New Beginnings....

Mullai's emotions...

So many days of longing to hold her, dreaming of holding her and now that she is in his arms, he doesn't want to let go of her, ever.

With his arms still tight around her, he asks...

K: Mahi eppadi irrukae? Ungae ellaraiyumae rombhae miss pannen Mullai, Aana avalae dhan alavukku athigamae miss pannen, I can't wait to see her again...

Mullai notices that his voice gets choked when he talks about Mahi, and she turns around to face him...

M: Kathir...avae..Mahi....ennae venam nu sollitah...

He bends to look at her sharply, at the hurt in her voice...

M: Aama... Nee dhan venumae, verae yarumae vendamah...

Tears roll down his cheeks and slither down to his beard...

She wipes it and holds him close...

K: Naan avalae vititu vanthirukae kudathu... Cha

He wipes his face and turns the other side... Not wanting to face her like this...

But she doesn't allow him to go... She grabs him around his waist and holds him tightly...

K: Pavam avae... Avloh innocent... avalukku onnumae purinirukathu..

M: Konjae nerathukku, yehn ponnuku naanae ethiri ayitten..

She presses her cheek against his back...

And he knows that she is crying too...

M: Aana innoru pakkam... Orae aachariyam... Eppadi avalum avae amma maariyae unnae ivloh deep ah love pannurae nu.....

He turns around and crushes her in a hug... A convulsive and a suffocating hug... And she loves it.... As if he'll die if he doesn't hug her right now.....

She rubs his back, from the top of his shoulders to his waist...

Repeating the soothing movements again and again until he calms down...

M: Kathir... Naan therapy ponathu Amma ku theriyathu... Of course, naan first time ponathu theriyum... Aana rendavathu thadavae ponathae patthi ethuvumae theriyathu... I did it secretly...

K: Ithu leh ennae oru stigma nu ennaku therilae... Udambu serilae na mattum doctor kitte ellarumae oduvangae... Aana athethu mind serilae nu doctor kitte pohae sonnae.. Nammalukku etho prechanae irrukure maari paapangae...

She agrees with him...

K: Mullai... Nammae... Nammae kalyanam eh pannikae vendam... Ippo irrukurae maariyeh irrunthiralam... Idhu vae nallae dhan irruku...

She smiles at him... A comforting smile.. Two months ago, she told him the same thing but he was not agreeing to it... Now it was the other way around...

M: Illae Kathir... I want to do this... Unmaiyae... But it will take some time... Aana ennaku confidence irruku... Nee yen kude irruke leh...

K: I swear that I will wait Mullai... Ohn therapist agree pannangae na, I'll come with you to your every session Mullai... Only if you want me there.. Illae na, I'll drop you... I'll pick you up.. Avungae nee idhae seinge, andhae exercise pannungae nu solluvangae leh... Athellam ozhungae seiriyae nu monitor pannuren...

He keeps talking...

M: I want you there with me... And Kathir... I think that it is time that we tell Mahi... Unnaiyum ennaiyum pathi...

His face glows with utter happiness...

K: Are you sure Mullai? Yosichi dhan mudivu yedukuriyah?
