           As New Year is just two days away, sales in the shop are very hectic with pending orders, payments details, delivery, etc. Moorthy requests both Jeeva and Kathir to be here to help him.

Jeeva calls Mullai's dad to explain about the situation.

Je: Maama...eppadi irrunkingae?

Mu: Naan nallae irruken Maaplae...ennae inthae irumal mattum pohae ve mattinguthu...pani kalam verayah...konjam seramumae irruku...

Je: Udumbha pathukongae Maama...Athu vanthu innaki kadailaye konjam velae jasthi athunale ennalaiyo Kathir nalaiyo vara mudiyathu Maama..

Je: Seri Maama...nallathae pochu...

Mu: Aama Maaplae...reception leh parkalam...

Je: Seri Maama..paapom..

He tells this to Moorthy and Kathir..

Mo: Aama da...reception ku vera ponom la.. Neengae ellarum mothalae kelambidunge...Naanum anniyum konjae late ah Amma veh kootitu varom...rombhae naalae veetukullaiyae irrukangae..

Moorthy looks at Kathir expectantly...as though waiting for him to say something.

K: Annae? (Looking at him questioningly)

Mo: Illae eppovume...naan varale, kadaiyae sikkiramae mudae vendam..naan venae kadailae irrunthukirren nu nooru sakku pokku solluviyae...athukku dhan kathuttu irrunthen...

K: Illae illae...inniku ennodae friends ellaraiyum reception leh meet pannuren nu sollirukken..athunale naanum varen..

He leaves for his collection duties.

Jeeva is also happy...this is the perfect place to see Meena...definitely she will be there, her father is usually invited for all functions and today was no exception.

**********

Kathir is so restless....

He is always so proud that he is an excellent worker but that day he can't concentrate on anything.

K MV: Ethanae thadave ithellam padathulae pakkum pothu mattonthattiruppe... anubavi nallae anubavi... Seri ore naalaikku ivloh feel pannuriyeah, avae college ponae perahu ennae seiyaporeh...

His heart tightens at that thought...

It is true...how will he be without seeing her for such a long time?

He doesn't want to think about it at all..

K MV: Pesame avunge veetuku poierae vah...aiyoh...Pillaiyaarpatti Parvathy ange irrupangaleh...avangalukku vera unnae kandalae pudikathu..poie ennanu solluve?

His phone rings...

It is an unknown number...

He picks it up...

It is Anandhi...

An: Kathiru...engae irruke?

K: Ingae dhan market pakkathulae...

An: Asha theater variyae?

K: Ethachom prechanaiyae?

An: Illae...athu vanthu...
