Abhi - Vetri : Vol 2

South meets North - 14

Seeing Poongavanam's family, Aranganathan rose from his seat. He was unhappy but it was the culture to welcome a guest even though an enemy so Aranganathan did not show any resentment to them. 

Poo: Vanakkam aiyya....

AR: Vaanga...ulla vaanga...vaangama ulla vaanga...ukkarunga...

Kamalamma also called them in. They exchanged pleasantaries. Poongavanam's wife and kids sat on the sofa. They kept all the stuff they brought on the table.

C mv: Seervarisaiyoda vandhirukkanga pola edhukkaga irukkum...naama poyee maamava koottittu varuvom....

Vetri pulled back Poongavanam.

Poo: Sari iru...

Poongavanam went and whispered to his family to wait for him and not initiate anything. His wife agreed. Poongavanam and Vetri stepped outside the house.

AR: Kamala, avangalukku kudikkardhukku edhavadhu eduthuttu vaa...enna vishayama vandheengama?

Poo's wife: Huh...uh...avarum vandhudattume appuram pesalaam...

Outside,

Poo: Ennada vishayam?

Vetri rubbed his temples.

V: Adhu vandhu anne....enakku kalyanam aana vishayam veetula yaarukkum theriyaadhu'ne...

Poongavanam was shocked. Vetri explained everything to him even until his engagement preparation by his family that morning.

Poongavanam looked at Vetri in a trustworthy manner.
