Vetri had been standing on the balcony and speaking on a conference call with his group of friends. They had been discussing about their upcoming semester exams and had making plans to celebrate the end of the semester. Hearing the sound of the  main gate opening, Vetri had turned to look and for a moment, he goes silent.


Netru naan paarthadhum
Unnaithaana sol
Indru naan kaanbadhum
Unnaithaana sol


His jaw widens seeing a beautiful girl walks in. Just when Vetri wonders if she got the address wrong, he notes that she was walking in confidently as if this was a familiar space to her. All of a sudden, the girl looks up and at that very moment, Vetri forgets to breathe because it dawns on him that this was the exact same girl who had a special place in his heart in his childhood days - Malarvizhi.


Aadai maara
Jaadai maara
Koondhal paadham
Yaavum maara

Kangalo un kangalo
Maaravillai
Kangalo en kangalo
Yemaravillai
Poi kooravillai


His mouth curves upward and his eyes twinkle as a quick flashback runs in his head of all the beautiful moments with her. It had been almost ten years since he last saw her and they had lost contact after her family had moved. Gone was the slightly chubby Malar who was always in her iconic rettai jadai.  Now, she looked completely different but two things remained the same - Her eyes which spoke volumes and her bright smile.

" Macha! Dei Vetri! Irukeeya da?"

"Naan apram koopiduraen!"


Vetri cuts the call without even giving time for his friends to respond and quickly makes his way down to the hall, just in time to see Malar seek blessings from his mother. It was still early so everyone had been sitting in the hall and seeing Malar everyone had gotten excited.


Pallikooda vaasam meendum
Thalli pona nesam meendum
Dhooraththil un vaasnai
Enai thaakkudhadi

Paarvayai un paarvayai
Edhir paakkudhadi
Manam ketkudhadi
Ketkudhadi ketkudhadi
Ketkudhadi ketkudhadi


Seeing the commotion, Vetri leans against the doorframe, arms crossed with a small smile, and waits for Malar to turn towards his direction. It was a one minute wait but for him, it felt like an eternity.


"Vetri, ithu yaarunu theriyuda?"


Even before Anbukarasi could say anything else, Vetri smiles.


"Piranthanaal vaazhthukal Malaru!"
