'Karthik' she says, turning towards him...
'hmmm...'
'eppadi..? nee paathiyaa? ' Angel
'yes... ippa vendaam.. We'll talk about it later... I'll call u later... un number kudu'
He then saves it as she says,,
Angel back to her room keeps thinking about her mother and what does Karthik have to talk about
Afternoon :
Raji is back home, feeling very tired.. But in spite of that., she comes straight to the kid and lifts her and kiss...
'chellam.. missed u sooo much daa'
Karthik was silently watching her.. At first, he was angry, but then he decided that it's not the time to show it...
Raji noticed him just then..
'hey Karthik.. nee office la iruppa nu la naan nenaichen.. enna? mattam pottiyaa?
Karthik kept quite..
'ennadaa kovamaa naan varala nu? ' she asks..
'kovam dhaan.. nee phone attend pannaadhadhukku', he replies back..
'adhaan vandhitten la'
By that time, the maid comes in with coffee for them,.
Raji takes one for herself and pass on the other to Karthik..,
'paavam maa thambi.. romba kashttam aayiduchu...', maid says,
'yen ennaachu? ' , Raji
'paappaa ku kaaichal.. udambukku mudiyala... neenga vera illayaa... '
'innaikku kaalaila kooda andha ponnu vandhu paathuttu pochu maa..'
'yaara solreenga ?' Raji questions..
Karthik, 'neenga ponga maa.. naan sollikkuren' and the maid moves..
'yaaru daa adhu.,? '
'annaikku kooda namma Sara kutty ya save panna poi.. adi pattuchu nu..' before he finishes..
'oh andha lady yaa.. ? so sweet... ippolaam yaaru appadi irukkaa..? sollu..'
'adhu vandhu Raji...' he drags to open up the topic...
'sorry Karthik.. romba tired ah irukku... konja neram thoongunaa nallaa irukkum.. We'll talk later..' she cuts him..
During the weekend, Karthik had called Angel to an open restaurant..
She came first and waited for him.. He comes along with his daughter..
After formally greet and smile., Angel asks 'enna Karthik..? pesanum nu sollittu kuzhandhaiyum koottittu vandhirukka..'
'wait.. wait... Raji is also gonna join with us..' he says..
As she gives a puzzled look, he says 'I felt it is better to talk with her presence'
'veetla irundhu dhaane varreenga... Raji enga office poyirukkaangalaa? '
'yes... but just sometime back, she got a call and went.. seekkiram vandhiduvaa...' , Karthik..
'hmm... good.. Seems like she is the main person in the team..' she asks..
He then shares their current position in the office..
Though they work for the same company, they do no go to the same office...
Karthik's workplace is Tidel Park in Taramani where Raji goes to OMR branch..
Though both joined the company at the same time., Raji got promoted as PM soon where as Karthik's promotion was stopped since he did not have good rapport with his manager..
To him, it is the internal politics played by higher officials..
'ok Karthik... Just calm down.. Ippo edhukku you are getting tensed... ?'
He then comes back to normal., and they order food..
While waiting for the food, the topic now changes to family..
'how is Aunty and Uncle Karthik? '... for which he kept mum..
hey ennaachu? contact la dhaane irukka?, she questions..
'hmmm contact la irukken dhaan.. but avanga innum enga marriage ah yethukkala.. correct ah sollanum naa Raji ya' he says in worry..
'Raji parents? '
'avangalum marriage appo othukkalai... but they were convinced when Sara was born and came to see her..' he replied.
'oh.. thats good'
As the food was served, Karthik feeds his daughter while Angel admires them..
'sari Karthik.. You still haven't opened the topic yet.. Why you called for'
'Raji yum vandhidattume... please..'
She noticed Sara looks at the kids playing over there..
'Karthik.. Sara konja neram anga kids section la vilayaadattum.. aasaiyaa irukku pola... Okay dhaane? ' she asks.
As he is fine with it, Angel takes the child and moves to that spot...
Karthik saw a couple approaching him and when they neared, he recognized the lady to be Sumathi.. with whom he was engaged with by their parents..
Sumathi introduces her husband Arun to Karthik and says that he is the one who helped her..
'thaniyaa vaa vandheenga ?' Sumathi enquires.
'no no.. I came with my daughter.' he points her who is with Angel who was speaking to the person who supervises the children playing..
Showing her, Arun and Karthik are busy talking about their career., Sumathi is into deep thoughts..
'appo Raji ya ivaru marriage pannikkalayaa? kettudalaamaa? illa vendaam.. apparam yedhaavadhu prechanai aayida pogudhu..'
They take leave. Karthik gets a message from Raji asking sorry for not able to be there...
Angel comes back and asks if he phoned his wife and is she on the way..
He then tells that Raji won't be coming now... Then Angel asks him to tell her what he knows about her mother..
'did u see her? ', Angel
He nods..
'pesuniyaa? '
'avanga dhaan pesunaanga..', he says..
His face turns dull and asks..'appo unakku...'
'ellaam theriyum.. Aunty sollittaanga..'
'yen Angel appadi panna? en kannu munnaadi varra maatten nu sollittu next day morning eh you left. Is it? '
'It's for you Karthik... you should be happy with your wife and kids.. adhaan '
'but adhukku.. why did you leave behind your mother.. ?', Karthik
'She wanted to be with the Church and it's her wish..' Angel..
'adhilla.. You didn't get to visit her when she was ill...', Karthik
She is now without words...
'naan Aunty ya oru hospital la dhaan paarthen... Then later when she was discharged., I went and visited her a few times.. In the home..'
'Karthik..'
'then recent ah dhaan I came to know that she passed away...'
'adhukkaavadhu vandhiyaa... illayaa..' he was angry at her...
She was in tears., 'yen Karthik kovappadura.. ? adheppadi varraama irundhiruppen..'
'pinna... nee ingirundhu ponadhu enakkaaga naa... Aunty yoda condition ku naanum oru reason maadhiri dhaane..' he talks out his guilt..
Both were silent for a few minutes...
'ok whatever.. nee ippo enakku oru promise panni kudukkanum..'
'what? ', Angel
'enna paakkura.. ? I know whats your next plan nu... marubadiyum enga kannla padaama irukka engayaavadhu oliya pora.. right? '
