Perunthu Payanam

They finished dinner and collected the sarees...

They checked to see that all were the ones they had selected and the blouse pieces were kept inside as well

Once done they were about to leave..

Kathir : yen Mullai namma vena bus la polaamaa..

Mullai : ahn seringa..

Ashok : ada yen...naan vidaren..

Kathir : neengalum naal muzhukka alainju irukkeenga..kaarthaala thaan Kunnakudikke vanthu koottittu vantheenga...ippo rest edunga...anga veedu bus stand pakkathula thaan..oru auto pudicha 2 nimisham aagaathu..

Ashok didn't say anything much after that...

They rode in silence to the busstand...

Once they reached Ashok got off asking the others to wait in the car...

Kathir opened his mouth to say they would see themselves into a bus..but something in his expression stopped him...

They walked in silence...

They found a Kunnakudi bound bus..

The conductor was standing outside the bus drinking tea...

Kathir : velu anne...bus kelamba evvalavu neram aagum

Velu : ada Kathiru nee enga inga...

Kathir : kalyana shopping athaan vanthom..

Velu : yaarukku Kannanukka..avan padikkaraan thaane

Kathir : Mullai...nee yeri ukkaru...naan oru bottle thanni vaangittu varen..thanks anne

Mullai : ahn seringa...

He thought Ashok would stay with Mullai but he came with him..

Kathir: ivvalavu kovam vendaame..

Ashok: naan close aaga paarkuren...neenga velagi velagi poreenga..

Kathir : nejamaa ille..adutha vaaram kooda 2 naal vanthu thangartha thaane plan...Mullai kitta kettu paarunga..athai maamaa veettulaye thangi irukkena theriyathu..he grinned

He boarded the bus..Ashok got in to say bye to Mullai..hugged Kathir bye and left..
