Will & wish

முதலாம் பார்வையிலே மனதை ஈர்ப்பாளே

Somehow, God had listened to the prayers of Dharshan and few readers, even before the red ink could mark its presence on the paper, the yesteryear kadaikutty of the family made an untimely entry. Dharshan let out a huge puff of air, he knew his kanna chithapa will distract his teacher chithapa with his antics and NGO talks.

Kanna: Annan, 4 naal school leave vitrukannga...enjoy panuviya, adha vitutu paper um kayuma ukandiruka..

Adhuvum indha podi payal aa vera pakathula ukara vachitu tension ethi vitutu iruka...

Dharshan: apdi solunga chithapa...

Kathir gave a glare to Dharshan.

Kanna: dei ...konjam gammunu irukiya...he mimicked with his hands...

Dharshan nodded his head and maintained silence.

Kathir: inga irundha enna neenga disturb panuvinga, naan room ku poren.....

Dharshan let out a happy smile...

Kathir: overa sandosha padadha da...and he went giving a whack on his head. But not before letting out a small request for some more tea.

Though Dharshan was his nephew, he somehow found only the old teenage Kanna in him and so his relationship had evolved in that means.

Meena who was bringing a fresh batch of tea for kathir, was pleasantly surprised seeing kanna at this time.

Meena: kanna, enna da indha nerathula veetuku vandiruka? Inaiku edho pudhu incharge varanga nu sonna....

Late aa la varanum apdi na nee..

Dhanam: aaman la....apram epdi da ivalo seekram..

Dharshan: chithi, modhala poi chithapa ku tea kuduthitu vaanga, illa avaru repeat adichu hall ku vandiruvaru....

Meena went to give kathir his tea.

Dhanam: kathir um nee um apdi close....enamo annan thambi madiri dhan pesuvinga.... aana indha tamizh apram test nu vandha matum ipdi keeriyum pambumagavendiyadhu....

Kanna: anni, annan aa pathi esuna kooda annan thitadhu aana tamizh aa pathi oru vartha sonna veeda rendakidum...ivanuka suttu potalum tamizh vara matingidhu...illa da....

He ruffled the boy's head....

Dhar: enna kalaichadu podum, modhala neenga unga pudhu incharge pathi solunga...

Kanna: ada pudhu incharge vandanga da, naan kooda avunga pera ketu edo oldie vara poranga nu nenachen....

Patha apdi illa...

Vandhadu oru ponnu anni. Enna vida oru 1 2 vayasu periyavunga avalo dhan..

Dhanam: en da...apdi enna da peru....pera vache vayasu yosikara alavuku...

Kanna: apdi oru peru naan nama family la ketadhe illa...

Dharshan: build up kudukama, pera solu chithapa.

Kanna: mulla....

Dharshan: mulllaya? Mulla nu ellama indha kalathula per vepanga...

Kanna: naan kooda adhan da nenachen...mulla...vaadamali....kanangambaram nu per vechadum...oru 50 years la oruthavungala expect panen...

Dhanam: mulla nu peru ku enna da korachal, nala tamizh peru...

Kanna: kathir annan dialogue aa neenga yen anni pesuringa...

On seeing blank stare from her,

Kanna: aama , annan dhane tamizh per, azhagana peru nu varnikum...neenga enna role reversal panitu irukinga...

Dhanam: kozhupu da unaku....

And she left.....as Lakshmi amma was calling her. Dharshan and Kanna also left to their room

Kanna and Dharshan are more close to each other, they are more of friends than nephew- uncle with only age gap of 10. That was the beauty of his relationship with each fatherly figure of his life, Moorthy was a stern dad, Jeeva was a sweet Chithapa, Kathir was more of a brother and Kanna was more of a friend and room mate.

Dharshan should call kanna as only Chithaps, was a pact they made sometime in this decade when they started sharing room, especially when they are in their room.

They reached the room, locked it, plugged in their PS4 and started the Football league ..

Sometime while playing,

Dharshan: chithaps, peru matum dhan old fashioned aa illa aale apdi dhana...

Kanna: yaara da solra?

Dharsha: ada adhan unga new incharge....

Kanna: ayyao...only name....

Aalu chumma semma bold types da...

Dhar: adha epdi chithaps ivalo confirm aa solra? He asked with a teasing look.

Kanna: dei apdi pakadha da, naan onnum panla

Dhar: nee pana nu naan epo sonen...he laughed...

Kanna: adei en friend guna, light aa flirt pana try panan....oru look vitanga paru...

Payyan, 4 adi pinadi vantan na pathuko...

Dharsahn: character sketch romba balama iruke, ivungala pakanum nu feel agudhe...photo iruka?

Kanna: photo eduka koopta apdiye vandu ninditu dhan maru vela papanga....avunga konjam introvert nu nenaikuren...

Avalo easy going aa therla, and first day dhane....

Poga poga dhan theriyum....

Dharshan: naan onnu solata?

Kanan: venam na solama irupiya?

Dharshan: haha...nee out chithaps....

True, when kanna was busy describing about his new incharge, Dharshan had smartly played and made his team win.

Kanna: dei unna.....

Dharshan: enna?

Kanna: adutha tharava varuva la...exam ...kondu po nu apo iruku...

Dharshan: innum 6 eh masam dan, ayya college poiduven, own bike la povom...

Kanna: nala kanavu kanra da, school la vandha same nelamai dhan apovum, nama kudumbathula, unaku bike vangi kuduthitu dan maru vela papanga....All the best...ipo vaa next round la unna epdi jeikaren nu matu paru...

And they resumed the game.

Elsewhere, few kilometers away,

One soul was sitting, her fingers and eyes were busy searching and scrolling something on her Macbook. A clear look at the laptop screen, showed the search results for houses for rent near me.

Mullai: shoo...oru veedu kedaikudha vadagaiku ku...... ponnuku eppdi vadagai ku vidaradhu nu athana notu ...munna lan pasangaluku ku dhan indha nelama naa ipo namakum idhe nelama dhan polaye...

Evalo naal dhan ipdi hotel la thanga, cha....

Oru veedu kadaika kooda sibarisu venum polaye......namaku vera indha oorla yaarayum theriyadhu....yaar kita udhavi nu kekka...

She was so frustrated, first being the rainy season and second she couldn't find a house for rent. She did try her luck by asking out to the few women members in the NGO.

All the houses they suggested didn't prefer having a woman as the sole tenant.

Mullai: gramam na oru veedu kedaikaradhu sulabama irukum nu patha, idhuku Chennai eh paravala pola, oru veedu kandu pudika ivalo kashtapadala nama...

Then her mind went to the guys in her team...two were too young just passed out graduates...

Ada andha pasangaluku theriyum nu thonala, andha guna kita, ayyayo venave venam, seri andha kannan kita kepom nalaiku edachum therinja veedu unda nu...
