வண்டு வரா பூக்கள் அது பூக்கள் இல்லை
ஆதி வாசி ஆணும் பெண்ணும் வெட்கபடவில்லை

Two pairs of tiny eyes twinkled with anticipation on how these two friends were related...

How did their parents knew each other?

Frankly speaking,

She didn't have the answer to this simple question....

Who are they?

To her,

This was the family she had dreamt to live in....her major part of the life....

This was the family that had rejected her mercilessly twice....

This was her family....

This was not her family....

Had she forgiven them?

Yes.....

If not for them, RIO wouldn't have made an entry into her life....

Had she forgot what they did?

Noooo..

She didn't forget she couldn't forget...

Its not like she didn't try....

She did...

With all her might...she tried forgetting the past when she forgave them...

But it was easier said, than done....

Does she carry the scar?

Yes...

She carries the scar..

Looking ahead at these faces, she finds remorse and guilt...

But any scar from the past no....

She carries scar, so did she carry grudge?

Noooo

Who was she to carry grudge...

It was their fault ....accepted....

But it was not only their fault....

To her conscience, to certain extent even she is at fault....

She should have enquired instead of assuming....

So, she is equally at fault....

No matter Rio had tried convincing her it wasn't hers...

Her mind ...wasn't ready to accept it.....

Will she show the non existent grudge to the next generation....?

Nooooo.....

That is not her....

That is not Mullai....

But,

Is it the same on her opposite side?

She wasn't sure....

"Ammmaa.....enna ma edum sola matikra?" enquired her baby doll...She had never seen her mom like this...

Her mom always gave her what she want...

Be it an answer or a gift...

So, what is stopping her mother....

Her tiny brain tried finding out....but before she could rack her tiny brain of 8 years, the "thadi uncle" asked her mother a question regarding her well being...

"Epdi iruka mulla" he asked with a smile.....

"Wooahhh, was that smile....like really....that too from the ever sidumoonji kathiru....well she got to be dreaming.....this shit doesn't happen in real life....can never happen in reality" her mind knocked some sense into her....

Seeing a mum mullai...

"maaa....uncle un kita kekuranga la...yen answer pana matingra....bad habit" she flared her tiny nose....

Mullai looked at the adorable piece of creation she had made flaring her tiny nose at her mom...explaining how she was portraying bad habit....she needed a whack she mentally noted and pinched her button nose....the one same like her....

She looked straight to see Kathir looking at her with the same smile...

"Appa...idu kanavu illa polaye " she mumbled....

"Nala iruken kathir....nee epdi iruka.....glancing at everyone she asked to nobody in general.....epdi irukinga ellarum?" and gave a smile...fearing her tiny version.....lest she start with another round of bad habits....

All nodded their head in affirmative...

"What next" question prevailed in everybody's mind...

But its true when people say..

"Children are incarnation of God"...they can solve any issue in a minute or create one in a second....

In her case, her child had brought trouble home in the name of friendship......and its in her hand now to handle it...

Seeing her hesitation and the kids question, the elders couldnt keep quiet...

Parvathy, the shrewd answered..keeping her anger at bay...for once she thought only about her grand daughter....

She knows this family has never done anything good for them...

Her kids heart was broken by the very same people...But, whats the use of passing it on to the next generation...

The odds of the family meeting again is almost negligible...So, whats the use of ending the kids meet sour.....

So, she broke the truth.....that these both were second cousins......

"Kyra kutty...inda papa....kayal unaku thangachi ma"...

All the eyes in the family popped out....

It was not the answer that made the change it was the person who told it...

Never ever even in their dreams did they think......

Parvathy keeping her anger away will accept such a truth....

The quote

"Time changes, people change, situation change, relationship change.

The only thing constant is change"

she had read somewhere in her life made sense now...Her mom was now a grand mom...the anger she had as a mom did vanish as a grand mom....

"Matram ondre maradhadhu"...The famous tagline of his favorite hero Kamal Hassan made total sense now...

It was the same matram/ change that made his venemous anty accept that the kids were cousins...

If Kayal was happy knowing kyra was her akka...

Kyra's happiness knew no bounds.....

She had a sister....a sister like all others in her class....in her friend circle.....

She hugged Kayal happily...with a huge smile....

For Kayal, having a big sister made an impact but not one as huge as Kyra...

She already had an elder brother and she is going to have an younger brother or sister in few months....

She was happy to have an elder sister.....especially her friend....and she hugged Kyra back happily....kissing on her cheeks....and she ran away...

Kyra smile wavered seeing this...but it doubled up seeing Kayal coming with an elder guy....

"Kyra akka....idhu aadhi anna........aadhi anna.....idhu kyra....."introduced Kayal the girl she was...

Kyra being a born charmer she was ...had taken less than a minute to make aadhi her company as well...

The family seeing the kids....who had nothing to do with the nasty past mingling with each other....

Kyra :vaanga ulla poi veladalam.....kyra dragged Aadhi and kayal with her....She was too much happy...

Till today, she had no one to call as her siblings....no extended family....it was only them 5 and now all of a sudden....she had an elder brother and an elder sister...and a big family....

She dragged everyone inside....

"Vaanga uncle..........vaanga anty....vanga paati....vaanga anna....." she invited all of them inside....but none had the courage to enter the house....

Seeing all elders standing rooted to their place.....and her baby's face falling...

Mullai "adhan ava koopdara la....vaanga ulla.....ellarum yen veliya nikuringa......vaanga athai......vaa kathiru.....vaa kanna.....ulla vaanga meena.......ipdi pregnant aa irukurapo jasthi nika koodadhula....."

Her showing care towards Meena was a big blow to PS family....despite all the wrong doings of the family...

To the very same girl....who had supposedly snatched her life....

"Vaanga ellarum ulla....vaanga ka.....vaanga mapilla" murugan said to no one in particular...

All of them came inside with the house with full of hesitations.....

Mullai went inside her room and changed into a comfortable pair of night dress.....track pants and loose tops....

Meanwhile, Parvathy made tea for everyone and served them...

All the elders sat but with their mind on their kids.....

All had numerous questions to talk....to ask........

"Maama......adu naan...."started Jeeva....

"Pazhasa pesa vename....edume ada pathi pesa vename" came a sharp cut voice.......of a female.......

Seeing her mom's sharp voice...Kyra looked at her ....Mullai smiled to her.....and with the same smile voiced out.....

"Bangalore enna vishayama vandinga"...she asked

"Kannan ku ponnu paka vandom".....said Harshu with a smile....

Kanna's marriage....mullai smiled within herself.....Time did fly away.....

"Aama...unga pakathu veetu ponnu....Anu dhan" added Meena.....with a small smile....

"Romba nala ponnu....gala gala nu pesuva" replied Murugan......

All sat in silence now.....just giving glance to their kids....

The hurt, worries and the past cannot be forgotten in a day....

but they wanted to put it behind for their kids....

Lak: vela pakiriya mulla?

Mullai: aaman atha....advertising designer...

Harshu: Wow.... cool job....sooper la mama.....she asked kathir...

Kathir nodded his head...happy for her...

Harshu: naan kooda fashion designer....next year boutique start pana poren...Karaikudi la....

Mullai smiled at her enemy's wife....she looked too sweet a girl for an angry man like him...but who was she to comment on it.....

Mullai: wow....sooper....

Harshu: naanga boutique start panadum.......ungaluku oru gift varum.....okey la mama....she asked kathir...

Kathir: nee sonna panidalam....

"Wow...paravala,....ivan kooda manushan madiri pesa arambichitan" thought mullai.....

Mur: apram maplai...kada lan epdi pogudu...

Kanna: kadai ku enna mama....ipo 4 kada iruku.....innoru sooper market ipo building la iruku......

With nothing to talk and discuss in the present...with the past not wanting to be discussed...

Tension was rising in the air....thick enough to cut with a knife....

Time was almost 8pm, two hours had passed with all of them sitting in silence...

Kathir noticed the time and decided to make the move....

Kathir: seri kelambalama....time aachu....

All nodded....

Kathir: kayal kutty vanga kelambalam....akka ku bye solunga....

Kayal: paa...venam pa.....inaiku ingaye irukene.....

All people's mind blew away with this....

Only they knew how hard it was...the past 2 hours.....

Kyra: aaman uncle....nalaiku neenga ooruku poiduvig la....kayal um anna um inaiku ingaye irukatume....

The tiny heart wanted all the momenst she could gather with her siblings before they left to their native...

None knew what to talk....

Kyra: amma,....please ma...one day dane.....uncle okey solunga uncle....naan ungala ini thadi uncle nu koopda maten......

Kayal: aaman pa.....please pa......one day pa....

Harshu: kutty ma......sonna kelu da....

She stuck to kathir....she knew he can never say a no to her....

Harshu looked at him...

The whole family stood staring at him...knowing how he can never say a no to her....

Kathir: kayal.....naan sonna keka matiya da....

Kayal : please pa...she asked with glistened eyes...

Well, now he was a gone case...

He could never tell a no to his baby...now she pleading with tears.....How could he tell a no....Also, there was this tiny one promising how she wont tease him as thadi uncle anymore......all they wanted was some time to be with each other....

Kathir looked towards his uncle family....not knowing how to respond.....

Mul: paravala kathiru....irukatum........enaku endha prechanai um illa....she let out a tiny smile....

Kathir: okey ...one day dan.....

While his baby pulled his hands and pecked his thadi filled cheeks...the other firecraker....did bring her lips to kiss his cheek but seeing the blackness ...thadi she settled with pecking on his nose....

Gosh, this tiny firecracker is so cute.....and he smiled....

Harshu: mama ava thaniya epdi inga irupa?

Meena: aaman kathir....ava inga thaniya epdi...

Kath: aadhi irukan la....

Jeeva: dei avanum chinna payan thane da....onnu panlam...kanna nikatum.....

On hearing this,

Kayal: paaa....nee iru pa...she came back to him....with another request.....and the puppy face ....

Harshu: naan inga iruken da...papa....

Kayal: vename.....please pa...nee iru.....please please......

mur: adhan pulla aasa paduthe....neenga inga thangikonga.....

Kathir had no option other than staying there for the night...and all others decided to take their departure....

Murugan mentioned about having dinner.....but then the idea was dismissed by the PS family....they didnt want to cause any additional burden to any of them....

Harshu: mama...pathu irunga.....saapdunga okey va?

Kathir smiled and nodded his head and PS family left with the idea of coming back tomorrow after vacating the room...on their way back to home....

All planned and discussed they left, asking Kayal, kathir and aadhi to be ready by 10...

Kannan was supposed to drive back and get the change of clothes for the night....

Dinner was a silent affair for the elders at around 9pm....for the youngsters it was fun.....

Aadhi and kayal had a gala time ....with kyra and

After dinner, kathir had taken kyra kayal and aadhi to the play area...rabbit had tagged along with kyra....

The main reason was he didn't want to stay and bring back some bad memories...or any unwanted memories....

And the easy option were the kids and the play area.....

At around 10.30, kathir and the kids winded up the game and came upstairs.....to see they had set the room up....

The guest room was shown to kathir....and aadhithya while kayal and kyra was to sleep with mulali....

Kyra: maa....no no....inaiku naan kayal aadhi same room...

En friends madiri naanum kids night veka porom....

Kayal: kids night na enna ka??...

Kyra: nama 3 perum matum thaniya jolly aa irukalam.....

Kayal: sooper ka......

Mullai had to give in to their wish and so she showed Kevin's rooms door for the kids....

Kathir settled in guest room with kids in kavins room...and mullai in hers ....

Till 12, there was kids room door being open.....and sound beinh heard.....

Kathir's room which was right next to the kids room...he laid awake in his room.....new place wasnt giving him any sleep...

At around 1am, he heard some noise and thinking it was the kids...

He got up from his bed with sole intention of sushing them to sleep....only to see it was heavily raining.....

He came out only to see the kids room light off...he entered only to see aadhi in the middle being hugged by kura and kayal....

Rabbit had settled on the carpet below the bed....

He closed the door and came out to hear the sound again....

It was from the room adjacent to the kids.....If he is right...it is mullai's room...

Enna satham idu?

Poi papoma??

Innerathula ipdi ava room ku porahdu thapu dane?

But again another sound he heard...

Kathir: kadhava thati kepom...edum prechanai na??

He was about to knock the door when he realized the room was not locked.....

Mullai had thought what if Kyra wanted to sleep with her in the middle of the night and had kept the door open.....

He opened the door and saw that her bed was empty.....he heard the sound again.....it was the window in her room being hit against one another in the heavy breeze and rain.....and he could also see drizzle wetting the floor in the room....

Jannal kooda sathama inda mazhai la enga pona??

His eyes scanned the room for her presence only to see mullai standing in rain getting drenched ...

She resembled a mannequin in his eyes now.....her wet dress clinging to her body was giving him feelings....

Feelings which weren't alien to him....but feelings which at this moment in this present situation could end up in chaos ....

Mullai hadn't realized his presence.....she was letting herself free in the rain....

Rain was her companion always....be it happiness or sorrow if shared with rain....

Will always double....

Was her belief....

But she didn't know rain will let her do blunder in her life....

He wanted to close the door and walk back to his room....all the cells in his body begged him to move back to room...

His conscience was warning him against going towards her...

He had closed the door but from his inside....she was in her own world not knowing anything coming her way....

His legs followed the path of their own ignited by his desire.....

He is sure she is going to slap him....his mind alerted....

May be that will set him back on track .....he believed.........his mind chided....

Her white drenched dress with purple padded bandeau was clearly visible through her clinging clothing.... was arousing him beyond limits....

Hearing his footsteps on the water filled terrace ...she turned around .....

All she saw was a man aroused.....

She was not a woman who knew nothing....

She was well known about men and desire....

She can find a lust filled eyes even in darkness...

Anticipating a slap, he kept his hand on her waist pulling her towards him....

She fell on to him....

She kept her hand on his chest wanting to push him away.....

Before she could push him....she felt his lips on hers.....sucking her lips.....

She didnt know what got into her.....to respond with equal passion.....

Her mind said a noo....

Her conscience said a nooo....

But the desire inside her said an yes.....

She kissed him back like a thirsty man in the desert shown an oasis.....

He had lifted her effortlessly....his body was used to weights......she felt nothing more than a soft toy in his arms ..

Next she knew was she on her bed with his wet body plastered over hers ....

He looked a man possessed and she wanting to be devoured....

Somewhere along the lines their wet dresses added on a pile leaving their wet bodies igniting each other....

He knew how to pleasure a woman.....

He could do it with ease.....

She knew what she wanted.....from him....at this moment....

His fingers were on the task of igniting her....

Arousing her....

He was teasing her with his fingers...fingering her....

Her lustrous cries were giving him pleasure....

She came apart in his fingers....

Before she could gather her normal breaths...he had filled her with himself....

They were both lost in bodily pleasure....forgetting their respective family....

Forgetting their morale along the path of desire.....

Both were committed in their life...

Settled in their life...

This moment could cause a setback...

They were playing with the trust of the family....

But nothing made sense now...

This moment.....

All they cared in that bed were themselves....

They wanted this moment.....

For themselves..

They didnt care about the aftermath which could destroy them....

Which would come back to cut off the tree from its roots....
