SLAM...

She banged her room door angrily and leaned on the closed door with eyes shut tight and a exhausted sigh...
Tear drops started rolling down from her beautiful big angelic eyes pushing the thick lashes apart as the voices kept thrumming in her mind...

"Muruga... Engaluku ponna romba pidichuruku..."

"Engalukum intha varan la pari poorna samatham shanmuga..."

"Intha maasathulaiye oru nalla naal ah paathu kalyanatha vechukalam madhani..."

"Illaya pinnaa... Naalaike poi nalla naal paathudalam mathani... direct ah kalyanatha vechukalam... nichayam ellam kuda venam..."

She gritted her teeth in exasperation as the words kept echoing inside...
More than all, the final words before send off added fuel to her helplessness...

"Hmmmm... so... mullai... this is a very special moment for me... you really cant know how i feel now... and i dont know to put everything in words... i am stammering in and out... still... thanks for accepting me... thanks for all these... and..."

And there was a call saving her for timebeing...

"hmmm... lets go... its time to leave... So... this is my visiting card... do call to my personal number... inime than neraya pesa vendiruke... hope you dont shy away anymore like today..."

Ufff...
It is hell...

It is too much for her to handle...
Her heart and soul became tired with things happening around..
Why cant everything that supervenes in her life be a chimera...
She laughed at her sitch thinking how insane she is who wants reality to be a dream and dream to be a reality...

No one would be like her...

Yes no one would be like her...

A bitter smile adorned her face...

She...

Mullai...

A independent, gorgeous, bubbly girl with stacks of soulful dreams, heaps of overflowing happiness and loads of love...

Lovable parents...
Affectionate friends...
Most loved job...
Non judgemental society...
A contented life...

What else would anyone need...

But then things changed...

Just because of a person...
Yes...
Just one person....

Just feeling his presence changed everything...

Who is it...

She twisted her lips symbolising that she has no answer...
She is in the process of searching the answer for it...
But even before she succeeded in her search, the mission has drawn to a close...

Is it...
Is it all over...
Can she do this...
Stop the search and go with the flow of life as her parents say...

NOOOOOOOOOO...

Mullai opened her eyes in a wink and screamed without her knowledge as if she was answering to her inner soul aloud...

She threw the visiting card in her hand tearing it into pieces not before glaring at it...
In no time, she whipped her saree apart literally tearing it from blouse and smashed on the floor making it a ball...
The flowers on the neatly plaited hair was not shown mercy...
Her favorite dancing jhumkas, the pretty bangles, adorning neckwear and even a fingering was literally pulled off and taking its place in every nook and cranny of the room...
She took off all signs of bride looks and unable to hold on more, she fell on the bed squalling uncontrollably thinking about the previous night...

P : oh ho... appo nee yevano oor, per theriyaathavana nenachukitu yethetho panitu suthariye... athelam pana mattum vazhkai romba nalla irukuma...

M (shocked) : maaa...

Mullai squealed in embarrassment and shock as she came to know her parents were aware of her little secret...
She could see flames of rage as well as feelings of dejection in her parents's eyes making her feel like dross...

P : vaaya moodu... sri yellathaiyum solitaan yengakitaa... atha pathi pesa enaku ishtam ilaa.. intha urupadatha velai ah vidu...

P : amma unaku venum na nee othukitu than aaganum... illaa maaten nu solaporena tharalama sollu... appuram enna uyiroda paaka mudiyaathu...

M/Mu: maa/parvathi...

Mullai stood rooted to the place hearing those acid dipped words even her tears freezed in her orbs...

Mu : paithiyam madhiri olarathe... yena pechu pesare nee...

P : ennala mudiyalainga... iva panrathelam ketathula irunthu enaku nenjellam azhuthuthu ... moochu mututhu...

Mu : nee konjam porumaiya iru... udambuku yetha...

P : vantha varatum... poi tholaiyaren...

M (crying) : maa... yen ma ipadi...

Mullai cried inconsolably lying in lap of parvathi unable to think of the words she heard...
She wanted a little touch of her mom to soothe her but parvathi was adamant not to give in...
Murugan who was shuttling between his wife and daughter was totally lost and tried to mend things separately...

Mu : ammadi... inga appa kita vaa...

M : paa... maa...

Mu : amma ullaa pogatum ma... parvathi... nee ullaa po... marunthu potutu padu... nan mullai kita pesitu varen...

P : aama ipo marunthu onnu than kedu...

Mu : parvathi... unna po nu sonnen... mudhala po...

As parvathi left the place in anger and anguish, murugan took shivering and sniveling mullai to the garden and sat on the swing...

Mu : ammadi...

M : paaa...

Next minute mullai was crying aloud lying in her father's shoulders clutching him tight...
Her cries turned to sobs by time as her father caressed her back soothingly trying to calm her down...
He waited till she was little ok and started speaking...

Mu : ammadi... amma pesinatha nenachu varutha padathe...

M : illaa paa... amma yen ipadi ellam... naan... naan... neenga illaama yepadi paa irupen... yena varthai... varthai... solitaanga...

Mu : avaluku sila vishayangalla unmela kovam ma... atha apadi kamichutu poita... vera yethum illaa... nee yethum yosikathe...

M : athu... amma ku... athu vanthu... sri sonathu...

Mullai struggled to form a simple sentence and murugan stopped her in between to clear things once for all...

Mu : inga paaru ma... konjam azhama solratha kelu... engaluku therinjatha thayavu senju avamaanama nenaikaathe... sri melayum thappu illaa... nee kalyanam venam venam nu solavum nan than avan kita ketten... romba force panen... athunala than avanum sonnan... yena irunthalum avanuku un life mukkiyam la... avan un close friend than ma... aana avanuke nee panrathu sariya padala ma...

Murugan's eyes glistened with tears making mullai feel the worst...
She remembered even parvathi had same tears before the left...
Her words about leaving the world drilled her heart with immense pain...

Till date, she had seen only pride, happiness, satisfaction, love in their eyes...
For the first time, she had kindled negative emotions in her parents...
She felt helpless and miserable not able to decide on anything further...
She couldn't put down her parents after all they were her life...
She kept silent not able to argue more or even voice out what she had in her heart...
Though she was stuck of words, her tears spoke expressed more how she felt...

Mu : ammadi... venam da... azhuthu azhuthu manasa kashtapaduthikaathe... namma itha pathi pesa venaam da...

enga ponna chamatha poi nimathiya thoongu... nalaiki kaalaila mudhala kanda nenapuku oru muzhuku podu... yellathaiyum thala muzhugitu santhosama iru... ellam nallathe nadakum... unaku oru azhagana puthu vazhkai kaathuturuku... appa amma ah nambu...

Murugan left the place giving her some lone time expecting her to wind up her stupid thoughts for good and get prepared for the future not before a tight hug...

"Unaku oru azhagana puthu vazhkai kaathuturuku..."

"Unaku oru azhagana puthu vazhkai kaathuturuku..."

"Unaku oru azhagana puthu vazhkai kaathuturuku..."

M mindvoice : aana nan yethir paakara vazhkai illaaye paaa athu... nan yena panatum...

As the words kept repeating in her heart, Mullai sat on the bed wiping her tears and reached for the dashboard to take a beautiful jewel box, her treasure trove...

With eyes full of pain and also a little euphoria just like every other time, her tender fingers fetched her fortune from the box...
As she took it in hand, her thoughts went past to the days she got her hands on it...

TBC...
