The Tea Trail

Enakkoru Snehithi..Avalukku Kalyanam (Part 2)

Kathir stood not knowing what to do

Mullai wipes her tears and continues

Mullai : Appuram athu enna sonneenga eppayume un sidelernthu mattum thaan yosippayannu thaane..(she smiled a mirthless smile and heaved a sigh)Athu ennanna neenga oru pakkam naan oru pakkam nu yosikkartha nippaatti romba naal aachu..Naama rendu perum ore pakkamnu naan nenaikka aarambichu konja naal aachu..

Kathir was unable to see her like this

He slowly moved closer..

Kathir: Mullai please..naan nejamaa unna azhavakkanumnu pesala..enna pathi konjam yosi..Pongal ku velila ponom..sandai pottom..enakku thaan thittu vizhunthuchu..thaali pirichu kotha anniikku koil la vittuttu vanthathu..sivarathri night sandai..ippo intha kalyanam ..ellathukum naan thaan asinga paduren

Mullai gave a wry smile through her tears

Mullai : ithu thaan prachanai..ungaloda antha chinna ulagathula enakku eppovume anumathi kedaikkathunnu naan maranthutten...yen manasu unga pakkam sainja udane unga manasum...she trailed off.. intha thappa thaan munnamum seinjen...senja thappaiye marupadiyum seiravanga enna mathiri azha vendiayathu thaan..

Kathir started to say something

Mullai : (wiping her face) illenga azhalai aana solli mudichudaren.. please nga..athaan intha dress pottukkonga, nagai pottukongannu sonnathu ellam avangalukkaaga..athellam nalla irunthutta ungala ungalukkaaga paarppaanga ille..athaan..ellarum unga padippayum thozhilayum mattume vechu edai podarthu romba kashtama irukku..athukku pinnadi irukkara ungaloda pala nalla gunam yaarukkume theriyarthu ille...ungaloda porumai, amaithi, ellarayum mariyathaiya nadathura gunam ellame...athe ellam maraikkarthu neenga podara thuni thaan na athe yen maatha koodathunnu yosichen avvalavu thaan...mathapadi enakku avamaanamnu yosichu ille...Athu neenga oru azhagaana vaarthai onnu sonneengale ennathu mun mudivu...antha mun mudiva maatha mattum thaan...

After this lengthy monologue Mullai paused and thought as if ticking off from an imaginary list and after thinking for several seconds she nodded her head as if to indicate she was done..

Mullai : avvalavu thaanga naan pesi mudichutten..Thoongalaanga..

Kathir who had the empty sombu in his hand started to walk out of the room to bring water..

Mullai hurriedly stopped him from behind..

Mullai : innum ore oru vishayamnga..munna pesumpothu enakku ungala pidikkathunnu sonneenga ille athu romba periya thappu..appudi ellam illenga..she trailed off...
