PS HOUSEHOLD

**phone ringing**

K (monologue) : enna iva... Ivlo nerama phone aadikithu.. Engge poita?

He went to the varandah and waited for her to answer the call, it's been long tiring journey and he wants to hear her voice.

Jeeva heard Mullai's phone ringing for a long time and wonders to himself, where was she.

J Mindvoice : Phone adichikithu iruku... Inthe pulleyeh kaanum... Hmm... Pinnaleh veleya ireka poleh...

He looked at the kitchen and called her out,

J : Mullai... Mullai....

M : ah! Varen.. Mama...

She was washing all the vessels and cleaning the kitchen, hence the reason she couldn't hear the phone ringing in her room.

However, she heard Jeeva calling her name and acknowledged him.

J : phone adichikthu iruke pa.. Rombe nerema?

M : oh.. Thanks Mama.. Naa gavanikileh...

She ran to the room to get it, and it went off right before she could answer it.

'Kathir Mama, 3 missed calls', it appeared.

She sighed dissapointedly.

M : ayo avughe thaan, ethene mani'ku varaghe solle call paripanggelo? Aama kadave thorekehnumleh.. Hmm... Seri call panuvum..

'Kathir Mama Calling'

Before she could press the call button, his name appeared on her screen again.

With a big smile she answered.

M : Mama..

His heart stopped a second hearing her calling him like that... with that husky voice... at this hour...

K Mindvoice : Inniki sethen...

M : Mama.....kekeda?...hello...

K : hmm kethuchi kethuchi...

M : aprem yen umm'nu irukingge... Peselamleh..

K : phone edethe odene appadi kuptha... Aprem naa engge peserathu...

M : Yengge? Naa edachum tappa?

Now she got worried, did she say anything wrong..

M Mindvoice : mama'nu thaneh sonnum.. Hmmm

K : mani etheneh ippeh?

M : hmmm... 11pm avathungge... Neenge...

She was cut short by him before she could continue her sentence.

K : 11pm raathiri... Phoneleh... Appadi meduva ore maari 'Mama'nu' kuptha.. Naa enna avaruthu ingge? Ullukulleh innomo panethule..

She smiled shyly.

M Mindvoice : ivaghe irukanggeleh..

M : oh.. Appadiya.. Panathum panathum.. Appeh thaan vithuku sikiram varnamnu thonum...

He took in a deep breath...

K : Mullai athu..

M : ethene maniki varuvighe? Innum late aana phone'ku call paneringgela? Naa roomleh irenda, kaduve thathuniyena kekadu aathan..
Vandeh odeneh phone pannunge.. Naa vandu kadeve thorekeren.
Seriya?

He didn't know how to break it to her.

K : illeh.. Paravaleh.. Hmm... Nee toonge...

M : hmm aama late avunah toongireven thaan.. Athan call paneh sonnehnge..

K : Mullai... Hmm.. Paravaleh.. Toonge.. Naa inniki raathiri.. Hmm..

He couldn't say it, so he kept mum. Hoping she would catch the drift.

M : Inniki raathiri.... ?

She asked worriedly.

K : Inniki raathiri.. Vareh mudiyuma'nu terileh..
