It had been a day since the whole family had shifted to Trichy .
Mr. Ranganathan and Periyanayagi also had arrived safetly and they were admitted in the branch hospital at Trichy . Kathir had asked his architect and the hospital staff to alter the ground floor of Rangan palace with all the medical facilities needed for the elder man . He would be shifting to Rangan palace itself in a day or two .
The total count of the family were accomodated in Rangan palace now !!
Along with Harimithran and Sangamithra as well !!
Strictly on Kathir s order _ !
Mullai couldn't open a word against it !
Uma had taken over the household , along with Mullai ; who stayed a step away itself .
Even the previous night at Chennai , she somehow managed to pacify Uma and stayed with her itself refusing Uma s idea to stay along with Kathir .
Mullai : Illainga aunty , unmai theriyaathavangaluku palaya kathaiya solla thevai illa .
Aana ungaluku than yelaam theriyumaae. Inga enna vesham vendi kedaku .
Naan ingayae unga kooda thangikren , illaati ....vera room la ...
Uma : Vera room ah ! Aathi ... yethuku , endra vellakaari oorelaam antha kathaiya ticket pottu vikka va ?
Sari Kannu ...inga unnaiya vidren .
Aana , Trichy la ipadi eruka mudiyaathu .
Athu nyabagam erukula ?
Anga thaatha ,paati erupaanga . Koodavae unga amma , thambi , thangachiyum erukum .
Anga vanthu awan room la thanga maatenu Adam oidika koodaathu ,enna ?
Mullai : Awangala mothala kelunga aunty . apuram itha pesalaam .
Ipo naan awangalku moonavathu manusi .
Antha room la kooda thangina , awangaluku than yedanchala erukum .She said staring at the ceiling , remembering the innumerable calls he received from that someone in mind , at any time 24/7 .
That person seemed to call Kathir irrespective of his surroundings not bothering whether it was day or night .
She didn't know most of the time it was either Kailesh and not Pragya .. and even if it was Pragya it was related to either work or the conspiracy .
But the possesive and Love struck heart of Mullai always connected Kathir with Pragya alone and wounded its ownself !
That night she spent in Uma s room .
Having no idea of the emotional turmoil Kathir gone through that whole night !
That was it !
The next day they all started to Trichy .
Mullai didn't know why _ but as Tiruchy neared ,she became kind of more rigid than ever and shelled herself .
She didn't know to decipher that feeling that surged through her _ she was to spend few days to weeks , back again at Rangan Palace , yet again as his wife _ and this time , she will have to stay along with him in the same room too !
They will have to face each other daily _ no shying away from one other like the previous one year !!
She didn't know whether she was to be happy or sad for this irony !!!
Their return back to Trichy wasn't private _ with the whole clan accompanying them none of them got to speak to each other .
But it wasn't that alone ,
Mullai sensed Kathir wasn't his usual self _ for sure there was a change !
What was it ?
She couldn't get it .
