Outside the ICU - Murugan's parents are fighting with the ward boy - " my son...
yuirukku pOradaraan, nanga paarthe aaganum..." Ward boy wards them off
and Rathi lands there. The parents rave and rant - " enna aachu??? Moolai pisagi
pOchaa??? Tell us the truth..blah blah..." Rathy asks them to chill and goes inside the
ICU -Murugan looks fine ...except that he can not talk - voice box gaali. Naren is also
there - he asks Rathi?? Who inserted the ventilator tube? Rathi says that she only did
that. Naren says " athu thaan reason. The tube jammed the voice box ." There is another
doctor who says that Murugan will get back his voice "just a question of 2 or 3 days" .
Rathi goes to Murugan, reassures that he will talk soon...tells Naren that she plans to
inform the parents. naren tries to dissuade her but Rathi stands her ground. So, Naren
goes along with Rathi to face the parents. Rathi tells them that Murugan lost his voice -
" but he will get it back ...can not give you a time frame but it will happen, ok?" The parents
are devastated .
Rathi goes to her dad's snap. Talks to him - tells him that she forgot to take his blessings -
" I was so tensed that I forgot this ritual..." Quotes Mundasu poet's song and says that she
is a living example for that song. Tells her father that she plans to own her mistake to the parents. Board meeting - Ezhil is taking notes. Every one pounces on Rathi for her decision
to publicize her mistake. Aakash says that he is trying to cajole Murugan's parents and hush
the whole thing - " and you...you want to announce to the whole world and bring down the
reputation of the hospital?? Go ahead and announce, I am not game" Aanand for his part says that rathi needs psychiatric help " antha reporter sathya oruthan pOrum , nambalai kizhichi thOranam kattiduvaan " Aakash storms out...Ezhil has a sly smile... Mohan Bharathy advises Rathy that it is not wise to always do what the heart says " we need to use our brain and tackle situations like this. Leave this issue to Aakash. And you concentrate on getting Murugan's voice back, ok?"
Aakash calls Murugan's parents - cajoles them, politely warns them that the hospital already has a disclaimer and finally tells them that they need to keep Murugan here itself - "we shall see to it that he gets his voice back " Gives them 50,000 rs and asks them to keep the matter under wraps. Aarumugam tries t return the money but his wife grabs it and walks out.
