Day of the first meet
Thenmozhi's (mindvoice)- Nalla moochu vidu. Bayapadaatha. Unnaku avlo seekram kalyanam nadakaathu. (Take deep breaths. You won't get married that quickly.)
Thenmozhi assures herself and looks into the mirror.
Thenmozhi's (mindvoice)- Evlo azhaga irukurom. Muah. (I'm so beautiful. Muah.)
Riya comes barging into the room.
Riya- Enna akka unnakae mutham kudukura? (Why are you giving yourself a kiss?)
Thenmozhi- Pinna. Evlo azhaga irukuren? (Why not. See how beautiful I am?)
Riya- Paathen paathen. Mapillai kaaga va? 😏 (I saw. I saw. Is this for the groom?)
Thenmozhi- Antha paiyen kaagam lam illa. Ennukaaga. 😤 (It's not for that guy. It's for me.)
Riya- Etho onnu. Mapillai photo va naa pathuten. Semma azhaga irukuraaru. (Whatever. I saw the groom's photo. He's so handsome.)
Thenmozhi- Mandai kullaiyum nenju kullaiyum onnume illaina, moonjila irukuthu waste. (If there's nothing in the head or chest, whatever's on the face is just waste.)
Riya- Huh?
Thenmozhi- Moolaiyum manasu than mukiyam. Athu illaina azhaga irukuthu waste. (Having a brain and heart is important. Without that, there is no use being pretty.)
Riya- Akka. Konjam aachu cooperate pannu ka. Illaina unnaiya tease panna mudiyaathu. (Sister. Please cooperate a little. Or else I can't tease.)
Thenmozhi- Ada podi. Ennaku pasikuthu. Veetla ethaachu iruka? (Whatever. I'm hungry. Is there something to eat.)
Riya- Irukae. Vada, bajji, murukku, samosa lam Periammavum ammavum senjurukaanga. (Yup. My mom and Periamma (aunt) make vada, bajji, murukku, and samosa.)
