Hi, everyone!! I am back with the update. Thanks for your votes and comments for last chapter.

CHAPTER 31

KM were still standing in their hugging position.

Mullai: Unggale appadi pesittenu kaalailernthu enakku manase sari illei.

Kathir: Athe vidu. Unakku anthe photo pudichirukka??

Mullai: (smiles) Pudichirukku. (Kathir smiled proudly.) Sari, unggalukku eppadi inthe mathiri pannanum'nu thonuchi?? 

Kathir: Sonna thappa ninaikke maatiye??

Mullai: Maaten. Sollungge.

Kathir: Sivanya thaan inthe idea kudutha. (She broke the hug and looked at him in surprise.)

Mullai: Sivanya va?? (Kathir nodded.) Avale engga parthighe?? (Kathir narrated his meeting with Sivanya.)

Kathir: Appo avathan inthe idea kudutha.

Mullai: Ava sariyana KD'ngge.

Kathir: Yen appadi sollure??

Mullai: Naan ava kitte erkanave vishayathai sollitten. Terinje ungge kitte potu vaanggirukka. Avale….

Mullai: Marupadiyum sorry'ngge. Inimel naan anthe mathiri ungge kitte pese maaten. (Kathir smiled and placed his hand on her's.)

Kathir: Nee pesinalum naan thappa eduthukke maaten. (Mullai just smiled looking into his eyes. They joined their family after a while. ArKan, VM, PA and JM felt relieved seeing them together.)

Night

Kathir's Room

Kathir woke up when Kannan placed his leg on him.

Kathir: Ivan vere. Naalailernthu idaiyile rendu thalaianai vechithan thoongganum. (He pushed Kannan's leg but again Kannan put his leg on Kathir. Suddenly, he laughed startling Kathir. Kathir slapped his head stopping him from laughing and he slept silently. Kathir couldn't sleep anymore. He got up to drink water and saw the jug was empty. So he thought to go to the kitchen.)

Kathir was on the way back to his room from the kitchen when he heard a voice coming from the  poolside. He wondered who was there at this time and walked towards there. He saw Vinay on call with someone. Vinay saw Kathir and waved his hand at him. He ended his call after a while.

Vinay: Enna, brother, thoonggalaya??

Kathir: Thanni kudikke vanthen. Neengge yen innum thoonggale??

Vinay: Timing adapt panne mudiyale.

Kathir: Oh!! Ippo angge pagal'le?? (Vinay nodded.) Kashtamthan. (Vinay gestured him to sit. Both of them sat on the bench there.)

Vinay: Starting'le appadithan irukkum, brother. 2-3 days'le palagirum. Ippothan amma kitte pesinen. Yenda innum thoonggale'nu thittinangge. (Kathir smiled.) Ungge amma eppadi irukkangge?? Treatment'ku vanthangge'nu Arjun mama sonnare.

Kathir: Treatment nadanthukittu irukku. Kudiye sikirathule gunam aayiruvaghe.

Vinay: Unggalte onnu kekkanume. Kekkalama??

Kathir: Kelungge??

Vinay: Mullai anni unggale thittinathu, unggalukku varuthama illeya??

Kathir: Naan yen varutha padanum?? Enmele thane thappu. Paavam avughethan enneye thittinathukku rombe varutha pattaghe.

Kathir: Anthe frame bed'ku munnadi illeye. Side'le thane irukku. Mullai kanmulichi elunthirukkirappo Karthik mugathai partha avughe santhosha paduvaghale. Avughe eppothum santhoshama irukkanum. Athukkaga enna vendum naalum pannalam.

Vinay: Athu yen appadi?? Avungge santhosham mele unggalukku yen akkarai?? (Kathir didn't know how to answer him. Even he didn't know why Mullai's happiness means a lot for him.) 

Kathir: Onnu kekkanum'nu sollittu, varusaiya kelvi kekkurighe. (Vinay smiled rubbing his nape.) Avughe mele ellathukkumthan akkarai irukku. Yen unggalukkum irukku thane??

Vinay: Enna brother, kelvi enakke thiruppuringgala?? Sari athe vidungge. Anthe frame idea eppadi unggalukku thonuchi??

Vinay: Sivanya?? Inthe peru enggeyo ketirukkene. (He tried to recall.)

Kathir: Innaikki Malar'eh pakkurathukku kude cafe'ku pona. Neengge angge thane irunthighe??

Vinay: Kaile paalkova box vechirunthala??

Kathir: Neenggalum anthe ponne parthighala?? Semma ponnu'le?? Anthe mathiri oru ponnu iruntha anthe idame kalai kattum. Ethavathu solli sirikke vechiruva. Avalum vilunthu vilunthu sirippa. (Vinay recalled his meeting with her and jerked a bit.) Enna aachu??

Vinay: Onnum illei. (They continued to chat for some time about random things and laughed. Vinay looked at the time.) Brother, rombe late aachu. Arjun mama'vum Kannan'um nammale thedi vanthure porangge.)

Kathir: Arjun vendum'na thedi varuvaru. Aana Kannan pralayame vanthalum iluthu pothittu thoongguvan. (Vinay chuckled and they left the place.)

Kathir's Room

Kathir entered the room and saw Kannan is not there.

Kathir: Engga poitan ivan?? Bathroom'ku poyiruppano?? (Vinay came there.)

Vinay: Brother enkude vaangge. (Kathir followed Vinay to his room. There he saw Kannan is sleeping by hugging Arjun.)

Kathir: Ingge vanthu thoonggurana?? Irungge avane eluppuren.

Vinay: Paravale, brother. Thoonggattum. (He took his mobile and captured ArKan's sleeping position.) Cute'ah irukku.

Kathir: Vaangge, innaikki enkude paduthukkungge. (Vinay agreed and they left from the room.)

Next Morning

Everyone was having their breakfast at dining table.

Akila: Pattu kutty, nee kete fabric vanthuruchi. Sivanya kitte solli vanthu eduthukke sollu. (Vinay coughed hearing Sivanya's name.)

Arjun: Paarthu, Vinay. (He patted his back and gave him a glass of water.) Kudingge. (Vinay drank the water.) Ippo ok va??

Vinay: Ok, mama. (Malar laughed understanding the reason for him to get choked.)

Vetri: Yen Malar sirikkire??

Malar: Onnum illei'ngge. Vinay'ode fan'eh nenechen, sirikkiren.

Akila: Fan'ah?? Athu yaaru??

Malar: Namma Sivanya thaan!!

Mullai: Sivanya va?? Ava sollave illei!!

Vinay: Anni!! Anthe ponnu nethu enneye total damage pannitta.

Pugazh: Enna pannina?? (Vinay signalled Malar to not to say anything.)

Malar: Inthe LIC Building'eh enggernthu pudichingge'nu ketuta. (Kannan laughed hearing this.)

Kannan: Anthe ponnu sariyathan sollirukku. (Kathir glared at him.)

Murugan: Neengge thappa nenechikkathingge, mappillai. Anthe ponnu appadithan vegulithanama ethavathu pesum.

Parvathy: Aarambathule oru mathiri thaan irukkum. Poge poge unggaluke palagirum.

Arjun: Appadi oruthi kedecha kandippa kalyanam pannikkiren. Vinay, neengge sollungge unggalukku enna mathiri ponnu vendum??

Vinay: Enakka?? (He thought for a while.) Enakku en family'ku appurom ungge ellarayumthan rombe pudikkum. Enakku vara pore ponnu en parents mathiri sacrifice pannravala irukkanum, mama mathiri humble'ah irukkanum, aththai mathiri innocent'ah irukkanum, unggale mathiri kurumba'vum irukkanum at the same time poruppa'vum irukkanum, VP brothers mathiri matured and understanding'ah irukkanum, Malar anni mathiri loving'ah irukkanum, Akila anni mathiri bold and strong'ah irukkanum, Mullai anni mathiri selfless'ah irukkanum. (All look at him in disbelief.)

Kannan: Mothathule oru ponnu roobathule ivungge ellam irukkanum?? (Vinay nodded confidently.) Kadavul kitte obligation podungge. Puthusa onnu padaipparu. (Others chuckled silently.)

Meena: Neengge ketathu thani thaniya vendum'na irukkum. Ore ponnu kitte irukkanum'na kashtam.

Vinay: Athellam enakku teriyathu. Appadi oru ponnu iruntha sollungge naan marriage pannikkiren.

Vetri: Hero ethir paakurathu vida, heroine super'ah iruntha, hero yen'da kekke poraaru.

Pugazh: Super, da, Vetri!! (VP had a high five. KM, MuPar and Vinay were looking confused.)

Murugan: Neengge enna pesuringge'nu puriyale.

Akila: Appa, avungge summa etho pesurangge. Neengge saapidungge.

Kathir: Vinay, neengge kadavul kitte vendikkungge, kandippa neengge keta mathiri ponnu kidaikkum.

Vinay: Thanks, brother. (Kathir smiled at him.)

KM were looking at the hall which they need to decorate for AA engagement. Mullai was planning inside her mind how to decorate it.

Kathir: Inthe hall rombe perusa irukku. Ithukku yethe mathiri alanggaram pannanum'le??

Mullai: Aamangge. Enthe kuraiyum illama pannanum.

Sivanya: Ivungge rendu perum kannale enna panrangge?? Ithukku peruthaan eyelock'nu solluvanggalo?? Paarvaiyaale pesurangge. Sari, naame avunggale disturb panne vendam. Vanthe veleye paarpom. (She looked around the hall and wrote something on her notebook. She heard someone coming.) Yaaro varangge. Ivungge ippadi nikkirathu paartha ethavathu kindel pannuvangge. Sorry, akka and anna. Unggale naan ippo distract panni aaganum. (She got an idea.) Achoo!! (KM broke their eyelock and look at Sivanya.)

Mullai: Hey, nee eppo vanthe??

Sivanya: Ippothan vanthen. Thoosi naale enakku achoom vanthuruchi. (A person came and called Mullai. She excused herself and walked towards the person.)

Kathir: Thoosiya?? Nalla suthamathane irukku.

Sivanya: Anna, thoosi sonna nambungge. Neengge paarvaiyaale pesikum pothe naan vanthutten.

Kathir: Ma, nee ninaikkire mathiri'laam illei. Athu summa saatharanama. Mullai pattanathule valarnthe ponnu.

Sivanya: Pattanathule valarnthe ponnu'na ellathayum hug pannuvanggala?? No no no no no!! Athuvum Mullai akka?? No no no no no!! Enna, ne neengge ippadi….. (She thought what to say.)

Kathir: Enna?? Neeyum enneye vaathu'nu solle poriya?? Sollu sollu.

Sivanya: (confused) Vaatha?? Naan yen unggale vaathu'nu sollanum?? Enneyethan vaathu mathiri nadakkuren solluvangge. Neengge nallathane nadakkuringge.

Kathir: Nadakkurathu vechi sollale, ma. Athu naan unakku innoru naal solluren. Mullai varangge. (Mullai came towards them.)

Sivanya: Neengge eppothum santhoshama irukkanum, ka. Athukkaga enna vendum naalum seiyalam. (They broke the hug.)

Mullai: Nee ippadiye iru, Sivanya. Unnode innocence thaan unnode plus. Athu oru godliness unakku. Athu yaarukaagavum ethukkaagavum elanthurathe. (Sivanya nodded.)

Sivanya: Akka, inthe hall decorate panne enna plan vechirukkingge??

Mullai: Athan un annane sollittaghale, pesame vaa. (Towards Kathir.) Vaangge. (They left from the hall.)

Arjun was surprised when he received a call from Vinay where he asked Arjun to take him to the Commissioner Office. Arjun asked for the reason but Vinay said that he will tell later. Arjun left the office after asking Kannama to take over the office for a while. He picked up Vinay who was waiting at the lobby and they left to Commissioner Office. Arjun's thought was broken by a constable.

Constable: Sir, ungge rendu pereyum Commissioner sir vare sonnaru. (ArVin entered the office.)

Com: Vaangge, Mr Arjun. Ukkarungge. (ArVin greeted and took their seats.) Enna sudden'ah vanthurukingge?? Any problem?? Security ethavathu venduma??

Arjun: Sir, ivaru en machan, Vinay. Ivaruthan unggale meet pannanum'nu sonnaru.

Com: Sollungge, Mr Vinay. Enna vishayam??

Vinay: Sir, naan Karthik Rajasekar'ode thambi. 3 years back accident'le iranthu ponarule, anthe Karthik. (Arjun was confused why he talked about Karthik's accident suddenly.) Enakku anthe accident'ode details vendum. Anthe accident panninavanggale kandu pudichanggala?? 3 years aaguthu. Enggalukku enthe oru information'um kidaikkale.

Com: Just a minute. (He  called someone through the landline and asked the person to come to the office. An officer came after a while.)

Officer: (saluted) Sir!!

Com: Karthik Rajasekar'nu 3 years munnadi accident'le iranthuttaru. Ivungge avarode family members. Anthe case'eh deal pannine officer yaaru and mathe details ellam ivunggalukku immediate'ah vendumam. (Towards ArVin) Neengge ivaru kude pongge. He will help you.

Vinay: Anthe paper'le irukku.

Arjun: Sir, ithu ennode number. (He handed over his card to the officer and they left from there. Vinay looked at Arjun who is silent which is not usual him.)

Vinay: Yen mama silent'ah irukkingge??

Arjun: Naan thappu pannitteno'nu thonuthu.

Vinay: Enneye ingge kootitu vanthathukka??

Arjun: Illei, Vinay. Karthik accident'le naangge akkaraiya illame poitomo'nu thonuthu. Adithya anna parthukiraru'nu naanum appadiye irunthutten. Sorry, Vinay.

Accident pannavanggale pudichanggala illeya'nu kude teriyale. If supposed arrest panni punishment kuduthuttanggena, nalla naaku pudunggure mathiri ketutu vitturuven. Aana innum avanai kandu pudikkalena…… (His face turned into anger.) Naan avane kandu pudippen!! En annane konne avanai, en anni'ye ippadi oru nilamai'ku aakina avane, namme ellathode nimmathi'yum santhoshathai pariche avane naan summa vida maaten. (Arjun held his shoulder.)

Arjun: Details kidaikkattum, enna pannalam'nu paakalam. Anthe accident pannavan mattum pudikkama irunthirunthanggana, avane naanum summa vida maaten. (Vinay held his hand and nodded his head. They left from there.)

Mullai was driving while Kathir is sitting beside her and Sivanya at the back seat. Kathir asked Sivanya to sit in front but she refused saying that she is uncomfortable sitting in front. Mullai looked at the mirror and saw Sivanya was wearing a blindfold on her eyes.

Mullai: Nee ethukku blindfold potirukke??

Sivanya: Rombe veyila irukku, ka. Athan. (KM look at each other in disbelief.)

Mullai: Sunglass potukuriya??

Sivanya: Illei illei. Vendam. Enakku ithu pothum. Parlor vanthuttone sollungge. (Mullai just smiled and focussed on her driving.)

Mullai: Unggalukku enthe ice-cream pudikkum??

Kathir: Enakku ice-cream naale pudikkum. Kurippa ethu'nu solle teriyale. Unakku butterscotch thane pudikkum.

Mullai: Aama. Unggalukku eppadi teriyum??

Kathir: Neeyum VP'yum engga kadaikku vanthappo ice-cream vaanguninggale. Appo gavanichen. Appurom oru thadavai melugu vathi yethi vachi saapida oru kadaikku ponome. (Mullai tried to hide her smile by focusing on the road.) Appo kude un aththan'ungge anthe ice-cream thaan unakku sonnangge.

Mullai: Unggalukku nyabagam shakti rombe jaasthi'ngge. Ithellam nyabagam vechirukkighe.

Kathir: Pudiche vishayathai marakke maaten. (Mullai is amazed.) Athuvum unakku pudichathuna, marakkave maaten. (Kathir turned his face from her and watched the view at outside. Mullai was amazed with his statement and about to ask something when Kathir pointed towards somewhere.) Athu Anjali'ode akka thane?? (Mullai followed his gaze and saw Kannama arguing with someone.) Yaaru kudeyo prechanai pole?? Annaikku Akhilan veetukku ponappo, inthe aalu thane prechanai pannittu irunthan?? (Mullai nodded.) Yaar avan??

Mullai: Athu Barathi. Kannama'ode ex-husband. Evvalavo thairiyam avanukku office'ke vanthu sandai poduran?? Annanukku call panni solluren. (They heard the behind door being opened and Sivanya got down from the car.) Iva engga pora?? Hey, Sivanya!! Nillu!! (Sivanya walked quickly towards the fight.) Iva ethukku angge pora!!?? Anthe aalu varthaiye veshama kottum. Iva athellam thaangge maata. (KM got down from the car and rushed behind Sivanya. Before they could stop her, Sivanya pulled Barathi's collar and pushed him making him to fall on the ground. KM are completely shocked with Sivanya's behaviour. Not only KM but it has shocked another two people who just came there.)
