(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 his hands grew tighter from time to time and her breathing started to get deeper. She is going to fall asleep anytime. Unwillingly, he woke her.

K: Ey….  Eyyy…. (Softly)

M: (Blinks her eyes) Ennngaaaa?

K: Naa… Naan Kilumbren. Nee poi thoongu…

M: mmhhhmmmm…. Onnum vendam.. Irunga! Naan onnum thoongalayae!

Kathir simply smiled at her childish antics. This is all new to him. He had always been realistic and practical, but right now he doesn’t want to leave her as well. But he knows he got to leave and so, he proceeded to convince her.

K: Ey… indha…

Mullai kept shaking her head in no, all the while not raising her head from his shoulder.

K: Mullah….. (He whispered)

She did not oblige.

K: Mullai! (This time he called out clearly and firmly)

She slightly raised her head and her eyes were cast down, a little upset. She also had an adorable little pout.

Kathir placed his right palm on her left cheek and slightly raised her head.

K: Inga Paaru! Nee ipo poi thoongu… Naan Veetuku poren. Kalaila seekiram enthiruchu thayaar aagi, andha aala maram stop vandhudu! Veetla yaaraiyum thondharavu panna vendam seriya! Naama koviluku poitu, apparam naan kadaiku poikaren. Seriya? (He smiled at her)

M: Hmmmm…. Seringa…. ( She shook her head as yes)

K: haan… apparam…. Nalaiku… Nalaiku….. (He hesitated)

M: Ennaga? Nalaika? Apo enna?

K: ila… koviluku poitu… appadiyae…. Adhu! Adhu seriya varadhu ila… ?!

M: mmmm…. Edhunga? Ennaku onnum puriyala!

K: Nee… Namma… Namma veetuku epo vara?!

He looked at her with such vulnerability, she fell in love with him, all over again.

M: Ippave kootitu poogha mudiyaadha ungalala?!

She said this while looking at him, leaning a little more into his touch,  bringing a smile to his lips.

He gestured with his headshake as an yes.

K: Poi thoongu… Naan ipo kilamburen. Nalaiku pagalla vandhu namma veetuku naane kootitu poren.

He dropped his hand from her cheek and got up to leave when she pulled on the hands they were still holding, making him look at her questioningly.

M: Oru Nimisham gha!

She then proceeded to take her mobile and opened the camera, and sorted the settings to take a picture at night. She once again leaned her head on his shoulders, and he automatically rested his head over hers. She wore a bright smile while he had a serene and shy smile gracing his lips. Thus Kathir and Mullai posed for their first willing couple shot.

They started downstairs, careful not to make noise and he took extra care of not letting her slip n fall, all the while both holding hands. She let him out the gate, thus unwillingly letting go of his hand. Ash he started to walk, She called him out…

M: Ennanga!

K: Hmmm… Enna?

M: Veetuku poitu call pannunga!

K: Naan poikaren… Nee poi thoongu!

M: Ila.. Neenga call pannunga.. Naan thongaren.. Adhuvaraikum wait pannuven…

K: Sonna keka matiya?

M: Mudiyadhu gha… Konjam call pannungalen.. Please..

K: Seri.. Ulla po. Medhuva, Jakiradhaiya, vizhama po. Seriya?!

She blushed and said her affirmation and Kathir started walking towards his vehicle, his heart light, his thoughts blissful.
