Malar was folding her clothes on the room bed. She recalled the incident that happened the previous night whereby Vetri's mother had arranged for the first night ritual.

Unakaga vaazha ninaikiraen (I intend to live for you)

Usuroda vaasam pudikkiraen (I take in the smell of life)

Podava madikkayil (When I fold my sarees)

Unnai thaan madikkiraen (it is you that I am folding)

Oru nooru varusham pesa nenachi (I intend to talk for a hundred years)

Thozlil thoongiduvaen (But I end up sleeping on your shoulders)

Unakaga Unkaga (For you, For you)

Unakaga vaazha ninaikiraen (I intend to live for you)

Usuroda vaasam pudikkiraen (I take in the smell of life)

Vetri had initially come in to the room with a romantic look on his face and teased Malar. Malar was taken aback and got a little worried. Eventually, Vetri ended the teasing and had calmly told her to go to sleep without thinking much. Malar smiles upon recalling the previous night's incidents. Her Vetri was indeed well behaved. In fact, after whatever happened last night, Malar's anger on Vetri had completely vanished.

Yesa ketta neethano (Are you the music that I listen to)

Neramellam neethano (Are you all the colours)

Dhinam nee thoongum vara thaan en vaazhkaiye (My life exists only till you go to sleep)

Vidinju un pecholi ketta thaan eduppaen moochaye (I will only take a breath after hearing your words during sunrise)

Unnai somakkura varama mela nizhal vanthu vizhuma (Will your shadow fall over me as a boon of carrying you)

Kollathe kannin orama (Do not kill me with your eye's corner looks)

Meanwhile, Vetri was seated at his favourite spot in the house – the staircase landing at the terrace. He was also recalling the previous night's incident. Malar had been wearing a orange saree and the moment he had set his eyes on her, Vetri forgot to breathe. Seeing Malar nervous, Vetri had decided to tease her and pretended as if he was ready for the first night ritual. However, Vetri had already decided not to do anything that Malar was not keen about. As he moved closer, Malar's breathing gor heavy and she closed her eyes tightly in fear. Even though Vetri knew that Malar had visualised him negatively, he could never get angry with her. Instead, he was admiring her. When Malar opened her eyes, Vetri had told her to go to sleep without thinking much. That had left Malar shocked.

Unakaga vaazha ninaikiraen (I intend to live for you)

Unakaga vaazha ninaikiraen (I intend to live for you)

Usuroda vaasam pudikkiraen (I take in the smell of life)

Usuroda vaasam pudikkiraen (I take in the smell of life)

Although Vetri and Malar have been in close proximity, yesterday Malar felt strange to be so close to Vetri. It was a different kind of strange. As Malar picks up the clothes in the laundry basket to go and wash them, she sees Vetri's purple shirt and gets reminded of the strange feeling. Malar puts the other clothes down and picks up Vetri's shirt. She again gets reminded of how Vetri behaved like a complete gentleman and feels blessed to have had him as her husband. She knew that anyone else in that situation might have behaved differently. She embraces the shirt and whispers "Mama".

Ore mazhai alli namma pothikkanum (Let's cover ourselves with the same rain)

Kaiya kudu kadhavakki saathikanum (Give me your hand, we will use it as doors to close ourselves)

Ore kulir ore muttham ohtikanum (We should share the same winter and kiss)

Unnai maatum usuraga paatukanum (I want to only take care of you as my own life)

Vetri who had been sitting down outside shivers. He looks around to see if anyone called him but there was no one to be found. He then stands up and walks back to his room. There, he sees Malar embracing his shirt. Vetri smiles and leans on the doorframe, admiring his wife. She had so much love for him, yet was pretending otherwise.

Nila mazha mozhi ala (The moon, rains, languages, waves)

Pani irul kili kela (The cold, darkness, parrots on the branches)

Neeyum naanum (You and I)

Thegatta thegatta rasikanum (Should admire till we are overwhelmed)

Just then Malar turns and sees Vetri smirking. She feels shy and to avoid Vetri, she quickly picks up the pile of clothes and attempts to leave the room. However, Vetri uses his hand to block the doorway. Malar looks up at him and when their eyes meet, she blushes. Vetri smiles and Malar quickly pushes his hand away from the door and runs out.

Unakaga vaazha ninaikiraen (I intend to live for you)

Usuroda vaasam pudikkiraen (I take in the smell of life)

Podava madikkayil (When I fold my sarees)

Unnai thaan madikkiraen (it is you that I am folding)

Oru nooru varusham pesa nenachi (I intend to talk for a hundred years)

Thozlil thoongiduvaen (But I end up sleeping on your shoulders)

Unakaga Unkaga (For you, For you)

Unakaga vaazha ninaikiraen (I intend to live for you)

Usuroda vaasam pudikkiraen (I take in the smell of life)

Vetri watches Malar and knew that he had already made his way into her heart. He takes a deep breath and makes up his mind. It was already December and Vetri decides that his new year gift for Malar would be his love proposal. On the other hand, Malar also decides to accept Vetri whole heartedly and similarly decides to propose on the first moment of the New Year. Both Vetri and Malar go about doing their daily chores, with a small excitement in their hearts. Soon, their life would be magical.
