Ps shop, later in the evening

Mo : kathiru, ne inaiku raathiri store ku poganum da puthu stock varuthu ne atha rathiri ninu parthutu vaa.

Kathir was not in a mood to work. At his current state of mind he couldn't concentrate on anything other than mullai. Definitely taking stock details and checking account was not a good idea to mold your broken heart.

K : anne inaika? Hmm inaiku oru nal jeewa annana poga solriya?

Mo : ila da avan thiruchiku oru visiyama poi irukan..avana vazhila mullai kooda parthan. Veetula vittu vandiya saravana kitta anupitu apadiye poranu sonan. Nee poitu va da.

Kathir gave a thought about it. Actually its not a bad idea. Kumareshan maama will be there hence now he plans to  have some drinks. To get along with the miserable situation he desperately needs that. He nods yes to moorthy

Ps home at 7 pm

D : vanga chithapa, ukarunga.

Mu : akka engama? Kooti variya?

D and L came to hall. Sametime moorthy reaches the home.

D : maama, jeewa kathir enga?

Mo : jeewa ipa vanthuruvan, kathir stock eduka poitan. Maama vanthu romba nerama?

Mu : ila maapla ipa than.

Suddenly all stopped speaking, the room is filled with saturninity. No one had the courage to kill the silence.

Murugan has turned to his sister, she turns her face otherside.there is no other way, someone have to tie the bell.
Murugan slowly opens up.

Mu : maapla nan vantha visiyam athu.. akka.. mullai padipa mudichu oru varusathuku mela aguthu. Ava kalyana visiyama than.

L : kalyanam thane katayam varam nu solu moorthy ( angrily)

Mu : akka ipadi pesina epadi? Nan ena sola varanu ungalakukavathu puriyutha maapla? Jeewa ku than mullaiya kodukuratha pesunathu thane akka.

Nama etho ketta kaalamnu pesikala. Ana pullaiga apadi ninaikaleye. Mullai jeewa maaplaiya thavira yarayum kalyanam panamatanguthu.

Vera yarayum katti vacha ethum panikuvalonu payamaruku. Adikadi ava ammakum avalukum ithalaye sandai.  Jeewa maaplaikum mullai mela istam than. Nane arasal purasala parthurukan.

Ne than ka ethayum manasula vachikama, intha kalyanatha nadathanum..

L : (shouting) entha mugatha vachitu da inga kalyanam pesa vantha? Neenga seithathuku unga kudumbathoda pesave koodathu. Ana apa apa etho pesitu thane irukam. Athoda niruthika. Intha ponnu kattura kathai ellam inga nadakathu.
Nan onum en pasangala apadi valakala. Un ponna jeewa virumburanu enala ethuka mudiyathu.

As the situation get heated kathir get into the house. He was all drunk. But steady enough to maintain himself..his face showing that something terribly wrong with him.

He was dumbstruck to see murugan there. His intuition telling that something is terribly wrong. Why murugan visited here....did mullai complaint about him?

Or

Or

It is....

Its striked in his mind. This is not supposed to happen. He should stop this. He was not ready to give up on her.. but how?

Here her father sitting infront his mother asking jeewa's hand in marriage with mullai...

His mullai.. 

His possession

His love.

Lakshmi continues

Ne poidu kaathalum ila onum ila. Ava intha veetuku marumagalaga mudiyathu.

K : (Softly) thayavu seithu poirunga, annauku ava....( stammering)

Dhanam & moorthy already in shock to see kathir. Now they panicked as he started to talk. Dhanam immediately cuts him off.

D : dei unaku onum theriyathu pesama iru. Ean ipadi unaku mugam ellam verukuthu. Udambu sari ilaya? Detective dhanam sense something isn't right, dei enada panitu vantha? Kudichirukiya?

Ena maama ivan kudichutu vanthurukan?

K : ann anni... vidunga.. ipa nan soluratha... jeewa annanuku avala... intha kalyanam nadakathu..nadakavidamatan.

Mu, moo, D and Ka shockingly looking at each other. Even Lakshmi looks stunned.

D : ena da olaritu iruka, kudichitu vanthu inga. Ean nadakathu. Mullai jeewa va virumbura, jeewa ku mullaiya istam. Pawam da maama maamanu iruntha ponna venamnu solurathu... ean da nadakathu ean? Dhanam shakes him

K couldn't take it anymore he shouted enough to hear to everyone.

Enaku pidikala... enaku pidikala.. avala anninu ninaika mudiyathu...

To make the situation worse jeewa returns to home from thrichy. Jeewa rushed inside to see whats the commotion going on.

Kathir was so outloud which could even hear by the people next door.

J : ena inga? Ena ean ellarum kathitu irukinga?

Dhanam explained everything to him.

J : maama... amma ena ithellam. Ipa kalyanam ellam eduku? Ena avasaram?

Kathir looked relived

K : nan sonan parthingala annanuku avala istam ila. Avalukum annana istam ila.. intha kalyanm venam.. thayavu seinju nan....

Moo : kathir pesama iruka maata. Una nan store ku poga thane sonan. Ne kudichutu vanthu inga periyavanga pesum pothu vambu panitu iruka.  Maama nenga solunga ( looking into murugan)

Murugan throws a cheap glance at kathir. And moved near to lakshmi.

Mu : ( sitting beside her, crying in shaky voice)
akka nan unaku seithathu thapu than. Etho en ketta kaalam ava pecha kettu apadi nadanthutan. Athuku en pillaiya palivangiratha ka.
Jeewa maapla ilati ava sethuruvanu solura ka. Enaku irukathu ore pulla ka, unmaiya solanum na nan ipa romba udainji poi irukan. Ethume kaila ila. Avala epadi karai serka poranu therila. En ponnu vazhkai un kaila than iruku..ava ethachum pannikitta  nanum uyiroda iruka matan.

Kathir clenched his hand, and teeth

K : amma venama.. venamnu soluma.. ava apadi onum panamata.... thimir pidichva.. ava ean saga pora?... ava ava.. mathavangala than kolluva.

Moorthy slaps kathir once.

Moo : pesama iruka mata ne?

K : nan pesuvan jeewa anne venamnu solu. Ava una kattitu vantha nan veliya poiruvan.

D : avan kedkuran athai. Kudikaran kudichutu ularitu irukan..jeewa solatum... neenga solunga..

Mu : solu akka, ena palivangiratha ka,  maama inneram uyiroda irunthuruntha unakum intha nilmai irunthurukathu, enakum ipadi agi irukathu

Avar irunthuruntha en ponna vitturuka maataru. En marumagal da nu evlo urimaiya soluvaru. Maranthutiya akka ?

Murugan played his last trump card and here it is hits the correct spot. Lakshmi has already in a dilemma now completely give in when she heard his husband name.

Lak : ( weeping and crying) muruga ena da periya vaarthai ellam pesura? Un ponna nan apadi vituruvana? Etho kovam rendu varthai kooda kuraiya pesitan ana athukunu uravu ilanu poiduma?

Kathir standing statue as he still in denial state, no way how could his mother can speak like this?

K mv : iyoo nama theliva ketama? Ena amma enavo soluthu..en mullai ma athu... maa

Laks continues...

Una kastapaduthi iruntha manichuruda muruga.  Mullaikum jeewa kum kalyanam nadakum. Avar asa pata padiye nadakum ithu un akka nan unaku kodukura vaaku da.

All looked stunned.. including jeewa.

Mu : ithu pothum kaa pothum...

Lak : jeewa unaku samatham thane?'

J : (couldn't pulled any words) he thinking deeply. Looking at kathir..
Athu maa. Vanthu. 

Lak and dhanam understood his hesitance.

Lak : avana vidu da. Kudichutu vanthu palaya kovathula etho pesitu irukan. Avana pathi yosikatha ne solu. 

K : anne venam please na purinjiko.. ava unaku venam. Enala avala anniya ninaika mudiyathu avala nann

Lak : unaku ninaika mudiyati poda.. kanna avana kondu poi room la vittu kathava pootitu va.

Kanna try to drag kathirs hand. 

He is getting violence now.

K : venam da kitta vantha konnuruvan parthuka thambinu parka matan... ellaruma sernthu ean da en vaazhkaiya vilayaduringa?

He blurted it out...

Oh dear load, no one getting the his point, not a single soul

D : iyo jeewa avana vidu ularitu pogatum, ne solu. 

Moo : ean da mullai mela istam ilaya da?

Lak : ena istam ilama evlo latchanama iruka? En thambi ponnu. Avala than katanum solitan

D : jeewa nee vera ean da paduthura?

J : ipa kalyanam pathi yosikala konja naal agatumenu....

Lak : ne samatham mattum solu aparama kalayam vachikalam onum avasaram ila.

D : ean da neeyum ivana mathiri palasa thooki pidichutu iruka poriya? Nadanthatha vituru. Intha kalyanathoda ellam sari agidum

Mu : ama maapla nan seinjatha ninaichu en pullai vaazhkaiya pazhi vaangirathinga (with folding hand)

J mind voice : sari namakulu istam irunthalum konjam time edupamnu parthan. Avala pidikama ellam onum ila. Romba pidikum.

J :  amma sari ma, enaku mullai ya kattika pari poorna samatham ma.

K : anneee nan soluratha...

J : dei pothum rendu naala romba panra..ellam pesiyachila vidu. Parthukalam. Palasa maranthuru kathiru. Mullai kum enakum ithula samatham amma othukichu. Ini yarum ithula pesa onum ila.  Ne ula po. Kudichu vera iruka

This time kanna dragging him, kathir protesting hard and got another slap by moorthy, as he already drunked and witnessing all this drama made his mind to go crazy.. without thinking he had stopped moorthy's hand by holding it, which was ready to give another slap to him

The whole place went dead silence...

J : Kathir unaku buthi ketu pocha? Poda ulla. Unaku ena pirachanai ipa. Unaku unmai theriyanum avlo thane? Sari ketuka ama nanum mullaiyum oruthara oruthar virumburom.. nan kalyanam panipan avlo than.

K shouting : poi poi poi avala vanthu sola solunga. Inga vanthu ena parthu sola solu una virumburenu.

D : puthusa ena solanum ava jeewa va virumburathu ellarukum theriyum

Mu : ama kathir maapla.  Ava jeewa maaplaya kattikati sethuruvanu sonatha ena kannala parthurukan, enaku theriyatha

Kanna : ama anne en kitta kooda nan than unaku anninu adikadi soliruku mullai anni.

J : ava ean da vanthu un kitta solanum,  kattika poravan nan soluran pothatha?? 

maama neenga kelambunga avanuku paithiyam kudichutu aaditu irukan. Mathatha aparama pesipom.  Onum payapadathinga intha kalyanam nadakum.

Mu : sari maapla santhosam nan varan. Varen ka, varen ma danam

As he left, kanna and jeewa pushed kathir to his room.. he was not  budging.. throwing a big drama..

J : poda room ku..

Kathir feels dizzy and weak.. he lost his protest. Eyes closed,,blabbering to himself

K : jeewa.... anne.  Please na... mullai... venam...... avaaa venam.... anni illa illla. ( he nods no) en mullaiii ne...  en.. chel..

Kanna looking into jeewa questioningly

Kanna : enna anne etho etho mullai nu solluthu.

J : kudichutu ularuran da vidu.
