Mullai asked"yen kathir ennoda feelings ku ivalo importance thara???"
And not waiting for a minute to escape ,he replied "because I respect your feelings" and she looked at him dearly.
"Affection, friendship ellam iruku mulla aana adha vida i have respect for you...adhu dhaney mullai is the reason for every beautiful relationship to exist in this world"his soft voice melted her heart.
"Unma dhan... trust and respect idhu illana edhuvum illa ..you are really matured kathir oru ponnu paati ivalo yosikara..."she smiled looking at him.
He felt bad. It was all these lessons his mom taught him and she wasn't there for him whenever he needed her. Inspite of growing up with boys in the household his mother has made him to understand about a women and her emotions. With a hopeless voice he told"adhuku amma dhan reason mullai"
She could feel the change in his tone. From the childhood days she knew how much he was attached to his mother and how her demise affected him. She gave encouraging words to calm him down"Lakshmi aunty will always be proud of you...ippadi nee Irukanu she would really be happy in heaven now....avanga romba safe ahna place irukanga..."
He knew why she speaks like this but he too needs someone to share his feelings. Off late only mullai could give that warmth to him. "Correct dhan....she is safe somewhere aana enkuda illa... people solluvangala theriyuma move on aganum aana Namma life la nammaku romba pudichavanga poita then the life is not the same again"his voice was breaking slowly.
"Kathir..."mullai called out his name slowly knowing the emotions he is going through.
"Ofcourse daily we have things to do and bother aana silla special moments la thonum mullai amma irunda eppadi irukum nu...ennaku silla neram yen dhan enga Amma chinna vayasula kutitu ponnanga nu kadavul mela kovam varum....amma oda anbuku negara life la enna iruku sollu????"mullai was silent to listen from him who was pouring out his heart.
"Ellarum oru visiyam irukum bodhu nammaku illana adhu oru maari vaali mullai sollamudiyada vaali...aniku oru naal ammaku romba joram .. hospital ku anney dhan kutitu pochu...naa school ku poi iruden..10th exam ezhuda... sandosham ah veetuku vandhen exam ellam nalla panninen nu...aana aprom dhan ella thappa pochu"
He started to cry slowly thinking about the worst days of his life. "Doctor Amma ku jaundice nu sonnanga seri Naanum amma veetuku varuvanga nu nenaichen aana aniku oru naal enna kuptu amma kita kadaisiya poi pesu nu amichanga....yen vazhkai la appadi oru varta thirupi kekkakuda mullai...(with tears)Aprom Naanum amma kita ponen... sirichanga enna paatu...thalai la thadivi vitanga ennoda madila paduthanga...aprom... aprom..."his throat was filled with misery.
"Amma amma nu avalo kupten aana amma thirumbi pesave illa....sethu poidalam irunduchu...."he cried leaning on her shoulders. A man in general sense don't cry much but if they do then they do only in front of people whom they trust the most. For all these year's kathir needed a person to hear his hidden feelings. Even though this incident happened ten years back,the impact on him hasn't changed. Over time he mastered to hide them out to project he became a matured man.
She left him to let out all the pain out as sometimes that is what is needed. Realising he was leaning her shoulder,he moved away immediately wiping his tears and apologised. "Idhula sorry keka enna iruku kathir i can understand nee free ah iru.."
A dead silence prevailed and she felt the need to heal his heart."Kathir naa ippo solradhu seriya nu therla but I just wanted to share...nammaku close ah irukavanga eppovum Namma kuda irupanga...Silla peruku adhu stupidity ah theriyum but affect aana dhan adodha pain puriyum... aunty physical ah unkita illa adhu unmai nee adha accept Pannu Kathir...but adhukuga avanga memories ah erase pannadha.."
