They reached the mall and received message from Santhosh to come to food court and he sent his photo along to recognise him. They went to food court to find Santhosh sitting alone casually in one of the tables. All went to him.
Saki lent her hand for a handshake.
Saki: Hi myself Saki.
Santhosh too responded it gently.
Santhosh: Santhosh here.
Saki: And this is my friend Abinav a.k.a Abi and these are my annans Pugazh anna and Sarath anna.
All handshakes with Santhosh and settles around the table.
Saki: Santhosh I really want to tell you some things before you start with the marriage proposal. I am not interested in marriage at the moment. I am so sorry that you had to come all the way till here to meet me. I would have informed you earlier if I had your contact number.I am having to meet you as my parents insisted. It's no way a fault on you. I am so sorry.
She told it in one go. Everyone was shocked. Santhosh chuckled. Everyone grew tense.
San: Thank god I didn't have to do anything to decline this proposal. Practically speaking even I am not interested in marriage at the moment. I always wished for a love marriage. I am single now but I really want to love someone and marry her once I am settled in my life. Even I had pressure from my parents. I never knew that they would find a girl for me in Saudi. I am sorry if it made you uncomfortable.
Saki: oh it's ok. Totally fine.
Pugazh: so why are you here at Saudi?
San: I am planning to open an Indian restaurant here Pugazh. I own a restaurant in Chennai named Arhata.
Saki excited: oh! Is it yours?
San: unakku theriyuma?
Saki: Theriyumava? I am one of the regular customers there. When I was working in Chennai for 2 yrs I used to go there often with my sis and friend. We already miss the taste so much.
San: I am so happy to hear it. I want to open one in Jeddah. I am came here looking for some partner. Process is still going on. Maybe next week I will be going to Jeddah.
Abi: oh nice! We are from Jeddah. Actually came here for some work. Currently working in the government's medical camp happening near. That's where we got Pugazh and Sarath.
San: that was nice to hear. I didn't know how to start the conversation about the marriage but thanks to you. You made it so easy for me.
Saki: My pleasure.
Abi: so friends?
He extended his hand for a handshake.
San: oh can I ?
All nodded.
San: then I would be the happiest.

பூ வைத்தாய்
பூ வைத்தாய்
நீ பூவைக்கோர்
பூ வைத்தாய்
மணப்பூ வைத்துப் பூ வைத்த
பூவைக்குள் தீ வைத்தாய்
நீ நீ நீ மழையில் ஆட
நான் நான் நான் நனைந்தே வாட
என் நாளத்தில் உன் ரத்தம்
நாடிக்குள் உன் சத்தம் உயிரே
தோளில் ஒரு சில நாழி
தனியென ஆனால்
தரையினில் மீன் ம்... ம்...

She looks into Abi's eyes while singing and locks her eyes there.

முன்பே வா
என் அன்பே வா
ஊனே வா
உயிரே வா
நான் நானா கேட்டேன்
என்னை நானே
நான் நானா கேட்டேன்
என்னை நானே
முன்பே வா
என் அன்பே வா
பூப்பூவாய் பூப்போம் வா
நிலவிடம் வாடகை வாங்கி
விழி வீட்டினில் குடி வைக்கலாமா?
நாம் வாழும் வீட்டுக்குள்
வேறாரும் வந்தாலே தகுமா?
தேன் மழை தேக்குக்கு நீ தான்
உந்தன் தோள்களில் இடம் தரலாமா?
நான் சாயும் தோள் மேல்
வேறாரும் சாய்ந்தாலே தகுமா?
நீரும் செம்புல சேறும்
கலந்தது போலே
கலந்தவர் நாம்

Everyone was mesmerized by her voice. Abi was relishing the moment.

முன்பே வா
என் அன்பே வா
ஊனே வா
உயிரே வா
முன்பே வா
என் அன்பே வா
பூப்பூவாய்
பூப்போம் வா
நான் நானா கேட்டேன்
என்னை நானே
நான் நீயா
நெஞ்சம் சொன்னதே முன்பே...
முன்பே வா
என் அன்பே வா
ஊனே வா
உயிரே வா
முன்பே வா
என் அன்பே வா
பூப்பூவாய்
பூப்போம் வா
ரங்கோ ரங்கோலி
கோலங்கள் நீ போட்டாய்
கோலம் போட்டவள்
கைகள் வாழி
வளையல் சத்தம்
ஜல்... ஜல்...
(Munbe vaa song from Sillunu oru kadhal).

Santhosh noticed the unspoken words spoken between Abi and Saki.

Abi: super ma!
San: wow Saki. It was soulful!
Pugazh: super thangachi! Pah enna voice uh.
Sarath: super da. Nalla vela video eduthaen. Let me send to you all and Keerthi and Benzy too.
San: Keerthi and Benzy?
Sarath: Keerthi my wife and Benzy Pugazh's wife.
San: ok
With that they were going to leave the food court that's when Santhosh asked a question to Saki which surprised or shocked her...
