Mullai then, rode the bike to the shop and once she reaches, she realised both bikes were not there.

A little dissapointed even though she already knew he won't be there but she hoped he might be there by the time she reaches.

Moorthy was sitting at the counter, he immediately smiled looking at Mullai walking inside.

He realised she looked a little worried and apprehensive.

Moorthy Mindvoice : Inthe pulleh innum kalaileh nadendathe nenechi kithu ireka poleh..

Moorthy : Mullai.. Vaa pa..

M : Mama..

She was still little worried to talk to Moorthy after the ring confrontation that morning, though Kathir told he would explain to Moorthy, she wasn't sure if that explanation already took place or not.

Moorthy : mullai.. Konjum neram bank varaikum poithe vanderelama? Jeeva ore veleya velileh poirekan... Nee vaariyapa? Neeyum kadai samande pathe vishiyam ellam konjum therinjikithe maari irekum.. (proud smile)

M : athu Mama.. Naana? Yennayeva?

She was really confused with Moorthy's calm and friendly behaviour after the commotion happened at home that morning..

Moorthy : Aama pa.. Vere yaare ingge ireka? Hahaha... Seri vaa pa Mullai..
Ore ethe poitu vanderevum...
Mama! Konjem neram kadaiyeh paathukongge.. Naa ingge bank'ku poithu vanderen Mullai kude!

Kumaresan Appa : Ey Mullai.. Nee chapthiya?

M : sapthen pa...

Moorthy : Vaa pa... Ah.. Neeye bike othu..

M : athu Mama.. Naa.. Unggele.. Eppadi?

Moorthy : Yen pa? Kathir pinnaleh vakanda than inthe vandi oduma?
Naangelam vakanda povada pa?
Hahahaha!

She blushed but still laughed at what Moorthy joked.

M : ayo Mama .. Appadilam illeh.. Vaange polam..

Few minutes after they started off from the shop, Moorthy decided to talk to her.

Moorthy : Mullai... Enneh manichiru pa..

M : ah? Mama? Enna?

She was confused whether she heard him right while riding.

Moorthy : Kalaileh unneh unmai theriyama thithithen.. Manichiru pa..

M : Mama.. Athu..

Now she understood the change in Moorthy. Kathir had talked to his brother and explained the truth behind her ring story.

Moorthy : Nee ethuvum manasula vachikathe pa.. Unne purinjikame rombe thithithen..
Naa paathu valathe ponnu Nee..
Unneh eppadi naa tappa nenekilam?..
Unkithe kaarnam ketherkenum...
Athe seyiyama, yosikameh.. Cheh..

She stopped the bike at the side of the road near the bank.

M : Mama, appadilam solladingge.. Chinnavangge tappu senja, Periyavangge neenge thaan kandike mudiyum..
Ungge mele ennaku nereya mariyathe iruku Mama..
Naa senjithu seri'nu solle varle aana, anthe nerathile athu tappu'nu thoneleh..
Enne manichirngge Mama..

Moorthy : Enna pa Nee..
Naa ingge naa senjithu tappu'nu solren..
Nee ennana en kithe manipu kekere..
Nee senjithu tappu na..
Unneh inthe aluvuku konde vanthe engge melayum tappu iruku..

M : Mama.. Appeh tappu'ku tappu seriya pochi Mama.. (smile)

Moorthy : paarda! Hahaha.. Hmm seri pa..

Both of them walked to the Bank, after few minutes Mullai helped Moorthy to settle some shop related transaction.

Then, Moorthy requested her to do something else,

Moorthy: Mullai, inthe ATM card apply pannunom, athe eppadi'nu kethuthu, form edachum irenda eduthu vapa..

M : Seri.. Mama

Moorthy : Aama Mullai.. Unneke inthe bank'leh account ireka?

M: Aama Mama.. Iruku...

Moorthy : Inthe card?

M : ATM card ah? illeh Mama..

Moorthy (monologue) : oh..

Moorthy Mindvoice : Inthe payallungge rende peruyum, Inthe pullenggeh perle kaasu pode sollithu, ore card edekeh vachitha..
Percheneh illeh (proud smile)

M : Mama, vere edachum iruka Mama?
Inthe papers ellam seriya iruku, inthangge..

Moorthy : seri pa, Nee kadaiku kelambu, Kumerasan Mama thaniya iruparu..
Konje neram kadaileh irekiya pa? Naa ingge ore veleya poithu vanderen..
Naa aprem kadaiku varen..

M : Seri Mama..

Mullai left the bank with a smile.

While still riding the bike towards the shop , she tried to decipher somethings Moorthy meant during their stay in the bank, she didn't understand his notion behind his words.

However, she understood Moorthy knows the truth and had accepted her decision of selling her Ring had its own merit.

M Mindvoice : Nambe kithe sonne maathiri periya mama kithe pesithaghe (smile).. Periya Mama'vum purinjikitaru.. Appadah! Nimmadiya ireku!! Sandosama iruku!! Ayo Yen Chellam!!

M Manasatchi : adiyeh! Road'eh paatu othe di.. Vitle poi un mama'neh konjikelam.. Athan raathiri vanthe pathukeren sollithu poirkaruleh..

That stopped her thought process all together! Stunned realising what might happen tonight..

M : ayaiyo.. Appadi vere sollithu poirkaghe.. Appeh raathiri vanda.. Hmm..

The entire Kunnakudi traffic would have stopped looking at her blushing red!

M Manasatchi : athu raathiri paathukelam.. Ippeh Road'eh paaru!
