M : nan... athu vanthu... ( tears again)

K : ala matten ala matten nu solitu ne aluthute than iruka... ( in a blank voice)

M : illanga... athu.. ( shivering)

she couldnt speak.. She felt bad for her past.. She felt guilty...

Kathir sees what she is going through.. But just like mullai he decides to break everything between them...
No more inhibitions...

Kathir took his left hand she was holding and placed around her shoulders hugging her tightly...
clutched his right hand fingers to her right hand fingers...
His tight hug made her feel secure...
She lied on his shoulders..
There was a minute of silence...

Kathir decided to break it..

K : Mulla

Mullai looked up at him...

K : enaku unkita rendu kelvi kekanum... kekalama????

M : kelunga...

K : manasula thoninatha solidanum.. sari ah?? Romba potu una kashtapaduthika kudathu...

M : saringa...

K : na oru sulnilai solren.. antha sulnilai la ne irukaratha nenachutu yosichu athuku ne epadi nadanthupa nu solu.. sari ah..

Mullai is confused still nods the head..

K : Unakum jeeva anna kum kalyanam pesina neram.. apo anna amma anni ku intha kalyanam pidikala.. avanga solitanga.. kalyanam panikonga aana intha veetuku varathenga nu.. jeeva anne sari nu soliduchu.. jeeva anne ku ne na romba ishtam.. unga amma appa ku santhosham.. appo ne ena panirupa....
Appo ne iruntha mana nilai la ena panirupe.. aniki iruntha mullai ah yosi...

Mullai doesnt understand what all these questions about..

Her mind is in haywire... she is totally lost in kathir's question...

"Jeeva anna ah kadhalichitu irunthen nu sola poriya??? "

That question keeps ringing in her ears again and again...

But she didnt ask anything to him...

She decided to go with the flow...

Just answered to him..

M : apadi oru kalyanathuku othukitu iruka mattten...

K : en ??

M : enna enaku intha veedu romba mukiyam...intha veetu alunga mukiyam... avangala kashtapaduthi ethum paniruka matten...

K : un amma appa unkuda irukanga... jeeva anne unkuda than iruku appuram ethuku mathavanga???

M : neenga....

K : porumai ah kelu.. pesatha..

Enkuda ne poga kudathu nu solitanga.. apadi pona neeyum intha veetuku vara kudathu nu solitanga..

Ingaye irupiya illa en kuda varuviya??

Mullai replied without a second thought..

M : unga kuda vanthuduven.. ( looking into his eyes)

K : appo nama kudumbam unaku venama??

M : venum than.. ana atha vida enaku neenga tha mukiyam.. ( released her eyes from his and started looking their fingers that are locked together)

K : ne en kuda varathu unga amma appa kum pidikala...

M : paravala...

K : unaku unga amma appa vum iruka matanga....

M : neenga irupegha illaa....

K : apadi ena oru...

( Before he could complete the sentence, she blurted)

M : enala neenga illama iruka mudiyathunga...

Kathir's lips let out a divine smile and hands tightened the hug around her and pecked a kiss in forehead...

K : theriyum...

Athe madhiri meena anni jeeva annana unmai ah kadhalichathala than yara pathiyum yosikama elaraiyum, elathaiyum vitutu vanthanga annanukaga...

Unala atha paniruka mudiyathu... ena jeeva anne mela unaku irunthathu, irukarathu anbu...

Jeeva anna na paathu, palagi ,rasichu, purinjukitu avugha kuda than valanum nu vantha asai illaa...

Mullai looks at him with a flash in her eyes...

K : Appuram
Unaku appo anni mela kovam namba vechu emathitanga nu..

Jeeva anne mela kovam ipadi oru nambikai throgam panitagha nu...
Aana vera oruthiya kalyanam panitagha nu illaa...

Epadi avanga mela iruka kovathai elam maranthutiyo athe madhiri un mela iruka kovathaiyum maranthudu....

Antha nall la nadanthelam manasu la nenachutu etho thappu pana madhiri varuthapadanum nu avasiyam illaa... nadantha entha vishayathulaiyum unoda thappu ethuvum illaa..
Sari ah....

Mullai nods her head in acceptance... She understood what he wants to convey... When she blurted out she cant live without him, she meant it completely...
She understood what is like and love...
She understood what is infactuation and love...

K : na ena solren nu puriyutha??

M : Nalla puriyuthu...

K : ena puriyuthu???

M : mullai oda manasu...

Kathir grins at her answer...

K : inum ne jeeva anne na kadhalichen nu yosichu una kashtapaduthipiya???

M : ( with her signature bright smile ) kandipa illaanga...

Kathir is glad that she understood and let a kiss on her forehead followed by a silence...

M : yepadi enoda manasa ivalo theliva purinju vechurukenga?????

K : ( smiles with love) una na purinjukama yaru purinjukuva??? Sari ah???

M : Sari than... ( with a whole hearted smile)

Un edathula yar irunthalum na avan ah adichurupen than...aana adikum bothu iruka antha unarvu antha kovam vera..

Mullai has no reply now. Just lying on him hearing his words...

Mullai is amazed by how her husband understands her feelings which she was even not clear...
When he speaks, she could realise everything is on point..
She couldnt even deny a single word...

He had analysed every single thing about her...
Stands by her for what she is...

He protects her like her father...
Cares like her mother...
Understands like a friend...
Fights like a cousin...
Loves like a lover...
Atlast
Binds all these qualities into one and shower everything to her like a husband....

Can her life be better than this with anybody else???

No!!!! Never!!!!
