Author wishes & prays for a corona free safe world soon .

There was more in life for them .

M pleated her saree back to place , combed up her hair and dressed up presentable .

They were back to comfortable zone .

M : Naa...namma evlo late ah ponna ? Kepangala ?

K : ...sighs...Hmmm...Kathava thatinaangala ?

M : Kekalanga.

K : ... scratches beards & was in thoughts......

M : Enna yosikriya ? kada Velaiya ? Athanae paathen. Enaku than theriyumae . Naa enna nenachutu eruken . Neega enna yosi ......

Kathir cut her off inbetween .....

K : Yei , yende .......nee epayachum than epdi than pesuvena nenacha ? Epoyumae epdi thana ? Kada Vella pathi nenaikraaga !! Naalaiku varaikum kada ella .

M : pinna Nethu sonniyalae ?

K : ...with thirutu mulli ....Athu ...athu...summa ....

M : 😳😳😡😡😡

K : naa atha yosikala....vidu . Epo Amma ,Anni yaarachum ketta , enna solrathunu than yosichen . Namma vaalkaiya aarambichutoom nu sonna ..... he sensed her face changed instantly ....it showed confusion ....
Yei ...inga paaru....naa apdi odanae sollunnu sollala ? Mothala epdi takkunu takkunu mudivuku varatha vidu .....

M : Naa epo takku takku nu enna midivuku vanthen ......Neenga kandiya paarunga ....chae......

K : ......his face showed naughtiness ....though she was irritated .....
Nearing her ..in husky voice .....Naa enna kandenu sollava ? Theliva nyabagam eruku !!!

Mullai almost lost balance and was about to trip & fall ...
She didn't expect this flirty tone of him....when he was looked serious on the outside....

M : ......Aaathhiiiii....
Erukum ....erukum...ungalku
Pesitu thana erukoom ? Naduvulla epdi panna ? Namma evlo mukkiyama vishyam pesuroom ?

..... But deep inside , she liked it . She liked that naughty tone of his .....Namma nenacha maathri ellam ella polayae....kindal , konjal.pechu ellam varuthu ....akaraiyavum than erukaaga .

That was something every newly wed girl would typically expect from her husband .

Though ,they started their life in a jiffy ......
Their basic problem was still there !!!!
They had to put up with each other throughout their life time .
If there was going to problems in that , then there was every chance of miserability .

But , without their knowledge ....they both had started falling in for each other ....by and by ...via these few talks and actions.

K : Enna pesitu erunthoom ? He gestured to seriously think .

M : ... ..was almost in tears .... please nga ...kindal panra nerama yethu ? Anga keta enna solrathu ? Ennala unga kita epdi sagajama pesara maathri solla mudiyaathu . Enna than akka ..athai laam santhosham paduvaanganu therinchaalum , epdi ore naal la ,na ? ...enaku oru maathri eruku. ... mamakum therinchurum. .... please nga .... rombavae ....koojama eruku .

Athu mattumila. Enum nammakulla sariya pesa , purinchuka kooda ellathana ?

Neenga kooda sonniyala ? Apo .....mothala .... Aaathhiiiii .....vaaya vitooma thirumba ?
Enna kaathiruko kadavullae ?

Kathir who was seriously thinking over , on her words .....gave a naughty grin . But , this wasn't the time.

Though he felt , his bro & Anni would be relieved and happy for them , what she meant was true.

They had been intimate . Yes ofcourse .

But that was not everything ,for them .

They had to a lot of things to get cleared bfore claiming it to the family .

Otherwise ,the family s expectations on them would be high.

It will surely embarrass her , him also .

He too felt it wud be easy for them to handle things ...if they ,cud hold this off from the family .

Afterall it was their own , pure personal ...there wasn't any compulsion that they should share it with the whole family ,just because they would feel happy !!!

He didn't realise ...that he started thinking her& him , as one commodity , rathere than two separate people .

Her words reflected it.

M : please...nga . Naa ....inga mattum sollala .....nethi appa pogum pothu ,avlo aluthutu sonnaaha ... enimel neenga than enaku , unga kooda santhoshama vaalntha , athuvae pothumnu laam sonnaru .
Amma.....loosu maathri polambi naalum , athukum , naa epdi nu , oru vaarthai sonna pothum .
Rendu perum Ambutu santhosham paduvaanga !!
Aana ....solla maaten. .......thellivaagurathuku munadi solla ...oru maathri eruku.

Athu mattum ella .....she paused. .......
neared him....her eyes were a little welled up ......looked him in his honest eyes & asked .....

Ithu .... ithu vanthu ,nammakulla nadanthathu ,namaku mattumae puriyum .
Epdi odanae ,evlo seekirama nu !!! Athu .....solla kooda therila ennaku .....aana purithu .....Enga erukuravuha namma kumdumbathaallunga than ....nichiyama romba santhosam paduvaanga than .
Athukaaga ....
Athukaaga .....yetha odanae sollanuma ?
Please .....please.......
She paused ...then continued ...more softly. .
Avanga santhosham paduvaanga ungalkku thonina sollidalaam ..... Her voice was barely heard ,and head was bent down !!.

Kathir : ????
He didn't speak for few minutes .
If at all he had thought she was simply gorgeous to look at , he had been absolutely wrong .
She had a much more beautiful heart ..

He instantly fell in for her without his knowledge !!!

K : ....Intha ....Mulla .....epo yethuku , epdi yaasikra maathri kekra enkita ?
Enaku ithu kooda puriyaatha ? Ponnungala avlo kooda enaku puriyaatha ?
Epothaiku ....onum solla vendaam . Namakulla oru purithal varatum .
Ij it ?
Nammalum enum onum mulusa sari aagala . Pacha poi 🙊.
Veetla thoonngitoomnu sollalaam .😳😳

There was no more discussion regarding it and they composed themselves.
He stopped her ,when she was about to leave .
When she looked at him , enquiringly , he handed over a carton of some oinment , a brand new pack .
She really didn't know what it was ?

Authoru again used the storeroom ,to help out Kathiru !!

K : ...athu ...athu vanthu. Neraiya kaayam patruchu.... looking away to the other side with a shy smile. ......naa than .......nadakavae sirama padra . Athan ..... oinment.. ..marundhu...potuko .
Now his head bent down ....
Seyyurathellaam senchutu vekkamaakum 🤦

Her face had turned pink red hearing what his words meant .

M : ...ewuga .....atha gavanichum erukaagala ? Yembutu akkaraiya erukaaga?

She didn't know she was falling for him ,faster than she ever imagined !!!

To hide her shyness , she asked him .....

M :
Ama ..... yethelaam vera ....Kadaila vikringala ? ungaluku yethellam apo theriyum .....Hmmmm ? ..

What was in her voice ? Suspicion ?

K : Yei ....nee vera ...... arambichutiya ? Amma , romba varshama bed layae thana erukaanga.....athunalla , punnu( bedsore) vanthrum adikadi .
Namma pakathu medical annachi kadaiku saruku kudukum bothu , naa than , ithayum bulka vaangi vachuruven !! Ammaku , moonu naaliku oru dappa theendu poidum .
Athan ......nee ninaikra maathrilaam , enaku vera yethuvum theriyaathu .
Kanna engayavathu vilundhu adipatukitu varuvaan ....apo anni potu viduvaanga ......avlo than .

Wow !! She never expected him to give her such a big explanation for a simple question she asked .
She didn't suspect .... just asked out of curiosity .
The Kathir whom she knew before , would have definitely snapped her off inbtwn and even pulled off the medicine from her .
But ...now ...he ...

He cared for her and had given it , paying heed to her question ,he had answered it .

She liked him . .
She liked him more now .
Was it only like ?

Her lips curved in an acknowledging smile .

PS household veranda :
It was almost , 8.35 am .
Jeeva was done with his daily routines ...and was little hesitant to speak to anyone . He retorted back to his work in room.

Dhanam seemed to be little apprehensive ....and calmed a bit on seeing Moorthy coming .

Authoru feels atleast for once , to show a sensible DM !!!

M : Enna D ...oru maathri eruka ?

D : ellla....mama .....athu .....inum ...Kathir millai room la irunthu varala ...mani 8.40 am aachu .....rendu perumae nethu Kovama erunthanga...... Athan.
Naa kaalaila eluppa la ...... yosanaiya eruku vera ..... romba kovama rendu perum yethum.....

M : Yei ...Nethu kalyaanam aanavanga de ...

D : aiyo. ..mama .....enaku theriyaatha ? Avanga saatharanama kalyaanam aana jodiya eruntha naa yen kavala pada poren .
Jeeva , Meena kooda vanthutaanga .
Antha ...Meena ....room la than tea kudipaanu , Jeeva kondu poi kuduthutaan .
Authoru in kaduppu _ Adinge !!!!
Evanga .....
D was really concerned about Kathir and Mullai.
Her eyes welled up for Mullai .
Paavam mama rendu perum .
Naa kathava thatala !!
Unaku punniyama pochu thaayee !!!
Vera maathri na , naa than romba santhosham paduven mama ......aana epo , bayama , kutraunaichiya eruku !!!

Moorthy then showed he is Kathir" s elder then .!!!

Mo:
D , romba potu olapikaatha . Naa nethi Kathir kitta yeduthu solliruken . Porumaiya erudaanum solliruken . Avan yen thambi de . Antha pullaiyum nalla ponnu. Naanga thooki valatha pulla . Apadiyae sanda pottalum enna epo ? Athellaam konja naalu thaan . Rendu perum , kudumbam mela romba paaasama eruka pullainga . Avanga mansasuku ellam nallathu than nadakum .
Ennaku Nambikai eruku .

Nee......

Just then their room door opened and M stepped out of the room, as neat she had entered the room , a hair not out of place .

Comb & Mirror courtesy: Kedi Kathiru 😜😜😜

Her face was calm ,but it didn't display any other emotions too.
Though D was little dissapointed ,( peraaasai than _ avlo seekiram company secret ah solla mudiyaathu !!) she , went into to the kitchen to prepare them tea.

Moorthy was as composed as Kathir ,and when he came out ,he just greeted his brother as causually as possible .
Whatever it was , it didn't seem appropriate for him to probe his brother about the late morning .
He had advised his little bro enough the previous day and he felt the couple needed their own healing time .

K :...anne ....late aagichunae .....night poora orae thoongala .... aluga ....kalaila kan asanthuten....... He will never disclose his wife's secret , but it wud obviously be awkard ....if he keeps mum .

Mo : ....Athuku yennada epo ....... kulichutu vaa....onum ella.
he felt ok knowing there wasn't any fight .
If she had cried to her husband ? .......
Moorthy .....took it as a positive sign !!!

Kathir felt relieved . His face was calm than never before that gave hope to Moorthy .

Kitchen :

Dh....was preparing tea for Mullai . M was quiet for her nature that was scaring D .
She didn't want to embarrass M by asking about the late morning , knowing the circumstances under which they were sent in last night . But ,
But only if M could speak out or even vent oit her anger towards her , D felt it would be good , good for both .

D : Mullai , yethuvumae pesa maatengra ?
Naa....naa...pannathu thappu than .....unnala enna manika mudiyaathu ....erunthalum enna kovam naalum thitidu , epdi amaithiya erukaatha !!
Kathiru. ... Kathiru ....romba nalla ......

She stopped abruptly on seeing Meena entering the kitchen , with the milk Sombu in her hand. 

Whilst Mullai stood there , without a strand out of place ,

Meena looked totally dishellved .....her saree disranged , hair dishellved , no bindhi ,one earing off .....
With her appearance ,one can easily judge about the happenings in a newly wed bedroom !!!

Dhanam felt too embarrassed as well as felt bad for Mullai .
Handing over the tea pot to both ,she left as quickly as possible ...

D : Meeña ...intha ma tea . Mullai nee kudichutina , kullika poriya ?

D was really concerned about Mullai getting hurt with Meena" s appearance .

Authoru has used the same morning kitchy scenario from original PS , after the wedding night between Mullai ,Meena and Dhanam .

Meena & Jeeva had not actually consummated their wedding owing to Jeeva s guilty consiousness.

Meena ,who doesn't want to reveal it out ,just puts up a show as if they had spent the night happily. 

Mullai on the other hand , is decked up as neat as ever ,as she was from last night .

(THIS PART IS AUTHORU " S ALPAASAI FOR LONG ..😜😜 )

M : ....wasnt actually bothered about Meena's appearance . She just didn't care ...about what her appearance implied .

Turning to Dhanam ,

M : Naa kudichutu poren ka . Neenga poi athaiya paarunga .

Her tone was calm that irked Meena .

Dhanam had to leave , though she wanted to speak to Mullai and Meena too .

Meena : Shabba.....

Placing the milk Sombu on sink ... taking the tea , sipping it ..... turned to Mullai with a teasing eye ....

Meena : ......Shabba ....Romba tired ah erukunga .....thoongavae ella night fulla .....valikuthu vera .....

She didn't know why ,but wanted to irritate Mullai.
She had her own set of reasons .
If she hadn't ran away from her home , she wudnt have married Jeeva. 
Again , Jeeva refusing their first lovemake last night , due to his guilty consiousness , made her angry over Mullai .

M : ....Tbh , she was crstal clear now that she held nothing against the couple ....

Whatever she held , even when she started off with Kathir , wasn't there now .

There wasn't any point ....after everything that happened in the morning .

She turned concerned to Meena ...

M : Enanga ? Enkitaya .....soniya ? Ennathu ....

Meena : ..... Sariyana kalluli mangiya erupa pola ?
Nethu vaalkaiyae poxhunu , nammala paathu , poramailla ,aluthukitu ninna!!

Epo , evlo aluthama , namma kitayae kekra ?

Unnaiya ? Evala verupethiyae aaganumae .....evala la than , Jeeva nethu morandu podichhaan  .

Evalum , avan thambiyum santhoshama erunthathan ....matgathellaam na ?

Meena :
Athu .....athu.....ore tired nga . Kalaila than thoongavae vittan Jeeva... Athan ...pain vera . Hmmmm.....thala valikuthu ......hh...mma...

She twisted herself, to irritate M .

Mullai s face showed a sign of thoughfullness.

Turning to Meena ,

M : oh ....apadingala .....purithunga ...erunga varen ....

Meena :
...yenna , apadiyaanu ...romba causual ketukitu pora ?
Namma sonnathu puriyuthunu vera solra ? Kaduppana maathriyum therilayae ?

By this time , Mullai returned with a cover .

She handed it over to Meena .

M : Inthaanga. ......

Meena : Yenn...yenathu Ethu ?

Mu : Ellainga , epo soningala ? Valikuthu , tired ah eruku .....kaayam vera nu. 

Athuku than ...

Enakum epdi than erunthuchu.  Awuga than kuduthaaga , kaalailla .....potukonga . Konjam sari aidumnga   .

So innocent , kind-hearted and honest as always ,Mullai handed it over to know , unknowing , that she had blurted out their secret !!!

She didn't hold any thing against them now .

She didn't even realise it !!!

She left with a small smile .

On the other hand ..Meena !!

Meena :😳😳😳😳😳

Ennathu ? 😳

"Enakum apdi than erunthucha " vaaya ? 😳

Apadina ? 😳

Eva enna solla vaaara ...😳

Awuga kuduthaagala ??? 😭😭

Apo ?

Apo ??

Apo ??????

Evaa ...eva ...... Awuga kuduthaaga !!

Rendu perum ellathaiyum midichuruchungala ?

Nejamavae va !!!

She connected dots .... Mullai had just come out of the room and she saw Kathir too going to bathe just now .

Adapaavigala ....

She screamed her heart out. ...

Nalla venum Unaku !!

Pocha !!

Rendu varushama love panni , suwar yeri kuthichu , kadasi nerathulla vanthu kalyaanam paanikitava naanu .....Nethu , koratta vitu thoongiruken ....

Awasarathulla kalyaanam pannikitava , amsama first night kondaditta !!!

Dei Jeeeevaaaaaaaaaaaaa .........Unnaiya !!!

TBC ......
