Karthi's Birthday
Karthi gets up early , dresses up and goes to the temple and waits for Raji leaning on his bike.
He checks his watch quite often. Tries to call Raji and founds it to be switched off. He seems disappointed first and got irritated later. When he was about to leave, a lady comes and calls him.
Lady : thambi... yaara thedittu irukka...? paappa appave vandhiduchu...
Karthi : yaara solreenga... ?
Lady : innaikku enna vishesham thambi ? paappaa seekirame vandhu special poojai ellaam pannuchu..
Karthi : (still confused but happy that Raji had already come there) innaikku en pirandhanaal..
Lady : appadiyaa... naan kooda unga kalyaana naal lo nu nenachen...
Karthi : illanga.. neenga vera yaaro nu nenachuttu pesureenganu nenakiren..
Lady : ennappaa nee.. adhellam naan correct ah nyabagam vachiruppen... naan inga dhaan pookadai vachirukken 10 varushamaa... Kaalailaye kadai thorandhuduven... naan dhaan paathene un samsaaratha... ippo dhaan saappittu varalaam nu ponen...
Karthi : illa..adhu vandhu...

Karthi : (remembers that on Jaya's birthday they both came to the same temple)
Lady : ennappa ippo nyabagam varudhaa... ? (she turns aside) paaruppaa.. ammani ye vandhuttaanga.. (points someone coming outside of the temple)
Karthi : (turns and sees Jaya coming there)
(the lady moves on with her work now)
He is lost and goes back to the past and remembers that day. The saree that she is wearing now is the one Karthi selected for her on her birthday.
Jaya : Karthi... enna yosanai la irukka...
Karthi : haan... onnum illa...
Jaya : (gives her hand) Happy Birthday da...
Karthi : thanks Jaya.
Jaya : indhaa prasaadham eduthukko...
Karthi : (tooks vibhudhi from her hand and applies on his head). sari naan kelamburen...
Jaya : kovilukku ulla pogala ?
Karthi : illa.. time aayiduchu... marubadiyum thanks Jaya...
When he was about to leave, that lady calls him again and says..
Lady : varum bodhu dhaan thani thaniyaa vandheenga.. ippovaadhu onnaa pogalaamla... naan kan kulira paathuppen..
Karthi : (thinks for a while) hmmm... vaa Jaya bike la yeru... unna drop pannittu poren... unakku shift 2 o clock dhaane.. ?
Jaya : illa Karthi... andha work mudinjiduchu... inimel normal shift dhaan... aanaa nee kelambu.. unakku yerkanave time aachunu sonna...
Karthi : office kku dhaan...
Jaya : illa karthi.. naan veettukku poittu... dress change pannittu varuven...
Karthi : yen ? indha dress ku enna ?
Jaya : illa... salwar maathikkalaam nu...
Karthi : venaa.. Jaya... saree dhaan unakku nallaa irukku... adhum indha green color... super... modhalla.. pinnaadi yeri ukkaaru...
Jaya sits at the back seat and waves the lady, who is taking dhirustti.
Karthi forgets his anger and what for he came there... as they were riding to office.
Later in the conference room,
cake cutting event is arranged for Karthi. Susan & team is present there except Raji.
Karthi cuts the cake and gives to everyone. Vishnu applies cake on his face and have fun.
Karthi enters Susan's room. She slowly starts talking about her past and how she started liking Karthik and finally says that she loves Karthik.
Karthik stops her and immediately says that he has only respect on her and can't imagine anything more than that. He also says that his heart belongs to another girl now. He says sorry for hurting her and leaves.
Susan upset and thinks about her meeting with HR last week.
HR : Susan.. ungalukke theriyum.. indha client evlo important nu... they want experienced person like you at their place next month.
Susan : theriyum David.. But indha dhadava enakku poga viruppam illa.
HR : nallaa yosichu apparamaa sollunga..
Susan : illa Sir.. en personal life la idhu mukkiyamaana time.. oru major decision edukka vendi irukku... so kandippa mudiyaadhu.
Comes back to present. mindvoice ... unakkaga naan onsite offer ah vera vendaamnu sollitten... enna ippadi disappoint pannittiye karthi.
Later in the evening ;
Karthi checks with Lakshmi and Vishnu if there is any news on Raji.
Karthi : Raji yen ippadi panraa... oru phone koodavaa panna mudiyaadhu.. ? atleast oru SMS ?
Laksh : ava panradhu irukkattum... nee panradhu sariyaa ?
Karthi : naan ennanga pannen... ?
Laksh : enakku onnum theriyaadhu nu nenakaadha.. unakku dhaan Raji illanaa substitute irukke.. apparam yen varuthapadura... ? naan paatheen.. innaikku Jodi ya bike la vandhadha...
Karthi : (silent)
Laksh : illa nu sollu paapom..
Karthi : adhu vera lakshmi...
Lakshmi leaves. Vishnu keeps quite as he feels that Karthi is disturbed now.
At the end of day, when they are starting home :
Karthi : Raji inimel varuvaa enakku thonala da..
Vish : adha vidu daa.. nee Jaya va enga, eppadi paathenu solludaa..
Karthi : (kaduppu) ippo adhu rumba mukkiyamaa ?
Vish : aamaa da...
Karthi : Raji kkaaga... kovil la wait pannittu irundhen. aanaa Jaya adhukku munnadiye vandhu edho poojai laam pannaalaam...
