Next day morning...

Mullai home...

Mullai was having her morning coffee while murugan was busy with the newspaper....
Parvathi came from the kitchen...

As they continued to chat , mullai came to her room to call kathir...

Kathir who was in deep sleep attended her call in surprise...

‐--‐--------------------------------

Evening around 5 PM...

Parvathi with help of mullai prepared savories for kathir and kept all ready.... Murugan and parvathi moved to living room while mullai got inside to fresh up...

Mu : mapilla chumma varen nu sonaara illaa yetha vishayama nu solalaiye...

P : ada chumma mullai ah paaka kuda irukalam... paaponga....

Mu : hmmm paakalam...

Mullai came to the living room....

Mu : ammadi... ready agitiya...

M : aama pa....

Parvathi glanced at mullai's dress with a smile...
It was the skirt and top that kathir bought along with the earrings....

P : dress nalla iruku de... unaku romba alaga iruku....

M : illaa ma... enake romba pidichuthu...

Mu : ammadi ithu than mapillai vangi kuduthatha...

M : aama pa.. nalla iruka...

Mu : unaku nalla illama irukuma... athum mapillai vangi kudathu.. romba nalla iruku...
Aana ithelam kalyanathuku appuram potta nalla irukaathema...

P : hmmkmm... ponna oru pant sattai kuda poda kudathu solra aalu than eh neenga... ungaluku apadi than irukum....

Mu : adiye... na poda kudathu nu yepavum sonathu ilaa... enaku perusa pidikala... atha purinjutu mulla podala.. udane enna solathe...

P : aama aama... solranga....

Mu : ithu na mapilla veetula irukavanga yetha soluvangalo nu than sonen... mathapadi mullaiku yelame alaga irukum...

M : athan avugha inga namma veetula irukum bothu, veliyur pogum bothu potuka sonagha pa... mathavangalukaga yethuku podama irukanum nu...

P : paravala de mapilla... chumma sola kudathu... paaka than amaithiya irukaru.. Aana panrathelam vera madhiri iruku...

M mindvoice : athu sari than... neenga inum avugha panratha yelam paakave illaa. Athukula ipadi solregha... inum paatha avalo than...

All three moved to the entrance as soon as they heard the sound of the bike...

Kathir got down from the bike... His eyes searched for mullai , locked his eyes with hers only then he looked at others....

Though everything happened in a fraction of a second, Murugan and parvathi could sense it so well.. He threw a pleased look at mullai who smiled at him as a gesture of welcoming him...

Mu : vaanga mapilla....

P : vaanga mapilla....

K : nalla irukengala mama... atha nalla irukengala...

Mu : nalla irukom mapilla.. ulla vanga...

P : ei vara soli kelu de...

M : athelam venam ma.. avaruke puriyum....

P (chuckles) : athu sari...athu sari...

He sat in the sofa along with murugan...

K : neengalum ukarunga atha...

P : aiyo mapila.. athelam venam...

K : paravala ukarunga atha... ithula enna iruku...

P : athu nalla irukaathu mapilla... mapilla munnadi elam ukara mattanga namma pakathula...

K : appo na inime na inga varave illaa atha...

P : aiyo yena mapilla neenga...

K : pinna yen enna yaro madhiri paakarenga... unga paiyan madhiri paarunga nu sonane...

P : athu... illa mapilla..

M : ma... athan solragha illaa.... ukaru...

Mu : parvathi ukaru...

Parvathi sat reluctantly but with a gush of satisfaction.....

They had been some casual greetings and enquiries about the family and business while mullai served him with the snacks...

Mu : sapidunga mapilla...

K to M : Oi nee paniya...

M : ilanga amma than...

K : romba nalla iruku atha...

Parvathi blushed as her son in law appreciated her cooking.... However changed the topic to mullai... A typical mother to boast about daughter to son in law....

P : mullaiyum romba nalla samaipa mapilla... adutha thadavai avala pana solren....

K : kandipa solunga atha....

Mu : mapilla... sankaru kaanchipuram porathuku vandi book panitanam.... naalaanaiki kaalaila nerathulaiye kelambidalam mapila...

K : saringa mama...

Mu : anga enga annan oruthar veedu iruku... pasanga velinaatula irukanga.. ipo anna anni anga poitanga... veedu chumma than iruku... namma angaye irunthukalam mapilla... nalla vasathiya irukum... saavi sonthakaranga kita than iruku.. athukum soli vechutan....

K : saringa mama... yenganalum onum prachanai ilaa...

They did chat for somemore time drinking tea....

It has been more than a hour since he came... He was so interested to interact with murugan and parvathi than with mullai though he didnt forget to ask her few questions dragging her into the talks and off course they didnt miss their eye locks....

Mullai was in her own thoughts thinking about the purpose of his visit... However she couldnt get what is he upto...

Seeing her lost in thoughts, kathir grinned at her and came to the topic...

K : mama vantha vishayatha sola maranthuten....

Mu : solunga mapilla...

K (with a suppressed smile) : solrathu illaa mama.. kudukarathu...

Their morning talks flashed into their mind making mullai blush...

M mindvoice : thirumba kudukaratha.... yena vambo theriyalaiye..

K : enga rendu per friends ku thaniya invitation adika kuduthurunthen mama...athu vanthuduchu... athan kudukalam nu than vanthen...

Only then she noticed there was a cardboard box near him in the sofa...

M mindvoice : ufff... ithuva... happa saami... invitation ka ithana alaparai...

Mu : apadiya mapilla.. mullaikitaiye kuduthudunga....

He got up from the sofa and handed over it to her...

K(in a soft voice) : yepadi kuduthuten paathiya...

M : pesama ukarunga...

As he sat , she opened the invite and glanced it excitedly....

M : nalla iruku... illanga...

K : hmm super ah iruku...

She took two invites for murugan and parvathi to see...

When they were seeing the invites,

Kathir spoke without sound out of his lips seeing mullai...

K : permission keka poren....

Mullai didnt understand what he said... She spoke just like him....

M : puriyala...

K : per- miss-ion kek-ka po-ren..

M : yena...

K : per- miss-ion kek-ka po-ren..

M : haan.....

K (loudly) : permission kekka poren...

Mu : yena mapilla sonenga.....

K mindvoice : aiyayo...

M mindvoice : yenathu permission ah...ithu yena vilangam nu theriyalaiye...

K : athu ungakita oru permission kekalam nu vanthen mama...athan sonen...

M mindvoice : aiyayo.... ithu yethuku...

Mu : yena mapilla periya varathai elam solitu... chumma solunga....

Kathir started with a suppressed smile seeing mullai's tensed face....

K : athu en friends ku invitation kuduka mullai ah kutitu pona nalla irukum nu nenachen mama... na avala kupiten.. aana ava vara maaten nu solita.. athan unga kitayum atha kitayum soli avala vara solalam nu thonichu.. athan nerla permission kekkalam nu mama....

M mindvoice : ada paavame... invitation vanthathu, ipadi oru plan panaathu yethume enaku theriyathu... enkita vera madhiri soli enna tension panitu inga yena oru pechu pacha pulla madhiri...

Mu : ammadi varala nu soniya...

M : paa.. haaan.. aama pa.... (glaring at smiling kathir)

K : oru aara naaal pothum mama... motham oru 10 per than....mathavangaluku na kuduthupen... romba mukkiyamaanavanga vera.. senthu pona than nalla irukum... ketta varala nu solra..

M mindvoice : kedi kedi.. pecha paaru....

Mu : athuku yethuku mapilla permission yellam....neenga kutitu ponga... yena parvathi...

P : aama mapilla.. poitu vaanga.... yepo poganum...

K : kanchipuram poitu vanthu pona pothum atha... avasaram illa..

P : appo sari mapilla...

K : Oi....

M (startled) : hmmm...

K : atha mama permission kuduthutanga.. unaku ok than eh...

M : haan..ok than...

M mindvoice : aala paaru.. oru gift kuduka aanaiki antha alaparai...ipo ithuku ipadi oru alaparai... ivughaluku yethaiyum saatharanamave pana theriyathu pola.... ithula podi vechu pechu vera...

K(mischievously) : yena sariya kekala...

M ( same tone) : hmm double ok nu sonen...

K : double ok ah... ok ok....

Mullai couldnt control her blush and smile... She wanted a minute alone...

M : ulla vechutu varen...

She left with the invites inside, took a whole minute to compose herself from grinning and blushing and came back.... By that time, kathir was ready to leave...

K : saringa mama.. appo na kelambaren...

Mu : yen mapilla... athukula... night sapitutu polam mapilla....

K : illaa mama.. kadai la velai iruku... na karaikudi poitu nera ingaye vanthuten.... athan...

Mu : oh apadiya mapilla....

P : appo inoru naal sapidara madhiri vaanga mapilla.. mulla samayal yepadi iruku nu solunga...

K (smiling) : kandipa atha...

Mu : naalaanaiki kalaila neenga inga vanthudarengala mapilla...inga irunthu kelambidalam... jega, kasthuri, suji, sankar elam inga vanthuduvanga... mulla vera namma veetuku vara kudathu... athan...

K : athunala yena mama... nanga vanthudarom... time matum solunga pothum...

Mu : saringa mapilla...

K : ne kelambaren mama... varen atha....

P : saringa mapilla...

Kathir peeked at mullai hesitantly and a understanding crossed her face...

M : pa.. na anupitu varen...

Murugan and parvathi exchanged rapid looks of glee and stayed back....

Mu : po ma...

Kathir and mulllai moved to the entrance...

K : sona madhiriye unkita kuduka vendiyatha kuduthuten... atha mama kita permission um ketuten... ok than eh....

M : yenga ipadi.. invitation than kuduka varen nu sola vendiyathu than eh... apuram na invitation kuduka vara matten nu oru poi vera...

Mullai understood he is in hurry..

He started his bike, moved out her street and called dhanam again...
