The rest half of the day passed too slow for Kathir and Mullai...

Kathir, after few minutes of admiring her pictures, decided to call her in the night without any hindrance as he expected her cousins might be with her and engagement preparations will be on with relatives around... He left to shop for his work...

Mullai, on the other hand, was busy going to tailor shop, some little purchases always accompanied by kasthuri and sujitha... She didnt fail to check mobile once in a while... She had her mobile data on all the time expecting atleast a whatsapp ping if not call...

10 PM,

(Please imagine KM room when dialogue is for kathir and Mullai room for mullai's dialogue. It will be repetitive to write KM room, mullai room again and again)

K : kupiduvoma... kandipa thoonga room ku vanthurupa... thaniya than irupa...

He picked up the mobile and dialled her number... With a second thought, he cut the call immediately....

K : room ku vanthurupa sari.. aana ava matum tha irupala... ava amma ilaa vera yaravathu iruntha ena panrathu...

He was confused what to do...
He then decided and gave a small single ring call to her number...

M : adiye mulla.. mani pathu achu.. iniyuma phone varum nu ukanthutu iruke... un aaluku phone number vangina vegam phone panrathula illaye... ena panrathu ipo...

Pesama padupoma...

Cha.... thookamum varaathu....ena panrathu ipo...

Mullai is staring at the mobile screen and sees a call from unknown number and it stopped immediately...

She felt butterflies in her stomach and was sure it would be him.. But was not sure why did he cut the call...

M : oru velai kuda yaravathu irukalam nu nenacharo... apadi than irukum.. namma veetu aalunga pathi tha nalla therinjukitare...

She called him back and just cut the call in a single ring... Then started awaiting him to call back...

TRING..

Kathir's face is lit seeing her missed call...

K : sari tha kathiru... signal vanthachu.... ( beaming)

He called her again....

Mullai picked up the call now...

K : Oi....

M : Hmmm...

K : nan tha...

M : theriyum....

K : epadi...

M : intha nerathuku vera yaru enaku kupiduva....

A feeling of closeness advanced throughout his heart by this answer....

K : oh ho... thaniyava iruke....

M : aamanga....

K : epavum thaniya tha padupiya...

M : aamanga.. en??

K : epadi unga veetula una thaniya vidaranga.... epavum una suthi yarachum irunthute irupangale...

M : apadi elam onum illa.. chumma solatheya...

M : athan miss call kudutheghala....nenachen...

K : nenachiya...

M : aamanga.. athan na thirumba miss call kuduthen....

Both were wondering how they get each other's feel exactly...

K : sari appuramm.....

M : neenga tha solanum....

K : ena solanum...

M : ena sola kupitengalo atha solunga....

K : etha sola iruntha than kupidanuma... chumma kupida kudatha...

K : oh ho... inime kupituta pochu... athan ne thaniya tha irupe nu therinjuduche....

M : hmmm apadi pesa mudiyalainalum whatsapp panunga... na reply panren...

K : whatsapp ah... athelam na Romba use pana matten...

M : ethu? Whatsapp use pana matengala??? ( shocked)

K : hmmm na apadi tha...palagiduchu... aama ne use panuviya...

M : oh elame panuvenga... athelam illana etho madhiri irukum...

M : cha cha en apadi solriye...
Apadi elam ila....

K : apadi nenachalum onum pana mudiyathu... maatikitathu maatikitathu than... enkita irunthu thappika mudiyathu...

Something in that voice and words made mullai go thrilled of their future......

M : thappika nenacha than eh???

Kathir lied down on the bed with face full of smile and one leg on another....

K : thappika nenaika mattiya??

Mullai too lied on her bed...

M : inum athigama maatikanum nu vena nenaipen...

Kathir's smile grew bigger and bigger now...

K mindvoice : azhagi.... enama pesara....avala madhiriye ava pesarathum alagu....

K : nalla pesare....

M : neengalum than...

Both are grinning and blushing at their talks drip to imaginary world and come back after sometime...

K : Oi....

M : hmmm....

K : unkita enaku oru vishayam kekanum...

M : kelunga...

K : ne MBA padikanum nu sone illaa... athuku apply panitiya...

M : ilanga.. panala...

Mullai didnt know what to reply... Its true that these discussions were up in her house since yesterday... But why these people convey all these to him.. What if he feels bad...

M mindvoice : intha athachi ku arive ila.. padikala nu solitu poga vendiyathu than eh.. thevai ilathatha elam solitu...

K : ena achu...

M : apadi elam onum ilanga... avugha etho theriyama solirupanga...

M : Hmmm...

K : onnu solatuma unkita...

M : solunga.. yen ipadi kekaregha...

K : namma vaalapora vaalkai full ah enaku ore oru ethirparpu than unkita...
Ena theriyuma...

M : enathu???

K : Enkuda irukum bothu nee neeya than irukanum...

Na etha nenachukuveno nu bayapadarathu,

En manasuku na epadi unmai ah irupano aapdi tha irupen unkita...

Neyum apadi irupiya?????

Mullai's eyes filled with happy tears to hear those words in his calm and soothing voice... Something happened inside her surrendering her completely to him....

K : irukiya...

M : irukenga...

K : ena onum pesa matengare...

M : enamo theriyala ipadi neenga ketathum oru madhiri agiduchu... vera onum illaa....

K : enaku perusa pesa theriyathu epavume... na ethum thappa solitena thapa eduthukathe...

M : enaku santhoshathula ena solrathunu theriyala...

K : athe santhoshathula apadiye sari nu solidu... avalo than... ( smile in his voice)

M : saringa ( smiling at his words)

Kathir could feel her smile in her voice which impulsively made him smile wider....

K : sari ipo unmai ah na bathil ah solriya...

M : enathunga ( confused)

K : MBA.... MBA....

M : ( quiet for a second) unmai thanga.. apadi oru pechu vanthuchu.... neenga thappa eduthukathegha...

Sari ah....

Mullai was totally spellbound hearing his thoughts with happy tears again..
Can a guy be sweeter than this to his girl...
Should she say she is so lucky or gifted or both????
Off course she fell for him seeing the pictures just for his manliness...
Just outer appearance...
Just attraction...
Just stronger dose of  attraction....
She doesnt know anything about him...
About his character...
About his attitude...

But in this fifteen minutes time twice he had made her get happy tears....

He is such a darling for sure...

Thank god..
She didnt miss him for her studies....
