After one week of Aadi month, Madhu and Mani shifted back to their home. The next Monday, as there was a meeting scheduled by 3:00 pm for all the top hierarchy people, Mani left their cabin few minutes before. Kathir went inside Madhu's cabin. Prithvi saw this and left a huge sigh. He excused himself and moved to them. They were sitting bit closer and speaking and laughing over some random things. Slowly in the interest of talking Kathir placed his hands on her shoulder and other held her hand. Prithvi was frustrated to the core.

Pr: Madhu

Ma: Vaa da ukkaru.

Pr: Madhu naa unkita thaniya pesanum.

Ma: Ok da oru 5 mins naan kathir ta peseetu varen nee Vishnu anna kuda ukkandhiru.

Pr: Madhuuuuuu he shouted and pressed the word, closing his eyes tight and clenching his first.

Ma: Seri ok varen.

Prithvi looked at kathir who was just watching the scene.

Pr: Mr. .... Na ungalku vera thaniya sollanuma? Can you please??

Ka: Oh sorry. Madhu seems not well. Meet you later. Byee.

Ma: Bye kathir.

Pr: Loosa di nee??

Ma: Prithu ena aachu?

Meanwhile Mani returned to his cabin for taking an important file saw them arguing.

Pr: Madhu romba naive ah irukaadha di Avan unkita ivalo close ah palagaradhu neeye Edam kudukradhu seri ila. Avan mela Kai vaikaradhu elam romba thappa iruku.

Ma: Prithu casual ah dhaan da peseetu irudhaanga. Nee edho thapa purinjikita.

Pr: Paithiyam maari pesadha di una epomae un senior un friend un husband nu Elarum vandhu kaapathetu iruka maatanga. Sila mansuhanaga elam romba toxic indha Ram maari nama hope kuduthu adha valathi vidama starting laye cut Pani vidanum.

Ma: Purira mari pesu please.

Pr: Adhaana unaku purinjitaa..

Mani entered the cabin and took the files and looked at them and moved back to meeting.

Pr: Madhu naan unkita aprm pesran dhayavu senju kathir kita close ah palagaadha.

Ma: Hmm.

Pr: Varen

Ma: Edhayaachum solla marandhutiya?

Pr: Ena?

Ma: Onum ila bye.

Pr: Bye.

Madhu heaved a huge sigh and started doing her work. But these things were bothering her from deep inside. After an hour Mani came there with all happiness over his face and locked his cabin. As Madhu was deeply concentrated in her works, didn't notice him. He slowly sneaked his hands around her waist and kissed her neck. Madhu jerked but later found it was him and kept her hands over his.

Madhuu

Hmm

You got rewarded.

Huh?

You are promoted.

Wow nejamava??

Aama come lets celebrate.

No ipo mudika vendiya velai rendu perukum iruku mudichitu porapa celebrate pannalaam.

Prithvi and Vishnu are waiting for us in canteen.

Apdiya seri varen.

Both went and joined them. Vishnu and Prithvi also got promoted and salary hikes. So four celebrated their happiness by cutting a cake and enjoyed themselves. But in fifteen minutes Madhu informed them and went back to work. Later they also joined her in work. By evening, everyone in the office left except Madhu and Mani.

Madhu was checking some files and by then Mani finished his work and came to her. Mani sat near her and his hands found its way to her waist. She took his hands and placed back on his lap.

Macha oru 10 mins amaidhiya irundha en velai mudichiruven.

Mani got little hurt, but didn't show it on his face. He started helping her instead and soon they completed their works. Both reached their home.

Madhu got refreshed and started her dinner preparation. Mani also got refreshed and came at the back of her.

Enna venum?

Edhum ila sendhu samaikalaam nu vandhen.

Ila dosa dhaan utharen, chutney kum ready paneetan. Neenga rest edunga.

He was hurt again but didn't voice out. He left back to living room and laid on the couch. Soon sleep engulfed him. After preparing the dinner, Madhu saw him sleeping. She made him wake and placed his plate on his hands.

Normally Madhu will feed him if he sleeps but there were more changes in Madhu's behaviour. Mani left a sad chuckle and started eating. Soon both completed the dinner and Madhu done the dishes and went to bed. Though they both were in same bed, their distance seemed much huge for Mani.

The week went hectic for them with a lot of work schedules as they were at the end of the project. The distance between them was still huge. Everytime Mani tries to get closer (though not physically but by heart) Madhu puts a comma there and moves away.

Their distance was much visible to Prithvi and Vishnu, as both lost the soul in their eyes which always have happiness. But they didn't want to interfere and wants them to solve it by themselves.

In these days, whenever kathir meets Madhu, she always make sure someother that is like Prithvi, Vishnu or Mani will also be with her. Prithvi was at little relief due to this.

It was Friday evening and Mani wasn't feeling good, Madhu asked him to go home and rest. With much objections of no use, Mani left to home.

By usual time of office end everyone left, only few were in their cabin. Madhu has completed her works just now and was packing her stuffs. Kathir entered her cabin.

K: Hi Madhuu

M: Hi

K: Will you join me for a coffee?

Prithvi barged in their cabin.

P: Madhuku tea coffee kudikra palakam ila.

K: Hey nice then why don't we meet up for dinner. Caz we all are stuck in hectic schedules after all we just need some break right?

M: Offcourse break venum.

P: Madhu..

M: Oru nimsam iren da. Naan pesi mudichikren..

Looking at kathir

Adhaan en aal ah paaka avasara avasarama kelambeetu iruken if you don't mind we will meet for dinner some other day. Shall we?

K: Aal ah?

M: Ean sir engalku ellam aal iruka kudaatha?

K: Romba thappu..

M: Enna thappu

K: Ivalo alagaana ponnunga elam commit aageeta aprm naanga elam ena panradhu??

M: Idha vida alagaana ponnungalku wait pannunga.

K: Ena Madhu ipdi solteenga.

P: Madhu un aal uh veetuku poitaaram una ange bathrama drop pana solli enkita sonaaru so konjam vareengala?

K: What?!!! Are you meeting him at home??

Madhu gave a tight lipped smile and left with Prithvi.
