Meanwhile at Mullai’s Home

Parvathy is sitting in the hall and making preparation works for dinner. Mullai is by her side and helping her. She keeps looking at her mobile from time to time.

 Parvathy: Mulla… Mappila unna nalla parthukararila? Anga unnaku onnum prechanai ilaye?

Mullai: Ila ma. Enna avaru romba nalla parthukarar. Naan dhan apo loose madhri edhavudhu sollidaren.. senjudaren… apo kooda avaru porumaiya enna, eadhunu ketutu dhan pesuraru.

Even though the answer felt truthful, Mullai was not happy or joyous when saying all this.. It confirmed Parvathy’s suspicion of something being wrong between the couple.

Parvathy: Unnaku anga neraya velai irukuma? Rest eduka mudiyuma?

Mullai: Appadi onnum perusa velailam ila ma. Akka ve ellam senjuruvanga. Naan kooda kaiku irupen. Avlo dhan. Mathapadi Kadai vishiyam, Maama, ivuga, kanna ippadi ellam poga vara irukaradhunala eppavum busy ya irukum.

She decided to probe a little, so as to guide her daughter in the right direction if need be. She has concluded from everything that happened since the couples’ arrival that it has to be sorted between themselves and no 3rd person should be involved. But that doesn’t mean she can’t be a catalyst.

Like her husband, she too has a work to do for their daughter’s happy life.

Parvathy: Amma kita konjam koova padama badhil solluviya? Unnalladhuku dhan naan ketpen nu unnaku theriyum la!

Mullai: Enna ma?

Parvathy: Unnaku anga kaasuku kashtam ah da? Adhane Moothiratha vikka ponna?

Mullai: Amma. Adha pathi dhayavu senju ipo pesadha ma. Aana onnu ma. Athatchi ya konjam thaliye vai. Nambinadhu ellam podhum.

Parvathy: En ma appadi solra? Nee anga kashta pata ennaku theriyanum la. Kekka aal ila nu andha Dhanam nenachida koodadhu da.

Mullai: Akka voda unnaku appadi enna dhan ma prechanai? Envo ma… Aana athatchi ya nambadha.

Mullai was reminded of the whole humiliating scenario. This again led to Kathir’s care and affection towards her, continued by her efforts for buying him the gift and buying the gift itself. His excitement and expression of gratitude for the gift, which brought tears to Mullai’s eyes.

Parvathy observed the changing emotions on Mullai’s face. This once again confirmed her suspicion that it’s a husband-wife issue. She decided to guide Mullai in a subtle way possible.

Parvathy: En Mulla… Mappila phone panninara?

Mullai: Ila ma. Nethu dhana vitutu ponaga.

Parvathy: Inniku kupidalaya?

Mullai: Pagal nerathula Kadai la avlo velai irukum. Ipo Pudhu kadai velai vera sernthiruku.

Parvathy: Nee koopida vendiyadhu dhana?

Mullai: ila ma.. avagaluku velai nerathula disturb panna suthama pudikaadhu.

Parvathy: Pondatti phone pannuradhulam oru thondharava da? Ennava venum naalum irukatum.. Nee avaruku koopitu rendu vaarthai pesu. Seriya?

Mullai: Hmmm… seri ma… ( She said this very faintly)

Parvathy decided to divert the topic a little, but still stay with the family itself,
Anniki unna koopida unga appa vandhutu, avlo sandhosam avaruku…
“Mappillai ku mullai ya vitu iruka manusu ila.. Adhunala naan kootitu varla.
Enna avaru vaai niraya Maama nu koopitar nu”………

Parvathy went on talking… But Mullai has tuned her out on the reminder of not having spoken to Kathir for almost two days. It hurt her s bad, she was finding it hard to breath. She wanted to cry, wanted to scream, but was not able to do. The one person to whom she has opened up of her emotions for the past couple of months, is the one who is avoiding her, not wanting her.

Unknowingly he has become her friend. Close friend. Best friend. Only friend. Now that she thinks of it, he had been her only solace in all the trauma this past year.

Her eyes welled up. She stared at her phone.

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...

He hasn’t shared it with Parvathy. It’s a special day tomorrow and he wants it to be a happier one for his only child. He many not have money, but that is not going to stop him in making it a memorable one. His little girl has suffered enough in this past year, and let this be a new beginning for her.

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! The caller Name displayed as “MY SUN “ with a heartbeat emoji at the start and end. M: h..h… hello!! Kathir was so happy and relieved in hearing her voice that he forgot to speak for a few seconds.
