Three days before marriage :

The girls were sleeping in Rithika's room. There was a knock on the door. Priti was the first one to wake up. She went and opened the door to see her mother standing in the door step glaring at her.

T Ma: Evlo neram ah kadhava thatitu irruken. Nethike sonnen la kaalaile seekram elunchikanum nu.

Tamizh Ma left the room to continue her work. Priti closed the door, locked it and turned to see her sisters sleeping soundly. She shook her head and went near them and woke them up.

Priti: Thika, Shivs rendu perum elundhuringa. Time aachu namba ready aaganum.

Both slowly opened their eyes and saw Priti standing in the bed in the middle of them. They looked at eachother and pulled Priti towards them and started tickling her. She fell on the bed with a thud and all the started laughing.

Priti: Ahh pothum pothum niruthunga. Ennaku sirichi sirichi vayiru valikuthu.

They both stopped tickling her and all of them were panting heavily.

After that one by one they got ready and went down to the living.

Here in Sakthi's room,

The boys were sitting in a round on the floor and were playing rummy. They didnot sleep for the whole night as they were asked to wake up early. So they planned to play. Tamizh ma came and knocked the door.

Kathir went and opened the door. Tamizh ma informed them to be ready before 6 and left from there.

Ag: Adei Sakthi nee first poi ready aagu athukulla na namba moonu peroda dress ah vanthu iron panni vechidren.

Sakthi: Seri anna.

They all got ready and went down and helped the elders for the pooja.
