The Tea Trail

MallIgaiye!! Malligaiye!!

He had asked her when her birthday was
Mullai : mudinja neengale kandupidinga..(she had playfully challenged)
Kathir : (had shrugged it off) kandu pudikkaraaha..
But once he turned around, he was thinking of various ways of finding it out..anni kitta kekkalaamaa..vendaam..theriyumannu theriyale..vera yaara kekkalaam??pesaama iva appa kitta kekkalaamaa??paarthu kekkanum..hmm yosippom and with these languid thoughts he drifted off to sleep..

But the next morning while he was getting ready,

Mullai : Nov, 26th

Kathir : (understood but wanting to pull her leg) ethu

Mullai : Nethu ketteehale
Kathir : ennatha ketten..athe nov maasam tharaporaya..ippo june maasam thaan aaguthu..appudi ennatha 4-5 maasama thayaar panni thara pore

Mullai: hmmmkmmm..ketteengale nnu sonna..rombathaanga urandai izhukkareenga

Kathir : ketta udane sonna naanga yen orandai izhukka porom

Mullai : appo ennannu therinjukitte thaane

Kathir : ahn theriyuthu theriyuthu

Mullai had then asked him for his..

Kathir : athu yaarukku theriyum..

Mullai : ennathu unga porantha naal ennikku theriyaatha
And the banter had continued for some time
Kathir : Aug 1..
Mullai : therinjukitte thaan ivvalavu neram ottineehala..
Kathir : po poi idly ku chutney panna poren sonnala athe pannu..

The morning started off well as well..

But then the nastiness was dumped on her

Meena : enga neenga thaan Jeeva kitta en bday pathi sonneengala..

Mullai : oh sollittaahala..neenga kashta pattathu enakkum oru mathiri irunthuchu..(she smiled)

Meena : romba kashtama irunthuchu athaan unga kitta sonnen..aana ungala yaaru Jeeva kitta solla sonnathu

Mullai : sorrynga..ungala santhosha paduthathaan

Meena : athuvum neenga solli Jeeva yen bday kondaadinathu enakku suthama pidikkale

Mullai was stunned by this accusation but unfortunately Meena did not stop there

Meena : innime thayavu senju enakku nallathu pandrennu ethuvum pannatheenga..

Mullai : enga intha chinna vishayathukkupoi

Meena : (had cut her off) amaam ippudi thaan neenga adikkadi Jeeva kitta phone la pesuveengala

There she had asked it..

Mullai was extremely hurt and disgusted..she and Meena shared a good equation or so she thought..this was unexpected..the suddenness of it completely shocked and left her speechless..

To have this thrown at her face when she was just beginning to forget it was also hurtful

Kanna had witnessed the whole thing and defended Mullai..but Meena was like bulldozer crushing everybody in her path

Mullai went to the room upset..

In the night, Kanna had told this to his brothers

Both Jeeva and Kathir went to the room..one expecting a conversation and the other wanting to have one

Jeeva had his talk with Meena..Meena knew she had gone overboard too..

In KM room

Mullai looked forlorn..

A part of him wanted to speak to her..but the other half wondered if she wanted to talk about it again..

Kathir : thoongalaya
