THANGA THAMARAI MAGALAE

Hyderabad

The city of pearls and trade.

In "Amids "  one of the posh residential as well as business
centre of the metropolitan, was situated Murugan"s
residence.

Hailing from a small town in TN ,with no big education,he had struggled a lot  and somehow had managed to earn quiet a handful in Hyderabad.

He came to this city decades back,with his wife, a small
baby in hand & just sufficient money that he managed to juggle somehow.

Following a drift with his roots, he had left his home town for good ,but only after carrying a dark secret and a very good fortune along with him.

He had managed to sneak in & made it high to the "City of
pearls "through his friend who was into textile business at Tirupur.

After getting separated from his family totally ,he associated
with this friend only and started his business on a small scale.

Murugan' , himself coming from a family who dealt mainly textiles, that experience, along with his inborn tactics as well as crooked ways made him easily surpass his own friend very soon and dig himself a firm foot in Hyderabad.

If Murugan was clever his wife Parvathy was super shrewd.

Infact she was the one who sculpted a relatively innocent & blunt Murugan into a marvellous self-centred and
shrewd person who went onto the extent of ditching his own
roots.

When they came to Hyderabad , Mullai _ their only daughter was a
small baby.

Parvathi never had maintained a good rapport with her in laws nor sister in law _ Lakshmi.

Parvathi s hometown was Pollachi.

Her parents were no more then and her only relation was her elder cousin brother Mr. Thiyagarajan and his Mrs.
Sridevi.

If Murugan had any streaks of concern or affection towards his sister and her family it was totally erased by Parvathi _ even without his knovwledge.

But she was an extremely hard worker who really stood as
the best half of her husband,in business and uplifted their
whole living onto the next platform.

That too in a huge industrial centre like Hyderabad.

When they were doing well and prosperous in work, unfortunately she breathed her last .

Till then, Murugan didn't have any worries nor regret for something he did.

But her sudden demise, evoked a sense of fear within him.

Was it someone s curse?

Did someone s suffering, reflect back in his own life ??

( AN _ when I wrote this story for the previous time , Chithra was very much alive .
Now ,when I write that word "Curse" ,it really irrks me hard  ,
since we really  gotta  know few people's real face after C s demise .

Especially , that so called positivity psrp madam . Reference .Medam s story about KM  s edits .

Never knew such a creature even existed until seeing her post on the 3 rd day after C s death that she is fan of only Mullai and Kumaran ,but not Chithra . So she continues to be Mullai fan but not C s anymore .Enna yelavu logic oh !!

Whilst the co star is being God worshipped , the deceased is thrown down as thrash .

I don't know whether curses of the affected will really turn true ,but one request from me as a sister , "Respect the Dead"

The living can afford to have friends as well foes .

But the deceased are once for all gone _ no way they can come back to us the same as ever _ I don't want to do research about whether the person was good or bad , now when she is no more .

When she was alive , we liked her for various reasons .

Let's continue that since she is no more .

So if possible don't hate her , nor abuse her in name of that so called positivity _ tat the support was only for the fictional character on screen and not the actress who put her soul into it for 2 yrs .

I have no say wrt the co actors _ it's up to their respective fans .

But , if not for C s hardwork and efforts ,this Mullai character wouldn't have got this huge reach , which the newbie is now relishing happily  and the so called positivity spreaders claim it as this new one"s achievement .

Defy it's not 💯 true _ which their conscience know very well .

But ,

Disrespecting and degrading the deceased , shoving down their  hardwork and owing the sucess to someone else , isn't a genuine deed .

Respect the untimely departure of that poor girl and give her the credits she owes .

Sorry for deviating away from the story 🙏)

Back to NILALA NIJAMA ...

( This story will have Chithra only  as Mullai _ how many times it gets reported  .
Actually in all MN series , I never had K nor C in mind clear cut as leads .
But , NILALA ? NIJAMA ? will have Chithu as the female lead )

Now ,

Murugan' _

If he  had thought on straight lines he would have repented for his deed and would have tried to sort things
in a positive manner.

As well if had thought with consience  he could have patched up with
his roots way back.

But the evil seeds that were sowed in him , made him think exactly the opposite.

He bore more vengeance and more enemity towards them.

lt grew more and more higher and thicker.

With him being left with a small daughter, help to raise the little girl came in the form, Parvathi" s cousin brother Thiyagarajan.

He as well who hailed from Pollachi had settled for good in Chennai , along with his wife Sridevi and their only son Karthiban, who was few years elder to Mullai.

Along with them stayed MissRajalakshmi , Sridevi "s elder sphinster sister.

When they had come for the funeral, little Mullai was taken care of by Raji .

When the family returned back to Chennai, Raji stayed back at Hyderabad itself, owing to the selfless love she held for the small motherless kid.

Of all the dark qualities Murugan possessed, he was clean with women.

He didn't want to get hitched a second time.

His daughter and his business were his priority.

Raji being elder to him by nearly 8_9 yrs stood a responsible sister to even the evilish man.

Having relied upon her thoroughly wrt his daughter, Murugan kept his business life off guard from them both.

With his  export business getting more competitive, his work demanded his presence especially in  abroad mostly inMidEast for nearly 6_7 months of th year .

The rest of the year was spent in Hyderabad.

When life seemed to go in clear stream ,life showed it's cruelty once more when his bro in law"s family too was lost in an aircrash.

Raji though was uprooted, never gave up Mullai and brought her up as her own dainty loving daughter .

Years passed by in their own pace .

All the tragedy along with the grey sides of his work, turned Murugan into a kind of overprotected father.

And he was kinda superstitious after Parvathi s demise  and believed that the curses of his past : curses of his sister ( Lakshmi ) were  the reasons of all his loss.

With him thinking crooked as always, he failed to realise that the mistake was on his side.

He vowed to himself that never ever his daughter was to know about her roots way back in Avinashi.

Not being well educated he had always this longing that his daughter should go in for good education.

With Mullai being a brilliant student by nature, he got her.admitted into professional course.

He held affection for his daughter but with restrictions.

He had never been the friendly dad that Mullai always yearned for.

A pleasant smile had never escaped her dad" s lips, whilst speaking as far as she remembered.

But he held allove & concern for his only daughter.

She knew it.

That was one of the reasons, that though pursuing a professional degree, she had to abide to her father's cynical rules.
Rules with regarding to her dressing.

Rules with regarding to her friends or to be particular, friends of the opposite sex .

He was still stigmatic in it .

As well was short tempered in it.

For reasons unknown, Murugan had slapped her batch mate just because he claimed himself as Mullais friend.

Mullai didn't know why he was so regressive in regard tothis.

Maybe because  she is his  only daughter ?

Maybe..

But another main reason was her ravishing beauty .

Mullai !

She had grown up to be a perfect blend of abundant beauty with brain ,but with a child like heart at the same time ,that was filled with innocence and mercy for fellowbeings .

Thirai minnathan tharai minnathan ,

Puthu Vinmeenaai iwal vanthaalaae ,

Vizhiyaal yethaiyum mozhivaal ,

Mozhigal kadanthum olirvaal iwal ,

Oliyaai alagaai polivaal iwal !!

A rare yet precious invaluable combination .

With a perfectly sculpted hour glass figurine, satin smooth ivory skin ,bright big eyes and spongy rosy lips, she for sure was a jaw dropper, amongst a crowd.

Ilaingnar kanavil _ Dhinamum Iwal !

Palarin manadhil  _ Malarum Mullai iwal !

Silarin vizhiyil _ Uruthumpagaiyum iwal !

Nilavaai ,Nilavaai , Kaaikindraal !

She was a rare combination of beauty, intelligence as well innocence that any man would earn for.

That was one of the main reason ,Murugan always turned
a cold shoulder towards her male friends.

And was even worse when they were from TN for reasons only he knew.

If not for the motherly affection and love showered by Raji amma, Mullai would have been tormented.

In short she was leading a golden caged Bird s life.

Her wings were always tied up with golden threads.

But inspite ot all this , Mullai was still a brimming bud bubbling with spirits and positive vibes.

Though she possessed much wealth inherited from her father as well all the luxury of life ,she had never ever possessed pride as the only princess of a filthy rich man , nor had the attitude that she was a topper pursuing a most respectfull profession .

Pugalai thurathi palar alaiyum ooril ,

Iwalai thurathi , Pugal alaiya kandaal !!

Uyara Uyara thimir valarum Peril ,

Vaanai adainthum Panivai Iwal kondal !!!

Thanks to the proper guidance and upbringing of Rajjiamma .

Rajiamma had just not brought up a small motherless child , she infact had nurtured a priceless angel !!

Mullai  had just completed her internship and was on the idea of preparing for higher studies.

Mullai vanam !

The day had dawned pretty much bright for Mullai that day
Mullai came down stairs from her room .,in that early morning .

Dressed in a turquoise blue silk  salwar, she had pulled her into
a top knot in a pale baby blue pink  scrunchie.
It was the most
comfortable attire for her profession.

A three studded diamond drops with a matching diamond pendant set in rose gold chain with a branded wrist watch were her only accessories.

Of all ,the bright smile she wore on her pinky plump lips was her best accessory that accentuated her beauty
multifold.

And for a young girl in early twenties and been brought up in a metro politan, with a good fortune , she did possess modest and good habits.

Coming down into the hall ,she went sideways to the pooja room of that big house.

A wall length potrait of her mother welcomed her warmly.

She joined her palms and prayed in silence before the potrait.

Then turning towards the idols ,she recited slogams in a quiet soft voice.

God knew what her prayers where but she was acknowledged by a bright red and yellow string of roses
falling down straight from the idol of Shri Ganesha, into her hands.

The simple gesture owerwhelmed the innocent soul.

She happily hopped in to share the happiness with her
God mother.

Mullai: Raji ma,..Rajima ..enga irukinha?

Raji: Enama?

Mullai: Poo vanthchu innaiku .Red & yellow.Saami padathulla irunthu vilunthuchu paarunga.

Rajiamma: She smiled at the innocence and beauty of her
baby

Veetlayae vachu pooti vachukanum.
Sometimes appa ipdi behave panrathu enaku oru maathri

Not wanting to see her child pull a
sorrow face, Raji amma diverted the topic.

Rajiamma: Sari ma ,atha vidu . Ipo poo vanthuchunu
sonniyae ? Yethuku ?

Mullai: Hmm...pratanaiya solla koodathu ,but unga kitta
mattum sollalaam.
Enaku next PG pursue pannanum ma.
Athuku prepare pannanum .Ingayae paakalama ,ella vera
engachum try pannalama nu yosichen.
And foremost, athuku chance erukanu nenachen, athan
good sign ah poo vanthrichu.
Enimel en life eh change aaga pothu paarunga!!

She didn't know why she said those words !!

Simply out of blue !!

Not knowing what was there in store for them.

,Murugan ,who had heard only the last sentence of what his daughter spoke ,came inside the hall with a question in his face.

Murugan:Apdi enna pappa , maara pothu ?

Mullai:
Acho ...appa ! Ma...save me.

Rajiama: Awa saami kumbitaa kathaiya solra,Muruga.
Vera onum illa.

Murugan: Hmm..

Mullai: Paa?

Murugan: Sollu pappa.

Mullai: Naan ...naan.

Murugan: Sollu.

Mullai:I want to prepare for higher studies pa.

Murugan:Nalla vishyam thana ?
Athuku yen ma yelukra ?

Mullai: la pa ...Na Hyderabad vittu, vera sila places la,I mean out of Hyd, maybe in Chennai or Cochi la coaching ku join pannalaam paakren.
Fellowships laam kooda..

His face changed instantly. The rude face sprang up.

Murugan: Yen ...inga padicha enna ?
Inga illatha coaching
centres ah ella college ah?

Mullai: Ilapa ,enaku pudicha spe.

He didn't allow her to speak more.

Murugan: Inga paaru pappa.
Mela padikrathuna padi.
Aana onu ...

Mullai: Enna ?

Murugan:Intha varshathukulla un kalyaanam mudiyanum.
Athuku apuram venumna padi.
Puritha?

Mullai: Hmm.Kalyaanam ah ? Ipo va?

Raji ma .. She called in a pleading tone for help but in vain.

Rajiama:Unga appa ku ,un kalyaanam periya porupuma!!
Athan .

Whatever,Raji ama wasn't her mother., to take rights over Mullais dad's decision.

Mullai was left with no option
.
Just minutes ago she felt an unknown happiness whilst praying and now the tables suddenly turned upside.

She had no say.

She cursed her own fate.

Mullai: Sari pa.

Even though, she didn't have big dreams regarding her married life and life partner, she was 300 percent sure that hers would be a pakka arranged marriage.

But she didn't expect the wedding talks so early.

With a slightly lowered head, her thoughts withered within her.

Mullai
MV: Aandava, kalyaanam laam naa ipo ketena?
Naan enna vendinen, nee enna thara ?
Aiyo intha appa yen ipdi erukaaru.
Naan perusa onum kekkala .Padika thana aasapaten. En
career enna aagurathu?
Athuku yen padika vaikanum?
Hmm...
Fine appa kandippa kalyaanam panni vachutu than

But Aandava, naan unkitta orae oru request than panre.

Intha appa, maathri oru sidumoonjiya katti vachuraatha.
Life long ah, ithae maathri eruka mudiyaathu.
Vera yethuvum vendaam..
Please.please.

She was this obedient child that instantly she accepted to her dad's consent for marriage.

Her only expectation being a human who afford to smile and make her smile too & shower her with affection
openly.

Murugan: Enna ma, yosikra?

Mullai: Haan ...onumilla pa.

Murugan: Sari enga kelambita?

Mullai: Midhulla veetuku pa. Innaiku completion certificate vaanganum.

Murugan: Sari seekirama poitu va

Mullai: Sari pa. Rajima ,varen.

She left without speakinga word more ,not knowing what that Anandava had in stock for her !!!

After she left ,Murugan turned to Raji amma sside.

Murugan: Akka?

Rajiama: Sollu Muruga .

Murugan: Intha varsham ,naa velli naadu porathukulla ,pappaoda kalyaanatha mudivu pannitu
than poganum.

Rajiama: Hmm..Varan laam visarika aarambikanum.

Rajiama: Muruga ,naa onnu sonna ...kochuka maatiyae?

Murugan: Hmm... sollunga.

Murugan: Akka ....Naa yaaruku venumnaalum en ponna

Murugan: Amaam. Naa than oru Vella senchen than . En

En ponnaiyum ,antha yedathaiyum yaaruku

Vera nalla yedama , Aandavan en ponnuku kaatuvaaru !!

He left leaving in a mix guilt,pride ,ego and agony.

None of them ready knew what Aandavan had in store for
them.

***************
Coimbatore:

RS puram.

Lakshmi Awenue:

In one of the flats of the ground floor, Kathir and Sadha were yet again in discussion.

It hardly took a few days for the case proceedings to go.

And as for the land, with Sadha sir " s assistants doing a perfect job, Kathir s prediction turned 100 percent true.

He was to earn a fortune with the new dyeing unit as well .

A perfectly planned and well executed strategy that had
worked out well.

As whilst Sadha was happy with it and praising Kathir for
his wit, Kathir seemed to thoughtfull in something else.

Sadha: Thambi ,athan neenga nenacha maathriyae ellam

Kathir: Hmm..

Kathir: Epadi?

Just as he was above to speak more his mobile ran .

Sadha: Yaaru?

Kathirv: Jeeva anna sir. Ipo than anna, Coimbatore thaandi

And he attended the call.

His face slowly started to loose it"s colour !!!
