(K conversation continues)

K : Annan enna panenaru?
Anni'ode kaadhalayum..
Unmeyana anbaiyum..
Avar suyanalathuku..
Paichikitaru..

He sounded so cold.

M : Akka'ku mattum kulandai illehnu kavalaiya irukangge'nu nenekiringela?
Mama'kum irekumleh...
Unggeleh ellam paatekenom..
Ellarkum ellam kidaikanum...
Athu ellam yosichi thaan..
Ippadi ore mudivu'ku vandereparu..

She had to bring his anger towards Moorthy down..
His coldness terrifies her..

K : thambingge enggele yosicharu...
SERI!
Purithu...
Ore Annan'ah aver sandosathe vithu enggele valatharu..
Athuku ennaku aver mele avlo mariyathai..

Ennaku Annan.. Appa maari'nu..
Hmm...
Annan'ah aver senjithu Thiyagam...
Aana..

(pause)

He turned and looked at her in the eyes and uttered.

K : 'avaruku pullainge venah..
Thambingge thaan pullenge..
Thambinggeleh valakanum..'
Ippadi ellam Avar, Avuruku solleh urumai iruku...
Aana..
Anni'kum sethu mudivu edukeh yaar urumai kudetha?
Anni'ku aasai irukada?
Ithene varsham evelo pechi..
Oor muluke ennalam pesenangge..
Anni'ku evlo valichirkum..

Mullai wanted to calm him..
But failed when he continued...

K : seri! Naange ellam rombe chinna pasanggelah irendum..
Kadaiyum appoh avlo onnum sollikire maari illeh..
Varumanum illeh..
Velai senja thaan kaasu..
Kashthe pattum..

Athu! Appoh!
Anthe ore soolneleileh...
'Kolundei vendam..
Thambingge perusa avutham..
Kudumbam ore nalleh nelaileh varuthum..'
Ippadi ore mudivu eduthurnda..
Righthu..
Tappu illeh..
Aana..
Ippoh thaan ellam perusa ayitumeh..
Kannan college poran..
Kadaiyum ippoh nallah odethu..
Innum yen?!

M : ennangge.. Kova padadingge...

K : kethele... Naa enna panirpe'nu..
THIRUMBI SOLLEREN!
Ippadilam ennaku kashtam Irenderenda..
Unne kalyaname pannirke maaten..
Unne oorei tappa pesere maari vachirke maaten..
Ellam unmeiyum terinji, unne kashthe padathirke maaten..
Unnekagha naa mudivu edethirke maaten..
Unkithe Inthe maari ore thiagathe sathiyama keterkeve maaten..
(pause)
Inthe maadiri naa kekerathu'ku, Nee vere yarayachum kalyanam pannirkelam..
Yenne kalyanam panni, ippadi ellathiyum vithukudethe..
Ethuku?
Unnekenu ore valkay vazhameh..
Ithuku'lam Nee yen othukanum..
Theve illeh..

She held his arms, with tears in her eyes..
Leaned on his shoulders.. and whispered..

M : Aana.. athuku naa manasara othukithe irenda?
Ithulam nadakumnu therinji naa seri'nu sollirnda?
Ellam terinjum neenge thaan venumnu kalyanam panirenda?
Ippadi ore mudivu neenge kalyanam apparum eduthu, athuku Naanum samadichirenda?
'Kollundanangge thaan kolundaingge...
Ithu pothum ennakunu..
Ithu thaan yen valkey..
Ithu thaan ennaku venumnu'
Naa Sollirenda?

He sat there stunned...
All her questions played in his mind..
All her questions played in her mind, too

While uttering the words to him..
She realised she had put herself in Dhanam's shoes..
Though what Moorthy requested to his wife on his wedding day is the most selfish and unfair thing a wife could agree on...
For once, Mullai understood the LOVE Dhanam had for Moorthy...
Dhanam agreed based on the LOVE n Trust she had for Moorthy..
The LOVE and CARE had blinded his Selfish request.
On the scale of life...
Moorthy's Love weighed more than having children on her own..
How ridiculous it sounded to Mullai then..
But if Kathir were to ask something like this..
Would she do it?
