Morning 7.30 AM...

Mullai woke up with a soft kiss on her cheeks....

It was tharan... ( Dheena and manju's son)

This is dheena and manju for you...

T : chithi....

M : hey chella kutti.... vaada vaada...

Mullai took him in her hands, hugged him tight and kissing him continously...

M : yepada vanthe...

Man : aama de nanga varathu kuda theriyama naala thongitu ipo kelu yepo vanthe nu..

M : akka.... (screams and hugs her in another hand)

Manju hugged her and kissed her in cheeks...

M : sorry ka... thoongiten...

Man : hmmm mudhala brush panitu vaaa.. appuram vechukaren kacheriya....nangalum fresh up agitu varom...

M : sari ka...

Manju and tharan left the room...

Mullai picked up her mobile to check for messages...

There were nothing...

M mindvoice : trichy kelambirupaghala....8 maniku kelambanum nu sonagha... inum elunthurikalaiya... Yen entha message um ilaa...

M msg : good morning... trichy ku kelambiyacha...

She left the mobile and got freshed up to see dheena, manju and tharan...

M : mama epadi irukegha... mama atha epadi irukagha.. ethuku avangala vitutu vanthegha....

Dh : super ah irukom elarum... ipo than eh nichayathuku vanthutu ponanga... athan mulla.. aama ne epadi iruke...

She started playing with tharan and speaking with them..

Man : yen ungaluku paatha theriyalaiya... munnadi elam namma varom na anju mani ku elunthu vasal la ukanthutu irupa... message panite irupa yenga irukom yenga irukom nu... ipo paarunga 7.30 mani varai thookam... apadi maari iruka...

Yes manju was right...this is how mullai used to be previously... but now she changed... Off course, she was on call with kathir till 1 or 2.... Not sure about the time.. So she couldnt wake up to receive them... To be frank, She didnt remember to wake up early.... Mullai felt bad for her behavior... She felt like she is not giving importance to the people who love her..

M mindvoice : cha yen ipadi agitom.... yarai paathiyum yosikarathe illa ipo elam...inime ipadi iruka kudathu...

M : konja late ah elunthuten ka... vidu vidu...

Man : konjam ah... oh ho.... sema kovathula iruken na... pesathe...

M : akka sorry ka.. venum ne ah panen... kochukathe....

Dh : avaluku kovam elam enga vanthuruku.. chumma vambu panra ne... vidu mulla..

Man : illa illaa kovam than...

M : apadiya.. ipo epadi kovama iruke nu paakaren...

She tickled manju in her hands and neck...

Man (laughing): chumma iru de loose..

Mullai's mind wandered to kathir's voice...

"Pode loose"....

She smiled dreamily....

Man : ei mulla... yena achu...

M : onum ila ka... iru varen....

She went to her room, checked for reply and came back dull...

There was usual talks about life, marriage preparations, kathir's family, tharan's health, dheena's work,etc....

Dh : chithapa... mapilla veedu varai oru yettu poitu varuvoma... nichayathukum varalaiye... engalukum mapillaiya paakanum...

Mu : athukena poitu vanthuta pochu...

M : mama avugha trichy ku oru velaiya poirukagha...iniki iruka mattagale...

Murugan and parvathi shared a naughty look...

Man : appo kandipa namma veetuku porom...

Dh : ei mapilla illama poi namma yena panrathu... chumma veetu aalungala paatha pothuma...

Man : ada chumma irunga.. iniki namma veetuku poitu vanthuduvom... naalaiki namma koil poganum nu plan panirukom illaa...avara anga vara solidalam... epadi idea...

Dh : vanthathume arambichutiya un mama velai ah... aama mulla ku na mama ah ne mama ah...

P : nalla panre de help uh.......aama apadi ena kodumai panitom unaku... atha solu mudhala...

Man : aama oru thadavai engala veliya poga viteyala.. epa paaru oru rule elathukum... athe nadakanuma mullai kum.. na mattum kunnakudi la irunthu iruntha scene eh vera... chennai la poi matikiten....

P : nalla velai de... ne kunnakudi la illaa...

Man : ada ponga chithi... chithapa.. namma mapillai ah nalaiki koil ku kupidarom sari ah...

Mu : sari ma.. kupitudalam... vidu...

Manju winks at mullai....

P : aama venduthal vechurukiya yena...

Man : aama chithi...neraya iruku.. naalaiki poitu vanthudalam.... naalaiki night kelambanum vera....

M : athukulaiya yena mama ithu...

Dh : leave ilaa mulla.. ivanuku udambu sari illama irunthapo vera leave eduthen.. ini thirumba kalyanathuku edukanume... athan...

M : ponga.. oru oru thadavai um ithe solunga...

Man : kalyanathuku oru vaaram leave eduka porom... apply kuda panitaru... athunala ipo manichudu... sari ah...

M : sari pona poguthu nu vidaren...

Man : aama intha suji varen nu sonna appuram thidirnu etho velai vara mudiyathu nu solita.. avaluku iruku nala..

P : sari elarum poi kulichitu vanga... sapidalam... mani ipove 10 aga poguthu.. na tharanuku otaren...

Mullai left to her room to see her mobile empty without kathir's messages...

M mindvoice : kalaila elunthathum msg panra aalu pathu achu.. inum panala...

Something troubled her inside...

She took bath and took her mobile to call him...

Her call was cut in between with a automatic message...

Call you later!!!

Her WhatsApp ping got delivered immediately after that...

K msg : trichy ku vanthuten.. velaiya iruken... mudichitu call panren... sorry....

M msg : sari nga....

M mindvoice : oru msg pana mudiyatha alavuku velaiya...

Mullai came out of the room...

Jega, kasthuri, gayathri, gayathri hubby with kids visited mullai's home.. They sat together chatting about everyone and everything... The lunch was a real galatta time over there...

Still mullai's eyes were on mobile often and thoughts around kathir...

Just half a day passed, but she could feel the void that was created in her...
The nearness of her loved ones never felt significant right now which made her feel more guilty about her current change of priorities...
She made up her mind and spent some quality time with them....

Evening....

Dheena, manju , jega and murugan went to PS home and shop met everyone...
As always PS family greeted and treated them with love making dheena and manju happy and satisfied...

They came back home and shared their opinion about PS family during their dinner...

Post dinner it was ladies time...

Man : romba nalla kudumbama theriyaranga chithi... atha mama(dheena's mom dad) nichayathula paathute sonanga...ipo enaku nalla puriyuthu...

Moorthy mama, jeeva mama kuda nalla pesaranga.. prachanai ilatha kudumbam than...

Kas : athuku than eh epadiyavathu intha sambanthatha mudichidanum nu apadi asai patten...

Man : yen athachi.. unmai ah solunga... neenga yepadi othukitenga.. ungalukum antha dhana akkakum than agathe....

Kas : ava panrathu elam enaku pidikaathu than.. yena pana... athukunu mullai vaalkai nu varum bothu namma atha than eh yosikanum.... ava yepadi iruntha nammaku yena...

Man : apadi yena avanga panuvanga... romba mosama...

Kas : dhanam mosam nu elam sola mudiyathu... aana romba nachu... over ah urimai eduthupa.. over ah pesuva... over ah advice panuva... mathavangala pathi yosikaren pervali nu avanga avangala yosika vida matta... akarai kaataren nu uyira vanguva... avaluku yena venumo athan than mathavangalukum venum nu mudivu pani panuva.... bayangara imsai... aana mosam nu solarathuku illa...

P : adiye.. jega thambi kaathula vila poguthu chumma iru vaaya vechukitu...

Kas : ada na unmai ah than eh solren... itha avaru kitaye poi soluven yena bayam enaku...

M : athu sari anne than eh ungala paathu baya paduthu...

Giggles.....

Man : ei mulla.. athachi kindal panalum konjam neeyum purinju nadanthuko... antha veetula yaru yaru epadi epadi nu ipove kettu vechuko.... onum theriyama poi maatitu mulikathe... periya kudumbam vera....

M : na paathukaren ka..

Kas : illa de manju... enaku therinju kathir thambi romba buthisali.. athelam prachanai varama kondu poidum... ne vena paaru ivaluku perusa imsai irukathu.. prachanai um irukaathu.. iva baeku madhiri purinjukama etha kulapam pana than undu.... antha thambi solratha kettu nadanthukita onum agathu....

Mullai was admiringly hearing about kathir...

Man : apadiya solrenga...

Kas : adichu solren... enaku yetu varushama palakam avugha elaraiyum... enaku theriyatha yaru epadi nu...
Kathir thambi matum mootha rendu per madhiriyum irunthu iruntha na intha samanthathuku othutu irukave matten.... kathir thambi vera madhiri....

Mullai got a thought why she never thought anything about his family members... Marriage is all about every relation right... All she wanted is only him... Its high time to know about others too atleast for their peaceful life.....

M : yen athachi.. avanga veetula yelarum epadi....

Man : romba sikiram kekara de...

P : ipovavathu ketale....

Kas : yelarum nalla vitham than de... thappu sola mudiyathu... ilana una thirumba padika vepangala.. athelam avangala madhiri yarum iruka mattanga... periamma, kathir, meena, kanna elam oru madhiri.. konjam yathartham... moorthy, jeeva ,dhanam elam konjam sentimental...

avalo than... mathapadi nallavanga than...

M : aama apuram ivugha avugha anna madhiri irunthu iruntha yen kalyanathuku othuka matten nu soniya...

Kas : adiye..avanga nallavanga than.. aniyayathuku nallavanga... avangala elam paaka nala irukum.. kuda vaala mudiyathu.. anga antha ponnu onnu kashtapaduthe... paakaren illa..

P : yaru kasthuri...

Kas : meena than.. paavam.. avaluku inum set agala antha veedu.. jeeva thambi apadi... nalla vela kathir thambi apdi illa...

Man : appo sari... mapilla than eh mukkiyam namaku... annanga elam epadi iruntha yena...

P : aama manju... athunala than kasthuri adam pidicha panalam nu.. apadiye nalla padiya nadanthuduchu...

Man : yen athachi.. mapillaiku intha cigarette, thanni palakam yetha iruka...

Mullai saw manju in shock...

M mindvoice : ada paavame pesina ithana naal la itha kekanum nu thonalaiye.. apadi elam yetha irukuma...

Kas : suthama ethum illaa de.. ivanga elarum kudichalum antha thambi paakathuke varathu...

M mindvoice : happada...

Man : paravala paravala...

The talk continued about PS family and kathir...

Mullai's ears was totally into hearing about kathir while eyes waiting for a single message or single call from him... But she didnt get any... she understood how badly she need him every minute... she understood how much she is addicted to his messages, his voice in short to him....

A part of her was happy with manju's plan of calling him to temple inspite of this missing game... she started to wait to tell him about the plan and for that moment....

It was around 9 .30 PM...

Jega , kasthuri and akash left to their home and all others retired to sleep...

Mullai came back to her room with mobile in her hands looking at it aimlessly....

10.15 PM

K msg : call panatuma...

She went on tears unknowingly... Its just 12 hours since he messaged her and not even 24 hours since he spoke to her.. but she felt as if the world is totally shut down.... For first, she understood the pain of love....

With tears blurring her vision, unable to type anything she called him...

K : Oi....

M : hmmmm (sobbing)

K : alariya yena.. yena achu...

M : onum illaa...

Tears started flowing down from her eyes...

M : hmmm....

K : hmm cinema la phone la mutham kudukaratha paakum bothe sirippa irukum... aana yenamo thonichu ipo...

Mullai fell asleep soon remembering his soothing words and first kiss on phone...
