A good sunny day ends, as dusk engulfs the sky with stars shining bright. while kunnakudi chose to plunge into the darkness of the night. Km room remained lit.

Kathir and Mullai were seated on the mat with their usual social distancing length between them.

Kathir initiated a discussion about the chennai trip that didn't happen.

M: koothaa... Enna aachu....sollunga...apdi enna paneeha...

she moved a little closer....

The excitement in Mullaiz eyes twinkled brighter than those celestial objects.

Kathir was taken aback for a moment looking at her....

Her eyes bespoke enthusiasm, waiting to translate his words into pictures,

Her eyebrows were arched up, ready enough to shoot questions at him,

Her lips held a secret smile which seemed obvious to him,

She shimmered pink and gold under the crimson light letting his heart sink in her beauty,

He almost forgot what they were discussing..

M: ennanga... Edho solla poreehanu ungalaye paatha...edho yoschikitu irukeenha...

Meanwhile kathir was gazing at her in awe.. the way she garlanded her thoughts together.

It rang melody in his ears... He did not have such thoughts..was not used to it...and no exposure as well... But as she recited...he was beguiled and imagined..... it felt serene.

M: ennanga ipdi pakareeha...

K: illa...evlo azhaga..korvaya soldra....apdiyae kanu munnala vandhu pogudhu....

Namma kandippa povom mullai..

M: ayyo adhukaga sollalanga.... paravalla...eppo mudiyumo appo poikalam ippo enna...

K: adhu seri...

K mv: Nee kekamalae ellam seiyanumnu nenaikarean...ana enga edhuvum nadakamatengudhu.....

He was indulged in his thoughts and was smiling...

M: aaathi... Iniku oruthavahalukku enna aachunu therilayae... Edho edho kekarahaa..,yosichu sirikarahaa...

Ennava irukum....she bit her lips...

When he looked at her.... She smiled at him and told...

M: Neenga ivlo soldrathae enaku sandhoshama irukunga...

K: apdiya...

Kathir gave her a pensive look and got up for his nocturnal routine.

The day doesn't end when Kathir doesn't say "seri padu" and they both retired for a good sleep.

TBC.
