What changed them? What happened??? Before going to the manamedai???

Kathir and Mullai - Just now – in the room -

K: Mulla......

Mullai was very much in shock! She stopped and turned swiftly with eyes full of tears!

Why?????

This is the first time Kathir is calling her by name! Yes! Kathir who use to call her (Ey, Intha, Chi, Peh) has now called her by her name!

M: Kathiru......Nee......Neenge....

Kathir was spellbound now! He couldn't sense what just happened!

What?????

Mullai who used to call him by name (Kathiru) and never respected him even he is older than her is now talking to him with full of respect (The change of Nee to Neenge)

- Back to the manamedai -

Both Kathir and Mullai is very happy now! They are happy for their wedding! 

Why????? 

Yes! Kathir gave Mullai a big space to think! Kathir gave her confidence! Mullai gained confidence in him and trusted him! She promised to gave her life to him and so do him! Things might take time to heal! But both promised to each other to live happily after and went to get married happily!

Pr: Ketti melam! Ketti melam! (Hands over one thali to Jeeva and another one to Kathir)

Mullai didn't turn to see Jeeva and Meena – She was very much happy and elacted to get married to Kathir – Kathir signalled her in his eyes before tieing the knot and asked her: Kathevaa Mulla? – She signalled back and nodded YES with eyes full of shyness – Everyone showered their blessings (achathai thuvinaargal) and then get blessings separatedly from the elders in their family! 

And going out of the hall, Mullai stopped at the name board! (It was written P.Jeevanandam weds M.Mullai) Kathir stopped with her and sees her! Surprisingly.....She smiled sarcastically at the board!

M: Enna paarkuringe! Vaange polam! (Kathir smiled and both went in the van)

Meena was very much happy – but Jeeva couldn't be happy! Mullai didn't look at them at all! She turned towards Kathir and smiled at him – He smiled back! Meena was totally devastated seeing this....But Jeeva had a little relief smile seeing this!

They reach home! There was a drama for that Aarthi!

Surprsingly.....Mullai speak up!

M: Akka.....Dhanam Akka! Ungele than! Neengele Aarathi edunge! (Everyone was shocked) 

Both Kathir and Mullai entered the house happily together!

Then the kuthuvilaku atrocities! Kathir helped Mullai and she ligheted the kuthuvilaku happily and then surprisingly.....Mullai handed over the matchbox to Meena! Kathir was very much happy for what she did! Meena was speechless!

Then the Paalum Paazhamum kolapadis! Kasturi Atthachi takes the tumbler from Kathir and gave it to Mullai! Mullai was very much in anger seeing this!

M: Atthachi! Enna pandringe? Athe avenghe kitteye kudunge! Neenge kudinge! Apparom ennaku thange!

Kathir was spellbound – Athachi returning it with embarrassment – Kathir takes the tumbler from Athachi with a smile, drink it and gave the left out to Mullai – She drank it happily – Everyone was very shocked but happy at the same time!

At night – Both Kathir Mullai was asked to adjust themselves in the small room and they were provided with 2 paaiyi, thalavinis, and sombu! Both went in happily without any complaint!

K: Mulla, nee ippedi paduthuko (showing near the wall) ....naan inge (distancing far from her in the room) paduthukuren! Thungelama? Light off pannethuma?

M: Yenghe? Ingeye idam konjam tha iruku! Ithule yen....ange poiyi padukuringe! Ippedi ingeye padunge! Ingethan fan um iruku! Naan ethum nenaichike maathen! Naan ippediyum....neenge appediyum...paduthukelam! Vaange! (Kathir came back near her and set his and her paaiya, thalavani and put the sombu in between them)

K: Athu seri! Cheri padukelama? Rombeve tired aah iruku! Neeyum rombeve inniku alunthe....Nalla nimmathiya thunge! (Goes to off the light)

M: Aama nge! Ennakum rombeve tired ah iruku! Alunthu alunthu than tired aachi! (Laughes) Neengelum nalla thungenge! Good night Nge!

K: Good night!

Mullai turned towards Kathir and see him in awe and then turned to the opposite side with shyness and slept peacefully! Kathir seeing all her reactions was very much elated! He smiled to himself and slept peacefully!

A new life of KM begins with full of happiness and confidence and trust on each other!
