Papa Moyen (Saraasari Appa)

Five of them had a fantastic time riding their bicycles around Rameswaram until evening. They arrived at Karunai Illam by night, refreshed, and ate dinner with the children. Kailayanathan, Alex, and Bharathan got along well with Sailaja, Sam, and Zurich. They all spoke joyfully till late at night, then retired to their bedrooms.

(Next day)

Sailaja took the day off, and the six of them visited the well-known Ramanathaswamy temple in the morning. After touring the temple, they went to numerous tourist attractions and arrived at Karunai Illam before evening, as Kailayanathan had intended to leave for Chennai that evening.

Kai: Mariam indha. 😊

Mar: Ennadhidhu Mr Kailayanathan? 🙄

Kai: Enna question idhu? It's a cheque. 😊

Mar: It's a blank cheque. 🙄

Kai: Eduthukko Mariam, ishtapatta amount-eh fill pannikko. Ellam indha kolandhaingalukkagadhan. 😊

Kai: Un pidivaadham maarave ille. 😊

Kailayanathan wrote a generous amount and handed it to Mariam.

Mar: Sollaporingala Sailajakitte? 🙂

Kailayanathan sighed.

Kai: Pesi paarkuren, adhukku pinnadi avaloda ishtam. Neeyum konjam sollipaaru aana force pannavendam Mariam. 🙂

Mar: Kandippa. 🙂

Kai: Enge irukka? 🙂

Mar: Ippodhan cricket vellandu mudichittu ellam avangavanga room-le refresh aaguranga. 🙂

Kai: Seri naan avale poyi paarkuren. 🙂

Kailayanathan went inside Sailaja's room and noticed her folding her clothing on the bed.

Kai: Varalama Sailaja? 😊

Sai: Appa, ennapa permission ellam ketukutu? Ulle vaanga. 😊

Kailayanathan moved to sit on the bed.

Kai: Idhukkaprom unnoda future plans enna? 😊

Sai: 🤔 School poganum, Thakali aprom Sambumavanoda nalla oor suthanum. Sister-eyum indha illathayum nalla paarthukanum, avlodhan. 🤷‍♀️

Kai: Appo indha love aprom kalyanam ellam? 😊

Sai: Adhellam epdi plan panradhu? Adhuva nadakkarappa nadakkatum. 😊

There was a moment of stillness.

Sai: 😳

Kai: Seri nee yosi naan unakku space kudukkuren. 😊

Kailayanathan went away, leaving Sailaja in complete shock and a single tear in her eye.

(Living room)

Mariam noticed Kailayanathan coming downstairs.

Mar: Pesuningala Mr Kailayanathan? Sailaja enna sonna? 🙄

Kai: Naan sollavendiyadhu ellam avakitte solliten. Yosichi aprom answer panna sollirukken. Neeyum konjam pesipaaru, but force pannavendam Mariam. 😊

Sam: Avaru unne edhachum sonnara, sollu Elikunji. 🤨

Sailaja grasped Sam's hand.

Mar: Naan nenaichen nee endha answer-ah irundhalum dhairiyama solliduvennu. Nee ipdi azhuvenu therinjirundha naan Mr Kailayanathane pesavendamnu sollirupen. 🙂

Sailaja brushed away her tears and lost herself in thinking. After a while, she got out of bed.

Sai: Naan poyi pesittu varen. 😐

(Kailayanathan's room)

Kailayanathan was prepared for his departure.

Sai: Appa. 😐

Kai: 🙄 Vaama. 😊

Sailaja moved hesitantly inside the room.

Sai: 4 conditions irukku. 😐

Kailayanathan's expression brightens.

Sai: Number 1, indha illathukku neenga monthly oru thogaiye donation-ah kudukkanum. 😐

Kai: Okay. 😊
