(This part may look like a filler..It isn't actually..)

********

The sunrise comes up as if it has missed the sky and wants nothing more than to warm up those blues to a radiant gold..

M wakes up and sees K, who is sleeping..

She gives a peck on his forehead and goes to take a bath..

She comes out and finds him still sleeping..

She checks the time..

Time 6.30 dhana?

Thoongattum..

Ezhuppuvom konja neram kazhichu..

She goes to the kitchen, makes a coffee for her..

By then, KA enters the kitchen.

Ezhundhutiya papa?

M-Vaanga ma, Good morning..

She smiles..

Coffee podavaa?

Before KA could reply, M makes a coffee for her..

After sometime,

Ma, avan 10 mani ku vandhuruvan..

Urulakezhangu vega pottruken..

Paathukonga..

Naan poi avahala ezhupi vittutu varen..

Ezhundhu kelambina dhan sariya irukum..

KA nods and she moves to wake up K..

Kathir..

Kathir..

She shakes him gently..

K wakes up..

Good morning da..

M-Good morning Kathir..

She is wearing a blue cotton saree with dark blue blouse..

Her hair is wrapped with a towel..

The traces of euphoria can be seen in her cheeks..

Her eyes are as pretty as lotus petals..

M-Enna sir, ezhundhirika sonna, ennaye paathutu irukeenga..

K-Azhaga iruka di..

M-Edho indha 23 varushathula ungakitta ottikittadhu dhan sir...

K-Unna..

He gets up and M runs to the door...

Unga pulla varaan..

Poi kelambi ready aagi vaanga..

K-Adha yen di anga kadhavu kitta poi ninnuttu solra..

M-Pullai illadha veetla kezhavan thulli kudhichaanam..

Apdi iruku unga vela..

Adhan..

K-Yaara sonna nee ipa kezhavan nu..

M-Yaaru thulli kudhichadhu..

K-Idhellam nethu night ne..

M-Shoo..ponga, poi kelambunga..

Pecha paaru kaalai velaila..

She runs to the kitchen with a blush..

K smiles and gets ready..

M-Saptutu poi kootitu vareengala?

Time aachu paarunga..

K-Illa da.. Tea kudu..

Kudichitu poren..

Avan varattum..vandhu sapadren..

M-Saringa paathu poitu vaanga..

K-Varen..

Kamala ma..varen..

He starts the car..

M arranges everything..

After sometime,

The car arrives..

M rushes to the entrance..

Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...

Ashwin runs towards her..

He hugs her..

Maaaa, seems like you have lost some weight..

Why so?

Paaa, neenga gavanichikradhe illaya..

K-Nalla gavanipu dhan da ellam..

He winks at M..

M tries too hard to conceal her blush..

KA-Naan solren thambi..

Appa veli oor pona papa ipdi aagudhu..

Sapadradhe illa..

2 idly ah korikkidhu..

Adhan..

A-Maaaa, what's this?

You miss Appa so much that you are starving?

Enna ma nee?

M-Ada, chumma solraanga da ellam..

Nee vera..

Nee vaa ulla..

Travel epdi irundhudhu?

A-Bit tiring, still, its okay..

K-Poi fresh aagitu va da..

Sapdalam..

A-Neenga laam saptaacha?

KA-Illa thambi..

Unakkaga dhan kaathutu irukom..

A-Gimme 5 mins..

Maa, enna tiffin..

Masal dosa kettiye da..

A-Ash will be here in 2 mins..

Kisses her and runs to his room..

KA-Velayaatu pulla..

She goes to the kitchen..

K-Hey, enna di avan naan unna gavanikkala nu solraan..

Nalla dhana di..

M-Mooch.. Poi ukkarunga..

Sapdanum..

Vevasthaiye illa indha manushanukku..

She goes to the dining table, arranges the plate and Ash comes..

They both sit together..

Maaa, neeyum ukkaru ma..

M-Naan saapten da..

Neeyum appa um dhan sapdanum..

A-See, this is what I love in you..

You aren't like periyamma or chithi..

K-Modhalla laam apdi dhan da..

Thitti thitti ipa paravaalla..

Atleast she eats for the sake of me or Kamala amma..

A-Good that she eats pa..

Paati, epdi irukeenga..

He gulps the dosa and speaks to KA..

Sorry , romba pesa mudila vandhadhum..

Jolly ah irukeengala?

KA- Enakku enna kannu? Nimmathiya iruken..

Nee dhan sapadradhe illayo..

Elachu poita..

A-Irukum paati..Anga enakku ungala maadhiri chettinad chicken kuzhambu senju thara aal illa..

Yummax illa ma paati seiradhu?

M-Aama da..

A-She uses a claypot, right?

K-She does da..

A-That's why probably it's very yummy..

Paati, naalaiku senju kudunga..

KA-Unakku illadhadha kannu..

A-She is so sweet ma..

M-Aratta..Sapdu da..

They finish eating and go to the hall..

M-Apram da.. College epdi iruku..

A-Paravalla ma..Edho going good..

Except these fellows who gulp idlies and dosas with spoons and forks..

They laugh..

M-Let them eat however they want to..

Why do you bother da?

A-Illa ma.. Apdi illa..

Certain things shouldn't be changed..

Idly, Dosa laam fork and spoon na paaka awkward ah iruku ma..

M-Avanga avanga pazhakkam apdi da..

Avangalukku nee kaila sapadradha paakrapa apdi thonalam illaya?

A gets serious..

Correct ma..aana, hands are more hygienic.. ilaya?

M-Adhu namakku da..

Avangalukku spoon la dhan apdi thonalam..

A-Am not talking about the food stuffs here..

Podhuvana habits, cultures ey mothama maarudhu ma..

So far, naan paatha varaikum, TN is entirely different from others..

K-Namma TN illa da..

A-Paaa..the roots won't change at any cost..

Ipo namma veetlaye eduthupom..

Periyammas and chithi are practicing different lifestyle..

Amma maaritanga..

Maathitom..

But, that's harmless..

Aana, ottu motha culture ey maarradhu... I don't think that's acceptable..

K-Vidu da..Change is inevitable..

If we feel like we can follow, we can follow..

If not, we can ignore it..

Simple..

A-Hmm, adhuvum correct dhan pa..

We should learn to ignore..

True.. true..

He says to himself..

M feels like he has changed a lot in this 1 year..

His thought process, his thinking capability, his patience to listen, agreeing other's POV, everything has changed...

They finish eating..

K-Rest edukriya da?

A-Vendaam pa..Shall we go for a picture?

M-Ipova?

Ipa dhana da nee vandha?

A-Irukattum ma..

Afternoon show polaam..

It's been a long time..

K-Tired ah ilaya?

A-Naan varadhe 2 naal..

Ungakooda time spend pannama thoonganuma?

Adhukku angaye irukalame pa..

Let me check..

Maaaa..

Darbar is running...

Shall we go?

M-Dei, yen da? Rest edu..

A-Maaaa... Polam maaaaaa...

Please..

M-Udane ipdi onnu..

A-2 o clock show iruku pa..

Polaam..

Poitu veetuku vandhu sapdalam..

Okay ah?

M-Veetlaya? Adhisayam dhan..

A-Anga eppodhum veliya dhana ma..

I badly crave for the typical sambar and potato fry..

M laughs but still gives the instructions to KA..

They all go to the picture, have fun and return back..

M enjoys seeing A as a critic..

The next two days run in a jiffy and A starts back..
