Evening at PS House

Meena has just returned home from her job, greeted Lakshmi amma and Dhanam who are in the hall talking.

Dhanam: Vaa Meena. Innikum nadandhu dhan vanthiya? Jeeva va drop panna soli irukalam la?

Lakshmi amma: Ennadhu Nadandha? Ivlo dhooram ah?

Meena: Paravaileenga… Jeeva ku call pannen. Velaiya veliya irukanam. Adhan… Irunga naan poi refresh aagitu vandhudaren.

Dhanam: Coffee podatuma ila tea kudikireya meena? Boost tharatuma? Ipo dhan pudhu bottle vandhudhu!

Meena: Aiyo.. Edhuvum venam ga… Konja neram kazhichu naane potukaren. Neenga Ukkarunga.
Kannan enters the home at that time

Kanna: Kutty anni… appadiyellam solla kudadhu… Anni. Ennaku tired ah iruku! Oru tea, kudave konjam snacks. :D Appadiye Konjam kutty annikum eduthutu vandhudunga.. Paavam. Ilena en kita irundhu pudigikuvanga. :/

Meena puts her hands on her hips and glares at Kannan.

Dhanam hits kanna slightly on the shoulder and goes to the kitchen calling out

Dhanam: Ipo edhuku da avala vambuku izhukara? Adi venum unnaku! Tea ah? Ozhunga Paal kudi.

Meena makes a fun face at Kannan and starts to move, when Lakshmi amma calls out,

L: Mulla.. Inga konjam vaayen.

M: Atha.. Avanga dhan inga ilaye! Marandhuteengala? Sollunga.. enna venum?

L: aamam la. Acho. Naan ula polam nu dhan koopiten

Dhanam comes back with two glasses and hears L’s words

D:  Veedae ennamo madhri iruku .. ila atha! Meenavum, Mullaiyum ilama ennaku dhan onnum oda matengudhu.

M: Mullai kita neenga pesineengala? Epo varangalam?

D: Perusa pesa mudiyala! Chumma nalla irukiyanu mattum ketean. Nee pesuniya meena?

M: Hmmm… inniki lunch break la call pannen. Romba dull ah pesunanga! Epo vareenga nu ketan, Varanum nu mottai ya sonnanga. Kathirum appadi dhan pidi kudukama badhil solrar!

D: Kathir ah? Avan epo un kooda pesinan? Enkita onnume sollale…

M: Avar epoganga en kita pesirukaru? Inniki enna drop pannum podhu Naan ketean. Apo badhil sonar.

D: Idhu epo? Kathir unna drop pannana?

Meena explained the situation and the conversation she had with Kathir before going into the school, after getting dropped.

Meena noticed that Kathir is actually distracted and is kind of more detached than his usual self.

M: Romba Thanks ga.

K: Irukatum … an…. He stops, not knowing meena’s temper. … After few beats, he says… Apo naan kilamburen.

M: Kathir. …

K: Sollunga…

M: Mullaiya epo kootitu varenga?

K: Adhu… ava epo solralo… apo

Meena is actually touched by this answer of Kathir. It was bittersweet and she felt happy for her brother in law and co sister.

M: Call panni pesuneengala?

K: Ila ….

All the while he was struggling with his emotions. Mentions of Mullai brought so much pain to Kathir.

Meena observed Kathir deeply and said in a firm yet kind voice,
M: Koopitu pesunga.

He looked at her for a few seconds and nodded his head.

M: Apparam… Enna anni nu koopidalam… Koochika maaten.

And she smiled at him.

K: Seringa … an..ni!

Dhanam and Lakshmi amma were smiling happily on hearing this truce between Meena and Kathir.

Kanna: Apo inni neengalum sandai poduka mategala? Ennaku bore adikume!

D: Dei… Unna.. Maama varatum.. ellarum sandai podanum na solra!

M: Appadi kelunga.. dei.. naanga onnum sandai lam podala. Chinnadha oru misunderstanding. Ipo adhu seri aagidhuchu! Po.. Poi un naradhar velayae vera engavudhu sei..

K: senjutene… Kalelaiye Mullai anni kita!

D: Enna da panna? Aiyo! Erkanave avanga rendu per mugamum avlo vaadi irundhudhu… ipo nee vera enna da?

Dhanam started panicking and Lakshmi amma was so worried.

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

Puridhal Chapter 5 Pic Courtesy: @kathirmullai_captures *********** Current Time ************ Mullai was clearing the kitchen   for the night. It had been a fulfilling day. She never expected her birthday to turn out into such an wonderful celebration. This is the best birthday and it will remain as her No. 1 Birthday celebration. Her husband, shy and introvert husband, has made it the best day of her life. Not even in her wildest dreams did she think of her day taking such pleasant turns. All thanks to that one man – her man. Her SUN. Her Kathir. She wanted to speak to him, share so much with him, but is not sure, if he will be awake or is willing to share his thoughts? But again, she will share hers. Let him do when he is comfortable. His gesture from late last night to this moment repeatedly proved her, his willingness to share his life with her.  She once again remained herself that he is man of actions than of words. And those words last nigh

Puridhal Chapter 12 Pic Courtesy: @kathirmullai_captures *************Earlier in the day************* It was 11.45 when Kathir finally arrived at his in-law’s place to take his wife back. As guessed by him, she was waiting in the entrance, though was acting all nonchalant. As if he don’t know. She is holding a magazine in her hand, and discreetly checking the gate every other minute. He knows her quirks. All these days he never have given much thought or attention to such things. But right now, it feels different. It’s different. He felt so happy and elated knowing she is expecting his arrival. So, his doubt that there is something missing/ he did misunderstood certain things is proving to be true with everything happening since the night. He will get to the bottom of it at the earliest. Kathir simply loved the whole happenings and decided to play a little with her. Yes. He may never get one more chance like this. If he has an option, he is never sendin

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 Chapter 14 Pic Courtesy: @kathirmullai_captures ***********Earlier in the Day************ Kathir had actually brought the bike instead of his usual TVS 50. Just for today. As he expected, she was pleasantly surprised and expressed the same with her broad smile and an excited… “Ayyyyeeee… Bike la vandhurukeeghala?” K: Aamam.. aamam… M: Ennaiya kootitu poren na? K: (Aagasathula medhakaraloo? Konjam tharailayum kaal irukatum) Saraku delivery kuduka Saravanan vandi venumnu sonnan… adhunala dhaan… Ean? Nee bike la than varuveeyo? M: mmmhmmm… She whispered to herself – Raathri avlo anbha pesitu, kalaila avlo aasai aasaiya nadanthukitu, ipo thirupiyum maram earitaagala? K: Enna anga munumununghara? M: Onnum ilengha… He climbed the vehicle, seated comfortably and took the bag from her, placing it safely in the front.  He once again turned towards her and said, K: Vandhu utkaaru.
