வராக நதிக்கரை ஓரம்,
ஒரே ஒரு பாா்வை பாா்த்தேன்,        புறாவே நில்லுனு சொன்னேன், கனாவாய் ஓடி மறைஞ்ச.

Kathir went to sleep that day a content man....he got what he wanted ....

Till morning, he had a wavering mind on how to connect with his girl mullai, the one who had conquered his heart in the wink of an eye....

But now, he had the source and the means...

Its against his ethics....

But.....he had no other choice....

His brother kanna would land in trouble had he got the help from him...

The kids were a better n safer option....

With these clarity, he drifted into a nice long much needed beauty sleep.

When everyone was cussing about waking from the snuggles offered by blanket, no body noticed the black seltos that left the portico of their antique house.

It drove right through the mist and fog onto the garden where his flower was residing....

The moment sleep eluded him,he had this urge ...sudden spark to meet her...n he needed no second thoughts....

She doesnt know his car....hence she wouldn't notice hum noticing her...

Sounded cool to his brain and he is in front of the old house all ready to take his fill of his girl from a distance ....

Not disappointing him either, he saw his mullaipoo coming down to fetch the newspaper that had been thrown earlier....

She looked a fresh flower....a morning beauty.....a vision to imprint......

But, it changed to irritation....

"Ayyayo pathutala" he feared...

But he saw her eyes didnt move from the wet newspaper...so he felt contented....and continued his duty of being a watchman oogling at the house hoping for her next glimpse...

He got a call in his phone.....

Kat: hello...

Dhar: chithapa enga irukinga........room layum illa

Kat: enda enna achu...

Dhar: mani 8 ....school poga venama..

That's when he realized..the time, place, his occupation..

Kat: innaiku anna va illa kanna va drop pana solu da...

Dhar: neenga inaiku leave aa....

Kat: illa  naan inga dan iruken...

Dhan: dei ivalo velana anga poi enna da panra....

Kat: adhu adhu...

Dhan: enna kathiru...

Kat: Aan adhan anni pugazh leave la irukan la adhan oru Chinna vela inga school la...

Enna pathuka sonan....

Dhan: solitu poga matiya....seri tea kudichiya... apram sapadu....dharshan kits kuduthi vidaren....

Kat: illa anni inime dhan....aan dhatdhan kita kuduthu vidunga...

Koodave school ku nithamum podra oru shirt pant um anupunga anni...

Dhan: apo nee enna kathiru potu poiruka....with shock....

Kathir mv: night dress la vandhen nu epdi da solaaa....

Kat: sports wear...

Dhan: oh seri seri.....

And she hung the phoen....

Kat: kathiru...ipdi aa panuva....enna dress potrukom nu kooda theriyama....

Idhuku vera andha dharshan kita keknaume....nethi eh avan kita kumaran nu matikiten....

Konjam pathu iru da...

After his self talks, he left to have some tea once he saw his target leaving..

With no other work to do, he left to school....with school starting at 10am, there wasnt much of staffs who had come..

The ones who came for sure were astonished with his attire....

But with children's day round the corner in a week, he had quite some work to do and organize for the celebration...

Both as a tamizh HOD and also the additional work he had added onto his plate from Pugazh...

He was working on the competition that had lined up this week....in his language....

When he heard a knock and an excuse me...

He lifted his eyes to see who was the intruder....

There stood his trumpcard...

He did a small victory dance in his head....

He gestured them to come inside...

Kathir rose his eyebrows in a "what's the matter fashion "

He saw the girls looking around the staffeoom for someone...

Kathir : enna ma...yaara thedringa.....

Mudh: tamizh ayya va...

Kat mv: idhu enna da kathirvela unaku vandha sodhana.....unna pathu indha kelvi ketangale.....

He gave a piercing look to both girls....that's when he heard a giggle ....from none other than his nephew..

To kat: ayya...indhanga ungal aadai.....he said with sarcasm dripping out of his words..

Kat: Mikka nandri kelambunga....

Dhar: ivar dhan ma tamizh ayya....

Mudh: Balu ayya..

Visha: illa anna...enga tamizh ayya balu ayya va paka vandhom....

Kat: dharshan neenga unga vagupu ku pogalam....

To VM: avaru innum varala ma...enna vishayam....

Mudh: pechu potti...

Kath: purila...

Mudh: illa tamzih pechu potti ku per kuduthen.....

Kat: siruvar dinam pechu potti aaa

Mudh: intra school competition...

Kathir gave an impressive look....

Kat: naan padichu pathu solren....kudu ma...

Mudhra gave the paper with a sense of doubt....

Kat went through the speech and indeed it was a good one...but needed a few professional touches which he or any tamizh staff could do...

Kat: nala ulladakam dan....aana sila matrangal pananum....

Yaar ezhuduna amma va??

Mudh: amma velaya irundanga....adhan akka ezhudunanga....

Kat: neenga edhulayim seralaua vishaka...

Vish: katturai poti ....aana adhoda topic anga dan  solvangalam...

Kat: thalaipu...topic nu soladinga...

Mudhra face palmed while vishaka closed her eyes in frustation which earned her a glare.....

Mumbling a sorry...they stood with adadu vazhiyum smile.

Kat: mudhra naan vendiya matram panitu saindharam tharen....

Mudh: seri ayya....aana balu ayya...

Kat: naan solikaren....neenga unga vagupu ku ponga....

Apdiye idha ezhuduna akka kita nala ezhudirukanha nu unga tamzih ayya sonadha solunga....

Mudh nodded an doubtful okey and left....along with vishaka.....

Kathir went to change his dress, he informed his subordinate mr balu about mudhra speech and that he will correct it since he had already read it in his absence...

Mr balu was more tahn happy that he was doing it....

At around 4pm, he got changed into his sports wear and left to the ground with the whistle and speech paper....

Seeing him...all 4 stood in attention...

He looked at the girls....their hair was held high in a pony tail...

He gave an acknowledging nod which was returned with a smile....

Kat: .at ease..good evening

Kid: good evening sir..

Kat: Pugazh vara oru 2 vaaram agum...

He gave a look at the kids...they looked pale at the mention of it....

It was as if they had a close encounter with a ghost...

The energy and enthusiasm left them in a jiff

They gave a mere nod....

He literally felt bad....poor kids.....he thought.......two weeks putting up with his strict ness would be a tough task...

He knows...more than that...it looked tehy lacked the zeal they had yesterday which wasnt a good sign...

He gave them a genuine smile...a smile thay said he understood their predicament....

But it wasn't returned....he let out a gusy of air....this wasnt a good sign for the sports or for his plan...

Kat: students....

Kids: sir....with fear...

Kat: en ipdi irukinga 4 perum...

They shook their head as nothing....

Kat: seri inaiku warm up start panlama....

They gave a mere nod ...

All lines up for the run....

Kat: enna line up panringa.....

Vish: 4 round around the ground dane sir....adhan...

He gave out a small smile....

Kat; illa...

Yash mv: adha vida kodumai aa va sola poraru....

Kat: well...inaiku we ll dance and warm up....

They looked surprised and what not...

Mudh: dance aa??

Kathir nodded his head....aama dance....

He ONed his phone and kept a good beat..."Waka  Waka" song and just like that, he saw very bright radiant smile on all the tiny faces...

He started some basic zumba steps for some 30 minutes....the kids enjoyed it....they made mistake but it was sooper fun....

Aaru: paravala avala mosam illa pola ivaru....

And after the 30 minutes ...they all looked refreshed...

Kathir: stop...rest for 10 minutes.....

They all gave out toothy smile...

He gave a stare to their hair...which had loosened from the pony tail....

Mudhra and vishaka didnt know what to do....

Kathir: vsihala....mudhra ...come here....

Mudh lv: pochu ka...vaanga porom.....

Vish lv: enna panalam....avalo dan enaku tight aa poda varudhe....

Kathir: mudi....

Vish: sir ivalo dhan sir tight aa poda varudu....

Mudh: sorry...sir...

Kathir: inga vaanga rendu perum....

Mudh lv: ayyayo enna pana poraro

Vish lv: bob cut panidu vaaro dangal padam aamir Khan madiri....

Mudhra's eyes popped out...so did kathirs who heard the low voice convo....

Kath mv: ada kadavule....

Kath: remove the band....

With shaky hands they did....

He called mudhra first....she walked slowly....

Kathir held her open hair...and lifted it high......

Kat: band....

Mudh: Haaaan...

Kat: band....

She gave it and he tied it high tightly....

Mudh: amma valikudu

Kat: sorry....vishaka nenega vaanga

Mudh: thanks....and she left

Vishaka now happily hopped he wont do anything bad...

He tied her hair also up....effortlessly....

Visha: ungaluku epdi sir ivalo azhaga mudi keta theriyum...

Mudh mv: akka soopara ice vekudhe....

Kat: en veetla oru ponnu iruku....

Mudh: unga ponna....

Kat mv: indha vaandu ku enna lan theriyanum.....seri nama karyam aaganume

Kat: illa anna ponnu....with smile....

Kathir gave the corrected speech paper...

Kat: mudhra indhanga....idha nala thayar panunga....

Mudhra: thanks....ss...nandri

and they left to join the boys....

And tehy started with the day's coaching which ended at around 5.15pm...

They mumbled a happy thanks and all of them left to their respective places....

TBC......
