In the evening of Aug 1st
Mullai was all happy and chirpy ..
Earlier that morning Dhanam's mom had called to ask her if she could come for lunch at a neighbor's place
They were going to conduct a small pooja and then serve lunch for married women..there was a specific count and they were falling short by one ..so her mom had offered to check with her
Dhanam had left for that but not before giving a ton of instructions..she was ignoring Mullai and saying all that to Meena
And Mullai had walked off her head low
Dhanam heaved a sigh and continued her rant in the name of instructions
But was effectively snubbed by Meena as well
Yenga ennavo neenga ille na intha veede sthambichu poi ninnudum range ku build up kudukkaatheenga ..neenga kelambunga..inga nadakka vendiyathu thaanaa nadakkum
And Meena had walked off as well
Ivalukku enna vanthuchu Dhanam stood thinking
The plan was for her to be picked up by Moorthy from her mom's place after the shop closed for the day
Mullai was happy
She could execute her plan now without any intervention
Earlier that morning she had been in luck
She rubbed her hand in glee
Ennanga ore santhoshama irukkeenga
Innikku avuhalukku birthday
Kathirukka achacho theriyaama pochu..Jeeva kooda sollale ..avan enga yen birthday marantha mathiri Kathir birthday yum maranthu iruppaan
Meena scowled..enna kudumbamo she muttered
Athu ungalukku cake seyya theriyuma
Hmm theriyum
Solli thareengala
Oh thaaralamaa..oven iruntha easy..aanaa cookerlayum pannalaam
Ahn sooper..Night dinnerum asathidalaam she rubbed her hand again in joy
Meena looked a little frightened
And Mullai giggled
Kavalai padaatheenga dinner en poruppu
Meena laughed
Cha cha ella helpum naan pandren ..intha samaikkara part mattum neenga paarthukkonga..ellar nalam karuthi she smiled
And they started planning
Lakshmi amma saw them heads together planning and was happy
She looked at Mullai and felt bad really
Mullai was wondering how to find out what Kathir liked
Ella english kaayum pottu oru kuruma seiven Athu Kathirukku romba pudikkum she said
Both the younger girls looked up
Athu eppudi seyyanum solli thareengala Mullai asked eagerly
Oh solli thanthutta pochu
Athe mathiri Kesari eppovum pola illaama manja colour pottu..apple thrakshai pineapple ellam kutty kutty ya cut panni pottu panna appudi aasaiya saapiduvaan..paruppu paayasamum pudikkum ..ethaachum onnu sei ma she said
Mullai was excited now
Rice and a Vegetable Kuruma..mixed raitha..Rasam, Potato Fry, Cauliflower 65, appalam..omelette..and Kesari for dessert the menu was finalised
