The Tea Trail

Oru Vibathu..

While things were moving along at this languid pace..the PS family had received an invitation for a wedding..

Till a few months back it was always Dhanam and Moorthy who went to represent the family..this time Moorthy asked Dhanam to send either Jeeva or Kathir

Saying this he had left to the shop..

Dhanam asked Jeeva to take Meena..at the shop Moorthy saw the card..he realised that this was a distant relative of Mullai on her  mom's side..he looked at Kathir and asked him to go attend it with Mullai

Moorthy : antha pullai Mullai ku phone panni sollu da..

Kathir : anne athu naan ethukku ne..neengalum anni yum thaane poveenga..

Moorthy: amaam da..ippo unakkum kalyanam aiduchu..ippo neeyum polaam da..

Kathir : anga yaar yaar ne theriyathu ne...yaarellaamo vanthu pesuvaanga...naan yaaru sollunga paarpomnu keppaanga paarunga...

Moorthy : (laughed) dei...evan da ivan...ithu Parvathy athai oda thoorathu sontham...Mullai pona nalla irukkum

Kathir : seriya pochu (he murmured)

Moorthy : ele Kathiru...

Kathir : seri nne ..serinne...

Moorthy : mothalle antha pullaiku phone podunnen..(he reached into his draw to check her number on his phone..but when he looked up Kathir was already dialing her number) 

Moorthy and Kumaresan exchanged happy glances as kathir walked out to the entrance

Kathir : ahn naan thaan

Mullai : naan thaan na

Kathir : yen ippo phone pannum pothu..per varlaya...

Mullai : illiye...verum number thaan vanthuchu..

Kathir : yaarunne theriyaathavanga kitta ennatha pesurathu...naan veikkaren

Mullai : Yenga yenga...sollunga..

Kathir : oh ippo mattum eppudi theriyuthu

Mullai : hmmmkkkm...intha koralla thaane denaikkum ennaya orandai izhukkareenga...athaan konjam pesina odane theriyuthu..she giggled...

That sweet tinkling noise was like music to his ears

Kathir : innikku etho kalyaana reception irukkam...naama poittu vanthudalaam...anne sonnaaru

Mullai : oh appo anne sollalenna..koottittu poga maatteegalo..

Kathir : Kashtam thaan..velila pora onaana yaaraavathu vettila ..

Mullai : ennannu....

Kathir : nee varlennu sollittenu...

Mullai : aathi..neenga senjaalum seiveenga...naan varen

Kathir smiled...he enjoyed these banters...

Kathir : Naan oru 5 maniku varen...oru 5:30 ka kelambalaam

Mullai : hmm seringa...naan veikkaren..

Mullai was happy...This was probably the first time they were going out just the 2 of them...She got ready looing pretty in a green saree..

Kathir reached home and saw his anni stringing flowers and just to while time he learnt it from her...

Mullai by this time got ready....Dhanam gave the flower strung by Kathir...Mullai took it with a surprised expression..
