It was pitch dark outside and the Streets had minimal light with the street lamp glowing dimly farer from their home.
Birds took its way to their nests and cuddled with their loved ones like the love birds cuddled. Still there are vehicles roaming sound heard conveying people are coming back home after their work or some starting it.
The cool breeze hitted hardly making the lady love to snuggle more into him, her 'Love of life'. There was a screeching sounds of frogs signaling the possibility of rain but the love birds heard only each others heartbeat because of the proximity they were in.
She was leisuringly playing with his kada forgetting the place they both are in and his eyes were fully on their perfectly mingled fingers with a rough and soft ones alternatively.
They both wore a Big smile thinking of their life journey,
The place where her legs found the map on its own,
The place where her soul longed to be in,
The place where her heart loved to live,
But it was the same place she never wanted to come after all the betrayal she got from this family,
The place she hated to stand for one second with,,
with him,,
Now year gone, days rolled back to the same time where her heart and soul wants to be stayed in this place but this time the reason is not family but him,, him - Her 'Love of life',, Kathir ☀️

He who was a workaholic kept aside his work and came home early to see his 'Lifeline' and blessed with the beautiful moment for lifetime to cherish.
Holding her this close, breathing the same air she exhaled, hearing her bangles tingling sounds whenever she played with his kada, feeling her like an soft teddy on his right side made his left one to feel heavy, he wished time to freeze and let them be the same. He doesn't want to ask anything neither he wants to hear anything he just wanted to be lived in that moment forgetting the world and remembering only 'His world'.
With a smile he reminisced his life journey with her,
He who liked her so much in childhood,
He who loved to tease her heartlessly in childhood and even now,
He who hated her due to some circumstances,
But now time changed, life changed, she changed it from a being a plain desert to the beautiful garden, full of colourful flowers blooming all together 🌻🌹🌸🌷🌺 She - His lifeline, His world, His Mulla🌼

Both came back to sense when their eardrum heared bike horn little nearer, she immediately raised her head from his shoulder and sat straight. Slowly she looked at him, who was till now looking at their tangled fingers and then her eyes 👀✨👀
(Alexa Play rigamarisa)

When bike came near them, he left her hand unwillingly and stood up facing road when the bike slowed down and stopped.
Stranger little loudly, 'Ena kathiru inga ukanthu irukinga, mazha vara mathiri iruku teriyalaiya'
Both of them thought: 'ethu mazhaiya'
And that is when they saw the lightening which lasts a second but making the hearts to skip a beat same way how it happens to them whenever their eyes met 🌠💥🔥

Kathir tried to speak which felt like speaking after years, 'Il..cleared his throat... Illa anne, chuma kathu nala varuthe nu ukanthutu irundom'

Stranger, 'Athu sari, Intha vaada kaathu la irundha joram vanthurum pa, ponga poi saptu padunga, nala pullainga' saying this he started his bike and moved forward towards his home.

Mullai mv: 'Engaluku teriyathukum, ivugale innaiku tan athisayama ipadi kaiya pidichitu ukanthaha athu porukathe'.

Sulkingly She got up to move inside knowing that he will ask her to do it, but making her world to spin opposite He sat again on Thinnai and holded her hand when she got up, both suprisingly looked at each other and said,
Kathir, 'Yei enga pora'
Mulla, 'Enaga ukanthutinga'
Mulla breakingly said, 'Athu,, ulla '
Kathir asked with a questioning face and in a longing tone 'Ponuma?'
Mulla not expecting this shocked, smiled then teasingly asked, 'Vendama' with a little hope of hearing a yes from him.
Kathir not knowing what to say scratched his hair at the back of head and dragged, 'Athuu'

Seeing his yearning face and not hearing a no which indirectly meant a yes to her question, she sat next to him and went back to the previous postion how they were before, bringing a big smile to his face but it didn't last a few seconds as his mobile rang making both jerk,
Kathir disappointedly exhaled...

Mulla mv, 'Kadavule unnaku en mela apadi ena tan kovam' clearly with an irked face she got up from his shoulder and left his hand to let him take his mobile from his hip.
Murmuring audibly she said, 'Intha nerathula entha loos' not letting her to complete he stopped her and said,
'Eii shu, mama phone pandraru'

***Phone conversation***

'Han solunga mama'
'Aiya Kathiru, yenga iruka'
'Veetuku vanthuten mama, ena achu? '
'Ohh veetuku poitiya... '
'Aama mama, ena achu nu solunga'
'Onnum illa ayya, Kunnakudi Kovil kita irukra Ganesh Mahal ku innaiku delivery onnu kudukanum la atha...'
Before Kathiresan mama could complete Kathir interrupted, 'Mama antha delivery October 29 tana'
'Aiya innaiku thethi October 29 maranthutiya'
Sametime mullai said, 'yenaga innaiku October 29 nga'
When both said the dates something striked to Kathir.
'Thethi kuda ena nu teriyama irukiye kathiru, ena achu unnaku', kathiresan mama mocked him following by his usual large soundful smile 😂😂😂
***No response***
'Kathiru irukiya ya, hello... hello'
That is when he saw mulla is also having a teasing smile and both of teasing him 😒 ignoring it like nothing happened by making his T-shirt color correct which is already perfect, he continued 'Aan aan iruken mama, kekuthu... Enna sola vanthingalo atha mattum solunga mama mukkiyama velai onnu iruku'
'Aiya Athu... Ena solitu irunden'
'Sutham'
'Han antha delivery ah maranthutom, delivery ku porul yellam ready paniyachu aana delivery pana aal illa... Saravana va anupalam nu patha moalagai (Chilli) mooda vanthutu iruku ava inga irundha othasaiya irukume nu pakren. Ne'

'Hmm... (His eyes checked on Mullai which is sad on what's gonna happen, according to her he is going to leave to shop. But his mind started to plan something 😉) Mama mama irunga, Ipo ena delivery onnu iruku nan varanum avlo tana'
'Ada illa ya, Ganesh Mahal owner oda number unkita irukula phone pani yevlo neram irupanga nu kelu. Moalagai moodaiya yerakitu saravana va deliver pana solidren.

'Illa mama, apadina romba late agidum. Saravana va nenga delivery pana anupi vidunga. Moalaga vandi varathu kula nan kadaiku vanthuruven athu varaikum kadaiya pathukonga'
'Illa ayya nee veetu...'
In stern voice, 'Mama, saravana va anupunga nan oru ara mani nerathula vanthuruven, vachidren'

***Phone call ended***

He kept the call and turned to see the fuming mulla with anger 😡 He holded her hand when she was about to leave inside, 'Hey yenga pora'
'Nenga tan kadaiku kelamburinga la aparam nan yenga pona ena, vidunga'
She tried to free her hand but it ended up in vain as it was perfectly locked by his strong hands.
'Ne first va' He dragged her near door without clue she followed him, he weared his slippers and saw her starring at him blankly.
'Ena pakra, serupa podu' he said in low tone.
She shocked on hearing his words, 'Nana'
'Yei ena kathura, shuuu... Serupa podu'
'Nan en nga'
'Soldren first serupa podu'

She doesn't have any idea on what he is upto. She just followed his words.
'Vaa...' he left her hand when he was about to unlock his bike (athey tvs 50 tan nga). That is when something striked her, 'en nga irunga varen'
'Yei yei yenga pora'
'Akka kita solitu vanthren, Ilana theduvaha la'
Kathir thought a second,'8 maniku velila poren nu sona aayiram kelvi varume atha samalikrathu kula 12 mani aidume'...
'Yenga ena yosikiringa'
'Hann illa athulam vendam, ne va nama polam'
'Yenga akka theduvanha nga'

He doesn't want to drag anymore as he is running out of time, 'Pshhh... En mela nambikai illaiya'
She shocked on hearing his words, the words he said and for the stern look he had she decided to follow him silently.
'Namburen, polam nga'
He locked the vehicle and asked to come, he was little fast as it is getting late.

With the breezy wind running between them, they walked on the street. She was completely shocked on seeing him. A complete difference person, 'Anni kita sola vendam nu night nerathula yarukum teriyama apadi yenga tan kutitu poraha?!'
She couldn't hold the suspense she wanted to know where they are heading to. Whenever she tried to open her mouth his last words echoed in her eyes so kept mum, she knew he was about to go to shop but why he is asking her to accompany him?

Her wavering thoughts holded when he asked her, 'Yepavum thona thona nu pesite irupa ipo ena peche kanom' only to get her stare 😂
'Athu nama yenga porom nu yosich.... Irunga nan thona thona nu pesuvena'
'Illiya pina' he said and scratched his beard with an teasing smile at corner of his lips.
'Hmmmhkmm....'

After few minutes of walking, as the road leads to shop she fixed they are going to shop only but he stopped and holded her hand as she was kept on walking.
'Yei nillu'
'Ena nga', she checked the surrounding to know why he stopped her, she turned to him and he said, 'Innaiku Oct 29' she thought what was special in this day but seeing the home they were standing she got to know what he was up-to. 'Ohhhhh...innaiku AbiramiVaradharajan ku birthday va'
'Hmm aama'
'Maranthe poiten nga'
'Nanum tan but mama thethi solavum tan niyabagam vanthuthu. Sari va. '
They knocked the door, someone opened the door and shocked to see the two people standing in front of them 😱
KM saw each other and at a time said, 'Happpppyyy Birthdayyyy AbiramiVaradharajan 😍🎉' Mulla stepped forward and shaked the freezed abi akka.'
'Ne kanavu lam kaanala nanga nejama tan vanthu irukom'
Mulla went for a handshake, hugged her and said, 'Happy birthday Abi 😀'

Abi akka couldn't open her mouth because of the happiness 😀
