The next two days went with the same flow as nothing new happened..

That was a weekend too..

So, there was no chance for anything likely to happen...

The sulky mode was on between them even if they didn't want to..

The only communication happened between them was about the office and it was a pure typical MD- Secretary relationship..

They did notice but didn't want to break it for God knows why reason..

****

Monday bloomed with usual blues..

M reached late..

Where Kathir was already fuming for the things that happened at the factory..

When she entered, he didn't even look at her..

Not to blame him..

But the other things had took him completely occupied..

He should have seen her face..

Atleast for once..

But..

Hmmm..

Whom to blame?

But, why should blame?

After all, it was going to bring a new fortune..

M-Good morning sir..

Her voice was so weak and pathetic..

To be very honest, he didn't notice it at first..

Good morning..

Enakku onnu pannunga..

You take the reports that has to be sent to for the monthly audit..

I need to check them..

Illana adhu vera..

It ll become a burden when dumped..

So, adha pannidunga..

Pannitu, take the detailed reports of our employees..

I really want to know about their details with their remunerations as well..

Apram...

His eyes were adhered with the system anyways..

Andha paper la laam news kudukka sonnen la..

Recruitment process ku..

Do that and send me through mail..

I'll authorize and shall ask the GM to carry forward..

Okay..

Clear?

Go..

Carry on..

M didnt know what to do...

She wanted to tell him something..

But she didn't..

She didn't want to seek for sympathy..

She wasn't able to work..

Every second when her eyes met the system, a flicker of pain hit her head..

Tears were rolling down through her cheeks involuntarily..

She managed to work and gave him the reports..

He didn't even see her face again..

He was into the reports..

Nee velaiya paaru..

Naan sign pannikren..

He lifted his face to see her as he heard a hissing sound..

But then, she turned and was moving towards her system..

He left it there itself..

****

When he came back from lunch, she was holding her forehead with her hands..

Tears were rolling..

She was closing her eyes..

K saw her from the entrance..

Ennachu ivalukku..

Yen ipdi irukaa?

He thought for a minute and he could recollect that she didn't even utter a single word from morning..

Enna aachu ivalukku..

Adei..

Idha koodava gavanika maata..

Enna nu therilaye..

Namma vera pesave illaye 3 naala..

Ketta badhil solvala?

Illa vazhakkam pola thimira badhil varuma?

Keppoma venama?

He was battling with himself..

And then, he closed the door and went near his seat..

K-Personal secretary Madam..

His voice was so plain..

It didn't have any emotion..

M got back her senses..

She wiped her tears..

She turned towards him..

Sorry sir..

Naan gavanikama irundhadhu thappu dhan..

Iam really sorry..

Neenga sonna maadhiri, Iam not a fit candidate for this position..

I'll go to GM sir as we have the bond thing...

Thittadheenga sir, please..

She said with a pleading voice..

K was really irritated this time..

Naan apdi sonnenaa?

Don't you have that habit of listening?

Neeyaave pesra..

M-Adhan sorry sollitene sir..

K-Oh.. Romba nalladhu..

Unna anga maathradhukku ennala aana help naan panren..

Ipo velaiya paakalam..

Btw, yen azhareenga nu naan therinjikalaama?

M-Adhu.. Headache sir..

K-Oh..Take a tablet then..

Adhayum sollanuma?

Illa neengale eduthupeengala?

M was silent..

K rang the bell to which the arrival of the attender was the response..

Give her a tablet for headache..

He said in a robotic voice..

He obliged and gave her one..

After that, Kathir saw her now and then but she was terribly suffering it seemed explicitly..

She was working and keeping herself engaged until she gave him all the reports he asked..

K-Edhachum venuma madam?

Illa okay ah?

He was really concerned..

But she didn't budge..

She just nodded her head as no and went working..

K clenched his teeth tighter just not to burst out..

The same issue continued till evening..

She went home before him..

He had some meeting and he kept himself retained at the office..

After his meeting, he came back to the room which was filled by her resonance..

And the tablet was kept still in the same place..

Thimiru..

Udambu full ah thimiru..

Oru vaartha pesa mudiyala..

Apdiye vachutu poirukaa tablet ah..

Apdiyachum vela seiyalanu yaaru sonnanga..

Ivala..

He tried to hard to control his anger..

He before leaving the cabin, noted her number from the database and went home..

While having dinner, her puffy face was flashing infront of him..

He managed to eat what his place had already and left to his room..

After walking and counting the number of tiles in his room for 1 hour, he decided to call her..

Pannalama vendaamaa..

Panna pesuvaala?

Illa nee yaaru da nu keppaala..

Cha cha..

Nalla ponnu..

Apdi kekka maata..

Aana kettutaa..

Haan..naan un MD nu sollikalam..

Aana office la mattum dhan MD nu pesuvale.. 🙄😑

Sari pesuvom..

Ava response ah poruthu namma pesuvom..

Pinra da kathiru..

He patted himself..

After controlling his thudding heart, he dialled her number..

She picked up after 3-4 rings..

Hello, Sir..Sollunga..

K- 😳😳😳😳

M-Hello..

Sir, kekkudhaa?

Her voice was so feable..

K-Iruken.. En number unakku epdi theriyum 🙄🙄

M-Adhan oru naalaiku 100 mail anuprene sir..

Adhula dhan number iruke keezha..

K-Hmm?

Venumnu unga number ah naan manappadam pannala..

K-Naan..Adha sollave illaye..

M-Aduthu solluveengale..

K laughed..

M-Edhukku sirikreenga?

K-Illa unna 1st day pathapa onnu ketten..

Adhu nyabagam irukaa?

M-Edhu? Kajal ah?

K-Adhuvum iruku la..

Aana ipa adha kekkala naan..

Vera onnu..

M-Ennadhu?

K- Kya tum paagal ho?

(Are you mad?)

M-Main nahin, sir nu annike sonnene..

(Iam not, sir)

K-Adhu mattumaa sonna?

M bit her lower lip..

She knew well that she didn't tell that alone..

K-Enna madam..

Amaidhiya irukeenga?

M-Onnum illa sir..

Aana idha kekkava phone panneenga..

If that's the case, shall talk to you tomorrow..

Yen na, thala valikkidhu sir..

K-Adhan.. Tablet kudutha poda maatome namma..

M-Apdi illa..

K-Vera epdi?

M-Adhan unga velaiyellam correct ah mudichitene..

K-Adhukaga thala vali oda irukalama?

Idhu enna logic?

M-Neenga 3 naala pesama irundheengale..

Adhe logic dhan..

She let out the words..

K laughed again...

She was embarrassed..

K-Ab mujhe yakeen ho gaya ki tum pagal ho..
(Now am sure that you are mad)

With a laugh, he disconnected the call leaving her clueless..
