PS Shop – Earlier in the day**********
After his
discussion with Jeeva, Kathir felt lighter and more confident. He thought of
ringing up Moorthy to inform and seek his permission in bringing Mullai home.
But, Moorthy has informed very clearly that he will not be available over the
phone till late evening to both Jeeva and Kathir in the morning itself.
He can
easily seek Dhanam’s guidance, but she will either get too excited or may ask
him wait for Moorthy to return. If such thing happened, he couldn’t not do what
she says. Without giving any thoughts to all this, he has committed to his wife
that he will be there to take her home before noon.
Mullai has already called him and is sending messages from
time to time, though he hadn’t replied yet. He is sure that, by now she
would have informed her parents of her return plan and being one enthu-cutlet,
would be running around in her foyer, waiting for him. If she had her way, she
will be jumping on his vehicle even before he can stop and greet his in laws.
Her excitement this morning is the indication of all this.
She is
happy to return to the house, their home, and is actually looking forward to
come. When he said that she will be returning to her parents’ for some more
time, her face wilted for a few seconds. Kathir felt at peace on knowing her
genuine happiness to return to their place. Even if she didn’t like him, like
his small doubt, that’s quite faint now, she is happy in their house. She is
waiting to return. That’s more than enough for him.
“Inniki
rathri, roomla, ava irupa! Ulla ponna ava mughatha, nejamave paarkalam.
Adhu podhum da Kathiru! “ He placed his right palm over his heart with a smile
on his face with this thought running in his mind.
He has some
small plans to execute for the day, to make it a little more special for her.
No reason. He simply wanted to do those for her. Like Jeeva mentioned it’s a
slow day. Maama and Saravana can manage the shop. If need be, he can return
once he picked her, even with her to the shop.
She does
like visiting the shop. Also, hadn’t there been a new brand of Choco sticks in
the shop that arrived last week? Kanna and Saravana said it was really nice.
Kathir decided that he needs to get some for her.
“Adhan
rathri la kooda Muttaai saapiduvaale! Namaku kooda anniki kuduthaale… Inniki
naama kudukalam… “
After his
talks with Jeeva, he decided to make her happy as much as possible in the way
he knows. If she doesn’t like them, then let her say no. He is ready to accept
it. There are things he needs to speak, yes. But in the meantime, when he is
getting opportunity, why not use it? Her birthday is one such opportunity.
Thinking
all this, he decides to leave to his in law’s place. Suddenly remembering
something, he turns to Jeeva
K: Ama nae…

Kathir
laughed hearing Jeeva’s words along with Jeeva…
K: Seri

J: Kathiru!
Oru Nimisham…
Jeeva goes
near him and hands him some cash.
J:Vachukooda!
Apparam appadiye, neram irundha, mudinja, namma Rajam akka kadai ya paarthutu

Kathir affirmed
Jeeva and left to bring his wife back home.
