அன்பே எந்தன் காதல்

சொல்ல நொடி ஒன்று போதுமே....
அதை நானும் மெய்ப்பிக்கத்தானே
ஒரு ஆயுள் வேண்டுமே....
Kathir reached home in a very pleasant mood...

At around 5pm,

Lak: dei kathiru...inaku seekram vanta....

Kat: aama ma....konjam vela kami...

Lak: vaadhiyaar ku enna da imbutu vela ...raathri pagal aa...

Kat: ila ma....iruku konjam...

Lak; adhu seri...Jan 23 un nichayam dan shwetha oda...

Kat: hmm seri ma...

Lak: ada adha yen da ipdi solra....konjam sirichu dan solen....

Kat: illa ma vela la adhan...naan poi konjam oivu edukaren...

Right after he left, Dhanam tried pulling the cords for her BIL..

Dha: atha...nama kathir nichayam nu sonadhu lendu oru madiri aa irukan la...

Lak: adhu ellarukum sagajam dane ma...

Dha: illa atha...oru vela kathir ku inda kalyanathula ishatam illaye enamo...

Lak: dhanam...enna ma solra...en thambi ponnu..mama mama nu avanaye suthara ponnu epdi pudikama pogum...

Dha; illa atha...naan apdi irukumo no keten...

Lak: apdi lan onnum illla...nee veena kozhapikadha....

Kathir was sitting in his room, his mind was preoccupied but with nothing...

He looked lost...

He was lost...

He desperately needed an anchor...he could hold upon to.....

That's when he heard the knock...and Kanna came.

Kat: sollu da enna vishayam..

Kann: illa amma solichu jan 23 vandu...

Kat; hmmm....

Kann: adhukula mulla madam aa...

Kat: pananum....innum 4 naal la ava trichy vela mudinjdium la...

Kanna: illa anan...adhu edo extend agudu....innum konjam naal aagum...

Kat: apdi enna da vela....

Kanna: adhu vandu kalapu thirumanam ku nariya per edhirupu therivichirukanga...adhu pathi...

Kat: ellam indha paazha pona jaadhi veri...

Kanna: naan vela mudinjidu na solren anna...

Kat: hmmm....seri nandri..

Kanna: enna annan yaaro madhiri nandir lan solra...

Kat: onnum illa...apdiye vandichu...

Once he left, ofc he got a call from Shwetha...

Shw: hello mama...

Kat: solu ma...

Shw: mama nichayam date fix panitangalam...

Kat: theriyum...

Shw: mama ...ungaluku enna achu...yen ipdi....naan edum thappu...

Kat: illa illa....onnum illa naan aprom pesuren...

She is someone he grew up with, he didn't have it in him to talk harshly to her but at the same time he had to make her life settled....

Else, the guilt could eat him up....

And ofcourse, Kathir's routine didn't have any extra change other than the fact that....

The half yearly question paper setting had taken his time, he did do his watchman duty sneaking out of his house...

It was just 13 days after her birthday...but Kathir looked different....

The inner turmoil did take a toll on him....

He looked visibly tired....But, his love for her was his driving force...

None in the house other than his mother figure, dhanam anni and Kanna knew the reason...

Rest believed it was just his work tension...

DEC 11, 2020

EVENING 4PM,

Mullai had finally made her entry into the NGO...

The case and issue with the inter caste mass wedding was almost sorted...

There won't be any of new issue....

Mullai: kanna...konjam en cabin ku vaanga...

Kanna mv: ayyayo vandhadhum varadhadhuma namala koopdrangale...enna va irukum....

Seri povom...elllam nama anni aaga poravungda dane...

Mullai: enna kanna anga thaniya pesuringa....with a look that clearly meant "Are you mad"

Kanna: onum illa madam neenga solunga...

Mullai: naan konjam oru personal vishayam kekanum...thappa nenaika matingale....

Kanna mv: enna va irukum....

Kanna: cha cha kelunga...

Mullai: unga annan enna panranga...

Kanna: endha annan....came his spontaneous reply....

Mullai: ungaluku ethana annan irukanga....

Kanna: 3 uh...

Mullai: ohoooo...kathir ethanavadhu annan?

Kanna mv: enna kathu nama kadhir annan pakam veesudu....rightu annan ku nala neram armabichidichu polaye...

Kanna: 3 aavadu annan...

Mullai: annan enna panranga....

Kanna: business...PS marts nu franchise engaladhu dan....

Mullai: 3 aananum aa...

Kanna mv: enna ration card la kekara madiri kekuranga....

Kanna: illa modha 2 annan matum dan...

Mullai: apo unga kathir annan ku vela edum illaya....

Kanna: ada...kathir anan tamizh vaadiyar...Govt School la.....Tamizh HOD...

Mullai: Govt na nalla sambalam tharuvangale...

Kanna by now was starting to get riled up with all these questions...

He initially thought it was may be curiosity to know Kathir...

But he doesn't get why is she asking how financially sound he is...

Kanna: idhelam neenga yen kekuringa....en 3 annan nu nalla kai neraya sambadikum...

Mullai: ada kochukadhinga kanna...

Kanna: illa neenga eduku idhelam ketinga nu therinjakalama...

Mullai: illa neenga solra padi...unga kathir annan tamizh vadhiyar...adum GOVT udyogam...HOD vera.....

Apo kaasukaga illa...

Kanna: manichidunga purila ennaku....neenga enna dan sola varinga...

Mv: nama kathir annan ku ivunga venuma...oru margama pesurangale cha....

Mullai: illa...ivalo nala vela...nala sambalam....apram eduku indha watchman vela...

Kanna: edhu...watchman velaya....enna madam neenga patuku vaaiku vandadhu lan pesuringa....enga annan yen watch man vela pakanum...

Mullai: adhaye dan naanum kekuren...

Unga annan eduku watchman vela pakanum....

Idu police kita sonna...aduku per watchman vela illa....theriyuma illaya unga annan ku...

Kanna stood stupefied hearing all this...

Kanna: neenga vera yaarayo pathirupiha....

Mullai took her phone and swiped it...and showed him his brother's pic...in different attire...

It had the time and date imprinted....

Kanna lv: idha than ithana naala panudha...adhan thookam illam aipid iruku...

Kanna: adhu...adhu....

Mullai: enna adhu adhu nu izhukuringa....

Denam 10 call...ipdi veetu munna vandu ninna....

Kanna mv: annan ivungala love panudu nu namba epdi sola....

Kanna: adhu vandu...therla....

Neenga yen idha ellam en kita kekuringa...

Annan aa pathadum annan aa ye ketrukalame....

Ithana photo eduthirukinga...iduku badhil neenga anga poi ketrindha mudinjirukume....

That question undid mullai...

She didn't have an answer to it...

Mullai mv: thevaya mulla unaku idu...enna sola mudiyum ipdi keta...

Solu ...solu mullai...her inner voice spoke...

Solu unaku avan varardu pudichiruku....

Denam phone panradu pudichiruku...

Avan anupuna birthday gift pudichiruku...

Andha rose bouquet pudichidu nu...

Her mind outrightly denied it...

Apdi lan onnum illa...nee aa edho karpana pani olarara....her mind replied...

Kanna: madam....madam....

He ringed the bell infront of her to bring her from dream....

Kanna: madam naan ketene yen neenga anna kita kekala nu...

Mulla: neenga kelambalam kannan....

Kanna gave out a smirk....

Kanna mv: aaga thee rendu disai layum iruku....annan imbutu vela pathiruku...

Nama evalo appavi aa irundirukom....worst behavior kanna...

Ivunga anni aa vandha dan annan adangum pola....

The word "anni" made him remember meena anni...

Though he wont be able to make her cupid for Kathir...he could do something to fulfill her wish...

It would be more of favor for Kathir anna....

1000 poi soli oru kalyanam panlam na..nama kathir annan kaga 1 poi soluvom...

Kanna: madam....

Mullai: ungala naan apove kelamba sonen eh...

Kanna: madam naalaiku enaku birthday...

Mullai; ohhh...advance happy birthday.....

Kanna: adhan oru chinna birthday party iruku...nama office la ellarayum koopdaren....

Mullai: ohhh....

Kanna: nenegalum kandipa varanum....inga dhan pakathula.....Nama VGP Resort la....

Nalaiku Sunday...kandipa varanum....neenga varalati...edho en mela kovam nu nenachipen...

Adum family lan illa...verum office staff matum dan...

He saw Mullai thinking....

Kanna mv: oru poi factory eh outhu vitrukom...epdi um meena anni aa patha manichiduvanga nu nambuvom...

Kanna: please vanga...evening 5pm.....

Kanna was damn sure she wont make any plan to come with other colleagues...she is still not in that zone...

That gave him additional confidence....

And he bid his bye and left to his workplace...

That day evening 8pm, after dinner,

All were assembled talking about anniversary celebration...

Meena: kanan....mulla...

The name mullai did drew a certain person's attention....

Kanna: naan en birthday nu poi soliruken....varuvanga....thitna neenga dhan pathukanum soliten...

Meena: adhelam naan pathukuren...thanks da...

Suddenly,

Kathir had a glow on his face..

Tomorrow she ll be here....

He will somehow find ways to talk with her....

Kanna lv: annan...

Kat: solu da...en medhuva pesura...

Kanna lv: pinna un watch man velaya pathi....pinna epdi pesa....

Kathir bit his tongue....

Kat: unaku epdi....

Kanna: ellam unga aalu dhan...

Photo pudichu ethane kelvi....

And he narrated the incident inclusive of her reaction for his question...

Kanna saw the glow and naughty smile on his face...

Kanna: nee nadathu nee...

Kathir simply shook his head and left...

That day, Mullai was in a dilemma to go or not to go...

He had promised it will be a office party right...

Mullai: seri povom....illati aduku vera edachum ketan na enna sola....

But, before sleeping her eyes did sought out to the window to see that particular face that took away her sleep...

He was nowhere to be seen...

She did look for missed calls..

She didn't find any....

Mullai: oru vela kannan edum solirupano....

Sonna unaku enna..her mind questioned...

She shook her head and went to sleep...

Next day, Sunday was a lazy day for everyone except our Kathirvelan...

He was jumping with enthusiasm....for the party...

All thanks to a girl...

He was sure he ll get atleast some 10 minutes to talk with her...

He is confident he can do it...

He can make her bend to his ways....

He gave a final glance to his looks...he looked smart and handsome in a white tshiet and jacket and blue pants....

But, with fingers crossed he started to the venue with the rest family members who were beaming in joy except Kanna....

He felt bad on the poor guy...

But, He needed Mullai....

The party started at around....His eyes were glued to the entrance.....but he made sure he was not directly visible to her...

Another two souls were waiting for the flower, Mullai...

And

She came walking with the grace of a swan...clad in a green saree with sleeveless blouse....gone were her specs and her antique nose ring...

She looked nothing less than a "APSARA" to the tamizh teacher....

...................

The moment mullai set her foot she was confused with the arrangement...

It looked more of a arrangement for wedding than birthday...and she couldn't see any known face from her firm....

Her eyes were scanning for a known face when she saw him...

Kathir...

Looking too handsome and smart with a cocky smile....

She didn't know what to do...

She was bloody tricked by Kanna...

But, before she could react...

She was engulfed in a bear hug...

TBC.....

Kathir mullai aa katiyachu....

Convo nalaiku katren...

Thanks....heheh.....
