Hi, everyone!! I am back with another update. Thank you very much for your response on last chapter!!

CHAPTER 23

Kathir’s Room

Kathir is lying on the bed trying to sleep. He sees Kannan who is sleeping peacefully beside him by placing his legs on Kathir.

Kathir: Ivanaale mattum eppadi mudiyitho?? Varum pothu nalla thoonggittu vanthan. Ippovum nalla thoongguran. (Suddenly he feels something is not good. He rubs his chest and gets up from his lying positive.) Enna aachu?? Enakku yen oru mathiriya irukku?? Mullai?? (He removes Kannan’s legs from him and leaves from the room.)

Kathir sees Vetri coming with a stethoscope and sphygmomanometer towards Mullai’s room. He feels worried and rush towards him. Vetri is surprised to see him at that time.

Vetri: Kathir??

Kathir: Enna aachu?? Yen ithellam kondu varingge??

Vetri: Mullai’ku konjom udambu sari illei. Athan. (Kathir becomes worried.)

Kathir: Enna aachu Mullai’ku??

Vetri: Patharathingge. Vaangge. (They enter inside the room and sees Mullai is sitting weakly on the bed while Akila is pressing Mullai’s head. Malar and Arjun are cleaning the floor while Pugazh is preparing some drinks for Mullai. Vetri goes and checks Mullai.) Relax'ah iru, Mullai. Rombe stress pannikkathe.

Mullai: Mudiyale, aththan. Thalai rombe valikkuthu. Vomit vanthukitte irukku. (Pugazh comes bringing a glass of drinks.)

Pugazh: Mullai, inthe lemon juice kudi. Ellam sariya poidum. (He is about to feed her but Mullai vomits again. Pugazh keeps the glass and cups his hands in front of her making her to vomit on them. Mullai gives an apologetic look to him.)

Mullai: Sorry, aththan.

Pugazh: Onnum illei. Vomit thane?? Edu!! (Arjun gets a bowl and holds it in front of her while Puzazh leaves to the washroom. Mullai vomits inside the bowl.)

Malar: Papa, vaa poyi clean pannittu dress change panniralam. (Mullai nods and stands from the bed weakly. She couldn’t walk properly and stumbles. Kathir holds her. She doesn’t realise and leans on him. Kathir holds her carefully and takes her to the washroom. Pugazh comes out after washing his hands.)

Akila: (towards Kathir.) Thanks. (Kathir nods. Akila closes the door. Kathir goes towards ArVP.)

Kathir: Enna aachu Mullai’ku?? Mothe nalla thane irunthaghe.

Arjun: Patharathingge, Kathir. Mullai’ku long journey oththukkathu. Athan inthe mathiri.

Kathir: Appo Kunnakudi’ku vanthappo’vum appadithana??

Pugazh: Aama. Aana athu pore valiyileye, vomit panne aarambichutta.

Kathir: Paavam. Rombe kashta paduraghe. (ArVP smile at each other.)

Vetri: Kavalai padathingge. Ava kaalayile sariya aayiduva. Motion sickness avvalavothan. Sari. Neengge thoonggaleya??

Kathir: Illei. Thoonggalam’nu irunthappo thidir’nu oru mathiri irunthuchi. (He rubs his chest.) Oru mathiri pathattama irunthuchi. Mullai’ku etho aane mathiri oru unarvu. (He said without realising what he is telling.) Athan avale parthuttu polam’nu vanthen. Partha neenggalum ava room’ku pathattama vanthu kittu irunthighe. Athan bayanthutten.

Pugazh: Long travel’naale Mullai’ku ippadithan aagum. Onnum kavalai padathingge. Thoonggi elunthana sari aayiduva. Ippo ungge room’ku poyi thoonggungge. Tired’ah iruppingge.

Kathir: Avughale konjom parthuttu poiduren. (The bathroom door is opened. MA come out bringing Mullai who is still weak. Arjun goes and lifts Mullai in his arms and makes her to sit on the bed. Pugazh brings the glass of lemon juice. He is about to feed Mullai when he sees Kathir who is still looking worried about Mullai. He gives the glass to Kathir and signals him to give to Mullai. Kathir takes the glass from him and sits beside Mullai. MA move aside giving him space to sit. Mullai looks at him weakly.)

Mullai: Neenggalum inggethan irukkiyala?? (Kathir nods.)

Kathir: Ithe kudi. Sariya poidum. (Mullai nods. He makes her to drink the juice. She coughs. Kathir pats her back.) Parthu parthu!! (ArVMPA are overwhelmed seeing Kathir’s concern towards Mullai.)

Mullai: Pothum’ngge.

Kathir: Sari. Paduthukko. (Mullai nods and lies on the bed. She falls asleep after a while.)

Akila: Neenggellam room’ku kilambungge. Naanum Malar’um inggeye paduthukurom.

Pugazh: Sari. Ethuva irunthalum call pannu. Anytime. (Akila nods.)

Vetri: Innum vomit panninana sollungge. Vendumna appo injection podurom. (MA agree.) Sari, vaangge polam. (ArVP turn to leave but they see Kathir is still standing there looking at Mullai.)

Arjun: Kathir, avalukku sariya aayidum. Kavalai padathingge. Poi thoonggalam vaangge. (They take Kathir from there. Kathir continuously looking at Mullai till he left the room. MA smile at each other. They too sleep beside Mullai.)

Next Morning

Mullai’s Room

Akila wakes up from her sleep and looks at MMul who are still sleeping. She takes her hand which was hugging Mullai and gets down from the bed. She steps on something and she hears Arjun's scream. She stumbles and falls on Pugazh who is sleeping beside Arjun. Pugazh too screams. Both of their scream make MMul and Vetri to wake up as well.

Arjun: (holding his feet in pain) Aiyo!! En kaalu!! Ippadiya mithippe??

Pugazh: Parthu vare maatiya??

Akila: (still lying on his chest) Neengge ingge paduthurippingge’nu enakku eppadi teriyum?? Nethu room’ku thane poningge. Ingge enna room’ka panjam, ellam kuttyma room’le vanthu paduthurikkingge??

Arjun: Athukku nee mothe elunthirikkanum. Appothan un purushanaale elunthirukke mudiyum. (Akila realised she is lying on his chest.)

Mullai: Athukku mothe aththan avughe kaiye edukkanum. Ippadi pudichikkuttu iruntha eppadi elunthiruppaghe?? (Pugazh looks at his hands which are holding Akila’s waist. He removes his hands immediately. Others laugh seeing them. Akila tries to get up but she falls again on him. All laugh again while she feels embarrassed. Pugazh too laughs. She slaps his chest.)

Akila: Neengge konjom help pannunggalen.

Pugazh: Pannalam aana maaten. Ithu nalla irukku.

Arjun: Irukkum, da irukkum. Ungge romance’lam appurom pannungge. (He gets up and lifts Akila from Pugazh. VP too get up from their places.)

Vetri: Mullai, ippo eppadi irukku??

Murugan: Rendu perum nalla thoonggininggala??

Kannan: Naan nalla thoongginen, mama. (Murugan smiles and looks at Kathir who is looking at the stairs.)

Murugan: Angge enna paakuringge, thambi??

Kathir: Athu mathavaghalam engga’nu paarkuren. (ArVP come from the kitchen bringing the breakfast.)

Arjun: Vanthuttom!! Breakfast ready. (Kathir looks at them. He wants to ask about Mullai but stops himself when he realised MuPar are here.)

Kannan: Good morning, mama and brothers!! Annis engga??

Vetri: Ungge annis innum konje nerathule vanthuruvangge. (MAMul come there. Kathir smiles in relief seeing Mullai who is looking fine.)

Arjun: Enna aachu, Kanna?? 

Kannan: Bayama irukku, mama. Building’eh ivvalavo perusa irukku.

Arjun: Unnaye inthe building’ku velai seiya sollale. Ithe marupadiyum kattavum sollale. Pesame vaa.

(They go to the lobby and see a girl speaking on the phone with her back facing ArKan. She ends the call and searches for something without realising ArKan are there.) Good morning, madam.

Evening at Mullai’s House

VM and PA just back from their work. MuPar are sitting at the living area. ArKan too return after fetching JMK from the ayurvedic centre.

Mullai: Amma, Durgai kovil kungumam.

Parvathy: Neeye poojai araiyile vai, ma. MA ippothan vanthangge. (Mullai nods and goes to the altar which is beside the living room. Kathir just sees her going there.)

Pugazh: Kathir kannu Mullai’ye vittu nagarathu pole.

Vetri: Avarode gaze anggeye fix aayirum. Avarode kaale paaren. Angge porathukku thudikuthu. (They see Kathir’s leg is shaking while his eyes are continuously looking at her. VP chuckle silently and have a high five making others confused.) Sari, naan poyi kulichittu varen. (He leaves from there followed by Malar. PA, JM and ArKan too leave to their rooms.) 

Kathir is about to leave when he sees Mullai is struggling to open the chimizh. He just admires seeing her. Mullai sighs and about to keep it down when she sees Kathir is looking at her. He asked her through his eyes what happened. She shows the chimizh and answered through her eyes that she couldn’t open it. He goes towards her and kneels down beside her.

Kathir: Athukkuthan nalla saapidanum’nu solrathu. Eppothum oru chappathi, oru idli saapta, balam engga irukkum?? (Mullai glares at him.) Ingge kudu. Naan eppadi thirakkuren mattum paaru. (Mullai glares and gives the chimizh towards him. He tries to open but he also cannot open. He tries to open again but still he couldn't open it. He looks at Mullai who chuckles silently covering her mouth.) (Mind voice: Maanam poguthe'da, Kathiru.)

Mullai: Enna dhaadikarare?? Enneye sonnighe, ippo neengge saaptathulam engge pochi?? Ungge dhaadi kulle olichi vechirukkighala??

Kathir: (Mind voice: Asinggapaduthuraale!! Dei, Kathiru!! Irukkire maanam porathu kullare eppadiyavathu ithe thiranthiru.) Ippo paaru!! (He uses his full force and opens it. The cover gets opened but the vermilion spill over Mullai’s face. Mullai closes her eyes when some of the powder went inside her eyes.) Aiyoyo!! Sorry!! (He keeps the chimizh on the altar.) Kannule patturucha??

Mullai: Aama'ngge. (She is about to rub her eyes.)

Kathir: Hey, kanne theikathe!! Iru varen!! (He goes near Mullai and blows both of her eyes. He repeats his act for few times till she feels better.) Ippo paravaleya??

Mullai: (nods) Hmm. Thanks.

Kathir: Mugam thodaichikko. Kungumam pattirukku. (Mullai wipes her face with her hand.)

Mullai: Pocha’ngge??

Kathir: Nethiyile innum irukku. (Mullai wipes her forehead.) Angge illei. Iru. (He tries to erase the vermilion on her forehead but it becomes more. He realised the vermilion has spilled on his hand too.) En kaiyile ottirukku. Rombe patturuchi.

Mullai: Paravale naan wash pannikiren. (She walks towards the living room to go to washroom. MuPar are shocked to see her face having the kungumam. Kathir too comes there. Kannan just came after taking his shower is surprised to see their state.)

Kannan: Enna rendu perum holi vilayadinighala?? (Kathir glares at him.)

Parvathy: Enna aachu, Mullai??

Mullai: Anthe chimizh rombe tight’ah irunthuchi. Athan thirakkara appo mele kottiruchi.

Murugan: Parthu thiranthirukkalame, ma. (JM too come there followed by ArVMPA.)

Kathir: Illei, athe naanthan thiranthen.

Jeeva: Parthu thiranthirakkalame da, Kathiru. (MA and Meena notice something and look at each other.)

Meena: Vidu, Jeeva. Kungumam mele patta rombe nallathu’nu solluvangge. Athuvum Durgai kovil kungumam. Rombe powerful. Paarungge inimel nallathuthan nadakkum.

Akila: Kungumam engge irukkanumo, correct’ah irukku. Mullai’ode vaagude paarungge. (VP look at Mullai’s hair partition which is filled with the red vermilion.)

VP: Oh!!

Mullai: Naan poyi wash pannittu vanthudren.

Malar: Vendam, papa. Athan nallathu’nu solranggale. Ethukku udane wash pannanum?? Iru naan thodaichi viduren. (She wipes the stain on Mullai’s face and adjusts her hair covering the one which is on her hair partition, so that it won’t be visible.) Sariya pochi. Ithukku poyi wash pannanum’nu sollikittu. (Mullai smiles.)

Kathir: Naan ippo vanthudren. (He leaves to his room. Mullai is about to say something when she hears Arjun's voice.)

Arjun: Hey, Kannama!! Ethukku anggeye nikkire?? Vaa ulle!! (She enters with a girl and a guy.)

Kannama: Ithuthan en thanggachi, Anjali. Ivaru Akhilan, ivale kattikke poravaru. (ArVPJKan and Akhilan have a hand shake.) Anjali, naan sonnen’le ennode MD, Arjun sir. (She looks at Anjali but Anjali’s eyes are looking at somewhere else in excitement. Kannama shakes her shoulder. Anjali looks at her.)

Anjali: Enna, ka??

Kannama: Ithu Arjun sir.

Anjali: Oh!! Sorry. Vanakkam, sir.

Arjun: Vanakkam, ma. Vaangge, vanthu ukkarungge.

Anjali: (excitingly) Naan Mullai’ye paakanum. (All are amazed seeing her excitement to see Mullai. She just walks towards Mullai without bothering about others.)

Akhilan: Hey, Anjali!! (Anjali doesn't listen. He and Kannama look at others apologetically.)

Kannama: Sorry. Thappa eduthukkathingge. Ava ippadithan.

Parvathy: Paravale, ma. Neengge ukkarungge. (Kannama and Akhilan take their seats.)

Murugan: Eppadi irukke, ma??

Anjali: Enggalukku neenggethan pannanum. (Mullai is surprised to know this girl has postponed her engagement just because she wants her to be the event planner. Anjali holds her hand.) Please’ngge. Marupadiyum mudiyathu’nu sollirathingge. Neengge eppo solringgalo, appo naangge engga engagement, kalyanathukku dates fix pannidrom. (Looks at Akhilan.) Enna Akhil?? (Akhilan walks towards them.)

Akhilan: Hi, bro. Akhilan. (He forwards his hand towards Kathir which Kathir accepts.)
