Distance plays Cupid

11

After dinner, Kathir settled comfortably against the wall. He was happy, the day had been a very pleasant one for him. Although he was missing Mullai, missing her made him think of her and get reminded of her more often than ever. The feeling was more sweet, despite the tinge of bitterness.

It was close to 10pm.

Meanwhile at her house, Mullai had finished all her chores and was done for the day.

*ring*

Kathir's name flashed on her screen with a display picture of them together in Kodaikanal

An involuntary smile appeared on her face, and her cheeks progressively turned all shades of pink and red, all of it in a fraction of a second.

She went into a daze looking at her screen for a couple of seconds before she heard a voice from within

Manasaatchi: phone'a eduthu pesama paathute irundha podhuma?

Asadu vazhinjifying, Mullai picked up the call

Kathir heaved a sigh of relief
