Kanchana in her mottai maadi lamenting about anu-mano wedding to useless Eash and veeramillaa Arjun....while these men ask her to go to the hospital to see their kula kozhundhu and DIL. Kanchana refuses and says Usha was responsible for Anu's decision and acts and so refuses to come. Lot of melodrama, according to him but the gist was as above.
Scene shifts to hospital:
Usha is being brought in to her room and Moms and Pops are hovering nearby. Usha wakes up and Mom tells her that she has a junior Adhi. (Usha inwardly shudders, we do as well) Mom then talks about Adhi's refusal to come here and she thought all was well within the Adhi household. Dad dear also wonders aloud what went wrong..they thought that Usha and Adhi have reconciled after a tumultous start and now this tsunami in their life? Usha tells them that all was well until this Anu-mano wedding. She tells them that they had brought up Anu like one of their own and look what she has done to repay them. And Adhi mistakenly thinks Usha was instrumental in their wedding. Mom cries and dad feels sad. Usha says she can't blame Adhi too because the circumstantial evidences point to her as the prime suspect in this crime. (justifiably accused) but she says she feels no joy in giving birth to a boy at this juncture, with this pazhi hanging around her head (I think the real sad thing is the thaali hanging around her neck rather)
Thols and Shanthi enter and Shanthi gets due credit for doing something other than preparing coffee..It is high time she was recognized for her other efforts...glad that TC realized this...Mom tells Shanthi was the one who admitted Usha, Usha turns a grateful look towards Shanthi (more like -ada, ivaLukku coffee Poduvadhai thavira idhu kooda theriyuma look), Thols looks on proudly (see, I have made Shanthi do something else - am sure it was aimed at us groupies) and Shanthi is overcome with emotion...(now she is the one grateful to the director for changing her career) Abhi is seen entering, wearing a proud look ...(what is with these proud looks, I wonder...will it be a peacock next, sauntering into the hospital room?) Usha takes one look and averts her face...(chee, iva edhukku inga vandhaa, dhrOgi- look). Mom welcomes Abhi and Abhi in her breathless voice, says congrats Usha, you have a boy (boy! how did she figure that one out? i wonder) Usha bids her mom to send avanga out..avangaLai pOga sollu....and Abhi is crestfallen..(poovOda sErndha naarum maNam perum - adhu pOla, aadhiyOdu irundhu Ushavum abhiyai verukkiraaL...en ninaithaaL abinaya) Usha insists that Abhi leaves the room and Mom and dad try to say something but Abhi stops them and leaves the room in tears. Silently, her followers leave the room too, in succession..(Atha anandi vaLarthaa, arthi vaLartha, mano vaLartha, aanaa naai vaLarkkalai, Thols- snEham vaLarthaa..so he follows his mentor). Thols evvazhiyO, avvazhi Shanthi...no thani vazhi for her...probably she smelt coffee on the way to the room and want to find the source..and was waiting to get out of the room. it was funny seeing both traipse out of the room...like the followers of Pied piper.
Adhi is at the minister's house...(ivanukku chinna veedu, maamanaarOda varadhu...buy one keep, get dad free maadhiri) and Arjun beseeches Adhi to come see the kudumba viLakku Usha and kudumba vaarisu, baby. Adhi screeches at Arjun to get out and he will not forget Usha's role in Anu's wedding and how she is a traitor...blah, blah, blah...Arjun tells him that Usha is not such a person and it must have been the work of someone else to implicate Usha in this matter..Rekha, observing this from the sidelines with dad dearest, shoots a worried glance at papa..Papa interferes and tells Arjun that Adhi can decide for himself but Arjun goes near him and tells him off. He tells him that as said once before, this is their family matter and he will thank the minister and his daughter to stay out of it and who are they to interfere...this is between him and his brother. Minister tells Arjun the matter may be theirs but now they are discussing this on his property. Adhi comes to strike Arjun with a snarl and minister stops him...and Arjun says, ok, you cannot stop me from going to the hospital. you will one day realize Usha is not to blame..and walks off. Minister points to Adhi how Arjun blames him and asks maapLai to go rest inside.
Adhi's snoop in Abhi's office comes there and informs Adhi that the labor problem has now been resolved, thanks to Basker and Adhi is further upset by this news. By the time this serial and Selvi is done, he is sure to lose his vocal chords...by all the shouting he does...
At Abhi's house, Abhi tells all about Usha getting a baby boy and sadly relates that she had been booted out of the room by Usha. KKK is surprised that namma ushavaa appadi paNNaa? and then abhi tells her that Usha thinks Abhi knew about Mano-anu love affair and had arranged their wedding. and she says, it looks so for anyone observing it but Usha should know better. Abhi tells her even her words did not hurt her as much as her look...oru veruppu therinjadhu adhula...Usha in all her time with Abhi has never shot such a look at anyone..and Abhi is greatly perturbed by that look.
Mano and Anu are listening from their room and start walking towards the hall. Abhi says one day she will realize that I had nothing to do with anu-mano elopement.
back at the hospital:
Abhi's crowd comes to see Usha...and she is happy..(sorry missed this..so this is what my son told)
Mom then asks Usha how can she behave like this to Abhi who gave her life...Usha tells them that Abhi was the one who had arranged anu-mano wedding and she knew about it from the beginning and because of her, now she has lost Adhi..and also, no husband, no in-laws, no joy in baby dialog.
Just then Dad spots Paatti entering the room, welcomes her and she is followed by Arjun and deadbeat Dad. They offer words of encouragement and Paatti says Adhi is mistaken and they all know about Usha and believe in her innocence in anu matter and Adhi will realize this one day too. Easy Eashwar offers stupid words as to how they love Usha, she is the apple of their eye and all will be well if she comes home after 10 days..(why 10 days only at mom's place? )
and yes, she is going to be welcomed home..and Arjun asks Usha aNNi to vittu thaLLufy others; they will come around; Paatti says she wants to go see her koLLu pEran, to be the first in their family to see the baby and starts off: Usha asks them to stop and says none of them should see the baby now and Eashwaran asks why and all are stunned..
