Mullai was
roused from her musings when she felt her fingers being threaded with another set
of strong and lean fingers. She turned to find her husband smiling at her, serenely.
It felt so normal to sit near him, take his arms or hold his hands. Though this
has started just now, it felt as if they have been this way all their life, no
odd feelings or an ounce of doubt surfaced, surprising her.
That smile directed at her from him set 1000s
n 1000s of butterflies in her, yet somehow calmed her, gave her the confidence
that they are going to have a great life together.
M: Indhaangha!
( And offered the Paal Paniyaram she brought with her)
Kathir took
the spoon and had one small piece, offering the cup to Mullai
Indha.. Nee
Saapidu!
M: Ila
Paravailangae..
K: mmmm…
Indha.. ( He picks a piece out onto the spoon and offers her)
Mullai was
simply mesmerized and her eyes once again clouded.
Kathir
noticed this. In order to change the way things are proceeding, he placed the
cup in her hand and asked her to eat it. He is uncomfortable when he sees her

Mullai
wanted to speak, but is not sure of where to start. Kathir felt her distress,
and in order to calm her, took her palm and started drawing soothing circles
softly at the back of her hand. She instantly relaxed.
M: Thanks

M: Ennakagha
inniki neenga evlo pannirukeegha! Appappa… Naan konjam kooda ethir pakkala…
K:
Sandhosama?
M: Romba
sandhosam gha.. Appadiye Aagayathula parakara madhri iruku!
Kathir was
happy to see her childish excitement and delight.
K:
Pidichiruka?
His tone
was soft, yet there was something in the way he said that made her take a pause
and notice him. His deep, soul searching looks were pinned on her and it set
her soul on fire.
She
answered truthfully.
M: Romba
pidhichiruku!
After a
split second, she threw him a million-dollar smile and took his arms, leaning
once again on
his shoulders, closing her eyes and savoring the moment.
Both sat in
silence, relishing the comfortable silence, as their heartbeats tuned in rhythm
with one another.
