Mullai ran back to the room with the key as if she was an arrow escaping from the bow..

The archer was standing at the same place wondering what made him to pull the string..

It was too tough for him to take control over his whining senses which were already on their peaks..

He had to..

He didn't feel guilty for being rude, atleast he believed so even if he wasn't actually..

For him,he went beyond his limits..

The limits and the lakshman rekha were being drafted by him..

Nonetheless, things can never be undone..

After all, she had to accept the untold..

He didn't know why she was adamant when it comes to confession..

He had seen the love in her several times..

Yet, she didn't convey..

He has to wait for a long time..

He has to travel a long path..

He convinced himself just to keep things aside for the night..

Things weren't worthy to lose his sleep and peace of mind as he didn't know what's running through her mind..

Without knowing head or tail,nhe couldn't jump to any conclusion...

He went back to his room thinking of her frenzy state within his hands..

How her pupils were statically glued to his orbs when he cupped her face..

They didn't even move an inch..

If he could define love, he would have surely define it as her eyes then..

He closed his eyes tightly so that the visage won't go out of his sight..

On the other hand, Mullai also lost her sleep..

She was crying..

She loved him..

She loves him..

She will love him..

But, agreeing the fact is what was killing her from inside..

She could never deny the fact that she was in the euphoric state everytime when he was around..

And it always felt like walking through the clouds when he touched her..

Be it the feathery tap that happened weeks back..

Or the cold press today..

Whatever..

It was him..

It is him..

It will be him..

She really wasn't sure how long she could hide the fact..

She couldn't stop her body or mind which started melting on his touches..

'Mona nilai' (மோனநிலை) was all she could say..

She cried her heart out..

She was in a mess..

Avaru mattum MD ah illana.. is all she could think..

"Beggers can never be choosers Mullai" her mind told her..

She opened the bag and took out the picture of her mother..

(It is written as 'Saraswathi Devi' in the top)

Hugged it and started crying..

Had her mother been alive, things would have been entirely different..

Yen ma poneenga..

Ipdi enna inga thaniya vittutu poiteengale ma..

Neenga irundhurundha vaachum naan I love you kathir nu sollirpene..

Kathi sollirupene..

Avaru enna thottapa..

Andha nimisham..

Neenga enna pidicha maadhiri irundhuchu ma..

En life laye ungala ipa dhan ma ungala miss panren..

Rombave..

Anga porathukku enna avasaram..

Naan epdi iruken, enna panren nu kooda paaka mudila la ungalala..

Enna vida appa dhan ma mukkiyam ungalukku..

Adhaan..

Appa va paathuka poiteenga..

Mulla epdi irundhalum paravala nu..

Illaya ma..

She was ranting and crying and slept off unknowing when by hugging the photo...

The mother who was residing in the poor soul's heart didn't want to let her cry anymore..

She had decided to let that poor soul to confess soon..

******

The golden baby rose up and spreaded up the fingers painting the sky with the hues of orange and yellow..

The rays peeped through the window..

And when M woke up all she could feel was having a cooker over head..

Enna thala ipdi valikkidhu..

She could barely open her eyes and managed to open after a great effort..

Took the mobile to check the time..

It was 8AM..

Aiyo..ivlo nerama..

Enna di Mulla nee..

Ipdiya thoonguva..

She went to the washroom with the stumbled steps..

Time passed by..

When she got ready, she heard a bell sound..

She opened the door to see K who was standing outside with the same puffy eyes...

M-Sorry sir..

Thoongiten pola..

K-Hmm..phone pannen..

Edukalayaa..

Adhan..

Are you okay?

M-Hmm..hmmm.. Yeah am okay sir..

Liar, he uttered in his throat..

Face laam yen ipdi iruku...

Thoongalaya nee..

M-Thoonginen sir..

She was mumbling to herself..

K-Paathale theriyudhu..

Nee rest edukradhuna edu..

I can manage..

Onnum issues illa..

M-Yen sir..

Onnum illa..

Naan varen..

New place la..

Adhunala oru maadhiri porandu porandu..

Ipo I feel better..

Because , Iam freaking seeing your face, she told it loudly to herself..

K-Okay then..

Apa kelambalama..

M-Hmmm... Yes sir..

Iam ready..

And she was about to say something..

Sir..

Ungakitta onnu sollanum..

K-Mmm...theriyum..

Nee enna solla pora nu..

Inime andha maadhiri nadakkadhu..

M-Purila sir..

K-Nethiku nadandha maadhiri..

I know I had crossed my limits..

I shouldn't have done that..

He gave a pause to scratch his eyebrow..

Unkitta harsh ah persuade panna maaten nu sollitu..

Apdi..

Enakke konjam guilty ah dhan..

But don't mind..

This won't happen in future..

But, one thing was the truth..

Illa..

Two..

Onnu, un vishayathula ennala eppodhum nallavana iruka mudiyaadhu..

Second is Iam becoming a puppet in your hands..

I really don't know why am dancing according to your tunes..

Idhukku whether I should be happy or to be sad nu therila..

But you will be happy..

Onnume pannama enna ellame panna vaikira paaru..

Adhukku sonnen..

Avlo dhan..

Idhukku mela pesa onnum illa..

Sari..

Kelambalama..

Or you want to take rest?

M-Illa sir..

Iam coming..

K-Fine..let me wait in the lobby..

You can join..

And he left the room without even looking at her eyes..

She felt disappointed..

Ninnu kekka vendiyadhu dhana..

Enna solla varom nu..

Nee pesatha..

Nethiku nee mattum odi varalaya..

Vitta podhum nu..

Apram manushana irukavanga ipdi dhan pesuvaanga..

Onnu aama nu sollanum..

Illana illa nu solli chapter ah mudikanum..

Rendum illama, kai thottadhum, moochu kaathu mela pattadhum, mezhugu maadhiri urugi poi ninna ipdi dhaan..

Veruthu dhan pogum..

Her heart and mind were fighting and the heart won as it was very happy with the fact that he agreed the fact that he was(is) head over heels for her..

She locked the door and joined him..

The day went very professionally as he didn't even utter a single word to her unnecessarily..

He was constantly thinking or pretending so...

Mullai badly wished to touch the corrugations in his eyebrows and the creases they made just to set everything right..

The day passed by with the same numbness..

The sojourn of the silence was the language of the love..

They didn't want to break it eventhough they wanted to do it whole heartedly..

And the Earth completed one rotation around it's own axis..

Since the work was about to end and they were satisfied with the products and the terms and conditions, K called up Pugazh to visit the factory..

Pugazh agreed and he flew to Saharsa..
