She could feel a little restlessness or discomfort in his voice which made her worry reflexively...

Seeing mullai moving away from him, kathir pulled her more to him...

He adjusted himself to fill the space between them...

K : Oi...

Mullai rubbed her cheeks on his beard in a slow pace stupefying him for a second...

K : yena de panre...

M : thodachu vidaren... thodaikka vera yethume illaye...

Next second, kathir slumped on the mat pulling mullai over to it, cradling her head on his folded elbow and turned sideways towards her...

M : yenanga velai ithu...

K : nee pana velaiku bathil....

M : athu sari....

She nestled up into his chest enjoying the  cosiness of his body in contrast to the chillness of december...

His hands wrapped around her securely returning back the strokes on her cheeks...

M : inum trim panalaiya...

K : naalaiki than... yen pidikalaiya...

He looked so obscure and petulant...

Off course, there was nothing so knotty and complicated in the things he shared...

All were very simple things which everyone would undergo at that particular phase of life...

If marriage has given her different reasons to scare about, his fears are different from his point of view...

Some people dont change anything for others...

Some people change but don't care about the changes and go with the flow...

Some people change but try to brood over the impact of the changes created in their life..

For sure, changes are unavoidable...

M : last time neenga intha sonapo antha unga ngrathula athaiyum, naanum mattum than irunthom... ipo apadi illaa polaiye...

K (naughtily) : appo vaangi vechathu waste aagathu nu solre...

M (blushing) : ungala...

They grinned at eachother ear to ear getting wrapped up by the other more... They could feel at the end of every second they were getting more closer and finally there was no space between them physically and mentally...

M : yenga...

K : hmm sollu...

M :  time agirukum illaa...

She moved swiftly from him and sat down with a angry face...

K : neram nu sola vanthen de... udane...

M : nambitten... birthday anniki na tha vara sonen... apuram anniki thoppu kum na than vara sonen... iniki kuda meet panalam nu na than sonen... ithelam ungaluku theriyaathe...

He lied on his back with a hand under his head and one leg on another leg...

M :  sari theriyaamaiye irukaatum... elunthu ponga mudhala...

K : athelam poga mudiyathu... nee vanthu padu...

M : mudiyaathu...

K : sari ipadi ukaru... athum vasathiya than iruku...

His free hand fumbled in his favorite spot making her twist and turn with a wide smile...

M : chumma irunga please...

K : matten... Oi... 

He got up immediately from his position with a jerk..

M : yena achunga...

K : intha  sandai ah vidu... nethu ketane.. athuku onume solala..

M : na than mudiyaathu nu sonane...

K : enaku athelam theriyaathu...enaku venum...

K : aama... vanthu padu vaa... time waste panathe...

M : hmmm romba than...

They resumed their old position facing eachother lost in their own talks about their upcoming special days, cute banters, sweet kisses and many more..

Just then mullai's mobile vibrated disturbing their moment...

M : swarna nga... yethuku kupidara nu theriyalaiye...

K : attend panu...

M : hmmm....

Hello... yena de... onum problem illaye...

Swar : athellam nanga irukum bothu yena varum... onum illaa...

M : yethuku....

Chorus : podu deeeeeee...

M : kathaatheya.. podaren...

Yenga avanga unga kuda pesanumam...

K : oh... podu...

M : Potachu de solunga...

And there was a song streaming through the mobile...

Motta maadi
Oru love jodi love jodi
Motta maadi motta maadi
Oru love jodi love jodi
Ilavasama
Oru cinema
Namakkaaga
Nadakkuthu
Show show show....

Chorus : hooooooooooooo...

They peeked around to take a glance if they are been watched and got back to same position seeing none around...

M : yen de ipadi...

Kar : pinna yenna de... poi yevalo neram achu... nangalum varuvenga varuvenga nu paathute irukom...

Mullai snuggled more into him whispering into his ears in a husky voice...

M : enakum poga manasu illaa...

K : appo pogathe...

SMOOCH...

They forgot they were in middle of a call with a bunch of people waiting to tease them...

Chorus : hellllloooooo...

Ta : yena satham...

M : inga ore kaathu de athan...

Chorus : ohhhhhhhhhhh....

K : sari ma... oru two minutes... vanthudarom...

Chorus : okkkkkkkkkkkkkk...

They disconnected the call gazing eachother in silence with a smile...

K : sari na kelambaren de... maatika pore...

M : hmmm...

K : happy ah anupi vei.. feel pana venam...

M : athelam illanga... romba santhosham ah than iruken... kelambunga...

They got up after a quick embrace and a kiss...

M : vaandi yenganga iruku.. kaanom...

M : kedi... yevalo kedithanam panreya... intha  madhiri yelam poi romba experience polaiye...

K : Oi...

M : en mela promise...neenga than first...

K : azhagi... (a peck on her forehead)

kelambaren...

M : hmmm...

While she was admiring him moving to the gate with this steady gait,  he turned towards her for a second and jumped over the gate making her freeze with his style... She came out of the trance with the vibration of her mobile and it was him calling her standing under the street light with its hues on him...

K : Oi...

M : hmmm...

K : paathachu illa.. ullaa po...

M : neenga ponga...

K : po nu sonen...

The commanding tone was back....

M : hmmm... poren... reach agitu kupidunga...

K : kandipa...

She started getting down the stairs...

K : Oi...

M : hmmm...

K : inum ore naal...

M : aamanga.... 

K : atha nenachute thoongu... bye...

M : neengalum... bye...

As she moved inside the house, he left to his vehicle both with wide grin on face....
