And just like that the D Day arrived
Kathir was increasingly realising that it was not as easy as he thought
From the moment he stepped into the hall he had a feeling..an unsettling uneasiness..he couldn't think what it was immediately
But a while later the bride and family arrived and that's when he realised ..it was going to be difficult seeing her get married to another man..and worse still that man was his own brother..
All the misgivings from before came back ..how could he live a life time of seeing her live with his brother a life that he had wanted to live with her
He suddenly felt very claustrophobic
He kept making excuses to keep away as much as possible from the main event of the day..the engagement
Under the pretext of ensuring everyone had tiffin he remained in the dining area
Soon it was time for the ring exchange
Kanna was sent to summon him
He dragged his feet to where everyone sat
On seeing her the first thing he realised was how the 2 of them were colour coordinated
He was wearing a brown cotton shirt that was a match to her brown silk saree..
She had always loved it when they matched like this in an impromptu kind of way
Eppudi rendu perum sollikkaame ore colour pottu irukkom paaru Theera she would say
The irony of it all was making him very irritated
For her part she sat head bent ..going through the motions of the ritual like a robot..no smile..no reaction nothing
But while observing this he noticed that his brother looked very unhappy too
He wondered why
But before he could think more he had become busy with one or the other thing
Helping the guests from other cities with their accomadation..
Helping in the grocery items delivery to the kitchen
And he was busy with various responsibilities and had some breathing time only after dinner
He decided to have a word with Jeeva later that night
The doubt that Jeeva was seeing someone before this proposal came about resurfaced again
Was Jeeva sad because of that Kathir wondered
Nothing much could be done now..but at least he can lend a shoulder for him to cry
He went to the room where Jeeva was sleeping with his Moorthy anne
It was almost 10:30 pm
He was surprised to see Mullai and Jeeva animatedly in discussion
Jeeva was vehemently saying no to something that Mullai was so obviously pleading with him to agree to
Just when he thought she would give up she took a deep breath and said something to Jeeva which made him blanche and he went silent after that
Mullai smiled at him and left
Jeeva stood holding the wall deep in thought
Kathir approached him
Jeeva looked at him angrily
Ennachu nne
Jeeva held him by the collar of his shirt
