CHAPTER 128- SPEAKING ON SIGNS.
***
128/04. முகைமொக்குள் உள்ளது நாற்றம்போல் பேதை
நகைமொக்குள் உள்ளதொன்று உண்டு.

128/04. Mugaimokkull ulladhu naatrrampoal pedhai
Nagaimokkull ulladhondrru undo.

128/04. "Inside a bud, just blossoming as flower, sweet aroma is hidden.
Like that, inside her lips laughter is hidden."
***
Mohinder: Now he started studying her from all angles.

Nayan: He is comparing her lips,
Hiding her bursting laughs,
To a bud that has sweet smell,
Even when it is closed well.

Inside her silent lips
There hides her laughs,
But her early sufferings
Are covering those laughs

He wants to turn her worries,
Into out-bursting laughs,
So, he's studying her lips
Holding by hands her hips.

.128/05. செறிதொடி செய்திறந்த கள்ளம் உறுதுயர்
தீர்க்கும் மருந்தொன்று உடைத்து.

128/05. Serrithodi seithirrandha; kallam urruthuyar
Theerikkum marundhondrru udaiththu.

128/05. "Her bangles are rubbing each other,
And it shows her endurance capacity,
That acts as a medicine for all my worries."
***
Mohinder: As the bangles are loose they rub each other
And he is observing that she has gone slim by her worries.

Nayan: After some years, when he comes,
He observes a lot of changes,
Particularly her lean appearance,
And her loose jingling bangles.

He knows the cause for her worries,
As he went out on his business,
But she's is trying to cheer him,
Without throwing any blame on him.

He's showing up his cheers.
She has forgotten her worries.
Thus, they laughed at each other
Without blaming each other.
***
128/06. பெரிதாற்றிப் பெட்பக் கலத்தல் அரிதாற்றி
அன்பின்மை சூழ்வது உடைத்து.

128/06. Peridhaatrrip petpak kalathal aridhatrri
Anbinmai soozhvadhu udaiththu.

128/06. "Now she is standing as if she was suffering
Without showing her love to me that strongly indicates
That I have no love for her."
***
Mohinder: In the last couplet they understood each other
Now he says she has no love for him.

Nayan: Yes, It is really no one knows,
When and how a girl changes
Her mind as well as her moods,
As she'll change in split seconds.

He feels he has no love for her,
Next moment he'll love her.
Similarly, she has no love for him,
And next moment she'll love him.

This is their family life
As husband and wife,
They can love each other
And fight with each other.
