She walked slowly and stood at one arm’s distance from her husband.

He observed her. Her face is swollen. Her eyes are red. So, she has cried. It hurt him knowing that he is the reason for this. No. This is not gonna continue. He wanted it sorted out immediately. He has come this far. He is not leaving without having an answer.

He looked at his mobile. Its 11.48. She switched on the torch in her mobile and placed it on the nearby wall so they both have light.

K: Kovama en mela?

M: Ilenga.

K:Naan solradha konjam porumaiya kepiya?

M: mmm… solunga!

K: Naan unna edhavudhu kayapaduthi irundhen na… enna Manichidu.

She looked at him with tears filling her eyes…

K: Nama rendu perum pesi sila vishiyangala thelivu pannikanum. Ennaku theriyudhu…

K: Nee kaetila… Naan pona ungaluku parava ilaya nu?

M: mmmm…

K: Ennala nethu… rathri… namma room la.. room la… thoonga.. thookam…

She stared at him.. Is he telling her that he couldn’t sleep without her there?

K: Naan onnu ketpen…

M: Ennadhunga…

K: Unnaku nyabagam iruka? Vandi oota solli kudukum podhu naan badhiluku onnu ketpen nu sonnane…

M: Aamam ga… Naan thirumba aniki keta bodhum.. neram varum podhu ketpen nu sonnengalae

K: Hmmm… Ipo.. Ennaku nee… Ipo adha naan ketkalama?

On hearing this she grew anxious, and panicked a little. What is he gonna ask her? Why does he want to speak to her at the dead of the night, all alone.. her mind was coming up with million scenarios and nothing was good..

He saw her face and found she has once again took the wrong meaning.

This is going on for forever.

K: Ey… Bayapadadha! Konjam porumaiya naan solradha ketu, yosichu badhil sollu. Seriya?

M: mmm.. seringa!

K: Ennaku theriyum… Naan nee karpanai panna madhriana oru aal ila. Aana…

His alarm clock went off indicating its 12. Its Nov 26th. He is lagging on time. So.. He decided to make it short and ask her directly, all the explanations, clarifications and apologies can wait.

K: Naan…. Naama rendu perum…. Ennaku…
He closed his eyes… took a deep breath, turned his head and looked at her opening his eyes.

She was standing to his left,  her hands fidgeting at sides. She was holding the pallu end of her saree. She looked adorable.

“Ennaku naama rendu perum serindhu vaazhanam nu aasai. Idhu varaikum naan edhavudhu thappu panni irundha manichidu. Sollu. Thiruthikiren. Aana… Ennaku nee venum! Vazhkai muzhudhum kooda vara… Adhuku naan enna pannanum. Nee sollu. Naan seiren.

Nee ennaku romba mukiyam, Adhai naan kalam muzhuka nirubika oru vaaipu tharuveeya? “

She was so shocked on hearing him speak all this so clearly. So confidently. There was no doubt or wavering in his voice. It sounded so sure.

Her eyes welled up. She is not dreaming. No. She is not. This is happening for real. She is elated and the happy tears started flowing.

Her voice once again failed her. She wants to say yes.. Scream.. but nothing happened.

She did the only thing to answer this in a way that words cant.

She took hold of his left arm near the elbow and moved closer to him, looked him in the eye, passing the answer through her eyes, and leaned on his shoulder.

This moment is it. Yes. He said he want to live with her. What more does she even need?

She moved closer, all the while keeping her head on his shoulders, and moulded her right side to his left.

Kathir was speechless. He expected her to say yes or no. This act of hers showed how much pain she went through. He felt like a fool for making her suffer that way. He wanted to apologise.

He started to pacify her when she shook her head as to not to speak. She moved her head even closer, setting in right on his shoulders supported by his neck. All this while, she gently lowered her hand and threaded her fingers with his.

He gave her a gentle squeeze, to let her know his approval and made himself comfortable so she can lean on him better. He felt contend. He felt her relax as he assured her. Her tears couldn’t be stopped but she doesn’t care. Let it flow. These are happy tears.

He turned his head slightly to place a kiss on the crown of her head, but his moment caused her also to slightly raise her head. So, when he placed the kiss, it fell right on her forehead.

They both stood that way for some time, neither speaking. She tried to get even closer to his side from time to time, making him chuckle.

After sometime, Kathir cleared his throat, making Mullai raise her head and ask,

M: Ennanga?

Neither felt shy or awkward for they were both yearning for the other to be close by. They understood this is natural progression and acknowledged it.

He stood straighter, making her to move a little, thus making her too to raise off his sides. She looked at him. He did not let go of her hand. He now slowly raised it to their chest level, stared at it for a few seconds. He brought out a small box, held it in his right hand. Slowly he raised his eyes and looked her in the eye, all the while his right hand was moving at his side.

K: Mullai…..

Her eyes widened… and she wore that brilliant smile of hers for the first time then. It was even wider now..

K: Inniya pirandhanaal nal vazhthukkal.

Saying this he brought the box in front of them and offered it to her.

She was beyond surprised. In all this mad chaos, she did not even remember her birthday. Only on hearing his wish did it actually sync in her mind that its actually her birthday and she actually spent it with him. This man, has remembered it and went to so much struggle to make it all the more special.

How will she ever have the heart to lose him? No.. She is gonna cherish him beyond any means.

She opened the box he offered and found a dozen glass bangles in blue shade. Her favorite color. And in the middle there was a pair of earrings. This had green stones in it. She removed the wrapping papers around the bangles and offered him her hands.

He smiled, took the bangles and put it on her hands. She then wore the earrings he got for her. They both smiled so broad and bright.

Once again Mullai, threaded her fingers with his and leaned her head on his shoulders. Kathir placed his head over hers, both closing their eyes in bliss, wearing the smile the other gave them.

😊 😊 😊

Pandian Stores - New Montage Review

This is my take on the new Promo Montage. A review if you may say so.   The seven lead characters, all happy, posing in front of the crux of the story, their home. Though the picture or the final freeze frame shows only that, the few seconds video as well as the frame by itself is the reflection of each character and their whole personality, so different, yet same. Sathyamoorthy Anna - The head of the family. In the center. His rightful place. He is the axis. Dhanam anni to his left, for she is his heart, his conscience. Kanna, the kadaikutty closer to the leader for he will forever be sheltered/ protected.  Though Moorthy resting his hands on Dhanam's shoulder looks simple, it shows that he always leans on her for support.  Dhanam is his strength yet his weakness. The video shows her smiling at Mullai for she unintentionally impacted her life and is now happy, it turned out well. Dhanam here looks contend and blissful.  ...

Puridhal - FF Part 2 - 1

Puridhal Chapter 1 Pic Courtesy: @kathirmullai_captures (This is taking place on the night of 26 th Nov) Kathir sat in his room, his back to the wall, legs stretched in the front. His eyes were closed and on closer look one can find a serene, calm smile, albeit a tiny one playing on his lips as he leaned his head on the wall. His mat, pillow and sombu were at their designated place, ready for their master. 😊 His mobile was playing melodies of 90’s but none of it registered on his mind, for he is beyond elated inside, hardly any reflection to the normal visible eyes. He re-played the day he had starting from the time, he gathered courage and called her up. Mullai! His Rosapoo! ***** Memories of the Day’s events ***** Kathir and Mullai stayed in their blissful state, unaware of the ungodly hours or their postures which on normal situation will surely be uncomfortable, or the prevailing climate, which is quite cold after a good rain. Her grip on h...

Puridhal - FF Part 2 - 10

Puridhal Chapter 10 Pic Courtesy: @kathirmullai_captures *********KM room – Present time************ Kathir sat thinking how to go about the last leg of his surprise plans as well as where to start and how to go about clearing the misunderstandings and miscommunications they have had so far. He knows it’s a long list and it cannot be sorted in a single talk or over the night. But, he wants to get started at some point, and today seems like a good day to set things in motion. If they wish to start living their life as husband and wife, in all sense of the word, it’s very important to clear the air before moving on further. He needs to know and understand her, for their life to be happy. She needs to know and understand him, for their life to be peaceful. Postponing or rushing through it all is not going to help in the long run, and this is a lifetime commitment. Till death do them apart. He may be the man in love, but he is also a very sensible and practic...

There was a missed call notification light on her mobile. But who would be calling her at this time of the night? She is tired of waiting for his call. She did not check the phone and decided to move near the window to look outside when her phone rang once again. She turned to look at the caller and her heart stopped beating for a second Has the earth stopped rotating? She found it really hard to breath!
