It is Thursday early morning. Sudha and Poorna got up early morning, had shower as Azhagu instructed them the previous evening. Azhagu was in the kitchen, all ready.  "Vaa Sudha, Poorna enga?" "Vanthuttu iruppanu ninakiren ma, ava room-la light erinjuthu" Poorna also came. "Vaa Poorna, sari kidu kidunnu velaiya paaka arambikkalam" "Enna ellam seiyyanum ma?" asked Sudha.

They distributed the chores among them and started the cooking. Pazhanisamy got ready and came to kitchen and asked Azhagu "Azhagu, enakku yethavathu velai kudu, naanum help panr...

Magesh gave lift to Ravi to home. Ravi said "Magesh, yethavathu oru cafe-la vidu da, poi oru nalla coffee, tea yedhavathu kudichutu evening snacks saptutu veetuku pogalam."  Magesh said "Hey, veetuku pona anni, amma-ve yedhavathu supera snacks senju vachirupeenga, veetuku poi saptukalame." "Pcch...solren illa, nee velila irunthu vanthathala veetula sapidanunu thonuthu, enakku veetula saptu saptu bore adikuthu, unkooda pesi vera romba naal aachu"  "Athukilla Ravi, veetula ellarum namakkaga wait pannitu iruppanga, athaan...." Magesh was hesitating. "Ok da, unakku enkooda time spend panna viruppam illana veetuke pogalam" said Ravi in a sad voice. "Apdi ellam illa Ravi, sari vaa, naama coffee saptute pogalam" Magesh rode his bike to a cafe. They ordered coffee and some snacks like bonda, vadai with chutney. Ravi started "Apram sollu da, work ellam epdi poitrukku? Project pathi sollu" ...

Magesh and Poorna spent their whole night talking with each other about Magesh's stay with tribes, gangana kayiru poojai, some silly things. It became dawn, they fell asleep. Sudha made Idly, kuzhi paniyaram with idly batter, Pongal with chutney and sambar. Azhagu asked "Enna ma, innaiku tiffin-laye neraiya variety pannirukka pola irukke?" "Amam ma, Magesh naalanju naala sariya saptrunthuka maataru. Athaan konjam varietya panninen" "Paravalla ma, unakku avanga mela irukkira paasam avangalukku unmela iruntha nalla irukkum" "Yen ma, atheppudi illama irukkum?" Sudha asked with a smile.

Morning Magesh and his colleagues started to descend from the tribe village to Kodaikanal. They reached the Kodaikanal around 3 O' clock in the evening after a difficult walk with scratches from some plants and and some slips and muscle sprains. They called their Chennai branch, explained the situation. Chennai branch were relieved that they were safe after all and ready to do everything to get them back to Chennai. So they booked the flight tickets for Magesh and his two colleagues to get back to Chennai. The flight was around 5.30pm and will reach Chennai at 7pm. Magesh called Poorna from the landline as his mobile doesn't have any charge and he doesn't have any charger to charge. Poorna didn't attend the call. He called Pazhanisamy and informed about his arrival. Pazhanisamy called Poorna to inform and she didn't attend his call either. Pazhanisamy didn't think much about it and shrugged it off thinking that she must be busy in some house chores. Magesh was...

Some men, women and children along with Magesh and his colleagues all gathered in the big Murugan hut. Driver and one of the tribe men have gone to Moyar point to convey the news that Magesh and his colleagues are safe to his families. They took the Chennai branch office number. Thalaivar asked "Keezha poi paathavanga sollunga. Entha alavuku man sarivu irukku?" "Namakku valathu pakkam road-u fulla udanju vazhiye illainga ayya, idathu pakkam Kodaikku pora road udaiyala, aana vazhi maranju pochungayya". "Apdina poombaaraiku road vazhiya suthama poga mudiyathunu solreenga?" "Amangayya, athulayum intha arasangam avlo seekirathula sari pannuvangannu thonalangayya" Magesh asked "Ayya, apdina naanga Poombaraikku innaiku poga mudiyathunu solrengala?" "Innaiku mattum illainga thambi, innum oru vaarathuku kuranjuthu poga mudiyathu" Magesh and his colleagues got worried.  Magesh asked again "Ayya, pesam...

காலை மணி 6 இருக்கும். லேசாக வெளிச்சம் வரத் தொடங்கி இருந்தாலும், மழையினால் கொஞ்சம் மேக மூட்டமே அதிகமாக இருந்தது. மகேஷினால் சரியாக தூங்க முடியவில்லை. இரவு முழுவதும் புரண்டு புரண்டு படுத்து பார்த்தான். கட்டிலின் மெத்தையில் உறங்கியவனுக்கு, கட்டாந்தரையில் உறக்கம் வரவில்லையா? இல்லை வேறு ஏதும் நினைவா? இருக்கலாம். உறங்க முடியாதவனின் நினைவுகள் தன் இளம் மனைவி பூர்ணாவையே சுற்றி வந்தது. கடந்த சில நாட்களாக தினமும் அவளுடன் பேசி பழகி வந்த அவனுக்கு, நேற்றைய இரவு அவளுடன் பேச முடியாதது வருத்தமாகத்தான் இருந்தது. ஆனால் அவள் தன்னை பற்றி நினைத்து பார்த்திருப்பாளா? மகேஷ் கடந்த சில மாதங்களை அசை போட ஆரம்பித்தான். எப்படி எல்லாம் இருந்த தான் எப்படி எல்லாம் மாறிவிட்டோம் என்று யோசிக்க ஆரம்பித்தான். பல இன்னல்களுக்கும், துரோகங்களுக்கும் இடையில் நடந்த திருமணம் என்பதால் மகேஷ் ஒரு கணவனுக்கு உரித்தான எதிர்பார்ப்புகளும், ஆசைகளும் இல்லாமல், அதே சமயம் பூர்ணாவுக்கு ஒரு நல்ல நண்பனாக, ஒரு வழிகாட்டியாக அவளது அடுத்த அடியை (அது அவள் தன்னை பிரிந்து செல்வதாக இருந்தால் கூட) எடுத்து வைக்க எல்லா வகையிலும் உறுதுணையாகவே இருக்க வி...

Poorna was wondering why Magesh is not reachable and couldn't sleep for the whole night. "Enna aachu ivarukku? Enmela yedhavathu kochittu mobile-a switch off pannitara? Illaiye, ipdi silly matter-ku ellam enkitta kochikka maatare. Oru velai work adhigamo, tired-a thoongi irupparo. But mobile-a switch off panniruka matare. Hmm...may be charge theenthu poirukkum, tiredness-la charge panna maranthu apdiye thoongi irupparu. Naalaiku kalaila kandippa charge panniduvaru." She tried to sleep with this conclusion. But then she woke up and wondered "Vera yedhavathu aagi iruntha enna panrathu?". Poorna started to sweat. She has been so involved with Magesh for last few weeks, she totally forgot how life would be if she was alone. "Cha ithenna loosu thanamana oru bayam, oru naal reach panna mudiyalanna kandathaiyum pottu yosikartha? Magesh onnum careless-ana aal kidaiyathu. Udambu sari illana thannai thaane care pannika teriyum. Anaavasiyama vambu thumbuku pora aal ...
