Quarantined together

An apology

When mulla finally wakes up it is dark all around. She is a little out of sorts not knowing where she is.. She just notices she is holding someone's hand. A rough but warm hand and it is sort of nice. She feels comfortable and cozy as she snuggles into someone for a second before realization hits her that it's a man next to her.  She sits up shocked letting go of the hand instantly. She looks around and dimly recognizes it is her room. Who is next to her in here? She switches on the light in her bedside and finds kathir sleeping peacefully in her bed.

Mulla is taken aback. Some memories come flooding back. She remembers the crushing disappointment of not being able to go home and shouting at him in the hallway, Her fight on the phone with rajesh and then kathir asking her to come out to eat. She knows she shut the door in his face rudely. She was ashamed of her behaviour to him. She had had a fight with rajesh and had shown the anger at kathir again unreasonably. She was so upset the she had cried herself to sleep. But how did he get into her bed.  And why were they sleeping holding hands? 

No matter how much she takes her brain she doesnt remember anything else. She just knows one thing, he was not someone who does this intentionally. She doesnt know why but she doesnt think he had any bad intention with her. She just trusts him instinctively.  Even after seeing him there in her bed she knows there must be some reasonable explanation as to why he is there'sq . She was the one who behaved badly after all that he had done for her. She looks at him and finally gathers the courage to call out his name to wake him.

M- Kathiru.. Kathiru...

He wakes up a little sleepily. He like her takes a moment to look around to find out where he is. His eyes scan the unfamiliar room confused until they land on her. He sits up straighter goes and touches her forehead. She is taken aback by this unexpected touch.

K - Udambu epidi iruku unaku??

M- Hmm. Paravailla.. Nee... inga epdi??

Kathir looks at her surprised. She obviously doesnt remember what happened in the afternoon. He suddenly realises that she is upset. Well she would be he was in her bed next to her. She is sure to be scared. But it was not his fault. Well.. partly it is his fault as he dint intend to sleep there. Just stay a few minutes and leave but he had fallen asleep. Now how could he explain to her? He feels angry... with her or the situation he doesn't know..

K- En keka mata.? Un patuku Kathitu poita. Mathiyam kathava thatina nee pathi mayakathula irutha tharakala. Udambu kothikuthu. Enaku ena seiarthune therila.. Mathra podu na kekriya.. Unaku sapdu kuduthu mathra poda vechu.. Oru vazhi aiten..

M- Hmm.. apa en.. nee en pakathula.. roomla.. ?

Kathir looks a little upset and mullai falls silent. She doesnt know how to ask him without offending him. He already looks mad. He doesnt know how to tell her he just fell asleep. He is embarrassed but mostly angry. He doesnt even know why he feels so.. After a minute of silence he cannot take it anymore

K irritated- Na onum aasaya inga thunglala. Kaiya pudichukitu vidala nee. Apidiye asanthu thugiten. Nee vera etho olarituirutha. Una thaniya vida bayama iruthuchu.. Ena seiya solra?

He gets up and goes to the hall tensed. He is sure she has mistaken him as some common creep. He doesnt even know how to make her understand it was not intentional.

She stands there in her room for a minute gathering her thoughts before following him. He is sitting in the sofa looking sullen

M- Kathiru.. Na..

K- Ethum thapana enathula.. Na anga varala... Anga chumma okanthukitu.. Apidiye thavari thugiten... Manichudu.. Vera..

M- Ila ila.. Na thapa neikala.. Una angaa pathathum taknu.. Athan.. Na than sorry kekanum.. Un kita.

Kathir doesn't say anything he just sits silently not looking at her. She takes a deep breath.

M- Na kovathula etho etho thapa pesiten. Oorku poha mudila gara varutham, udambu vera mudila. 14 naal vera Velila poha kudathu nu solitanga.. Ena seirathunu therila.. Kovam  varutham, pathatam, Thala vali elam serthu.  Elarmelayum kadupa vera iruthuchu atha na un kita kamichuten. Thapu than. Nee Enala matum tha inga matikita. Enaku uthavi seiya than nee inga vantha..  Na nandri keta thanama... sorry.
