CHAPTER 3
Priya's house…they have rented the first floor of a house that was recently built. Priya is arranging all her books in the bookshelves. Her anni comes from the kitchen, enna priya books ellam adukki vachuttiya. Intha oorukku vanthu oru masam aaguthu, unnoda saaman mattum petti pettiya irukku. Naan help panrennu sonna ketka mattenra. Sorry anni, puthusa join pannathala office la yum neraya velai, apram daily home poittu varathala time kedaikka mattengudu.
As she is arraning her books, priya asks " Apram unga velai eppadi irukku anni.?"
Romba nalla irukku, Chaaru madam is very efficient. We all have to thank Kadhir for giving us this persons introduction. Aamam anni, Kadhir romba romba nallavar, priya looks at her anni with a smile. Neenthan avara miss pannitta priya. Priya's smile vanishes and she sits down in the chair. Sorry priya, solli kaatanumnu sollala, unna parkave enakku kashtama irukku. Sari, Chennai vanthu oru masam aachu, Durai sir engayavadhu pathiya. "Mmm…paarthen" priya nods her head gently with tears in her eyes. Books vangittu veliyila vanthappa paarthen, avarthaan vanthu hello sonar. Appadiyethan irukkaar anni. Vera ethavathu pesiniya priya, kalyanam ayiduchannu…..
Priya got up from her chair, "Eppadi anni mudiyum? Padi yeri vanthu enna pidichirukkunnu sonnavara neenga vera oru ponna kalyanam pannikongannu sollittu ippo naan avar kitta enna pesa mudiyum. Appa avara eppadi avamanapaduthirukkar, apram eppadi anni?" upset she went back to arranging her books. Sorry Priya, I understand your situation, Anni leaves to her room.
Priya's memory rewinds to three years before. Durai had left her place leaving her cry. The next few days there was dead silence in the house. Nobody was talking to each other.
On Sunday morning priya's dad calls out to priya and her anni and asks them to start packing all their stuff since they were going to go and live in Coimbatore.
The family is in Coimbatore now. Priya dad gets a call from her Chennai house neighbour and she says that a person by name Shanthi came looking for them but as per his instructions she told them that she doesn't know where they have gone.
After a month of spending time in the house priya decides to get a job. She reflected back to the days when Durai had forced her to study for her MBA exams and not run behind him. Priya gives a smile thinking of Durais kadu kadu face. If it wasn't for his encouragement she wouldn't have finished her MBA. Priya gets a job in a marketing firm and is working very hard. One day Priya;s dad comes with a photo , shows it to her and anni and says "Ivar per Kadhir, nalaikku priyava ponnu parka varanga. Romba nalla kudumbam, vasathiyanavanga kooda, nalla manasu neraya dhana dharmam panraanga. Priya readya irumma. The day that Priya dreaded had finally come. Anni reassured her and said everything will be ok.
Friday evening, Priya;s house has some pleasant flute music. Anni is in the kitchen cooking. Priya is getting ready, her dad asks her to wear a pattu saree. She refuses and decides to wear a simple saree but she looks very elegant and beautiful. She seems to be restrained from the whole atomosphere. A Honda city pulls up in front of the house. Out comes Kadhir and his parents. Kadhir looks at the house with a smile and goes inside.
Kadhir is an ardent tamil fan and loves tamil poetry. He was a young, talented, smart and intelligent industrialist who loved his parents and sister. As priya's dad and kadhir's parents greet each other, Kadhir removes his shoes and when he looks up, his eyes fall on the bookshelf in the hall. Lined up in the bookshelf are kannadasan, bharathidasan, vairamuthu……poetry collection. Kadhir is impressed. Uncle neenga tamil kavithai padipeengala? Kadhir questions Priya;s dad. "Illa thambi, namakku athellam avlo interest illa…… Kadhir's dad interrupts, "Ivan ippadithan, enga ponaalaum ilakkanam ilakkiyam kavithainnu iruppan, dei vanthu ukkaruda, neenga priyava vara sollunga.
Kadhir longingly looks at the door which appears to be that of the kitchen's. Priya comes out with a tray full of coffee with a sullen look. Obviously kadhir is stunned….
To be contd.
