Idha yenga maata sonna, nee yenga maati vechirukae?!

Saranya blared at Shakthi because he'd hang the ornaments in all wrong places. Shakthi instantly apologized and ran to save himself from the wrath of this woman. It was the day, Tara and her family were coming. 

Saranya had to make sure everything was perfect. The house has been painted, the furniture have been rearranged and only cooking was left to do.

Saranya felt her anxiety growing, so she decided to head into the kitchen. Inside, she discovered Rohit diligently cutting the vegetables she had instructed him to. However, she couldn't help but chide him for his slow pace, a sign of her mounting impatience,

Indha lachanathula vettuna kalyanam'eh vandhurum

Rohit pouted at his mother.

Frustrated with the delay, Saranya promptly ordered Rohit to go and call Vikram, demanding to know his whereabouts. Before Rohit could even make the call, Vikram surprisingly arrived.

Yebha dei, nee kalyanam panradhuku naan nerupu'la nadhukura madhiri iruku da!

Yen da?

Vikram?

Saranya came out of the kitchen as soon as she heard Vikram's voice.

Vandhutiya pa? Nalla vela, enga neeyum ivanunga madhiri late akiruviyo nu nenachen.

Shakthi and Rohit glared at her with a poker face. 

Tara'ku phone panniya? Avanga kelambitangala?

Vikram, noticing Saranya still in her night attire, took the initiative and gently grasped her arm.

Tara kita ippodhan pesnen, avanga innum kelambala. Kelambumbothu solluva, namaku innum neraya time iruku. Neenga first'uh poi ready agunga.

Kitchen'la samayal appdhi-

Adha na pathukuren

Vikram's reassuring words brought a moment of relief amid the chaos. Saranya patted his cheeks as he left to the kitchen, she then turned to Shakthi and Rohit and chided, 

Kathukonga da!

Vikram carefully watched as the mutton curry simmered away. As he heard his mobile ring, he closed the lid and hurriedly rushed to check. Meanwhile, Saranya descended the stairs and checked on the curry's progress. She realized that Vikram hasn't added salt yet. Saranya came out and saw Vikram on a phone call hence she turned to Rohit,

Dei, innum konja nerathula anga kolambu'la konjam uppu potru.

all the while attempting to pin flowers to her bun.

Rohit, huffed on his way to the kitchen, he took a pinch of salt and dumped it into the boiling curry, 

Innum anju nimisham inga irundhom, yellam velai'yum namba thalaila potruvainga. Escape agiruvom

Saranya returned a little while later, disappointed to find Rohit absent and assuming he hadn't completed the task she assigned. Taking matters into her own hands, she added the salt herself, all while chiding Rohit and making a mental note to give him a piece of her mind later.

Just as she finished and went in front to do a final check on the decorations, Vikram returned, seemingly oblivious to everything that had transpired. He, too, added some salt. After a final stir, he transferred the curry to a serving bowl and placed it on the dining table.
