'APPUNNI'
Malu, did you deliver the milk to the shop?
Ammukutty is milking the cow.
Ask her to make it fast. It's already noon.
Why do you milk the cow every day? Why can't your father do it?
My dad is too lazy to work.
Ammukutty!
Kumaran.
Your mother is calling you. Go on. - Kumaran.
I am coming.
Ayyappan Nair. - What is it?
Appunni, please collect this milk.
Why are you late, Keshavan?
The milkman was late.
Did Shankaran Nair deliver milk?
Yes.
Is it good? - Water would be a better word.
Did you try boiling? - Why would I boil water?
Okay.
This is not acceptable.
He plans to make a lot of money through fraud.
We better stop this. - Sure.
Are you closing down the shop? - Shankaran Nair is a cheat.
What happened? - The milk is too much diluted.
That cheat!
Can I get you a cup of tea? - Yes, sure.
Why are you bothered about it?
In a while, your daughter will bring good quality milk.
Won't she, Appunni?
Mom, I am taking the milk to the shop. - Okay.
Come back soon. - Okay.
Come on.
Ammukutty, can I get some tea? - You can have it at the shop.
Appunni. - Yes?
What are you doing here?
I am helping Appunni.
Oh! Some help you are.
Here it is.
Take it. - No!
You're too much! - Appunni.
Serve him tea.
Get me some strong tea.
Where is Adhikari?
Speak of the devil.
We were just talking about you.
Appunni, serve me my tea. - Here.
Hajiyar. - Yes?
Did you take a flight from Mecca to Medina?
What is wrong with it?
We travelled inside a big bird.
Please explain it to him, Hajiyar.
You need to understand something.
An aeroplane is bigger than your 'Krishnakanti'.
What is 'Krishnakanti'?
The eagle in Hindu mythology.
Make it clear. - Why don't you give it a try?
But you took the flight. - Listen to me.
Firstly, the big bird lands in the terminal.
Later, a few people will bring a ladder.
It will be fixed on its back. The door opens after that.
The passengers inside will get down through the ladder.
The passengers waiting outside will get inside through the ladder.
They will close the doors.
Then the engine will start.
After that, it will fly away.
In a few seconds, it will reach the sky.
Serve him tea. - Make it strong. My throat is sore.
How is the business, Ayyappan Nair?
He has earned money. - He should pay me for that.
I suggested him to open a tea shop when he got his shares.
He was hesitant.
People were trying to confuse me.
Why was it so?
My ancestors were the warriors of the royal family.
People said that it's a shame to open a tea shop.
That advice would've gotten you nowhere.
It was Appunni's presence that gave me confidence.
He is the most hardworking man in this village.
But you should give him what he deserves.
You don't need to tell me that.
Ammu is Appunni's fiancee. - Yes.
Appunni
marry Ammukutty as soon as possible.
Vasu.
Sing that song.
Which song? - The one from that movie.
It's called 'Hey bastard, come here'.
Yes! 'Oh, melodious singer, come near me..'
Yes, that's the one.
"Oh, melodious singer"
"come near me.."
"Admirer.." - Did you see my son, Kumaran?
Yes.
He is right there.
Come here!
Come here.. - Oh, God!
You roam around somewhere all the time.
Don't you have classes? Come with me.
Come here..
Here.. Hey!
Greetings, sir. - Greetings..
Hey..
Unnikrishnan O.V. - Present, sir.
Vinod A. - Present, sir.
Sudeesh M.K. - Present, sir.
Prabhath T. - Present, sir.
Praseeda C. - Present, sir.
Reena K.V. - Present, sir.
Kumaran A.V. - He's calling out your name.
Kumaran A.V. - Present, sir.
Is everyone present? - Yes.
Let's begin the class.
Solve this problem.
Sir, we've been doing this for the past week.
Won't you do it for the second week?
Obey me. You don't have to teach me. Sit down.
Idiot!
I'm fed up, Narayanan Nair. - Why?
Do you know what the townsfolk told me
when I became a peon in this school?
That my life is sorted now!
Do you know what I thought?
I joined this school
thinking that I'd get holidays because of all the workers' strike.
What happened now? - Yeah, right!
This makes me really angry.
Is there anyone in this school who is class conscious?
Is there anyone? As if no one ever leaves this place.
Is there a political party that could unite them?
There's none.
I get tempted when I hear the stories of the other schools.
Do you know how it is?
Teachers call a strike for two weeks.
Then the students for two weeks.
They live a happy life.
If we get a few holidays
I can look after my farm
or I can visit my wife's house.
Karunakaran. - Did you hear that?
They will never give me rest.
I have never seen such a bad school in my life. - Karunakaran.
I'm coming.
See you.. Oh, God!
'Smoking and alcohol consumption are injurious to health.'
Take my cow to the vet. - For what?
Don't ask questions. Take it there. I've talked with the vet.
Wait..
Kunjulakshmi wants some oil. Buy that too.
Before that, I want tea.
You can be late. I'll manage here.
'The taxes on areca nut will be increased.'
'Wholesale prices..'
One for me. Six for the teachers.
Seven cups in total. - Okay.
Will you take it with you?
The service rules don't permit that!
Give me one tea and take the rest to the school.
Appunni.
One, two, three, four..
Which place in India gets the highest rainfall? Sudhakaran.
Next, Usha. - Cherrapunji. - Good.
Gosh!
Here comes the brute!
When is the wedding, Appunni? - It doesn't matter.
They live together. Don't you, Appunni?
Won't you invite us to the wedding?
After that, he will shave off his beard to become handsome.
At least, you can see him every day.
What about me? I don't remember even his face.
He left on the third day after the wedding. - So what?
He will come back with money.
Yeah, right!
His weekly letter is my only source of happiness.
I've told him many times to come back from Dubai.
Leave it.
Anyway, he married you. So he won't leave you.
I will tell your dad
that you can't sleep without seeing your husband.
You can say that as Appunni is here with you.
If he weren't here, your response would've been different.
As if his presence is a blessing to me.
He can't even smile at me with affection.
His heart is filled with love for you, dear.
I've seen him stealing glances at you.
I'm going. - Back to the shop?
Get lost!
Appunni, I'm leaving. - I need money to buy sugar.
Is it over already? - Yes.
Does everyone come here to eat sugar?
I don't know.
I've kept it on the table. - Okay.
Oh!
Won't you allow me to work?
What will you do? - I'll smack you.
We'll see. - I will..
Vadakkumuri Vasu's daughter is getting married this Sunday.
So what?
Shouldn't we gift something? - No.
Why?
I had given Rs. 10 each for his other three daughters' wedding.
Including this, it'll be Rs. 40.
When will we get it back? - During Ammu's wedding.
We will get a maximum of Rs. 10.
What about the rest? We don't have a lot of kids.
Still, shouldn't we give something? - No.
Attend the wedding. And bless the pair.
The teachers have settled their dues.
How much is it?
Rs. 7.70.
Three.. Seven.
Ammu, serve him food.
What is this? - Sambar.
Why does it taste salty? - Don't eat it if it's too salty.
I know what to do.
Why is it so dirty?
Because I boiled it with dirt.
What? - The problem is with you.
We ate the same thing. There's nothing wrong.
Eat it if you want. - Shut up!
Ammu. - What is it?
Haven't you added chilli in this? It is tasteless.
Normal people eat this food. - Am I a monster?
Maybe. Why else would you complain about it? - You..
What? - Ammu, come here.
Why are you talking back to him? - He shouted at me.
So what? You have to live with him.
But why is he arguing all the time? - Men are like that.
Well, not with me. I know how to handle it.
Oh, I'm fed up with both of you!
Ammu. - Here.
I'm leaving.
Appunni is serious nowadays.
He always quarrels with Ammu. - Why is that?
He thinks that they are already married.
People always mock him about it.
That's the matter. - What is there to mock?
Ammu is his girl. - I didn't deny that.
We must hurry up. - Let me arrange some money.
We can arrange the money once we fix a date.
The horoscope needs to be checked. - Call Nanu Panikkar.
Yes, I will.
Come closer. - Hey, don't!
Come here. - What is this?
Here. - What is this?
Gosh!
Why are you here? - I came to feed the cow.
Is this where you feed it? - Yes, is that a problem?
You deserve a beating.
It's from you, right? It's okay.
Appunni. - Yes?
Will you give me a vada? - Take it yourself.
I want you to serve it.
Are you trying to sweet talk? I'll..
Appunni. - What?
I want a cup of tea.
Is this a place for girls?
Give me a cup of tea.
How much is it? - 25 paisa.
Here.
Hey.
How much does this cost? - How many do you want? - Six.
It costs Rs. 2 per dozen.
Here. - See you later.

Huh!
Appunni, are you day dreaming?
I have been waiting for some time.
Shall I serve you tea? - Add milk. Less water.
Milk and sugar should be more. And it should be strong.
Hi.
Appunni, tomorrow you should go to the market. - Okay.
Did you stop shopping at the market nearby?
It's too costly.
I'm leaving. - To the market? - No, to the post office.
My daughter will be mad
if I don't take her husband's letter.
Where did you get this bangle from?
The bangle seller didn't have money.
So I bought bangles from him instead.
Okay.
How much did it cost?
Re. 1.
These bangles look good on you.
Why? - I am so proud.
It's really beautiful.
For a long time, I've been thinking
of buying these bangles for you.
Hey!
Appunni, water.
Uncle Ittukaarichan was the head of our family back then.
Even his superiors used to shudder at his name.
Everyone used to respect our family.
After evening prayers, uncle used to gather all the kids
to tell the stories regarding our family.
That eminence is our only asset now.
Are you able to understand, Appunni? - Yes.
When I heard that you're going to the market
I thought you'll return in a bullock cart.
Do you think I'm so rich, Hajiyar?
If it was so less, you could've bought it from here itself.
Do you think I'll do something without thinking, Hajiyar?
If I'd bought these items here, it would've cost me Rs. 3 more.
Isn't it sad that you made Appunni carry the load for so long?
He's my nephew.
Do you know that our family members have always been hard workers?
And he is the one to take care of Ammu in the future.
Instead of just saying that
get them married soon, Nair. - Yes, I'll do that.
Come on! - Go on.
Amina! You've got a letter from your husband. - Huh?
Where is it, Dad? - Where? Here.
Take it.
Just look at her excitement.
Now she doesn't want her father or her friend.
By the way, Ammu, what is your father waiting for?
Can't you just tell him
to get you married to Appunni soon?
I have talked for Appunni.
Do you want me to talk for you? I can do that too.
But I want my tip.
I'm not in a hurry. - Oh, God!
Has any girl ever accepted that she is in a hurry to get married?
I always remind your father about it.
But it looks like he has plans of his own. Oh! She's left.
Amina! If you're done with the letter, get me some water.
Appunni..
Appunni! - What is it?
Mr. Ayyappan has gone to bring Nanu Panikkar. - Why?
To check Ammu's horoscope.
Horoscope? - Yes. - But why?
For marriage. - Whose marriage?
Your marriage with Ammu.
Are you serious? - I swear.
I heard them talking about it.
Do you want some tea? - Okay.
What do you want to eat? - 'Bonda' and banana.
'Unni Appam'? - Yes. That too. - Come.
Where are you heading to in this scorching heat?
I need to meet Nanu Panikkar.
Hey! Move away. Beware of the falling coconuts.
I need to check my daughter's horoscope.
I can predict that everything will be fine.
It will be good if you come with me.
Is that necessary?
Fix the date. I'll take care of everything else.
You have to be at the forefront.
I will be there. Go and talk to him.
Bye.
Aquarius ascendant.
The moon is in a perfect position.
The sun and Jupiter are in the second phase.
The third position is empty.
Venus is in the fourth.
Other planets can be avoided.
Is that possible? - Of course.
So what's the final word? - It looks great! - Okay.
Where's the groom's horoscope?
We don't have that. - Okay. That's all right.
What about the marriage? - It will happen very soon.
Where would the groom come from?
He might be from the central region.
Help me with the suitcase. - Okay.
Are you Mr. Menon? - Yes.
Mr. Kurup had told me. I was waiting. - Okay.
Please come.
Move forward.
Look, this is the house. - Okay.
Please come.
Oh! Have you arrived? - Yes.
You can come upstairs.
Greetings! - Greetings.
Please come.. Be careful.
The journey was tiring, wasn't it? - That's all right. - Come in.
Come on. - You can..
Keep it there itself!
Shall I leave? - Okay.
Please come. Sit down.
So, your accommodation is ready.
Velayudhan, the match-stick company owner, owns this place.
The rent is less, and the school is nearby.
It's good that I have your company here.
A bath in it will be refreshing. You can enjoy the scenic beauty.
You can get a good sleep in this soothing breeze.
What about the food, Mr. Kurup?
That is the only problem.
Aren't there any hotels nearby?
There's only one tea stall here. But you won't get meals there.
Can we arrange it somewhere else? - We'll see.
Otherwise, you can have food from my house.
But you'll have to walk five miles. - That's impossible.
We'll think about it.
Aren't you joining today? - Yes.
This is our school, Mr. Menon. - Okay.
The children are well-behaved.
Hey! What is it, children? - Hey!
Hey! - Go to your classes..
Listen! Move! - They won't spare even the teachers.
Hey! No.. You'll feel my wrath.
Go back. Go.. I'll thrash you all!
Go! Run..
He is from another place.
His accommodation is ready. But what about food?
We don't have even a good hotel here.
So we thought that we'd discuss the matter with you.
What can I do about this?
Can you arrange it at your tea stall?
Is that what you think of me? - Not at all.
It would help Mr. Menon and you could make some money.
I belong to Peraatu Padaveetil family! Do you know?
Everyone in this village respects us.
Due to some hardships
we had to start a tea stall.
But I've never considered it a business. Did you get it?
But I.. - You didn't say that. But you should never.
Don't you know about my ancestors?
They were warriors.
I can never think
of serving meals to others and cleaning their leftovers.
Why are you so furious? I was just asking.
Who else can I discuss these matters with?
If you aren't interested, I'll find an alternate way. - That's better.
Then I'll try asking Adhikari.
He might be able to give me a solution. See you.
Kurup, wait.
Anyway, since you came all the way here
and as that teacher is from the Menon caste
I can arrange lunch for both of you just for today.
From tomorrow, you should find another way. - Okay.
Malu! - Yes?
Today, we'll have Kurup and Mr. Menon for lunch.
Menon is new to this place.
No problem. You can come.
This is Mr. Menon.
Greetings. - Greetings. Please come.
I hope I'm not troubling you. - Not at all.
We can afford it once in a while.
Come in.
Please sit down.
Kurup has told me about you. - He has told me too.
So, you are from the north, aren't you? - Yes.
What is the name of your house?
Chemmanaputhussery. - Did you say Chemmanaputhussery?
My house was near that. I am from Peraatu Padaveetil.
I have heard about it. - I'm the outsider now.
Is this your first time as a teacher? - Yes.
You are fortunate to get placed near your hometown.
You can visit your home on weekends.
What about your family? - I only have a mother.
You are quite fortunate.
Shall I serve the lunch? - Shall we?
Serve him.
That's enough. - Give him some more.
That's enough.
Please taste that Papad. That is rare.
Have you met Adhikari? - No, we plan to.
I would like some 'Avial'. - Please give him some 'Avial'.
Bring some 'Avial', dear.
I think you liked the lunch very much.
What's the need of asking?
I have never had a meal so delicious in my entire life.
All these dishes taste really good.
This feels like a feast. - Gosh! This is just a simple meal.
You may not feel like it because you have it every day.
Only an outsider can understand that.
I'm willing to spend all my salary
for a meal like this every day.
You cannot get a meal like this anywhere else.
Ayyappan Nair wouldn't agree to that
even if you offered him all your assets.
All the credit goes to the culinary skills of the ladies.
You cooked it, right?
Not me. It was prepared by Ammu.
Your husband will be lucky to have you as wife.
Come, the water is here. - Okay.
Malu, please get the towel.
My forefathers
had amassed much wealth.
It was all lost.
At last, I became a tea seller.
What's wrong with that? Can we stop time?
What he said is right.
Why would I, a man of noble birth, have to earn my living
as a school teacher?
No matter how rich you are, earning on your own is good.
That's true.
Would you like a betel leaf? - No.
Do you have a farm back at home? - Yes.
How much does it produce? - Enough to feed ourselves.
That itself is big.
It's getting late. Shall we go? - Yes.
You should visit us again. - Yes, absolutely.
I deserve a meal as a reward
for bringing you, two men of noble birth
together.
Bye. - Bye.
See you.
Appunni, are you going for lunch?
He is a good guy. Isn't he? - Yes.
Does he look like a man who was born
with a silver spoon? - That shows his humility.
He, like us, is from a noble family.
Ammu, serve lunch to Appunni.
Ammu, why does it taste burnt?
Why?
I don't know.
It's a beautiful place. - Menon, that's not enough.
Why? - Somehow we managed our meals today.
What about tomorrow's food? - You can take care of it.
What if we ask Adhikari?
Mom, don't beat me. - Stop!
Mom, don't beat me. Oh, no! - Stop!
Hey, Kumaran, don't run. You are testing my patience.
Hey!
Mr. Menon, come.
You won't like the meals that I cook.
The question is not of liking.
He is a government employee.
You will get your money on the first of every month.
And I will be relieved of this duty.
Don't expect a wide variety of dishes.
All I need is something to alleviate my hunger.
And I want my food to be clean.
Then this is the perfect place.
Let's fix this. - Okay.
She is Kalyani's wayward son.
Is it? Come here, boy. - Go to him.
He is a school teacher. Ask him to help you with studies.
Boy, come here.
He seems to be obedient!
What does the boy's father do?
We should get going. There are signs of a drizzle.
Ms. Kalyani, we agree to the terms.
Bye.
Shall we leave? - Okay.
There is one thing that you should keep in mind.
Menon is from a noble family.
So, keep your tricks to yourself. - Shut up!
Appunni, are you providing food for the newly appointed school teacher?
It was just for one day. - Won't you give him food again?
Hajiyar, don't tease me.
What are you worried about?
He is not your enemy.
Anyway, you are to gain from this. - What gain?
You are getting a new customer.
So what? - You are going to become acquaintances.
I don't have acquaintances or enemies.
On that note, make me a cup of tea.
Okay.
Adhikari, let's have a cup of tea. - No, I had one.
Why did you go across the river? - To book the band.
The festival is just around the corner.
I'll have to arrange everything.
This time, the programmes should be great.
Let's avoid the dance shows.
Or else, people might hate the programmes like the last time.
You better stay away. - You know nothing about this.
Most of the money has to be spent on the band.
Then there are all the other artists to be taken care of.
If we add their food and travel expenses
we'll feel that it is better..
So, what was I talking about?
It is better to stay away. - What?
It is better to stay away from the festival. - Yes.
You must be Appunni.
Yes, I am.
I would like a good tea.
I don't serve bad tea here. - It's not like that.
Do you want anything else? - What else do you offer?
Bananas and Vadas. - I will have both.
Where is Ayyappan Nair?
I don't know.
Please stop.
Is there a letter for me?
No.
Didn't you get the letter? - No, Ammu.
He doesn't know my pain.
Ask your dad to take you to Dubai.
Then the postman can live a fearless life.
I heard that you are the one who cooks
for the newly appointed school teacher.
What about it? - Don't forget Appunni.
Get lost! - How does he look?
He is handsome.
In his white shirt, he looks fair. Even his smile is beautiful
When did you see him smile? - When he was talking to dad.
He liked the food I prepared.
He might have liked you as well.
You should have asked your dad to serve him daily.
We don't wish to earn like that.
That helped Kalyani.
How?
Don't you know? These days, Kalyani makes his lunch.
Ammu!
What is this? - A shirt.
Whose shirt? - Your shirt.
Why did you put it in the dirt? - It must be the wind.
Didn't you notice? - I can't block the wind.
I'll teach you a lesson. - Right!
You scold me all the time.
I was the first one to raise voice
to establish a school in this village.
Just because of that
I got a chance to mingle with educated people
like you.
Creating a good circle of friends is a difficult task, right? - Yes.
He is my only friend here.
I forgot to ask you something.
Do you like 'Thirayattam'? - Of course.
It's a traditional art form.
I've arranged it.
Come to the temple
by tomorrow evening. - I will be there.
What about you? - No, I won't come.
First of all, I can't be awake all night.
By the time I reach home after it, I'll have to return to school.
It is tough.
So, you're cordially invited. - Okay.
Aren't you coming to the temple?
You may go. Let me take a bath first. - Okay.
Let's go. - Okay.
Food is kept in the kitchen. Tell Appunni to have it.
He can't afford to lose today's business.
Today, we can earn more.
Oh, God!
Hold it. Let me check the chicken coop.
That torch will burn out. I'll take care of the chicken coop.
Is this really you, Mr. Menon? - Why did you ask?
You look like a film star.
Do I look so handsome? - Yes, you look great.
Aren't you going to the school? - Yes.
Girls will fall for you for sure.
The show was pretty good yesterday, wasn't it?
Ammu!
Can't you refill this mug?
Why would you shout for that?
Do you want me to say that?
Can't you fill it yourself if you're in a hurry?
I will..
What will you do? - Ammu!
He is so short tempered. Oh, God!
Why didn't you reply to me yesterday?
Maybe, you can't talk.
I can manage.
Then tell me. Did you like the show?
Yes, I did.
Even I liked it.
This must be your evening stroll.
I was simply roaming around.
I've to tell you something. - What's it?
I know that you are well educated. Don't think that I'm advising you.
Appunni is a simpleton. Don't spoil his life.
Menon didn't visit us again.
He is a regular at the shop. Why did you ask?
It seems like Ammu liked him a lot.
She keeps talking about him.
He was seen in the temple the other day.
Why does Appunni look upset these days?
I don't know. He doesn't concentrate on his work either.
Is he in a hurry to get married? - I don't know.
Ammu!
Ammu, open the door.
Get me some water.
Here.
Ammu! - Someone might see us.
So what?
Why are you grazing the cows in this open area?
Where else should I graze them?
Can't you take them to Kalyani's backyard? - Oh, no!
That woman is not as bad as you think.
She's not at all rude.
I need to speak to you.
Will you come there tomorrow afternoon?
Okay.
Why are you standing so far? You can come closer.
Hey, Kumaran, buy some firewood.
I can't. - Moron! He never obeys me!
I'll be back soon, sir.
Make yourself comfortable, Ammu.
She is a nice woman, isn't she?
Ammu!
Kumaran, buy a packet of cigarette for me.
Okay.
Huh! - Here.
Kumaran! - Yes? - Come here.
Buy some chocolates with this money.
Lemon candy or mango candy? - Whatever you want.
Okay, I'll buy it.
Ammu!
Excuse me. - Okay.
Ammu!
Come on.
Appunni, why does the tea taste so bad?
Didn't you boil the water?
Couldn't you boil the water well?
That's enough.
Why is the 'Puttu' so hard?
Don't you have anything else? - Don't eat it then.
What's wrong with you, Appunni?
Oh!
If there's any problem, tell us. We'll find a solution.
Appunni, buy some oilcake from Chettiar.
Here.
Appunni...
I am coming too.
Go away!
Why is he so gloomy, Mr. Nair? - I don't know, Hajiyar.
But I know.
He wants that marriage to happen soon.
Just wait. Let me make some money first.
You can.
But if the marriage doesn't happen soon
it will be big trouble.
What do you mean, Hajiyar?
That's how it is.
Okay. - Don't you see that he is suffering?
There is some talk about your daughter and that teacher.
Do you know that?
Did you by heart the poem I taught you yesterday?
Yes, we did.. - Can you sing it properly?
"To satiate hunger, milk was heated.."
I will call the one who needs to sing.
"To satiate hunger, milk was heated."
"Honey was kept in a silver plate."
"After finishing the ripe fruits"
"they started talking."
"With cutest of sounds.. - With cutest of sounds"
"the small girl started talking."
"With cutest of sounds.."
"The small girl started talking."
"The small girl started.."
How many times do I need to tell you?
"After finishing the ripe fruits"
"they started talking."
"With cutest of sounds"
"the small girl started talking."
"Oh, clear dew drop."
"Oh, firefly with a wish to fly high."
"Oh, clear dew drop."
"Oh, firefly with a wish to fly high."
"The desire to caress you"
"as a gentle breeze"
"comes back to my mind."
"Oh, clear dew drop."
"Oh, firefly with a wish to fly high."
"Your hair dances with the breeze."
"Your lip jiggles with happiness."
"Your hair dances with the breeze."
"Your lip jiggles with happiness."
"Your crimson cheek"
"adorned with a black mole"
"dances like a peacock."
"Even the moon"
"loses to you."
"Your beautiful gazes"
"give me sweet dreams."
"Your beautiful gazes"
"give me sweet dreams."
"The world is a fantasy to you."
"Oh, clear dew drop."
"Oh, firefly with a wish to fly high."
"The light breeze"
"while passing through the valley"
"touches you gently."
"Painted in Prussian blue"
"the wavy lake hits the shore."
"Flowers of joy"
"rains in my heart."
"Flowers of joy"
"rains in my heart."
"Come to me in the dead of night."
"Oh, clear dew drop."
"Oh, firefly with a wish to fly high."
"The desire to caress you"
"as a gentle breeze"
"comes back to my mind."
"Oh, clear dew drop."
"Oh, firefly with a wish to fly high."
Huh!
Classes are over. Why isn't he going home?
Mr. Menon.
Mr. Menon.. - What?
What happened, sir?
I had no idea that you were this brave.
What brave thing did I do?
Aren't you a teacher? - Yes.
Is Ayyappan Nair's daughter, Ammu, one of your chapters?
Is she?
Do you love her?
D-Does everyone know?
It has become a global news.
Well.. Now what? - Don't worry.
What is your plan?
W-What plan?
Do you want to marry her?
I do.
Since we are way past the beginning
ask Ayyappan Nair. - Well..
But..
There is another problem, Mr. Kurup.
What is that? - Even though they are from Peraatu Padaveetil family
my mother may not let me marry the daughter
of a tea seller.
Have you talked to her about it? - No.
Then?
She is like that, sir.
What do we do now?
I will go forward even if she refuses.
That's not good.
Go and talk to your mother.
We can't guess it.
She might agree.
Yes, you are right.
Mother.
What?
I need to tell you something. - What is it?
Mother, are you afraid of staying alone
while I am not here?
Listen. Everyone else here fears me.
Go and get some tobacco!
Near the place where I work
there is a beautiful..
Beautiful what? - A river.
Do you bathe in the river? - No.
Near my house..
With hot water.. - That's how you should bath.
Not in the river like some street kids.
Tell Mr. Raman Nair to give some hay to the cow.
Give some hay to the cow, Raman Nair!
Damn it!
Mother. - What is it?
Does it rain here? - Yes, it does.
Mother. - What is it?
Nothing.
Right!
Has Ammu slept?
She is asleep.
What about Appunni? - He too. What is it?
Close the door first.
I was thinking about something.
What is it? - It's about Ammu.
I heard that Mr. Menon is romantically interested in Ammu.
How will that work out?
Haven't we fixed her marriage with Appunni?
That is right.
But if we get a son-in-law like Mr. Menon
won't that be great?
What are you talking about?
We had fixed her marriage long back.
Help me with this.
Who among them is smart?
It would be Mr. Menon. He belongs to a good family.
Not just a good family
he is a government employee too.
Building a relation with Chemmanaputhussery family
isn't something small.
But what will Appunni think about us?
He is our boy. He will understand.
We will get him married to some other girl.
After all, Appunni works at a tea stall, Malu.
Do whatever you feel like. I don't know anything.
If Mr. Menon approaches us with a proposal
then we shall get it done.
Will they come?
Yes, they will. They have to.
That is what I think.
But let us not tell this to Appunni.
You are clever!
Blow out the lamp. Let us not waste the fuel.
How could the townsfolk be wrong? - I don't know.
My father takes decisions about my marriage.
He will take care of it.
Does that mean that you don't like Appunni?
Appunni is always angry with me.
What about Mr. Menon? - He is loving.
Ammu, don't fall for his good looks.
You won't find anyone as loving as Appunni.
The rest is up to you.
"When it started raining"
"a girl took shelter in my dreams."
"She captured my heart"
"and settled in it."
"When it started raining"
"a girl took shelter in my dreams."
That is the news.
We will renovate the house.
Where were you all this while?
Your husband is here.
"She turned into a monster."
Oh, she ran off!
When will you come back?
He has leave for three months.
He might take me with him when he leaves.
I'll visit you before that.
I won't have company when you are gone.
People are waiting just to give you company.
Ammu
you should inform me when your marriage is fixed.
Just tell my father about it.
Both of us will be there if it is before our departure.
See you.
He will be waiting for me.
Even if I get a little late, he will start looking for me.
Always remain a good girl.
How long will you hide?
People have started spreading rumours.
Why don't you get it done at least now?
I shall.
I need my mother's blessings. That's all I want.
What if your mother opposes? - She will like it.
I'll explain it to her in the right way.
Whatever it is, just don't delay it any longer.
Appunni is a very angry man.
Did Appunni say anything?
He never speaks out.
He will calm down once you get married.
Let me see if the rice is cooked.
I am going to tell my mother soon.
Will your parents like me?
I don't know.
All I need is your consent, right?
I am leaving, Ms. Kalyani.
Okay.
Marry her as soon as possible.
How does it matter to you?
It doesn't matter to me. I just told you what I felt.
These days, it's a crime to say something good.
If you don't marry her soon
someone else will marry her.
Nobody will do that.
Then I'll tell you the truth. Mr. Menon will marry her.
He won't make a move! - Why are you getting angry at me?
Everyone knows.
Do whatever you like. Oh, that was paper.
Here is your money.
'No one should be judged based on their outward appearance.'
'For the strength of a monkey lies in its tail.'
'With his blazing tail'
'he set the palace ablaze.'
'T-The palace siren pierced the silence of the night..'
Why are you so early?
It isn't time for lunch. - When is my wedding?
W-Why are you in such a hurry?
Everything was fixed. Then what's the delay?
I'm not delaying it.
I have asked somebody for some money.
Let me receive that.
Anyway, what is there to ask about it?
'T-The palace siren pierced the silence of the night'
'with warnings of pillage.'
'The heaven and earth shook..'
Why don't you go after lunch?
'The heaven and earth shook'
'with the news of the attack.'
'Oh, vandal, you will be branded a traitor'
'by your own kind.'
Mother.
- What is it?
Have you heard of Ayyappan Padanair
of Peraatu Padaveetil?
Who?
Ayyappan Nair of Peraatu Padaveetil.
I have heard of that family.
Aren't they the ones who ruined their family?
Mr. Ayyappan Nair of that family stays near our school.
He owns a tea stall. - So what?
She has only one daughter. She is really beautiful.
There are many such beautiful girls.
I want to marry her.
Say it again!
I want to marry her.
You shameless fellow!
How dare you think of such an atrocity?
I'll kill you. - Don't get angry.
They were an affluent family once.
How dare you say that to my face?
I was the one who brought you up after your father's demise.
Who denied that?
Then you better realise that I call the shots here.
You will change your opinion once you see Ammu.
Shut up!
Ammu, my foot!
If they ever come here with a proposal
I know how to deal with them.
I'll marry her even if you don't like it.
Then I'll hang myself to death
at the time of your marriage.
I think we made a mistake.
How?
I should have come with you as a mediator. - No.
That wouldn't have helped.
My mother is very adamant.
Once she says something, it's as good as done.
She will never back off.
What do we do now?
How about we talk to Ayyappan Nair?
That would be good. But you should be there, Mr. Kurup.
Oh, no! No, Menon.
Such things are to be done in person.
Just go and talk with Ayyappan Nair.
Let's see what happens.
It's a really good proposal. Did you talk to your mother?
It's better not to ask her.
That's not right. You are her only son.
She is not happy about this.
What's her reason? - She lives in the past.
She must be thinking that we are inferior to you, right?
It will be all right after the marriage.
We don't need your pity.
Even our family was a noble one.
Shucks! - Everybody is aware of it.
You might be aware, but your mother is not.
Didn't you tell her? - She didn't have patience.
We are not trying to get rid of Ammu!
A lot of suitors are waiting for my approval.
Don't get angry.
I'll come back some other day, and we'll sort this out.
See you. - Okay.
What will we do now? - She doesn't know anything about our lineage.
So, what is the way out? - There is a way.
Anybody here?
Who is there?
Why did you keep all the doors open?
Times have changed. - Who are you?
You might have heard of me. I'm Ayyappan Nair.
Are you that tea seller?
What are you here for? - Didn't your son tell you?
Yes, he did. But I cannot accept her as my daughter-in-law.
You shouldn't have come here for this.
My ancestors were the warriors of the royal family.
They're not qualified enough to even enter our house.
You can show some manners.
I may lack manners. But don't try to teach me that.
So, are you against this marriage?
Should I repeat it?
I may lack in wealth.
But I won't sell my pride for anything.
Then don't waste time. You can leave.
I don't have the habit of refraining from anything.
As long as I am alive
nothing will happen in this house against my will.
Let him marry anyone after my death.
I'll make this happen when you're alive.
Yeah, right!
I'll reach there in time to bless them!
We will see.
What happened? Did she accept the proposal?
Our honour can only be saved through this marriage.
Didn't she accept it? - Not at all.
She said that she wouldn't accept it as long as she is alive.
What did you say? - I stood up to her challenge.
That's good. - I'll fix the marriage tomorrow.
Let's see who is going to win.
Appunni, there is no use in getting disappointed.
I have told you many a time to get married.
Did you listen?
Leave it. Make me some tea.
There is no tea. - No tea?
Is it because you are angry?
Think whatever you want.
Why are you taking your anger out on me?
I don't want your tea. I'm leaving.
He is waiting for you.
Why do you look so sad?
What happened to you?
You betrayed me. - Me?
Yes, you promised to marry Ammu off to Mr. Menon.
Oh, no!
So what?
You would still be my nephew. Right?
I've found a beautiful girl for you.
She too is like my daughter.
I don't want to get married. - Then?
I need the share of my ancestral property.
Why do you want that? - I'll go and live somewhere else.
Idiot! - Don't you dare call me an idiot.
I will forget that you are my uncle!
I need my share within two days. Or else..
22.. 120, 124..
It won't be enough to pay the wages.
Let's check Vadakeparambil.
Vadakeparambil Chandran has to pay Rs. 54.
This isn't enough for this month.
Ayyappan Nair, what made you come here?
I wanted to meet you.
Please accept this.
A present? It is unexpected from you.
Have a seat. - I'll sit here.
I have been planning to come here for a long time.
I am sure that you need some help.
Or else, you wouldn't have done this.
Please don't read into it.
Still, I've something to tell you.
What is it? - It's about Appunni.
What happened to him?
You need to make him understand certain things.
You are the only one who can do that.
I'll do it if it's possible for me.
Please tell me.
Ammu has got a marriage proposal from Mr. Menon.
When he came to me directly, I couldn't refuse.
What have you done?
How long has Appunni been waiting for this?
You gave him hopes.
People have started spreading rumours.
Even I heard about it.
People can say anything. You don't have to worry about it.
Appunni was eagerly waiting to get married.
Isn't it a crime to go back on your words now?
Let me remind you that.
Why are you keeping mum?
Back in the day of our prime, we were warriors.
But I turned out to be a tea seller.
I just want the next generation to have a better life.
If Appunni marries her
we would still be known as tea sellers.
With Mr. Menon, I can keep that pride alive.
Even Ammu is interested in him.
What do you want me to do?
Appunni is really angry.
He now wants a share of our ancestral property.
He wants to leave this village.
If we don't give his share in two days
it's hard to predict what he will do.
Also, I don't know how to run the shop in his absence.
Firstly, you need his permission for Ammu and Menon's marriage.
Secondly, he shouldn't ask for his share. - Yes.
And thirdly, he shouldn't leave the shop even after the marriage.
Please make him accept all these conditions.
It's really bad.
Still, because you came all the way here
I'll try my best.
Ask Hajiyar to come and meet me.
What will Appunni say!
What Ayyappan Nair did was wrong.
For all these years, he said Ammu was yours.
And when a rich man came, he went back on his word.
That is cheating. - He never keeps his promise.
His honour is at Appunni's mercy.
Appunni never plays such cheap tricks.
There is another thing.
Even if you lost her
wouldn't you get a better girl, Appunni?
What is there to ask?
He will surely get a rich girl.
Will you obey me, Appunni?
What is it?
Everyone knows your uncle very well.
He is a scoundrel. He doesn't keep his words.
This incident proves that.
But you are not like him.
Appunni of Peraatu Padaveetil
is loyal, honest and noble.
Isn't it right, Hajiyar?
There is no doubt in it.
Isn't it your duty to uphold your family's honour?
What should I do?
Isn't she your cousin?
If she wants to marry someone else
isn't it our duty to make it happen?
I am leaving this place. - You may.
But only after this marriage. For the sake of your honour.
You will soon become the elder of Peraatu Padaveetil family.
Let people say
that your uncle is a scoundrel and you are virtuous.
If you leave before the wedding
people will say that you are jealous.
Appunni, look at me.
I am telling you
that you should be at the forefront of this marriage.
After the marriage, I will leave before the dawn breaks. - Okay.
Until then, you should be here to take care of everything.
Here is your coffee.
There is too much milk in it.
We could've sold the milk.
We don't need that money.
Have it.
What if Appunni leaves after the marriage?
Are you crazy? He is not going anywhere.
Appunni always keeps his promises. That's what I'm afraid of.
Hajiyar has promised to take care of it after the wedding.
It's just a walk in the park.
You are really something!
But you realised it just now!
When are we conducting it? - Adhikari will take care of it.
He will take care of the date and time.
He easily falls for flattery.
How about this Saturday night, Mr. Menon?
Sure.
The sooner, the better.
Especially in this case.
There are only a few days left.
We have to make it fast.
Panikkar said that 8 p.m. is an auspicious time.
How many will be there from your side?
Three teachers and him. That is it.
That is more than enough.
Let's meet on the wedding day. - Okay.
She is your only child, Ayyappan Nair.
So, make the wedding grand.
Show them what you are made of.
There is no need to make it grand.
It shouldn't be a small one either.
Stop beating around the bush.
You got a good groom for free, and now you are pinching pennies.
Give him the details, Adhikari.
Don't you need a marquee and lights?
I will take care of it. But you have to pay. - Sure.
The feast
should be prepared by Pattars.
We should do our best, right? - Right.
Will the number of guests
come to about 100? - No, there will be more.
Let me warn you.
It will be a shame if the food is not enough.
We will do it according to the list.
Mother.
Buttermilk. - Give it to them, dear. - Okay.
Clever girl! You made it!
I am relieved
that she didn't give us a bad name by crossing the line.
After all, she is my daughter.
You were eager than your daughter, weren't you?
Don't we need nagaswaram? - Of course.
Mrs. Malu might need a helping hand.
Yes.
In that case, let it be Kalyani, who cooked
for Menon till now. - Who?
Poor thing. - Yeah, poor thing!
Do you want bangles?
Here is the list of things to buy, Hajiyar.
Bring a gunny bag, Malu.
One is not enough. Don't be such a miser.
That is enough. - Don't fight for such silly things.
Buy one from the market if it is necessary. - Okay.
No. Bring the small one too, Malu. - Okay.
Did you hire anyone to carry it?
Did you think that I would carry it?
I don't have nephews like Appunni to do it for free.
Here. - Go on, Hajiyar.
What about the money? - Gosh, I forgot that!
Yeah, I thought so!
Give it to me.
Here. - Dear God!
Haven't you opened the shop, Appunni? - No.
Good.
Do it properly.
There is no need to do that. Don't make it tight.
It is only for two days.
Don't waste it.
Bring something to drink. - Hot water or cold water?
Tell her to make coffee. - Make two cups of coffee, Malu.
Make it three. One for Appunni. - I don't want it.
The wedding is tomorrow.
How can you be lazy?
Can't you see them working? Go and help them.
Go on.
Damn! What are you doing?
It is the site of an auspicious event.
You are spitting all over the place!
Appunni.
I have served lunch for you.
Oh!
Welcome. Come in, please.
Please be seated. Inside..
Go inside.
Come. Go inside..
When the guests arrive, should we give them tea or lime juice?
We shall give them tea. - Okay. - Yes.
Are you crying, Appunni?
Crying?
Eyes will be teary when you cut onions!
Mr. Ayyappan.. - What?
Come. - Come here. - No. Come here.
Come. - What is it? - Come.
Hey, Hajiyar, stay there. - What? - Stay there.
Come here, Ayyappan Nair.
Come here..
Mr. Menon is not in his room.
He must have gone to meet his friends.
After all, the wedding was hurried.
It's not that.
The matter is quite serious.
He has been missing since today morning.
His room is locked.
Velayudhan, from the match-stick company, told me
that someone came to meet him yesterday night.
What if something happened? - What could happen?
Many are jealous of him.
How can you be sure
that he'll be here for the wedding?
Oh, God!
We shall check it out.
What's the secret?
We've to go out, Hajiyar. - Okay..
What' is it, Karunakaran?
I'll be back in a moment. - Where to?
Well, Mr. Menon is missing. - What?
Hey. Let me check it out.
Take care of everything here.
Where did he go?
He went to buy some things.
He was here till I closed the factory yesterday night.
After that?
On my way back home, I saw someone going up.
And?
When I checked it this morning, the room was locked.
Mr. Menon was missing.
Did he say anything before you left?
He told me nothing.
Did you ask him anything? - No.
Do you remember who visited him at night?
Was it a man or a woman?
Speak up, Velayudhan. We don't have time.
How did the person look like? - What should I say?
Well, was the person fair or dark? - Speak up!
Is this an interrogation or what?
I don't know. Okay?
What are you staring at? Start working.
You better stay here. We will take care of it.
Come, Nair. We shall leave.
He is short-tempered, Mr. Hajiyar.
My foot!
Search this area, Karunakaran.
Come, Hajiyar. - Yes. - Search properly.
Go over the place with a fine-tooth comb.
Make it fast. - Okay.
Did you see Mr. Menon, Ms. Kadukutty?
What? - Oh, she's deaf.
Did you see Mr. Menon?
My daughter came last January.
It must be February! Move, you old hag.
She is a confused soul.
Yes!
He's not in here.
Well.. - What? - Oh, nothing. She too is deaf.
Chandramma.. - Yes?
Move. Come here.. Did you see Mr. Menon? - No. Why?
The wedding is today. - I caught you.
Kuttan Nair.. Did you see Mr. Menon?
Is he missing?
It's nothing, Kuttan Nair.
Come here, Nair. Don't tell everyone. It's a shame.
Hey..
Stop.
Did you see Mr. Menon? - On top of the tree?
Not on top of the tree!
Everyone is saying the same..
If you talk like this.. - Velayudhan..
Just a minute. - What is it? - Be calm. It's something else.
Should we come? - No..
Come here.. - What? - Velayudhan.
You should tell me the truth. Who came there? What happened?
What happened..
What happened here?
Why is everyone asking me? What did I do?
Go away.. Go away, I say.
Mr. Nair. - It's almost dusk, Mr. Hajiyar.
What's the use sitting here?
What else can I do? - Ayyappan Nair.
Did you find him? - Did you find him? - No.
Can you walk to Mr. Menon's house? - What's the use?
His mom might have locked him up.
Yes, you're right.
Let's get him as soon as possible.
But, Karunakaran.. - Yes?
...no one should know of this.
I won't tell anyone. - Then hurry up. - Okay.
Come, let's run.
Kesava.. Drop us there, quickly.
Make it fast.
Let me pour out the water. - Let it be. Go fast.
Please.
Don't rush. - Start rowing.
It's an emergency. Make it fast..
Go straight. - Take us across, fast.
Oh, God.. Goddess. - Straight. - Lord.
Fast..
What's up? - We have searched everywhere we could.
They have gone to the other shore.
There's not much time left.
I am worried.
What do you think? - I think that we won't find him.
What's it, Karunakaran? Where are the others?
Why should we keep it a secret?
What is it?
Huh? - Yes.
Oh, God!
Take her.
What..
It's nothing. Mr. Menon is missing.
We looked for him everywhere.
I think he has absconded.
Won't the wedding take place? - No. I think he has cheated us.
We looked at his house and everywhere else.
Ready everything.
Oh, God! What will I do now?
My dear..
My dear daughter..
My God!
Straighten it.
Hurry up, Nair.
Why did you come back?
I'm here to beg for my honour.
Have I taken it for lease? - Oh, it's not that. - Then?
Free your son. It's his wedding.
What the hell is wrong with you?
We shall sort out all our differences.
Please don't be adamant.
For God's sake, free your son.
There's no one here.
Please don't spoil my daughter's life.
You are the ones who tried to lure my son.
We shall discuss this later.
Give us the keys to Mr. Menon's room.
Mr. Menon! It's us, Ayyappan Nair and Hajiyar.
I haven't locked up anyone.
If he gets married against my will
I will disown him.
His place will be outside this compound.
I don't need to lock him up fearing you all.
So, he isn't here, Hajiyar!
Do I have to chase you out with a broom?
Leave the broom. We have it in our house.
Come on, Mr. Nair.
Where did he go!
Whatever!
What happened?
We couldn't find him anywhere.
We got insulted.
How? - Nothing special.
His mother threw us out.
You could've killed her!
How can you sit here like this?
It is better to die than to live on our knees.
Mrs. Malu, go inside.
Go inside, I say.
Please help us.
If this wedding is cancelled, I will end my life.
Do you think that Menon will come back? - No.
You want Ammu to get married on the time you fixed.
Isn't that what you want? - Yes.
Consider it done.
Appunni, I have something to tell you. - What is it?
Please come with me.
Gopalan, look after it. - Okay.
Please sit, Appunni. - Sit, dear. - Please sit.
Didn't you hear everything? - Yes.
What are you going to do? - What should I do?
Well, you are the groom.
And I am Mr. Menon's replacement, right?
What Ayyappan Nair did was awful.
When there was an eligible guy like you here
he went after a wealthier guy. That was cheap.
But in the end, God's will shall prevail.
God has decided to make Ammu your wife.
Can anyone change that?
I don't want to get married. - Okay, but who is Ammu to you?
Isn't she your cousin?
If her wedding is cancelled because of the groom's absence
that will be a shame for the family.
Who will prevent that now?
You should, Appunni. You have to save the family from humiliation.
Please sit. Let me tell you.
It's not Ayyappan Nair
but you, Appunni Nair, who is responsible for the family.
Let everyone contrast the both of you.
Dear, if you act foolish like your uncle
she will suffer.
Do you have the guts to abandon her?
Do you have it in you?
No matter what, it was always you whom she loved.
That is why God chose this destiny.
But she was in love with Menon.
That was just infatuation.
And the rest were gossips as well as your uncle's greediness.
From childhood onwards, she was destined to be yours.
You should have realised all these yourself.
Do whatever you want. Come, let's go.
Appunni, please save our family from humiliation.
Or else, please kill me.
Uncle, please don't cry.
Give me some Sambar.
Pass the Papad. - It's not Papad. It's buttermilk.
Serve carefully. Keep that aside.
Make sure that the buttermilk is salted.
Only then can we serve it.
Karunakaran.
Bye..
Bye. - Okay.
I'm leaving. See you later. - Okay.
The feast was delicious.
Credit goes to Ayyappan Nair.
You should've seen Ayyappan Nair's tension.
Now we know how courageous you are!
Where is Appunni? I haven't seen him after the wedding.
They are already inside the nuptial chamber. - Why so soon?
Everything has finished. Why should they wait?
Well done! - He must be scared of losing her again.
Now she belongs to him. So there's no need to worry.
True.
Who is coming at this hour? That too, with a lamp.
Who is it? - See, someone is coming.
Isn't that Mr. Menon?
Stop.. Where are you going? - Did my mother leave?
There is no mother or father here. Get out of here!
What is this, Ayyappan Nair? Are you insulting us?
We better not talk about being insulted.
Menon, before getting beaten up, you better leave.
Where were you, Menon? Everything is finished now.
What? - Yes. - Yes.
Appunni married Ammu. - Yes.
Oh, no!
What were we supposed to do when you were missing?
We wanted to save our faces. Appunni did it for us.
Don't you feel ashamed?
Where were you at the time of the ceremony?
I can explain. - How?
My mother had told me that she would commit suicide.
My mother always does what she says.
Can anyone bear the loss of one's own mother?
Menon then decided to stay away for a short time.
We hoped that it would help fool his mother.
But you should have informed us.
I feared that the news would reach my mother's ears.
That's why I didn't inform you.
You are unbelievable!
Do you think that your mother is more important than this marriage?
He is obedient to his mother.
We should try to understand his feelings.
Will you abandon your wife if your mother commands it?
Maybe he will do it.
Then he is not worthy of marriage.
Ayyappan Nair, you are lucky. Appunni is fearless.
You saved your daughter from great danger.
Even though we were late, was it appropriate
for her to marry someone else?
We wanted to save the family from humiliation.
Menon, didn't you have enough? I will not stay here any longer.
Let's go. Will you stay there until they kick you out?
Why don't you leave, Mr. Menon?
After all, it is Appunni, right? Can't you tell him to..
Do you want Appunni to divorce her?
You still want to marry her, don't you?
Didn't you hear this, Ayyappan Nair? - Yes.
Can you talk to Appunni? - Again?
I can't do that anymore. Nobleman, my foot!
Can you, Hajiyar?
Your wickedness amazes me!
I will try talking to Appunni. Menon, come with me.
Appunni..
Please open the door.
Please open the door, dear. - No, I will not.
I want to tell you something.
I don't want to hear anything. He is here, isn't he?
I heard everything.
Save our family's honour.
It's not too late. Let's talk. Please open the door.
A man should honour his words.
Ask him to leave!
'Appunni.'
