Recap: Malini’s exam get over and Raghav take her for lunch along with Lekha and Arthi.
****************
Raghav who was working on an urgent work in the room felt the home being unsually calm for a long time. Malini who has get used to disturb and talk non-stop every twenty or thirty minutes has not entered the room for the past two hours. He had to finish the work which was very important but still he could not hold the curiosity to check on his family so he closed his laptop and went downstairs.
As he reached the last few steps of the staircase he saw Malini who was sitting with face on her palm leaning on the head rest of the sofa an tears rolling from the corner of her eyes. He panicked and rushed over to see her moms in the same state and fathers sat still except for the tears missing. He followed the direction of their gaze and found them drowned in the newly released movie on OTT Enna Solla pogirai in its climax. He smiled at his family and sat next to Malini and watched their expression until the movie ended.
Sujatha and Devika stood and left to kitchen without a word and Malini ran to their room crying. Raghav followed her and saw her sitting with her knees pulled to her chest and crying. He sat next to her and pulled her to his embrace.
Raghav: Enna ma. Movie thane Adhukku en ippai azhara? ( what dear ? Its just a movie and why do you cry for that ?)
Malini: Anjali pavam Raghav. Enakku romba kashtama irukku. Vikram, Anjalikaga thane andha Preethi ya act panna sonnan apram eppadi avanga rendu perum love pannuvanga. Neethanada song eppadi irundhuchu theriyuma adhu actually Anjaliku than deserved. Vikram andha Preethikku andha songum avalukku. Anjali love true theriyuma.
( Poor Anjali. I feel very bad. Vikram brought that preethi to act only to impress Anjali then how could they fall in love ? Do you know how good Neethanada song was ? Actually anjali deserved that song. Both Vikram and that song was snatched to that Preethi. You know Anjali’s was true love )
Raghav: hmm. True love adhanala dhan she was ready to give up for his happiness. If we love someone then avangalukkaga enna venumnalum seiya thonum.
(yes, it was true love and thats why she was ready to give up for his happiness. If we love someone then we will do anything for them)
Malini: hmmm.
Raghav: Seri. Unakku oru surprise news sollalam nu paathen but nee ippadi sogama irundha eppadi solradhu. ( Fine, I have a surprise but how will I reveal it if you are so sad ?)
Malini turned to him and wiped her tears with a smile.
Malini: No I m crying now. Tell me what it is?
Raghav: Appadi lam solla matten. Go wash your face and bring us a hot coffee. ( I won’t tell as it is. )
Malini glared at him but gave in as she knew him that he would not budge until she becomes normal so let to the washroom to refresh. Raghav smiled at her and returned to continue his work.
Malini came back with hot coffee and settled next to him. They were having the coffee and Malini’s eyes was fixed on Raghav to hear out the surprise.
Malini: Raghav surprise enna sollu pa. ( Raghav tell me what is the surprise)
Raghav: Coffee finish pannu. (Finish the coffee)
After they finished the coffee he held her hand and went down and called their parents to the living.
Lakshmikanthan : Yennada enna acchu? ( What happened boy ?)
Raghav: Ennoda office la enga marriage ku wish panna oru get together plan panni irukanga. So Saturday night nanum Maliniyu party ku porom. ( My office members have decided to throw a party to wish me for our marriage. Saturday night me and Malini has to go for that party )
Devika: Dey innum oru naal than irukku, ippo solra. Malini ku shopping panna venama? ( Hey there is just a day left for that and you are telling us now ? Shouldn’t we do shopping for Malini ?)
Raghav: I will take care of that. Actually they couldn’t come for my marriage and I m suppose to give a treat for them so I shared the expenses for the party. So it will be a party from our end too.
Malini: where is the party?
Raghav: Taj Fisherman cove in ECR. Seri I have my work. After finishing it will go shopping get ready.
Malini: Why ? I have already too many dresses. Adhuve podhum. ( That would sufficient for me)
Sujatha: Malini Raghav office la ellarum varuvanga adhunala nalla dress select panni podu. Raghav solrdratha kelu. ( Malini, there would be lot of people from Raghav’s office so choose some best dress and listen to what Raghav say)
Malini: hmm ok.
Raghav and Malini finished their shopping with all matching accessories.
Skip to Saturday Afternoon:
Raghav: Malini stylist konja nerathula varuvanga ella ready panniko. ( Malini, stylist will be here soon so keep everything ready )
Malini: Seri pa. (ok dear)
Devika: Malini vaa naa unakku help panren. ( Malini, come I will help you)
Devika and Sujatha went to Malini’s room and helped her.
Raghav was dressed in a peach shirt and black pant with black waist coat. His hair was well set and he looked like a model.
Raghav was waiting for her in the living and she came down in a peach crystal worked lehenga. she adorned with a thin kundan stone neck piece and matching danglers. Her hair was in loose curls and she looked like a fairy. The bright and thick nuptial thread looked ethereal in his eyes.
Devika: Devdha mathiri irukkada. ( you look like an angel)
Sujatha took evil eyes for both of them.
Krishnan: Veetukku vandha apram rendu perukkum suthi podunga. ( Once they return home take evil eyes off them)
He couldn’t take his eyes off her as she came down an stood next to him. He was lost in her that she poked his arms to bring him back to the reality.
Malini: Enna appadi paakura? ( why do you look like that ?)
Raghav: Onnum illa. Polama? (Nothing lets go)
Malini Mv: Eppadi irukken kooda sollala. ( He didn’t even say how do I look ?)
Malini: hmm polam. (ok lets go)
They sent the stylist and drove to the resort.
Malini: Raghav enakku romba shy ah irukku pa. ( Raghav I feel very shy )
Raghav: Yen ma? (Why dear )
Malini : illa unga office la ellarum eppadi react pannuvanga. (Nothing, just what will they react on seeing me ?)
Raghav: Maa unakku than already Sanjay, Prakash, Bala theriyum la apram enna. Aduvum illama enkooda thana irukka pora. ( You already know Sanjay, Prakash and Bala then what is the problem ? and moreover you will be with me all the time )
Malini: hmm correct than but naa ippo than college mudichirukken avanga appadi illala. (yeah you are right but I have just completed my college and they are like that )
Raghav: Malini ma yenna mela nambikka illaya. Appadi unna thaniya vitruvena. ( Malini don’t you trust me ? Do yo think I will leave you alone ?)
Malini: Loosa Raghav nee. Unna nambama irupena. ( Are you crazy ? How will I no ttrust you ?)
Raghav: Appo over think pannama vaa. I will take care. ( Then think too much about anything and come with me)
The Taj resort was all ready for the party. The employees had almost arrived. HR, Thendral and Raghav’s manager were all present for the party. Many appetizers and drinks were served for the employees.
Thendral: Prakash, Raghav eppo varuvaru ? ( when will Raghav come?)
Prakash: Avanum wifeum oru 5 mins la varuvanga. ( He and hsi wife will reach in 5 minutes )
Thendral: hmm ok.
Raghav called Prakash an informed him that he was reached the resort and will be inside in few minutes.
Prakash called the gathering and addressed them.
Prakash: Hi everybody. Welcome to all of you. so the hero and heroine of the day has arrived. Let us all welcome the newly wed Raghav and Mrs. Malini Raghav. Everyone applaused as Raghav entered with Malini holding his arm. There were cheers and glitters that popped to welome them.
Malini had a warm smile and greeted them as Raghav introduced them. His manager wished the couple or the wedding and presented them with a gift. Thendral came forward and wished the couple but her eyes were only on Raghav.
There were genuine wishes and many jealous eyes which stared on Malini for taking the handsome man from them. Malini could sense their gaze but ignored them.
Prakash, Sanjay and Bala hugged both Malini and Raghav and cheered them for the party. Everybody started with their dinner and settled in the tables arranged. Raghav and Malini sat in a table and his friends joined them. Bala got appetizers for Raghav and Malini. Thendral saw them being very casual with Malini and moved to their table.
Thendral: Shall I join you guys?
Sanjay: sure Thendral.
Thendral: hi! Malini so what is your qualification?
Bala: Thendral neenga HR than adhukku nu enna Malini interview panna poringala? ( Thendral we know you are a HR but are you planning to interview Malini ?)
Thendral: Chumma ketenga. ( I just asked casually)
Malini: I have finished B . Com.
Thara: Ohh. I m MBA in HR. Idhukku munnadi vera branch la work pannen recently I got transferred here. ( I was working in a different branch and got transferred here recently)
Malini: hmm ok.
Raghav: Maa, vera yedhachum sapda venuma? ( Dear , you want something to eat ?)
Sanjay: Malini panner kondu varava? ( Malini shall I get you panneer?)
Malini: Seri kondu vaanga. (ok get for me)
Bala: Dey Sanjay papa ku cheese balls kondu vaa. ( Hey bring cheese balls for our child)
Thendral: Do you guys know her already?
Bala: Nangalam onnukulla onnu. Ava enga thangaman thangachi. ( We are all close knits. She is our favourite sister)
Prakash: Ava illama nanum illa naa illama avalum illa. Thangachi… ( I m nothing without her and she is nothing without me. sister…)
Malini: Anneyyyy. (broooo)
She hugged Prakash who was sitting next to her. Thendral felt very jealous to see Malini getting all love from them but didn’t show it on her face. She excused and joined her friends who started to tease her.
Thendral: Please be quite.
Friend1: What, you were waiting for him to return after his brother marriage but he came after his marriage.
Friend2: How did he even marry her? She is not even to his standards.
Friend1: What did you speak with her?
Thendral: She has just finished college B . Com. Those guys call her papa.
Friend1: Papa va? Appo Raghav kozhandhiaya kalyanam pannitara? Appo matha vishayam la. (child ? So Raghav got married to a child is it ? Then what about other things ?)
Thendral: May be he was forced to marry her. She is too childish to be in a marriage.
Friend1: Ippadi irundha romance lam romba kashtam Raghav ku. ( It would be difficult to romance for Raghav if she is like that)
Malini and Raghav had their dinner and Malini asked Raghav for the directions for the restroom.
Raghav: come I will take you there.
Malini: Nee vazhi sollu I will go. ( You tell me the way and I will go myself)
He held her hand and walked while Thendral and her saw them walking them towards the restroom.
Friend1: Hey she is going to restroom. We will play a while with her.
Friend2: Restroom kooda thaniya poga theriyadha ponna iva. ( Is she a girl who doesn’t know to go rest room on her own ?)
Thendral stood and moved towards them.
Thendral: Hey where are you going ?
Raghav: Malini restroom poganum sonna. ( Malini wanted to go to the restroom)
Thenrdral: Ohh don’t I will take her. Malini come with me.
Raghav nodded his head and Malini went with her. They were washing hands in front of the mirror.
Thendral: Thaniya engayum ponadhu illaya? ( Haven’t you gone anywhere alone?)
Malini: Appadi lam illa. ( No, not like that)
Thendral: Illa restroom kooda Raghav kooda varare adhan ketten. ( No, Raghav was taking you to the rest room too ?)
Malini: He cares for me always.
Thendral: Romba pampering pola ( seems like too much of pampering) . But you know we need to grow up. Eppavum child ah irukka mudiyadhula. Men will need women afterall.
Malini felt uncomfortable and at the same time she didn’t want to give back to her as she was working in Raghav’s office. Anything that goes wrong because of Malini may affect Raghva’s reputation so she ignored and just smiled at her and came out of the restroom. Raghav saw her coming and went towards her and saw her eyes which held different emotions. Her hands trembled a little and he saw Thendral who was coming with a wide smile on her face. He knew Thendral had done something to upset Malini. He put his hand on Malini’s waist and pulled her close and walked back to the table.
Thendral returned to her friends with irritated face as she saw Raghav holding Malini close to him.
Friend1: Romba tension agadha. Oru chinna game vilayadalam . Unnoda tension pogum avalukku BP raise agum. ( Don’t be tensed, we will play a game and your tension will be relieved and her BP will raise)
Thendral: Enna game? ( what game ?)
Friend2: couple game than vera enna. New weds ku oru surprise kudu po. ( Couple game what else ? We will give a surprise to the newly weds)
Thendral hified with her friends for the plan.
