“Vaangha
Mapillai! Vaangha”
Mu: Ammadi
Mulla… Enna silaiyaatam nikirava? Mapillai vandhu irukaaru, nee vaanghanu kooda
sollama moorachikitu iruka?
M: Appa…
Adhu.. Adhu…
K: Varen…
Maama…
(Looks at
Mullai and silently, so only she could hear)
Ulla…
Pogalama?
M:
Pogalam.. Pogalam.. mmmhmmm (Similar silent way)
Mu: Po
maa.. Poi maapillaiku kudika thani eduthutu vaa.. Appadiye unga ammava vara
sollu!
K:
Irukatum..
All three
walked into the living area,
Mu: Ukkarungha
Maapillai…
Mullai went
to the kitchen, informed Parvathi of her husband’s arrival and fetched water
for Kathir.
Both Mother
and daughter arrived one after the other, Mullai handing the water to Kathir.
P:
Vaangha.. Veetla ellarum nalla irukaanghala?
K: mmmm…
Nalla irukaangha…
Mu:
Paarvathi.. Mapillaiku tea kondu vaa ma.
Madhiyathuku
enna samayal? Mapillaiku edhavudhu special sei.. Porul venum na sollu .. Naan
poi vaangitu vandhudaren…
K: Ila…
Adhulam onnum vendam… Naan kilambanum. Annan veliyur poi irukaru velaiya..
Kadaila aal ila.
P: Idho 10
nimishathula samaichidaren.. Paathi samayal mudinjidhu… Neengha Mullai kooda pesitu irungha..
K: Innoru
naal porumaiya vaandhu sapidarom... Inniki neram ila… Jeeva anna na kadaiya
paarthuka sollitu vandhu iruken..
Mu: Seri
Parvathi… poi tea potu kondu vaa ma.. pesikite nikkama..
M: Amma..
Nee iru.. Naan poi tea potu kondu varen…
Both
Murugan and Parvathy acted as if they were unaware of reason for Kathir’s
arrival and didn’t show any indication that it’s her birthday. They also didn’t
show that they know about his midnight surprise or morning visit.
Kathir was
not sure if Mullai had informed her parents of her leave. Neither Murugan nor
Parvathi showed any reaction of such knowledge. Even if Mullai has informed, he
felt its his duty to inform them of his purpose of visit. So, he decided to
inform them.
K: Naan
Mullai ya kootitu… Namma veetuku kootitu pogalam nu dhaan vandhen…
Murugan and
Parvathi looked at each other and smiled a knowing smile, but still a secret
one that Kathir couldn’t decipher.
P: Ivlo
seekiram ah va? Vandhu muzhusa rendu naal kooda agalaye?
Mu: Ean ma
.. enna pesura nee? Namma pulla nammakooda irukanum nu nee virupa padalam… Aana
ava veetla ava poi irukaradhu dhana azhaghu…
P:
Irundhaalum…
K: Ila…
Innoru naal naan avala kootitu varen… Ilena… Neengha vena angha vandhu ava
kooda irungalen.. Amma, anni ellam irupaangha! Ammavum sandhosha paduvaangha.
Murugan was
touched by these kind words of Kathir. Even Parvathy was surprised by this calm
and confident, yet kind boy… no man. She has never seen Kathir speak/ address
them this politely. Even as a boy, due to the difference of opinion between the
families, he had been very vocal about his dislike for them.
Parvathy
saw a glimpse of what has impacted her husband and daughter. This strengthened
her hope for her girl’s happy life.
Mu:
Irukatum mapillai.. Varom..
Mullai
arrived with tea for all the four and as she handed each a cup, Parvathy informed
Mullai of the reason for Kathir’s arrival.
K: Enna
phone panni vandhu kootitu poongha nu sollitu, inga onnum sollaliya nee?
M: Adhu..
Neengha ivlo seekiram varuveengha nu naan ethir parkala!
K: Naan
dhan sonnen la… 11.30 maniku mela varen nu…
M: mmmm…
Sonnengha! Sonnengha!
Tea
aaradhukula kudingha..
K:
Kudikarom.. Kudikarom…(Softly)
After few
minutes of comfortable silence between the four, Murugan alerted Mullai to get
ready for her leave.
M: Aan pa..
Bag ready ah than iruku.. Naan perusa onnum kondu varalaye… Idho.. ipo poi
edhuthutu vandhudaren…
Once she
arrived with her bag, they bid goodbye to the elders and took their leave.
