$************$ Oonjal aadum $ *************$

Kathiripoo- I felt so urge to add these lyrics to Mullai's conversation but already chapter was too lengthy.. I suggest Kanmani's the song I want to mention there

A/N: Dear Kanmanis, you may find the last two chapters were long boring discussion though it revolves around KM.

I believe a marriage is not just a quick fix that binds any two people; it unites completely two different families and their future together and thus needs serious and sincere effort to make it happen all well for everyone.

And it's not a stage play, where you can just change the artist or swap their character when someone is not shown up; although am happy about the results I found difficult to accept the marriage day stunts in PS.

In any family everyone holds their part of responsibility in making a right marriage decision not alone parents or just those two individual. I want to be little realistic to show the Oonjal's entire family views and concerns on KM, you have another two chapters on similar discussion with next set of people, right before the marriage sequence. You may get answers for some of your earlier question. Be patient and get them.
