Hi, everyone. Thank you very much for your support for the previous chapter through your votes and comments. Do continue to support me like this.

Finally, our Kannan got his pair in PS. Actually, I planned to make Zoya's sister, Noor as his pair in this FF but I didn't expect he will get a Muslim girl as his pair in the show too. Let's see how his love story going to progress. Kannan'ku kalyanam kude nadanthurom pole, ana namme KM'ku first night mattum nadakkathu.

CHAPTER 20

Mullai's House

MuPar are sitting at the living room.

Parvathy: Naame Mullai'ye pathi Lakshmi anni kudumbathukitte sollittom. Avungge innum Kathir'ku Mullai'ye kalyanam katti vekke ninaippanggala?? Enakku ennemo avungga sammathikke maatangge'nu thonuthu.

Eppadi anthe thambiye Mullai'ku katti kuduppangge?? Appurom Mullai, ava Karthik'eh evvalavo virumbuna nambalukku theriyum. Ava manasule vere yaaraleyum avvalavo seekirama idam pudikke mudiyathu. Appurom eppadi ava Kathir'eh kalyanam pannuva?? (The main door is opened and they see Mullai walking inside smiling to herself.) Iva enna sonthama sirichikitte vara??

Murugan: Ammadi Mullai. (Mullai comes out from her thought and looks at MuPar.) Ennama?? Etho yosanaile irukkire mathiri irukke??

Mullai: Anthe dhaadikarare pathi yosichikittu irukken. (MuPar look at each other.)

Murugan: Kathir thambi pathi ennama yosichikittu irukke??

Avughe rombe nallavaghe, ma. Rombe akkaraiya irukkaghe. (MuPar are surprised to see her complimenting a guy. Besides Arjun and VP, the only guy she has complimented was Karthik only.  Now, after three years she is complimenting another guy. They know it’s not easy for a guy to impress Mullai easily. If Mullai is impressed, that means something about him has won her heart. MuPar smile at each other. ArVMPA come back that time and see Mullai is smiling to herself. Arjun raises his eyebrows at MuPar asking why.)

Parvathy: (whispers) Kathir’eh parthuttu vanthathu’lernthu ippadithan irukka.

Arjun: Oho!! Kathai ippadi pogutha?? (He clears his throat. Mullai looks at him.) Eppoda vanthe??

Mullai: Ippothan konje nerathukku munnadi.

Vetri: Nallatha pochi. Neeyum vanthutte. Aththai, mama, naame innum rendu naalile Chennai’kku kilamburom.

Mullai: Aama, ka. Neengga sariyathan solriye. Chennai’ku pogalam, ka. (She agrees even though she doesn’t feel to leave Kunnakudi now. She doesn’t know why she is feeling like this.) Naan room’ku poren. (She leaves from there. ArVMPA look at her going upstairs till they hear her room door closed.)

Parvathy: Yen ippo thidir’nu Chennai’ku poganum’nu solringge??

Arjun: Mullai’ode reaction eppadi irukku’nu paakurathukku. (Parvathy stares at him.) Muraikkathingge, ma. Kathir’eh parthuttu vanthathu’lernthu eppadi iruntha?? Ethavathu sonnala??

Parvathy: Eppadi pidipparu?? Naamethan Chennai’kku poge porome. Inimel avungge eppadi santhippangge??

Arjun: Amma, naangge appadi ellam vitturuvoma?? Athukka ivvalavo kashta padurom??

Murugan: Ennada solre?? (ArVMPA give a mischievous smile at MuPar.)

Next Day

Pandian Stores

PS brothers are working there when ArVMPA come there.

Akila: Ithuthan Pandian Stores ah?? Rombe azhaga irukku. (JeeMooKa smile seeing them.)

Moorthy: Ade, vaangge vaangge. (towards MA) Neengge rendu perum ippothan muthal thadavai varighe pole. (MA nod their heads.) Enna vendumo poi edungge, pa.

Arjun: Naangge ethuvum vaangge varale. Ungga kitte oru vishayam sollalam’nu vanthom. (He sees Kathir’s eyes are searching for someone.) Yaare theduringge, Kathir??

Kathir: Illei, yaarayum thedale. Summa paarthen. (Jeeva controls his laugh.)

Kannan: Adade!! Mama, annis, brothers'lam inggethan irukkiyala?? Mullai anni varale??

Akila: Ava veetule irukka. Naangge mattumthan vanthom.

Kathir: Itho ippo vanthu kuduthudren, annachi. (He ends the call.) Anne, naan poi delivery pannittu vanthudren. (Moorthy nods. Kathir leaves from there bringing the goods.)

At the Cinema Theatre

ArMul and VM reached there first while PA went to drop MuPar at PS house.

Mullai: Enna padam, na??

Arjun: 'Oh, My Kadavule!!' Ippo anthe padamthan ingge oduthu. (Mullai nods. She feels something and look at the entrance. PA come there with JM and KaKan. Mullai smiles at Kathir which he reciprocates.)

Jeeva: Konjom irungge. Naan poyi ticket eduthuttu vanthudren. (He leaves from there taking Kannan with him.)

Pugazh: Vaangge namme poyi snacks vaanggalam. (They go to the snacks shop and buy some snacks.)

All of them enter inside the theatre. Arjun asked Mullai to go to the seat first. He is about to follow her when he remembers something.

Arjun: Ade water bottle vaangge maranthutten. Naan vaanggittu vanthudren. Kathir neengge poyi ukkarungge.

Kathir: Paravale naan vaanggittu varen. Neengge poi ukkarungge.

Arjun: Ade naan vaanggittu varen. Neengge poyi ukkarungge. Padam start panne porangge. Naan ippo vanthudren. (He leaves before Kathir says something. Kathir just shakes his head and goes to his seat which is beside Mullai. JM, VM, PA and Kannan followed after him. Arjun comes after buying the water bottle and settled himself beside Kannan.)

Kannan: Annana irunthukittu mama velei paakurathukku rombe kashtama irukku'le, mama??

Arjun: Aama, Kanna. Ennalam panne vendiyathu irukku paaren. Water bottle vechikitte poyi innonu vaangge vendiyatha pochi. (Kannan laughs. The movie starts. All of them watch silently. They laugh whenever there is a comedy scene. Meena passed popcorn to Kathir.)

Meena: Neenggalum Mullai'yum saapidungge. (Kathir takes it from her and places it in between their seats.)

Kathir: Mullai. (She looks at him.) Popcorn.

Mullai: (smiles) Thanks. (They continue watching the movie while having the popcorn. They put their hands simultaneously to take the popcorn making their hands to touch each other. They look at each other and about to take their hands when they heard the hero and heroine are shouting at each other. They didn't take their hands and continue to watch the movie which is getting interesting. They only realised when the interval started. They take their hands from the popcorn and look away feeling embarrassed. PJ go to buy some extra snacks as the snacks which they are having now are almost finish. Pugazh knows how foodie Akila is while Jeeva knows how foodie are Meena and Kannan. KM sit silently when Kathir decides to break the silence.)

Kathir: Naalaikku Chennai’kku kilamburingge pole.

Mullai: Amma’ngge. Thidirnu kilambanum’nu sollittaghe.

Kathir: Ellarum porighala?? (Mullai nods. Kathir face becomes dull.) Thirumba eppo varuvighe??

Mullai: Teriyale.

Kathir: Varuviya?? (He looks at her hopefully.)

Mullai: Varanuma??  (Both of them look at each other when the interval finished and the movie continues. They come out from their trance and continue watching the movie.)

PS House

The youngsters returned after watching the movie. Kannan tells them about the movie.

Kannan: Anthe friend mele love varaleya, aana life restart panninathukku appurom love vanthucha?? Athu yen munnadiye feel pannale??

Kathir: Dei, unakku anthe kathai puriyale ninaikkiren. Avaru anthe vazhkai'ku thirumbavum pona appo, avarukku mattumthan theriyum athu avarode wife'nu. Mathavaghalukku teriyathu. Thannode manavi'ye innoruthanukku sontham aage poraghe'nu terinjathukku appurom thaan avarale unare mudinjathu. (JM, DM and Kannan look at him in surprise.)

Mullai: Aama, Kanna. Anthe kadavul marupadiyum avughalukku chance kuduthathu kude avarode wife'eh avaru virumburathe realise panne vekkethan.

Arjun: Kadavul chumma'lam chance thare maataru, Kanna. Kudukkure chance'eh nalla padiya payan paduthikkanum. Namakku ethu best’nu kadavulukkuthaan theriyum. Enna, Mullai??

Mullai: (smiles) Aama, na.

Kathir: Jeeva anna’num Meena anni’yum Chennaikku poraghala??

Jeeva: Naangge mattum illei, amma’vum thaan.

Moorthy: Amma’vukku treatment paakurathukku Chennai’le ayurveda centre irukka. Athan alaichittu poraghe. Meena othasaiya irukkalam’nu poguthu. Kude Jeeva’ve anuppi vekkiren.

JM are getting ready while Dhanam is helping Lakshmi to get ready. Mullai and family come after a while.

Jeeva: Vaangge!! Arjun engge??

Arjun: Car ippo kidaikkatha. Innum 3-4 naal aaguma.

Meena: Athukku Enna. Naanum Jeeva’vum vendum'na bus’le varom. (Janardhan enters with Kalai and heard her. Kannan hides behind Meena. ArMul, VM and PA are confused with his behaviour.)

Jana: Ennathu bus’le poringgala?? Athuvum yen ponne bus’le anuppanuma?? Athukkuthan appove oru car’eh vaanggi tharen’nu sonnen. Keta thane?? (MuPar, VM, PA and ArMul look at each other.)

Arjun: Athan Mullai enkude irukken solraale?? Appurom enna?? Neenggellam poitu vaangge. (MuPar and co agree. Mullai looks at Kathir who smiles at her. She smiles back raising her eyebrows at him. He just nods his head.)

Meena: Parthukittuthanda irukken. Rendu perum oru level'ah thaan poikittu irukkangge. (Their conversation interrupts by Janardhan's voice.)

Arjun: Veetukku poyi sernthuttone text pannungge. (VP nod. JM too bid bye towards their family and they leave from there. Jana and Kalai too leave to their home. Arjun winks at Kannan which he nods understanding him.)

Arjun: Sari, sir. Naanggalum veetukku kilamburom.

Kannan: Ennathu?? Anthe periya veetukka??

Dhanam: Nee yen'da ippadi patharure??

Dhanam: Inneram avughellam Chennai’kku poyiruppaghala??

JM Room

Kathir: Ithuthan Jeeva anne room. Paduthukke. Vere ethavathu venduma?? Thanni ethavathu??

Mullai: Illei, vendam.

Kathir: Ethavathu vendumna enneye koopidu. En room anggethan irukku. (Pointing towards his room.) Nee paduthukko. (He leaves from there. Mullai lies on the bed and tries to sleep but she couldn’t sleep. She gets up and leaves from the room.)

Kathir fills his 'sombu' with water at the kitchen and walks to his room when he collides with Mullai.

Kathir: Hey, nee innum thoonggalaya??

Mullai: Neengge enneye vittuttu poyi 5 nimisham kude aagala. Athukkullare thoonggalaya’nu kekkurighe.

Kathir: Mottai maadi’kku pogalama??

Mullai: (excitingly) Haaan!! Polam’ngge. (Kathir takes Mullai to the terrace. She hugs herself feeling the chill as it is already late night. She goes to the corner and admires the moon.) Anthe nila azhaga irukku.

Kathir: Nila azhagathaane irukkum.

Mullai: (smiles) Vattama tharpoosani mathiriye irukku. (Kathir looks at her weirdly.)

Kathir: Tharpoosaniya?? (He looks at the moon and looks back at her who is admiring the moon. He realised her face is glowing more under the moonlight. Few strands of her hair fall on her face disturbing his view. He wants to remove those hair but something stops him from doing it. Mullai realised his gaze on her and looks at him.)

Mullai: Yen appadi paakurighe??

Kathir: Illei. Nee nilave rasichi paakure. Athe mathiri naanum nilave rasichi paakuren.

Mullai: Athukku neengge angge paakanum. Nila angge irukku.

Mullai: Unggale onnu kekkalama??
