Viji is preoccupied - takes a file to the wrong person - what needs to go to
Mohan gets to Rathy. Rathy senses her restlessness and asks " what is bothering
you?" Viji says that her daughter Vasanthi can not beget children " avar romba
nalla mappillai , I did not accept him so long.. I have even ridiculed him many times
...and now this...both Vasanthi and Vaasu look so dejected knowing that there is
no more hope and I just can not bear to see them so lost !! " Rathy says that there
is a life beyond kids " what if she can not bear kids??/ There are so many alternatives, surrogacy, adoption..to name a few ( thank God Rathi is not talking about a 2nd
marriage and Roja hopes that KB will not fall prey to the usual Tamizh serials formula ) .
Ask her to think about all that and make the most of her life " Viji thanks Rathi and
looks more composed " being a nurse, I should have known but I could not think
of all this as this gets too personal. I will go and tell them all this today itself "
Viji with her daughter at home - Vasanthi is sitting in the dark , looks all in Viji starts
consoling " It is not such a big issue . When Sumathi died, you consoled me saying
that life should go on. Same thing applies to you too...thats why I wanted you to get
a check up. Now that this is the verdict, develop other interests and get on with life "
(awww, Rathy sOnna options pathi sOlli console pannuveenga nnu paartha ??!!) Vasanthi says that she and Vaasu can live with out a kid " but the report could have said that it is my lacuna and not his. The way he cringes with this fact makes me really sad " Viji stops Vasanthi " Mappillai is carrying the cross so that you won't feel bad. Actually it is your uterus which has a problem. He is fine. Evvalavu nalla manasu avarukku?? Ipdi Oru hubby kidaikka nee romba punniyam panniyirukke.." Vasanthi cries some more ( God, please don't
make her think about a second channel KB sir, pleaseee)
Surgery day for Murugan. Murugan's mother is worried that Rathi is the surgeon "vera
periya doctor ai vittu panna sOlla Koodatha??" Aarumugam says that so far things
have been happening well " She saw our appeal and decided to take Murugan under her wings...athu pOle surgery um nalla nadakkum " The father who normally prays in the
hospital comes, learns about the surgery...tells the parents that Rathi never fails in her surgeries, prays for Murugan and leaves. Naren comes and wishes Rathi all the best
but she gets on the impulsive mode - shouts at him saying that she will do well even
with out his best of luck " you were not keen about me doing this, right?? IppO enna, wishing??" Naren says that it was his opinion and now that she has taken a decision
wants to wish her ( Intha trait is kind of immature. In front Naren, she always jumps -
paise pEraatha issue kku kooda !!) Surgery starts...

Thanks for the booking, eclat!
Update for Tuesday, Apr 19, 2011: By Eljay
Surgery is going on - surgeon getting instruments, readings on some machine, light goes out! The three surgeons go to the next room and then one tells Rathy - Congrats! You did a great job! (And here my heart nearly stopped, thinking the patient had died or something!) They congratulate her, and then she is shown walking into Naren's room, he is not there, she goes somewhere else, her Periappa is there (and I am still wondering why she hasn't talked to Murugan's parents - does this practice not exist in India?). Periappa congratulates her, she is looking for someone, Periappa asks if she is looking for Naren, and says he has gone somewhere. She looks somewhat disappointed and leaves. She tells Ezhil she doesn't want to be disturbed and enters her room, to be greeted by a bouquet, held out by a pair of hands - Naren's, of course! She accepts them, then apologizes for her harsh behavior earlier, says he motivated her and thanks him. He tells her not to apologize, he acted like a husband should, and advised her.
Murugan's parents come there, want to see Rathy. Ezhil hesitates, then calls Rathy, who is curt but changes her mind when she finds out that Murugan's parents are there. They go in and Murugan's mom tells her about her fears and doubts whether Rathy could do the job, she apologizes for having had such doubts and offers her amman koil prasadam, and falls at her feet, while M's father tries to hustle her out so that Rathy can rest. Finally, she blesses Rathy saying she will get married soon. After they leave, Rathy and Naren exchange loving glances.
Ezhil eating with her dad, it seems her sister has joined a Home Science college in Coimbatore but hasn't called or spoken to Ezhil. Dad explains that she was angry over not getting a seat in Med. college, since she had told all her friends that she was going to join Med. College on the strength of her sister's assurances. Ezhil thinks of all the times Rathy has shouted at her, she remembers Rathy's brother saying she is much better at running the place than Rathy, and feels she has been stabbed in the back by Rathy, so she goes to work, writes out a resignation letter and leaves it on Rathy's desk in her room.
Late at night, Ezhil's dad is anxiously waiting for her, she comes home late and he wants to know why she is so late. She tells him she has taken revenge on Rathy by resigning and now Rathy will have a rude shock in the morning. She will no longer have Ezhil to do everything for her. Dad is disappointed and tells her to look at it impartially and see her decision was wrong, her sister had low marks, had she been in Rathy's position, what would she have done? He says he has worked for the Electricity Department for 30 years and till now, no one has accused him of any wrong doing. He says Ezhil has done the wrong thing, and it is better if she goes in the morning and takes back her resignation letter before Rathy goes to work. Ezhil is thinking ...
Thodarum ...
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.
Well, the much dreaded topic of second marriage - Roja just hopes that KB will pour ice cold water and make sure that no such nonsense happens . Roja cuts this segment because the mere mention of second marriage gives her the jitters. Vasanthi picks up a fight - absolutely unwarranted - Viji tries to pacify but vasanthi explodes finally - "marry again, get a few kids and be happy..."
