KM ROOM at night

Kathir was sitting on the bed, upset and angry with what's going on in the house between Moorthy and Dhanam.
As much as he felt sorry for Dhanam, his anger towards his brothers, Moorthy whom he worships is equally high.

He couldn't work in the shop looking at his brothers, he couldn't keep calm knowing what Moorthy had done to Dhanam..

He wanted to ask..
He wanted to shout..
He wanted answers..
But he couldn't do any of it...

All he could do was to avoid Moorthy the entire day by going out to send deliveries and collect debts.

Night he came late after everyone slept, as an attempt to avoid dining together.
Mullai was waiting for him, when he came she offered dinner but he denied.
He went straight to wash up and to their room.

She didn't force him to eat knowing he wouldn't budge, so she took a tumbler of warm milk for him after clearing the kitchen, before getting to their room.

There she saw him, seated on the bed, head bowed down..
Looking into nothing...
Mind thinking away about Dhanam's sacrifice for their family..
His somber face..
His tear streaken cheeks...
Spoke volumes..
His eyes kept shedding angry tears..

He heard her coming in and latching their door..
He stood up immediately, about to get his mat..

M : irungge.. Engge poriye... Vakarangge..

K : Illeh.. Nee.. Toonge.. Naa..

M : Illeh... Tookem varle... Vakarangge.. Indangge ithe kudingge...

K: hmm naa than onnum venum venam sonnen leh.. Ithelam eduku.. Unnake sermam thaneh.. Yennalleh neeyum kashta padanuma?

M : Yengge.. Ore tumbler paal kondu vanden... Verum vayathode padekeh vendam...
Neenge madiyimum kude onum sapadeleh..
Ennaku theriyum..

He just looked at her..
Wondering how she knows..

M : appadi paata?
Sapadu kudethu anupuneh ennaku theriyatha?
Neenge sapadelehnu theriyum..

While saying that, she lightly pushed his arms to sit at the bed, which he complied.

K : athu naan thaan sapadelehnu eppadi theriyum?
Saravanan ah irekelam..
Jeeva Annan'ah irekelam..

M : naa kudethu anupuneh omelette appadiye irundechi...
Ellarum saptagha..
Unggele thavare..
Neenge omelette sapedama irenderke maathiyeh..
Aana sapedeleh..
Tiffin carrier leh appadiyeh irundechi..

She was looking at the tumbler at her lap, while whispering this, sitting beside him on the bed.

He couldn't take his eyes from her hearing all this, she knows him so well.
What did he do to deserve her as his wife?
What has he done for her as a husband?
Was he being selfish too?
