The Tea Trail

Sivarathri..

Mullai had fought with her mom for not treating her husband right 

Ippidi thaan saappudum pothu pesuveengala - She had asked

Avuha onnum anga saappaadu illaama inga varala...enakkaaga thaan vanthaaha - She had told her mom

Amaam ma sonnen thaan avuha athigama pesamaattaangannu..athukkunnu nee vaaikku vanthathu pesuvaiya - She had challenged

Ivuha ennana kailaye kozhamba ootharaanga -- She had accused Kasthuri attachi

Avuhalukku thaane ennaiya katti vacheegha..appo athu thaane yen vaazhkai..appo oh naan nalla irukka koodathunu nenaikkareengalo...appudi thaane - She had yelled

Pothum maa kooptu vechu asinga paduthuteengalle..Innime intha veettu pakkame naan vara maatten - She had vowed

And with that she had left..minutes after Kathir had left...her dad had dropped her back..

But Kathir was not prepared for Mullai's behaviour that night...she was icing him out..

He couldn't for the life of him understand why..

The next day he didn't get his usual TEA.. He thought she was as usual projecting onto him her frustration on others..It irked him but as was his nature he took it in stride..

Unable to conjure up any other reason..He decided to let her cool off..

She didn't make him his tea..The fact that this affected him was what irritated him the most..

At the PS Home 

The ladies (Dhanam, Meena and Lakshmi Amma)were putting a plan in motion..

Operation Sivarathiri Thookkamethu !!

The plan was to leave Kathir and Mullai at home alone and for the rest of the family to stay in their family deity's temple overnight..

Dhanam : Mullai Jeeva kalyanthukku munnadi kudumbama koilkku vanthu oru rathiri thangartha venduthal onnu irukku

Mullai : Poittu varalaamkka..nalla irukkum..enikku poganum

Meena : Ahn athu innikku night...aana yaaru ellam poganumnu thaan yosikkaraanga..

Mullai : yen ka ellarum pogalaya?

Dhanam : Athaan Mullai...anga poojai nadakkum pothu veetta inga pootti poda koodaathu..

Mullai : Oh..pakkathu veettu Sundari akka va vena inga padukka sollalaamaa

L Amma : Ille Ma..Kudumbathulernthu oruthar thanganum..Dhanathukku thaan ellam pooja sammanthama theriyum...Moorthy iruntha anga pooja erpaadellam correct ah nadakkum..

DHanam : Aamaam Mullai..naanum avuhalum poganum..Meena nee vena inga irukkiya..

Meena : Ahn naan thaniya eppudinga..bayama irukkum ille..

L Amma : Naan vena irukkattuma..

Dhanam and Meena exchanged shocked glances...

Dhanam : Kudumbamaanna neenga illama eppudi athai..

Mullai : appo naanum Meenavum intha kudumbam illiya akka..

Dhanam again shocked

L Amma : appudi ille Mullai..Ithu kalyanathukku munnadi panna venduthal...athaan neeyum Meenavum illena kooda thappu ille...

Meena : appo intha venduthala kalyanathukku munnadi senjurintheenganna veetta eppudi theranthu vechu iruppeenga?

Now it was L amma and Dhanam's turn to go shell shocked...
