The Tea Trail

Nanmai vilaivikkum kuzhappangal

Kathir and Mullai were in their own happy world..

They were getting really close with each other..comfortable with each other's proximity..so much so that Kathir kept finding excuses to come home during the day..and Mullai looked forward to those visits regularly

It also became a habit for her to call him randomly..whenever he saw her name  flash on the screen

Kathir MV : nammala pathi yosichutta

The calls would usually be simple sweet nothings where neither had nothing pertinent to say..they almost always ended with her asking him if he could come home

The happiness on both their faces when he made those midday visits was a sight to behold

They were in the first week of December

Jeeva spoke to Kathir

Jeeva : Dei Kathiru..first year anniversary varuthu ille..

Kathir : ahn ethu nne

Jeeva : elay..namma wedding anniversary da

Kathir : amaam varuthu

Jeeva : athaan ethaavathu plan pannanum da..2 perukkum ore naal thaane..athaan sernthu ethavathu pannalaamaannu yosichen

Kathir : Kodaikanal maranthu pocho...he asked with a naughty tongue in cheek grin

Jeeva stood there looking sheepish..kathir had a point..

Jeeva : Correct thaan..aana 2 perum thaniya plan pannaalum ethavathu sernthum plan pannanum da...

Kathir : hmmm pannidalaam nne

They sat thinking

In the meantime at home there was mounting tension around Meena's pregnancy being informed at her parents home

Jeeva : Meena romba kaduppula irukka da

Kathir : ennanne..intha nerathula avanga enna venum naalum pannattum nne..santhoshama irukkanum athu thaane mukkiyam

Jeeva : puriyuthu da..aana anna anni nalla naal paarthu avanga veettula sollanumnu solluraanga..aanaa ivalukku udane sollanum

Kathir : anne jega maama veettula ellarukkum theriyum..Mullai veettulayum theriyum..aana Meena anni veetla mattum avanga pregnant nu theriyathu..ithu kekkave seriya illenne

Jeeva : ippo ennada pandrathu..pesaama naan poi sollittu varattuma

Kathir : ippudi venaa seyyalaamaa..Meena anni amma koilku saayankaalam varuvaanga ille anga poi avanga kitta vishayatha solli..anna anni nalla naalaa veettukku vanthu sollanumnu irukkaanga..ennikku ungalukku vasathi padumnu kettutta..

Jeeva : ithu nalla yosanai da..naan innikke poren

Kathir: venumna sollu nne naanum varen

Jeeva : thanks da..neeyum va..oru thonaiya irukkum

Kathir : yenne Mullai kitta vena solli avala koottittu polaama..ladies sentiment work out aagalaam ille

Jeeva : athuvum nalla yosanai thaan..seri da nee pesu..

They went about their individual responsibilities for the day..but Kathir's mind was occupied with the discussion he had with Jeeva..

He recalled how their wedding happened..every one crying and sad..

But today..it all felt like a distant memory..he smiled..

And he knew what needed to be done

He called Mullai
