The whole of the young bunch of the Rangan household were seated in the home theatre .

All had joined together and had dumped studies for that day .

The big screen displayed the video clipings of a well grown ,huge , young Lion ....get down from a luxury car of an Arab Sheik and walk alongside him , majestically into the palace of that Sheik .

It was Baran who started it first ,

Baran : Ennavo da Vikki , enaku ipadi wild animals eh poi pet maathri use panrathu pidikala.
It's atrocious you see !
Money erukungra kaaranathukaagalaam ipdi panna koodaathu da .
He looked around and double confirmed that Mithra was looking and listening to what he spoke ,. and continued ,
Naan laam apadi kedachathu pa !

Vikki : Ama iwaruku Dubai la nooru oil wells own panraaru !
Singhatha veetula valarka maaten , kaatula valarpenu scene podraaru !.
Maapla ...ipo yethuku intha bit nu engalku purithu , nee adangu !

Lekha : Ama...nee yen anna sudden ah blue cross member maathri pesura !

Vikki ': Kaaranam illama sooliyan kudumi aaduma ?.
Ithelaam oru calculation than Lekha . Un anna balaae aalu !

Baran : Nee kanda ...poda ,Singam paavamaache nu sonna !

Vikki : Singathuku nee paava padriya !
Nambiten ,
Aanalum Singham Singham thana ? Enga eruntha enna . ....Athoda majestic nature mattum maatavaae maarathu !

Mithra : Irunthalum ipadi atha bungalow la kondu poi valarkrathelaam thappu anna !
Baran maama solrathu than correct !

Vikki caught his chest !

Vikki : Baran ...maamaaava ! Nee nadathu raasa he said turning to him and then said to Mithra , nee sonna sariya than ma erukum .
Thappu than !

Lekha : Oh apadi pogutha story ,

Baran : Enna story ..? Thangachiya olunga eru ,

Lekha : ilati ? Enna pannuva ...

The quarrel started ...with Vikki interfering them ,

Vikki : Adei ....nipaatunga rendu perum .

Lekha : Hmpt !

Baran : Podi !

Hari : Irunthalum ....money mattum eruntha pothuma Vikki na ?
Antha Singham epadi adangi poguthunu paathaae aaganum !

Baran : Athuku namma adutha vaati Dubai ku pogum bothu , antha Sheik veetuku than poi kekanum !

It was only then Mullai entered the room with Meena following her carrying the tray of snacks for the bunch .

The youngest of all surrounded Meena ,

Meanwhile ....Vikki told to Baran ,

Vikki : Dhaya ...Singham eh adanguchunu paaka Dubai kelaam poga thevai Illada .

Baran : Pinna ?

Vikki : Pala varsham ...Adaangaama Aakrooshama suthina Kaatu Puli onu moonu naalu naala ah , Veetu Poonai ya maarinatha nee paakala !

Baran : enada olarura ? Naan yethaiyum gavanikalaiyaae !

Vikki : Unkitta sonnen paaru . Nee yaara gavanichurpanu enaku theriyaatha ,

Baran : Ipo puriyura maathri nee pesala ...... moonjiya pethuruven ! He said in a rage and then suddenly pulled on the good boy mask on seeing Mithra notice him .

Vikki : Ada poda , unkitta enna pechu .
Naan sambantha patta aalukittaiyaae ketrukren.he turned to Mullai and asked ,
Mullai akka , namma veetu Singham ipo adangi ponna maayam than ennavo ?

He asked her straight with smile in his face and the whole bunch too joined him to pull Mullai s legs .

Blushing pitch red ....she smacked Vikki shoulders and ran upstairs to their room ...

Mullai : Ponga da , ungalku innaiku naan than kedachana ?
Enkitta kekratha vida .....antha Singhathuku kittae kelunga !

Vikki :Enathu , yethuku engala thooki pottu mithikrathukaa !
Ketathu thappu than ka ...engala manichrunga !

He successfully withdrew from the deal on hearing Kathir s name .

Mullai came upstairs to their room and locked it up .

She wanted to be alone _ alone in Kathirland !!

It had been some 3_4 days since it had happened .

And so ,

People in the household had noticed the change .

The obvious change in his behaviour after that day ,

Mullai didn't realise it was so obvious !!

As well she realised with a suprise at how her heart took it so lightly ,

Ofcourse the small confusion was still there ,

But ,she thought ,

Mullai MV : Veetla eruka yellarum gavanikra alavuka maaritaanga ?

Illaiya pinna _ her mind mocked ,

Kaalaila un kaiyya pudichukittae than dining table kaae varanga !

Unnaiyum koodavaae vakara vachu ,onna than saapada vaikraaru !

Lunch ku nera veetuku vanthuraanga _ illati unnaiya kaiyoda office ku kootitu poidraaru ,

Yaaru erunthalum illatiyum .....konja vendiyathu ,

Oru naalaiku moochuku munooru tharam .." I love you " nu solla vendiyathu ,

Uurrnnu eruntha moonji ipo epo paaru sirichukitaae eruntha , yenna yethunu kekkathan seivaanga !!!

There were so many obvious changes in Kathir s behaviour these days .

He made her eat properly along with her , took her along to the Scans and his office , made it home early .... and most importantly , gave her beautiful and most memorable nights daily .

It was at this point , Mullai was confused .

She was surprised at her own self for not getting cross with him anymore after that one day alone .

She couldn't decipher her emotions on that day he came drunk as well as the other day when he went aggressive and overboard !!!

She didn't know why she took it so normal ,

Especially her self respect !!!

Annaiku ...Kudichutu vantha bothu kooda , enkitta menmaiya thana nadanthu kitaanga !

Aana adutha naalu _ intha maathri nu therincha odanae , awangalku moghathulla avlo kutraunarchi vanthuchaae ?

Apo kooda ...force pannitena , apadi panniruntha athuku poruppu yethukrenulaam sonnangalaae !

Aana ...ipo yennadaana , morattu thanama nadanthu kittu , kutraunarchi illainu sattama solranga !!

Epadi apadi solla mudiyaathu ?

Of all characterise he possessed Kathir for sure wasn't a pervert to enjoy forcefully sleeping with a woman.
Though he was a proud peacock Mullai had noticed that he possessed his own rules and values .

He had never been so one whole year .

Now what was the reason for him to become suddenly so aggressive ?

He had ofcourse said the answer !!

It was her insecurity that failed to believe it hundred percent .

Then ...her self respect ,

She realised it ..... that day itself !!

Though she was well aware of what happened in the drunken night she didn't open her mouth to him when he asked about it .

Her self respect didn't allow her to explain it to him , when he had asked what happened that night !

Instead of explaining it she answered him by handing over the divorce papers.

But then the other day ........not a speck of her self respect was perturbed even after him behaving so madly .

She didn't how could she feel like that !!

As if there was nothing wrong in it !!

Anaiku adutha naal awanga enna nadanthuchunu ketta odanae kovam vanthu divorce paper eh thooki koduthen ,

Aaana ...ipo ,ivlo thooram iwanga ipadi nadanthukittum .....onumaae thappa therilayaae yen ?

Enoda suyamariyaathai laam ....paranthu poiducha ?

Naan enna avlo keeltharamava aagiten ?

Her heart was confusing her too much that her mind gave her somewhat clear picture ,

Inga paaru Mullai , muttal maathri neeyaae unnaiya kolapikaatha !

Thani adichutu vantha anaiku eruntha Kathir vera _ antha Kathir ku unkitta perusa entha feelingsum illa ,
Bothaila nadantha thappa sari panna mattumaae nenchaaru _ avlo than !

Antha kovathulla than.....nee divorce paper eh neetina ,

Aana ....Ipo eruka Kathir ...unnaiya kathalikrenu declare pannitu than unnaiya thotaaru !!

Awar solla solla ...nee Kekkala

Oru kattathuku mela .... vishyam kai meeri poiduchu !!

Mothala morandu pidichalum .....pinnadi unakum athulla sammatham thana ?

Athu naala than un suyamariyaathai yetti paakala !!

Ulagathulla eruka paathi purushan_ pondatiyum , samaathanam aagurathu ipadi than !!!

Nee than thevai illama yosichu ... unnaiya pottu kolapikra !!

Unmaiya sollu ? Nee Kathira virumbala ?

Aiyoo ...En uyira virumburen!

Apo , amaithiya poi kudumbam nadathu !!!

Aanalum ...antha Pragya ?

Antha phone call ?

Antha drama ?

Athelaam ....apurama paathukalaam !

Kandippa ....athulla yethacu erukum !

Mothala ...intha manushana konjamaachum  nambu !

Illati ...  . Rendavathu thadavaiya un vaalkai kai naluvi poidum !

After a huge multiple conflicts within her ownself she derived at a conclusion .

She obeyed and behaved as the dutiful wife .

But still had an iota of doubt which both her mind and Kathir brushed off !!

Few days had passed by. ,

They were lying jam packed in that compact bed with hardly sufficient space to even twist around freely .

Since the day he had touched her , Kathir' stopped lying down on the floor . Nor did he bring in his old large four poster bed .
Along with Mullai shoved onto wall side , he slept along with her in her bed itself .

Mullai who initially feebly protested then gave in to all his antics . She couldn't handle this Kathirangan !!
He was so new to her _
For sure he wasn't the arrogant hunk whom he was one year before nor the soft , tender guy who was patiently waiting for her forgiveness .
This Kathir was extremely adamant as well naughtiest to the core !!
He behaved every bit of the typical lover boy husband now !!
This new dimension of his was much more attractive that pulled her with a magnetic force than before .

He was naughtiest to the core that handling him by itself was the biggest daily task of Mullai .
She couldn't help falling in for this naughty version of his _  with a small prick still standing as a hurdle from openly accepting it to him .
The least she managed to do was to refrain from confessing her love for him in words .
Because since the day they consummated , her own body and mind  betrayed her shamelessly .
She couldn't stay away from his ministrations .
His lips and hands seemed to possess some magic that instantly turned her on , whenever he touched her .
She lost her battle multiple times but with much willingness .
But not once did she put it in words and expressed it to him outright .
She herself didn't know what was holding her back .
Though he eagerly awaited for her confession, he didn't bother to nag her constantly .
His confidence in him and his love ...made him play along with her , hiding his impatience .
But , he didn't stop himself from openly expressing his own love for her .

Right then _

Lying curved within one another , e they were settling in for that night s sleep , after a heated unison !!!

The exhausted bodies clung to one another lying forehead against forehead .

It was almost half past midnight ,

Still ...as if he couldn't get enough of her , he smooched her below her neck and nuzzled his head between her bossoms , with one hand causually thrown around her waist .

Even in the air conditioned room ,sweat dripped along both the sataited bodies  .

Mullai didn't get an ounce of sleep , wíth his moustache brushing against her neck and further down .

She looked down to see him _  he was snuggling more into her chest like a small kid , with a puppy face and tight shut eyes .

Mullai : Tchu ....Yenge ipadi panringa ,

He asked back with a puppy face,

Kathir : Naan enna pannen !
Samartha thoonguren !

Saying so he cuddled more into the warmth of her breasts .

Mullai : Ithuku peru thoogratha ,? Athan ....naduraathiri varaikum unga ishtam pola aatam potaachula , apuram enna !

Now he opened his eyes and looked straight into her eyes with a teasing wink ,

Kathir : En ishtam polaya ! Adipaavi ...unakae ithu overa therila . Enavo unaku yethuvumaae pidikaatha maathri scene podra .

Mullai : Maathri laam illa , enaku pidikala than ! She wantingly said ,with  her  female ego not allowing her to accept her fall .

Kathir : Poi sonaalum poiruntha sollanum ma ,

Mullai: Naan onum poi sollala . Unmaiya than solren .

Kathir : Ha ha ha ....good joke ! Annaiku , washroom kulla vachu sollikodutha paadam laam maranthruchu pola !

Her face flushed red on getting reminded of the happenings of that day when he carried her back into the shower .
That time she hadn't even protested a bit .
And even now ...,

He looked at her reddened face with fresh enthusiasm .

Kathir : Maranthu pochuna sollu ...innoru vaati class yeduthudren !
Nee enaku fees kooda thara thevai illa ,..

Mullai : Manaangatti !

Kathir : Athan .... nithamum unkitta kolaiyurenaae , vera ennadi venum unaku ?
Enkitta erunthu inum nee enna than yethirpaakuranu enaku purila .

Though he appeared to ask causually ....there was a streak of pain in his voice .

He still didn't know what was that holding her from accepting him frankly .

He shrugged his shoulders , when ,

Mullai : Onum vendaam . Yenge ipadi adam pidikringa ?
Ennala nijamavae thoonga mudila .
Ennaiya keelaiyum paduka vida maatengringa ,.
Antha periya kattilaiyum ...inga poda maatengringa ,
Tchu ....

Kathir : Unaku vasathiya ....suvar  pakkama thana unnaiya paduka solren . Intha pakam ...ottula thoongravan naan ma !
Nyayapadi paatha. ...naan than , nee ennaiya keela thalli vitruviyoonu , daily bayanthukittae thoongren.

Mullai : Yaaru ...ninge bayapadringala ? Nambiten !
Tchu ...yen intha kastam ,

Kathir : Enna kastam ?

Mullai : Hmm ....erumai maadu ....sevvuthulla uraairaa maathri onu pannikittae erukingalaae ...atha than sonnen!

Kathir ; Oh God ..Me ! Kathirangan ? You call me buffalo !

Mullai : Tamil la athuku athana peru ?
Apo ...athuvaae than !

Kathir : Vara vara ...vaai jaasthi aagiduchu ji .
Purushana ipadiya solluva .
Enna paatha unaku paavama illai ?

He asked in an innocent voice , along side a sparkle in his eyes .

In these few days itself , Mullai knew what was behind this innocent tone and sparkle of eyes .

She knew where it would end up with !!

She instantly changed the topic ,

Mullai : Hmpt ! Enaku thoonganum !

Immediately he answered ,

Kathir : Thoongu !

Mullai : Thookam varala !

He leapt forward to her and whispered mischievously ,

Kathir :Thookam varati vaa ...innoru round poovoom !
Erumai maadu evlo venumnaalum thangum !

She knew he was serious in the way his eyes sparkled with lust even in that dim night light ,

He didn't stop with it .

One broad palm , carressed the swell of her mounds and cupped them gently , bending his head downwards he kissed her cupped breasts .

A wave of goosebumps sprang up along her limbs.

He tugged into chest more , which alarmed her.

She knew he wouldn't be satisfied with such smooches and carresings alone.

His appetite was voracious when it came to the hunger in the bed.

She knew she was slipping into his trap once again ,

Each peak of hers was rolled back forth between his strong fingers .

Trying to dissipate the heat of the moment ,she tried speaking in a normal voice ,

Carefully she avoided that' Vendaam Kathirr !"

Her brain knew what effect that word of hers will have on him !!!

These few days had taught her this lesson .

Mullai : Aiyooo ...raama ! Yenge ....
Ipdi kannukutty maathri muttikittae eruntha naan epadi thoongurthana ?

He didn't raise his head from her chest but whispered with his head still buried between her abundant baubles ,

Kathir : Mothala " erumai maadu " ! Ipo " Kannu kutty " ah ...,.
Nee ipdilaam solla solla than ...enaku  buthi vera maathri poguthu !

Mullai : Achachoo ! Theriyaama solliten saami . Yerkanavae rendu vaati ....., Thirumbavum ennala mudiyaathu.
Vend......She shut her mouth with her palm , which made him chuckle ,

Kathir : Vendaam Kathirr ! Athana solla vantha ?

Mullai : Hmmm.....with eyes closed she moaned , as he had progressed more lavishly on her flesh .

He pinched the curve of her waist and brought her more close to him , kissing her teats and pressing his head hard between them .

Mullai lost it again.

As by a basic Instinct her arms wrapped around his shoulder pulling him more over her .

He smelled of peppermint and cologne .

Resting her chin over his head ,she ran her fingers all along the thick waves of his hair.

He shuddered visibly and was instantly aroused in that simple act of hers.

But on the contrary to what she expected ,he spoke ....not leaving her .

Kissing her once again he said in a grunted voice ,

Kathir : You know what ? Nee ipo sonniyaae kannukutty maathri nu , oru vagaila athu unmai than !
Unkitta .... unnaiya naan suthi suthi varathu ....ithukaaga mattum illa , he pointed to the bed and continued ,.it's just not for bodily pleasure Mullai !
Athu mattum than enaku venumna , unkitta en thevaiya theerthukitta adutha nimishamaae ....thalli poi paduthukalaam !
Enaku ithu mattum paathathu !

Mullai : Kathirr ....she asked questioningly noticing the change in his voice.

The lusty voice had dissapeared .

Kathir : " Thaai madi"nu solluvaangala !
I feel that in you .
Yepovoo ,illama ponna en ammava unkitta naan paakren!
You give me that warmth .
Seriously .... Mullai , naan yethanaiyo countries ku poiruken , engalaamoo thangi eruken ,
But ...ipadi unkitta adaikalam aagumbothu kedaikra nimathi enaku vera engayum kedachathu illai .
Am not joking _ .this is my place ! His face pressed gently against her bare breasts again ,
I feel at home !
I love you ....he sealed her lips with a kiss
