As he was riding to the shop, hhe thought of
how to contact her and get to know the truth. Now that he feels there is
something missing, he cant wait patiently. But he has work to do. Also she is
not at home. She is at her mom’s place.
Kathir made a small detour before going to the
shop, for one part of his plan. By the time he returned to the shop it was
around 9.20. Moothy has already left. Jeeva and Saravana were waiting for him.
K: Sorry nae.. Romba nerama wait pannariya?
J: Ila da.. Engalukum ipo dhan velai
Mudinjudhu. Bill la irundhu ellam petti kulaye iruku da.
K: Seri nae.. Naan Parthukiren.
Jeeva looked at him for a few seconds and said,
Naan pinnadi kadhava lock panama vaikiren. Seriya! Aana naan sonnadha konjam
nyabagam irukatum.
Kathir shook his head in an affirmative as to
accept his offer. As Jeeva left to go home,
K: Vaada Saravana! Vaazhila dhana un room. Naan
unna vitutu poren.
S: Naanum vandhu saraku kuduthutu room ku
poikaren nae. Neenga oruthara eppadi ivalaviyum kondu povinga?
K: Seri.. Vaa!
Kathir set his vehicle and Saravanan loaded the
vehicle in such a way it was comfortable to carry more goods and travel at the
same time.
Once it was done, both locked the shop and
started for the delivery.
As they were going, there was a small, constant
rattling noise in the vehicle. Saravanan noticed it and enquired about it.
Kathir simply brushed the question off, but he
knows which sound he is talking about. He infact has let it be there as a
reminder of one of the memorable moments of their life.
The noise is caused by a loose part in the
vehicle, which was caused by the fall. When she learnt to ride, she fell so
many times, now that he thinks about it, it was bittersweet.
They arrived at the hotel and unloaded all the
items. Once all the goods were unloaded, Saravanan lef to his room.
Kathir waited at the hotel for them to check
the stocks and bill.
He remembered the way she learnt to ride the
bike, and the proud way she flaunted her newly acquired skill to the whole of
family.
When Moorthy anna asked him to select a vehicle
for the women to use, he had only one thing in mind. It should be Blue in
color. The delivery was delayed by three days because he has demanded for that
color.
She fell so many times during those three days
of learning, twice even going as far as to drag him down with her fall as well.
Somehow, he managed.
He remembered her asking him to teach her…
Hotel Owner called out to Kathir
Ellam seriya iruku Kathiru! Romba Thanks. Ivlo
Nerukadila enngaluku kondu vandhu kudutheengale…
K: Enga thozhil nae adhu. Idhuku enna thanks
lam.
H.O: Sapteengala thambi?
K: Ila nae.. Inni.. Poi dhan sapidanum.
H.O: Inni poi ah? Enna Kathiru! Mazhai vera
Peiyudhu! Idhuku melaya? Irunga. Neenga namba Hotel laye sapidunga.
He refuses to listen and offers food for
Kathir.
Kathir, unable to do anything, sits and eats a
little, all the while thinking of what to do next, now that he wants to get in
touch with her.
By the time he is done eating, the rain has
stopped, so he collects the payment for the stock and leaves once again to the godown.
Going home will not be helpful. Its already 11 PM.
