Anbum Aranum Udaiththaayin

"Enna da solra?", Kathir ask him at sudden shift of topic.

"Unnaiyum Mullai anni pathi than", Kanna mumbles quietly looking at the door, to keep the conversation between the two of them.

"Nee enna solranu puriyala da", Kathir acted naïve not wanting to get his little brother involved in any mess he was creating and later be blamed by his family.

"Unaku Mullai anni'a pudichu irukunu theriyuma? Illa adhaiyey naan than modhala solrena?", Kanan raises an eyebrow

Kathir was surprised to know if he was that obvious. At the same time, he did not want to drag Mullai into it, when she felt nothing towards him.

"Edhaivadhu olaru. Seri poi thungara velaiya paaru"

"Anne! ", Kanna sounded too serious that Kathir could no longer push him away.

"Nee Mullai anni indha veeta vitu ponna aparam yepadi irundhanu naan pathu irukean. Dhadi vazhathu, veetuku kuda seriya varama..", He trailed wanting to repress those painful days for everyone in the house.

"Ipo elam nee evalavu sirikara theriyuma? Nee ipadi elam irupenu kuda enaku theriyudhu. naan pathadhum illa", chocking a little.

"Anaiku Jeeva anne kalyanathu apo, Nenga rendu perum kai pudichutu ninadhayum parthean. Anni'a yarum edhuvum solida kudadhanu nee yepadi patharinenu parthean. Adhu matuma? Anni kuda photo elam yedutha. Namba kathir annanu irunduchu enaku. Jodi porutham pramadham", trailed off smiling to himself.

"Anni mela ivalavu akaraiyum pasamum iruku. Idhu verum natpu illanu unaku puriyudhanu theriyala"

Kanna noticed Kathir was getting restless now. He was not sure if Kathir realized his love for Mullai yet or if he needed more time. At the same time, he wanted Kathir to realize his feelings before it's too late.

"Annikum unna pudikudhunu than nenaikarean", Kanna confessed his heart.

"Odha vanga pora", Kathir said though internally he was debating if what Kanna said could ever be true.

"Naan enna poiya sonean? Rendu perum yepadi sirichu sirichu pesarengaley!"

"Elai, ava elar kitayum than sirichu pesuva", he debated more with his heart rather than with Kanna.

"Un kuda irukarapo Anni sandhosama sirichutu irukanga. Palaya Mullai anni pakara mathiri iruku..." Kanna answered happily feeling content.

"Anne", he says, his voice soft as he sits next to him so that he can face Kathir again.

"Anni'kum unna pudikudhunu than nenaikarean. Nee pesi paaru. Nenga rendu perum sandhosama irukanumnu aasai padarean anna "

When Kanna noticed Kathir being lost in his thoughts,

"Unaka idhu elam oru naal puriyum. En anna'na irundhutu avalavu dhadhiya iruka matenu nambarean"

"Edhu!!!", Kathir asked raising his voice but a smile forming on his lips. "En pesa matta nee. Nee elam enaku advice panra nelamaiku vanduduchu"

"Thambi'ku ivaalvu arivanu poramai anne unaku", Kanna raises his eyebrow playfully.

"Kavala padadha, un arivu therana naan vazhakarean" and patted Kathir's shoulders lightly and Kathir could not help but burst into laughter.

Kathir smacked him in his arm "Padikaradha thavira elam pannu. Po da"

Kanna winces "Edho nee settle aana, en line clear agumnu patha, vida matta pola"
