Chapter 8 - Naming Ceremony

Rajavel was settled on the easy chair surrounded by others who had a worried face looking at who was silent from the moment they started from the temple.

Yamuna: yenga ipadiya ukanthu iruntha enna ga artham... elunthu vanga.. konjam aachu sapdunga..

Rajavel just nodded a no.

Thayagu: anna neenga sapdalanu yarum ah innum sapdala na.. pasanga ella sapdama irukanga..

Rajavel looked at the cousin's gang and sighed.

Rajavel: neenga ella poi sapdunga..

Nandhini: illa appa neenga antha tha sapduvom..

Rajavel walked to her and caressed her hair: sona kekanum ellarum poi sapdunga.. na vantharan.. Latha ellaraiyum kutitu po ma..

She nodded and took them out of the room.

Rajavel: Paapa enga? He referred to Maya.

Yamuna: Kovil la irunthu vanthathum room pona innum varala..

Rajavel silently looked upstairs while Yamuna placed her hands on his shoulders in assurance.

Yamuna: bayapadathinga... Avuru sonatha Ava tha nambala illa..

Rajavel: nambala ana.. Ava yen ethum ah pesama mela poita?

Yamuna: yenga Ava kalaila irunthu tired ah iruka athu nala tha poi irupa..

Rajavel: illa enna sonnalum.. enala ethuka mudila... avuluku ethu therinja enna veruthuruva nu bayanthano.. atha avuluku therinjurucha ma..

Yamuna: yenga Ava atha nama mata.. avuluku theriyatha ungala pathi... athu illa athu unmaiya illaya..

Rajavel: enaku theriyatha ethu unmai nu..

Moorthy: Ella antha Jayaraj nala vanthathu... theva illama pesi.

Suganthi: yenga enaku athu tha purila.. enna tha mama ku avuruku agala nalu.. intha mari open ah kamichatha illaya.. apram yen inaiku panaru..

Thayagu: athu pathi Visarichachu Mathini..

Rajavel looked at with a frown.

Thayagu: Jayaraj oda thangachi payan irukan illa.. Murali.. Avan yaro kita poi vambu pani irukan.. avunga nala sathi anupi irukanga.. enga avana adichathu namalo nu ninachu tha.. inaiku apdi pesi irukan..

Yamuna: Avan engayo poi adi vangitu vantha.. nama enna thambi panuvom..

Thayagu: athu illa Mathini...

Rajavel: enna aachu nu solu Thayagu..

Thayagu: illa anna nethu kalaila Maya car repair agi nikum pothum.. Antha payan prechana pani iruka.. Maran the poi samathanam pani kutitu vanthu irukan.. atha oru Vela nama pani irupamo nu ninachu.

Rajavel's face changed from a guilty to a angry one when he heard Maya was in trouble.

Rajavel: Nama pasanga yarachu.. panagalanu visarichiya?

Thayagu: illa na yarum panala..

Rajavel: veetula..

Thayagu: illa anna.. Aadhavan uruka varala.. Kathir apa mill la irunthan.. Maran uh Akhil uh veetula tha irunthanga.

Rajavel thought for some time and nodded.

Rajavel: vera yaru pananga nu vishari.. apram pesikalam..

Moorthy: seri anna..

Yamuna: yenga Maya kita pesalaya.. she asked when others left and Rajavel turned to leave.

Rajavel: enaku ava kita pesara thairiyam illa ma..
