Mullai's home was slightly subdued with the four feeling a little dull as their extended family set off after the all the marriage damakka...
All of a sudden, all the excitement and happiness seem to shoot down making the moment wearisome...

Trying to ignore the nagging feel, All four as a team cleaned up the house post the grand feast...
Initially Murugan nor parvathi didnt accept for kathir's offer to help...

P : aiyo mapillai... neenga poi ithelam panitu... naanga paathukarom...

Mu : aama mapilla... inga onum perusa velai illaa... neenga poi oyivu edunga... ammadi kuttitu poma...

M : illaa paa.. athula yena iruku.. yellarum senthu panuvome...

Mu : ada yena ponnu ma nee... mapillaiku asathiya irukum...ne kutitu po...

K : enna vida rendu madangu vayasu jhasthi neenga seiyalam... nan poi thoongava... yena mama ithu...

Appuram unga ponnu enna weak nu solliduva...

Oi... apadi than eh... (wink at M)

M (blushing) to K : kadavule... konjam chumma than irungalen...

P : aiyo... mapilla... athelam ilaa...

K : chumma than atha sonen... illaa senthu pana sikiram mudinjudum yellarume konjam rest edukalame nu tha sonen...

Yen namma veetu velaiya na pana kudatha... panrathu thappu... urimai illaa... venam na panala...

His usual word play tricked his in laws and made them nod for whatever he said which was admired by mullai...
Murugan and parvathy was quick to catch their son in law's point and started working on things together...

After sorting out the house, Murugan and parvathi retired for a small nap while kathir mullai came back to their room locking the room and also locking themselves in each other's embrace...

K : Oi...

M : hmmmm...

K : madam ok than eh...

M : sir irukum bothu madam ku yena... athelam ok than...

K : yenga irunthu than ipadi pesa kathukitiyo...

M : athelam mullai special... flow la varum... yaarum kathu thara vendiyathu ilaa...

M : yepavum double ok mood la than irupeyalo...

M : athu sari... aana anga yena velai...

K : mission mullai than...

K : yethu velaiyadarana... yen de... ivalo nerama yena panalum paravala paravala nu paatu paaditu iruntha... ipo na velaiyadaren nu solli back adika paakare...

Ithuku than sonnen enkuda potti podathe nu... ketiya...

Kathir scripted his words so carefully to provoke his so wife well and she easily fell as a prey...
Mullai was not so naive not to understand his antics to kindle her but she couldnt dismiss the ones he said...
So she wanted to go with his play but things he said embarrassed her a bit...
She cant completely say he was making fun of her...
After all, her husband had always been a bundle of mirth and mischiefs when it is between both...
So she can never predict his moves anytime...
She stood still seeing his eyes shimmer salaciously...

M mindvoice : yena yenavo pesaragha... ithelam nadantha yepadi irukum... yosichu than pesaraghala... illa vambuku illukaraghala... apadi than irukum... athu yepadi poi mottai maadi la... correct uh mulla... ne bayapadatha... ithelam chumma...

But her mind oscillated...

M mindvoice : ivughala namabalama...
En vishayathula ivughala ivughale namba mattagha nu soluvagha... ithula nan yepadi nambarathu... paakaratha paaru...

M mindvoice : mulla... ipo nee solra bathil la ivugha aadi poganum... nakkala panragha... irukatum...

M(clearing the throat) :  illanga mela paai irukum... thalaiyannai mattum pothuma... poorvai venum illaa... athu yeduka venama nu yosichen...

K(wickedly) : oh ho... athelam venaam... ne katiruka puduvai eh pothum... atha kalati porthikalam...  nee poo...

M mindvoice : pecha paaru... adiye mulla... ivugha kita intha vishayathula kandipa pesi jeika mudiyaathu... try kuda panathe...

K : Oi... mindvoice ah off panitu itha eduthutu po... (placed two pillows in her hand) tak nu poi velaiya paapom...

M : po ah... appo neenga...

K : milkshake eduthutu varen... thevai padum illaaa...

M(panicicky) : yenga...

K : yena bayama iruka... ithuku than sonnen...

M : poda... na poren...

Mullai came to her favorite spot in the terrace mumbling under her breath with a expectation what is that waiting for her... ...

But her slightly curious and tizzy mood immediately lit up with the surrounding...
It was sundown that was supposed to make the atmosphere a little sombre......
But no...
It was pleasantly mesmerizing...
The sun was veiling himself inside the clouds to rest for the day leaving a bright tangerine spread all over the sky....
The breeze was starting to chill up sending goosebumps all over the body in every blow of it...
The plants and trees were rhythmically twirling and whirling for the puff of air...
There were temple bells chiming all over owing to the evening pooja and screeching  sounds of the the birds who were back to the nest...
All together, it made a little piece of heaven on earth...
The avid admirer in mullai adorned her lips with a ecstatic smile placing the pillows on the mat as she waited to share the same with her husband ..

K : Oi...

M : hmmmm...

She turned to see him and there he was making her jaw drop with things he had in his hand...

"Inime milkshake mattum vaangi veka kudathu de... yetha snacks um vaangi vekkanum... pasikithu..."

" aama aama... sir romba hard work panrenga illaa.. athan pasikithu..."

The conversation from last night thrummed in her ears as she saw a big milkshake and a pop corn...

M : yenanga ithelam...

K : nee than first night ku paal, pazham, sweets elam eduthutu varala... athan nan namma first day ku ithellam eduthutu vanthen...

M : aiyo yenga ipadi...

K : vaa vaa... vanthu ukaaru... velaiya arambipom...

Kathir sat with a calm face placing things on the mat and patted the floor for her to sit...
Not understanding what he is upto, mullai sat near him just to pulled into his lap...

K : Oi...

M : hmmm...

K : bayanthuta than eh...

M : enaku yena bayam... athum unga kita...

K : poi sola kudaathu...

M : nijama bayam elam illaanga... valakam pola yetho velaiyadarenga nu puriyuthu... yenanu than ipo varai theriyala...

K : chumma irukava inga vara sonen... aama ipadi ukara vechurukene unaku yethum kuthala...

M : aiyo chi... yen ipadi elam pesareya...

K : yethu aiyo chi ah... adi paavi...

( amused) aiyayo... na vera yethaiyum solala... na sonathe vera... kadavule.... en pondaati ah ithu... yenga elunthiri paapom...

M (burying her face in chest) : yenga na paavam... please... konjam gap kudunga... 

K : athelam mudiyaathu... enna paaru ippo... unaku ipadi elam puriyumaa...

M : aiyo please nga... oru madhiri iruku...

K : intha oru varthaikaga ipothaiki vidaren...
Aanalum nee vera level la poitu iruke... vechukaren...

M : yenga... please...

M : aama aama neenga romba control la than irukeya...

K : aama illaya... sari... oru nimisham elunthiri... yena kuthalaiya nu kettenu kamikaren... (wink)

Mullai pretended as if she didnt hear the streaming naughtiness in voice nor his wink and got down to floor...
And Kathir took their book of firsts tucked inside his pant out and placed it on her hand enjoying her excited grin...

M : hey... namma book ah... super nga... cha kalyana galatta la itha maranthe poitene...

K : hmmm naanum kalyana mandapathuku vanthathuku appuram edukala... iniki kaalaila than eduthen...

M (smacking): athu sari... intha madhiri diary padikalam nu soli kutitu vara kudaatha... ipadi elam pesi than kutitu varanuma...

K : apadi kutitu varathula yena de kick iruku... ipadi yetha pana than un face la navarasamum varum...enakum jolly ah irukum...

M : ungala thiruthave mudiyaathu...

K : kandipa mudiyathu... sari padikiriya...

M : hmmm... padichu yethana naal achu... kanchipurathula padichathu... athuku appuram yethana vishayam irukum la padika... na padikaren...

K : hmmm... aniki madhiri inga madila ukanthutu padipiyaam...

M : hmmm... neengalum anniki madhiri katti pidichupeyalaam...

K : itha thaniya vera solanuma... athukum mela pana kuda na ready...

M : theriyume...

Mullai settled to his lap again and started reading the diary from where she left last in kanchipuram...
The scenes started drifting in front of her eyes as she lied comfortably in his embrace and proceeded with the flow...

The days after kanchipuram seem to be little gloomy for him...
It was so much obvious in the way it was penned down...
Mullai caressed his cheeks as a gesture of understanding him...

M : yenga... kashtapaturukenga illaa...

K(kissing her cheeks) : athelam appo madam... appuram en pondatti muzhusa enna thelivakita... so madam feel panama padinga...

M : hmmm...

Following it was the treat day of senthil swarna and their moments spent in the farm...
Kathir had put down all his heart and soul in that place literally mentioning each and every conversation of them in the farm...
She has to accept she was celebrated like a angel in each word which made her tear up unknowingly...

K : Oi...

M : hmmm...

K : azhuthena appuram diary eduthu olichu vechuduven... suthama padikave mudiyathu...

M : aama pizhiya pizhiya azhuthutu eluthi vechurukiye... apuram enaku mattum varatha...

K : athu appo yetho oru emotion... vidu vidu...

M : nijama azhuthutu than eluthiniyala...

K : athelam en azhagi kedacha santhoshathula vantha azhugai de...

Mullai dropped the diary down, adjusted herself to look at him and had put her hands around his shoulders...

M : unga azhagi na avalo pidikuma...

K : ithuku bathil sona than theriyuma...

M : illaa theriyum... aana neenga soli kekanum nu aasai...

aana sir than ippo elam solrathe illaye... athu sari pidicha than eh sola thonum... (pout)

K : aama aama correct... pidicha than eh sola mudiyum...

M : chhh... ponga... ungakita poi ketten illaa... enna solanum...

Mullai got back to her previous position and took the diary in hand...

K : Oi...

M : hmmm...

K : kochikitu elunthu pove nu nenachen...

M : aama kochikita mattum neenga maariduveghalaakum...

K : kandipa maara maaten... ipadiye than unmela paithiyama irupen...

M : hmmmkmmm... ipo than eh pidicha than sola mudiyum nu soneya... appuram yena paithiyam nu scene uh...

M (smiling) : ipadiye yetha pesi mayakunga...

K : yellam unkita kathukitathu than... sathiyama enaku pesa elam varathu... ne vanthathuku appuram ivalo pesaren... athum unkita mattum than...

M : athan paathane... kaalaila avalo otaragha... amaithiya oru varthai kuda pesama ukanthuruntheyale... enkita mattum avalo pechu...

K : athu apadi than... sari padi... velicham vera koraiyuthu...

M : hmmm... yenga chumma enna noonditu irukaama intha popcorn ah uti vidalam ilaa.. apadiye milkshake um... kondu vanthu vecha pothuma...

K : neram de... uti vidaren... athukaga unna noondama elam iruka mudiyathu...

M : theriyume... sari sari... sikiram pasikithu...

K : achu...

As kathir started giving titbits of popcorn, they went back to the diary again which was completely filled with lovable and gleeful memories reflecting the same to the ones reading it...

They grinned when it had a instance of happy smile...
They teared up when there was a emotional note...
They kissed when there was a mention about kiss...
They fought when they had a falling-out...
They laughed like a drain for when there was a fall about...
In short, They were reliving the moments again...
After the beautiful recollection of their courtship period, they stepped into the episodes of marriage...

M : Oi...

K : hmmm...

M : intha book ah ungakita thanthapo kuda ivalo azhaga yeluthuvenga nu nenaikala... apadiye kannu munnadi nadakara madhiri eluthirukiye...

K : namakku nadantha vishayangal elame azhagu... atha yaaru eluthinalum azhaga than irukum... athan ipadi...

M : hmmmm...

And now the sun was completely into its hidey-hole and the dusk was falling rapidly with a counterpane of murkiness everywhere...
The breeze was no longer just chill as it became more freezing...
They squeezed themselves more into eachother trying to shield them in eachother's cosiness...
For a minute, they forgot they were into a favorite handiwork of them and also the circumambient...

K : Oi...

M : hmmm...

K : padikanuma...

M : venama...

K : methuva padikalame...

M : hmmm methuva padikalame...

They popped the diary aside and dwelled in their own dwam fulfilling the wish and the want of the other...
How much ever they try, the craving ache never seem to come down and it did shoot up over time...
They were swamped more and more with desires but....

M : yenga...

K : hmmmm...

M : ithu mottai maadi...

K : uffff... hmmmm...

M : vena room ku polama...

K : poi...

M : poi... hmm ipo kashtam than...

K : hmmm... mani ipo than elu aaguthu... venam... namma diary eh padikalam...

M : hmmm... nenachen... neenga ipadi than soluvenga nu... sari next kalyana galatta start panalama...

K : hmmm... Oi... itha kudi appuram start panuvom...

M : hmmm...

They shared the milkshake with their own little sweet nothings and jounced to next....
They had so much memories to preserve, much questions to probe the other, pull eachother's leg and sametime prize the happenings...

They were all smiles reading the fun times at mehandi function getting reminded of every single thing happened on that day...

M : yenga... ithula eluthiruka madhiri nijama enna pant sattai la paakanum nu asaiya iruka...

K : aama aniki potruntha dress yevalo azhaga irunthuchu theriyuma... enaku apadiye unna...

M : athelam neenga sirapa eluthuruntheya... nallave padichuten... neenga thirumba explain pana venam...

K : namma vangarom... avalo than... aduthu padipoma...

M : sariyana adam nga neenga...

K : padikalam nu sonen...

M : hmm padikalam...

As they started again,It was about the midnight meet before marriage in the same place...

K : annikum ithe yedam than illaaa... ipadi than ukanthu pesitu irunthom...

M : aamanga... kalyanathuku oru naal munnadi... ipo oru naal appuram...

K : aama... aana aniki thirututhanama sevuru yeri kuthichu vanthu romance panen.. iniki avangale harathi eduthu ullaa vanthu romance pana solirukaanga...

M : kadavule... neenga irukeyale... ipadi yellama yosipeya...

K : aama first mottai maadi romance.. kalyanathuku munnadi, kalyanathuku pinnadi... yosikanum illaa...

M : neenga yosinga... na padikaren...

She continued with the haldi function and started blushing ever so reading out further...
Can this guy get any naughtier than this...
His descriptions about mullai on that day were spicy and steamy giving her instant gooseflesh...

The one who was blabbering all the while seemed to get silent all of sudden evoking some suspicion in the one who was in listening and admiring mode...

K : Oi...

M : hmmm...

K : yena achu...

M : yena acha... ipadiya eluthuvegha...

K : apadi yena... nalla than eh eluthiruken... enaku romba pidichathe intha manja kulikara vishesham than...

Seeing him write something on the front side of diary...

M : yenanga panreya...

K : A nu diary ku sensor certificate kudukaren...

K : namma itha namma pasangaluku padika kuduka venaam... sensor pani padichu kaamichudalam... ok ah...

M : adada... yepadi nga ipadi... super idea... ok nga eluthalam...

K : first naanu...

M : illaa naanu...

The following time was completely theirs with funny banters,naughty giggles, wide smiles,  soppy tears and what not...

The pen which was struggling to stay with one owner atleast for a minute, was pulled by the another in next few seconds...
The book was no less than pen, constantly taking its turn from him to her and vice versa...
They got shuttled in eachother's hands forming a beautiful pattern with a blend of mementos of both hearts...

The penstrokes were getting anchored artistically...
The letters were getting bonded beautifully...
The words were fitting flawlessly...
The sentences were getting sculpted strikingly...
And hence the memories were taking its shape with those sentences...

Finally the jottings was complete till date giving them a content feel...
The ones waiting for a chance to smooch and snuggle more used this window as a way to celebrate the successful pen down of memories together...

And then...

The lights went on bright filling the terrace with brightness and a call for them making them shudder...

Mu : ammadi mullaa... mapillaaa...

As Mullai reflexively got down from his lap and sat aside, Murugan stepped into the terrace...

M : paaa...

K : vaanga mama...

They tried  to get up as a gesture of respect just to b stopped by their father who joined them on the mat...

Mu : yena mapilla ingaye ukanthutenga... ore pani ah iruke... ammadi... neeyavathu sola kudathu...

K : illaa mama... intha yedam nala irunthuchu... nalla kaathu... apadiye ukanthutom...

K : oh sapidalame...

M : appo na poi yelam eduthutu varen...

P : iru de naanum...

K : neenga irunga atha... na kuda poren...

M : illanga neenga pesitu irunga... inga saapaadu eduthutu varave thaniya oru periya koodai iruku.. athula vechu eduthutu vanthuduven... prachanai ilaa...

Mu : aama mapilla... neenga ukarunga...

K : sari mama...

M : anju nimisham... vanthudaren...

Seeing mullai streaking down with utmost excitement, all three had a fond smile on their face...

Mu : mullai ah santhoshapadutharathu romba easy mapillaa... intha madhiri chinna,  chinna vishayam pothum avaluku... perusa nagai, nuttu, thuni mani elam asai pada matta...

K(grinning) : theriyuthu mama...

K : hmmm avaluku yellame chinna chinna vishayam than mama... athulaiye avaluku muzhu santhosham vanthuduthu... perusa yethum asai pattu ithu varaikum naa pakala....

Though murugan said with utmost pride about his son in law, there was a soupcon of disappointment about him too which was very well sensed by kathir...

K : apadi elam illaa mama... intha vishayathula varatha padarathuku onum illaa... unga ponnuku neenga pananum nu nenaikarathum, en pondatti ku nan pananum mu nenaikarathum onna irukanum nu yethum illaa...

padippu pothum, kalyanam paniko nu sola chance iruku... athu than illyalbu... itha perusu panathenga... neenga thappu.. nan sari nu... athelam illaa...

Kathir paused seeing in laws exchanging looks with a hidden smile...

K mindvoice  : yena da ithu.... oru madhiri sirikiranga... oru vella unna indirect ah nalla mapilla nu sonathula siripu varutho... irukum irukum... neeye unna pathi ipadi perumai adichukita sirikaama yena panuvaanga... yetho ponna kuduthutaanga nu romba pesare kathiru... adaki vaasi...

P : itha than mapillaa naanum soluven... aanalum ivaruku puriyaathu... oru vesanam... ivaru padika vekala nu... oru poraamai nu vechukongalen...

K mindvoice : ithuku than siripa... nalla velai... namaa nalla mapilla nu bit uh potatha gavanikkala pola...

Mu : ei parvathi.. chumma iru... athelam illaa mapillaa... ava chumma solra...

Murugan's low voice and sheepish smile blurted the truth making the other two chuckle...

K mindvoice : parra possessiveness uh...intha character than apadiye en pondatti kum vanthuduchu pola... ithum nalla than iruku...

When kathir was thinking of mullai's possessiveness with a smile, he heard parvathi calling him with a hesitation and murugan looking at her with no clue of what it is...

K : sollunga atha...

P : athu... ipo pesitu irunthame mullaiya pathi... avala santhoshapadutharathu romba sulabam nu...

K : aama atha...

P : athu... athu... athe madhiri avala varutha padutharathum sulabam mapilla... athu... vanthu...

K : sola vanthatha sollunga atha...

P : athu konjam kathi pesina, konjam namma mugam sulicha kuda thaanga matta... varutha paduva... ore oru nimathi... antha varuthatha kuda avaloda vechuka theriyaathu... udane veliya soliduva... ithu pidikala... ithu kashtama iruku nu...

As kathir nodded his head on acknowledgement,parvathi continued...

P : kovamum apadi than.. azhugai um apadi than... chat chat nu vanthudum... athe madhiri vantha nimishathula kaanaama poidum... manasula yethume vechuka matta... adutha nodi yethume nadakatha madhiri nadanthupa... (slight tears)

Mu : parvathi...

P : onum ilanga... ithelam ungaluku theriyaathathu illaa mapillaa... intha rendu maasathula nalla purinjurukum... aana yetho solanum nu thonichu... athan sonnen... neenga...

Parvathi abruptly stopped with no idea to put down her thoughts in proper words...
To his surprise, even Murugan didnt offer to help like every other time just settled with a glance at kathir...

But Kathir understood the concern behind the spoken and unspoken words and even behind those looks...
They want their treasure to be treasured as they did...
As simple as that...
But can he give the assurance in just words...
Definitely he cant...
He need time to prove it...
So till that...

K : neenga sola varathu puriyuthu atha... neenga kavalai pada venam... avala neenga pathukara madhiri nalla paathupen...

Solla pona neenga avala paathukaratha vida nan nalla pathupen nu ava kitaye savaal vera vituruken... ava ungala madhiri na aga mudiyaathu nu bathil savaal vera viturukaa...

Mu (amused) : yena mapilla solrenga...

K : aama maama... ava ungala pathi pesaratha kettu oru roshathula sabaatham potuten... ithukaagave nalla paathumanum...

Mu (grinning) : apadi engala vida neenga avala nalla pathikita santhoshapadra mudhal aal naangalaathan irupom mapilla...

K : appo poraamai pada matenga nu solrengala mama...

P : aiyayo... avara avaru ponnu vishayathula nambathenga mapillaa... kandipa paduvaaru... chumma verum pechu than...

K : enakum mama madhiri neraya poraamai elam illaa... aanalum konjam poraamai than...

They laughed out loud easing the sitch just to surprise mullai who came with the dinner...

M (beaming) : yena ore siripaa iruku...

P : chumma than de... yena ivalo neram... yelam eduthutu vanthituya...

M : aama ma... omlette potutu vanthen... athan konjam late agiduchu...

Mu : sari ma.. eduthu vei... sapidalam...

M : sari pa...

The dinner started off so well with all four helping themselves with food and hence with love...
It was not a simple meal together...
It was something more that had everything intermixed in equal proportion...

What it had...

It had....

The chats that never came to a stop...
The chuckles that never came to pause...
The cares that were never called off...
The concerns that never ceased...

In a nutshell, it was a feast that would be remembered for yonks...

With heart brimming with content and cheers,
Murugan and parvathi left the place clearing the vessels saying they wanted to go to bed claiming to be tired leaving the couple alone...
They sat back in the place grinning at each other...

K : Oi...

M : hmmm...

K : kalyanathuku appuram intha madhiri vishayam yellam miss panuve nu sonniye.. ippo yena thonuthu...

M : hmmm Mrs aanalum yethum miss pana matten nu thonuthu...

K : parraa...

Mullai clutched him over his arms and rested her face on him with his hands caressing hers...
The moment seem to be never ending and then...

K : Oi...

M : hmmm...

K : arambikalama...

M : yenathu...

K : mission mullai...

M : cha... aala paaru...

K : 100 percent chance illaa... atleast oru paathi mission... 50 percent...

M : hmmkmmm... appa light ah potu vitutu poirukaaru... ivalo velichama iruku... 5 percent kuda chance kedaiyaathu...

As she stopped,  the lights went off as if a spell chanted making them go for a smothered laughter...

K : ippo...

M : ippo...

There were no more verbal words heard there...

TBC...
