சின்னச் சின்ன
அத்துமீறல் புாிவாய்.
                       என் செல் எல்லாம்                                         பூக்கள் பூக்கச் செய்வாய்.                  மலா்களில் மலா்வாய்.....

பூப்பறிக்கும் பக்தன்.                                  போல மெதுவாய்
                       நான் தூங்கும் போது                                         விரல்  நகம் களைவாய்                        சத்தமின்றி துயில்வாய்.

The next day morning,

Two people were sleeping in each others embrace....

Her head was cushioned by his chest....Every beat of his heart was resonating in her ear drum.....

Her left hand was over the right side of his chest parallel alignment to the head....

Her left leg was casually thrown over his right .and .her right leg were in touch with his left .....

Her shoulder was tightly held in place by his strong arms...

His lips were grazing over her forehead...

Her disheveled hair was teasing his beard.....

The first one to open the eyes to witness this heaven on earth was Kathir....

His vision opened to the serene scene of his angel sleeping over him with no tension of the world...

It looked more of a dream to him than reality......

His lips pressed tightly on her hair....

He tightened his hold on her....

Which made her move in his embrace....

What if she wakes up and accuses him of taking advantage...??

Noo....she wont......

He hoped....

But....

There was heavy chance for this to happen....

He looked at the so called lakshman rekha and let out a huge puff of air...

It was not him thankfully.....

It was her....

She had rolled onto his side....

He was sleeping on the edge of the bed....on his side....

And she was pressed against him..with no space for even air to pass....

He felt a small movement in her...and he pretended to be sleeping to minimize the casuality.....

So he laid with closed eyes expecting to lose the warmth at any given opportunity..

But what he felt was a nuzzle....

A nuzzle of her antique ring adorned nose against his neck....

It didn't stop with that....

Her petals grazed the small part of his chest which was bare through his open shirt buttons.....

He was having a hard time controlling his desire....

He peaked open his eyes to see she was nuzzling him in her sleep...mumbling incoherently...

But his body unaware about all this was giving altogether a different feel....

Blood and hormones were following their own path towards the meridional inguine....

His hands holding her in place was etching to play with her bare skin...

If anyone asked him what does hell feel like....may be can for sure think about this moment......

Where...

His control and desire were at stake...

Her legs were moving up and down against his groin...

Making him fuss about his yesterday's dialogues and decision....

Gosh....

Why was this so hard??

Or

Why was he so hard??

This could become an embarrassing situation to certain extent....in current scenario....

And he found no way to remove her legs without waking her up....

Putting him into the state of " Dharmasangadam"...

Every second passed felt pure hell...

Thankfully, it didnt last long....

He saw her eyelids fluttering and her sleepy pupils coming in contact with his dilated desire filled ones....

It took a couple of moments for her to sense  m..where she was, and what she was doing...

The hardness she felt by her leg left her mind wobble....

She didn't know how to react...

She kind of felt her body betraying her.....

She flushed red before her brain processed the signals and speech....

And when her mind reminded her of the lakshmanan rekha they drew the before day......

she prejudicely concluded he crossed his boundary....

And she sprang up straight....

Mullai: evalo dairiyam irunda neenga ipdi panuvinga....

Kat: edhu....naan enna panen.....

Mul: nadikadinga.....ennamo nethi lakshman rekha adu idu nu soninga...

Kadasila naan thoongumbodu...

Vekkama illaya ungaluku....

That broke the dam of patience he was holding.....

How dare she put forward such an accusation on him??

Did he look like a pervert to her....??

True...he lied to her......no it was not a lie...

He had kept a major truth about him to himself.....

For which he is guilty.....

For which he repents....

But,

For her to think so cheap about him....

Rage filled through his nerves....

Kat: eyyy....he shouted....

That "eyyy" made mullai startle....

She didn't expect this yell from him....

Mull: enna koral aa osathuringa.....

Kat: apdi dhan osathuvan....

Enna panuva.....

Illa enna di panuva....

Kannu theriyadha unaku....

Andha aandha kanna  nala thorandu paaru....

Nana en edathula dan iruken.....nee dhan inga urundu vandu padutha....

Nyayapadi naan dhan unna kathanum ..

Nee enna un ishtathuku vaaila vandhadhellam solra....

Inni oru vartha pesuna.....

Kondruven....

His eyes spoke the language of anger mixed with guilt and sadness....

He moved away from her and left to washroom leaving her teary eyed....

Her kohl filled eyes glistened with tears made him feel the pang....

Had he stayed a minute more...he would have taken her in embrace....which would have made the situation worst....

And so he resorted to the emotion of anger...

He freshened and came out with blood red eyes....

Kat: fresh agitu vaa naan wait panren....

Illa morning ayidichu nee thaniya poikaren nu sonna...

Then fine.....suit yourself....

I will however be waiting for you....outside....

Kathir went out saw the watchman..thanked him for letting them stay....

Kat: naan poi vandi start agudha nu pakuren.....

And to his luck, it started....

The watch man's wife forced them to have the breakfast before leaving which he did oblige....

So did Mullai with closed lips...

The journey from trichy to Karaikudi was rather a silent journey....

Neither did Kathir try initiating a conversation....

His heart was chiding him for letting go of the golden opportunity....

But his mind was asking him to stay stern..

To let his ego win...

His heart was warning him...

He was going to repent for letting his ego win....

But he felt his ego and self respect too much hurt.....

Mullai was feeling a bit guilty....

Despite all his lies....and him hiding even the fact of going to be betrothed soon...

Her heart was somehow taking his side.....

She  felt a bit guilty for letting out her words....

But,

Seeing his stance and anger.....

She stayed mum.....

Their hearts lost....

Instead,

Their ego won....

Kathir dropped her at the door of her step....

When she stepped out...

Kat: take care....

Uttering these words, he drove away....

Letting her feel bad for her morning's behaviour.....

The next few days....

They weren't their usual self.....

His stupidity of letting go of the good chance was killing him....

His anger and behaviour was irritating her....

I know the part is a mere filler...

Sorry for that in advance....
