Mullaikaaga Kathirin Thedal

~ Harsh Reality ~

The next morning Meena had called Mullai and cried her heart out to her. She was so disappointed by how Jeeva always puts his family first before her. Mullai thought that she shouldn't have suggested a bigger crowd too. She knew how much Meena needed some time alone with Jeeva. She forgot to think from Meena's point of view and she felt guilty for ruining the one chance Meena got. She couldn't find the right words to console her but all Meena wanted was someone to listen.

When she finally hung up, Mullai was distressed that she also had been inconsiderate about a person's simplest wish of having some personal time with her husband. Mullai too felt that Dhanam had been insensitive when it came to leaving her and Meena to take care of Kathir and Jeeva. She does everything for them and she only gets satisfied when she does it by herself. Mullai still can't decide the menu for dinners and breakfasts without Dhanam's approval even when she cooks.

Mullai knew why Dhanam is so obsessed with everyone in the family and she even takes care of herself and Meena with all her heart. She was the pillar of this family at a very crucial time and someone selfish in her place might have ruined everything they all have now. She had been selfless all these years and she thinks everyone should be the same. Mullai had always thought that Meena's dissatisfaction will break out big one day if everyone pushes it aside every time a problem arises. Jeeva's character was something she was so confused about.

Why did he fall in love when his family comes first for him in everything? He can't just love a girl and bring her to a place that is completely opposite to her expectations. She is bearing all the bad name from almost everyone in the family even Kathir and Kanna showed their disapproval in Meena's behaviour many a times. If Jeeva had not conveyed it right before marriage, he should be standing by her when it's necessary and not let her swim in a pool of neglect from everywhere around her.

With these thoughts running in her mind, she finished her household chores and packed lunch for everyone in the shop and left there by late morning. When she reached, they were all glad that she came with some food. Since the load from godown came today, Saravanan and Kathir were exhausted with continuous physical work for hours. Kumaresan mama was fed up handling all the customers by himself. When Mullai arrived, she handled the customers and let them eat peacefully and take some rest. By evening, Saravanan left for the deliveries and Kumaresan mama went home exhausted.

Mullai had been noticing the changes in the way Kathir looked at her these days. There was ample love always but that naughty glint these days didn't go unnoticed by her. They were having their tea and coffee when Mullai couldn't anymore take his unwavering looks. She had been getting distracted many times from afternoon by just the way he looked at her.
