KATHIRU... KATHIRU...

DEI KATHIRU...

K : Ada kathiruku yena vechurukenga... yethuku ipadi oru kaththal...

Kum : aama aiya... azhaga, amsama oru ponnu paathu vechuruken... kattikiriya...

K : vera velai illaa ungaluku...  sollunga yethuku kathinenga...

Kathir who came out of the store room half way while buttoning the shirt with kumaresan mama's screams proceeded with the same and rolled the sleeve near the arms in his usual style...

Kum : kathaama yena da pana solre... neram achu da... anga poojaiye mudinjudum... nee ipadi thaamadham panuva nu therinju un annan vera solitu poirukaan... unna nerathuku anupi vidanum nu... illana enaku than thittu vilum...

K (smirking) : appo na inum late ah poren... nalla thittu vangunga...

Kum : adei... vambu pidichavane... kelambu da... neram achu...

K : irunga mama... kelambaren... kadaisi nerathula poi oru attendance podaratha vitutu poi manikanakula koila ukanthutu intha venduthal, parigaaram yellam panitu iruka mudiyaathu...

Ipo than elam mudinjutham... inum pathu nimishathula poojai arambichudum... jeeva anne solichu... ippo ponama vanthama nu irukalam... yepadi en idea...

Kum : hmmm... unna madhiriye iruku...

K : avalo azhaga ah iruku... irukum irukum...

With a wink at his uncle, He stood in front of his father's picture with bowed hands and kept a little streak of thiruneer after his regular prayers...

K : sari mama... na kelambaren... neenga rosemary ah nenachu kanavu kaanama kadaiya olunga paathukonga...

Kum : poda dei... en anubhavathula paathi than un vayasu... enakeva...

K : chumma mama... (pinching his cheeks)

Kum : aanalum iniki yenamo oru madhiri than da thiriyare... naanum paakaren... yena vishayam...

K : theriyala mama... oru madhiri nalla iruku iniki... neenga kuda azhaga theriyarenga na paarungalen... (tickling his hip)

Kum : yelei kelambi poda nu solitu iruken... yetho moraiponnu kita vamba panre madhiri panikitu iruke... iru unga annanuku phone pani arivurai thara solren... illaana dhanathuku phone ah podaren...

K : aiyayo... aala vidunga... athuku na kovilku poi kavadi ye yedukaren...

Kum : antha bayam irukatum... kelambu kelambu...

K : sari sari kelambaren...

Dei saravanna na sona delivery elam mudichudu...
Nan anga irunthu apadiye karaikudi ku poiduven... athunala iniki, naalaiki nee than paathukanum... antha hotel delivery mattum jeeva annana naalaiki paathuka sollu..

Sar : na paathukaren ne... neenga kelambunga...

Kathir bid bye to both and started in his bike enjoying the beautiful day out...
The leaves started falling off the trees  symbolising the autumn season...
The chill weather of the twilight started appearing as the mild hotness of the day was retiring... 
The sky was blazing with brilliant orange and red splash of hues giving a serene feel to the one who was enjoying it alongside driving...
The sun's rays started passing through the helmet and fell on his face making him feel so bright and vibrant for reasons unknown...
He started hymming a old song with a concealed smile and stopped as he reached the temple super excited...

It was shasti that got combined with a holiday and hence the temple was overflowing with crowd...
People were busy with kaavadi, paal kudam, flower garlands, prasadhaams and all other typical festive funs...
Before Kathir called up his family asking for their whereabouts to join them, kanna called asking for him...

Ka : anne... yenga ne iruke... poojai arambikka poguthu... amma, anna, anni elam unna ketukite irukaanga...

K : dei athelam kovil ku vanthachu... yenga irukenga nu sollu.. two minutes la vanthudaren...

Ka : inga aathukita irukom ne... aathankarai ku vaa... sikiram vaa ne... inga ivanga unna kettu nachikitu irukaanga... thaanga mudiyala...

K : varen da vei...

Kathir moved to the river bank in search of his family and found them returning back after having a customery sprinkle of holy water...

D : yen da sikiram vaa sikiram vaa nu yevalo thadavai sonnom... yella venduthalum mudinju vara...

K : athan nallapadiya mudinjuthu illaa anni... appuram yena... time agiduchu... paarunga mani adikaranga... neenga ponga... naan kaal kaluvitu varen...

D : yetha saaku sollu... sikiram vaa...

K : hmmm.... sari anni...

Kathir descended the pathway to the riverbank as the family left to the temple premises...

Suddenly his already excited mood seem to increase and his heart seem to flutter as if there were butterflies all over...
Still oblivious to the reason, he wiped off his legs and started climbing the stairs catching the edge of the dhothi in one hand...
As he proceeded up to the temple out of nowhere, his eyes fell on a gorgeous girl who was descending down with a bunch of girls...

She was decked up in a mango yellow saree with copper sulphate blue border with same blue blouse...
The way her jhumkas dangled for each of step and how her bangles coordinated with it gripped him more to her...
Forgetting the time and place, His orbs worked in a perfect blurred mode and everything around went hazy except her...
It was just him and her...

As she glided past him he swiftly turned to her gaping at her...
Her thick long plait adorned with lots of jasmine flowers gave him a unique enchanting fragrance...
It felt like a mesmarizing poetry to watch her walk with her plait dancing, the show of beautiful anklets when she did dip her legs in the water, flutter of fingers when she sprinkled water on her head and the saree pallu tucked in her waist while climbing back the stairs...
His eyes didnt leave her till she moved away from the place to temple and followed her instantly...
Just to make him drop to present, he received a call from kanna again...

Ka : anne.. sikiram sannithanathukita vaa nee... yellarum wait panranga... namma poojai arambikka poguthu...

K : ufff... varen da vei...

Reluctantly he took a look at the girl again and reached for his family...

D : yenga da ponne...

K : athu... kaal kaluvitu vara late agiduchu anni...

Ka : dei anna... nee late pana nerathaku erumai maataiye kazhuvi irukalam... avalo late...

K : dei anna ah... tholachuduven... kovil nu paakaren....

J : yelai... vidu da... antha comali ah appuram paakalam... anne moraikuthu saamiya paarunga..

As jeeva alerted, moorthy looked back the brothers and immediately all three closed their eyes in the name of prayers to escape his boring lecture...
After a few minutes prayers, the family had a good dharshan and settled in a less crowded space eating the prasadhaams with regular chatting...

L : nalla kootam la moorthy... nalla velai nerame vanthu yella venduthalum mudichutoom...

Mo : aama ma... yellam nallapadiya mudinjuthu... ippo than thirupthiya iruku...

Me : aama vecha venduthal yellam mudinjuthu... kathir... ini ungaluku than puthusa venduthal vekkanum... vendikkonga adutha varusham kalyanam agi pondaati oda kovil ku varanum nu...

With the mention of the word "pondatti", his thoughts sprang like the spring unknowingly to the girl he saw few minutes back...
He didnt how and why for the sitch...
But the one who never thought about marriage or hated the idea of marriage loved it for the first time...
The image of the girl as his wife gave him a wide grin shocking the entire family...

Ka : anne... yepayum aiyo kalyanama nu oru paatu paaduve... yena ne sirikare...

D : athan eh... dei kathiru... nethu varaikum apadi than eh da iruntha...

Me : hmmm ippo yena puthusa oru type ah sirikarenga...

K mindvoice : aiyayo... CID gang kelvi kekka arambichutangale... kathiru... escape aagu da... sikina vechu senjuduvaanga... samaaali...

K : haaan... athu onum ilaa anni... saami yena matrimony ah nadatharaaru ketathum readymade ah ponna anupa nu nenachena athan sirippu vanthuduchu... (a smile with all teeth)

Ka (suspiciously) : ithu sirikaralavuku avalo periya joke illaye... romba mokkai ah iruke...

Me : athan eh... aama neenga yethuku ippo inga illichavaaigaluku competition vekkara madhiri eeee nu sirikarenga... kathir nale alavaana sirippu than eh... yetho thappa iruke...

K mindvoice : aiyo naan eh onnum illatha madhiri kashtapatu acting panren... ivanga kandupidichu pottu kuduthuduvanga polaiye... ithula ayiram kelvi vera... ithuku mela inga iruntha maatipom... escape agu kathir...

K : athu...antha jokeku ku than anni sirichen...

Ka : yethu athu joke ah...

K : unaku appuram vechukaren  kacheri ah...

amma naan kelambavaa... karaikudi ku poganum la... appuram iruttudum...

L : sari da... paathu bathirama poitu vaa... ponathum kupidu...

K : sari ma... varen ne... varen anni... varen da...

Kathir escaped the questionnaire family along with their suspicious looks and went in search of the girl again...
As he went around the temple, his eyes scanned seriously for the yellow saree with heart questioning why did her thoughts got blended with the word marriage and wife...  With all endeavors physically and mentally, after a ten long minutes of hide and seek he found her standing with a elders gang maybe her family...
Kathir just stood with a little distance not knowing what to do next but his eyes busy in looking at her...

"Ammadi... poi un kaiyaalaiye panatha annathaanathuku kattitu vanthuduma... kattitu vanthathum kelambalam.... neram achu..."

With those words from a elder person, kathir saw her walking to the temple office along with some small girls...
He understood he cant speak with her with people around and frankly he didnt know what to speak nor how to speak...
He just followed her to everywhere she went and finally after she left the temple stood confused what these new feelings are about...
Then...

Mo : dei kathiru... kelambaren nu solli oru mani neram aachu.... inum kelambaama yena da panre...

Kathir saw the entire family coming out of the temple with more prominent suspicious looks as he got caught red handedly...

K : athu... vanthu... anne...

K mindvoice : aiyo oru ideavum vara matenguthe...

D : yena da muzhikare... yena achu...

Ka : kathir anne yenamo sari illaa...

K : dei pesi vaangi katikaathe... athu... anni... rajesh varuvaan nu wait panren...

D : dei avan trichy la illaa irukaan... yeppo kunnakudi vanthaan... enaku nee solave illaa...

K : correct anni... athu... haan... avan anga than irukaan... athan naanum kelambitten...

Me : yenga trichy ka...

K : aama anni... illaa illlaa... karaikudi...

mindvoice : aiyo sothaparome...

neram achu....naan kelambaren ma... varen ne... varen anni...

Mo : ithena ivan yentha naalum illatha thirunaala ipadi pesiye kulaparaan...

D : athuku than maama kaalagaalathula avanuku oru kaal kattu podanum nu solren... athukaana yerpaada panunga mudhala...

Ka : yen kaal kattu potta pesi kulapatha... yena logic ithu...

J : dei athu kaal kattu illaa da... vaai kattu...  ennaiyum annanaiyum paathuma unaku puriyala... naanga pesa gap vitta than eh pesa mudiyum... pesave mudiyalaina yenga poi kulaparathu...

Me : dei jeeva...

L : meena...

Ka : subam...

Sep 30, 2018...

Kathir and his friends took their favorite hot piping tea from the roadside shop and sat on their bikes chatting...

Sen : dei kathiru... neeya da ithu... nambave mudiyalaiye da...

K : dei naan inum onum solave illaa da... athukula intha reaction thevai ah...

Raj : nee oru ponnu paakarangrathe periya vishayam than da... so reaction kudukalam thappu illaa...

Surya : ada irunga da... matter ah full ah keppom... sollu da... kovil la oru ponna paatha... sema azhaga iruntha... romba pidichuruchu... kalyanam nu sonale ava mogam than varuthu... appuram...

K : appuram yena yaaru nu kandupidikanum nu...

Sen : engala kupita... athu than eh... theru theru ah suthi antha ponnu yaaru yena yethu nu details collect pananum... kaalangaalama hero oda friends ku ithu than eh velai...

K : dei... pesa vidu da enna... kandupidikanum nu naan eh visaarichen... ava kunnakudi than... enga veetuku oru naalu theru thalli than veedu... B.Sc computer science mudichuruka...

Raj : super da... per yena...

K : athelam theriyala da... ivalo than details theriyum... oor la yellame sonthakarangala irukanga illaa kadai vishayama therinjavangala irukaanga... ithuku mela oru ponna pathi yepadi kekarathu nu theriyala... thappagidume... athan kulapama iruku...

Surya : sari vidu... yosipom...

Sen : aama da... yetha panuvom... aamaa athuku yethuku ippo trichy vanthuruke... engalaiyum vera vara soliruke...

K : dei intha college la than da ava padichaalam... iniki graduation day nu newspaper la paathen... kandipa varuva nu thonichu... athan inike yetha panalam nu...

Raj : ada paavi... athuku than intha tea kadai ah select pani vara soniya...

K : aama da... college ku opposite la iruntha than eh vasathi...

Surya : yen aapdiye ullaiye poiden...

K : athellam vanthathume security kita  visaarichuten... invitation iruntha than ullaa poga mudiyumam... B.Sc ku moonu manikaam... yepadiyum anju kula mudinjudum la... wait panuvom...

All three looked at kathir chuckling and teasing him abundantly...

Sen : sari da... iniki graduation... ponnu varum ellam ok... next yena...

K : athan da theriyala... naan unga kita sonathelam poi antha ponnu kita sonna asingama irukaathu... athum ava enna thirumbi kuda paakala... naan yaarune theriyaathu... yena pana nu puriyaama than ungala kupiten...

Surya : enga thalaike oru thalai vali vanthuduche... unaku thalai vali thailama irunthu itha naanga sari panrom da...

K : ada cha... dialogue adikaama yena panalam nu sollunga da...

The friends spent time in discussing the permutations and combinations of what can be done and how things can be proceeded along with lots of hot tea's, samosas and bajjis...
Sametime kathir's eyes never left the college gate scrutinizing the crowd for her...
Finally the wait was over...

She came out from the college with happy cheers and giggles exciting kathir...

K : dei... dei...  antha ponnu than da... antha red car pakathula oru anju per nikaraanga la... athula...

Chorus : antha yellow chudithar ah...

K : yepadi da theriyum...

He knew the answer by the time he asked the question...

Yes...

The one who was happilly chatting with her friends seem to freeze and was looking at kathir dumbfounded...
It was just a 30 feet road separating them and he could see so well her look along with her stunned reaction...

Sen : dei antha ponnu ku unna yaarune theriyaathu... thirumbi kuda paakala nu sonne... ava yena da brammichu poi unna paathutu irukaa....

Raj : ivana than paakarala da... illaa vera yaaravatha...

Kathir didnt know where did he get the courage from, he got down from the bike and took off near her with his usual steady gait...
And yes he could see all the while she was engulfing him with her big eyes with a mix of shock and surprise...
As he reached for her, he called her in his deep toned voice just to get back a acknowledgement in a husky voice...

K : Oi...

M : hmmmmm...
