Kathir just rides back to the PS shop..

Thousands and thousands of thoughts engulf him..

He wants to decipher them so that atleast he should give it the priority..

But, he can't..

The thoughts overlap each other..

He feels like his head is spinning right to left and left to right..

Why he?

Why she?

He knows why she cried..

He didn't pick the calls..

He didn't reply for the so called 52 messages..

But, everything was just 'Sorry kathiru' in different forms..

Nothing more than that..

Nothing less than that..

But, her words..

Or venom they are?

They can hit him straightly now in his heart..

He would happily die rather than hearing those words again..

She worries about her..

But him..

Being the giver as well as the receiver, he plays a dual role so the pain is double to him..

Why can't she understand the pain?

He can understand her situation..

Her bickers..

But, what can be done?

Is there something that can be undone?

No..

He can't..

Things are already done..

Damages are made..

But..

It was his choice..

Whatever happened, it was his decision..

He takes a deep breath and goes to the shop temporarily keeping the thoughts aside..

Moo-Enna da veyil la pogaadha nu sonna kekkriya?

Paaru..mogam laam vaadi poi kedakku..

K-Haan..

Hmmm..

Veyil..

Moo-Hmkum..adhan naanum sonnen..

Enna da..gavanatha enga vechirkravan?

K-Illa nae..

Onnum illa..

Thala valikkidhu..

Light ah..

Adhaan..

Moo-Dei..enna da aachu..

Kum mama enters..

Enna da kathiru..

Mo-Thala vali aam mama..

Kum-Hey enna da..

Thala vali ah..

Oorla veyilu veena pogudhu nu thalaila vaangitu vandha ipdi dhan..

Avan pogadha nu solraan..

Nee paatuku poikite iruka..

Thala vali nu solra ipa..

Enna da nee..

Tea ku aasapattu thala vali ah vara vechipaangala yaarachum..

K-Aiyo mama.. Vidunga...

Light ah dhan..

Moo asks him to take rest, yet K doesn't hear him and does his works..

He knows that if sits blankly, the thoughts will swallow him..

He doesn't want to swim into the harrowing thoughts for now, atleast..

****

Mullai goes back to the home..

Parvathy notices the joy..

She asks Mullai 1000 questions as usual which she answers with high level of ignorance and goes to her room..

She knows that there are a pool of things that are to be sorted out..

The real issues are yet to come..

The struggles are to be faced..

But..

She knows why she is doing all these..

How about Kathir?

Does he know?

She doesn't think so..

If he knew already, things would have been entirely different..

Her heart laughs at her as she is doing things in a way as such she knows everything..

She knows one thing..

Kathir will stand by his words..

Whatever may happen..

Things may go wrong..

The world may turn upside down..

But, he will stand by his words, atleast to her..

She is witnessing it all these years..

So, she waits for his call..

Koopadren nu sonnaane..

Kandipa koopduvaan..

*****

Poat dinner, the PS family is assembled in the hall..

They are all talking and K is dwelling in his thoughts..

Ka taps him..

Annae..

K-Haan.. Sollu da..

Ka-Periya annan unkita edho kettuchu paaru..

Annachi kadaiya pathi..

K turns to Mo..

Annae..

Mo-Onnum illa da..

Annachiya paaka poniye..

Ennachu..

It took several mins for K to understand what he is talking about..

He didn't go..

He didn't meet any annachi..

Adhu..

He stumbles..

Mo-Enna da paathiya illaya?

K-Haan..illa nae..

Adhan..thala vali..

Mo-Aama da..Marandhuten adha..

Ipa paravallaya..

K-Haan paravalla nae..

Dhanam goes in the midway to the kitchen..

K-Thanni kudichutu varen nae..

He moves to the kitchen..

D-Enna da..Oru maariya irukka..

K-Onnum illa anni..

Thanni..

He drinks some water..

D-Ennachu da kathiru..

Mogam laam vaadi poiruku..

He curses himself for having an expressive face..

He always hide himself behind a mask 'SILENCE'

There is anger..

There is frustration..

There is anxiety..

There is happiness..

There is sacrifice..

There is sincerity..

There is hardwork..

Behind the mask..

He is a man with not only flesh and blood but with emotions..

Why don't people just accept him the way he is?

He is too much into his thoughts that he fails to give an ear to what D says..

Had he heard it, things would have been solved easier..

Atleast, he might have understood himself..

But, how can something happen that easily if we crave for it?

D-Enna da sari dhana naan solradhu?

K-Correct dhan anni..

He murmurs the tailor-made answer and goes to his room..

***

K just taps his mobile thinking whether to call her or not..

He said he will..

So he should..

But..

He doesn't want to talk to her..

Atleast now..

But, kathir should be kathir atleast..

He dials up her number..

The ring goes..

His heart starts beating heavily..

His fingers are trembling..

He just holds the mobile tightly..

She picks it up..

Hello Kathiru..

The tranquility is passed through the zephyr..

Her wobbly tone makes him feel bad..

He doesn't know how to react..

Hello kathiru..

Irukiya?

K-Hmm...Sollu..

M-Sorry kathiru..

Inime ipdi pesa maaten..

Kochikaadha..

He can see her countenance through the voice..

After all, he is seeing her for the past 21 years..

K-Illa..

M-Sorry kathiru..

K-Vidu..

Vera pesu..

M-Apa kovam illaya?

K-Irukanumaa?

His lips curve automatically..

M-Venam venam..

Nee kova padaatha..

Naan vera pesren..

She speaks out in a jiffy..

K-Indhaa..

Yen odra ipa..

Naan phone ah vaikala..

M-Sari kathiru..

Saaptiya..

K-Hmm..nee?

M-Saptene..

Apave..

Nee phone pannuva nu theriyum..

Adhan..

Apave vanthuten room ku..

K-Yen apdi?

M-Nee sonna seiva nu theriyum kathiru..

Adhan..

She didn't realize what she spoke..

M-Hello..

K-Haan iruken..

M-Enna aachu..

K-Naan onnu kekkava?

M-Oh..kelen..

K-Avlo nambikkai ah?

M-Aama, illaya pinna?

Nee edhu sonnalum seiva nu enakku theriyum kathiru..

Adhan ivlo varushama paakrene..

K is totally tossed between happiness and anger/sad/whatever..

He hasn't seen any angel in his entire life..

If the angel has some face, then it would be Mullai's face for sure..

She is applying the medicine by her words to the wounds that are created by her words..

Irony smirks..

If she believes him so much, she shouldn't have said that few days back..

M-Ennachu kathiru..

K-Illa onnum illa..

M-Yen oru maadhiriya pesra?

Her voice is filled with concern..

K-Adhu..

Thala vali..

Light ah..

Adhan..

M-Aiyo..Ennachu..

K-Hey..padharaadha...

Onnum illa..

Light ah dhan..

Naan..

Naan..

Naalaiku pesava..

M-Rest edu kathiru..

K-Hmm...Veikava..

M-Veikanumaa..

K-Venaama..

M-Vera edhum illaya?

K-Illa..Oru maadhiriya iruku..

Adhan..

M-Sari..vechiru..

K-Hmmm..

Her breath is echoing through the mobile and he doesn't think he can put up with this anymore..

He cuts the call..

Staring at the mobile..

Types a message..

Deletes..

Types..

Deletes...

Types..

'Good night Ammu..'

And sends her..

Immediately, he gets the reply..

'Good night Kathir'

He reads with a smile and sleeps..

There are things that are to be sorted out..

Yet, he chooses to smile atleast for sometime,after all the inner turmoils for the past 3 days..

It was 2AM and she was his night..

There are several bondings in the universe, that can never be separated..
No matter how much they try to drift apart, the stars and the gravity will pull them closer because, they are destined together..
