The next morning. KM were ready to go out! They came together from their room! Others were already at the hall having their tea!

Kn: Aiyoooo aale vidunge pa! (runs from there – all laugh)

D: Seri vaange pasiyaridelam!

All goes in to have their breakfast – Then Moorthy and Jeeva leave to PS Shop – Kanna goes to college – Then Kathir and Mullai goes out!

The first stop was hospital! Both KM waited nervously at the waiting hall for the Doctor – then the nurse called on....

N: Mullai Kathirvelan! (Both KM got up) Vaange!

D: Vaange! Enna Ma udambuku?

M: Athu Doctor....nethu oru..... (K: 3 vathi vaanthi edutha Doctor)

Doctor brings Mullai inside for check up! Kathir is more nervous now! After a while, Doctor and Mullai comes out from the check up room! Kathir had a quick eyetalk with Mullai! Mullai just smiled big!

D: Vaalthukal Thambi! (shakes hand with K) Neenge Appa aithinge! Vaalthukal Ma! (shakes hand with M) Neenge Amma aithinge!

K: Naan paarthukuren Doctor! Nandri Doctor!

M: Thanks Doctor! Varom!

Both left the hospital happily!

They are heading to Janardhan's house next!

After a short while, they reached Janardhan's house!

Please take note: This is the new Janardhan (I like him more than the old one) and He is not in contacted with PS Family only because he is angry with Meena who went out of the house and married to a man who is less in status without his permission!

Kathir and Mullai goes in the house! Janardhan (JD) and Kalaivani (KV)was at the hall!

K: Vanakam!

JD: Vanakam! Yaaru? (turned and was angry to see Kathir) Neeye....neenge ethuku inge vanthinge?

At night, everyone is at home! Dhanam starts the discussion! Kathir and Mullai explains more! All were happy! They planned together! All the guests were informed! After dinner, all disperse to their rooms and went to sleep!
