Rojakka, Thanks.
Thanks to all the readers.
Anandham 1/19/08 Update. (Friday) Charu maam, be cool.
Recap of Abi and SKPD near the swimming pool. SKPD tells Abi that she is more intent on blaming him than saving him from the police. Abi tells him that the police and his enemies are waiting to trap and kill him. SKPD replies that, "I know how to save myself. All my enemies who wanted to kill me have gone to dust already."
Abi asks SKPD to go to the police and tell them the truth. SKPD is irritated and asks Abi to go away from there to some anjaneya temple. Abi tries once more to persuade him but SKPD dismisses her saying," nee pogalaamnu sollitten."
Abi leaves in disappointment. (appa, appa, sonna kekka maatteengalaa?)
Scene: Park. Some children are playing. One boy, Rocky is sitting alone with a paavam face. When his friend asks him to join everyone and play, he says,"varamaatten po. enakku pidikkalai." Girl asks him the reason and he says that amma has not come to see him. Girl defends amma saying she must have had some work. Rocky feels bad that work is more important then seeing them. Ding... Auto comes and there ..amma vandhuttaanga. All children cry in joy. Anitha comes with lots of bags with chocolates and goodies for the kids and distributes to them. She asks where Rocky is and walks towards him. She meets the warden on the way. Warden praises Anitha that she has come to see the kids inspite of her personal problems about Arjun hiding etc. Anitha says that she comes only once a week to see the children and it is not fair to punish them because of her worries. She says that visiting the children once a week is jujubee when compared to the warden's service to the children. She meets Rocky and convinces him with new clothes for his birthday. Rocky says he is not happy about everyone calling her amma. He wants her to be amma only for him. Anitha tells him that all kids are his brothers and sisters and so she is amma to all of them. She bribes that they can go out now for shopping and icecream. The boy is happy. (Wow, Anitha!! what a change from a disobedient, selfish sister, wife and dr-in-law).
At the shop, someone calls the name Arjun and Anitha is disturbed a little, thinking of her own hubby. 😭
ACD fans: Gear up.
Police jeep on the road. Charu is sitting on a couch and Prandhu, sorry, Priya is around. (Giri, I couldn't resist)
In comes our ACD in full uniform. (He doesn't remove his shoes outside).
Charu greets him and asks him what the matter is. Priya leaves. Not even glances exchanged between the couple. sigh.
ACD tells Charu that he has come for an enquiry and charu gets all worked up and gives indirect answers. Charu tells him that he knows who her daughter is, he has put her passport on hold, thus affecting her business but he wants info from her. ACD is surprised at her frustration and self pity. Charu says she treated him as a friend but he is hard hearted. ACd says the usual dialogue that he is only doing his duty. Charu replies back that he is good with words and uses duty as an excuse to offend people. Inspite of knowing all about her, he is suspecting her in a murder case. ACD says they suspect so many people in a murder case and elimiate one by one as the investigation progresses. ACD enquires about Sivaraman and Charu replies that she knows this much that he is dead.
ACD says, "kovathule kooda nalla joke panreenga, maam."Then he asks about SR's link to Joe and Charu replies that she knows nothing about his contacts. She always does things in the right and honest way and never had or has any contacts with people who do not abide by the law. She also reminds him how she fired SR once she knew about him. ACD tells Charu, "Control madam. Be cool naan appuram varen." Without even trying to look for Priya, he leaves.
(Sorry guys, no romance). chappu nu mudinjiruchi. 😡
Scene: Abi in her house walking in the garden.
A police car comes and ACD Shankar comes with 2 men and instructs them to watch Abi's house and arrest Arjun if he comes there. Abi comes out and thanks Shankar. Shankar asks her how SKPD is. She says,"nalla irukkaar."
Shankar tells her that it cannot be for long coz police are suspecting him of illegal activities and soon may arrest him. He adds that he is a periya manushan and doing nalla kaariyam. He tells Abi to ask SKPD to be careful.
RK uncle's house. Mama and Karthik on the dining table.
Shanthi: mama, innoru dosai?
Rk walks away and in comes Anitha and serves a dosa to Karthik.
RK mama aska Anitha,"What is your problem?"
Anitha: Don't you know what my problem is, appa? My husband is hiding and I don't know if he is safe but here we are eating and sleeping with no akkarai for him.
RK gets angry: Already your hubby has created probs for us coz he went in hiding. Do you want us to starve for his sake?
Shocking music. Shanthi with raised eyebrows and Karthik with a nonexpressive look and Anitha with an offended look. (dhrogi.....)
RK adds more fuel,"enna prachnai nu kettadhu arjun pathi ille. Why did you borrow 50k from Shanthi?
Again shocking music, Shanthi is betrayed. Anitha with a sutterikkum paarvai at shanthi.. Shanthi is very embarrassed.
Anitha replies: I have a valid reason for my need. You don't have to ask me. She walks away with great anger.
Shanthi to RK: (ivlo dhairiyam epdima vandhuchi?): mama, ayyo, enna prachnai nu pakkuvamaa kekka sonnaa, you questioned her like a criminal.
RK has had it. He yells: ellaarum ishtaththukku aadreenga. epdiyo ponga.
Karthik: Shanthi, what you did is very wrong. Why did you lend the money to Anitha in the first place and why did you tell appa about it? Already he has 1008 (what a number) problems and you are adding to it.
Shanthi: ayyo, apdi illainga. If mama asks she may discuss about her probs nu thaan sonnen.
Karthik is all defensive about his sister. My sister is not a spendthrift. She must have had a valid reason for spending that money. netrik kan thirappinum kutram kutrame. nee thappu pannitte, shanthi.
Shanthi with an almost azhuvaachi face. Freeze.
(How come Shanthi decided to take Anitha matter to RK mama? Usually she solves everything secretly or with Arjun's help. CR, ennaachunga?)
