Mullai is fed up of getting shocked for each and every thing kathir says but cant help it this time...

She stared at the photo in her hand...

It was her solo photo taken during her engagement with jeeva...

She was so gleaming in happiness with silk saree,jewels and flowers. Her smile was wide with sandal applied in her cheeks and kumkum in forehead...

M : ithu epadi ungakita.???

K : namma kalyanam mudinju konja nall kalichu anni anna kita intha photos elam kuduthu erika solitanga.. veetula ericha yaravathu papanga thevai illama sangadam varum nu... anne kadaiku eduthutu vanthuchu.. appo na intha photos ah paathuten.. na paathatha anna vum paathuduchu.. apo tha solichu atha erikanum nu... enamo enaku manasu kekala... itha mattum annanuku theriyama eduthu vechukitten... anna mathathelam erichiduchu....

Kathir went back to the same position again.. Mullai too shifted near him clutching his arms with her right hand and photo in another hand.. both were looking at the photo.
Tears started dropping from her eyes..

K : ei ethuku alara ipo...

M : enamo theriyala..

K : paaru palasa pathi pesina chumma chumma aluva.. vidu.. pothum pesinathu...

M : illainga.. enaku theriyanum.. neenga ena elam nenachenga nu theriyanum.. na ala matten.. solunga... ( wiping her tears stubbornly)

Aama intha photo epo ungakita kedachuthu...

K : namma pongal ku oorku poitu vantha adutha nall...

Mullai remembered how she insulted him in pongal...
Inspite of that he has secured this picture of hers...
Tears were about to roll down but she controlled herself...
This is not time for tears... This is time for truth...

She turned to see kathir..
He was admiringly looking at the picture...
she was suprised to see this..
she cant help thinking how this guy looks wife's picture that was taken in her engagement with someone else so lovably....

Kathir continued again...

K : ( continues to see the photo and starts speaking )

Ithula oru thani alagu, amaithi iruku unkita..
Enamo intha photo paaka enaku romba pidikum..
Mansasukula oru santhosham varum.. mukiyama antha kanathula santhanam...
Hmm aapadi iruku....

Sila samaiyam yosipen intha madhiri oru alangarathula, ipadi mogathula santhanam elam pusi una pakanum nu..
Hmm ena panrathu.. namma kalyanam epadi epadiyo nadanthuchu.. appo na una pakara, rasikara mana nilai la illaa...
Athuku tha ini Vera vali illaye..
Athu tha adikadi intha photo eduthu paathupen...
( a dull smile)

M mindvoice : ( ena madhiri anbu ivughaluthu.. moochu motuthu enaku.. verupa kaatina kathir ah kuda thangikalam.. intha kan moodi thanama pasam kaatara kathir ah enala thangika mudiyala... )

Mullai opened and closed her eyes once firmly to lock the tears inside.. She sensed a tinge of helplessness and disappointment in his tone when he said vera vali illaye... she didnt like it.. she wanted him happy and peaceful always...

M : ungaluku ena ipadi ena pakanum athu than eh.. ithu oru periya vishayama.. paathudalam...

K : ( smiling ) epadi madam intha alangaram pani, santhanam elam thadavi kaata porengala???

M : ithum nalla idea than...aana na sola vanthathu ithu illaa...

K : puriyala... appuram??

M : namma oor la elam valaikappu kum ipadi tha alangaram panuvanga.. santhanam pusuvanga.. appo pathukonga...

Ungalukaga vena neraya valaikappu panikalam...( with a blushy smile)

Kathir's face lit with a broad loving smile with his wife's idea...

K : ei aama illa...na yosikave illaa athelam.. appo enaku inum chance iruku ipadi una paaka nu sollu... ( delighted like a kid)

Mullai smiled at his child like behaviour and hugged him tight....

K: ( whispered in her ears) neraya thadavai...

Mullai just nodded her head with a heavy blushy smile... kathir eyed her blush enthusiastically and continued...

K : haan athu sari enga vitten...

Appuram neraya time alaga iruke nu nenachu paathuruken... first ellam ne paakathapo mattum paapen.. getha vida kudathu illa..

Both of them smile...

K : Appuram neyum paka arambichathuku appuram getha pathi elam yosikala...
paathute irupome..
Hmmm.. nenachale enamo panuthu...

Mullai who was drowned in mixed emotions smiled with those words and remembered their eye locks and how she felt that time..

M : aamanga... athu oru vithiyasamana feeling.. aana athu ipo illala...

K : (Shakes his head as no)
hmmm suthama illa..
Athu than kadhalukum kalyanathukum iruka vithiyasam pola....

M : enga onnu kekatuma???

K : kelu.. ethuku permission kekare....

M : illlaa... athu vanthu... enaku jeeva mama kuda engagement anapo kashtama irunthucha ungaluku...

K : itha keka en ivalo thayangare ....
