone won't have any charge as usual...

Par: enga....vaanga vandu sapdunga...mathra poda venama ....

Mur: pulla vandidatum sendu sapdalam la...

Par: ava edo clients oda saptukralam.....coffee matum podum ngra...enna sola......innum chinna pulla nu nenapu unga ponuku....

30 vayasachu.....ipdi coffee matum saptu ennathuku aavaradu......enna sola....yaara sola....

Mullai who had come ready in a semi formal dress, heard her normal type of suprabadham from her mother, that she is not taking care of herself, not sleeping properly, is working more than necessary. That's the kind of suprabadham she is being used to for the past few years...

Mulla: ma...un suprabadhatha arambichitiya......

And a cute bark followed, indicating the affirmation of mullai words.... Mullai giggled hearing rabbits bark....There stood the very cute Rabbit, pet of this house for the past 3 years..

Par: adhane ....ungala edum solida koodadhu naano maplai oh rendu perum vandiruvanga....oru manushan oru naaikutty....indicating Mr Ammadi mulllai Murugan and their favorite pet..Rabbit.....

Muru: ada vidu parvathy veena nama pullai um.....nama rabbit aayum thitikitu....kalaila velaiku pora ponna thitina nala va iruku...pullaiku edo meeting vera iruku la...

Par: adane enna da oru support vandidichu innnonu varalaye nu pathen...

Mul: veena appa apram rabbit aa thitama enaku en coffee kudu ma...naan kudichitu kelambaren...anga avan vera wait panitu irupan ma..

And she tries finishing her coffee in a jiffy..

Mur: ammadi...medhuva ma....ena idu...chinna pulla madiri....

Mul: time illa pa.....naan kelambaren...erkanave peak hour start ayidichu ingatha traffic vera ungaluku theriyum la....

And she rushed out in her Red Prado car, as usual she got into the so called famous "Bangalore Traffic", and was fussing about the time, traffic, being late all the while hearing the melody songs being played in her car through her USB.

She was humming the latest peppy number from superstar movie, "Naan dan da inimel vandu ninna Darbar" song.......thinking about her meeting, when she heard her ringtone...

Mul: ayayooo....late ayidichu nu avan thita koopdarano and she looks at the caller ID only to be pleasantly surprised....It was her best friend from childhood, " her chuddy buddy Nithya" in the Bangalorian trend, she picks the call with a sweet smile on her lips...

Nithya: Hi di...

Mul: Hi Nithya...epdi di iruka...veetla lan epdi irukanga...un husband ..kozhandainga ellam...

Nit: ellarum nala irukom di...

Mul: enna adisayama phone paniruka...epovum papa aa pathukaruduke time seriya iruku nu dane soluva...

Nit: aaman di....coimbatore la na...naan matum dane ...time apdiye podium...naan ipo inga amma veetuku vanden...adan time kedaichidu...

Apram Kunnakudi ku vandadum ennaku, apdiye nama pazhaya kaalam nyabagthuku vandidichu...adan....seri unna kooptu pesalam nu......

Mul: adu seri.....adan vishayama......nithya nee busy illati naan saindharam koopdava...ipo offce poitu iruken...

Nithya: aan seri di...sayndaram pesalam....Bangalore traffic dan ellarukum therinja kadhai aache....nee saindharam koopdu...apram, anna...veetla irukira elathayum ketadha solu...seriya ...naan saindharam koopdaren...

Mul: ey...naane veetuku poi koopdaren seri aa bye......

Talking with nithya and her mention about Kunnakudi did bring back some sore memories of her life, the chapters forgotten.....the chapters she didn't want to revisit...but, right now she had some better productive work to be taken care of....and continued her driving to reach her office at Yeshwanthpur.

She parked her car infront of her multistoreyed glass building,  and took her laptop bag and rushed into the 10th storey of her building and swiped her card and went to her usual cabin and opened her Apple Macbook and was going through the last minute glance of her work.

While she was busy in her Macbook, a manly hand hugged her sideways by her shoulder...with a voice calling out, "Mullai", she turned around only to come face to face with her supporter for almost a decade, "Kavin". They had met as a students in ICAT college, Chennai almost a decade back when they were in early 20s...

Kavin: sorry ma...morning pick panamudila..client meeting onnu prepone panitanga...adan athai kita phone pani sonen...

Mul: viduriya adelam onnum problem ila....nee breakfast saptiya.....

Kav: illa ma...inime dan...nee saptiya....

Mul: illa naanum apdiye vanten...late ayidumo nu...aana un atha kita naan inga client oda saptukaren nu sonen...

Kav: en ma ipdi ...seri vaa nama seekaram oru breakfast sapdalam epdiyum meeting start aaga time iruku ..

And they go to canteen...and order two plates of " Neerdosa" and two coffee and sit in their usual place on the couch near the TT court..

Mul: sola maranten paru....naan morning vara pa..nithya koopta..unna ketadha vera sola sonna...

Kav: epdi iruka..ava...epdi payan kita irundu time kedaichidu avaluku...

Mul: ava kunnakudi la irukalam.....

Kav: ohh....and looks at Mullai face to see if she has any discomfort, after all who better than him knew about all the humilitations she had to face there.

Kav: nee okey dane mullai...

Mul: enaku enna....am perfectly fine.....jasthi pesa mudila saindharam nama flat ku poitu oru video call pani pesuvom...ennaya remind panu naan maranden na....

Kavin: kavalaya vidu...naan iruken la ma....seri......ellam ready aa....

Mullai: adehla nethu night eh ready paiyachu....naan unaku katama apdiye thoongiten la....sorry.....with her adorable pout.....

Kavin: aan...panradhelam panitu papa madiri face aa vachiko...ungala naan epdi dan samalikareno di.....

Mullai winks at him....

Kavin: kannadichadu podum...idu nama flat illa....kelambu...meeting ku time aaga pogudu.....

And kavin pays and they start to her office...

Mul: kavin...oru derava nee vandu project aa pathita naa enaku konjam 100 percent confidence vandirum...

Kavin: adelam pakamaye solalam.....nee pana perfect aa dan irukum nu...still unaku confidence varum naa ...naan pathitu comment solren....

and they enter her office,

Colleague 1: Mullai Kavin....u both are here...the moment I saw ur empty cabins, I thought you guys would be together only....

The clients have come and are seated in the Meeting room...

Once you are ready, we can go ahead ...

Mul: Am just coming....

Kav: seri ma...nee poi client ku present panu...naan pakalatiyum adu sooper aa dan irukum...All the Best ma...and side hugs her and mullai goes to the meeting room...

In meeting room,

Mul: Good morning,

I will project our work....we have taken into consideration of all your inputs...Hopefully, you will be satisfied with the output..If not, we can work again on it ..

And the room becomes dark and the projector opens and an amazing "Advertisement" plays....

Yes, Mullai was an Advertising Designer, in Bangalore for the past 8 years.

And once the ad ends, the light turns on and the clients were pretty much impressed with her hardwork...

Client: Perfect, there are only a few alterations to be made....otherwise, I have no comments...

Mul: Sounds cool...I will do the necessary changes and can share the final output to you...and she leaves the cabin...to find Kavin waiting for her just like how he has been doing it for the past years....

Kavin: ellam okey dane....

Mul: konjam chinna changes ...vera edum illa..

Kavin: Cool ...nee poi anda corrections panu....

And they continue their respective work...

At around 2pm,

Kav: mullai....lunch ku polama...lunch mudichitu vandu panu....

Mul: innum oru 10 min dan....adoda over...

Kav: sooper...enoda velayum mudinjidu ....seri nama apo veetla poi sapdalam....naan athai ku phone pani solren....nama sapda varoom nu.......

Mul: aan...idu oru nala idea....

And Kavin calls from his phone ...

Kavin: hello mama......naan dan...

Mur: aan solunga maplai.....

Kav: mama...saptingala.....athai illaya.....rest edukarangala.....

Mu: sapadu laan achu maple, parvathy do pathram kazhivitu iruka enna achu...

Kav: illa mama....enga vela mudinjidu adan....veetla vandu lunch sapdalam nu...naanga oru 30 nimishatula varoom....athai aa anda vathal apram pachadi pana soliduringala....ey mullai unaku edum venuma ...

Mullai: mmmhmmmm...venam...iduve podum....

Mur: ada ivalo dana...naan solidaren...apo seri mapla phone aa vachidaren......

Mullai: done....naan inda pendrive aa chief ku kuduthutu varen....

Kav:ey car key kudu...unaku car venum nu naan cab la vanden ma....

Mullai hands over the key and goes to her chief room...Kavin goes to the car parking and takes the key and Mullai also follows him after handing over the chief....and she joins Kavin in the car...and they leave to their flat....

On the way, Mullai sits in the copassenger seat and they happily go to house...all ready to enjoy their mini 3 day vacation...and reach their apartment...

On seeing them walking together,

Neighbour anty 1 : Achi Jodi hai na....dono ki....(Both of them look very good together right)

Neighbour anty 2: arey vo donom Jodi nahi hai....is ladki ki pati na shadi ke kuch mahine baad hi guzar gaya.....(they both are not a couple....this girls husband passed away few months after her wedding)....ye pehale Malaysia me thi...uske pathi ke marne ke baadh idar aa gayi (she was in Malaysia, after her husband death, she left the country and came here)...

Neighbour 1: acha aapse kisne kaha.....mein ithne din ye soch rahi thi ki dono pathi pathni hai..(Oh really....who told you all this.....all these days I thought they both are husband and wife)

Neighbour 2: vo ladki ne hi boli thi....padi pyari ladki hai...bus uski naseeb teek nahi hai tho hum kya Karen...vo ladka bi vahi ghar mein rehatha hai...uske sabse ache dost bhi hai aur PG ki tharah hi reh haraha hai...(She only told..she is a very nice girl....just that her fate wasn't good...he is her best friend and stays in the same house as a PG)

Neighbour 1: chalo chalthe hain....bache aa jayenge....(lets go....kids might come)..

(Ada Bangalore la kannada pesaravangala vida..hindi pesaravanga jasthi nu solraddhu dan oru unmai...isn't it banglorians)

Kavin rings the bell and parvathy opens the door...

Par: vaanga maplai....vaa di mullai....meeting lan epdi pochu...

Kav: adelam sooper aa pochu.....naan poi fresh agitu varen....

Kavin nods his head and goes to his washroom, freshens up.....and he comes out and sees a nice photo frame ....its a double photoframe....

Kavin takes the photo frame and caresses it.....and there is one common man standing in both the pic...In one pic, it was kavin and Rio, whereas in another frame, it was Mullai and Rio...

Kavin: machan.........unna romba miss panrom da....naanga ellarum.....mullai veliya solradu illa....avalo dan......Pavam da ava......ava vaazhkai la matum yen da ipdi nadakanumo.......with teary eyes....

Ava aana strong aa iruka da.......enala dan avala pakum bodu.......

Mullai knocks on door and comes inside....

Mullai: kavin...vaa da sapdalam.....enna panra.....

And sees him standing with photoframe with Rio...

Mullai becomes teary eyed...

Mullai: vaa kavin....pasikudu and wipes her eyes and goes to have their lunch...Kavin also follows her...
