The once arrogant ,high headed ,pride filled KathiRangan had changed .

Changed for Good _ owing to the unconditional showered on him by his lady love .

Now ,

Just to a get a glimpse of her peaceful smile and to witness a  streak of happiness in her face ,he was working all tricks to make two different poles meet !!

As well , he didn't forget that he was the eldermost son of that huge extended family and it was his responsibility to make sure that none of his family members were affected the slightest .

He said to himself ,

Naan RANGAN _ ...RUTHRAN ILLA ,

Ennaiya namburavangala ...RATCHIKA kadamai pattavan !!

Enaiya saarnthu erukavangala ...entha kaaranam kondum , kasta pada vidamaaten!!

Awa oruthiku naan panna paavamaae pothum !!!

Wounds heal _ but Scars persist !!!

He still hadn't totally come out of what all he did to his innocent angel ..!!

Now ,he wanted to make her smile and be happy each single second of her life .

Otherwise why would he break his head this hard and do all this tricks and take all efforts to make the impossible , possible in a matter of few hours !!

Ofcourse Nandhini s life was important to him .

So was Baran s.

But if he had been the old KathiRangan of Rangan industries ,he would have just like that dismissed off this issue as utter nonsense and waste of time and would have given an earfull to both his cousins .

But now ,

After having fully drenched in Love ...the unconditional ,selfless Love she had / is showering on him , how will he allow three tender hearts to break ?

That too ....Mithra ! Her own sister was involved in this !

Kathir was actually more concerned about the Mini Mullai !!!

He knew very well that Nandini can afford to loose Baran _ there won't be much loss !!

But Mithra can't too _ knowing her very own sister' s abundant love for him, Kathir very well knew how much serious Mithra would be wrt his brother _ Baran !!

Because from Baran s msg , Kathir had come to know that Mithra too had accepted his proposal and had reciprocated his love .

So ...he felt that , Nandhini had to be tackled at the earliest .

Having arranged things as per his own strategy , Kathir went in search of Nandhini .

She was seen seated  with Vishalini playing busily in her mobile .

Both the girls were dressed up in traditional attire .

Cute buttons !!!

He looked at the girls with brotherly tenderness and affection .

On seeing his shadow tower over them in that dim light of the veranda , Vishalini looked up to Kathir .

He was on a call ,

K :Orchids + Tulips with Carnation would be my choice .

...,.......

K : Oh yeah .. ofcourse , ofcourse ....go ahead with it too .
I just googled to find that you are the best florist in the town .
Send me your location ,

.........

K : Done ! Thank you ...he cut his call , and shhhhdddd Vishalini with one finger onto his lips .
Without disturbing Nandhini ,he asked her to clear off the place , which the kid obeyed dutifully .

It was only when , Kathir sat near Nandhini and cleared his throat , Nandhini came out of her Melancholic Dreamland and jerked on seeing him near by .

Immediately she stammered ...

Nandhini : Kathir Anna...illa ....mama ,

Kathir was used to it . Having used to seeing him as a elder brother from childhood she was comfortable calling him Anna , which the elders always used to correct and asked her to address him as mama .
She always used to stammer ... whilst addressing him in public .

Kathir smiled warmly and softly said ,

Kathir : Anna va _ Mama va ? Mudivu pannitu koopidu . Evlo varshama ipadi thikkuva !

His calm words  and kind tone soothed her a little .
Without second thoughts she answered ,

Nandhini : Anna than ! She paused as if getting reminded of something and then said in a sorrowful voice , intha mama _ gamma laam enaku solla varathu , Kathir Anna !

Kathir knew what must have bothered her .

The sweet still childish voice of Mithra addressing Baran mama ,echoed in his ears . Not to forget the honey dipped ... instantly brightened face of Baran on hearing her call so !!

He called out to his brother addressing all the cuss words he knew ! If only that fellow had under played it  ,this girl wouldn't have even bothered about him .

Kathir : Well ..now ...he said to himself and asked her , athu sari , ivlo nalla dress pannitu ,Inga vanthu yen irutulla vakanthu eruka ?

Nandhini : athe ...athe ...,summa than na .

Kathir : Hm...vellicham kammiya eruku . Ulla poo ma !

Nandhini : Illa ...Ila Anna , ingayaae eruken . Inga than ...enaku konjam ...ipo thaiku .....she stammered and trembled ,not knowing what to answer him.

He too noticed but didn't show an ounce of it ,in his face .

Keeping an innocent plain face he told her ,

Kathir : Palakam illatha yedam Nandhu . Mazhai vera peyyuthu ....palli ..thel...paambu ... yethachum vantha enna pannuva ?

Nandhini : Aiyo ...Paamba ? It worked ...

Kathir : Ama da ! Vaa...ulla polaam ,
Knowing that she won't accept to go inside nor the backyard he continued , illa ...antha pakkam thoppu kitta venumna ,

Nandhini : Hoonkoom ....ulla vendaam Anna , kootama erukange .
Amma , athai laam busy .
Apuramum ..... awangalaam erupanhe.
Thoppum vendaam _' naan paathuten .
Vera ....yenga ?
Inga ...Inga .., she rolled her eyes as to where to go , once again and finally settled at the place where Kathir exactly wanted them to go .
Haan ...anga poren Anna ! System la paatu ketutu erupen .
Quiet ah vum erukum , safetyum kooda !

She pointed to the place where their  cars had been parked .

It too was well sheltered with Sheets and Flowers decked up in the polls .

Kathir : oh .fine ...polammae !

Kathir too got up along her that confused the young girl .

Nandhini : Anna ? Ningaluma ...

Kathir : Yup Nandhu ! Mazhai ipo than konjam vitruku .
Konjam ....freeya ...intha night breeze la ninna ,nalla erukum la .
Athan ....!
Ama , atha Yenna periya ulaga athisiyamatam kekura ?

Nandhini wasn't a fool !

She knew what was going on in that household today ,

She slightly blushed at that thought and felt a little embarrassed to ask him about it ,

Still ....

Kathir : Ennama ? Yetho kekka vanthutu ....brake potuta ?
Summa kellu ,

Nandhini : Illa na ....naan poren .
But ninge yen ...ipo poi walking poringa ?
Akka ulla thana vantha ? She referred to Mullai ,

But to her dismay .... Kathir s face didnt lit up in romance nor blush like a smitten bride groom .

Instead ...he made a face !!

Kathir : Yaaru un akka va ? Eruka ....ulla , En thangachi aluthukittu eruka .,.enaku kastama erukunu polambikittu !!!

He said as if he was bit irritated and wasn't bothered at all with the whinnings of his wife .

As well he didn't mention , Mullai was worried about Nandhini and was bothered about her .

His En thangachi , made Nandhini forget that it was she who ranted sometime before and cried her heart to Mullai .

She was still too young and naive to all the word play of KathiRangan .

With absolute innocence she questioned him back ,

Nandhini : Mithra aluthaala ? Illaiyaae ...nalla thana sirichukittu eruntha na ?
Athu naala thana ,naanae othungi .....she blurted out and immediately closed her mouth tight with both her palms and looked at Kathir . She was trying to see whether Kathir understood what she was about to blurt .

But , Kathir stood with the  expression and body language of a well built buffalo that would stand least bothered in the centre of a busy road with a storming rain pouring all over it .

Nandhini : MV : Uff ..thappichoom . Nalla vellai , Anna ku kekkala . Namma sonnatha gavanikavum illa .
Hmm.... Analum ,intha Mithra yen aluganum ?
Awala,  than Fairytale la va maatho apadi propose pannannae antha thadimaadu rascal !!
Apuram ennavaam ?
Intha Mullai akka yen kavala paduthu ?

Kathir : enna Nandhu ...romba nerama , unaku neeyaae pesitu eruka !!
Shaatchat ....apadiyae maams ah  paatha maathriyae eruku !

Nandhini : tchu ....yen na ninge vera !

Kathir : Solluma ....athu enna , innaiku namma veetu ponungalaam , ipadi sallichukittu , varuthama erukanumnu venduthal vachrukingala ?
Innaiku semma comedy onu ,nadanthuchu . Atha share pannalaam nu ponna , un akka ,mooka urinchura ....nee enandaana , ipadi sallichukura !!
Ennavo ponga ,

Nandhini : athu ...athu ... , Haan, Mithra aluthaala , Akkavuku kastama erunthu erukum la Anna !

He looked as if suprised and answered her immediately ,

Kathir : Mithra aluthaala ? Ipo thana vaai neraiya cake  eh adachutu , ooduchu antha sweet stall !!
Awa yen aluga pora ?

Nandhini : Ipo than Anna ,soniha ... Mulla aka _ En thangachi alutha, kastama erukunu , sonnanu ?

Kathir : Ada kadavullae ! Atha solriya nee !

Nandhini : hmm....

Kathir : Un Mullai akkavuku , Mithra mattum than thangachiya ?
Illa , Mithra va mattum than , Mullai thangachiya consider panrala !

He said this in a deep quiet firm voice slowly and steadily allowing every word of his and it's hidden meaning  to sink in Nandhini s heart .

He wanted Nandhini to know his wife s pure heart and her good intentions .

If she realises her pure intentions then it will turn out in his favour too .

She too will groom into a good hearted woman.

She immediately understood !!!

Understood that Mullai was worried and had been thinking about her ..her rants !!!

Gosh !!

Nandhini : MV : Acho...intha Mullai akka ,ennaiya than solliruka . Naan than awa kitta aluthu polambinen . Athukaagava ivlo varutha patruka ?
Ithanaikum , enna vishyamnu kooda awaluku mulusu theriyaathae .
Naan sad ah erunthen na , Kathir Anna kitta ,kastama erukunu solliruka ?
Ennakaaga feel panni ya , Anna va awoid panniruka ?
How sweet of her !
Evlo nallavala eruka ! So kind !
Awakitta poi aluthu , awa happiness eh keduthutenaae .
Hmm...Anna kitta sollirupaaloo ?
Illa ...Anna than awa sariya pesalanu solraarae .
Nammala pathi therinchu erukaathu .
Anna kitta , akkava paaka solluvoom .
Anna ....atha vidunga , paavam akka . Yaaraiyo pathi thevai illama kavala padra pola .
Ninge ponga na ,
Ninge poi awaluku company kodunga , she said causally and then bit her tongue on seeing her brother s face blush .

Does he even know to blush ?

When she looked at him a second later ,none of the traces were seen in his face that Nandhini thought it was her own hallucination .

Because ... Kathir ranted again in a irritated attitude ,

Kathir : Ada po da !

Nandhini : yen na ?

Kathir : Oru comedy ye kooda share panna vida maatengra !
Aanalum ....he scratched his clean shaven chin unnecessarily and kept a thoughtfull face and spoke to himself , actually athu oru semma comedy than !
But ... yaaro oru thangachi kaaga ivlo varuthapadrava kitta poi , naan paatha joke eh share panna , ennaiya adichalum adippa!
Sontha thangaiyaache !

Nandhini felt like scratching her meticulously pleated braid !!

She didn't know the head nor tail of what her brother spoke , about what he felt so comical , or about whom ?
Or why would his wife smack him ?

Innocently she blurted ,

Nandhini : Acho Anna ,ninge solrathu sathiyama onum purila .
Enna than Anna paathinga ?
Atha sonna akka yen ungala adippa ?

He laughed out heartily and asked her in a small voice,

Kathir : Athu onum illa Nandhu , nee nalla matured girl .
Thellivana brought up !
Un age ku , life ku practical ah enna thevai nu unaku nalla theriyum .
Neeyum sari ,naanum sari intha cinematic ...ah , dramatic ah erukura vishayam la paathu , just like that , kadanthu poiduvoom .
Because ...namma life ku ,nammaku yenna thevaingra maturity nammaku undu !!
But ...

Nandhini : But ...Yenna Anna ? Though she asked him superficially , Nandhini felt a pride on hearing the eldermost brother of the whole family himself tell that she was matured ,just like him .
She was happy in that ,he compared her with him and also added that she had clarity of thoughts with regard to life .

Wasn't that a biggest compliment ?

That too to hear from the Role model person , of that big household .

She forgot  to question him further . Instead , without her knowledge she played along him .

Kathir : Hmm _ he encouraged her to speak up ,

Nandhini : Haan ...ninge solrathum correct than Anna .
Enakum silly ah behave panrathulaam pudikaathu than .
Naan nalla matured girl !

Kathir : Very good ! Enaku than unnaiya nalla theriyumaae .

Nandhini : hmm....aana apadi enna comedy ah paathinga Anna ?
Sonna ....naanum siripen la ?

Kathir : oh ..you see Nandhu , naan sonna , nee vilunthu vilunthu sirippa !
Paatha kaatchi apadi !

Nandhini : apadi enna than Anna paathinga ?

Kathir : Solren ma ...solren ,
Intha Baran fool erukaanla , intha kottura mazhaila , mela idi idichu keela vilugurathu kooda theriyaama , ennavo thanaiya thaanae .... "Prince Eric" ( the most romantic prince of Disney tales )  nu nenachukittu , namma Mithra kitta ...love proposal pannaan Nandhu !!
He didn't give time for Nandhini to react to it nor think about it further . Instead he infused his own visual perception of that scene inside her mind.
Paakrathuku , achu asala ,namma Chota Beem _ Chutki kitta 'Laddu eruntha enaku konjam kodukriyaanu'  ! ,kenchura maathriyae erunthuchu Nandhu !
Sathiyama ...atha oru love proposal nu sonna , antha Love kaae kevalam !!
Paavam ....antha ponnu , awa enna unnaiya maathiri city la brought up ella college ku than poirukaala  _ small girl , apadiyae ' Thiru Thirunu ' mullichukittu ninna paaru ....
He paused .... effortlessly giggled picturesing the scenario once again before Nandhini s eyes and continued , nee mattum atha paathu eruntha , vayiru vallika vallika sirichurupa Nandhu !
Apadi oru comedy athu !
Manasulla Disney prince nu nenapu _ but paatha , Chota Beem ,Laddu ku alaiyura maathiri semma joke ah erunthuchu .

He stopped and looked at Nandhini now.

His words had started working in her ,

What looked like a picture perfect proposal before to her ,now really appeared to be funny in the way , Kathir had explained .

She totally forgot what all she heard !!

She hadn't seen Baran propose to Mithra _ she had just over heard them .

And now with Kathir s words giving her the visuals , she could think of none other than Chota Beem and Chutki in the young couples ' places .

She imagined Baran as the small funny comic character and his girlfriend as the two pleated , pink cheeked , tiny comic girl that she too really burst into a heart laughter .

She laughed ....laughed her heart out , easing her chest that warmed Kathir s heart.

He really felt bad for his little sister .

She too deserves someone equally good but one that befits her .

By and by  he lightened up the thickness of the situation , she was caught in .

What seemed sometime so precious before ,now really looked comical to her !!

She laughed once again ,

Nandhini : Aanlum .... Chotta beem Laddu kekkra maathiriya ?
Ponga Anna ....sirippa varuthu !

Kathir : Sonnena illaiya ! He laughed along ,

She too smiled along now .... but lo .., she too was human.

Slowly she was getting back to her senses .

Kathir knew that _ he knew that his sister won't be convinced in this single useless joke of his and start thinking straight.

But ...it gave him the needed space and time .

As of now , he made her realise or somewhat accept that she was a matured and more practical girl than Mithra .

And then , Baran s proposal wasn't a Fairy tale Prince' s perfect proposal . He had made it sound too funny .

As Nandhini really didn't possess any intricate and delicate feminine feelings for Baran , she too easily connected with Kathir s vision and believed it was a funny happening !!!

But ,

Kathir knew it was only temporary !!

He very well knew that the minute he leaves Nandhini all to herself without clarifying her own self ,she will retort back to self pity mode once again .

So ...he tried using the golden moments in hand , as early as possible .

Kathir : But you see ,Nandhu ....paakrathuku mattum illa .
Real ah vaae , intha maddaiyan comical ah than panran !!

His voice was now serioua and truthful without any humorousness in it .

Nandhini had slightly come out of that trance of that otherwise magical divine love her cousin had expressed to that small girl .

With a question in her heart she asked Kathir the same too .

Her brother won't say anything of this sort without any reason .

Nandhini : Yen Anna apadi solringa .
Ithulla enna eruku . Solra vitham nammaku sirippu vara maathiri erukalaam ,aana vishyam unmai thana ?

Was there a sorrow or lost feeling in her voice ?

Kathir analysed her carefully .

Nope !!!

She seemed as if trying to clear something to her own self ,to clear her own mind off this issue .

And she now was looking up as if Kathir knew the answer for her confusions.

He played along ,

Kathir : Oh not you too Nandhu . Naan unnaiya ennavoonu nenachen . Ennaiya maathriyae practical ah think panra ponnu la naan nenachen .

Nandhini : Haan .. naanum ungala maathiri practical than Anna ..

Kathir : Apadiya ?

Nandhini : I promise you . But ...ninge yen na , iwana ipadi solringa ?

Isn't Baran  a professional ?
A doctor !
A well reputed profession with a fat income !
What was there comical in it !
They would be married for good and start a beautiful life straight away .
There won't be hindrances from the family as well .
Then what is there to worry for that couple ?
It's going to be a cake walk for them .
Why to mock him then?

But ...she didn't understand her brother s intentions fully nor didn't have an idea of what really Life is all about !!

Kathir used it and tried explaining it in his own way _ he made her feel as if not selecting Baran as her groom ,in itself was a better choice for her .

Kathir : Oh athuva ? He causually dragged as if it wasn't a big deal at all .

Nandhini : Ama ...sollunge ,

Kathir : Pinna enna Nandhu , sir ipo than 2 nd year eh padikran .
Naamke vaas , thana doctor !
Inum ... clinicals kooda start pannala .
Thaatha surgery time la , operation theatre kulla varavae avlo bayanthan .
Inimel than ...iwan ... clinicals poganum .
Atha padichu ... purinchu .., palagi, apuram ...MBBS mudikavae inum 3_5 yrs aagum .
Iwan straight ah clear pannuvaana illa kaasu adichu  pass panna vaikanumanu vera therila .
Skandhan chithappa polambinaaru vera !

Nandhini : Oh apadiya ? Maybe Baran is not that big a hero as she had thought minutes back ?

She didn't get to realise all this hardships in his field.

As well she didn't know , that the little girl Mithra very well knew about all of this and had started mentally preparing her for that , the minute the young lad had slid his ring down her fingers.

Mithra ' s first priority since then was one and only hard work ....hard work until she too got into medicine and her man reached his goals .

Kathir who knew this very well , just spoke the opposite to her ,

Kathir : Ya ma , a lot more is there . UG course mattumaae 61/2 years.
Apuram awanoda internship eruku .
By this time ,nee oru company Kae MD aagiduva !
I mean ...namma line la erukavangala pathi solren.
His career is totally different ma .
MBBS complete panrathoda , awan profession mudiyaathu .
After than comes the toughest part . Awan kandippa ...MS illa MD pannanum ...athuku oru 3_4 yrs add pannikoo ,
Then ...Mch .illa ,  DM nu athuku inamum oru 3_4 yrs add aagum .
Epadi paathalum awan mulu doctor ah uru maarathuku , solid ah 10 yrs ku mela aagum .

Nandhini : Achoo ...! She kept her hands over her chest in awe . She hadn't thought about this.  Metamorphosing into a consultant in medicine wasn't a cake walk at the least .
Years were to be invested to become a consultant , instead of money like in her profession .
Now that chord that Kathir threw struck right .

Kathir : Oru ten years solid ah oodi poidum !!
Athuku apuram than awan earn pannavaae arambipaan .
Athu varaikum , awanaiyum , awan wifeyaiyum Chithappa than support panra maathiri erukum .
Chithappa support panra time varaikum , awanum , awan wife um , awanga wishes laam compromise pannitu , awanoda meagre salary kullavae budget pottu sellavu pannitu than vaalanum !!
Apadi panna yentha wife ku than pidikum ?
Neeyaae sollu !

He asked in such a manner that the rich kid inside Nandhini immediately thought that she won't be able to put up with such a life.

Kathir knew Mithra would do all of this . She was a replica of Mullai !!

But Nandhini ? He looked at her and saw a frightened look in her face .

Nandhini : Mv : Achachoo ... kandippa ,ennala mudiyaathu pa saami !!
Ithulla ivlo eruka _ nammaku Baran set aaga maatan pa .
Nalla vellai ...namma actually thappichutoom .
Antha pappa than , maatikichu !!
Oru alpathanmana proposal eh paathutu ,nammaku luck illainu nenachommae .
Iwan life enna ivlo kastama erukum pola ...ithulla ,naan epadi set aaven.
Vendavaae vendaam saami !!

She was calming and pacifying herself that she doesn't need to go through this .

By and by she realised that such she wouldn't fit in for such a life style .

Poor thing !

She too wasn't to be blamed .

Kathir had known her very well !!!

As well , Kathir very well knew , that Mithra would happily live with Baran even if he is left penniless for years together  from now !!!

Her endurance and love for him was true .

None of the girls were to be blamed .

Their brought up and their way of perception of Love for their soul mate was totally different .

Kathir easily used his tricks and just like that looked inside Nandhini s heart and easily instilled all his thoughts inside her .

It worked really well !!!

Nandhini wasn't wishing to compromise the whole of her youth , for someone who is  going to spend most of his life time ,near blood ,urine and bile !!!

What will she do with a person who is going to live all his life in a hospital ?

She had colourful dreams of her own to persuade and goals to accomplish .

Her perception of life was different .

She expected something else from her better half .

Her man ,must be someone who is already a master in his profession _ not a starter .

He must be someone who can guide her and accompany her to accomplish her goals in life.

Not someone who has to struggle from scrap .

But ?

She threw a startled look now !!!

Who will accompany her to accomplish what all she wished for ?

Who will look after her like her father does & help her in her profession ?

She doesn't need a Chota Beem ...she needs someone already  mighty and powerful !!

Mighty and powerful like her big brother !!;

Gosh ...!

She hadn't thought of her life and profession in that angle till now !!

With a confused look at Kathir she unknowingly called him ,

Nandhini : Anna ...naan ,naan vanthu unga kitta ..

When Kathir s phone rang.

He thanked all the Gods and Goddesses he knew _ his plan was being executed exactly like how he had planned it ,

Kathir : hei ..Nandhu ,one minute da , oru mukkiyamana call varuthu da .
Attend pannidren ....

She started moving away from him when Kathir stopped her hurriedly .

Kathir : Ila ,Ila nee engayum pogaatha ,
En pakkathulla nillu , it's nothing personal ,,nee ingayaae nillu Nandhu .

Nandhini : Sari Anna ! Her lips moved but her mind was still lingering in questions of her own when she heard her brother exclaim with joy ,

Kathir : Hey Kailesh !!! Sweet suprise man !!
When are you  coming over !

A string of light immediately lit inside Nandhini on hearing that name .

A well framed , handsome man with a warm smile sprang up inside her thoughts ,

Kathir continued ,

Kathir : Busy man ...Enada suprise ah vara ?

Kailesh sincerely answered his question and tolerated all his nonsense too .

Kailesh : Machi ...ennada maathi maathi pesura ? Nandhini ,vishyam pathi solli ,nee thana enoda virupatha ketta ?
Ipo enna onum theriyaatha maathiri pesura ?

Kathir : Nee yethuku da , Prags eh mattum thaniya anupina ?

Kailesh : Nee thanada , Jodhpur ku flight yerinavana cancel pannitu , awala mattum thaniya anupa sonna ?

Kathir : oh yes . ..Enga veetu elders maathiri illama , nee thana  ponnunga na , thaniya travel laam panna theriyanumnu solluviyaae !
Thaniya travel panni , thaniya work panna than... experience varum _ apurama namma guide panna , awanga sucessful ah vanthruvanganu ,adikadi solluviyaae .
Unoda calculation romba correct da .

Kailesh : Naan yepoda sonnen ? Ithelaam nee thana solluva !
Nee sonnatha ,neeyae yen maathi maathi pesura .
Machi ...what are you upto ?

Kathir answered exactly opposite to his question ,

Kathir : Oh en pakkathulla Nandhini eruka da ,my sweet little sister!
She too is a bold lady you know!

He stressed that ' Bold lady ' wantedly  along with that ' sweet little sister' !!!

Nandhini s face glowed from inside bon hearing that bold lady !!

Yup ...she told to herself ,she was no small girl _ she was a grown up lady .

She was a grown up lady , infact well grown up to match a man like Kailesh .

Nandhini didn't even realise that she was thinking all this ,

Kathir just continued , knowing what his sister was going through. Her face was reflecting everything she thought.

Kathir : Enada sonna Kailesh ?

Kailesh : Naan enatha sonnen. Nee sonnatha than naan , format maathama ,senchutaae varanaae !!
Aaj tho ,thumara sugaag raat hena ...athan enna enavo pannitu eruka !!

Kathir : Alaga Tamil pesura da ...enga aalungalaae unkitta thoothuruvaanga !

Kailesh: Theriyama oru line , Hindi la vanthruchu da . Sorry man . Nandhini kitta pesitiya ?

Kathir s emphasis on their mother tongue worked out very well , exactly like her father .

Nandhini s face seemed to brighten up more and clear too .

Without an ounce of shame he buttered his friend again ,loud enough to be audible to his sister,

Kathir : Unaku ennada. ... successful business man !

Kailesh: Unnaiya vidda va ?
Nandhini pathi thana keten ... pakkathulla erukaanu sonna ?
Nee paatuku vera ennavo solra .

Kathir : Athuvum .... next year , The most successful young CEO award kooda nee vaangalaam !

Kailesh : Deeei ....vaai erukunu , yen da ipadi adichu vidra ?
Antha award eh than ,nee yepovoo win pannitiyaae !!!

Kathir : Yethu ...inum win pannanuma ?
Pothum da ...naanum konjam business pannanum da macha !!

Nandhini now felt basking in a shower of fresh scented flowers .

Was her brother this close with him ?

Why didn't she even think about this Kailesh once in all these years ?

Baran ' s image slowly started fading from her inner vision and was totally erased off , on hearing Kathir s next bouncer ,

Kailesh : Unaku naan machinaan aaga last year mudiyaathunu sollitu,ipo nee enaku machan aaga poriyaae _ apuram yethuku sambantham illama pesura machi ?
Marriage vishyam da _ no play man , Nandhini oda consent enaku romba mukkiyam !!

Kathir : Thani ya bachelor ah suthurathu naala thanda intha pechu pesura ,

Kailesh : Pesurathu yelam nee thana da .
Naan awa sammatha thanada keten ? Vera ennatha pesinen .

Kathir : Unakunu oru " Lady Boss " engaiyaachum poranthu erupa paaru !!
Awa vanthu ...unnaiya aati vaikum bothu than , oru family man prechanae ennanu unaku puriyum !!!

Nandhini s frame jerked on hearing that single word from Kathir !!!

Instantly she got reminded of one another voice ....that echoed from somewhere deep from a well !!!

Awa oru " Lady Boss"  _ unna maathiri " Baby kutty"  kedaiyaathu  !!!

Oh ...who wants to be a baby ,when she has the opportunity of being the Lady Boss itself ?

Kathir exactly knew the thought processes of Nandhini and uttered the very same word same word , Baran had said to Mithra .

He knew the thorn that had been pricking Nandhini s heart _ and very well knew the art of removing it as well .

He did it with ease !!!

He had already planned things and had spoken to Kailesh also .

And now ,

Kathir very well knew .... Nandhini had almost totally melted and yielded _ in simple ,she had fallen into his trap very easily .

But , Kathir wasn't willing to leave things unfinished .

There was something more to be done yet ,

He continued talking to Kailesh ,

.
Kathir : Apuram ...enakaaga nee ivlo thooram varathuku romba thanks .

Nandhini : What ? Is he coming ...now ?

Kathir : Ennama ketta ?

Nandini : Onum illa Anna . Phone la pesunha ...awar wait panraaru paarunge !

Kathir : Athana ? Kailesh .....iniyum ,nee wait panna thevai illada .
Seekirama vanthu seru !!
Enakum time aaguthu ....Haan marakama naan sonna ...

Kailesh cut off from the other side ,

Kailesh : Sana' s  Florists eh visit pannitu than varen .
Ellam nee sonna maathriyae than _  Ithuku mela settai pannathada , mudilla !!

Kathir : Naan inum aarambakiavaae illaiyae machi !

Kailesh : Hey Raam ! Sathyama mudila machi .
Please give me ten more minutes man . Am on the wheels !!Karunai kaatu ....Valli vera sariya therila .

Kathir : Coool macha !

He cut the call and smiled at Nandhini without speaking a word more .

Few minutes passed by ,

It had started to dristle again as a fresh shower ,

When Nandhini asked slowly ,

Nandhini : Ulla polaama Anna..... Sky romba erutta aagitu varuthu _ bayama eruku ,

Kathir : Ipo vellicham vanthrum paaru ...wait Karo ,

He hadn't finished his sentence when that expensive car came sliding smoothly along the street and entered the parking lot and braked.

From it ,  a well groomed , well dressed , handsome Kailesh got down with a warm coy smile adorning his pinkish lips ,with truth filled eyes and a beautiful bouquet of flowers _ Orchid ,tulips and carnation interwoven with blood red roses .

He approached them in firm solid steps and turned around to Kathir ,

Kathir had asked him to do something else ...

But it must have been Luck or Fate ,that .... without his knowledge Kailesh s eyes widened in appreciation on looking at the traditionally dolled up beauty of Nandhini.
Before he could check his tongue words had slipped his lips ,

Kailesh : You look so beautiful baby girl !!  This is for you !!

He handed over the flower bouquet to her with a twinkle in his eyes that , Nandhini immediately fell in for him and accepted the bouquet as if she had been waiting all her life for this Prince charming of hers !!

Nandhini : T h..tha...t h a n k y o u !!

When she finally mustered up all her senses to thank him and looked around , the rain had started pouring again .

Her brother ?

Just like that he had vanished into the thick dense darkness of the night .

Minutes later....

In a small room of that old fashioned house , that was stacked up with heaps  of rice grains and pulses  ,

Mullai was shivering and shuddering within the hands of her husband ,which had encircled her waist in a firm grip .

With his head tugged into the crook of her neck ,he was kissing her neck and lips alternatively .

Mullai : Shppp ....Kathirrr .... please , vidunga ....inum ...inum time eruku , ...am..amma oru neram sonange .
Ninge ....mela ...enoda ...room ku...ponga.
Yaarachum .....paathuda poranga .she said inbetween his fiercefull ,soul stirring kisses . Her breath was turning erratic and she struggled for breath .
Kathirrrr ..... please,she tried to  wriggle away from him ,on feeling his mighty hands carress all over her body , cupping her breasts with want any hunger. 

Easing off , all her attempts to free herself in one go ,he brought her back into his clutch and sucked her lips ,

Kathir : Vaadi !

He kissed her lips full , once again ,

Poovaika ...Poongaatru , Seer Seithathaae ,

Puthu Vaanam Poo Thoovuthaae !!!

The rain showered all over once again ,
