Chapter 12
Uma was in Mumbai now , she has been there for close to 2 month now. Priya was continuing her work when her assignment was transferred to Chennai. She was not sure if her dad would agree to go back. Priya's dad after his heart attack had mellowed down a lot. He often thought about Durai and how he insulted him and he felt bad about it. Priya came to her father and notified him about the transfer, she slowly looked at him and said,appa namma Chennai polam pa, please! What could he say, he had done nothing for his daughter or daughter in law these 2 years they have lived in Coimbatore. He did not have friends here to share his feelings. But he wanted to make up for his mistakes, polammma, aana anniya oru vaarthai kettukko. Athoda kathir kittayum itha pathi pesanum, pavamma antha thambi.
Priya had spoken to anni over the phone about moving to Chennai.Uma was happy though the thought of Kadhir broke her heart. Priya was making all arrangements for the move one more time. She had already spoken to the owner of the house they had rented before and fixed the place. Once anni comes back, they had to pack some more stuff and leave. Anni was going to come in about a weeks time, one evening Priya and her dad had a visitor. It was Kadhir, he had spoken to Priya about their move. When priya told him the news, the only thing he asked was "Uma ithukku sammathichitangala". When priya nodded her heard in affirmative, Kadhir was filled with grief. Today he was visiting them for a send off. Vaanga thambi..ukkarunga, Priya's dad greeted. Enakku solrathunnu theriyala, neenga enga veetu maapillaya varathukku naanga koduthu vaikala, Uma manasu maaridumnu thaan nenachom, yeno theriyala…thambi, neenga unga vaazhkaya keduthukka koodathu, nalla ponna paarthu kalyama panni santhoshama irukkanum. Naanga ingendhu poradhukooda ungalukku oru vagayila nallathuthaan. Kadhir bit his lips and closed his eyes. He still was determined to get Uma in his life…Uncle, enakku kalyanamnu onnu nadantha athu Umavoda mattumthaan, neenga Chennai porathunala enakulla oru matramum yerpadathu. He gave a cover to Priya, ithula oru recommendation letter irukku, CHarulathanravanga L&P enterprises oda MD. Neraya business panranga including software exports. Romba nallavanga, suyama uzhachu vanthavanga, Enna pathi avangalukku nalla theriyum, Umavoda qualifications, capacity pathi naan avanga kitta pesitten. Uma poi ivangala paartha, nichiyama avanga career developmentku help pannuvanga.
Priya and her dad were puzzled, "Kathir, anni itha ethupaangannu nenakareegala, avanga kovan ungalukku theriyatha, neenga avangala pathi ovlo yosikkareenga, neenga venamnu thooki erinjitytu poitanga". Priya, itha ennoda kadamaya nenakaren, oru kathalan/kanavana illatiyum manushana itha naan seyyanumnu nenakaren. Avanga talents waste aaga koodathu, avanga munneranumnu naan nenakrathula enna thappu irukku. Ithukku mela, avanga intha recommendation accept panrathum deny panrathum avanga ishtam. Sari uncle naan kelambaren, Naan konja naal business vishayama Singapore poren. Vanthu ungalukku phone panren. Kadhir took his blessings and priya followed him to the gate. Varen Priya, Umava kettatha sollu. Chennai ponathukapram Durai vishayama enna help venumnalum sollu, naan panren. Sari anna,,,,Priya held Kadhirs hands, Kadhir reassuringly pressed her hand and started his car.
Uma came back to Coimbatore, Deepak her brother had helped her a lot during these two months. He made her see Kadhir's responsible side and how much he would love her if he had gone to the extent of helping in her career. Uma was a happy woman now, she had never felt so silly and light from her childhood. The only thing that saddened her now was that they were moving back to Chennai, but she didn't mind because she badly wanted Durai and Priya to get back together. She would threaten her Father in law, ..Only if you accept Durai and Priya, I will marry Kadhir. She was very optimistic about her fatherin laws agreement. She was longing to see kadhir, Her thoughts went back to their last meet….gosh he cried, he cried for me…How am I ever going to make up for all that, she held her handbag close to her chest……and tears were flowing down her cheeks. As she came out of the Coimbatore airport, she saw priya waiting for her. They hugged each other and after collecting the baggage drove back home in a call taxi. Mama, nalla irukeengala, she ran into the house to get his blessings. Priya's dad was happy to see smiles and a radiance in her face…something he though she would never get back in her life. Naan nalla irukenma, poi kullichittu va,……ellarum innaikku onna ukkandhu saapidalam.
After finishing their lunch Priya and Uma came to the terrace…….Innum rendu naal thaan anni, apram namma chennaike podalam. Uma smiled at Priya and slowly said….Priya innaikku evening naan Kathira poi parkalamnu irukken. I was so cruel to him, these two months gave me the opportunity to reflect on our relationship. I realize now how much I love him..but he does not just love me, but cares for me and respects me. How selfish I was not to acknowledge that, Priya I want to see him, see him today itself…..Uma was crying her heart out. Priya stood there stunned but happy and sad…she didn't know how to react..Oru nimisham anni, she ran down to get the envelope kadhir had given her. She handed it to Uma, anni….Kadhir ippo indiala illa. Uma was shocked …with teary eyes….enna priya solra? Aamam anni avar oru varam munnave ….singapore poittar. Intha lettera unga kitta kodukka sonnar and priya also gave a gist of what Kadhir told about L&P enterprises. Uma read the letter and she was motionless. Yet another time, Kadhir had proven his extreme love for her. Now she did not cry, she would wait, wait for Kadhir to come back from his trip and then she is all his. She smiled at Priya and went down to pack her things. She was determined now, she was going to get herself a job first and wait for Kathir's return.
Chennai….
Durai….getting ready to go the commissioners office. His thoughts about Priya was still tingling his heart though his brain kept warning,,,,,you cant think about a married woman who is a mother now.
Uma, lead graphics desaigner….getting ready to go to L&P software company. Her thoughts were filled with Kathir, his smile, his tears…..and also anxiety. He still hasn't heard about when he was going to come back. She wanted to surprise him with the best gift she could give him, Herself.
Singapre…
Kathir…getting ready to go to the airport.He was going back to Chennai..He was tempted into dropping by Uma's house…he hadn't seen her in 3 months now. But he didn't want to upset her and make her angry….but just seeing her from a distance would relieve him. He decided to land in Chennai and call Priya.
There was Priya…..getting ready to work. She seemed visbly upset. Her colleague's husband was working for L&P…the newest company in town. There was rumour in the company that MD Charu's daughter Abirami was going to be engaged to the most popular and smartest deputy commissioner in town, Durai!
