Distance plays Cupid

Oru vela nesamave vandhurukkahala?

She walked towards him, taking slow, nervous yet excited steps.
There was a good one-arm's length distance between them when she stopped.

Enna apdiye nikkuragha? Oruvela kanavu dhano?

K: Oye!

Her eyes popped out

Aaathi!!

Seeing Mullai stand still with mouth agape, Kathir waved his palm in front of her face

M: Neenga nijamave vandhurukeeyala?

K mv: appo ava karpanailayum kanavulayum kooda naama varoma enna?
K manasatchi: romba peruma dhan. Anga pesu da

K: Paatha epdi theriyudham?

M: illa, adhu... naa... ethirpaakala

K: nee dhane yenna paakanum pola irukku'nu sonna. Adhan vandhen

Mullai's face bloomed like a lotus under sunlight

M: nejamave enakkaga dhan vandheeyala?

K: adhu... apdinu mothama sollira mudiyadhu

M: appo?

K: unakkaga mattum varla

M: vera yaarukaga vandheeya?

M: solllunga!!

K: enakkagavum dhan vandhen

M: purila

K: aama ellathayum 10 dhadava solluvanga unakku

M: modha mora sollumbodhey puriyura maari sonna naa yen thirumba keka poren

K mv: ivaluku nejamave purilaya illa venumne namma vaaiya pudungurala? 

M: ippo solla poreeyala illa unga mela thanni adikkava?
She held the hose pipe firmly and was all set to spray water at him

K: Ey venam!

M: appo sollunga

K: Unna maadhiriye enakkum unna paakanum pola irundhuchu. Nee apdi sonnone idhan saaku nu kelambi vandhuten, podhuma?

She didn't know if this was the response she expected
But she jubilant to say the least. 
It was a "en kaal tharaila padala" moment for her

M: *in a softer tone* idha ozhunga modhalaye sollirukkalam la? 

K: nee dhan romba buddhisaali aache. Purinjipa nu nenachen. Ellam pechu dhan..

He said with a smirk and she asadu vazhinjifyed

M: Yenga edhavdhu saapudreeyala? Tea potu tharava? Vera bajji edhavdhu pottu tharava?

K: hey hey yen ipdi paraparappa pesura? Inga enna janadhibadhiya vandhurukaru? Naa dhane vandhurukken. 

M: adhu illa'nga, neenga modha moraiya namma veetuku vandhurukeeya... unga ishtathoda, neengalave.
Enakku ungaluku edhavdhu seiyyanum, edhavdhu samaichu tharanum pola irukku.
Neenga vara poreenga nu phone panni sollirukkalam la..?

K: sollirundha nee ipdi baae nu vaaya polandhu ninnadha epdi paathuruppen?

M: indha vambuku oru korachalum illa. Sari naa poi tea potu konduvaren. Edhum vela illa la?

K: Ippo illa. 7.30 mani ku vanigar sangam meeting irukku onnu. Adhukku poganum. 

M: sari irunga varen

K: hmm

She came back with 2 cups of piping hot tea and joined Kathir who was sitting on the bench
