Anu picked the call in half sleep. It was just 8 by then. Vetri started to talk

Lakshmi ma entered the room and saw Anu with the phone. Thank god, Anu
and Vetri's call ended by then. Lakshmi made a stern face and left the room.

Kathir got up at 7 pm. Having coffee in his hand, he thought about
everything he had to do. Somehow, a thought about Mathi came
into his mind. He didn't know why but from the day her eyes met his.
She occupied his mind. That day when she ran out to see the rain
with her face covered with shawl. The shawl did show her eyes
alone but those eyes had an adverse effect on him. A nice effect,
those eyes spoke many things. Their foreheads hit when she was
running from their home to her home since the weather was raining.
Kathir who came running into his house after work hit the magical
lady's forehead and met her eyes.
He being the Sun who throws light on everybody in his family and
manages everything doesn't find time for his own passion.
He needs someone to guide him. He doesn't open this up to Anu
thinking that she is too small to get burdened by thoughts of his.
Krishna Pa and Lakshmi Ma would help him but he doesn't want to
hold on to his parents every time.
Puvi akka is finally leading a happy life and he doesn't want to
trouble her and since she is pregnant, he wanted her to stay happy.
Managing a big family, full of responsibility makes him sick and
doesn't allow him to concentrate on his own passion.
He did feel happy with what he had but the unhappiness with
what he does now makes him feel weird and uncomfortable.
All these thoughts made him feel upset but he brought the
broken glass pieces together and got ready to start of this new day.

Mathi was too busy thinking about the next album of hers. She was trained in
music and her passion was music. She sang covers and had a good fanbase.
She felt Vetri's behaviour weird and he being a curious kid, she felt worried
about him getting into problems because of his over curiosity. Suddenly her
mind thought about Kathir.
Kathir from her view was hard working and dedicated but she found an
uninterest in his proceedings. He did every work given to him in a perfect way
but still he wasn't interested in those.
It was clearly visible to her eyes from his works and the way
he responds to the manager. Mathi hasn't met the manager in person after
signing the project but she had heard Kathir speak with him at times.
Mathi was curious to know about Kathir but she was concerned about not
going overboard because of things she had already faced. She wanted to ask
everything to Kathir in the tent but she felt speaking about personal issues in a
professional forum like office or tent is not right. So, she decided to call upon
Kathir. Kathir picked the call.
Mathi - Hello Kathireyy!
Kathir - Sollu ma
Mathi - Inikki evening oru 4 manikku vele illana oru coffee-ku meet panlama?
Kathir - Coffee kudikrathilla ma
Mathi began to laugh and started to speak, “Neenga nagaichuvai panreenga kathireyy! Meet panlama?"
Kathir wondered why but he said, “Okay ma! Naa location anuppuren”
Mathi said okay with sheer excitement and hopped out of her bed.

Taara's designs were almost done. She didn't know about the outcome
but she felt some ray of hope was close to her.
She remembered Aadhi saying, “Naa irukken” but still she was afraid.
She had self-doubt. Her hands turned pale and cold. She felt nervous.
She was too tensed. She did the blueprint designs for every room and
every class. She felt free at heart but her mind was filled with
questions of self doubt. She thought of calling Mathi but her line was
busy. She wanted to call Aadhi since his words were so soothing for
her but, she was hesitant.
What if he takes this as I am taking advantage of him?
She felt hesitant but still she wanted to call him up. She called him
and cut the call. Aadhi called her back.
Aadhi - Hello Taara!
Taara - Hello Aadhi Sir!
Aadhi - Sollunga call pannirntheenga? BTW Aadhi sirnu laam koopda
vendaamnga Aadhine koopdunga
Taara - Aadhi adhavadhu naa Panna designs nalla illadha maari irukku
Aadhi - Enakku pictures anupureengala?
Taara - Sure! Vere designer kooptukalaama?
Aadhi - Enna Nee ipdi pesra? Your designs are amazing. I want to know
about the thought process behind.
Taara - Nejamava?
Aadhi - Aama! 4 maniku coffee shopku varen ungalukku okayva
Taara - Okay! Ungaluku problem illaye... Nalla illadha designsku
alachal edukku
Aadhi - Designs are nice namma peslaam... Unna nambu taara... Bye!

Taara felt comfortable but still her self doubts did persist.
Ezhil called up Anu but Anu failed to pick the call. This added to her
worry. She started feeling lonely. After them, there was no one for her
now, she had got Anu and she doesn't want to miss her as well.
Anu got ready and convinced her mom somehow and left in her scooter
to Vetri's home. She checked the directions in G Maps and started to ride.
She reached the street in which his home was there. She found him with
his phone in the start of the street. She started to shout at him. He
climbed in and held her waist.
Anu - Blind Turnla nikkira arivilla
Vetri - Unakku theriyanumenu ninnen
Anu - Hmm... Kai edu
Vetri - Edukka maaten
Anu - Edunu sonnen
Vetri - Nee road paathu vandiya otu
Anu - Poi thola
They went to a restaurant. They ordered two coffees. There was a bench
under a tree in the open area of the restaurant. They paid the bill, took
the paper cups and went and sat on the bench.
Anu was drinking the coffee and asked him, “Sollu, enna koopta?"
