Hi Guys

I couldn't update regularly as i am having a hectic work schedule, extremely sorry for keeping you guys on wait please bear with me ill try my maximum to update regularly. Thanks for the understanding 💛 since i am typing it in a hurry there will be lots of mistakes apology in advance.

His deep roaring voice reverberates all around the surrounding. Yet no sign of her. His hearts starts thumping in angst, he try to hold his hope while his mind playing all the worst possibilities would have happened to her.

That's human tendency to be more responsive for negativity and vividly remember bad traumas, dwelling in sting of rebuke. He starts to play devil's advocate between his mind and heart.

His mind recalls an terrified incident from past. While his eyes are glued to specific spot surrounded by bushes.

Its feel like yesterday, he unable to forget that incident ever, the sense of fear was intacted to his soul. He feel petrified in the same way,  For many years he has been remorseful.

But he afraid whether this day will replace it? Should he has to rue for his lifetime remembering today?

It was the same place, a day of monsoon alike today. Quite hazy atmosphere with swirling wind.

He and she, fifteen years old kathir and thirteen year old mullai.

I have decided to continue the teen part under same KK and MM name tag. Since i am fond of them don't want to change it.

KK was sitting in the corner of the foyer of the old temple, this was his usual place for his lone time, he had just started his so called career at PS shop as full time employee. And had dropped his studies in the middle, of course for the sake of his family.

He seems little restless today, is he waiting for someone? He had asked the same question to himself and promptly denied that by shaking his head, though he know its an utter lie.

KK to himself : varuvala? Varama poiduvala? School poi iruntha pathurukalame, Kadaila ambutu velaiya vachutu enga porathu.. rendu naal aache pathu.

His heart begins to yearns for her, it is almost two days, 48 hours. He was waited at the same place on yesterday and day before yesterday too. But she never turned up. Did she forgot him? Or does she occupied with other friends?  An intense possessiveness had hit him . He was felt rage of anger with those unknown faces.

All of a sudden he heard a voice

Kathiruuu..

His thoughts were got interrupted by that familiar voice. He turned and smiles at her.

Kathiru.. nee ean thidirnu school varala? Oru vaarathuku mela aguthe? Ellarum unnaya romba thedunam. Naanum kooda than unaya thedunan. (she is being little shy),  inaiku  enachunu parkalamnu unga kadaiku poi irunthan.

Kaidikka? Neeya? He questioned her

Ama. She replied.

Nee mattuma, vera yarum varalaya? He continued the conversation

Ilaye naa mattum than vera yaru varanum? She raised her eyebrows at him

Athu vanthu... Hmm ila sari ne... Nee inga ean vantha? Epadi na inga irupanu theriyum? He is curious

Athu vanthu na kadaiku poi irunthanla unga kumareshan maama than ne veliya poitanu sonaru. ne sila neram inga varatha pathurukan athu than theditu vanthan. Inga thaniya ena da panura? She questioned back

He hates that " da" precisely, why she had to call him with such terms? Though he doesn't like it, he cannot express it openly. He merely acknowledged it by nodding his head

Athuku ivlo thooram vanthiya? Ne ne edhuku enaya thedanum? Pona maasam Vignesh kooda than school varama irunthan ne avana thedi pogave ilaye? Nama yarume pogalaye.

She wondered why he is sounding like a halfwit person. Why on the earth she has to search for Vignesh? Where she clearly likes kathir. In her mind she starts scolding him for being stupid.

Naa ean avana parka poganum? Enaku avana pidikathu. Ana.... Ana... She was struggling with diffidence.

In other hand he was bewildered and genuinely concerned

Why she had to search him?
Why she has to visit here?
Why she is stammering?
Why she is not looking into his face?
Why she has acting weirdly?

Did he committed something wrong?
Or is he missing some big part of this puzzle?

Whatever it is he doesn't want to spend long time with her, that is too in the middle of this shady place. He wants her to leave him alone. Or this may lead to unwanted commotion

Ana ena ? seekiram solitu ne kelambu.  Inga yarume ila. Thaniya ipadi thiriyatha. Ethachum nadantha yaruku nastam solu? He urged her to leave

Ne than irukiye kathiru apadi ena nadanthura poguthu. She is too being stubborn not ready to giving up.

Naa naa.... Iruntha. Onum nadakatha?
He is stuttering, sensing something is wrong with this girl. Una unga veetula thedamatangala? Seekiram po mazha vara poguthu.

Ean kathiru enaya ipadi thorathura unaku.... Unaku.   Enayya pidikatha? She finally articulated it vaguely

KK unable to grasp the hidden meaning of it, as usual starts to blather stories which doesn't make sense to that scene

naa ini schoolku varamaten, kadaila annan thaniya irukuthu nanum vanthuta siramama irukum. Ne veetuku po nalla padi, naa ella friendsayum visarichatha solu.
Ipa poitu vaa.

She understood she is going on a wild goose chase, no point of making the statement hazy. He is not capable of understanding the essence hence she decided to hit the nail on the head.

Iyo kathiru naa solurathu unaku puriyutha ilaya? She is vexed

Puriyuthu aana na school vantha....he continues only to be cut off from her

Kathiru enaku una pidichuruku. Ne ne school varama un kooda pesama irukathu enaku kastama iruku.  She made it crystal clear.

Aiyayoo athu vanthu naa.   Nee enaku apadi.... Un mela...
He continues to prattle until he heard the sound of the pair of anklets along with a sweetest voice.

Maaamaaaaaaaa........

she is running towards him with her fascinating smile adorning her lips. Wearing a pink long skirt and blouse she resembles a lotus. Her silky hair drawing pattern in the wind as she runs. For a moment he was enchanted by that sight. The sight he longed to see for the past two days. Literally he should be happy instead he has panicked to confront her now, he is certain today its going to be a chain of clamour.

MM : maama unaku theriyuma appa enaya.. she starts her story enthusiastically  without noticing the third person standing there.

KK : Mulla nee.  Ean vantha? His voice was little worried and sounded harsh. That's enough to hurt her.

He didn't mean it, he didn't wants her to leave but the situation was not conducive to continue the conversation. If she notices the third person the world war three will be begin.

MM : una paarka than she answered innocently, tears begin to shead from her eyes.

KK's heart is melting as an ice in the desert but he is being powerless he try to minimise the gravity of damage that is about imminent.

KK : sari di. Nalaiku kadaiku vaa ipa veetuku po mazha varuthu.

MM : iru maama oru anji nimisham mattum please kathiru, konja nerathula poran.

He couldn't deny the request, five minutes she is requesting only five minutes to be with him, where he wants an eternity with her. 

KK : hmmm. Mulla nee ( he wants to asked where she has been for two days)

Kathiru naa ketathuku pathil solu.

Both of them get interrupted and back to their sense by hearing the sound.

Kathir jerked in fear and mullai astound to see her here. MM draws herself near to him in a proprietorial way. Looking at both of them

MM : maama...  Iva iva ean inga vantha.. ne vara sonniya?

KK : iyoo ne vera naa ean avala koopda poran? He answered promptly without giving space for mulla's wild imagination.

Naana than kathira paathu pesalamnu vanthan. Ne ean inga vantha? una yaaru inga koopta? She even sound intimidating. She looked at KK and questioned him.

Nee than mullai ya vara sonniya kathiru?

KK : ila.. athu, he thoroughly in a state of perplexity look back to MM's face. She is about to cry.

Athu ava ne ean avala thitura? Ava una vida china ponnu priya. Payapaduthu thane.  Looking back to MM, ne ean di ipa azhura? Azhatha mulla ava onna thita mata. Naa ean school varalanu ketutu ipa poiduva. Priya ne poiruva thane?

Pri : naa ean poganum avala poga solu. Naa thane muthalavathu vanthan. Avala enaku pidikala kathiru. Poga solu.

MM : ne podi athu ennoda maama. Maama ne enaku maatum thane maama. Priya unaya naa kathir maama kooda pesathanu sollirukanla amava ilaya? Naa un maama kooda pesava? She begins to counter attack with utmost innocent. still being a child She doesn't even know how to fight properly

KK : edhu ne pesa poriya? Avanoda elam ne ean di pesanum?  He panicked

MM : sonnan maama iva kitta Aanalum ketkamatangura, MM is sulking and Kathir got an urge to touch her cheeks. She is looking so adorable when sulking.

Priya and mullai both are in same class but she is two year elder than mullai, same age as kathir. Due to some issues she had to continue her studies with junior group, she too developed a crush on kathir.

Pri : naa pesuvan. En kooda pesa venamnu Kathir solatum nee solatha mulla. Kathiru solu unaku enaiya pidikatha.

MM : pidikathunu solu maama MM urges him

Kathir being so generous he doesn't wants to hurt anyone. He try to be little diplomatic in this case

KK : mullai na soluratha kelu. Nee veetuku po. Naa nalaiku un kooda pesava?

Pri : athu than una poga soliyache. Ne poriya? ( She sounds sardonic)

KK : ne konjam pesama iru. Ava ipa poiduva. Neeyum...

Thats the last string, he has given the wrong picture to MM, kathir would have explained it to priya instead mullai, but he has choose the wrong option hoping mullai will understand him better than her. After all priya is no one to him, but mullai is his mullai poo, But he forgot that MM is sensitive and feeble when its come to them.

MM left the place without saying anything, she ran fast as she could.
Her affliction starts to increase as he ditched her infornt of another girl

KK also become numb as she left the place with tears, his heart sobbing in pain.

KK : mullaa... Antha pakkama pogatha, unga veetuku pora vazhi athu ila. He has confused why she is running the otherway

Pri : ava pona pogatum vidu.

KK : ena ne vitta pesite pora? pona pogatuma? Athu ennoda mulla, ava munadi una onum solli kastapadutha venamnu than na onume pesala. Unaku naa niraya vaati soliten avaloda veena sanda podathanu. Ipa paaru pawam azhuthutu poiduchu. Sari ne po naa avala samadhana paduthikiran. He is still being polite

Pri : apa enaku ena than bathil sola por

Both of them halt in the middle as they heard a noise. Kathir turned and saw his worst nightmare. She has plummeted into the deep well. His mullai, his mullai poo. His heart stopped beating in that moment, head starts to swirls, agitation getting on high, become instantly frail and terrified. The sense of fear, the notion of losing her made him go pale. both of them rushed to the place.

Its took a couple of minutes to receptive to the situation, and without thinking twice he just about to jump and stopped by priya abruptly.

Pri : Kathiru ena panra

KK : hey ellam unala than kaiya vidu.

Pri : kathiru unaku sariya neentha kooda theriyathe.

KK : ulla vizhunthathu enoda mulla.

With that he jumped, managed to found her and draw her back from the deep cornor. Both of them drenched in water and got hurt badly.

MM has lost her consciousness and fainted out of fear since the well is  deep and dark, though it has stares its very hazard to manage at your own.

KK trying his level best to comfort her, crying his heart out he patiently waited  for her to open her eyes.

Pri : athu than padi irukuthula onu avale eri vanthurupa, ila ne irangi poi irukalam ipa ean kuthicha?

KK : ne inum pogalaya? Poidu. Mulla kanna thora mulla, ena paaru ma.

as time passed a little,every second feels like a eternity for him. Finally she has opened her eyes. And all his tears and sorrow turn as anger, he starts to shout at her.

KK : arivu irukutha di? Apave sonanla intha pakam pogathanu. Epa paaru engayachum vilunthu vachitu

MM : maama she starts to weeps

KK : ena adipattathu valikitha? Oru nimisham usure poiduchu

MM : she nodded no and demands priya to leave the place, avala poga solu.

KK : please priya poidu.na aparama pesuran

MM  : aparamavum pesatha

KK :  sari pesala vidu

Pri : kathir.   Ana naa... Sari na aparama vanthu pesuran.

MM : ne varatha podi. 

Priya left the place without saying anything determined to confront him later

KK : mulla... Avala vidu. Enaya paaru

MM : iaiyoo maama ivlo raththam

KK : kuthicha ratham varama?

MM : ean kuthicha athu than intha kinathuku padi irukuthe.

KK : ne ean poi vizhuntha, apadi ena kannu mannu theriyama oru ottam,enaku onnume odala, padi irukunu theriyum analum enaku ethum thonala. Payam mattum than irunthuchu. Athu than kuthuchitn

MM : enanu payantha

KK . Ahhh unga appa amma ku ena pathil solurathunu than

MM : athane parthen unaku than enaya pidikathe thittite irupiye.

KK : pudikathunu naa sonana? Nee panra velaiku unaya konjuvangala?

The banter has started as usual, they are in their own little world

MM : ne en kooda pesatha maama, ava ketapa avala pidikathunu ne solave ila.

KK : sona than unaku theriyuma?

MM :  Ahhhh. She winches in  pain

KK : enathu

MM : valikithu maama.

KK : thuni ellam eerama iruku, konjam iru kaayatum naane kootitu poi veetula vituran, ini ne intha pakkam vara koodathu

MM : apa naa una enga parkarathu

KK : onum parka thevala podi.

MM : sari poran po

The sweet nothingness of love. They both back to their comfort zone.

KK : mulla nesama theriyama thane thavari vizhuntha

MM didn't answer just smiled at him

They never spoke about that incident again, since both of them know the it is not an accident.

Kathir back to his sense, looking at the direction of that old sinister well which was once tried to snatch her from him, now playing a demon again, he somehow dragged himself forcefully to the edge of it, but afraid to look into the surface. He prayed to every god to keep her safe, returned her back to him.

He is fully shaken and shuttered , too fragile to look into the well. But he has to do it,as the place getting shady and gloomy his anxiety got accelarated, finally he managed to muster up the courage and took a deep observations of it. Calling out her name pathetically

What did he found inside it?

TBC..

Ill try my level best to update the next part on tomorrow
