Hi, everyone!! I am back with another update. A million, billion, trillion, zillion sorry for this late update. I couldn't get any ideas how to proceed this story. That's why I kept all of my stories on hold for a long time.

CHAPTER 33

Next Morning

At the temple

Vinay was doing the ritual for Karthik. The guys were sitting nearby him. Malar and Akila were sitting with Mullai who was controlling her tears from falling down. Her heart was aching seeing Karthik's picture. She recalled the accident which occurred three years ago. She started to sob lightly worrying her sisters and parents. Akila caressed her back calming her down. The guys didn't know as they were focusing on the prayers. Kathir turned to see when his heart felt something different.

Jeeva: Ennada??

Kathir: Mullai aluvura, ne. (Jeeva looked at Mullai.)

Jeeva: Palasu nyabagam vanthuruchi pole. Nee vendum'na anthe pulle kitte poyi aaruthala pesittu variya??

Kathir: Naan appurom pesikkiren. Ippothan ava akka'laam pakkathule irukkaghale. Ava alugirathe paake oru mathiri irukku.

Jeeva: Sari. Car'le water bottle irukku. Vaa poitu eduthuttu vanthuralam. Ivughalukku thevei padum. (Kathir agreed and they left the place.)

The ritual finished after a while. Jeeva and Kathir gave the water bottle to Vinay and others. After that, ArVP took Vinay to change his attire while others entered inside the temple. They bumped into Sivanya who seemed in hurry with another girl.

Akila: Hey, Sivanya!! Eppo vanthe!!?? (Sivanya smiled at them.)

Sivanya: Ippothan, ka. Ingge puliyotharai super'ah irukkum. Athan saapide vanthom. (All of them looked at her in disbelief.)

Malar: Enna?? Prasatham saapide vanthiya?? (Sivanya nodded excitingly.)

Meena: Appo nee saami kumbida varaleya??

Sivanya: Athu appurom. Mothale puliyotharai. Mudinjire pothu. Naangge varom. (Sivanya left with the girl.)

Parvathy: Enna inthe ponnu?? Puliyotharai saapidurathukku kovil'ku vanthirukka. (ArVP came with Vinay.)

Arjun: Yaare pathi pesuringge??

Akila: Sivanya've thaan. Prasatham vaangge poyirukka.

Arjun: Sivanya vanthirukkala?? Naan ava kitte oru vishayam sollanum. Avale parthuttu vanthudren.

Jeeva: Arjun, mothe saami kumbiddalam. Ava kitte appurom pesungge.

Kathir: Aama. Yaarum innum saapidale vere.

Vetri: Aama, da. Namme penthouse'ku vere poganum. (Arjun nodded and they entered inside the temple.)

Emerald Park Tower

Everyone reached there. Arjun asked the girls to go first with MuPar while the guys went to take the luggages. The girls left with MuPar.

Arjun: Ellam eduthachu. Vaangge pogalam. (Kannan turned to go.) Kanna, namme lift inthe pakkam irukku.

Kannan: (confused) Namma lift'ah??

Vetri: Aama. Athu private elevator. Namme veetukku mattumthan poghum. (They walked towards the elevator. Arjun pressed the button after all of them entered inside.)

Kannan: Enakku oru doubt!!

Kathir: Aarambichittan.

Kannan: Enna lift paatukku poite irukku??

Jeeva: (teasingly) Brake enggeyo vilunthirucha. Poyi thedi kandupidichi eduthu variya?? (Kannan glared at him and about to say something when he heard Vinay chuckling.)

Kannan: Yeppa!! Oru valiya LIC building sirichittaru.

Kathir: Athu ennemo teriyale, da. Unneye kindel pannina ellathukkume santhoshama irukku. (All laughed.)

Kannan: Irukkum irukkum. Paravale. Oruthavaghale sirikke vekkirathukaaga enna vena pannalam. (They reached the floor which directly facing towards the living room.) Ingge kathavu illeya??

Vetri: Side'le irukku. Pakkathule neighbour irukkangge. Avunggalukku thaniya lift. (All of them walked towards the living room with the luggages where MuPar are sitting on the sofa with Mullai was laying her head on Parvathy's lap.)

Murugan: Malar'um Akila'vum Meena'ku room'eh kaate poyirukkangge.

Arjun: Sari, pa. Naangge luggage ellam room'le vechittu vanthudrom.

Vetri: Mullai, nee innaikku office'ku poge vendam. (Mullai nodded her head.)

Kathir: Pannalam. Enakku enthe prechanaiyum illei. Aana ivan…. (He looked at Kannan.)

Kannan: Naan mama kude thanggikiren. (He hugged Arjun's arm.)

Jeeva: Nalla pasai mathiri ottikittan Arjun kitte. (They took their luggages to their respective rooms.)

Arjun's Room Balcony

Vetri, Pugazh and Jeeva were having coffee with Arjun.

Vetri: Ippeyavathu solluda, ethukku naame ingge vanthirukkom??

Arjun: Anthe veetule konjom velai irukku. Athan ingge vanthom.

Pugazh: Athethan nee nethulernthu sollittu irukkiye. Enna velai'nu sollu??

Arjun: Painting. Anjali enna sonna'nu nyabagam irukku'le??

Pugazh: Dei, appo nijamave rainbow colour'le paint panne poriya?? (Jeeva almost spat out the coffee from his mouth but he controlled it.)

Jeeva: Rainbow colour ah??

Arjun: Naan anthe mathiri solli, enneye kindel panninathuthan micham. Businessman'ku veete pathi enna teriyum'nu enneye kindel pannittangge. (VPJ chuckled.)

Vetri: Sari. Paint ellam vaanggiyacha?? Eppo velai aarambikkalam??

Arjun: Athukku naan aale parthutten, da. Veliyethan painting velai irukku. Living room, bed rooms ellam wallpapers vechiralam'nu oru idea irukku.

Murugan: Po, maa. Athellam onnum vendam.

Parvathy: Hey, podi.

Akila: Enna ellam vendam'nu solringge!!?? Yaaravathu yerunggalen. (Sivanya who just came there jumped and sat on Akila's back circling her arms around Akila's shoulders. Akila became unbalanced with the sudden jump. Luckily, Malar held her.) Neeya?? (Mullai too got up from Parvathy's lap.)

Sivanya: Aama. Neenggethane yaaravuthu yerungge yerungge'nu ketukittu irunthingge. Athan naan vanthu yeritten. Eppadi namme jump?? (She asked adjusting her sitting position.)

Malar: (laughed) Super!! (Akila glared at her.)

Sivanya: Polam right!! (She shook Akila's shoulder.) Seekiram veete suthi kaatungge!! Pongge pongge!! (Mullai laughed seeing them. MuPar smiled to themselves seeing Mullai.)

Mullai: Appadiye irungge rendu perum. Cute ah irukku. Naan oru photo eduthukkuren. (She took her mobile and snapped their pictures.)

Malar: Papa, naanum nikkiren. Enneyum serthu edu. (Mullai agreed and captured Malar with them.) Neeyum vaa, papa. (She saw Kannan coming with Meena.) Kanna!! (Meena and Kannan were surprised seeing Akila piggybacking Sivanya.)

Kannan: Aii!! Uppu mootai yeri vilayadurighala?? (Akila felt annoyed.)

Akila: Yen!!?? Neeyum yere poriya??

Sivanya: Vaangge, na. Naan vendumna inthe side ukkanthukiren. Neengge anthe side ukkanthukkungge.

Akila: Pothum, da. En iduppu valikkuthu.

Kannan: Anni, naanum edukke poren. Ore oru selfie. (Kannan took a selfie with all of them.)

Akila: Yeranggu, di. Valikkuthu. (Sivanya jumped down from Akila. Akila held her hip feeling pain and looked at Sivanya.) En pattu kutty sirichitta. Athukaaga naan unnei summa viduren. (ArVPJ came there after hearing some noise at the living area.)

Arjun: Enna ingge satham?? Enna ingge satham?? (Try to read in Kovai Sarala style in Karagattakaran movie "Enna ingge sandai? Enna ingge sandai?")

Pugazh: Hey, chappamooki. (Mullai chuckled.) Nee yen iduppu pudichikittu nikkire??

Mullai: Athe naan solluren, aththan. Appa inthe petti ulle eduthuttu poge irunthaghe. Appo, Akila akka eduthuttu poren'nu sonnaghe. (She narrated whatever happened and laughed. They too laughed with her.)

Pugazh: Inthe mathiri oru kaatchi ippadi miss pannittome.

Arjun: Sivanya, marupadiyum demo pannuriya??

Sivanya: Haan ok. (She is about to jump on Akila but Akila sat down on the floor.)

Akila: Vendam. Midiyale. Innoru naalu parthukkalam. (They laughed again.)

Jeeva: Paavam. (The girls helped Akila to get up. Pugazh lifted her in his arms and took her to their room. Others look at them in surprise. Mullai winked at Arjun.)

Arjun: Malar, enakku thanni eduthuttu vaa. (Malar nodded and turned to go but she tripped on Mullai's leg and fell on Vetri.)

Vetri: Paarthu, Malar. (He made her to stand properly.)

Arjun: Inthe veetukku vanthale…. (Vetri slapped his mouth while Malar felt embarrassed. Mullai and Arjun winked at each other.)

Malar: Sivanya, nee engge ingge??

Arjun: Naanthan vare sonnen. Oru chinna velai irukku. Nee vaa, Sivanya. Vetri, Jeeva, Kanna, neenggalum kude vaangge. (Sivanya left with four of them.)

Murugan: Kathir thambi'yum Vinay mappilai'yum engge??

Meena: Avungge rendu perum room'le pesittu irukkangge.

Night at MuPar's Room

MuPar were chatting when their room door being knocked. They saw Arjun standing with Kathir.

Arjun: Kathir ennemo pesanuma.

Parvathy: Athukkunu anggeye nippinggala?? Ulle vaangge rendu perum. (Arjun and Kathir entered inside.)

Murugan: Sari, thambi. Neengge enna ninaikkiringgalo athe pannungge. Arjun, avarukku erpadu panni kudu. (Arjun nodded. Kathir smiled happily.)

Kathir: Rombe thanks, mama.

Kathir: Appurom ithu avughalte solle vendam. Athu ennathu?? Haan!! SURPRISE!! Surprise'ah irukkattum.

Parvathy: Naangge ethuvum solle maatom, mappillai. Neengge bayappadathingge.

Kathir: Thanks, aththai. Naan varen. Good night. (He left the room. Arjun raised his eyebrows at them.)

Parvathy: Ennada puruvathai osathittu paakure??

Parvathy: Ade, aama'le??

Arjun was on the way to his room when he saw Vinay walking towards the elevator. Vinay stopped in his track after hearing Arjun calling his name.

Vinay: Maama.

Arjun: Inthe nerathule veliye poringge. Enna aachu??

Vinay: Maama, ennode charger anthe veetule vittutu vanthutten. Athan poyi eduthuttu vare poren.

Arjun: Naanum anggethan poren. Wait pannungge. Naan poyi access card'um car key'um eduthuttu vanthudren. (Vinay nodded and Arjun left to his room.)

Next Day

Mullai's Room

Mullai was getting ready when her room door being knocked by Kathir.

Mullai: Ready aayittighala?? Two minutes, naanum….

Kathir: Innaikku unkude vara mudiyathu. Oru mukkiyamana velai irukku.

Mullai: Appadiya?? Sari. Enna velai……?? (He already left before she could finish.) Enna aachu ivughalukku?? Nethu lernthu enkitte pesave illei. Illei. Naanthan pesale. Athunaale kochikittaghalo??

At the Dining Area

Everyone was having their breakfast. Mullai was looking at Kathir who was busily having his breakfast.

Mullai: (mind voice) Enna ivughe saapattuleye mummarama irukkaghe. Enneye paarke kude maatigragha. (Arjun was holding a small piece of thosai in his hand waiting to feed her the first bite. He realised she was looking at Kathir who didn't look at her. Kannan saw Arjun was waiting to feed Mullai.) 

Kannan: Mullai anni!! (Mullai broke her thoughts and looked at Kannan.) Arjun maama rombe nerama unggalukku ooti vide wait pannuraru.

Mullai: Sorry, na. Naan gavanikkale.

Arjun: Paravale, ma. (Mind voice: Un gavanam engge irunthuchi'nu enakku teriyum.) (He fed her the first bite.) Mullai, en car'eh service'ku vidanum. Innaikku naan un car'eh use pannikkava??

Mullai: Anna, athu namme car. Eppo vendum naalum use pannikkongge. (Arjun smiled.)

Arjun: Unnaiye naan mothe drop pannittu appurom en office'ku poren. (Mullai nodded.)

Mullai left with Arjun after their breakfast. Arjun stopped the car at a place. Mullai looked at the place confusingly.

Mullai: Ennachu, na?? En ingge stop pannirukkighe?? (Arjun got down from the car and opened Mullai's door.) Ennachu, na??

Arjun:  Nee keele iranggu. (Mullai obeyed and stepped out from the car. She held her chest feeling something.) 3... 2... 1. Pinnadi paaru. (Mullai turned behind and saw Kathir on a bike riding towards them.)

Mullai: Ivughe…. (Arjun just shrugged his shoulders smiling to himself. Kathir stopped the bike near them.)

Arjun: Kathir, neengge sonne mathiri Mullai'ye kootitu vanthutten. Ippo iva ungge poruppu. (Kathir smiled looking at Mullai who was looking puzzled.)

Mullai: Illei enakku puriyale.

Arjun: Innum konje nerathule unakku puriyum. Enakku office'ku time aachu. Naan varen. (He got inside the car and left from there. Mullai looked at Kathir who was raising his eyebrows at her.)

Mullai: Velai irukku'nu sonnighe.

Kathir: Athukkuthan vanthirukken. (Mullai looked at him questioningly. Kathir turned off the bike and got down.) Enakku car ote solli thantha, unakku bike ote sollithare sonne'le?? (Mullai recalled their conversation on that day.) Athan, solli tharalam'nu mudivu pannitten. (Mullai smiled happily.)

Mullai: Nijamava?? (Kathir nodded.) Aana veetukku teriyama solli thara maaten'nu sonnighe??

Kathir: Veetukku teriyathu. Aana veetule ullavaghalukku teriyum. Naan anumathi vaanggitten.

Mullai: Sariyana aaluthaan neengge.

Kathir: Sari. Class aarambikkalama?? (Mullai nodded.) Bike'le ukkaru. (Mullai sat on the bike making him shocked.) Hey, enna pannure??

Mullai: Neenggethane ukkare sonnighe.

Kathir: Athukkunu ippadiya??

Mullai: Pinne eppadi ukkaruvaghe?? Naan ippadithan ukkaruven.

Kathir: Nee ippo bike otanuma illei pinnadi ukkare poriya??

Mullai: Bike otanum.

Kathir: Ippadi eppadi bike otuve?? Olungga ukkaru.

Mullai: Olunggathane'ngge ukkarnthirukken. (Kathir stared at her for a while but he couldn't help seeing her innocent face and burst into laughter.)

Kathir: Un veetule enna unneye ippadi appaviya valarthirukkangge. Bike ote teriyathu sari. Eppadi ukkarnthu otanum kudeyuma teriyathu. 2 side'um kaal potu ukkarntha eppadi bike otuve??

Mullai: Naan ippadithane ukkarnttu varuven.

Kathir: Athu pinnadi ukkarnthu varathukku. Naan eppadi otuven parthirukke'le?? Malar Akila eppadi scooter otuvangge'nu parthirukke'le?? (Mullai nodded.)

Mullai: Athellam parthirukken. Aana enakku appadi ukkarnthu palakkam illei. Ippadiye ote solli kudungge.

Kathir: Ippadi ukkarntha bike eppadi balance pannurathu?? Olungga anthe side oru kaal, inthe side oru kaal potu ukkaru. (Mullai made a puppy face and hesitated to do as he said.) Keele iranggu. (Mullai looked at him in shock.) Iranggu'nu sollren'le!! (She got down from the bike.) Nee ippadi'laam sonna kekke maate. (He held her waist with both of his hands and lifted her making her startled. He made her sit correctly on the bike by placing both of her legs on the both side. Mullai was shocked with his sudden move and just looking at him without blinking her eyes.) Avvalavothan. Ippadi ukkarathukku oru akkaporu. (He saw her sitting like a statue without reacting anything.) Mullai!! (Mullai came out from her trance and realised her sitting position.) Enna aachu??

Mullai: Onnum illei. Solli kudungge. (Kathir explained about the accelerator, brake and clutch and how to operate them.)

Kathir: Car mathirithan ithuvum. Enna car'ku 4 wheel, bike'ku 2 wheel. (Mullai smiled.) Mothe savi potu, stand'eh eduthu vidu. Appurom kicker'eh mithichi vandiye start pannu. (Mullai did as he said. The bike get started.)

Mullai: (happily) Start aachi. (She accidentally accelerated the bike and the bike got jerked in front making her panicked. However, Kathir was managed to hold both Mullai and the bike. Mullai clutched his T-Shirt tightly. Her heart beats fastly.)

Kathir: Bayappadathe. Onnum illei. Athan naan irukken'le. (He rubbed her back calming her down.) Naan unakku pinnadi ukkarnthu kathu tharen. (Mullai nodded and Kathir sat behind Mullai.) Vegama accelerator'eh aluthe vendam. Methu methuva pannina pothum. Hmm?? (Mullai nodded. Kathir moved closer behind her till his chest hit her back. He placed his hands beside Mullai's which were holding the handlebars. Their hands slightly brushed making them blush slightly. He throttled the accelerator with Mullai's hand. The bike started to move slowly. He taught her patiently. Few times Mullai has accidentally pressed the sudden brake making Kathir's body crushed with her's.)

Mullai: Sorry'ngge. (She turned to him and realised how close are their position till she could feel his breath on her cheek. Kathir too realised their closeness. He mentally cursed himself for agreeing to teach her to ride the bike. He doesn't know this proximity with her will affect him a lot. He should know this will happen as his heart always betray him whenever he is with Mullai. However, he pretended to be normal as he didn't want her to feel awkward.) Ippo clutch'eh aluthittu gear'eh maathanum. (Mullai nodded and he continued teaching her.)

To be continued….

Note: I don't know how to ride a bike. I referred in internet. Sorry if you found anything wrong.
