Two days rolled by..

The family which was scattered got joined together..

Ashu had loads of stories to tell his grandparents..

They had too..

The spirits were high..

Mullai and Dheena didn't talk much..

They had their talks.. Formal ones..

The charm wasn't there..

He actually wanted to talk to her..

Something, stopped him..

Mullai was waiting for a perfect scenario to convince him..

To her luck, Dheena's birthday was coming in a week..

She had planned to throw a party for him at home..

She had planned to seek apologies on his birthday..

Super Mulla..

She patted herself..

She knew well that whatever happened between them, he won't be saying no to anything she ask..

So do her apologies..

She secretly planned everything well..

It's his birthday..!!

MuP and Ashu wish him..

He actually wishes that Mullai will wish him by 12..

She doesn't..

She wishes him by morning 8AM..

He is truly disappointed..

The face itself shows his disappointed..

Mullai's eyes capture this..

She smiles inside..

They reach the office as usual..

The work goes on..

By evening 3, she calls him..

Dheena..

Pallapalayam la edho dowry case issue aam..

Naan anga poganum..

Nee variya?

Dheena nods no..

She knows this answer would come..

Nee vera engayavathu poriya?

Dh-Aama..Naan Brookefields mall poren..

Edho book launch aame..

Adhaan..

Nee epdi..

Thaniyava pora?

M-Illa..Ramya is coming..

Dh-Is she here? Naan pakave illaye..

M-She is already outside..

She ll come to the spot directly..

Dh-Sari paathu poitu vaa..

Edhachum na call pannu..

M-Haan sari..

Naan varen..

She moves out of the cabin...

Dh-Iva irukaale..

He smiles and goes to see his works..

Mullai goes to the home..

She makes the arrangements and waits for him..

MuP laugh on seeing her efforts to make Dh smile..

She finishes everything and calls him..

Dheena, enga iruka?

Dh-Ipo dhan kelambren.. Nee enga iruka?

Veetuku poitiya?

M-Hmm..Ipo dhan vandhen..

Adhan nee innum varalaiya nu kekka call pannen..

Ashu kettute irukaan unna..

Dh-Ashu dhan thedraana?

M-Hmmm..

Dh-Sari vandhuruven innum oru half an hour la..

M-Hmm..Sari..bye..

She disconnects the call with a smile..

Once Dheena enters the home, the balloons are blasted, the poppers are triggered and he is showered with glitters and flowers..

He is truly surprised..

Mullai brings the cake and asks him to open it..

It has 'Happy birthday my dear guardian angel' written on it..

Dheena's eyes are trembling up actually...

He blinks several times to control the tears..

He cuts the cake, distributes it..

They all have fun together..

Post dinner, after Ashu sleeps off, Dheena enters the room and see s the walls of the room filled with notes saying 'SORRY'..

He turns just to see Mullai standing near the door with pleading eyes..

He looks at her..

He can't hold his anger anymore..

She runs and hugs him..

Sorryyyy daa...

Her guilt is coming out as salty tears..

Iam sorry da..

Edho oru..

He stops her..

Vidu..

Podhum..

Adha pathi inime pesa venaam..

She cries uncontrollably..

He caresses her hair as if the touch soothes her and gives the relief from her fresh wounds..

The moon brings the much needed serenity to them..

It gives them the restfulness above to calm the souls..

******
The once orange and yellow sky has transformed into a wide jet-blank blanket that covers the town of Kunnakudi..

Kanna who is surfing his mobile in his room just checks the whatsapp..

He sees the status of his Mullai anni..

She posted a pic of herself and Dheena along with Ashu with a caption,

"Happy Birthday Dheena..
I can't thank you enough for all the roles you play in my life..
I love you so much because there is no because❤️"

Kanna smiles on seeing it..

He remembers her..

The days with her..

All the memories are flashing infront of him as if they happened hours ago..

The last meet at KK..

Few days before she left the town..

Near the temple..

She didn't give any hint then..

She spoke as if she was very normal..

They both had the thengai together..

Anni..

Enna anni panreenga..

Thengaaya inga kudunga..

Odachu enakku tharen nu sollitu neengale saapadreengale..

Enakku thaanga anni..

M-Yen da..Adhan ellam mudinju poche..

Innum yen da Anni, anni nu yelam podra?

Ka-Jeeva annanukkum ungalukkum..

He paused..

Adhanala dhan anni nu koopda aarambichen..

Aana ipa maathika mudiyala..

Yaar enakku anniya vandhalum, neenga enakku anni dhan..

Adhunala, ipdi pechu maathradha vittutu thengaaya kudunga inga..

Enna yemathaalam nu paakreeyalaakkum..

M-Vaaya paaru..

Indhaa..

Nalla iruka nu paathen..

Adhukku poi..

Indha saapdu..

She gave it to him..

He started eating..

She had the urge to caress his hair and to say bye..

She didn't..

She knew well that he is more clever than everyone in the PS family..

Ivanta sonna ooruke solliduvaan..

Vendaam..

They started walking back to the homes..

Mullai stopped in the midway..

She felt like puking..

Ka-Ennachu anni?

M-Unakku thengaa tharalanu thittiniya..

Adhan ennamo pannudhu..

Ka-No..Enna vittutu sapda nenacheenga la..

Adhaan..

M-Ada paavi..

Unna..

They had some moments together and left back to their respective homes..

Kanna wasn't aware of anything about her CBE plans then..

If he had known, things would have been entirely different..

After reaching CBE , she didn't contact him..

Her number was not in use..

He was scared actually..

But then, he knew well that Mullai was not a poltroon..

She isn't now even..

She then called him one day after 3-4 months..

From a new number..

Kanna was filled with mixed emotions..

His voice broke..

Annniiii...

M-Dei azhadha da..

Phone number maathiten..

Adhana call pannen..

Ipdi azhudhute irundha na phone ah vachiruven paathuko..

Kanna wiped off his tears..

Illa illa..

Naan azhuvala..

Neenga pesave ilaye ivlo naala..

Anniku enkooda koviluku vandhapa kooda sollala edhume..

Epo ooruku kelambineenga..

Enga irukeenga..

Yen ethume sollala..

Naan evlo thedinen theriyuma?

His love towards her was flowing mellifluously in an innocent way..

They spoke for sometime and disconnected the call..

And they kept in touch..

Time ran slowly..

Kanna joined the college..

She wished him the best luck..

The college life was going quite good..

Ashu was born..

Again the connection got disconnected as she was thoroughly depressed..

Days went and again they got connected..

She rejoined the office..

Things got better..

He was a playful kid to her until he called and told her about Abi..

M couldn't accept the fact that he was a grown-up then..

Dei, enna da solra?

Ka-Aama anni..

Romba pidichiruku..

Aana, enna panradhu, enna nu therila..

M-Iru da.. Iru..

Nee modhalla sonna news ey enakku innum moolai ku poi serala..

Wait pannu da..

She took several minutes to grasp what he said..

Ipo sollu da..

Ka-Anni..adhan..

Abi ah romba pidichiruku..

M-Adhan sonniye..

Adha avakita sonniyaa..

Ka-Illa..Bayama iruku..

M-Enna da bayam?

Ka-No sollitaa?

M-Dei, idhellam oru bayama da?

Irukku nu nenachu, sandhoshama irundhutu, ellam kaiya vittu porapa iruka vali romba koduma da kanna..

Apram namakku oru vaaipu kedachirukalame nu feel panradhu abatham..

Kedaikave kedaikaadhu..

Nee modhalla poi naalaiku andha ponnu kitta sollu..

Thada thada nu vishayatha pottu odaikama, naasukkaa, aana vishayam puriyara maadhiri sollu..

Sollitu ava enna solraalo apram paathukalam..

Oruvela time kettaa, kudu..

Okay ah?

Sollitu enta sollu..

Ipo work iruku..

Apram pesren..

Bye..

Kanna was actually nervous..

He was known for his comic sense..

He became serious and silent only after the fiasco that happened at his house..

But this was a new thing to him..

Anyways, he believed Mullai..

He gave his proposal to Abi, the next day..

Abi, to his surprise, accepted immediately..

After all, she was madly in love with him already..

He informed her and M was super happy for him..

The new love birds in were flying through the colourful sky..

Days rolled by..

The issue started when Abi's parents urged her to get married..

She immediately informed Kanna..

Kanna asked M for the suggestions..

M asked him to open up it to L amma..

She knew that L amma alone had some brain to think in a normal way..

And then, she won't let her son down..

Her guess was correct..

L amma was surprised at first..

But then, she accepted it immediately and she didn't want any fiasco to happen..

To her age, she has seen enough..

Enough pain..

Enough turmoil..

Enough sleepless nights..

Enough humiliation..

When DM argued, she did shut them off by saying,

Avanukku pidichiruku..

Andha ponnukum pidichirukku..

Idhukku mela enna venum..

Yen, Jeeva um kaadhalichu dhana kattitu vandhaan..

Avana thaduka mudinjudha ungalala?

Illa dhana?

Ipa ivakukku mattum yen solreenga..

Ipo avanga veetla poi neenga pesreengala..

Illa naan pogava?

DM had no other options..

They went..

They actually expected a commotion..

To their surprise, Abi's parents immediately agreed..

They didn't know how..

Even now..

After all these years..

Little they knew is, Abi's father had an civil case with his supermarket..

The area where he built the mart was said be to somebody else's place..

He went to Pavithra for his case, as she was the leading advocate who was shuttling between CBE and Karaikudi then..

She readily accepted the case and won it for him..

Kanna was telling about the case casually to Mullai..

Mullai asked Pavithra to convince them for the wedding of Kanna and Abi..

Pavi didn't budge at first..

She really hated the PS family..

But then, M told her about Kanna..

How different he is from others..

How much he means to her..

Pavi wasn't easily convinced..

Yet, she agreed to do for Mullai's sake..

Since Pavithra herself asked Abi's parents for a favour and as she said highly about Kanna, they happily agreed..

After all, they want their daughter to be happy..

The wedding things started..

Kanna really wanted to meet M in person and to invite her..

When, DM asked him not to travel, he opposed him..

Illa anni, naan poven CBE..

Anga enakku mukkiyamana 4 friends irukaanga..

Kooptu dhan aaganum..

He opposed them and went to meet M..

Dheena was out of the station then..

Ka knew it..

He asked M and then only he planned accordingly..

M broke and tore the masks she was wearing till then..

The true emotions came out when they met..

They talked about their own lives than discussing about others..

Kanna cried like a toddler seeing the mother after a long time..

Mullai comforted him..

Rather, she comforted herself..

They pacified themselves tbh..

They spent hours together..

They spoke about everything under the universe except the PS family..

When he gave her the invitation, she felt the warmth in her heart..

He actually wanted her to come..

To celebrate his wedding..

But..

She couldn't..

She didn't..

She didn't want fiascos anymore..

Illa da Kanna..

Naan anga varadhu...

Ippothaikku saathiyame illadha vishayam..

Paapom..

Naan enga iruken nu unaku theriyum..

Abi ta pesren naan..

By then, they had several conference calls..

Mullai never told them that she was the reason for their marriage..

Kanna was disappointed..

Neenga varuveenga nu nenachen nan..

Adhaan nerla vandhen..

M taps his shoulder..

Puriyudhu da..

Aana, andha oora nenachaale..

Her body was vibrating..

His anger towards his family got increased..

They were the sole responsibility for this..

If they didn't, Mullai would have joined his wedding..

Knowing what was running through his mind, she smiled at him..

"Abi ya nalla paathuko da kanna..

Avala kashtapaduthidaadha epodhum..

Chinna ponnu da ava..

Naan kalyanathukku vara mudiyadhu dhan..

Aana adhukkaga unna marakka maaten eppodhum..

Nyabagam irundhute dhan da irukum..

Apram..

Yaarkittayum kova padaadha..

Avanga avanga santharppam avanga avangala thappavo sariyavo kaatudhu..

Kaalam badhil sollum da kanna"

He had to agree..

He didn't want to compel her..

He came back home..

She even gave them the tickets to Kulu-Manali for their honeymoon as wedding gift..

Abi knew nothing literally except the facts that Mullai is Kanna's cousin and she didn't want to be in touch with the PS family after the famous wedding calamity and she is happily settled over in CBE now..

Days roll by..

Months fly..

Years pass by..

Kanna wanted everything to be in a low-key..

But, Jeeva was leading a happy life..

The fact irks him..

He wanted him, them, everyone to cry..

When he came to know that Jeeva already dwells in his world of guilt for his mistakes, he felt happy..

And then, kathir..

How could he be guilt free after rejecting Mullai and Nisha?

His thoughts switch over to Kathir..

He still didn't know why he cried that day..

He wanted to ask Mullai about this issue..

Anni yen edhuvume sollala?

Kathir annan chumma laam azhaadhu..

Adhuvum apdi..

Edho nadandhurukku..

Anniyum amaidhiyave irukaanga..

Enna nu therila..

He thinks and thinks just to untie the knot..

She knows well that Kanna will hit Kathir for sure if at all, she tells him what happened...

Even if it happened on the mutual consent, he won't believe K..

Hmmpphhh...

Avana solli kutham illa..

Ellaam..

Andha kudumbathu history apdi..

She tells herself and tries to conceal it from him..

Kanna, staring at the sky knows that the same stars that twinkle in the kunnakudi will be twinkling in Tiruppur and CBE..

Seeing the family paying off for everything isn't enough for him..

Varusha varusham oppari mattum vaikiraangale..

Oru thadava..

Oru thadavayaachum avanga enga nu thedraangala..

Theda kooda venaam..

Muyarchi aachum...

Illa..

Andha nenaipaachum varudhaa..

Illa la..

Apdiye irunga..

Paava kanakka sethutte ponga..

Evlo periya veedu katnaalum pathaadhu..

Nimmathiye irukadhu..

Their silence towards this issue and their yearly cries kindle up his sadistic pleasure...

He concerns about his Anni and nobody else..

He wishes them to see her once..

Atleast once..

Paakatum..

Annaiku iruku scene..

He badly waits for that one day..

Unknowing that the day is on it's way..

Kannaadi yendrum udainthaalum kooda..
Bimbangal kaatum paarkindren..
Puyal pona pinnum puthu pookkal pookum..
Ilavenil varai naan irukindren..

-Will recur..
