It was almost dusk. Malar and Vetri were at the beach near Aishwarya's house. They had come together to attend the wedding and had been at her house for three days now.


Innum konjam neram iruntha thaan enna (Why can't you stay with me for some more time?)

Yen avasaram enna avasaram nillu ponnae (Why this hurry, what is this hurry? Wait, my love)

Innum pesa kooda thodangala (We have not even started talking)

En nenjamum konjamum neraiyale (And the heart is not filled even a little yet)

Ippo enna vittu pogathe enna vittu pogathe (Don't leave me and go now, don't leave me and go now)

Innum pesa kooda thodangala (We have not even started talking)

En nenjamum konjamum neraiyale (And the heart is not filled even a little yet)

Ipo mazhai pola nee vantha kadhal pola naan niraivaen (Now if you would come like the rain, I would fill like the sea)

Innum konjam neram iruntha thaan enna (Why can't you stay with me for some more time?)

Yen avasaram enna avasaram nillu ponnae (Why this hurry, what is this hurry? Wait, my love)


Malar stands up and attempts to leave but Vetri holds on to her hand.


Malar: Mama, I need to head back. Everyone, especially Aishwarya would be looking for me.

Vetri: Malar, it's been barely five minutes since we managed to sneak out from the house. It isn't fair to tell me that you are going back. We haven't even spoken anything.

Malar: But Mama...

Vetri: No buts. We are going to spend some time here. That's final.


Ithuvaraikum thaniyaga en manasa (Till now i had let my lonely heart)

Alaiyavittu alaiyavittu alaiyavittayae (wander)

Edhirpara nerathula ithayathila (At the unexpected time, in my heart)

Valaiyavittu valayavittu valayavittayae (You had put a net)


Malar sits down again. She looks at Vetri who had an innocent look on his face. Malar smiles to herself. This man had not only captured her heart; he was capable of making her heart melt. She thinks of all the excuses she had to come up with just to get some time to spend with her husband. And here they were finally, after planning since morning.


Nee vanthu vanthu poyen antha alaigala pola (You keep coming and going like the waves)

Vanthu un kaiyila maatikuvaen valaiyala pola (If i come, I will get caught like the bangle in your hand)

Un kannuketha azhaga vaaraen kaatiruda konjam (I will come the way you like, wait for sometime)

Nee ipadiyae thanthaalum thithikkume nenjam (Even if you give the way you are, my heart will be sweetened)


Vetri holds on to Malar's hand. He knew how much of work Malar had been doing since arriving here and he felt that they did not even get some time for themselves. Hence, he had decided to bring her out for a short while. Since Aishwarya's house was very near to the beach, the two of them had chosen to come here. As Vetri plays with Malar's fingers, Malar's phone starts ringing. Malar attempts to free her hand to answer the call but Vetri refuses to let go.


Innum konjam kaalam poruthaal thaan enna (Why can't you be patient for some more time)

Yen avasaram enna avasaram sollu kanne (Why this hurry, what is this hurry? Tell me , my dear)

Innum konjam kaalam poruthaal thaan enna (Why can't you be patient for some more time)

Yen avasaram enna avasaram sollu kanne (Why this hurry, what is this hurry? Tell me , my dear)


Malar: Please Mama. The call is from Aishwarya's mother. I have to go.


Vetri shakes his head as if signalling no.


Malar: I promise i'll meet you at the balcony tonight. We can talk there.


Kadhal maatha aanaiyaga uyirodu unnakaga kathirupaen kaathirupaenya (I swear on the goddess of the sea that I will stay alive and wait for you)

En kannu rendum mayanguthae manyaguthae unnidam sollave thayanguthae (Both my eyes are mesmerized and I am hesitant to tell you)

Intha uppu kaathu inikkuthu (This salty air is sweet)

Unnaiyum ennaiyum ilukuthu (It is attracting you and me)

Unna iluka enna iluka en manasu neraiyume (It is pulling you and me and my heart will be filled)

Intha meen udambu vaasana ennai nee thotthatum manakkuthae (This fish smelling body is getting fragrant the moment you touch me)

Intha iravellam nee pesu thalaiyaati naan rasipaenae (You talk the whole night, I will nod my head and listen to you)


Seeing Vetri becoming dull, Malar leans in close to him. Vetri engulfs her in a side hug.


Vetri: We haven't had time to even sit down like this since we came. I totally understand that wedding festivities can be time consuming but it's so hard to have you nearby yet be so distant.


Malar touches Vetri's cheek with her hand and looks up at him.


Malar: This time tomorrow, we would be on our way home. We will have so much time together.

Vetri: But another day like this is pure torture.


Innum konjam neram iruntha thaan enna (Why can't you stay with me for some more time?)

Yen avasaram enna avasaram nillu ponnae (Why this hurry, what is this hurry? Wait, my love)


Malar gives Vetri a kiss on his cheek.


Malar: It's time for me to get back.

Vetri: Must you really go?

Malar: If you ask me like this, how can I go?

Vetri: Then don't go

Malar: Mama, please let me go.


Malar breaks away from the hug and stands up. Vetri thinks for a moment and stands up.


Nee en kanna pola irukkanum (You should be like my eyes)

En pullaiku thagappan aaganum (You should be the father to my children)

Antha alai oram namma pasanga konji vilayadanum (Our children must play in the waves)

Nee sonthamaga kidaikanum (You must become mine)

Nee sonnathellam nadakkanum (Whatever you said must happen)

Namma ulagam onnu indru thaan uruvakanum (We must start creating our own world from today)


Malar looks at Vetri.


Vetri: Let's head back. But on one condition.


Before Malar could even ask, he sweeps her off her feet and starts walking.


Malar: Mama...

Vetri: I'm carrying you back


Malar smiles and holds on to Vetri. The two of them head back with a huge smile on their faces.
