Lakshimi opens the door as someone knocked it.

It was  late night around 3 am.

Murugan and parvathy was standing outside, carrying mullai in hand.

L : eana da in nerathula vanthurukinga?

Mu : ellam iva pana koothu akka.

P : chuma irunga. Athu onum ila athachi. Puthu idam ila ivaluku serala. Anga kooda nanga perusa ponathilaye adikadi.. inga ellarum ilanathum avaluku ekkamagiruchu.

Mu : ore azhuthu adam. Jeewa aparam kathira parkanmu. Aparam ipa kachal athan sarinu kooti vantham.

Parvathy looked at him questioningly

L : kaachala? jeewavum nethelam thedite than da irunthan. Sari vanga, saptu thane vanthinga?

P : saptom, ivaluku kaachal nan room la paduka vaikuran. Inga venam..
Veetula apadi kothichichu car la erinathum kurainjiruku.

L : sari ethachum mathira iruntha kudu. Kaalaila sari agiduva.

Parvathy has noticed that kathir had already made a place near him..with a pillow and bedsheets. ( she smiled to herself) she took her inside..

As kathir wake up early morning. He could feel the sensation within him.

He knows she is near

He could feel her presence

Her warmth.

Her childish voice.

His mullai.

He was try to figure it out..

He had checked near by him the hall no sign of her..

Run to their room it was locked.

Try to reach out his mom, she was busy in the kitchen has no time to answer his question

Jeewa and all still soundly sleeping.

He had freshen up and sitting in the backyard. Hoping she will return today..

KK to himself : (being grumpy) mullai vantha mathiri namaku mattum than thonuthu.... oru vellai inaiku varuvangalo? Ana 2 naal thane agi iruku. Inum 8 naal agumnu thane amma sollichu

He counted his fingers and figure out there are 8 more days left. 8 long days to see his mullai.

KK continues...

Nama ean theduram 8 nal iruntha ena nan than kovam thane inime pesamatan. Ena vittutu ponathala. Suddenly he wears his determined face..😡

Varatum epadi solalam.. pesathanu. He imagined various dialogues.

Ey ne ini pesatha.. chaa nalala

Hey nan ini pesamatan. Sigh venam

Enoda pesatha nan kovama irukan.. che che ithu venam

Nan payangra kovama irukan..

Mullai ini varatha... nan romba kovama....

When KK was drifting in his thought. Making plans to how could show anger to her. Suddenly

He heard a tiny voice..

not much audible though.

coming from the door way.

The voice that he could even hear in the middle of thousands chaos.

The voice which could comfort him in his worse days.

The voice which could make him complete.

The voice which he wish only he should hear

The tiny angelic voice...

But today sounds  low and weak

Maama 💛

He has uttered those word even without turning..

Chellam ❤

Kathir has just returned to ps shop after delivering some goods to nearby shop. When he is entering. He has saw mullai.

Sitting in the cashier seat. No one around inside the shop.

K mv : aiyoo ivala parkarapa manasu kidanthu adichukuthe.. evlo azhaga iruka? Kadaila yarum ila..kathir nethu nadanthathuku mannipu ketu avala virumburatha soliru da. Unaku ava thaniya iruka chance vera kidaikathu.

He went inside. Composed himself to be calm. There was a pressure boiling up inside him.

An awkward, Pin dropping silence has created between them.

Mullai merely looked at him without showing any emotion.

He was trying to figure it out some emotions some desire some answers in her eyes..hard luck he couldn't find any. As badly wanted to convey his feelings. He slowly started to converse with her..

K : humm mm ( adjusting his voice) mu... mull.. mullai...  nethu... nan

Suddenly a voice came inside of the store room.

Mullai yaar athu customer a?'

Jeewa has come from nowhere, seeing kathir standing infront of mullai..

J : kathir nee thana? Epa vantha?

Kathir got peeved off. Looking in to mullai and jeewa. He turned his face from her enimitedly.

K : anne kadaila vera yaru iruka? Maama sarvana enga? ( throwing question without looking into jeewa)

J : yarum ilaye da. Athan mullai varavum inga iruka sonan..

Kathir in a blaring voice blurted those spiteful words to mullai.

K : enthirichu veliya podi.

J :  dei kathir... ena da.?

K : podi nu sona po. ( looking stern towards mullai)

J : kathir ean ipadi kathura...  ithu nalala kathiru.  Antha pullai ena panichu una?.

K : veliya podi... kadaila yarum ilama iruka koodathe udane vanthuruva? Inga verum ambilainga than irupanganu unaku theriyathu?
Alainjitu iruka?  Podi inga irunthu.

J : ( furiously) dei parthu pesu... ena vaaiku vanthathellam pesitu iruka? Ne ulla po da muthala. Nanum pathutu irukan chuma avala ethachum solitu.

K :  ( still looking into mullai) avala sona unaku eane valikithu? Avala than namaku agathe.

J : (outrageous) ama da enaku valikithu. Athuku ena ipa. Thambiyachenu parkaran vera yaravatha iruntha.

M : pothum maama.. nan poran ( crying) enna vachi neenga adichikathinga. Ama nan alairava than ana un pinadi ilaye. Vanthutan pesurathuku.

J : mullai iru antha pakam than poran nan kondu poi viduran. Ithuku than unaku anike sonan adikadi kada pakam varathanu ( giving a Sharp look to kathir)

M : venam maama nan nadanthu poran. Inga silaruku ena parthale pidikathu. Ethuku nan nadanthe poran

J : ila ne vaa, azhuthute nadaka poriya?

K :  (hurriedly) anne nan delivery poganum, vandi venum.
Ey Indha vaadi, nan kondu poi viduran.

J : venam ava en kooda varatum. Nan vanthathum ne delivery ku po. Onum avasaram ila.

K : ila athu.

J : onum solatha pothum , mullai era poriya ilaya?

Mullai get on to the bike and jeewa rides the bike in jet speed.

Meantime moorthy got a call from dhanam

D : maama murugan chithapa phone panaru. Athaiya parka raathiri varaam. Ellam kalyana visiyam than.
Jeewakum antha pullaiya istam nan phone pesurathu vandila poratha parthurukan.

Moo : hmm sari parpam. Kathir a apa nan night store ku poga soluran. Avan iruntha priachinaiya irukum sari vaikiran

Kathir has sat down in the floor and cried uncontrollably.

Mullai...
