ஊரு உலகம் சேர்ந்து எனக்கு                  மாலை தந்துடுச்சே...

Kathir drove his car straight to SM rice mill. He saw the guards and accountant wish him greetings. Giving a nod as his response, he looked about for his maternal uncle and the father of her prospective bride.

He saw him standing in white cotton shirt and white dhoti and his hand holding a mobile and talking.

Kathir: mazha peyumbodum indha manushan matum dhan...velayum cholayuma iruparu....

Sondhama thuni thovachirundha theriyum...ellam athai aa solanum...

A smile bloomed on his face thinking of his athai. She was a sweet women, someone who is poles apart from this rough and tough man.

He saw his uncle turn while talking on the phone, his big heavy minor chain and bracelet with the dash of vermillion came to his focus. The rude face turned into a small acknowledging smile once his eyes fell on him.

He saw him cutting the phone...and nod his head...which he returned..

Jana: ada vaanga mapilla...meena sonna neenga varinga nu...

Kathir: aamam mama, anni kita pakanum nu soningalam me....

Jana: apdiye meena jisha papa vayum kootitu vandirukalam la mapla.

Kathir: illa oru chinna vela iruku idhuku apram....adhan.....

Jana: ada vera onnum illa mapilla, ellam nala vishayam dhan...

Kathir: solunga mama

Jana: ellam nama shwetha kalyanam vishayam dhan...

Kathir: kekave sandoshama iruku mama.....mapillai yaru? Endha ooru? Enna vela panraru?

Janardhanan was for sure shocked seeing his to be son in law ask this question, what does he mean by this.

Jana: enna thambi eduvume theriyadha madiri kekuringa?

Kathir: illa mama....naan veetla yaar kitayum pesala....adhan mapillai aa pathi enaku edhum theriyadhu...

He wanted to pull all the strings he could ....

Jana: velayatu mapilla....raja madhiri neenga irukurapo ...mapillai yaarunu kekuringa.....

Kathir: naana?

Jana: aamam mapilla...ungaluku enna kurachal.....padipu vela nu ellame iruke....

Kathir: adhilla mama, enakum shwetha kum 6 vayasu vithyasam iruku.....adhan...

Jana: adhelam oru vithyasama mapilla....

Kathir: illa mama......adhu...

Jana: enna mapilla izhukurinha?

Kathir: illa.....naan maten nu sonna neenga enna panuvinga mama?

He asked with a tiny smile, he wanted to know his mama's next set of plans before he gave his verdict.

Jana: neenga yen mapilla, venam nu sola poringa....

Kathir: ada adhu illa mama, chumma therinjikalame nu dhan......

Jana: apdi lan ungala sola vitruvoma....nama kudumbam pazhakam nu onnu irukula....

Kathir: ada naan ketadhuku badhil solunga mama....he faked a smile...naan venam nu sonna...neenga shwetha va kannan ku kati veka papingala?

Jana: illa mapilla.....

Kathir: yen mama?

Jana: kanna mapilla, namala madiri illa......ipo pudhusa avaru edho 50 dhambadhi ku kalapu thirumanam pana poraram...

Ipo adha pathi dan en snegithan phone la pesinan...

Idhelam nama kudumbathuku othu varuma...

Naan saindharam nama veetuku vandhu idha pathi pesanum nu irundhen....

Namaku, nama jaadhi ku nu oru gouravam, mariyadha nu iruku la mapilla...

Adha vida mudiyuma...

Kathir mv: chai...jaadhi very pudichu iruku ....soli endha prayojanamum illa....

Kathir: naan keta kelviku badhil.....naan venam nu sonna shwetha ku aduthu enna panuvinga?

Jana: neenga venam nu sonna....kalaiarasi annan payan irukan...avanuku kati vechiruven....

Kathir: mama, enna solringa....avan vela vetiku pogama vetti pasangaloda veen vambu valathitu irukan...

Avanuka nama shwetha va epdi mama?

Jana: adhu nala dhane mapilla unga ta sonen.....neenga venam nu sonna dhane solren....

Avaru velaiku pogalati enna....nama thoopu rice mill nu paathale podhume...

Kathir: shwetha padicha ponnu mama....

Jana: meena kooda dhane velioor poi padicha...ipo nama veetla dhane iruka...

Pombala pullaiku, pathirikai la poda dhan thambi padipu...

Idhuve neenga soninga nu dhan..shwetha mel padipu padika vechadhu....neenga padicha ungaluku poruthama irukanum la...

Adhuku...

Kathir didn't know what to do...he came with the sole intention of persuading his uncle against his and shwetha wedding..

But hearing his words, even trying his luck looks vain...

Is this it?

Jana: enna mapilla yosikiringa? He asked doubtful....

Kathir: illa mama....adhu vandhu....

Jana: enna nu solunga.......

Kathir: enaku konjam avagasam venum.....

On seeing him give looks,

Kathir: illa mama udane kalyanam venam....oru varushathuku apram vachikalama?

Jana: mapilla ipove ungaluku 31 vayasu aachu....avaluku 25 aachu....

Kathir: adhuku enna mama.....naan dhane mama....25 aa irundha enna....26 na enna.....

Jana: enna ipdi solringa....

Kathir: oru varushathula enna mama ayida podhu...illa ungaluku en mela nambikai illaya?

Jana: apdi lan onnum illa mapilla....mudinja indha thai la oru nichayam panikalam....

Kathir: unga ishatam mama.....

Jana: seri mapilla...apdiye agatum mathadelam naan akka kita pesikaren....

Kathir: apdiye agatum mama....

Apo naan varen mama.....

And he left...

The purpose of his visit went in drain...He came to refuse marriage and came back postponing the wedding by accepting for engagement.

He felt sudden urge of anger towards himself.....

Once inside his car,

Kathir: muttal....muttal....enna sola vandha....enna solitu vandiruka....

Chai....

Aaahhhhhh....he hit his hand on his steering wheel...

He had to accept hearing his mama talking about getting her married to an even worst jobless guy....

He was continuously hitting his fist against his forehead.....

With that anger, he drove his car with utmost speed...He drove not knowing his destination.

He reached his home much later....

He entered inside to see his mama, athai and shwetha sitting and talking in the hall....

He saw two pairs of confused and accusing eyes looking at him..

Jana: enna mapilllaaa...ivalo late aachu...

Kathir: pugazh oda oru edam vara ponen adhan.....

Lak: vaa pa vandhu ukkaru...ipo dhan mama sonaru....thai la nichayam vechitu oru varusham saavagasam venum nu soniyam,...

Ipove 31 ayidiche pa...

Kathir: 1 varushathulla enna ma aga pogudhu...

Again he saw two accusing looks.....

Lak: seri pa....en thambi ponnu....ipo Katina enna...apram Katina enna...

He gave an uncomfortable smile....and left excusing himself.....

That's when Kanna saw a message in his work group...

Kanna mv: ada cha...indha idhula veeda marantome...

Kanna: amma adhu...

Lak: solu da...

Kanna: nama pazhaya veedu iruku la....

Moor: aama adhuku enna?

Kanna: en incharge veedu theduranga vadagaiku....adhan andha veedu kudukalama nu....

Seeing all look at him..

Kanna: illa ma oru udhavi nu ketangale....

Andha veedum gali aa dhane iruku...adhan......

Dhanam: nala yosana da....andha veedum gali aa dhane iruku......yaarachum thangina naladhu dhane...
