Ponniyin Selvan Varalaatru Peravai

Krupa was reading Ponniyinselvan novel's final part...part 5 (not
part 6 as popular writers like Vijayashree opines).

It was then suddenly did he hear that rather peculiar voice...

"Adappaavi krupa...sollavey illa? yaar unga kitta maattikitta andha
appaavi?"

Astonishingly, it was Sujatha's voice...

'yen kitta yellaarumeydhaan maattindu
muzhukkaraanga..romba "blade"nu pattam vaera...ivanga ippo yaarai
kaekkaraanaga' yendradhu krupa'voda manasaatchi.

At this confusing moment, Sundar (krupa's Computer Software
College mate) came from nowhere and asked,

"Thambi krupa...maattikittayaa...mmm...vidhi yaarai vittadhu?"

'aah...idhu yenna. avanga yenkitta yaaro maattinaangaraanga, ivar
naan yengayo maatinadhaa solraar...yennamo aachchu yellaarukkum.'

To make puzzle a rather hard and true puzzle, viji (tilottama)
arrived the scene only to confuse further:

"That's great news...you are forgiven. Congratulations."

'ayyo...thalaya pichchukkalaam poala irukkey...yaaro yenkitta
maattindu, naan avangakitta maattindu, adhukku yenakku yaaro
mannippum thandu, "Congrats"um solraangaley...idhellaam yenna...'.
It was exactly when Krupa was praying like this did he hear a
call from Bombay. A 1942 Krishnan broke the iceberg.

"Congrats to those members getting married. Awaiting their
invitation card"

'Oh well... so someone is getting married in our PS Group. But
how come I arrived in this scene...suppose...suppose...oru vaelai.
Chey, chey... appadi yellaam irukkaadhu. adhuvum yenakkey
theriyaamal..hee, hee...hee..'

"Krupa...How did you manage to keep this secret from us for so
long...?", again teased Viji (tilottama).

Gathering whatever guts he had, Krupa tried to speak out at last...

"Thirumathi Viji...yennai yennamo paaraattareengannu purinjadhu.
aanaa yedhukkunnudhaan puriyalai."

aanaal, kuzhappangal avvalavu seekkaram theerndhudumaa
yenna....so Srilatha added cream to the cherry.

"Yo krupa...who's the victim?"

It never did stop there itself...Ranjini's, too, screamed from US,

"Wow...congratulations to both of you"

"Hello Ranjini...neeyuma???" Krupa reciprocated.

So it means there are two persons going to marry in PS group.
This much is clear.

Aanaal, Arul Prasad-kku adhu porukkumaa? Krupa kaadhula
saththamaa vizhara maadhiri sonna seidhi yenna yendraal,

"yeppadiyo, rendu paerum nalla irundha sari."

'aah...idhukku yenna arththam. maappillai ponnu rendu paerumey
mutually exclusive-nu arththamaa..'

Kadaisiya Vaiththiyar Raththinam (Dr. Sridhar) poattu odaichchar
vishayaththai.

"hearty congrats for a happy married life, special regards..."

Krupa adhai kaettu thalai suththi, keezhey vizhundhu, marubadiyum
yezhundhu paarththaan.

"vaiththiyar ayya..yenna sonneenga, yenna sonneenga..innoru
dhadavai. Kalyaanam...yenakka...vijayaalayan-ukkum kalyaanamaa?"

"Naalamudan Vaazha Vaazhthukkal..When is the marriage.." Ramnath
kindled.

Krupa finally resigned.

"long long ago so long ago...nobody knows how long
ago...aayiraththu thollaayiraththi thonnooththi moondraam aandu..May
maadham padhinezhaam thaedhi...." Krupa started.

"dha chee...kasmaalam. innaa dokkumentary padam
kaatraya...surukkunu solla vandhadhai solli mudi." Kamal interrupted
so politely.

"vandhu...May 17th, 1993 yenakku poonal kalyaanam
nadandhadhu. Avvalavudhaan yenakku therinja orey marriage...."
yendru azhudheyvittaan Krupa.

"Dear Krupa, Vandiyathevanum Kundavaiyim pola vaazhga. Don't
worry. Be happy always. The word 'Mar' means perfect.
Marriage means the incident that makes one perfect." Sundar
Bharadwaj (rrchola) told affectionately.

"Yenakku kalyaanam-nu sonnadhu yaaru...aahaa, yaaro ippadi
puraliya kalappi vittuttaangaley...inimale veettukkulla poana yenga
amma broomstick sagidham yenaai kaeppaaley, 'dei
krupa...broomstick-kku silk bundle-aa...? Onukku kalyaanam vaera
oru kuraichchalaa'nnu... naan yenna badhil solvane..." Krupa
virtually cried.

Suddenly, at a distance, Krupa saw someone came with MBA
degree certificate in his hand...riding his Splender. Seeing krupa
crying, he came near him. Behind him was Vijayaalayan.

"Krupa...kavalai padaadhey. yellaam indha Diwakar-oda velaidhaan.
Kusumbumadaththula nadandhadhai yellaam inga post pannittaan.
Yaen ippadi panninaannu neeye kaelu.!!!" Vijayaalayan explained
everything to Krupa.

Diwakar resignedly told everyone.

"Vandhu...vandhu...Krupa kitta ippadi sonna, yenga veettukku phone
panni kaththuvaan-nu nenachchane. appo yenga veetlayum naan
ippadi panninadhu theriyum. Appovaavadhu yenakku yenga veetla
yennoda kalyaanaththai mudippaangannu nenachchane."

"Yoves...yenna valayaadariyaa...dhideernnu kalyaanam yeppadi
pannuvaanga onakku? Poonu paakka yellaam vaendaamaa?"
Vijayaalayan asked in surprise.

"vandhu...adhellaam ready-yadhaan irukku. All I want is someone
to tell my parents about that ponnu..hee, hee, hee...", a blushing
Diwakar told.
