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.

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

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.
