********* Earlier in the Day ***********

Kathir’s Mobile alarm rang out at around 4.45 in the morning, rousing him for the day. He blinked back his sleep and woke feeling a sense of calmness. For few minutes he was in a state of confuse of the earlier night’s events! Then he remembered promising to take Mullai to temple. With a smile, he started getting ready for an exciting day.

He got ready in the trousers and shirt she purchased for their Kodaikanal trip. He again chose the blue shirt, that he wore for their cycle ride and remembered the blissful time they had. That was the first time they actually had a relaxing time with each other, in such a close proximity, that they took willingly. He did truly enjoy the time he rode around the lake with her seated in front of him.

K: (to himself..) Cycle irundha andha madhri Pogalam.. Namma kita vandi dhana iruku! Indha Kanna paya cycle otalam la. Namma inniki edhuthukitu poga vasadhiya irundhirukum…

Aiyo Kathiru.. Neram Aagudhu… Poda.. Kilambu! Ava wait pannuva! Adhuku vera pakkam pakkam ma pesuva…

He got ready and left the house, once again through the back door. He pushed his vehicle a little away from his house without starting, all the while calling her up.

M: Good Morning nga! Ezhuthuteeyala?

K: Naan Kilambiten..

M: Apo naan vandhuren nga ipo!

K: Iru ma… Solradha konjam muzhusa thaan kelean!

M: mmmm… Sollunga!

K: Nee kilambitiya?

M: Ready nga…

K: Seri… Naan Aalamaram stop ku vandhutu phone panren… Nee apo veetla irundhu vaa… Seriya! Ippavae vandhu veliya.. thaniyalam nikka vendam! Unnaku dhan bayam la?

M: Bayam lam onnum ilenga… Inga lam veedu dhana!

K: Naan Vandhu kopidaren.. Apparam veliya vaa.. Puriyudha?

M: Saringa!

K:Vaikaren….

M: mmmm…

He reached the spot he mentioned, stopped his vehicle safely and started walking towards her place. Once he was near to her entrance, he called her up and asked her to come out. As she came out the gate, she was surprised to see him standing outside, waiting for her. Looking from the entrance of their house, no one would know he was there!

He gestured for her to walk by, and started walking along side her, putting a little distance between them. Once they reached the spot where he has parked the vehicle, he started the vehicle and let Mullai climb the pillion seat.

She happily sat behind him, taking hold of his right shoulder with her right hands. He placed his left palm over her right hand on his shoulder, giving it a slight pressure, to let her know his liking of her hold. She smiled. He turned his head to his left,  gaining her attention, asked
Pogalama?

M: Pogalanga.

K: Nalla Utkanthu iruka la?

M: Aamamga.

They reached the temple in around 10 mins. After purchasing some garlands and pooja items to offer to the god, he got her some Jasmine length as well as a single red rose, to go with her outfit, which was an red saree. She happily took what he offered and wore it. It was relatively early and the crowd was less. They prayed in peace.

Kathir and Mullai sat at the mandapam for some time , neither speaking. Mullai, bored of the queit, started

M: Enga?! Ipo namma veetuku pogalam la?

K: Ipo ve va?

M: Apparam? Vendama?

K: Ey… Unga amma, appa kita lam solanum la… Nee patuku ipave polama nu kaekura?

M: Apo neera enga amma veetuku poi sollitu, naama pogalam… 😃😃

K: ufffff… Adhu konjamavudhu nalla irukuma? Mudhala nee inga vandhadhu, adhuvum naan vandhu unna kootitu inga vandhadhu edhuvume avangaluku theriyaadhu! Ipo poi, naan kilambaren nu solluviya?

M: ☹ ☹

K: Naan unna ipo marupadiyum unga veetla vitutu, kadaiku poitu, konjam neram kazhichu, annan – anni kitalam sollitu unnai vandhu kootitu poren. Seriya?

Nee adhukula un pai pack panniko. Inniki un pirandhanaal vera! Avangalum unkooda konja neram irukanumnu aasai paduvanga la?

M: Saringa. Epo varuveenga?

K: Vandhudaren… Inniki enna aanalum, nee namma veetuku vandhuduva. Puriyudha? Vaa.. Ipo kilambalam. Neeram aagudhu Paaru!

M: mmmm… Vaanga..

K: Ey… Apparam…

M: Ennanga?

K: Nejamaave unnaku… en mela endha kobamum ilaya? Edhuvum ketka vendama?

M: Kobam ellam edhuvum ilenga. Neraya ketakanum. Neraya solanum. Aana, inga adhu mudiyadhu. Kandipa kobam ilenga!

K: Seri.. Veetla.. Veetuku poi.. nee kelu! Ketkanum… Naanum siladhu ketkanum! Solanum.

 M: Inniki edhuvum kidaiyadhu… ellam wait pannatum… adha pathi ipo edhuku pesurenga.. Naan porumaiya ketukaren… Neenga ketalum.. inniki ennaku pirandhanaal.. adhanala naan endha badhilum solla maten…

K: Appadiya? Matha naal lam solliduviyaa?

M: Ennanga.. Orandu izhukareengala?

Kathir narrowed his eyes at her, yet there was a smile playing on his lips,

M: Pogalam nga.

She dragged him with her, making him laugh and go along as she wished.

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 - FF Part 2 - 5

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 - 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 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.
