--------------------------------------------

M : KATHIR!!!

In a flash of the second,

They were in eachother's embrace...

They froze for sometime in same position as if they were inscribing to their heart that they were together...

Somehow, they had to break the silence unwillingly...

K : ei thakkali.... nee ok ah... romba kastama irunthucha...

M : kashtama...

That was a only verbal response from mullai... All he could feel was his tee getting wet with her silent tears...

K : alariya de.. hey yena achu... sollu...

Kathir tried to get a glimpse of her face by moving out but she pulled herself more into him tearing up badly..

A wave of fear surpassed him instantly...

Till that second, he didnt have much thoughts about her pubescence...

As per him it was just a physical change she was undergoing now...

His concerns were different only from his point of view...

Do she miss him...

Do she have same feelings just like him...

Did she realise about them anytime in these days...

But all his newly found feelings, questions and excitement took rear seat seeing her tears...

He could feel concern about her health solely oozing out from him...

Is it not a just a natural physical thing...

Is it something more...

Is she sick...

Is it so worse..

Is it taking toll on her health...

He just know the theory behind the menstruation...

But completely no idea about how it would feel...

Though he had his mother and sister at home, he was not aware of those details...

K : patharuthu de... sollu yena achu... mudiyalaiya... romba kashtama irukaa... udambu sari illaya... illaa vera yethavatha... sonna than eh theriyum...

M : .... (crying)

K : solli than tholaiyen de.. yena achu.. thayavu senju azhathe... stomach pain ah... romba athigama iruka... illaa vera yethavatha... athan 10 naal ache inum bleeding iruka... yena panuthu... romba kashtama iruka...

M : kashtama iruka... paithiyam mattum than pidikala... iniki mattum ne varalaina athum pidichurukum...

K : yena...

M : mudiyala kathir... suthama mudiyala... unna paakama, pesaama irukaave mudiyala... namma ivalo naal ipadi paakama pesaama iruka vendi oru situation varum nu nenache paakala... aana vanthuduchu...

He was questioning her about her physical changes but all he was told was about her heart felt feelings... She didnt wait for him to reply.... She continued pouring her heart out in between sobs...

M : anniki oru naal nee vanthapo enaku suthama mudiyala... appo than eh starting... kashtama irunthuchu... thoongiten... apurama paati soli than theriyum.... ne vanthe nu... azhugai ah vanthuchu theriyuma... apadi azhuthen... antha time la nee kuda irukanum pola irunthuchu...

K : ....

M : appuram wednesday anniki nee vantha illaa.. un voice ketuchu da... udane unkita oodi varanum nu irunthuchu... aana intha room ah vitu veliya vara kudaathu nu strict order... vantha thituvaanga... ne inga iruke nu therinjum paaka mudiyaama avalo kashtama irunthuchu... anga step kita ninnu ne pesaratha ketute irunthen... Annikum romba azhuthen theriyuma...

She continued with sniffs while he stood startled...

M : anniki rombave mudiyala... appuram yena panrathu nu theriyaama unaku phone pannen da.. apuram...

K : phone paniya... kelaye vara mudiyaathu nu sonne appuram yepadi de pana... akka vum sonnale ne pesa mudiyaathu nu...

M : night 12 o clock ku mela yellarum thoonginathuku appuram vanthu panen...

K : wednesday night ah...

M : aama...

Yes... He did remember getting a call in midnight and his father attending it...

He remembered it so well...

It was the day he came to her house and returned with no luck of seeing her...

It was the day he decided to try someother means to meet her even ready to do it stealthily...

It was the day when jeeva made him understand there is something more in his heart for her...

It was the day he was counting steps in the house without sleep so he very well knew about the phone call...

He chided himself for not picking up the call inspite of hearing the ring first...

So was it the same for her...

Before he could ask, she continued...

M : loose madhiri yetho kuruttu thairiyathula vanthu paniten da... mama attend panaaru... appuram than yena velai panen nu bayam vanthuduchu... vechutu vanthuten... annikum romba azhuthen...

The eyes that poured out continously made him forget all other thoughts...

K : ei thakkali... athan na ippo vanthuten illaa.. azhatha... please...

M : hmmm...

K : please de... ne azhutha enaku kashtama irukum illaa... azhatha... enakaga please...

M : illaa da... azhala... thidirnu paathathum than oru madhiri agiduchu... ne feel panathe... unna paathuten illaa... ini sari agiduven...

She peeked to see his disturbed face and let out her signature grin making him smile automatically...

K : ne sari aana naanum sari aagiduven de... sari ah... azhatha...

They tried to drive down the tension of past days aside with a smile and sigh wiping the tears...

After few moments, the hold went slacked and they jolted away from eachother awkwardly with a embarrassed face and lips blurting out apology at the same time...

K,M : Sorry...

Wait...

Sorry???

They shook their head and looked again at eachother...

Why did they apologise now...

For the hug???

Was it new...

Nope...

Gripping arms, lying on other's shoulder, entwining hands together, smacking eachother and many more were quite normal for them...

A one armed hug is always what they share after a row...

Its their way of ending the fight pleasantly...

There had been lots of instances of hugs when mullai cries for something...

It was his way to cool her right from childhood...

The samething happened here...

But...

Why this apology...

What was running in their minds...

The questions piled up again...

Some more confessions needed...

And all those can wait...

Not the time...

They postponed all confusions to other time and got back to the present...

M : aama nee yepadi vanthe.. yepadi unna vitanga...

K : yenga vitanga... thirututhanama vanthen... rendu thadavai vanthum paaka vidala... athan amma, atha sadangu ku azhaika poranga nu sonathum kelambi vanthuten... paati mattum than eh... manage panikalam nu... thalai vali coffee podu nu soli anupitu oodi vanthuten...

K : naanum than de... paithiyam pidicha madhiri than irunthuchu... suthama mudiyala... anniki wednesday vanthu paaka mudiyalainathum pesama night vanthudalama yaarukum theriyaama nu yellam thonichu... aana vanthalum yepadi paakarathu nu theriyala... yosichu yosichu mandai kulambinathum than micham... ithuku mela mudiyathu nu thonichu... athan yena aanalum paravaala nu vanthuten...

M : hmmm nalla velai pana da... illana inum naalu naal paakama irunthurukanum...

K : aama de... sari atha vidu... unaku yellam ok ah... romba kashtama irunthucha... inum bleeding iruka...

M : ilaa da... mudinjuthu... first one week romba kashtama irunthuchu... appuram stop agiduchu... aana namma veetula padutharanga kathir... kashtama iruku da...

K : yena de achu...

M : neraya restrictions potutaanga da... intha room vitu veliya vara kudaathu... inga paati,amma, lucky maa matum varuvanga... yepavaavathu vasantha athai, athachi vantha undu... vera yaarum varathu ilaa.. appa , mama kuda aniki mudhal thanni uthinapo paathathu... appuram paakave illaa... ipo than unna paakaren... vera yaarume varathu illaa... mela sweeping, mopping kuda amma illaa luckymaa eh panidaranga... maid kuda varathu illaa...

Only then his eyes explored the room she was which made him boil...

There were two mats spread on the floor with two pillows and two blankets..

Radio and some novels were lying on the mat...

One corner had her school bag and books..

A earthen pot with water was just near the door with a tumbler...

Near to that were some silver boxes and a silver plate...

Some wierd things like neem leaves, broom, steel rod, weaved coconut tree leaves were lying aside the mat...

K : yena kanravi de ithelam... room ah ithu... bed illaa.. ac illaa... sofa illaa... teepoy illaa... onume illaa...

K : yena achu...

His voice was getting stern second by second as he heard her concerns so was his mood...

M : normal ah sapidarathu elam kudukarathu illaa... ulunthu kali, ulunthu kanji, athu ithu nu kudukaranga... yellame mokkaiya iruku... thani kuda verum thani illaa... venthaya thani than...

Oru pathu naal unnala thaniya unnaa paathuka mudiyaatha... yepavume nan unaku pinnadi kaavaluku kaavadi yedukanuma... yeppo than de maara pore nee...

By now, mullai understood she had let out her problems unnecessarily which triggered his anger so well... She knew about him and for sure he wont keep calm... She cursed herself for blabbering all childishly and tried to pacify him...

M : ilaa da enaku romba kashtama ellam illaa... ne feel panathe...

K : mullaaaa... enkita poi solara velai vechukaathe... ketta kovam varum... kashtama illaana yethuku de ivalo neram polambina...

She started tearing up with his angry voice but he reached for her even before the tears dropped down...

K : cchhh.... azhatha de.. yethuku azhara ipo...

M : pinna ithana naal kalichu unna paakaren... santhoshama pesuve nu paathe katha than eh seiyara... yerkanave na yevalo kashtapatten theriyuma... neeyum vanthu un panguku kashtapaduthare...

M : yena nenachu vanthe...

K : hmmm onum illaa...

M : sollu da...please...

And they heard some loud giggles and a familiar ear piercing voice in the downstairs...

M : kathir... vasantha athai voice kekuthu.. aiyo inga than varuvangaa... mudhala kelambu...

K : avanga vantha enaku yena de vanthuchu... varatum...

M : hmmm sari kupidaren...

K : ne marakaama kupidu de... thoongidathe... pagal la thoongiko...

M : sari da... kelambu...

K : hmmm...

Their eyes seized for a moment gazing at the other and she clasped his hand tight...

M : sadanguku varuve than eh...

K : na varaama unaku sadangu ah... kandipa varuven...

As the voices seem to advance, kathir gave her a one armed hug and left the place immediately...

The timing was so perfect that as soon as he entered her study room to hide, paati and vasantha moved to mullai's present room...

As they entered her room, kathir sprinted downstairs...

Off course, He didnt want to create a scene in front of a third person so he controlled his urge to question his grandmother immediately and got back to the living room just to see dheena...

K : dei dheena... (smacking his back) yepadi da iruke...

Dheena gleefully got up and hugged kathir...

Dh : dei kathir na super.. ne yepadi iruke... veetula yelarum nalla irukangala...

K : yellarum nalla irukom... chithi, chithapa nalla irukangala...

Dh : hmm nalla irukanga da.. amma kuda than vanthen... ippo than ulla mullaiya paaka ponanga...

K : oh apadiya... aama yena da intha nerathula inga...

Dh : atha na kekanum... sir kaathu kunnakudi la yenga adikuthu.... inga sutharenga... unga karaikudi school yepadi vituchu...

K : iniki leave than da.. tuition iruku.. cut adichuten... unaku...

Dh : school iruku da.. poga pidikala... naanum cut adichuten...

K : athu sari rendu perum ore velaiya than paakaroma...

Dh : athe than... aama yena da cricket ada varathe illaa...

Dh : athu sari... enakelam illa da... na yena padichu intha oor ku collector ah aaga poren... appa tholil ah paathuka na ipo padikarathe romba jhasthi...

K : athu sari... mudivu panita..

Dh : athelam yepaavo paniten... namaku yeppavum kunnakudi than...

K : ne nadathu da...

After sometime....

Dh : dei mullai ah paathiya... paaka mudiyuma...

Kathir hesitated a little and proceeded with the answer...

K : illaa da.. paaka kudaathu nu solranga...

Dh : intha kaalathula kuda ipadi irukanga paaren da...

K : hmmm romba conservative...

Dh : hmmm... actual ah iniki leave potathe mullai ah paaka than da... chumma inga varen nu sonna amma vidala... amma varatha sonathum atha saaka vechu kuda vanthuten..

K : oh....

Dh : yerichala iruku...

Kathir could feel a change in dheena's voice.. The soft, all smiles, happy go dheena is grumpy...

A surprise to him...

K : yen yerichal...

Dh : illaa da.. mullai ah daily paathutu, pesitu irunthutu thidirnu pakalanathum kashtama iruku... paakalam na vitta than eh...

K : avala yepadi daily paathu pesuve... unga school la higher secondary block thaniya than eh irukum...

Dh : ithena periya vishayam... assembly iruku... school pogum bothu, varum bothu paapom... avalukum enakum ippo elam ore timing than...

K : oh...

Dh : kathiru... nalaiki bet match variya...

Dheena continued talking some random cricket stuff but kathir was totally disconnected from his talks...

After he saw the interest for mullai gleaming in dheena's eyes, all his he can do was only fume...

Nope not now...

Dheena was a clear supporter, admirer and a big fan of mullai always...

Off course, he has his own reasons for liking mullai...

It had irritated kathir always and he have thrown tantrums with mullai for the same...

But then mullai was so good in cajoling him to come out of it and always made a point kathir is her first priority...

So the irritation would dissipate in seconds...

And now...

It was not just irritation...

He could feel it had turned to raging anger seeing him talk about mullai...

Does it mean he hate dheena...

No... He dont... and He cant...

Kathir always loved the sweet character of dheena...

He was a person as easy as pie...

Very soft and delicate...

Reticent...

Unflappable...

Cool headed...

In a nutshell, exactly opposite pole of kathir and a character which kathir wished to be but couldnt be...

His mind wandered to incidents mullai shared with him...

" kathir.. enaku cycle a chain kalanduchuna poda soli tharaiya... ithoda school la irunthu varum bothu two times kalanduduchu... dheena mama kuda irunthanala potu thanthaaru... enaku chumma chumma inoruthar help panum bothu kashtama iruku.... enake therinja nalla irukum ila..."

"Kathir.. dheena mama tuition ku vara solararu... 9th laye tuition poganuma yena... na nalla than eh padikaren... ne yena da solre..."

"Nee than da chumma na kozhu kozhu nh iruken nu kindal panre.. dheena mama enaku icecream, chocolate vangi kudutharu.. na venam diet la iruken nu sonathuku apadi yellam illaa... na super ah iruken nu sonaaru theriyuma..."

All those words which gave irritation for that point of time and drifted away from his memory bounced back with bang...

So dheena is clearly into mullai just like him...

He do miss her just like him..

He finds opportunities to spend time with her...

His thoughts scattered uselessly...

He struggled a lot to control himself as he felt this is not the time for all these doubts and concentrated on dheena's talks...

When they were busy in their own chats, paati and vasantha came back from upstairs....

Vasantha, as always, greeted kathir with her loud shrieking voice....

Va : kathiru.. nala irukiya da... paathu romba naal achu...

K : nalla iruken chithi... neenga...

Va : enakena korachal... nalla iruken... aama nee yenga inga...

He glanced at paati with a stern stare who returned the same and before he could reply...

T : thalai vali aam vasantha.. athan oru velai ah vanthavan ingaye irunthutan...

Thalai vali vechutu yenga da ponne... coffee potutu vantha aalaiye kaanom...

K : hmmm thotathula irunthen...

T : na vanthu paathane illaaye...

Her voice, glares and way of talking made him understand she guessed about him right which irritated him more...

K mindvoice : ithelam nalla puriyum... antha alavuku arivu iruku... ava kasthapadarathu puriyaathu.. sariyana aalunga...

Both their tone became sarcastic after understanding eachother....

K : hmmm mullai kodi iruku ilaa.. anga irunthen... vanthuruka vendiyathu than eh... therinjurukum...

T : ivanga vanthutanga.. athunala thapiche... illaana vanthurupen...

K : athe than naanum solren... athunala than neeyum thapiche...

Va : yena pesarenga...

T : onum illaa vasantha... thotathu pakkam poga venam nu sonna kekkama poitan... athan...

K : ponathula nala than eh ivanga atha paathukara lakshanam therinjuthu chithi...

Va : yen da olunga gavanikarathu illaaya... apadi yellam vida mattangale...

K : apadi than nenachen aana...

T : na poi coffee eduthutu varen... pesarathu elam yeppo vena pesalam...

Paati left with a meaningful look at kathir and vasantha continued chatting with kathir...

After paati came back with refreshments, vasantha said she would stay back till evening and dheena decided to leave as he knew meeting mullai was not possible anyways... so did kathir as he cant question paati with vasantha around and anyways not possible to meet mullai...

Dh : sari kathir... na kelambaren... nee naalaiki match ku vanthudu... mathan, senthil yelaraiyum mudinja kutitu vaa..

K : sari da... pathu maniku varrom...

Dh : ground la paakalam... bye da...

K : sari da.. bye...

As dheena left kathir too got back to home started waiting for his mom to come...

After parvathi and lakshmi returned after a long touring day of inviting relatives...

T : azhaipu full ah mudinjuthu than eh.... inum iruka yena...

As both ladies accepted, lakshmi started with murugan to her home after spending sometime... When they were there , it was just kathir in the living room...

It was so obvious from his looks that he was terribly irritated...

Mu : dei rascal... yenada padikka mattam potutu tv paathutu iruke... padikalaiya...

K : hmmm romba mukkiyam... oru naal padikalaina onum fail agida matten...

Mu : yen ipadi kadikaran ivan...

Kathir glared at lakshmi but then moved inside along with her...

In the kitchen...

L : dei... ipo yethuku poi mullaiya paatha... nan than sadangu varai avala paaka kudaathu nu sonen ilaa.. unna yaaru anga poga sonna... venaam nu soliyum pona yena artham... neenga yena solrathu na yena kekarathu nu thimir than eh...

K : apadi than kovapaduven... ennala en mullai kashtapadaratha paathutu chumma iruka mudiyaathu...

Mudhala enaku bathil solunga...

Mu : yenada bathil venum unaku...

Murugan came inside the kitchen hearing kathir's raised voice...

L : onum illaa da muruga... nee poi ukaru... nanga coffee poitu yeduthutu varom...

Mu : ammavum,paiyanum coffee potu eduthutu vanthatha than paathane... dei ne sollu... yethuku ipo kathitu iruke... unaku yena prachanai...

K : nee pesarathula logic neraya idikithu... mulusa othukara madhiri illaa...

Lakshmi really had a hectic time to calm down kathir completely... He was not ok even after hearing to their logical reasoning nor their scolding... But then he stopped his tantrums to some extent leaving the other two in peace...

L : oru naalu naal mattum naanga solratha seiyatum... appuram un mullai ah yethum sola mattom sari ah...

K : nambalama...

L : nambalaam...

L : iru da... nee vera... poi ukarunga... rendu perukum yeduthutu varen...

As they both left to the living room, murugan questioned kathir...

Mu : aama antha veetula iruka enake ithelam theriyala... unaku yepadi da theriyum... yaaru sonna...

K : thakkali than sonna...

Mu(surprise) : yepadi avala paathu pesina...
