************************************
The following morning, Kathir and Mullai don't feel like going to work...
She somehow drags herself out of the bed and gets ready, since she woke up late, he has thoughtfully bought breakfast for them...
K: Lunch ku ennae pannuvae Mullai?
M: College leh, cafeteria saapadu super ah irrukum nu kelvi patten.... I'll eat there...
She leaves in a hurry but not before kissing him hard on his mouth and telling him that she'll be thinking about him all through the day..
And she does... She has two free hours that day...
And in the staff room, Mullai pretends to read something but her mind is fully on him...
Flashbacks of the previous night assail her mind...
Her lower stomach clenches painfully... Just like hunger...
The sweet nothings that he whispered in her ear...
And the best part... Falling asleep in his arms...
The staff room is cool but beads of sweat, line her upper lip as she fans her face...
She can't wait to go home and spend time with him...
By 3 o clock that afternoon, she is back home and awaiting his return eagerly...
Later that evening, she gets a phone call from him...
K: Mullai...yehn friend, bike eh eduthuttu poierukkan... Free ah irrunthae nah... Ennae vanthu pick up pannuriyah?
M: Illae... Ennae vanthu pick up pannu nu urimaiyae sollu... Appo dhan varuven...
He laughs...
K: Va Mullai...vanthu pick up pannu...
*****
He introduces her to his colleagues...
And they seem to be such a fun gang...
Kathir then asks for her bike key...
M: Oru change ku naan otturen... Nee pinnadi ukkaru...
He does it...
K: Ithuvum nallae dhan irruku... He says holding her waist for a moment and then letting go..
M: Kathir... Ennaku bullet ottae solli thariyah?
K: Hmmm... Eppo nu sollu... Thodangi de lam...
M: Rombhae onnum kashtama irrukathu nu nenaikurren...
K: Seri.. Madam, fees ennae?
M: Fees ah? Ithellam rombhae over Kathir...
K: Seri vidu... Katthu kuduthae perahu kekkuren...
She stops at a medical shop...
He gets worried...
K: Ennae Mullai...pad vangittu varae va?
M: Vangittu vanthu...vandi munnadi nillu...appadiyae yetthidurren...
He still doesnt get it...
M:Medical shop naalae verum pad mattum dhan kedaikkumah? Verae ethumae irrukatha, Nethu night...ennathae vanganom nu avasare avasare ma kelambunae?
Enlightenment dawns on his face and he rubs his forehead as though berating himself for forgetting.
K: Paarvalae Mullai... Unnaku aachom nyabagam vanthuthae...
