Moorthy came in and called upon jeeva and kathir

Mo: dei kathir Inga oru Vela iruku...nee pathathan seriya varum.. konjam pathu mudichutu va

He explains the details to him...

Mo: dei pesikitae irundha late ayirum..va da

J: aaahn...varean nae

Jeeva leaves half hearted....looking at Kathir ..while he gives an assuring look..

Kathir is waiting to finish his job and run home....

Mo and J enter home and see everyone is ready....

Kathir dials Mullai....

M: sollunga ...enga irukenga

K: Mulla...nee kilambi ready ah iru....enaku oru Vela vandhuruchu...Vara oru pathu nimisham aagum..

D: Avan soldrathum serithanae mama..

M: ah......seri Ka...

Ka: appuram enna....kelambalamilla

Mo: seri vaanga kilambuvom...

As all of them try to make a move, a sudden gush of air from the entrance...

A women barges in and runs towards the hallway...

Dhana Ka Dhana Ka.....

D: ei Enna aachu kala...ean ipdi pullaya thookeetu oode Vara....

Kala: Akka...she couldn't speak..her eyes are red and she is totally restless

D: ennanu sollu....

Kala: Akka...athaiku thideernu odambu seri illa.. veetla yaarumae illa...

Nan avasarama aaspathri poitirukean...

Naan varaen Ka..vandi vandhuruchu...

She hands over her baby to Dhanam.... and heads to move out.... After the sudden thrust into Dhanamz arms and seeing her mom leave....the baby starts crying profusely...

Kala couldn't help but leave the baby and run back to attend to her mil...

Everybody at home were jolted on what just happened over the past 2 minutes

The baby is still crying madly and Dhanam is trying to pacify...

Moorthy tried to calm the baby... No gain

Jeeva and Meena tried showing faces and played with the baby...no luck either

Mullai tried to help but she was little farther and couldn't reach amidst the chaos

Kanna tried to show some video in his mobile..but the baby wasn't heeding and did not even look at it

Nothing seemed to work and everyone went mad on trying to calm the baby...

Mo: ei Enna di kozhandha ipdi vidama azhudhu

D: Adhaan purila mama... She kept moving throughout the hall to show things out to baby and nothing worked...

M: who got the bag from kala..tried pulling out some toys from the bag and handed it over to kanna..

Ka: tried showing her the toys but that failed too...

Everybody were in their toes trying to do one or other to calm the baby...

The house was in a chaos with people moving around trying to do something ...in due course they tried to be in disguise of a child

This was new ..they have not experienced this....

Meena brought vessels from kitchen to bang and calm the baby... It only seemed to make her cry more...

They were all going crazy.....the cry of the baby was clearly disturbing and all of them seemed restless and wanted to calm the baby immediately

.............

Meanwhile In the shop..kathir called up the person who was supposed to come n meet him...he realized he is on the way and will take another 10 mins to reach.

He quickly informed KumM that he will come back soon and asked him to make a call in case the person arrives.

Kathir quickly went to the market to get the flowers for mullai.

In the market, he looked at a shop where he bought flowers offlate, they were fresh and alive...

He imagined her with a beautiful four strands of flowers... So he asked for...

K: Akka oru 800 poo kudunga

The lady smiles....and counts the malli...and hands over the 800 to him.

(To those who may not know...flowers are not given in mozhams like it is done in some parts..many places down south including karaikudi, kunnakudi they count the flowers and sell them in 100s😋)

He looks at them and is filled with joy..he takes them carefully back to the shop

He runs back to see that there is none in the shop, other than kumM

K: Mama avar varala illa..

KumM: varala innum..Adhaan pathukitirukean

K: seri seri....he brings the flowers

KumM: ennada Mullaiku poova...

K: sheepish smile...aammma mama

KumM: hmmm..nadathu nadathu... Dei idhu theriyama jeeva avlo kavala pataan

Ei...Avan elagina manasu karan... Un mogam vattama therinjadhum..pathareetan

K: amma mama...adhuu Ava phone la romba urukama pesavum ...enaku oru maari ayiruchu...seekiram veetuku poi avala pakalamna..Vela vandhuruchu

KumM: oh adhudhaan vishayam ma...seri seri
Ippo vandhuruvar illa...mudichutu seekaram kelambu

..............

House is completely taken over... every one is trying one or other crazy thing.. But the baby is crying continuously for about five minutes..since her mom left

Kanna is already exhausted... Enna idhu Indha Papa ipdi vidama azhudhu ..ethayum pakavum mateengudhu.. kekavum mateengudhu... Shabba kanna kattudheyyy

Dhanam has been adamant about not giving the baby to anyone..and carries her all along...

Mo J and M tried asking but she denied...she already warned Meena not to lift the baby

She believed she can handle the baby better and she can pacify her....all in vain

The family after a crazy turmoil felt exhausted...reality dawned on how difficult it is to pacify and the pressure is building up as they are worried the baby may get breathing difficulty the way it cries...or may end up having some trouble due to the continuous cry

L Amma gave her ideas too but that didn't seem to work as well

Ka: sapda edum kudpoma..mittai kudupoma..

L: dei azhum bodhu edhum vayila kuduthuradha...thondaila sikkikum

Kozhandhaiku theriyadhi vayula potalum azhudhutae irukkum... Apuram thondala sikki kichuna perum abadhu

Ka: aathi...ivlo vishayam iruka....epdi dhaan pinna samalikaradhu...

D: mama Enna mama pandrathu...kozhandha kaividama azhudhu

Ka: oru vayasudhaan irukum..evlo pidivatham paarunga

Mo: dei pesama iruka maata

D: dei edhuku azhudhunu theriyama edhavadhu solladha...konjam tension pannama iruda

Ka: ammam adhu ungalta solluchakum...Amma nee edachum vazhi solluma ..ivlo Pera valartha illa....

L: dei ..Indha kalathu kozhandaingalae Vera... Ungala maarilam illa...

Mo: seri ippo Enna pandrathu... Velila kootetu povoma...

D:mama adhellam vendam riskuu....

Then there was a steep silence...as they all ran out of options..

A voice came out suddenly.... "bujji ma...chella kutty"......and the baby tried to look for the voice....

One more time......."bujji ma...chella kutty"......

And then the baby stopped.... finally

Tbc.
