Well.. nothing interesting happened. Abhirami is still very worried about KVkaran. He thinks he can milk some money out of Abhirami's fear.
Abhirami goes to office - incidentally she is wearing this beautiful green saree with red border that has elephants on it. She looks very very beautiful. Shyam brings her an invoice to sign and she signs in the wrong place. Shyam says to her that she must be sick so she should go home and rest. Abhirami says that whether in home or office her mind was not peaceful. She confides in him that KVkaran photo episode is bothering her. Shyam tells her that they must be very careful of Srinivasan.
She arranges to meet Srinivasan at the club coffee room. Srinivasan comes over and comments on her appearance - that she was looking very upset. He says that he thinks she should not worry about the divorce as she didnt' want to live with Madan anyway. And the presidency thing for Chamber was no big deal. There was an election every year. And moreover, it was not as if it was a big and prestigious office. He then says that he was planning to build a factory and was a bit short of cash. And he says who else could he approach when he had his sambandi.
She is very irritated with him, but says in a very sweet voice, Inda Abhirami sonna senja madiri. She says she will come to him with the papers, that woudl be the proper respectful way to give him his dues.
They show Karthik and Indu in the icecream parlour. They are having the usual konjing session of how they love each other and how they wish amma (shanti) could join them. Incidentally - appears as if Karthik is just sitting at home doing nothing.. no job no nothing.. how on earth is he going to avenge Abirami this way??
Anyway, Deepa comes over (she also seems to be visiting the ice cream parlour too often, amazing that inspite of these visits she is slim and pretty). Indu tells Karthik, whydont' you buy amma's share of icecream for Deepa. Deepa says in a poignant way - i have given up your amma's share long ago. (sigh!)
She talks to Karthik and sympathises with him that Shanti was staying separately. She promises to visit Shanti and speak with her. Next scene she is already in Shanti's place. She tells Shanthi that she sacrificed Karthik only because she wanted Shanti and Karthik to live together and her sacrifice was wasted just because Shanti was not willing to forgive Karthik.
I was kind of hoping Shanthi will let Deepa in on the secret that she had forgiven karthik etc etc but she didnt'. She says that Deepa is like a tangachi to her and that can they discuss this issue later as she is not able to talk about it now.
Abhirami is sitting in a rocking chair in a really amazing pink saree with a really lovely woven yellow pallu. Man, where does this woman buy her sarees... !!
Shyam comes in and she hands over a document to him. He is stunned and pleased to see that the document is actually a pattram that has written sottu in his name. She says that she is going to give Srini his due too as her life was already gone and wasted and that Shyam should not follow her and waste his life. That Shyam should settle down with a wife and family and live happily.
She says, that her aim is to find RK and see him suffer (going a bit too far, I think, she wants to see Madan suffer, Shanthi suffer, Rohini suffer and RK suffer- lord, whats with her - chronic avenging syndrome... why can't she take the money and be happy??).
Anyway, when Shyam expresses surprise on her statement that she was giving Srini his due, she whisperes somethign to him... and they both shake hands.
end of episode!! Until Monday then!!
