"Dey, loosa aaiteeyaa? I'm going to spend time with my family, da. You go and have fun!" Sivaangi shook her head and slapped her phone on her forehead in exasperation.

"Sivaangi, Sivaangi! Enna ivalo neram dress change pannittu irukke?"

Hearing her mother's voice, she quickly changed out of her tee into a hoodie and opened the door. Her mother looked at her from top to bottom in confusion.

"Yaen Sivaangi, intha shirt-eh podavaa nee muppathu nimishamaa roomle kathavai saathittu iruntheh? Mudi vera parattai maari irukku, face wash panniya illaiya? Enna alukku ponnu nee, Sivaangi. Ippadi vantheena nambale restaurant kulle vidamaataange paaru."

"Haiyoo. Fashion show-kaa porom? Saapda-thaaneh, ma. Naan vandile mudiyeh seri pannikkiraen. Vaa, polaam ma...Appaavum Sundarum wait pannittu irupaange."

Before her mother could say another word, Sivaangi grabbed her phone, pushed her mother out of the room, and ran towards her front door.

Vishal was in Pugazh's car on his way to the dinner party. He had read Sivaangi's message earlier and felt embarrassed that she sensed the difference in him. Loosunnu koopttuttaa! Unnakku thevaiya inthe asingam?

"Thamby, Sivaangi varale theriyuma? Paapaakku family-kooda dinner irukkaa. Naan avalukku message panni kaeten."

"Aamaa anneh. Naanum neraiya vaati koopten..." said Vishal disappointedly.

"Dey, thamby...Eppavumeh nambe appa, amma, family thaan mukkiyam. Intha maathiri dinner partykellaam pogalenaa koode paravale. Nambe artiste-ah irukkaruthunaale family-eh paakurathey kashtam.

"Aamaa na...aamaa." agreed Vishal.

"Nambe maapillai Ashwin varaan. Avane oru oramaa nikkavidaameh, nambe koodave vachikkanum, da. Illenna maapillai antha yaarpods ah? Athey pottuttu oru oramaa ethaavathu marathode maramaa ontripoiduvaan."

"Athu Airpods, na." Vishal flinched hearing Pugazh call Ashwin 'maapillai'. Another new thing for him.

"Intha Sivaangi ponnu ellaathaiyum solluraa aanaa Ashwin koode pesuriyaannu kaetta mattum ethavathu olaruvaa illeh kapchuppnu aayiraa. Show mudinji paapaave paakavey mudiyaruthille. Unnakku ethaavathu theriyuma da? Neethaan ava bestie aache."

"Ennakku therinja varaikkum avange nalla friends, na. Avlothaan."

"Oh, athuvum rhombe nalla vishayamthaan. Anthe showle rendu paerum nalla pazhagunaange, oru nalla understanding irunthuchi, da. Paapaakkum maapilai-na rhombe pudikkum.
