Mullai..En kitta ethaachum sollaama maraikkariya

She froze in her tracks

Just for a moment

Naan poi konjam fresh aagittu varen maamaa she said and walked out

He heaved a sigh

Later before he left to the shop he waited again to see if she would say anything

But she was busy sorting some clothes out

Naan ketta kelvikku bathil sollale he asked

Appudi ellam onnum illenga Maamaa came the curt reply

He saw it for the blatant lie that it was

But he also understood her curtness..his behaviour the night before was not exactly exemplary

Well he was not ready to apologise for it..but was decent enough to acknowledge it to himself at least

He decided to drop the topic for now

Naan kadaikku kelambaren he said

Tea nga maamaa she asked

Ille venaam..

Tea kooda kudikkaama eppudi

Kudikkalennu yaaru sonna..6 manikke enthurichutten..anni kuduthaanga kudichutten

Oh..was all she said

And he walked out

She stood sorting the clothes out her eyes welling up of their own

Once she finished she stepped out

To find the brothers still on the sofa

Sipping tea

Yen pa ippo thaan tea kudikkiriya L amma was asking

Kathir looked up to see Mullai walking towards them

Amaam ma..anni kaiyaala tea kudichuttu pona naal summa nalla surusuruppa irukkum athaan

She was hurt he could see

He smirked

But the truth was what felt like a victory in that moment left him very distracted the whole day

Mullai spent the day fretting

Naan unne Theeraa nnu kooppida koodathu appudi thaane..irukkattum..Munna naan maamaannu kooppitta appudi kooppidaatha nnu neethaane sonna..maamaa maamaannu koopidaren..neeye kaduppaagi enna nirutha solluva

En kaiyaala oru tea kooda kudikka maattiyo..paravaala irukkattum..moonu velaiyum en kaiyaala naan samaichu tharathayum saappiduva she challenged him..not out loud but in her mind 

That night when he came back home

She was sitting in the hall reading a book chatting with Meena

On seeing the men arrive Meena stood up and left with Jeeva

Moorthy went to his room to freshen himself up

Kathir and Mullai were left alone

Mullai stood up looking at him

He stood looking at her

Maybe he was trying to gauge if she was alright

And he kicked himself

Nee avalukku onnum kedaiyathu nee oru tea kudikkalennu oru naal fulla ukkanthu maruguvaannu vera unakku nenaippa he ridiculed himself

Loosu payale po poi fresh aagittu sotha thinnuttu padukkara vazhiya paaru he told himself and walked in
