MM came to ps home. She was all alone. Seraching for KK..

He was in the backyard. Sitting there dwelling in the momery of his father and MM. He too doesn't have anyone near with him these days. He had lost his father recently.

And along with that as a repercussion of his family's dispute with Murugan family. He had to lost his MM too.

Murugan and parvathy now staying in separate home. KK didn't bother about them. But Mullai is always his mullai..

The grief of his loneliness taking ugly turns on his life.
His mother was not well, brothers are too busy in searching for beard and butter. He left alone all by in his own,..Slowly these days he has experiencing a whole change in his attitude behavior and preference.
The amount of weight is too heavy. He couldn't hold that with his little heart... kathir passing his days like this.

MM : ( goes behind KK, closed his eyes with her tiny Palm, leaning on his back. Little louder) Kathiruuuuu 😍

KK knows it was her even before she closed his eyes.
With her anklet sound itself he has identified its her.

But he did an unforgivable act or rather a crime..😱

It was not a mistake. He commit  it purposely.

To hurt her.

To hurt her in every possible way.

The god inside him was conquered by the animal

he knows he gonna repay for this later. But yet committed the heniues act.

He had pulled her tiny hand hard as possible. Grabbing  by her wrist with full force.

MM didn't expect this. She was  expecting him to call her " Chellam" as usual. Her tiny body and soul not ready for this violence. She fell down with the force and hurts her leg and elbow. The wounds were bleeding outside and inside in her tiny heart. 💔

He merely looking at her with irate eyes. Though MM hurt. She managed to got up. And told the most innocent words in her sweet voice

MM : ( hiding her pain and tears) Maama naan than Mullai. Vera yaronu ninaichu payanthu thalli vittiya?

Those words...
Her innocence..
Her purity...

Kathir couldn't take it anymore. He yet again started to scold without checking about her wounds or making her comfort.

KK : ne eduku vantha? Enga unga appa vanthurukara ( with a teasing smile)

MM : thaniya than vanthan kathiru. Amma ena poga venamnu soliruchu. Unga kooda pesa koodathunu solichu..neengalum yaarum ena serthukaringale ila ipa ellam.

KK : serthuka mudiyathu. Vaa unga veetuku pogalam. (Angrily but he was scared to send her alone)

MM Suddenly took something from her frock pocket.

It was some chocolate...

Extending her hand infront of him and said

MM : kathir maama inaiku enaku porantha naal.. ne wish panave ila. Yarume panala.  Ne varuvanu enga veetu vaasala romba nerama irunthana... una kanam. Aparam nane vanthan. Intha eduthuko..

She struggled a little to keep her hand straight as she hurt her elbow.

MM : ahh valikithu kathiru. Itha eduthukoyen..

He refused...
Tears on her eyes..
She begged.

MM: eduthuko maama. Please please.. she was about to cry in disappointment.

Kathir was all broken and shuttered inside. He remembered how he used to be the first one to wish for her birthdays. Since birth he was there with her for all her birthdays. he smiled a little thinking How she used to close her ears not to hear anyone's wishes before his.

How could a person can hurt a little girl like her?

What she did to deserve such hate?

He pulled her hard towards him and hugged her closely and told those words for one last time.

Happy birthday chellam 😍 and kissed her cheek for LAST time.

She was all ok now forgot all his crime he committed short while ago.
She started to kiss his cheek

One... 😘

Two 😘😘

Three 😘😘😘

thats it the LAST kiss. 😘

And suddenly he turn as a beast again..

He starts to shout at her vigorously

KK : sari wish pantan la. Mariyathaiya poidu. Intha pakkam una ini nan parkave koodathu. En munadi varatha..ini kathiru nu solitu intha veetu pakam vantha. Nan ena panuvanu theriyathu... podi. 

MM standing still..she was shivering.. words are getting stammer as she couldn't form any.

He is  not her kathir.
he is not her maama.
He is not the one who calls her chellam.
He is not the one she used to like

MM : kath ka..nan onume pana panalaye. Kovama??

She try to hold his hand.. she was all scared. started to crying inconsolable..

She wish
If he could hug her one more time
Make her feel safe one more time.
She was craving to hear " nee enoda chellam di" in his voice.

Nothing happened

Fate had its own plans instead

He grabbed her hand she was arching with lot of pain as she already bleeding. He dragged her to the room.

Behaving like a insane he fetch a bag. And pick random toys and books to stuffed it

KK : intha pidi. Ithula nama vilayanda ella porulaiyum vachurukan.. ini atha thedi vanthan itha thedi thaa kathirunu ne intha pakkam vara koodathu.

MM : (pleading to him) please please kathiru ipadi panatha da.. enakuuu romba payamaruku...😢😢 ena poga solatha kathiru. Ne en chellamilaya?

Nope he was not budging. Suddenly he remembered one thing. He went near to his shelf. Took a paper. Intha vachuko ithayum eduthutu po.

MM : (with lots of pain in her eyes) maama unaku nan koduthathu ithu. Unaku venama ( she was all disbelief)

KK : venam (voice sounds like a steel)

MM : naanu?

KK : neeyum tha.

MM : pesave matiya

KK : ila di

MM : vilayaada? Parka mattumavathu

KK : venam

He just stuffed that letter to the bag. dragged her to the door entrance.

MM was all crying..

KK : vaadi una inaiyoda nan parka koodathu una kondu poi vittutu vanthuran vaa.

He saw Jeewa at the gate.

jeewa rushed to them.

J : kathir dei ena da... kaila ena bag? Ean da mullai azhuthu? Sandai pottitingala?

He continues.. looking at mullai

Ean azhura mullai. Athum ipadi? Adei adichiya da?

KK : anna ivala kooti poi vidu ava veetla. Epa paaru vanthuruthu imsai. Ini inga varadha..

J : dei enada china pulla da athu? Iyoo kai la vera kaayam? Mullai vaa ma nan kondu poi veetula viduran.

She took the bag and went along with jeewa. turns and see kathir with her longing eyes. Full of tears 😭

Jeewa carried her to her house.

At the gate entrence. He asked her what happened.

She explained in short

MM : (weeping)  nan onum panala. Chuma than ponan en kitta kochikitan.. avan ini pesamatana maama ( she was literally longing to play with him)

J :  (with teary eyes) mullai ne nalla ponnu thane nan onu sonna ketpiya?

MM : solu maama

J : Mullai ini ne anga varadha da. Una ellarum ipadi paduthuratha enala thanga mudiyala... iniyum anga vanthu ipadi.. venam ma. Nee konja naal varatha. Ne valara varai.. enaikachum ithu sari agum di.
Nama marupadi ona ellarum seruvam. Apa ne varalam. Ipa ne china ponnu konjam varalara varai iru mullai. Maama kandipa una antha veetukula thirumbi vara vaipan
Unaku puriyutha?

MM hugged jeewa and cried alot.
And said

MM : Sari maama

J : Happy birthday mullai 😍

MM : thanks maama. Intha intha chocolate a vangiko. Avan venamnu solitan.

J : sari ulla poi maruthu potuko. Nan sonathu gnabagam vachika sariya? Patharama iru mullai. Nan varan.

MM can feel a huge vacuum in her heart..she was craving for some love. But all she got was hate, vengeance and more hates....

From that day onwards mullai stopped celebrating her birthdays.

And she buried little MM within her..

And never let her out afterwards.....

TBC...
