They grinned from ear to ear as they got down in the coconut grove....

He held his hand out for her to hold while mullai caught his arm and clinged to him....

He explained the groove property details, its profit, how it works, measures taken here, etc on their way...

He showed a big sheltered banyan tree...

M : hmmm...

He took a towel from the motor room and wiped off the place to sit...

K : Oi.... vaa inga ukkaru...

M : hmmm...

They both sat comfortably locking fingers together....

M : settle agiyacha... ipo sollunga....

He tried to pinch her hip but her outfit made it less accessible..

M : hmmm...

He started speaking about some random stuff about distributing invitations, marriage works, their kanchi trip, her sarees all on earth but never came to point that mullai needed... She couldnt wholeheartedly hear to it as she wanted to clear things that was confusing her...

M : YENGA...

K : Oi yen kaathare... yena achu...

M : sorry nga.. theriyaama kaathiten...

K : kathina sari... yethuku kathina...

M : illa neenga suresh vishayatha pathi yethume solalaiye...

His question in confused voice literally gave her a skipped heart beat....

M mindvoice : yentha suresh ah....

She glanced at him only to get his empty look...

K mindvoice : yaarathu suresh... niyabagam vara mattenguthe... yetho vishayam nu vera kekara...

She clutched her head with her

Kathir moved closer to mullai and removed her hands from head...

K : inga paaru... yena tension agare.. enaku onume puriya mattenguthu de... yena paaru... paaru nu solren illaa...

Mullai lifted her face to look at him...

K : yena achu de.. yena unna potu uruthuthu... theliva sollu.. yethuvanalum paathukalam... yetho yosichu yenamo pesi kadupa iruka...

He embraced her around her shoulders and clasped her hand with the other hand..

K : sollu... thani kudikariya..

She clutched his shirt and pulled him more to her...

K : sari yen ipadi kulapama iruke...

M : enaku nethu iruntha kathir ah pidikalainga...

K : hmmm...

He was not surprised by this confession...
To be frank, he didn't like that kathir either....
That is not his usual self pondering about something that is not true...
Yes he knows how much he mean to mullai...
That is not his usual self not enjoying the essence of the beautiful moments in hand that too when he is with mullai....

M : kovama apadi sonathuku...

K : cha... illa illaa.. ne manasula thoninatha sollu... na kekaren... kovam elam illa...

M : hmmm... kathir na ipadi than en manasula oru image irukunga...

Neenga atha confidence nu soneya...

Kathir smiled at her explanation...

Kathir was surprised by now...

M : ungaluku niyabagam iruka nu theriyala...

Athula mullai irukarathu en kai kula nu soluveya.. avalo alaga... avalo getha...

Athu thanga kathir... Enaku pidicha kathir...

Kathir was mesmerized with her voice, her touch on his shirt, her words and in short her love...

While he was enjoying her warmth, It started drizzling....

K : hey vaa mazhai arambikkuthu... car ku poi pesalam...

Kathir got up in a hurry and helped mullai to get up...

M : venanga... ingaye irupom...

K : Oii loose ah nee... car la vanthutu nenanjutu veetuku pona kelvi kekka mattangala... yena bathil soluve... vaa mudhala....

He tried to take her with him but she cuddled close to him and tucked her face in his chiselled chest making him go insane...

K : Oi...

M : hmmm...

K : nenaiyare de...

M : paravala....

K : poga venama....

M : venam...

K : sari venam...

He pulled her into a tight hug.. It started raining heavilly...

M : pesi mudichitu thelivagitu inga irunthu polam nu than eh soneya..

Pesalama....

K : hmmm....

She lifted her face for his love looking into his eyes...

Yepavume neenga solra unga dialogue nu aniki soneyale...
