M murmurs : Pant sattai la yum nalla than erukaga..

K hears something and looks over.

K didn't hear it fully.

k mv : Ena pakkura.. photo va.. namma kalaila edutha photo maari eruke.. yetho vera sonnale.. pant sattai.. nalla nu.. oru vela pant sattai nalla ilai nu sollirupalo..
ana nalla ila nu ketkalaye..

K is very much confused and wanted to know her comment about his new outfit.
Unable to as her.. he started doing his daily night routine..

M realised he is inside the room and turns back.

M mv : Aiyo.. epo vanthaga nu therlaye. photo va parthitu erunthome. parthirupagala..

M sits straight and looks at him. K sits on his paai and keeps circling his mobile.

M : Epo vantheega

K : Ipo than.. nee thoongita ninaichen..

M : Ila.. athu.. thoongala..

There was a silence for sometime.

K : Nee yethuku mannipu ketkira..

M smiles. She knew she stood up for him for the first time. She spoke for him. She supported him. All these came to her so naturally which surprised her. And she is also surprised by the way K behave when they head back towards the home.

M : Enakku kooda apdi than erunthuchu neenga panatha ninaicha..

K : Puriyalaye..

M : Thirumbi varum bothu nan ketkamalaye neraya senjigale.. nan ethirpakala.. yen pannenga..

M : Pinna.. nan enamo pagal poora paduthu thoongara maari than.. ungaluku munnadiye daily nan enthirupen.. atha nyabagam vachukonga..

K : Sari ma thaye.. aala vidu..

K rests on his mat.

M mv : Akkaraiya kamichathu othuka mataga.. othukita ivan than kathir.. ithu than kathir nu dialogue pesa mudiyathey.. hmm.. ivughalukaga amma appa ta sandai vera potome.. aana.. sandai potathu sari thane..

M confused with her own thoughts drifts
off to sleep.

K mv: Ava kelvi ku yenda unala pathil solla mudila.. aiyo paduthona thoonguravana ipdi polamba vachitale..

K turns towards her.He watches her sleeping like a baby. He smiles and drifts off to sleep.

Next day morning

K comes after a bath.. checks himself in mirror and puts the towel on the cloth rope.

He reaches the half closed door to open it fully. At the same time someone pushes it  to open , he got hit by the opened door. He winces in pain.

M : Aiyo.. sorry nga.. Kavinikala.. aiyo romba valikutha...

M starts rubbing his forehead.

M : Sorry nga..
