Rahul waited happily in the restaurant for Thenmozhi to come. He couldn't sleep last from excitement. It was unbelievable that Thenmozhi messaged him to meet up this morning. In eager to meet her, Rahul ended up coming so early that even the restaurant wasn't open yet.
Finally, just a minute after 8, Thenmozhi walked in. Within seconds she found him and sat across from Rahul.
Thenmozhi- Hi. Vanthathu no problem thaanae? (Hi. No issues in coming right?)
Rahul- Aiyo not at all. Actually unga kitta neraya pesanum. Sweet surprise ithu. (Not at all. Actually I have a lot to talk with you. This is a sweet surprise.)
Thenmozhi- Oh.
Rahul noticed that Thenmozhi looked somewhat tired and dull.
Rahul- Enna romba tired ah irukinga? (You look so tired?)
Thenmozhi- Oru special assignment kaaga day night ah vela senjen. Athan tired. (I was working day and night for a special assignment. That's why tired.)
Rahul- Vela mudinjatha? (Done with it?)
Thenmozhi- Not yet.
Rahul- Athu seekram mudiyum. Don't worry. Venumna coffee order pannalaama? Tired lam poidum... Ok. Bro! Two filter coffee please! Thanks! (You will be done fast. Don't worry. Let's order coffee. All the tiredness will go... Ok. Bro! Two filter coffee please! Thanks!)
After ordering, both stay silent. Thenmozhi takes her phone fiddles around with it while Rahul just watches her with a smile.
The silence is broken by the waiter who brings the coffee. Thenmozhi puts her phone down and speaks up.
Thenmozhi- Etho pesanum sonninga. Sollunga. (You said you had to say something. Tell me.)
Rahul- Night aachuna thookam vara matainguthu. Kannu mooduna, irutta irukku. Kannu thorandu paatha mela fan oditu iruku. Elunchu poi theruvula paatha yaarume illa. Verum velakku mattum aninchu aninchu irundhutu iruku. Thoorathula verum oru naai mattum kolachutu irukku. It's very strange.
(Sarvam dialogue- I don't get sleepy at night. It's dark if I close my eyes. When I open my eyes, the fan is above spinning. If I get up and go look at the street, there is no one. There's only a flickering light. In the distance, only a dog is barking. It's very strange.)
