Kathir had been observing Mullai
Her shenanigans were not lost on him
The lying and plotting was obvious
And frankly was getting on his nerves
His 2 annis and his wife were in cahoots all the time
And he knew they were not planning any pleasant surprise either
And to add to his suspicions Aishu was constantly questioning them and they were constantly shushing her and snapping at her
It was then that Mullai had suddenly told him that she had always dreamt of writing government exam and landing a government job
What's more she had the audacity to meet him in the eye and lie to him that she had voiced this many times in the past and he had not paid attention
He..who hung on to every word she spoke
He let it slide
The 3 ladies had actually gone to Trichy based on that lie for a whole week
He had paid them a surprise visit while they were there
Mullai was anything but happy
In fact she had been very keen on making him leave back home
When he said he will meet his anni and then leave..she had panicked big time
Kozhanthainga disturb aayidum..3 kozhanthaingala vechu kittu akka thaan kashta padanum the list of lies had gone on
He even stopped questioning her further only because he couldn't stand the lies anymore
After she refused his offer to drop her at the exam centre he had left back to Kunnakudi
But when they arrived back home and his anni complained of a summer boil he had become alert..she claimed that she couldn't even lift her hand..so much so that it was Mullai who sprang to action whenever his newborn neice cried
On a hunch he paid the doctor, who operated on his anni for delivering her baby, a visit
And got all the information from her
The emergency C Section had been a drama as well
He was livid
He went back home
He waited a few days to see if at least now the ladies would come clean
It was almost a week since the women had returned
His athai and maamaa had come home to play with their grand daughter
Vaanga athai vaanga maamaa
Ahn maappillai vaanga..unga ponna paarunga..bokka vaaya vechukittu eppudi sirikkaraa Murugan preened
Kathir smiled a very terse smile
Dhanam's baby cried then
Mullai hurried to lift it
Dhanam sat put
En anni
Enna da
Mathavanga pullai ellam odi odi valappeenga unga pullai azhuvuthu asangaama irukkeenga Kathir said
Ahn athu Dhanam looked flustered
Yenga akka ku innum antha katti seriya aarala..athaan naanum Meenavum strict ah solli irukkom avanga weight thookka koodathunnu
Oh seri seri..unakkum operation senja udambu thaane..avuha thookkuvaaha..nee ukkaaru he said
Naan thookkitten irukkattum..akka kozhanthai azhuvuthu ille vaanga she urged Dhanam
