8.50 AM

The solo photo shoot of kathir was done...
He was called to the hall from him room...

He could see all the relatives had turned up for the function as it was about to start...
The stage was decorated so well with flowers...
A single chair was placed along with all decorated plates....
Deepam was lighted on both sides of the chair illuminating the place...
It was time for nalangu for the bride to be..
Along With more than 100 people around, he started waiting for mullai...

9.00 AM...

Mullai came to stage, greeted everyone and sat on the chair...

She was supported by her friends on either side adjusting her hair, accessories and saree while making her sit....

The nalangu function started...

All ladies started keeping nalangu to mullai by applying sandal on cheeks, keeping kumkum on forehead and blessing with akshathai...

Kathir was just standing a little far away from the stage along with this friends with eyes on thing happening on stage...

Mullai once she got settled in stage just looked up for him, found him standing with hands folded across chest and gazing at her with a smile...

With the nalangu function going on, he could feel a different mullai..
Always he had found her beautiful..
With makeup, without makeup, simple dress or dressed with extreme care no matter how she was, she looked beautiful...

But now kathir found her beautiful in a very different aspect....
Her face was gleaming in happiness..
Everytime her eyes locked with his showed pure ecstasy....
Her cheeks adorned with sandal couldnot hide her blush...
Her hands which were periodically adjusting the akshathai put on her showed her excitement...
More than everything the wide grin of satisfaction in her lips that competed with her bliss in eyes made her alluring...

Can beauty can be defined with internal feelings alone not with external features...

Yes external things can fade...
Emotions and feelings cant...

Kathir can get it now...

Mesmerizingly kathir was looking the customs done once in a while answering questions to people around...

When he turned around to speak something to jeeva, he found murugan and parvathi standing at a distance from stage just like him and seeing mullai with happy tears in their eyes... Parvathi was wiping her tears with her saree pallu....

Kathir unknowingly got a sense of ownership on those two souls who love his love infinitely...

He moved to them...

Seeing him, Mu and P controlled themselves...

Mu : mapilla...

Etha venuma....

K : illaa mama... neenga rendu perum sapitengala nu kekka vanthen...

Mu and P exchanged a happy look..

Mu : nanga achu mapilla...

K : saringa mama...

Mu : neenga mapila???

K : saapiten mama....

After that, He stood with them for few minutes as a moral support without speaking a word....

All three glancing at mullai fondly...

At the sametime,
Mullai looked for kathir in the place he was standing and found him missing...

She just scanned the hall and spotted him with her parents...

The scene of him with her parents and immense love in all three's eyes made her emotional....

Her eyes became moist....

All three tensed up a little nodded their head as no and tried to cheer her up with a smile...

She smiled back at them and turned to the proceedings...

Seeing kathir,

P : valanthutale oliya chinna pullaa than mapilla...

Kathir smiled at her and nodded acknowledgingly....

Mu : aama mapilla... chat chat nu aluga vanthudum... kovam vanthudum... aana manasula onum vechuka matta.... neenga tha.....

He couldn't speak more..
He stopped..

K : nan paathukaren mama...

A instant flow of affection gushed between all three...

D : Chithi... parisam podalama... nalangu mudinjuthu...

They saw mullai is made to get up from the chair and proceed down the stage...

9.40 AM...

The stage was getting ready with plates arranged in a manner to make both families sit opposite to each other for parisam....

The chair was removed...

All elders of both side families proceeded to the stage for parisam...

All others sitting in the chairs placed below the stage...

One side was moorthy, jeeva, kathir, kanna, kumaresan mama, kathir's periappa and some other relatives of him....

Kathir was sitting near moorthy Where as mullai was standing opposite to him....

On her side was Murugan, murugan's brothers, jega, sankar and some more relatives...

All ladies of the family were standing on the respective sides...

The customs were going on with elders reading lagna pathirikkai...

A feeling of contentment spread through them...

Plates were exchanged between murugan and moorthy...

Smiles spread through the entire family...

Mullai was called for giving her nichayathartha saree...

She received the blessings from the elders and got the saree from Dhanam....

She left to her room with her friends for dress change...

Dhanam informed kathir to go for dress change too...

He and his friends too left for the room....

When both of them about to enter their rooms, they stopped at the entrance and looked at the other....

With a smile, they went to change the dresses....

Kathir and mullai dressed up in their engagement dress and arrived at the stage...

The plates were removed from the stage and a decorated sofa was placed in the center for kathir mullai..

The rings were waiting for them to exchange their love...

The garlands expecting to hold on to them...

And there begins the Kathir Mullai Ring ceremony....
