POO NEE POO.

Disc: Hi guys ,though this isn't a filler chap and carries thestory it may not appear so. Sorry for it.

Coimbatore:

Kovai medical ICU unit.

The medical team was surrounding him as usual.

All the faces bore tinges of apprehension and confusion.

He wasn't consious.

Outwardly, there wasn't an inch of motion from him.

Still as ever he lay quietly appearing like the deep core calm dense ocean.

But

But

Deep down ,his subconscious mind was caught up in a rapid swirl...with surges of turbulence, ripping his soul
apart !!

He as usual felt himself left lonely.

This time it wasn't the blood hot desert.

His inner vision had opened out to find himself caught in a swirling swift whirlpool of the darkest and deepest ocean.

He tried hard  very hard to get out off the clutches of the turbulent ripples which pulled him down and down, with the only intention of drowning him for good.

Will he survive this ?

He lost control of his limbs ,no where could he get a hold in those dark gushing waters.

One pull..he tried and ebbed.. before realising what next ,he was pulled down again.

The God of Death  seemed to be well  determined in ending up
his destiny.
.
As he waddled in the waters without support,he helped himself to muster  with utmost efforts and looked
up for his guardian angel.

His eyes opened with great difficulty against the brackish waters and fished for hers.

A greenish yellow hue surrounding him out and out was all that he could see ..

Will she appear exactly like how she did previously in the other places when he was tormented?

As he was drowning fast within the swirling whirpool he saw it .

First it appeared as a small peck amidst the huge turbulence.

He at first got a glimpse of the sparkling orbs.

He paused...

His breath choked.

The twinkle seemed to vanish.

He didn't give up .

The urge to search and find his saviours orbs ,made him
fight back.

With utmost difficulty he managed to swim out of the swirl.

And searched yet again..

His breath caught up again.

He didn't give up yet!

Breathing was getting difficult again.

But his eyes had seen her now !!

The same bright sparkling eyes, seemed to take form in the waters.quiet at a distance from him.
His guardian angel !!

With a violent dive he swarm against the gushing current of waters towards her.

The monitors beeped, displaying his vitals in bright neon
colours.

The medical team looked at eachother in absolute confusion .

It was a challenge for them.

His well wisher' s face who was waiting outside ,seemed to loose its colour slowly.

****************

Hyderabad

Mullai had made up her mind for good.

There was absolutely no point in pondering over split milk .

She badly needed to put things in place for everyone's peace of mind.

She had a point and she had to prove it at any cost.

Her love was unadulterated. ( Atleast for her)

And she needs to infuse that fact deeply into that thick skulled arrogant man .

He was one of a kind..

One who stands firm in his point and convinces every one to follow his foot steps.

Maybe..

Till then, he must have been correct and successfull in whatever he attempted to.

But ,still..

It doesn't rule out the possibility that he too might turn wrong .

That he too can slip a step down.

And she  believed ,this was one such issue.

A very important one to be honest.

He had to be shown that he too can be wrong, and that her love was pure.
She closed her eyes in pain .

Within her closed eyes, immediately sprang up the face of,

Not Karthiban !!

But,

The face of Kathir !!!

The bad guy !!!

No..just not bad guy.

The evil guy !!!

Only an evil person can speak such cruel things.

How could he afford to say so ?,

Tears pricked.

His voice echoed right in ..

" Enakum konjam manusha thanmai enukurathu naala than, Karthibanum unnaiya virumbinaan ngra unmaiyya
solliten !!,"

" Aana, atha nenachu, santhosha padratho , vethanai padratho,unoda ishtam."

" But, whatever awan unaku kedaika maatan !!!"

Cha !

Mullai spoke to herself,

lla ...naan awlo easy ah ungala vidratha illa Mr.Kathir.

Neenga enaku answer panniyae aaganum.

And maybe this time, I may be the winner.

Epovumae neengalae than jeyyakanumnu awasiyam
illa !!!

Apadi enna than eruku Avinashi la?

After a outburst all by her ownself, she surfed the transport awailablities.

She was ofcourse a tender soft ,fragile girl.

Ofcourse she was emotionally weak as he said,

She was timid to a certain level.

And she did possess an attitude as he pointed out.

But she couldn't the decipher the context of why he hit hard regarding her attitude.

Till now she didn't know why he accused her so ?

Well ..
Of all what he said ,her love was true.

So was her determination !!!

Kathir "s raging face resurfaced again.

So did, Karthiban" s soft smiling face !

She decided to travel .

Not fearing her dad ,aunt or anything for that matter.

Mullai called up Midhulla and cooked up a short story,in case she was questioned about her whereabouts.

Raji amma was to return only by that weekend.

Mullai could very well return back by then ,if things went on smoothly.

She just left her a msg that ,she is to attend a two day CME along with Midhulla.

And the place was Chennai !!

She wanted to visit KN Textiles before going to Avinashi.

Karthiban' s call to Rajiamma,made her try her luck at Chennai first, before going to meet the beast in his own den.

Currently she couldn't think of a better adjective to name
him.

She flew.

To Chennai.

******k ******k ***
KN TEXTILES

CHENNAI:

Located in the outskirts of the city, it was quiet a spacious place.

And it was a suprise for Mullai.

The business though was texiles in the name board, it exclusively dealt with the raw materials and texiles that
was needed for hospital usages.

The sheets and covers needed for beds in many of the
leading nursing homes of the metropolitan.

They were knit and woven quiet differently from normal
texiles' clothing.

As well they manufactured the materials & surgical clothing that were used in operation theatres and intense care units.

Those were different fabrics than those used for normal clothing sake.

It required lots of meticulous processings and sterilising
methods before being supplied to the hospitals.

No wonder Murugan and Karthiban didn't discuss about
texiles and business at home.

Well
.
Now.

Was he here ?

Mullai pulled out her iPad and surfed for details and called the number saved.

The personal manager came out to greet her.

Once informed who she was, she noticed his face change to a robotic mode.

He ofcourse treated her with all due respect ,but for sure ,his face changed.

P:Va.vanga madam. Solli eruntha, airport kae vanthu
receive pannirupenae madam.

Mullai: It's ok. Ithu oru suddenly planned trip.
But ungalkku epadi ennaiya theriyum?

P:Ungala epadi madam theriyaama pogum ? Hi .hi..
sirru ..ku..he meant Karthiban only and hesitated to speak more.
Haan apuram appavaiyum theriyum ,madam.

Mullai: Oh! romba years ah work panringala ?

P:Yelu yettu maasama than inga eruken madam.
Vaanga,ulla vanga please .

As whilst entering she noticed interested faces looking at
her.

And turning around she asked,

Mullai: Karthi ya ipo paakanumae. Is he free ?

P:he looked back in confusion .Madam?

Mullai: Karthi ya paakanumnu sonnen.

P: Sir .sir unga kitta sollalaya madam?

Mullai: Enna nu ?

P: lla madam.MD sir, oru chinna vella vishyama, Goa ku poirukaaru.
Athan... ungalkku therinchu erukumnu ..

She wasn't suprised. Infact she had expected such an
answer only.

Again she couldn't help herselffrom appreciating Kathir .

He had been true & meticulous in every single detail he had told her.

Not exhibing her emotions on her face she called to the personal manager.

Mullai b: It's..its .ok.Oru help.

P: Sollunga madam.

Mullai:I gott to catch another flight in a couple of hours.

Athuvaraikum ,lunch yeduthutu stay panna inga pakkathulla yethachum decent ana hotel eruka?

P:Acho.enna madam ipdi sollitinga. Ungala poi hotel la thanga vacha ,sir enoda seat ah kilichuruvaaru.
Vaanga madam ,sir oda room ae eruku.

She followed him upto the room which bore the mettalic gold coloured board that was imposed on the huge thick wall.

KARTHIBAN .MD.

Mullai : Illa.. Karthi oda office room la poi epadi..

P:Illa madam, ullukulla ,side door valliya ,sir oda personal room ae eruku.
Ella facilities oda Anga rest yeduthu konga madam.

Mullai: Illa.

P:Please vanga mam. Ipdi ungala nikka vachu pesinathu therincha , sir thituvaar.

It's well furnished. Please mam.

Not wanting to bother him more,she accepted and entered the room.

As she turned around ,the first thing that caught her attention was the wall length huge potrait of Karthiban,
standing majestically; was seen behind his working table.

She looked ..nope stared at it for more than few minutes

A minute...

Something caught her eyes.

He stood drop dead gorgeous in that potrait .

No doubt

She neared it ..

Unable to withhold herself she neared it and stood beside .

Slowly running her fingers along it, she took a look again at the potrait .

Tears brimmed at the thought of losing..

Something placed on his working table caught her breath by the minute.

This...

This ... another nostalgic moment hit her ..

Gosh!!

All the nostalgic moments of these 2_3 months hit her hard.

Crashing down ,she broke in wild tears.

Why did that Kathir do all of this to her?

A knock was heard.

Keeping a straight face she opened..

The manager was standing... with her lunch parcel.
Handing it to her he asked.

P: Madam, car ketruthingalae madam, airport ku ?

Mullai: ama .

P:Athu correct ah vanthruvaanga.
Hyderabad ku return ah madam ?

Mullai: Ella, Avinashi ku !!
