Nyaabagam Varuthe

Naan Pesa Ninaippathellam

Mullai extended her hand curiousity getting the better of her

Ennathu she asked and the next instamt her eyes widened

Neenga yen..ithu eppudi ungalukku she stuttered

Kathir thought back to earlier that day

He had reached the shop and in a while both his brothers had left for pending outside work

He had been at the shop with his Kumaresan maamaa and Saravana

They had also left when there was a delivery order that came and there was an opportunity to combine a couple of orders

Kathir sat listening to a song on the radio

A lady arrived with a long list to pack ..Kathir switched off the radio and went about getting the stuff on the list when another customer arrived ..

Akka oru nimisham ka ithu mudichuttu varen he said

Molla va pa..onnum prachanai ille

And Kathir continued his work

The 2 ladies apparently knew each other and soon started chatting with each other

Enna shenba...eppudi irukka

Nalla irukken ka..neenga ..

Enakku enna Nalla irukken..nee konjam tired ah therinja ..athaan ketten

Amaam ka enna nnu theriyale..ippo ellam romba tired ah irukku..romba thookkam varuthu..sappittu kitte irukken...ippudiye pochunna gundaaga poren..

Both the ladies laughed ..Kathir smiled thinking oorukke intha prachanai irukku pola ..his thoughts automatically went to his wife

As they waited Kumaresan maamaa and Saravana came back and assisted in serving the ladies

The ladies left with their shopping and Kathir had told his maamaa that he would have a tea and be back..

The 2 ladies were walking ahead of him..and normally for his stride and speed he would have overtaken them..

But something in what they were speaking caught his attention and he slowed his pace down to catch what they spoke..

Udambu paarthukko Shenba..konjam veliri irukka..

Hmm seri ka..avuha kelambitta enakku rest thaane..

Amaam naal ethaachum thalli poi irukka..

Amaam ka..45 naal aayiduchu..enakku eppovume munna pinna thaane ka..

Appudi ellam ajaakkarathaiya irukkaatha..

Engakka mathapadi vayathu perattal athellam onnum ille..venaa paarunga naalaikke ungala paartha vanthuduchunnu solluven..

Ellarukkum ore mathiri irukkanum ille..vayatha perattinaa thaan masakkainnu yaaru sonna..inga konda antha weight ah..naan thookkittu varen..

Akka vidunga kka..

Uthai pada pore nee..kudu inga athe..mothalla poi doctor paaru ..

And the ladies had walked into a bylane

Kathir stood at the tea stall drinking his tea..mulling over what the ladies had spoken..He had butterflies in his stomach just considering the possibility that the same could be true for him and Mullai as well..
