Sokkalingam Divagar's parents Appathaa Divagar   ; ; Thangamani




In a village a SUV is sliding on the reasonably good tar road. Divagar is driving the car and his parents are seated behind. The father tells that may be God will show a good girl soon for his son after they do pooja in that village temple. Car stops in a dead end…near a river. Divagar tells," the road ends here and we have to use a parisal ( round boat) to reach poonjolai village" He rings a bell and a parisal man comes there. He takes them to poonjolai. He tells them that the whole village is waiting for a bridge to be built by the government. If they don't use that river they have to travel 30 KM round about road to reach Poonjolai. The dad tells him not to worry and they will get their bridge soon. He also tells him that his son is working in the same department where the villagers sent in their application for the bridge.
He asks the parisal man whether he belongs to that place. That man replies that," he is an outsider and he came to this village before three years and started this Parisal work.He also tell them how to reach Sivan temple.
They reach the village and the Sivan Temple, many periya manushanga are waiting with garland to welcome them. One Narasimman comes forward and introduces himself as the head of Panchayath. He introduces other people. He Tells Divagar and tells," thambi all those hundreds of letters sent about the bridge are sent by us only….since you have come here to visit our temple…we take this as a good sign and we do hope that we will get the bridge soon" Divagar's mom tells that they want to do some parigaram in Sivan Temple in Poonjolai since Divagar has some dosham in his horoscope which is an obstacle in his marriage matter. By the time they reach the temple and Sambu Iyer is introduced to them. Divagar's mom tells Iyer about the dosham.
Poonjolai Miraasudar is Sokkalingam. A husband and wife are waiting for Sokkalingam in his bunglow. He comes out with a Seer Thaambaala Thattu and gives to that man and tells," I am very happy that you are giving your daughter to your sister's son" He invites the whole family to attend the wedding and they leave. Sokkalingam's mom ( vadicukku arasi) comes there and asks," enda Sokka when are you going to make your sister as ytour sambandi?" Sokka replies," Enna appatha …When Meena was born I told every one that she is not only my daughter but also the daughter in law of my only sister Thangamani….so when times some everything will happen"
He asks," Where is Meena?" Appatha says." She went to the temple.





Divagar and the gang are in the temple doing pooja and they hear some female voice singing. They walk to the direction of the voice and there they see a young girl is singing some suloham.Divagar just stares at her and he takes some photos of her using his cell phone.His parents watch him doing this. They seem to be happy. After her pooja she leaves from there.By this time the other men come there. Divagar's dad asks one of them about the girl. He informs them that she is Meena and she is the daughter of their Mirasudaar Sokkalingam. Divagar's dad tells them that he wishes to meet him.
In Sokka's house he tells him mom that he misses his sister and he wants to visit her. He tells very proudly that there can not be any other sister and brother like them…so loving to each other. As he was telling this his sister Thangamani comes there telling," Anna…where are you going? Wait I have brought for you some paal paniyaaram" Sokka is happy to see her and he asks his mom," paarthiyaa amma…I told you right?" He opens the container and starts eating the food.




He asks Thangamani whether her son sent any letter to her. She says that she is waiting for his reply. Appatha says," when he is going to send you all reply? And when my grand daughter is going to marry him….kadavule…I have no hopes at all" Meena is watching all this from her room and she feels so happy and shy. Sokka tells," amma stop talking like this…what Thangamani can do about this. He fought with his dad and went away to Madras. But he keeps in touch with me and his mom…so let us wait"





As they are having this conversation the villagers comes there with Divagar and his parents. Sokka comes out and receives them. They introduce Divagar and his parents. Sokka asks them to come in. DIvagar's dad explains about their coming to the temple for dosham …pooja…meeting Meena….song…and finally they tell," we both like your daughter very much and we want to make her as our d in law. Meena from inside watching all this feels angry. Her face shows that she does not like this proposal.Sokka hesitates for a sec and then tells, " I am very sorry that I am not in a position to tell yes to this proposal right now" . The disappointed Divagar family gets up to say good bye. But Thangamani tells them politely," Please sit down " She turns to Sokka and asks him to come inside. Sokka follows her to the room. Thangamani says," enna anna…why did you answer like that? I understand very well that we are all waiting for Siva's reply in this matter. Anna we took this decision when Siva and Meena are babies. Now that Siva is grown up and we don't know what is his decision. Suppose he is going to tell a negative answer in this matter…then it will be big loss for us to lose this kind of proposal. So please go and tell them a positive answer" Sokka is shocked to hear this. Meena is still in her room hearing all this this she also fells unhappy. Thangamani continues," Anna when Meena lost her mom when she was 5 years old I took over her mother's place. So I am telling this with my whole heart…you please go out and tell a good answer" He comes out and Divagar's dad asks," What is your decision?" Sokka says," I am willing to your proposal" Meena is shocked………





Thodarum.......
