Mazhai Vara Pogudhae
Thuligalum thoorudhae
Nanayaamal enna seiven

Malarvanam moodudhae
Madhuramum oorudhae
Tholayaamal engae poven


Vetri adjusts his hair while looking at his reflection in the mirror. He winks at himself before breaking out into a big smile. The moment he had been eagerly waiting for was finally here.


Pugai pola venpanjaai
Midhakindra en nenjai
Edhai seidhu meetpen
Evar solli ketpen

Kadal pondra kannalae
Enai vaari sendralae
Ilandhenae indru
Irundhaalum nandru

Analmelae konjam
Punalmelae konjam
Thadumaari nirkkum
En nenjam


He takes his bike key and races down the stairs. At the hall, he sees Anbukarasi walking to the main door and gives her a big smile.


Anbukarasi: Ennada Vetri ...

Vetri: Amma, naan aprama pesuraen

Anbukarasi: Dei ...

Vetri: Bye Amma


Mazhai Vara Pogudhae
Thuligalum thoorudhae
Nanayaamal enna seiven

Malarvanam moodudhae
Madhuramum oorudhae
Tholayaamal engae poven


Before Anbukarasi could say anything else, Vetri runs out of the house and heads over to his bike. He starts the bike and rides off. Anbukarasi watches as Vetri rides off and smiles. As the wind caresses Vetri's cheek, his smile widens even more.


Karu karu kangalaal
Kayalvizhiyi kolgiraal
Valithaalum yedho sugam

Kulivilum kannathil
Kudiyiru engiraal
Vilayillaa aayul varam


Vetri had always been a safe rider and today was no exception. However, the ten minute journey felt like aeons. As he stopped his bike outside his destination, seeing the door locked dimmed Vetri's smile a little. Knowing that he could not wait any longer, Vetri takes out his mobile to make a call. He unlocks his phone and there on his wallpaper was his recent favourite picture of them.

A few weeks ago, Vetri had worn a brand new shirt and had been taking pictures of himself when all of a sudden, Malar had photobombed that picture. Malar had then proceeded to set that goofy picture as Vetri's wallpaper. Seeing her goofy face made Vetri's smile reappear.


Nila thoongum megathil
Kanaa kaanum nerathil
Avalthanae vandhaal
Anaikkaamal sendraal
Imai rendum moodaadhu
Urakkangal varaadhu
Adhai kadhal endraal
Avalthanae thandhaal

Nadanthaalum munnae
Kadandhaalum pinnae
Manamengum aval niyabagam


Instead of calling Malar, Vetri opens his gallery and starts to scroll through all the pictures. Each picture told a different story and all Vetri could see was Malar, regardless of whether the picture had the two of them or the rest of the family. Vetri continues to lean against his bike while admiring Malar in the pictures.


Kannai katti vittaalkooda
Pattaampoochi poovai thedum
Mazhai endraal mannai thanae
Vandhu serum

Ei endhapakkam nirikkindraayo
Andha pakkam kangal pogum
Munnum pinnum nee nadandhaal
Oojalaadum


Halfway, Vetri stops scrolling and stands upright. His gaze goes towards the front door which was still closed. Yet, Vetri's heart was thumping. He knew Malar was somewhere nearby. He looks around but there was no one to be found.

Feeling dejected, Vetri settles himself against the bike again when,


"Surprise!"


Vetri turns to see Malar looking at him.


Sulalum mayil nee ohoho
Un thogai enthozhil
Sugamaai puralum ohoho
Paarpen en vazhnaalil


Before she could say anything else, Vetri engulfs her into a hug.


Mazhai Vara Pogudhae
Thuligalum thoorudhae
Nanayaamal enna seiven

Malarvanam moodudhae
Madhuramum oorudhae
Tholayaamal engae poven


Vetri: Unna romba miss pannaen di!

Malar: Nejama?

Vetri: Sathiyama

The two of them break apart. Vetri continues to hold Malar's hand.

Malar: Ithu ungalukkae konjam too muchah theriyala Mama?

Vetri: Yaen?

Malar: Nethu raathiri 10 manikku thaan inga erakkiviteenga. Ippo mani 5. So oru ezhu mani neram thaan pirinji irukkom. Athukulla enna miss panneengala?

Vetri: Nee illatha ovoru nimidamum oru yugam aagum en kanmaniyae!

Malar giggles.


Pugai pola venpanjaai
Midhakindra en nenjai
Edhai seidhu meetpen
Evar solli ketpen

Kadal pondra kannalae
Enai vaari sendralae
Ilandhenae indru
Irundhaalum nandru

Analmelae konjam
Punalmelae konjam
Thadumaari nirkkum
En nenjam


Malar: Apadiya?

Vetri: Sathiyama ennala thoonga mudiyala. Athan unna parka oodi vanthutaen.


Before, they could speak further, the front door opens. The two of them look towards the direction of the sound and see Rasadurai looking at them.

Malar mutters under her breath "Acho Appa! Maanam pochu!" She then glances at Vetri before going in to the house quickly. Vetri smiles sheepishly at his Mama before following Malar into the house.

Rasadurai watches them walk in with a smile on his face. He knew that the two of them had fallen deep in love with each other and that was all that he wanted - for the two of them to be happy!
