The Tea Trail

Nee sirithal thaan en Deepavali

[A/N : just to set some expectations straight..the MU track will continue as is per the series..an open heart to heart will also not happen just like the series..it will all culminate during thai poosam where I intend stopping T3...but will leave it open so I can reboot it for a season 2 sometime later..I started T3 that way to follow the original PS plotwise and hence this approach..please please unga expectations ithe line la align pannikkonga..pretty please..but it will not be a sobfest..I promise that]

Kathir sat in the shop for a while

He couldn't believe that he actually did something so vindictive

Unable to contain himself he did the next best thing to correct it..

He could heave a sigh of relief only after

At home he continued being distant with Mullai

A few days before diwali, Ashok and his family had come home to invite the PS clan for the wedding..

Moorthy had been home when they came..

Moorthy : romba santhosham nga..vaara naalaa pochu..ellarum vara mudiyaattiyum Kathiraiyum Mullaiyum anupparom

They insisted that everyone should come..spoke for sometime and then left

Mullai sat thinking..and in her heart she knew Kathir might say no to coming to the wedding..he had not been himself the past few days

And that night in their room

Mullai : yenga innikku Kaaraikudi lernthu maamaa, athai, Ashok ellam vanthu irunthaanga..ithu kalyana pathirigai

Kathir stood still for some time..heaving a huge sigh he took the card

Kathir : oru 2-3 naalukku munnadi nyaabagappaduthu..koottittu poren

Mullai searched his face for clues..for why he was like this..

Kathir : light anaikkuren

Mullai : hmm seringa

She wanted to ask him if everything was alright..

But the room was plunged into darkness with a click

Both of them lay down to sleep but sleep eluded them that night

And soon it was Diwali

Early that morning Mullai had her bath and came wearing the saree he had chosen for her..

She looked a vision

Kathir actually stood speechless

Mullai looked at him expectantly..after all he had chosen this for her

But to her dismay Kathir left the room without a word..

Mullai MV : intha saree unakku nalla irukku Mullai nnu sonna thaan ennavaam..muthu uthirnthudum pola..

But outside in the hall everyone was upbeat..

The festive spirit and all that

So she joined in in the fun

There were a lot of photos and selfies that were being taken..

Kathir had just finished dressing up..

He realised that Mullai had chosen a dark grey silk shirt for him that complimented the silver detailing on her saree..

Mullai : enga vaanga namma oru photo edukkalaam..

Kathir : ippo venaam..appuram edukkalaam..and he went to the room

A few minutes later

He emerged out in his everyday clothes
