Days went very casually for the whole PS Family after that for some months! Both Kathir and Mullai were enjoying their days with their cute loves everyday!

One fine night, both KM was having their usual fun talk before their sleep! As usual Kathir on his paiyi and Mullai on the bed! They were having a peaceful sleep!

At a deep sleep, suddenly, Mullai's alarm rang! Both Mullai and Kathir woke up!

M (mindvoice): Aiyooo ivangelum entrichithangele! Enna seirathu ippo? Samalipom!

K: (with half sleepy eyes) Enna Ma? Ippo poiyi alarm lam adikithu?

M: Athu.....irunge varen! (wakes up and goes to switch on the light)

K: Ey! Yen light ippo? Thungeleya? Mani enna aachi? (sees the time in his mobile) 12 aachi Mulla!

She doesn't hear whatever he was asking! She on the light and went to the shelf!

K: Naan inge kethuthe iruken le? Ange enna seire? Light off panithu....vanthu thungeriya! Nalaiki......ka....

She turned in a jiff and told....

M: Kadaiku pogenum....thongurathe illaiya nu thanne keke poringe! Konjam irungelen!

She came near him and sat comfortably in front of him on the paayi!

K: Enna Mulla? Inge.....yen.....okkarure.... ippo? (Kathir moves back a little)

She showed her right hand towards him as if shacking hands!

M: Kai kudunge Nghe!

K: Kai ya? Enna ippe?

M: Ada kudunge soldren! (he shaked his hand with hers)

M: EN CHELLATHUKU....INIYA PIRANTHA NAAL VALTHUKAL!

(still hand in hand)

K: Ethu? Porantha naal ah? Ennaka?

M: Aama! Inniki....August 1 le! Ungeluku porantha naal tha!

K: Kandipa santhosama irupen! Nee en kuduve iruntha pothum....ellame nallathave tha nadakum! (with little tears)

M: Yenghe? Azhuringela? Irukame enge pogide poren!

K: Azhuvurena? Cheh...illaiye! Light eh feelings! (smiles)

M: Paarda!

K: Rombe Thanks Ma! Naan ithe ethirpaarkeve illai! Ippedilam sharp ah 12 maniki.....yaarum ennaku vaalthu lam sonnathe illai! Nee tha first eh! Rombe santhosama iruku!

M: Ada irunge! Ippove thanks lam sollitha eppadi? (takes her hand out of his hand shake) Kanne mudinge konjam!

K: Kannu ah? Yen Ma? Enna panne pore?

M: Aama pandrange! (smile sarcastically) Solrathe seiyunge Chellam!

K: Cheri cheri! Kanne muduren! (closes his eyes)

Mullai brings  a small box which she was hiding on the left hand straight to his face!

M: Kanne thorenge! (As he opens his eyes) Surprise!

K: Ey! Enna ithu?

M: En chellathode birthday ku...unge Mullai ode oru chinna gift! Pidinge! (hands it to him) Thoranthu paarunge!

He takes that cute little heart-shaped box into his hands happily!

He opened it and had tears in his eyes again!

What was in it? What made him emotional like this?

A ring with two hearts together!

K: (he can't really speak out) Mulla....Ithu....ennaka???? Neeya....????

M: Aama Nghe! Ungeluku than! Eduthu paarunge! Pidichiruka?

Suddenly Kathir's face changed a little!

K: Intha! Neeye pidi! (gives that back to Mullai)

Mullai is confused!

Why?

Isn't he happy for it?

M: Yenghe? Yenna aachi? Yen enkitte kudukuringe? Ithu ungeluku than! (her face changed immediately) Pidikeleya enna? (She seriously felt like crying)

K: Ippe yenna aachi nu munje ippedi vechikithe? Pidi nu sonne le! Pidi Mulla....intha! (gives her the ring)

She takes with confused face!

M: Yenanghe oru maari pesuringe! Aasaiya vangithu vanthu kudutha.... Ippedilam.....pannathinge pls! Ennaku azhugethan varuthu!

M: Aama...ithulelama vilayadu vange? Bayanthuthen theriyuma? Ponge!

M: Aama....naane tha vangune! Naan sernthu vecha kaasule...Ungeluku tha! Neenge pothukenum nu tha vangune! Yenghe? Pidikeleya?

K: Pidikele nu naa sonnena? Rombeve pidichiruku! Neethane....kuduthe....appo nee than......

M: Naan.....????

K: Neeye ennaku pothu vide Ma! (shows his finger to her)

M: (Mullai had tears) Naana? Ungeluka?

K: Enna da kelvi ithu? Aama! Ennaku...neethan! (smiles) Pothuvidu Mulla! Neeye pothuvidu! 

She had a big smile on her face!

But she stopped for a while!

Something run in her mind! She is not ready to put it for him!

Why? What is disturbing her?

She thinks for a while! What was she thinking?

Does she really need to think at this moment? Yes she needs this moment to think!

M (mindvoice): Ithu than nalla chance! Sollidu Mulla! Marupadiyum ippedi oru chance unnaku varuma nu theriyele! Sollu Mulla! Yosikathe! Avenghe enna nenaichalum parvale! Nee sollidu!

K: Mulla! Athe kaiyele vechikithu....enna Ma yosikire? (confused Kathir)

K: (childish face) Ennaku....pothu...vide.....maathiya????

M: Aha....appedi illai Nghe!

She holds his hand and takes his ring finger......

But before she puts in - She look into his eyes – He look back into her eyes!

M: Chellam! (K: Enna Ma?)

M: Inniki unge porantha naal! (K: Aama!)

M: Naan innoru gift um ungeluku koduke poren!

K: Innona? Ippadi orediya athirchi kudukathe Ma! (smiles) 12 maniku vaalthu sonne....apparom inthe motharam! Athaiye nee innum pothuvidele! (smiles) Ithule innona?

M: Seri....entrichi nillunge! (K: Entrikevaa? Athu seri!)

Both held in each other's hand in help to stand and got up firmly!

Both stand facing their eyes - Kathir still waiting for her with still showing his hand to Mullai!

K: Ippo vaathu potthu viden Ma!

After a short while.....Mullai takes a deep breath!

And Mullai is ready now!

For what?

What was she waiting for???

Is she......????

She takes his hand again.....holds his ring finger.....

Then.....Mullai sees him straight to his eyes!

M: Yenghe! (Kathir signalled her in his eyebrows raising at her)

Little silent surround the room!

With Mullai putting it on his finger....

M: I......LOVE......YOU!

Kathir was speechless! He had tears hearing this 3 words which had a lot of meanings in it! He was stuck in between whether in admiring the ring moment or admiring her confession moment!

K: (can't really come out of the shock) Mulla! Nee...ippo...enna...sonne?????

Without thinking much......Mullai said it again.....

M: Yenghe! (shouts to him with full of love)

I LOVE YOU! NAAN UNGELE KADHALIKIREN! INTHE KATHIRE INTHE MULLAI LOVE PANDREN!

Kathir is standing stuck in shock! Yet a very big happiness within himself too! But he has no ideas of how to express that happiness!

Mullai goes much near to him...almost very close to him.....

Without thinking much......

SHE HUGGED HIM!

What?

What just happened?

Yes!

MULLAI just HUGGED KATHIR! 

(RiGaMaGaRiSa)

Kathir is completely shock now!

He is confused at the same time too!

He is thinking whether to reply her confession or to hug her now!

He is still in Mullai's embrace!

Yes! Mullai is still hugging him with the hope of Her Chellam will hug her back!

After a short while......

KATHIR HUGGED HER BACK!

Mullai's hope doesn't go wrong – she had tears in her eyes!

And what else next......

What else????

(definitely not what you are thinking people)

It was an emotional moment for both of them!

Both enjoy being in each other's embrace!

After a while, Kathir hold her in his hands and bring her out of their embrace!

He hold her by placing his both hands on both of her shoulders!

Kathir facing her straight into her eyes.....And......

After a cute emotional eyelock.........

K: Mulla!

NAANUM UNNE KATHALIKIREN! UN KATHIR EN MULLAIYA KADHALIKIREN! I LOVE YOU MULLAI!

Without any hesitation now!

HE HUGGED HER BACK AGAIN! (the hug was very firm now)

SHE HUGGED HIM BACK! (even her hug grow much firm)

Both stayed in each other's embrace for a long while with tears in both their eyes!

After a while.....

Again both at the same time!

I LOVE YOU!

Both then come out of their embrace with little heavy heart but they are flying high in happiness!

K: Ippedi oru porantha naal le en vaazhkai le marakeve maathen Ma! Rombe thanks Mulla! (Holds her by her shoulder and sees the ring on his finger)

Kathir made Mullai sat on the bed and he sat beside her very closely! Not even air can enter in between them!

Mullai takes his hand in hers....scrubbing the ring on his finger.....

M: Inthe motharam vangum bothe......naan....ungeluku inthe heart symbol paarthale...ungeluku en kadhal puriyum nu nenaichu than....chumma appediye ungekitte anthe box oode koduthen! (still scrubing the ring)

Neengelum en mele kadhal....thanna...illai athu veru paasam, akkarai thanna nu theriyame...sollithome nu nenaicha...... (smiles) Neengelum ennaiye...... (before she could finish....)

Kathir HUGGED His Mullai!

Mullai HUGGED His Kathir back!

While still having both in their embrace.....

K: Thungelama? Late aachi paaru Ma!

Kathir gets up from the bed!

Mullai stand from the bed with fake anger!

M: Ethu? Di ah? Enna (stressing it) enna Daa....en Purushaaaaa!

M: Engalukum puriyithe! Naan rombethan le? Irunge ungele kavanichikiren!

M: Athu......bed chinna tha iruke! Patthuma? Rendu perum paduke patthuma nu therleye Nghe?

K: Athelam patthum! Nee vaa! Iru naan light off pannithu varen!

Mullai goes up the bed happily and Kathir goes to off the light!

Mullai is already on the bed, laying down facing him...waiting for him!

Kathir taking his thalavani with him! He comes near the bed!

K: Paduthuthiya? (he goes up the bed)

M: Hmmm vaange! (She moves inside, near to the wall) Ivvalo idam pothuma ungeluku?

K: Inge Ma pore? Palli maathiri sevuthule othikathe! (inspired by @AnugrahaaRavi3 in Poo vs Puyal) 

M: Ethu? Palliya? 

K: Ippedi....thalli thalli padutha....kandipa idam pathathu than!

M: Engalukum theriyum! Neenge nalla padunge mothe!

He laid down straight beside her!

She got up a little!

She came near him!

Both were little nervous!

She put her head on his chest and laid down on him, hugging him!

He grab her in his arm and hugged her!

After a while, he felt his t-shirt getting wet! He raised her head a little from his chest! He sit up! He made her sit close to him!

K: Enna Ma aachi? Yen azhure? Naan.....unne.....?

M: Aiyooo illainge! Ippedilam ungelode....irupen nu nenaichi kude paarkele! Nambe vaazhkai ippedi....ivvalo sikirama.....ivvalo santhosama lam pogum nu nenaiche paarkelenghe! Athan! (she wipes her tears and smiles) Anandha kaneer than Chellam! (he wipes her tears)

M: Athelam neenge nalla tha paarthupinge! Ennaku nambikai iruku! Naanum en Chellathe nalla paarthupen!

Kathir moved a little closer to her! Kathir held her face in his palms! And......

KATHIR KISSED HER FOREHEAD!

Mullai's tears rolled down her cheeks!

Mullai laid her head again on his chest and hugged him!

Kathir held her in his arm and made their embrace much firm!

And slept on the bed!

K: I LOVE YOU Ma!

M: I LOVE YOU TOO Chellam!

K: Good Night....Diii (smiles)

M: (hits him on his chest) Good Night Daa!

They could not sleep actually! Both were enjoying their embrace! They were recalling happily about their love confessions, the first hugs, the first kiss and now this....sleeping closely in each other's embrace! Smiling and giggling around! 

But after some time, they had their real sleep! It was a very very peaceful sleep! Sleeping next to and very close with the better half of our life is something very precious and to be treasured forever!
