பூப்போல்
பூப்போல் என்
நெஞ்சை கொய்தவள்!!!

மின்னலை மின்னலை
என் பார்வை பறித்தவள்!!!

The song whizzed through the room filling the space with an euphonious aura that was missed till now...
Kathir, who was getting dressed up, reflexively
reached for the mobile with a excited grin which grew wider seeing the profile picture of the caller...

K : Oi...

M : hmmkmmm...

As mullai dropped the call, kathir got ready and accompanied others in the living room who were chit chatting with a tea in hand...
And when the time ticked to ten, the family kicked off to mullai's home happilly...

Over to mullai's home...

Even before they got down from the car, they could hear screams of voices welcoming them...
Kathir smiled at the confluence of both his families awaiting to get in soon to meet his own kingdom of heaven...

With all caterwauls of greetings such as Vaanga athachi, Vaanga akka, Vaanga periya mapilla, Vaanga ma, Vaanga kutties and a lot more, that really stood out was "Vaanga Mapilla"...

San : adei kathiru... athu unaku nu poorichu pogaathe... inime nee enga list ku vanthachu... yena ne solre...

Dh : aama kathir... ini namma elam palaya mapillai list... namala yaarum mathika matanga...

Man : correct... ponga... moonu perum poi oru oorama nilunga...

Mapilla... neenga yena avangala paathutu... ullaa vaanga...

Manju replied in a so called curt tone to the guys with a giggle and welcomed Kanna, the new groom to be...
Not only her, he was given a unusual attention by everyone that made him blush unknowingly giving the perfect cheer of bride looks...

Yes, it was the bride look day for kanna...

How did it start...
It happened in a way that no one dreamt of...

Whenever murugan used to call him chinna mapillai, kanna used to make a fun out of it asking for a bride in the family...
And when Sankar would tease about his aunt's daughter who are in madurai can be matched with kanna, he would say happilly lets do it when time comes...

It had happened many times as a fun and fortunately it came in real...
Everything seem to be like will of heaven when the aunty's family got shifted from madurai and settled in kunnakudi...

It was the same time kanna completed his studies and joined a job in a company in karaikudi...
By then both families were busy in searching alliances for their kids...

Mullai and kathir who had their foot on both families got a idea,took a initiative spoke with the couple, the families, and they together made a master stroke...

The photos, horoscope everything was shared and there was a complete contented acceptance from both sides...
And now...

They are here for a formal bride look to mullai's home that being the medial one for both families...
It was the first marriage in both sides family after kathir mullai's marriage and a weekend, so the entire family was present...

As they got settled for good, Kathir's eyes found his dainty doll coming there decked up in a yellow accoutre smiling at everyone...
On sight of him, her plumpy high rise cheeks reddened and tender toes started tip tapping the floor in anger...
Her jhumkas were dancing rhythmically for the fingers that was fidgeting..
Not caring anyone in the room, her fish eyes were throwing daggers at him with her usual cute pout...

Not sure of the reason for her anger, kathir got on his feet to reach her and lifted her in a wink nestling her in his arms...
With her puppy face full of disapproval, she wriggled to come out his hold as he rubbed his beard on her face just like how she likes always...

And she...

Madhulika Kathirvelan...

Fondly called as madhu kutti...

Kathir mullai's darling daughter...

The first grand daughter of PS family...

A cute miniature version of mullai adored and pampered by Murugan and Parvathi...

A angel as sweet as honey just like her name...

The one who makes her father a biological puppet, just like her mother...
And now she is arrested in her favorite arms...

K : en kutti madam ku yena achu... yen en mela kovam...

Madhu : chhh... en kuda pesatha paa.. po...

K : yen pesa kudaathu nu solre... yena achu kutti ku... nethu nalla than eh pesine...

Madhu : solla matten... po...

K : en kutti azhagi illaa... sollu de please...

She proved she is no less than her mother in her antics and tactics to cover people to her side...
Only after a good amount of time leaving everyone to plead her for reason, she came down from her throne...
In the mean time, though she wriggled out of his hold, she never made any attempt to get down from his lap...

San : madhu kutti... athan appa mela kovama iruke illaa... yethuku appa madila ukanthuruke... kela yerangu...

Madhu : periappa... nan than eh appa mela kovama iruken... appa ku enmela kovam illaa than eh... athan...

There was a wave of laughter admiring her reactions and talks making kathir hug her more in pride...

Madhu : ne enna thodathe paa...

K : saringa kutti madam... na thodala... neenga kela vizhundhudaama nalla ukanthukitu yena kovam en mela nu solunga...

Madhu : athu...

At the sametime, Mullai came into the living room receiving everyone happilly and sharing pleasantries not before her signature smile and head nod to her husband with a fond look on their daughter...

D : yena mullaa... vanthu engala varaverkarathuku ivalo late... inga vantha oru varathula la engala maranthuta paathiya...

M : akka... namma veetuku varathuku ungala varaverkanuma enna... athum illaama unga thangachi ah ready panitu than neram agiduchu...

Mullai threw a naughty look at kanna who gave her a thumbs up in return with a excited smile...

Me To ka : dei pothum pothum... niruthu... vazhiyuthu...

Ka : ponga anni... ungaluku ithelam nadakalainu poraamai...

Me : hmmkmmm poda...

Aama mulla... ipo nee mapillai ku anni ah... illaa ponnu ku akka ah... atha sollu mudhala...

M : aiyo akka... yen enna ipadi maati vidariya...

J : athu than eh pa avaluku pidicha velai... athan... illaa meena...

Me : poda...

L : meena...

Me : hehe... atha... haan.... mullaa... atha vidu... correct ah na nerathuku vanthe... un ponnuku un avugha mela yetho periya kovamam... atha kekka than naanga waiting... neeyum vanthu kelu...

M : apadiya... yena achu... yena kovam...

With her mother's question, Madhu animatedly started describing the reason for her anger to everyone...

Madhu : appa amma ku mattum thaniya magic pani kaamichurukaaru... enaku magic na romba pidikum... aana enaku kaamikala... appo appa ku amma than eh special... athan enaku kovam...

K, M (confused) : yethu... magic ah...

Madhu : aama... maa... nethu ne than eh sonne...

M : nan ah... nan yeppo sonen...

Kathir questioned at mullai with a eyebrows
twist and she responded back with a ignorant pout...

Madhu : aama... nethu chithi kita, periamma kita, athai kita elam solitu iruntha illaa... appa unaku yetho magic panaru nu... na ketten... enaku mattum appa antha magic pani kaamikave illaa...

With all others looking oblivious to her talks and trying to decipher it, there was a cackle of laughter from suji, manju, kasthuri and gayatri while mullai partially covered her face with her fingers with a blushing smile...
Kathir became curious looking at his wife's reactions and he was sure something pleasing to his heart is on the way...

Ka : yena anni achu... yen yellarum ipadi sirikarenga...

Dh mom : athan eh... pullaingala... sona naangalum siripome... aama magic na manthiram than eh...

San mom : ada aama ka... mapilla apadi yena manthiram potenga...

M : chh... athelllam onum illa atha... ivanga yetho chumma...

When mullai tried to put a end, it got actually started...

Man : chummaa elam solala... nethu night thoongarathuku munnadi nanga elarum intha ponnu paakara matter ah pathi pesitu irunthom... apadiye pechu ivanga ponnu paatha matter ku pochu... appo mulla sonnathu than ithu...

M : akka... chumma irukiya...

Suj : ada iru de... athan un ponnu pottu udachuta illaa... muluka nenanjathuku appuram yena mukkadu...

Hearing the proverb, mullai's eyes flickered to kathir just to meet his a naughty smile with a wink and got back to suji...

Suj : kathir vanthu ponnu paatha appove yetho magic panitaaraam... athavathu manthiram potutaaram...
antha magic la irunthu... athoda manthira kattula irunthu ithana varusham agiyum inum madam veliya varalaiyaam...
apadi oru super powerful magic aam.... yaaralaiyum athu pana mudiyaathaam...

Kas : surukaama solaanum na kathir thambi periya manthiravaathi nu sonna.. yena mullaa...

Hearty and happy giggles filled up the room fast teasing the couple as if they were the newly hitched ones...
Though mullai was embarrassed to some extent, she couldnt help looking at kathir...
As the eyes met, they got drowned in the real magic created in their life forgetting all others just to be pulled by their daughter...

Madhu : naan kovaama iruken... neenga yellarum sirikarenga... (pout) appa antha magic enaku mattum panala... appo na special illaa than eh...

Dh : athu vanthu madhu kutti... antha magic ellam kutties ku illaa... periyavangaluku than... athan unaku kaamikala... pothuma...

Madhu : appo appa ungaluku antha magic kamichurukaara periappa...

San : maatiniya ne...

madhu kutti... athu husband wife kula mattum than antha magic pana mudiyum...

Sanjay(son of suji sankar) : appa... appo neeyum ammaku antha magic pani kaamichurukiya...

San mom : aama aama... avanga pana manthirathula la than motha kudumbame mayakkam potuche...

Mu : akka chumma iru ka... kulanthai kita poi yethuku ithelam...

Kas : athan eh vidu chithi...

madhu kutti... athelam neenga amma appa madhiri perusagi kalyanam aanathuku appuram nadakarathu... ipo sonna kulanthaigaluku yen sonenga nu saami appa ah adichupudum...

Madhu : aiyayo... appa ah adichuduma... appo enaku antha magic venam... aana nan unaku special than eh paa...

K : nee enaku romba romba special de kutti azhagi... pothuma...

Madhu : aiii... pothum paa...

She hugged her father tight and kissed him leaving behind all her anger making everyone smile...

K : ippo kutti madam ku kovam pocha...

Madhu : suthama pochu...

K : appo sari...

Kathir kissed her back with a warm embrace as she sheltered well into his arms talking umpteens of her own tales she missed to share with her dad past three days and left to her own gang to play...

When few other talks started going on, kanna was trying to catch mullai's eyes who was busy speaking with lakshmi...

Me : dei yena da... anga yenamo kannjaadai kamichutu iruke... yena vishayam...

Ka : yena vishayama... namma yena vishayathuku vanthurukom nu niyabagam iruka illaaya... chumma ukanthu mokkai potutu irukenga...

J : adei vantha udane ponna kutitu vanthuduvaangala... konjam set aaga venama...

Ka : namma yena era cement ah set aga... ada vara solu ne... chumma vala vala nu pesikitu...

K : dei romba alaiyaathe... wait panu...

Ka : Mr. Kathirvelan... intha alaiyaratha pathi elam neenga pesave kudathu... konjam palasa nenachu paakanum... athu kuda paravala... vayasu kolaaru... ipo kuda anni vara konjam late aanathum neenga apadi thedinatha naan paathen...

K : athu...

J : yelei yen da pesi un maanatha neeye vaangikare...

K : thalayeluthu... ivana appuram gavanichukaren ne... mapillaiya poitaan... onum pana mudiyaathu...

Ka : aama mapilla waiting... apadiye annikita soli ponna kutitu vara sollu...

K : neram da...

Ka : athu pathinonnu aaga poguthu... inum ponnu varala...

Me : aiyo mudiyala da saaami... nan eh vara solren... thayavusenju un mokkai ah niruthu...

Meena spoke the same to mullai, manju and suji and soon it was spread to the elders...
Finally they decided to proceed with the bride look gala...

Ka : happada... ponna ipavavathu kannula kamika mudivu paanangale...

San : thambi mindvoice nu nenachu sathama pesikitu iruke... intha kudumbatha pathi theriyum la... appuram ponna kalyanam varai kannulaiye kaamika matanga... jhakarathai...

Kanna gestured as if he had zipped his mouth making all others giggle...
And soon there was a sweet silence surrounding the place...

And there was the bride...

Abinaya...

Stood in a neatly drapped sky blue color saree spreading a serenity all around with a shy and shaky smile along with sweet squirrelly look at everyone...

As the usual practice, she was made to sit with ladies of PS for usual talks and to extend the time for kanna and abi...
They had seen eachother for couple of times but not after tethered as a couple...
As the couple started the hide and seek game with their looks, there started another..

Kathir who was half hearing to teasing talks of sankar, dheena and jeeva had his eyes totally on mullai with the same passion he saw her before seven years...

He reminded of the seven beautiful years with her and off course many more to go still...

How her love made him love her more inturn him the most...
How her heart understood the intricate part of him...
How her maturity washed away his insecurities...
How her trust and innocence brought his playfulness back...
How her anger and possessiveness triggered his male pride...
How her talks made the inarticulate man in him disappear...
How her care made him reminisce the love of his father and mother poured on him together...
No doubt...

Mullai, the perfect package of love and liveliness...
His life changer in all aspects...

A small smile peeked into his face as the flowers on her shoulders fell to the front as she bent down to listen to lakshmi....
Off all things, another thing that didn't change over time was her mesmerizing beauty...
Can bet over her to anyone saying she is just a college goer and he would win without a doubt...
Lucky him he thought...

At the Sametime...
Mullai who caught something in his looks, reached for him dismissing people around...

M : Oi...

K : hmmm...

M : yena sir apadi paakarenga... yenamo neenga ponnu paaka vantha madhiri...

K : ponnu chumma apadi iruntha appuram paaka vendiyathu than eh...

M : sir verum ponnu illaa... unga pondatti... maranthudaathenga...

K : vazhinja yena... inga ukanthu neengale thodachu vidunga... (pointing to the arms of his chair)

M : aala paaru...

K : paathute than iruken...

Ka : hello neenga paathathu pothum... konjam enna gavaninga...

Kathir and mullai let a amused laugh patting kanna at his back just to be questioned by sankar and dheena...

San : hello... hello... yena... veetu mapillaiya adichikitu irukenga... kekka aalu illa nu nenachengala...

Ka : apadi kelunga ne... help pana sonna adikaranga...

Kanna complained to both explaining his need of the moment...

San : ithuku adikalam da thappe illaa...

Dei intha kudumbatha ithana varushama paathum ipadi oru aasaiya unaku...

Ka : please ne...

San : sari vidu... paniduvom... thalaivara kupidu ne...

Dh : tho... kupidaren.. maama.. maaama... inga vaanga...

Je : yena da... yethuku kupitenga...

Dh : kanna abi kita pesanum... konjam pesi help panunga...

Je : athan eh paathen... yena da mapillainga paasama kupidaranga nu nenachen... ipadi mama velai ku mattum correct ah kupidunga da...

San : mama... help panunga mama... neenga sonna kepanga...

Je : dei mudhala mama nu kupidaratha niruthunga... pesuvom...

He let a deep sigh making all others giggle...

Je(clearing throat) : chithapa... nammale pesitu irukame... ponnum mapillaiyum thaniya pesarathuna pesitu varatume... athukula namma aaga vendiyatha paakalam...

Abi dad : yenathu thaniya pesaratha... athelam namma palakam illaaye jega... yena muruga...

Mu : athu...

Kas : athelam palagika vendiyathu than chithapa... yen mullai um kathir thambi yum kuda pesinangale...

Abi mom (shocked) : yenathu apadiya...

K (low voice ) : dei un varungaala mamiyaar kudukara reaction paatha time machine vechu naanga pesinatha kuda azhichuduvaanga pola... romba kashtam da un paadu...

M : neenga chumma irunga... athelam poga poga kanna easy ah avangala correct paniduvaan...

Ka : aiyo na avangala correct panrathuku munnadi abi ah correct pananum... athuku help panunga na neenga sandai podaren pervazhi nu romance panitu irukenga...

M : poda... iru iru...

Chithi onum prachanai illaa... chumma oru anju nimisham than... veliyava poga poranga... veetukula than eh... yellarum inga than eh irukom...

After few pushes from the youngsters, Abi's parents looked at excited abi and kanna for a second and gave their consent...

Mu : ammadi madhu... chithapa ah maadiku kutitu po ma...

Kasthuri... neeyum abi ah kutitu po...

As the couple left for good with flapping butteflies in the stomach, the normal talks started again...
By then...

Gaya : mullaa... ei mullaa... thambi azharan de... athukula yezhunthutaan pola...

M : varen kaa...

Mullai hurried up to her room followed excitedly by kathir to see him...

And he is...

Mithran Kathirvelan...

In short mithu...

Kathir mullai's second bundle of love...

The kadaikutti of PS family as of now...

A boon, just like his father, to murugan and parvathi who badly wished for a boy at home...

The one who keeps the place lively with his sweet sounds, gleeful giggles, sunny smiles and most importantly his jibber jabbers..

He was lying down in his thotil making crying sounds trying to come out of it holding the edges of the cloth...
His attempts got vigorous on seeing his parents and the cries turned to chuckles as he was lifted by his dad...

K : adei... thoongalaiya nee... un amma anga nee bayangara tired ah thoongara nu solitu iruntha...

M : apadi than nenachen... athukula yelunthachu...

Mithu made noises with few baby talks showing his favorite thotil smearing himself on his dad's face...

M : thotil la thoonginaanam... yepadi perumaiya nu kaamikaraan paarunga... vaalu paaya...

K : unna yaaru de thotil la poda sona... athan kaamikaran...

M : neenga yen pesa maatiya... nethu ivan pana settai apadi... naanga elam pesitu thoongum bothe mani renduku mela agiduchu... appovum thoongaama pesitu, sirichutu, veeta suthi oditu irukaan... avalo oru kushiya avalo fresh ah... kadaisila enala mudiyala... romba thookam vanthuduchu... amma than thotil la poda sonanga... athan vera vazhi illaama thotil la potu aati vituten...

(Pinching mithu's cheeks) sirikaratha paaru... apadiya appa madhiri... yellathaiyum panitu yethuvume theriyaatha madhiri moonji ah vechuka vendiyathu...

K : nijamave engaluku onum theriyaathu de...

M : aama aama... athan paakarane...

K : vaalu paayale... amma ivalo complain panra... avalo settai paniya nee...

Seeing his proud giggle, mullai tickled him making him giggle more gaining him more kisses from his dad...

M : enaku...

K : unaku than de yepavume first...

As kathir kissed mullai, mithu waggled in his arms asking for the same pointing his cheeks making them chuckle...
By then, madhu stormed into the room fast getting on the bed to reach for their height demanding a kiss...

Madhu : enakum enakum...

K : unakum than...

The family rejoiced the happy moment for some quality time...

Madhu : paa... paa... na mithu ah thookaren paa... Kudu avana...

M : venaam de... avan chumma irukaa mattan... aaduvaan... unaku balance irukaathu... kela potuduva... kattil la ukaara vechuko...

Madhu : please ma.. please ma... poda matten... bathirama pidichukaren...

Before mullai objected, mithu shifted to madhu's open arms and kathir embraced both balancing them...

K : onum illaa de... nan pidichukaren... bayapadathe...

M : hmmm... madhu kutti unna chithapa kuda than eh iruka sonanga... nee yen vanthe...

Madhu : chithi kuda thaniya pesanum nu chithapa than ma poga solichu... pona enaku naalaiki fallooda vaangi tharen nu soliche.. athan vanthuten...

K (laughing) : paya pullaa vevarama than irukaan...

M : unga thambi ache... apadi than irupaan...

K : kandipa...

Madhu : paa... yepadi irunthuchu surprise... ne onume solala...

K : surprise ah... vantha udane sandai potu shock than kudutha... yenga surprise kudutha... dress la yetha surprise ah... oh ammavum ponnum ore color ah... rendu azhagiyum azhaga irukenga...

Madhu : aiyo athu illaa pa... ne video paakalaiya...

M : madhuma... un appa inum net eh on panala de... message ah paakave illaa... ithula ne kelvi vera kekkare...

Madhu : inuma paa paakala... nethu night anupinathu...

K : illaye... tho ippo paakaren...

By then, mithu with his usual play jiggled and jumped out onto the bed reaching for his toys while madhu followed him leaving kathir free..
But before he took the mobile out, mullai was fast enough to grab and hold it behind her...

K : Oi...

M : hmmm...

K : kudu de... paaka venama...

M : onum venam... profile ah open pani vechutu yeppo online varuven nu wait panitu iruntha kaalam ellam pochu... ippo paarunga yepadi irukeya nu... nethu anupinatha ipo varai paakala... inime mattum yethuku paathukitu...

K : athu konjam velai de... illanaa apadi irupana... hmmm... neeye sollu...

He closed the room, tried to cajole his wife's fake anger with a soft kiss and a warm hug finally with a hip tweak...

M : yellam irupeya... inum vera aalu paakara idea la iruka aalu than eh neenga... ithula en niyabagam yenga vara poguthu sir ku...

K : correct ah sonnenga madam... na sonna velaiye athu than... vera aalu paakarathu... (wink)

Mullai's eyes threw bunches of bayonets on him placing the mobile on his hand as she moved away from him...
For few seconds it was just the sounds of the kids playing as kathir was busy in admiring his angry wife's deeds...
With hearing noises outside, he understood this cant go long and proceeded to appease her...

K : Oi...

M : ...

K : pesu de...

M : ...

K : athu yepadi de mudhal thadavai kovapatta madhiriye ipo varai kovapadare...

M : neenga yepadi mudhal thadavai sendina madhiriye ipo varai sendareya... apadi than...

K : ipadi iruntha pidikalaiya...

M : pidikala nu solava...

K : soli than paaren...

M : venam pa... aala vidunga...

K : unna yeppavum vida mudiyaaathe...

Kathir embraced mullai instantly placing pecks on her face and then head as she buried herself into his chest...

M : ennalaiyum mudiyaathu... ungala yevalo miss panen theriyuma... yepada neenga varuveya nu agiduchu... ungaluku than onume irunthurukaathu... santhoshama irunthurupeya... (pout)

K : aama de sema santhosham... apadiye bachelor days ku poita feel...

M : athan theriyume... ponga...

Mullai pushed him aside and sat on the bed with a disapproving look...

K : sari sari... chumma than velaiyadinen... kochukaathe... samaathanam pana kuda time illaa...

M : athan nerla vanthache.. ini yethuku phone... nerlaye paarunga... ipadi vanthu ukarunga... madhu kutti appa ah surprise panalaama....

Madhu : oh panalame... appa... ippo paaru pa surprise ah...

Mithu kutti... appa per enna sollu...

K (excited) : Oi... en per sonaana... cha na illaama poitane...

M : paravala vidunga... ipo kelunga...

Mithu... sollu thangam... appa per yenna...

After few tries with his usual papa, maa, booboo, mithu came with his father's name in his bubbly voice...

Mithu : kadhhhhhi...

K : kadhhhi ah...

Kathir let out a triumphant smile taking mithu in hands showering him with kisses while mullai and madhu cheered him up with claps...

M : paatheyala... kashtapatu per soli kudutha athelam solaama madhu first time yepadi sonaalo athe madhiri solran... ithukum oru thadavai kuda yaarum ivan munnadi apadi sonathu illaa... ithu than gene polanga...

K : hmm paravala... mithu kutti inoru thadavai solunga...

That was a complete family time with madhu teaching her brother their father's name , but the adamant apple pie giggling saying the name he liked and kathir enjoying all the fun with pride...
Not to mention mullai who was in seventh heaven admiring her cute little family leaning on kathir's shoulders...

Soon they were called for by the elders as it was quiet sometime since the young couple met in private...
Then Kanna and abi were called back and asked for the already known acceptance confirming the same...

After the acknowledgement from both sides, there started the real fun of the day...
While abi started serving the beverages to kanna...

Abi : ithu ungaluku...

Ka : paal ah...

Abi : aama neenga paal than kudipenga nu akka sonaanga...

Ka : he he.. thanks... anni (thumbs up to mullai)

Abi : mama... eduthukonga...

K : illaa pa... venam... ne mathavangaluku kudu...

Abi : ithu coffee illaa mama... ungaluku thaniya tea...

K : oh...

Kathir looked at mullai to see her wink with a cheers gesture showing her coffee tumbler and he responded with the same...
Using the little silence for the tea break, Kathir cleared his throat and started speaking after a look at mullai for a second...

K : appuram... chumma ukanthutu iruntha yepadi... ponnu ku paada theriyuma... aada theriyuma...

Ka mindvoice : aathi ithu athu ilaa...

San : kathiru neeya... yena da kekare...

K : athu oru palaya kannaku ne... athan...

There was a mixed reaction in the room initially but soon everyone got to know the fun element and went on with it...

J : naane kekaanum nu nenachen... neeye ketuta da... yen pa abi... paada theriyuma... apadiye oru paatu paadarathu...

K : anne dance ah vituta....

Ka (softly) : aiyo edadumadaka pesathengalen... pesama irunga...

K : yethu pesaama irukava... yen da chumma snacks sapitutu coffee kudikava vanthom...

J : athan eh...

Me : kanna... ivanga pesiratha paatha ponnu veetula ponna tharaaama thoratha poranga... confirm....

Ka : aiyayo...

Man : kanna flashback la neraya panirupa polaiye... yellam thirumba varuthu pola unaku...

Ka : ada.. yen anni neenga vera...

K : sari sari atha vidunga... inum ponnu paatu paadalaiye...

M : hmmm... anniki sonathu than inikum... paiyan kaalaiya adaka, kambu sutha ready na ipove ponnum paadi aada ready...

Ka mindvoice : ivanga onum nammala pathi pesara madhiri theriyalaiye...

Kanna looked suspiciously at kathir and mullai who was chuckling with their inside joke looking at eachother while all others were busy teasing kanna and abi...

Ka mindvoice : nenachen... ivanga romance ku namma urugaai ah... help um panranga ipadi bulb um kudukarangale...

Suj : yena kanna kaalaiya adakalama...

Ka : hmmkmmmm kazhudaiya kuda adaka mudiyaathu... ithula kaalaiyaam...

Gaya : kekala mapillaa sir...

Ka : haan... athelam adakidalam nu sonnen anni...

Kas : appo sari... yenga... namma aarumugam veetula solli antha kaala maata pidichutu vara solunga... thambi adakuthaam...

Ka : yethu...

With stunned kanna's reaction, the room thwarted with laughter for next few minutes with sloshing send ups and raining razz...
Tired of chortles, they finally stopped the fun as the elders started about the marriage talks...

Dh dad : sari pasangala... kindal panathu elam pothum pa.. sirichu sirichu vayiru than valikithu... namma vantha velaiya paapom...

Je : aama chithapa... apadiye nichaya thethi, kalyana thethi elam kaiyoda kurichudalame... neram achu... yena atha...

L : aama jega... muruga... neengale paathudunga...

As murugan was busy with looking for dates, mithu in mullai's hands called for his dad and kathir reached them in no time to have his little master in his arms...

Mu : akka rendu maasam nalla illaa... ini thai la than naal nalla iruku... appove vechupoma...

L : vechukalame... neenga yena solrenga...

Abi dad : vechukalam ka.. aana nichayam...

Mu : athu munnadi vekka mudiyaathu pola... naal yethum nalla illaa...

P : appo kalyanathuku munnadi naal vechuka vendiyathu than... yena athachi...

L : aama parvathi... ithum nala yosanai than... namaku naalum kedaikum... yena thethi sonenga...

Mo : mama... mandapam kuda namma naathan hall eh paakalama... munnadiku inum puthupichu romba nalla panitanga... aniki kuda shanmugam ponnu kalyanathuku ponome...

Mu : naanum athan solanum nu nenachen mapilla... munnavida inum romba nalla iruku... namaku pakamum kuda... vasathi...

K (wink at M) : aama aama... guest room elam kuda inum nalla panitaanga... vasathi than...

M (pinching his arm) : chhh... chumma irunga...

K : na chumma irunthuruntha yepadi de ivanga poranthurupanga...

M : porukki porukki... yaravathu kekka poranga... konjam pesama unga edathula poi ukaarunga...

K : mudiyaathu inga than nippen...

M : appo pesama nilunga...

K : athu mudiyaathu... sari kulikaratha pathi vanthu solren nu sonnen illaa...

M : neenga sola venam... enake purinjuthu...

K : cha... ipadi neeye yellathaiyum purinjukita enaku ena de velai...

M : sir oda intha varusham kudumbam nadathu ungala madhiriye yosika arambichuten... yellam unga aseervatham than...

K : pode... Oi... oru vishayam solanum...

M : sollunga...

K : kanna kalyana pathirikai la un per ku pinnadi MBA nu podanum... M.Mullai Kathirvelan MBA... yepadi irukum... namma oorla ithelam periya vishayam... neraya ponnunga unna paathu maaruvanga...

Mullai didnt know if its her eyes or heart thats tearing up..
Her female pride welled up seeing her husband...

M : podalanga... neraya pasanga ungala madhiri maaruvaaanga...

K : Oi... azhariya...

M : chhh... i love u...

K (beaming) : intha varthaiku inum pathu degree padika vekkalame...

M : bathil solunga...

K : hmmm naanum... romba romba....

They grinned at eachother with all love and moved on to the family talks...
Finally everyone decided everything about the marriage dates, venue, shopping and further things leaving the couple to dream and explore the different hues of pink in eachother's face...
Once all talks were settled, they had a complete wrap up family time and the kathir's family prepared to leave post lunch...

Mullai who was in her parents place for a week too started along with them bidding pip pip to her family not before planning for the next gala meet and a emotional sendoff to murugan and parvathi as always...

As they reached home, the entire PS house was filled with festivity and frolics as if it was the day of marriage...

With all
rest and romp...
claps and clamours....
smiles and shouts...
ribs and rags...

the day ended peacefully and they retired for to their respective rooms...

TBC...
