Meantime dhanam calls jeewa.

D : apadina enathu?

J : sari vidunga.. onum ila ( Thinking himself annike therila iva epadi ? Jeewa ne ninaichatha vida ithu sikalagum) udane ulla povam

Mullai was already inside the room. Sitting near the bed. Keeping his palm inside her Palms. Fighting with tears trying to compose herself.

M : (to nurse) sister ean ithana oosi? Ithelam remove panalaya (they have inserted a needle adapter to give saline drips)

N : ila weak a irunthanga athan saline ethi irukum. Enga ithu kavanam aatirathinga. Two hours ku apadiye irukanum.

Oru oosiku ivlo feel panringa.? Unga feeling enaku puriyuthu. Kathalikira paiyana ipadi parka yarukum kastama than irukum.

M : athu.. ath..vanthu kaathal..

Jeewa came inside the room.

J : ena kaadhal? Yaruku yar mela?

M : vanga maama athu chuma pesitu..

Tha Nurse left out of the room.

Jeewa directly came and stand behind mullai. Put his hands around her shoulder, She shrugged. Don't know how to avoid him.

J : ena di romba than panra.. hmm sari inaiku muluka azhuratha uthesama? Athu than sonagale ivanuku onum ilanu. Athenadi apadi oru pasam.

M : ila oosi ellam poturukanga. Intha set up, hospital bed, mayakam vera theliyala. Enaku oru mathiri iruku maama. Pasama athelam apadi than.

Jeewa's possessive nature doesn't allowing him to be neutral. He was boiling inside ready to explode anytime.

J : antha kaiya evlo neram pidichurupa? Ne enthiri antha moolaila iruka matha chair la poi ukaru. Thookam vantha thoongu pogum pothu.

M : eanam? Nan poga matan. Ne venumna poi iru. She starts to caress his hair. Avanuku oosi nale payam. Romba valila irukan pola athu than.

J : yaru di iva.. ivan kadaila vela seiratha parthurukala? Ethana kilo sarakum thaniya thookuvan. Moradan di. Avanuku ithu valikuma comedy panitu iruka.

She desperately wanted to kiss his forehead, but controls her urge since jeewa is there. She even wondering why she having thoughts like this?

Kaathala? She smiles a little at that thought..

J : ipa ean sirikira?

M : ila sila visiyangala ninaichan. En kitta maama oru sathiyam vanginaru atha pathi ninaichan, kathir a pathi ninaichan.

J : (confused) sathiyama? Epa? Ena ketaru?

M : (sigh) ellam nama kalyanam pathi than.. maama ipa irunthuruntha nilamai veraya irunthurukum. Avar saagarathuku konja nal munadi than sathiyam vanginaru.

(She was reliving that day)

KK : ( crying) mullai..appa ini varamatara?

MM : (crying) azhatha kathir enaku payamaruku.. unaku kaachal adikuthu, pesama thoongidu, ellarum azhuthute thoongitanga paru.

She try to comfort him, ruffles his hair, tapping slowly to make him sleep.

KK : ini appa va nama parka mudiyathula? Enaku romba thaniya irukara mathiri iruku.

MM : nanum un kooda thane irukan kathiru (leans on him) en chellam la azhatha da..

All of a sudden he gets up from her lap.

KK :Hey ne inaiku mulluka sapdala thane mullai. Unaku pasikalaya? Paru nan kooda ivlo neram kavanikala.( He got some biscuits from kitchen) pudi.

MM : neeyum than sapdala unaku mattum pasikatha? (He refused) She feed him some forcefully. And make him sleep again.

KK : mullai en kaiya pidichukaven, vitturatha.. enaku payama iruku..

Vidamatan kathiru (she said it out loudly, which jeewa could clearly hear)

J : enatha vidamata? Hey mullai theliva than irukiya? Enachu.

He casually moved the opposite side of the bed. Sat on it.

M : athu onum ila. Ena sonan?.. jeewa maama antha pakam kavanam ukaratha intha oosi saline bottle a aati viturathiya..

J : (irritated) athelam engaluku theriyum romba than di landhu panra ne? Ellam en neram kadhalukaga poruthukuran.

Mullai continues her job keenly, looking at kathir and caressing his hair and arms then and there, little later as jeewa got a call he try to move to the corner. To his unfortunate he stumble and falls over kathir's hand..

The real mess.

That's the limit for the day, mullai lost all her patience. Suddenly she grabbed jeewa by his collar.

M : (shouting like a hysteric) nan apave sonanla..perusa pesuniya? Parunga evlo ratham.. ( the needle got broken and he is bleeding)

Jeewa too lost his calmness, as he witnessing this drama for the whole day and finally he explode

J : kaiya edu mullai... nan venumnu panala. Ivanukaga ne en mela kai vaikira alavuku vanthutala?? Avanuku valikitho ilayo ne thudichutu iruka.

M : padichu padichu sonan. (She starts hitting him)

J : yaru thevalama pesura? Veliya antha doctor un purushana nu ketkuran ula antha nurse kathalikiriyanu ketkuthu. Enakenna kaathu ketkathu, kannu theriyathunu ninaichiya?
Nanum sari nama kattika pora ponnache nu partha..romba than di alaparai panra. Ean di nan una thotta ena? Kaiya thatti thatti vidura?

M : aiyooo ethuku etha pesitu irukiya? Kathir apadi ethum solala. Thevalama pesathinga.

J : apadi enadi unaku pasam? En mela ilatha pasam avan mela. Apadiye urugura? En kitta vachum avan vara mudiyuma solu? Veetulaye avana thaname pidikum? En kittaye solura ila ne?

M : pothum ungaluku avlo santhegm na inum ean nikiriya? Poi intha nichayatha niruthunga.. nan sona enga appa ketka mataru neengale poi thaaralama niruthunga..

J : ithu onu solidu niruthunga nirithunganu. Enaku vara kovathuku ivana kola panura alavu kovam varuthu. Epayume ivanoda ithe velaiya pochu... chinathula irukthu ivan kitta irunthu una kaapathi vaikarathe enaku oru velaiya irunthuchu. Oru vazhiya mudinjathuna ipa marupadiya..ivana apadiye kolla poran paaru.

Mullai feels so emotional and drained pleading to him.

M : please kudumbama sernthu avana vathaichathu pothum. Enaku avan mulusa venum ethum panidathiya

J : (shouting) ena ena sona?

M : ena sonan? Avana onum panathiyanu.. (she was stunned to hear her own thought)

Jeewa realized the situation is getting out of hand, she was in a confused mindset. He doesn't want to dig that more. In calm and sweet voice..holding her close to him.

J : manichiru mullai kovathula kathitan. Ne kulapama iruka. Amaithiya veetuku po. Nichayathuku aparam parthukalam. Kathir ku, un friend ku onum agathu. Ipa ezhuthuduvan theriyama than di nadanthuchu. Avan en thambi thane venumna panvanga..inga paru mullai unaku en mella nama kadhal mela nambikai ilaya? Onum thapa agathu. Antha parigaratha enanu parthu panuvom. Athan ipadi nadakuthu. Nan una evlo nesikiranu unaku theriyatha? Sambantham ilama sanda poduram. Amaidhiya iru.

Mullai return to her position, she is really worrying about kathir's wellbeing. Nurse came and fixed the needle again.

Jeewa left the room informing her he will be back to take him home, as he got a call he left urgently.

J mv : dei jeewa porumaiya itha handle panuda. Kathir apadi panravan ila. Avan chuma irunthalum iva chuma irukanume? Etho palaya pasathula pesura neeye athai ithai soli kalyanatha niruthiduva. Pesama amaidhiya iru. Unaku ava venum na ne kalyanam varai poruthu than aganum.
Ne ninaichatha vida visiyam serious a iruku. Ne oru bala paritchaiku readya irukanum pola. Kathira neeyanu parthuda vendiyathu than.

Kathir got discharged, mullai waited for jeewa to come, no sign of him. She try to call him no answer.

M mv : sandaila kochitu poitagalo? Ethachum panatum ivan vera thuvandu poi irukan evlo neram ingaye irukathu? Pesama namale auto la kooti poiduvam. Varanu sona varahala paru. Konjam kooda porupe ila.

Inside the auto..

They are heading back to home.

Kathir falls on her lap.

she is caressing his hair with one hand and holding his hand with another one. thinking deeply.

Kaathala?

Kathiru unaku avanga kathunathu ethum keticha?
Evlo neram than da thoonguva?
Romba kastama iruka?
Enakum kooda apadi than iruku
En chellam la kanna thorayen.

She look into him, reluctant to disturb his sleep.

Epadi thoonguran paru.. mullai ipa ivlo sandaila ne itha yosichutu iruka paru. Maama solura mathiri loose agitiya di..

Hmm

Una ipadiye enga veetuku kooti poirava? Aiayooo vambu appa irupaha.
