The Tea Trail

Sila Nyaayangal

Moorthy raised his hand on Jeeva..knowing fully well that Meena was arriving at the scene

Meena : maamaa..pothum Niruthunga

The entire family had assembled at the hall

Moorthy looked around..the stage was set..the next 1 hour would be ugly he knew but he hoped that at the end of it the air would clear up

He stood keeping fingers crossed

L amma : ellam ivalaala thaan..joram vantha mathiri nadippu..ethukku nadikkanum

Jeeva : Meena nee ithulla thalai idaatha

Meena : nee summa iru Jeeva..amaam athai poi sonnen thaan..thappu thaan..en kovam emaattram ithe eppudi kaamikkarthunnu theriyaama thaan appudi senjen

L amma : appudi ennamma unakku kovam..emaattram

Meena : 2 naal athai..2 naal ukkantha edathu vittu enthirikkaama packet pottom..kadasila 100/- kudutharu..athu entha vithathula nyaayam

Dhanam : athu enna sontha veetla velai panna kaasu kekkarthu

Mullai : kaasu naanga kekkalai..kudukkarennu maamaa vaa thaan sonnaaru..

Dhanam : avar sonna vendaamnu solla arivu ungalukku enga pochu..

Meena : ippudiyaavathu kaila oru naalu kaasu paarthuda maattomaangara nappasai thaan..

L amma : amaam pathi maasathulaye kudutha kaasellam selavazhichuttu ippo veettu velai seyya panam kelu nalla irukku..

Meena and Mullai looked at Dhanam..but she offered no explanation..

Moorthy was also looking at Dhanam and truth be told he was disappointed with her for not clarifying the truth..but he struck to his decision..this was her fight..he wouldn't say anything..not in her defense and neither to prosecute her..

Meena : yen athai neenga kalyanam aagi vantheenga ille appo joint family ah

L amma : ille..thani kudithanam thaan..yen kekkura..

Mullai : hmm athaan athai prachanai..akkavum koottu kuduthanam paarthathu ille..ivvalavu naal prachanai ille..aana ippo puthusa naanga 2 per vanthu irukkom engalukkunnu thevaigal irukkum ille..

Dhanam : enna 2 perum koottu serareengala..intha veetla ithu thaan pazhakkam..ippudi thaan iruppom..athe maathikka mudiyathu

Meena : neenga seyyarthu ellam avvalavu serinnu thonichunna ippo athai kettaanga ille..paathi maasathulaye kudutha kaasa selavazhuchittiyaannu..solla vendiyathu thaane kaasu kudukkarthu ille nu..intha maasam mattum ille entha maasamumnu

Moorthy rejoiced..there the crux of the issue was out there..he knew it was not just his wife's fault..each and every one standing there were at fault..but he kept silent

Dhanam : athu..kaasu kudukkaatta enna..venungara porul vaangi kudukkarom ille..marupadiyum soldren ithu thaan intha kudumba pazhakkam..maathikka mudiyathu

L amma was a little shocked..she realised that maybe she didn't know the whole issue..she decided to watch the whole thing unfold without being judgemental..or playing favourites

Kathir : anni appudi namma solla mudiyathu..yen neenga varathukku munnadi inga vera pazhakka vazhakkangal irunthuchu..neenga vantha appuram ellathayum maathikkitteenga..naanga anumathichom..neenga panna maatrangalla mathichom..athe mathiri innikku ivanga rendu per vanthu irukkaanga..ivangalukku maatram thevai paduthu..ella maatrathayum othukka mudiyathu aana kaathu kuduthu thevai ennangartha kekka kooda maattomna enna artham..ithu enna kodungol aatchiya.. kudumbam thaane
