Pavi slowly caresses her back..

Azhadha ma..

Ennachu..

Kathir..

Enna kovam avarukku..

M is still crying cursing her stars..

P-Sari veetuku polaam vaa..

M-Ingaya?

P-Illa..Namma veetuku pogalaam va..

Vetri will pacify him..

Or whatever..

Nee vaa yaarachum paakradhukku munnadi..

Paatha, enna edhu nu ellarum keppanga..

Badhil sollanum..

And, his fingerprints are there in your neck too..

Cover it up and come..

She drags M and goes to the home..

M is totally blank..

Pavi gives her some tea..

1st idha kudi..

Kudichitu indha tablet podu..

M does the same without any reaction..

She is so blank and exhausted..

P-Thoongriya konja neram..

M-Thookam varala Pavi..

P-Padu konjam..
Varum..

She belives in the power of medication..

M agrees and closes her eyes and the tablet wins..

Pavi assuring that she has slept, calls Vetri..

He comes with Maha..

Maha jumps to see M..

Pavi pacifies her saying that M is having fever and she is sleeping..

Being a cool kid, Maha agrees..

V-Enna aachu Pavi..

Enakku ennamo onnume purila..

Paatthathum semma shock..

Ivanga edhachum sonnangala?

P-Illa Vetri..

I didnt ask..

Nalla shock la iruka..

Gave her a sleeping pill..

Thoongi ezhundhadhum dhan kekkanum..

And, avanga periyavanga kanla pada koodadhu..

Iva face ah paathale enna enna nu keppaanga..

V-Hmm..Naan pesama papa va park ku kootitu pogava?

P-Ipo venaam..

Ava ezhundhukkattum..

If she is ready to open up, we can..

Paathukalaam..

You better go and talk with Kathir..

I feel like he is more dangerous..

Than we presume..

Or..

Enakku onnum purila..

V-Sari naan paathutu varen..

He moves to the bungalow again..

Kathir is equally fuming..

Time and again he is on the losing side..

Everything is because of one girl and the worst ever part is he is madly in love with her..

Even after all the calamities, he cannot forget her and when he tries to move on rather than forgiving and forgetting drama, she is coming up with a new stuff..

Every..

Damn..

Time..

Why should she?

What's her real motive?

If at all she wants..

His thoughts are interrupted by Vetri's arrival..

V-Enna Kathir aachu?

Andha ponnu vandhadhulendhe nee sari illa..

Epo paathalum thitittu dhan irundha..

Jisha vishayathukku apram ellam maarum nu nenachen...

Maarina maadhiri dhan irundhuchu..

Aana,ipo..

What's happening here?

Enakku onnume purila..

Naanga paathadhoda sari..

Vera yaarachum paathrundha..

Andha ponna pidikalana pesaama iren da..

Yen avakittaye pora..

Idhellam theva illadha prachana..

Mothama ava vandhadhu kku apram nee 4 thadava ooruku vandhuta..

4 times mattume paatha ponna ipdi panradhu thappu Kathir..

That's where K loses his temper..

Nooo..

Naan avala ipa dhan 1st time paakala..

We aren't strangers..

I know her way before you people..

Aana..

He is just fiddling his fingers..

V-Edhu..enna da solra..

Enga da paatha..

K sits in the couch and goes down the memory lane..

At the same time, Mullai wakes up and Maha had slept off..

Pavi asks her the same question..

M-Enakku avara munnadiye theriyum Pavi..

P-Sollu enna dhan prachana nu..

Mullai opens up..

January 12,2016

Place- Korba , Chandigarh

That morning, the woods were filled with an ominous brittle silence...

There was a shriek from the trees that was a branch twisting under the sheer weight of ice..

Wintry trees stood as ballet dancers poised to show the world their grace and strength..

Mullai was driving her vespa in the freaking cold..

Enna 9 mani ku ivlo kuluraa iruku, was her thought..

Cold licked at her face and crept under her clothes, spreading across her skin like the lacy tide on a frigid winter sea..

With purple lips tinged with blue and gently chattering teeth she wrapped her thin coat around her tighter with one hand..

It wasn't working and the vespa was also giving trouble and she tried to manage everything with one hand just to hit over a baleno..

Pochuuuu...

She hit her forehead..

Yaarunu therilaye..

The door of the car got opened and a young man came out of it..

He was wearing a brown coat and a white pant..

His shirt wasn't visible..

He shouted, 'kya aapake paas aankhen nahin hain?'

(Don't you have eyes?)

Mullai saw him with eyes filled with absolute apology..

Iam sorry sir..
Main jaldee mein hoon..

(Iam in a hurry)

The man- Tho....thuu meri gaadi ko takar mar sakhthi hai kya?

(So, u can hit my car.. Is it?)

M-Iam really sorry sir..

It is not my intention..

I was really going in a hurry..

And this cold was making be stumble..

That's why I hit you..

Am so sorry sir..

The man-Varudhu paaru enakku nu ellam..

Mumbles but it is audible to M..

M-Tamizh veraya ivaru..

Sethom...

Iam really sorry sir..

K-Take off the makeup and 1000 kilograms of kajal from your eyes..

So that atleast you can see who is coming opposite..

M lost her temper..

Sir, thanks for your concern..

But, I don't wear kilos of kajal..

Probably your wife will wear it seems..

That's why you are seeing everyone with the same perception and judging..

That's too wrong, sir..

The Man-As if you know..

M-As if you know, sir..

It was you who threw the allegation over me unnecessarily..

I hit your car..

It's my mistake..

I seriously apologize..

But I didn't do it intentionally..

I was about to wrap my sweater tightly and this vespa started behaving in a weird manner..

So, I have lost my balance..

But, from where did the Kajal come?

The man- Kya thum paagal ho?

(Are you mad?)

M- Nahin sir... Main nahin hoon..

(No sir, Iam not..)

The man- Paatha apdi therila..

Now, lady..

Who will pay for the damage?

M-Iam so sorry sir..

I will try to sponsor you a bucket of Asian paint which u can use to paint the car..

Now, bye...

She started her Vespa and flew away..

The man stood there stomping his feet in anger..

Enna thimiru..

Panradhadhaiyum pannitu..

His mind noted the vespa's number..

CG-12 UD 1960

Mullai felt like fuming and guilty as well..

Thevaiye illama kathitomo..

Paravalla..

Avaru pesinadhu thappu dhana..

Inime enga paaka porom..

Paathalum oru sorry kettruvom..

Aanalum, enna paatha avlo kaajal potta maadhiriya iruku..

Enna paathu ipdi sollitaare.. 🤧

She stopped her vespa in the midway just to check her kajal level..

Illa Mulla..

Nee azhaga alava dhan potruka..

Andha aaluku poraama..

Avaru wife apdi poduvanga pola..

Nee vidu..

Aanalum avaru azhagaa irundhaaru la.. 🤤🤤🤤

Shoooo..

Avaru nammala thittirukaaru..

Adhuvum Kajal ku..

Namma povom..

Already namakku late aachu..

She started the vespa again, forgetting the cold weather and stopped in the two wheeler parking lot of the factory..

When she was being questioned, she showed the call letter for the interview and went in..

The receptionist asked her to sit in the waiting hall where almost 40 people were already sitting..

She sat on the chair fidgeting the end of her shawl..

The nervousness clouded her as her turn came near..
