After half an hour, kathir reaches mullai's house....

Like before, mullai comes out on hearing his bike sound and welcomes him with a smile...

M : vaa mama....

Kathir smiles at her and sees around...

K : yen de.. ipadi na adikadi vanthitu pona veetu paakathula irukavanga ena nenaipanga....

M : ne ipo tha rendavathu thadava vare...enamo daily vara madhiri scene podara...va ulla...

Both enter the house...

Kathir goes to sit in sofa..

M : mama...iru ukarathe....

K : yen??

M : mudhala sapidalam vaaa....

K : ( sighs) na sapitachu...
Ne mudhala vanthu nadanthatha sollu...

M : enga sapita???

K : veetula than...

M : intha chinna vishayathuku kuda enkita poi soluve illa ne...

K : ei na.....

M : ne sapidala nu enaku theriyum... akka phone panagha... ne ipo sapida varuve nu ethir paathutu irukagha... na ethum kamichukala ne inga varatha pathi... ne enada na veetula sapiten nu poi solre...

K : ei enaku sapida elam thonala.. neraya pesanum....
Athan apadi sonen...

M : sapitutu appurama kuda pesalam... thappu illaa..

K : sari de... eduthu vai.. sapidaren....

Mullai goes to kitchen and ask him to sit in dinning table...
She serves him chutney and kulambu...

M : iru dosa uthi eduthuttu varen...

K : venam na angaye sapidaren vaa...

He accompanies her to kitchen...

M : chair podava...

K : venam...

He climbs and sits on counter top looking at her preparing dosas....
Mullai notices him watching her and smiles at him...
Kathir returns a hidden smile...

M : konjam nalla than siriyen mama... nalla siricha unga kadai sarakku koranjuduma ena....

Kathir smiled wider...

K : vaayadi...

M : ithu sari... (satisfyingly)

For next few minutes, there was silence..
Mullai was preparing dosas and kathir was busy seeing her and eating...

K : ini pothum... vaayiru full...

M : inum onnu potuko mama...

K : ei ithe jhasthi... na paatuku una paathute neraya sapituten...

M : ithu neraya ah....athu sari...

K : ei ne sapitiya...

M : illa mama.. ini than...

K : sari ne sapidu...

Mullai places the dosa in his plate again....

K : ei na than pothum nu sonen illa....

M : athu enaku... ne poi kaiya kaluvu..

K : (stunned)
ithe plate la ya sapida pore...

M : namma chinna vayasula sapitathu illaya ena.. thirumba athelam nadaka arambikuthu...

K : sari ne uthu... na unaku utaren...

M : neeya???

K : yen de....kudaatha...

M : apadi elam illa...

Kathir started feeding her while she finished preparing dosa....
Even after finishing cooking, mullai didnt ask for plate to eat herself nor kathir gave it to her..

They finished eating and came back to living room with a relaxed heart and a mind full of jumbling questions....
