Following the vibrancy at suji's place, every second of the mehandi day slipped by beautifully with relatives and friends around for both kathir and mullai...

Though it was all fun with their people, it really seemed to be a quiet long day without hearing from eachother much...

It was just messages that kept them pass the day well along with the bunch of preparations for the marriage...

Finally after all works, mullai and gang retired to her room to sleep...

They spent some good amount of time in chatting and pulling mullai's legs....

They were not contended even with that and planned for something more...

Kar : naanga unaku help pananum na itha nee
pani than aaganum... yena solre... illana neeye un velaiya paathuko... engaluku onum prachanai illa...

M : aniyaayam de ithelam... design design ah yosikarenga...

M : neeyuma de...

Swar : hehee sorry de.. naanum than... unaku support pananum nu thonuthu... aana

M : varaathu de varaathu... yepadi varum...

She sent some messages but even before it delivered , there was a call from kathir....

Chorus : hoooooooooooo...

M : muruga... neram romba nalla iruku...(clutched her forehead with hands)

Kar : vanthachu... vanthachu...

M : please de... vitudunga...

Ta : nalla yosichuko.. un kudumbatha vechutu nee oru second kuda ipadi apadi poga mudiyaathu... engal sevai unaku thevai...

Chorus : moodddddd ahhhhhhhh...

M : aiyo... pothum de... mudiyala...

Kar : sari vaanga velaiya paapom...

They sat in the bed in circle with mullai's phone on centre... Karthi attended the call switching on the loud speaker and others gesturing mullai to carry on...

The gang enjoyed the talk as it started and continued passing comments in a whispering voice with chuckles...

K : Oi...

M : Hmmmm... sollunga...

K : yen panrenga madam... message um illaa call um illaa... en niyabagamavathu iruka...

Mullai tried to ignore their witty comments and concentrate on talking but couldnt hearing to their giggles...

A suppressed laughter echoed the room...

Though it was time for teasing mullai, she cleverly shifted it to swarna...

M : yenga intha abnormal dress matter ungaluku yaaru sonna...

The gang dispersed and settled in their places as planned with murmurs and glances at mullai...

Mullai switched off the loudspeaker and lied down the bed continuing the chat...

M : yenga sorry nga...

Mullai lied down on the bed talking in whispering tone but then again in few minutes karthi who was sharing the bed with her complained loud...

Kar : yen de ipadi than night full ah munu munu nu pesite iruka poriya...

M : yen de unaku yena prachanai...

Mullai threw the pillows on them, left to the terrace hearing their giggles...

Kathir's voice seemed to be disoriented as he tried to remember their chat... In just few seconds, he broke with hearty laughter confusing mullai...

M : yenachunga... yethuku ipadi sirikarenga...

She disconnected the call in anger...

M : thirumba kupitaalum attend panathe de... nalla avasthai padatum... ivalo kashtapatu veliya yellam vanthu pesaren... olunga pesalaam nu iruka... vera yaaravatha katikaraghalam... avalo thimir...

She started taking angry strides across the terrace, eyes never moving out of mobile switching between whatsapp and call register...There were few calls from him which she cut it abruptly and continued to ignore the messages saying attend the calls...

And there was a call again...

M : pothum de mulla.. yerkanave moonu call cut pani vitachu... itha attend panu... appuram appa ku kupitaalum kupiduvagha... ivughala namba mudiyaathu...

She attended the call just to hear the OI very near her ears and before she could turn a pair of hands locked her from behind making her shiver for a second..

It didnt take much time to understand who it is... off course It can be none other than him...

K : Oi...

M : Hmmmm...

He said nothing and his lips traced the nape of her neck giving her ticklish feel all along the trail... His hug made her more secure and her fuming anger seemed to dissipate in seconds, instantly all bants took back seat and mullai pushed herself into his embrace more...

Relishing the warmth of him for sometime, she could feel the huge wave of desire from the morning erupting badly... She pulled out herself from his hold, swiveled in his arms and her lips instantly reached for his face flecking with kisses all over... His arms clasped around her waist making her cling more to him...

It was like she have never been into kissing him nor he had never been kissed by her... They couldnt understand the fact everytime, everything looks new and enticing when it comes to them... Neither of them wanted to let go of eachother...

K : Oi....

M : hmmm.... sandai potathunala vantheyala...

K : illaa inga vanthutu than sandai eh poten...

SMOOCH...

M(surprised) : yena...

She moved to the other side of the terrace to see the gate locked..

M : yenanga velai ithu... athan ivalugaluku theriyum illaa... gate ah thiraka solirukalaame... key elam key stand la than irukum...

K : avanga thirakaren nu than sonanga... na than venam nu sonen...

M : hmmm nalla iruka...

K : unna madhiriye iruku...

There was a majestic and dense neem tree adjacent to her house which spread its branches to a portion of the terrace creating a shelter in that particular corner... The branches camouflaged the place completely like a room... There was a mat under the shelter which said that place has been used regularly...

They perched comfortably on the mat with his arms around her and her head on his shoulders...

M : intha kaathula,panila inga ukararathe thani sugam nga... cousins elam vantha inga ukanthu cards aduvom... inga than velaiyaaduvom... appuram naanu, amma, appa moonu perum ipadi neraya naal ukanthu snacks saapitutu time porathe theriyaama pesitu irunthurukom... saintharam kuda coffee inga vanthu ukanthu kudipom... ipadi neraya iruku... yellathaiyum miss pana poren...

What started as a excitement ended with a dejection...

K : yen intha paai la naalavatha oru aal ukara mudiyaatha... chumma chumma enna kalati vidare... ithelam na anubhavika venama... illaa namma kulainthanga anubavika venama... selfish de nee...

Mullai understood the meaning behind his words...

M : thanks nga...

She snuggled into him more and they sat for sometime wreathed in silence...

K : Oi...

M : hmmm...

K : na unna madhiri illaa de... tharalama thottu paaru...

He placed her hand on his chiseled chest playfully which palpitated hard... Definitly not because of her talks, something more than that...

M : yenanga achu... yeppo intha pechu yeduthaalum pecha mathareya... na yethum ungala force panala... aana venuma venama nu kuda pesa matengareya... yenathan problem ungaluku...
