Tara came back to see the trio laughing and Adi was blushing as well

Her mom saw her

"Ai Tara veeda suthi kaami naanga sapda ethachum ready panren"

Adi asked "Rendu peruma cook panuveenga"

"Athavathu enakum cooking olunga varathu, ivarukum varathu. Athaan sernthu panuvom. At least oru average aavathu irukum la" she said

"Ipo puritha na en foodie aanen nu. Veliya saptu saptu palagiruchu" Tara whispered as she dragged him away

She showed all the places and finally took him to her balcony

They sat there in silence. Tara went near and laid her head on his shoulder

"Adi. This is special for me. En nu kelunga"

"En special?"

"Na inga daily vanthu feel panuven. Neraiya lonely nights. Neraiya tears. Ennoda fears pathi inga thaan yosipen. Intha balcony ennoda happiness ah paathathe ila. But today, you are here with me. Etho oru black and white place colourful aana mathiri iruku"

Adi too laid his head on hers

"Apo en kooda iruntha black and white colour maariduma"

"Ama"

"Vera enna panum"

"Pattamboochi parakum. Siripu varum, vekkam varum, athu oru mathiri jolly ah irukum"

"Adengappa. Apo inime intha balcony ku vantha itha pathi yosi"

He said and pinched her cheeks. He then wrapped his arm around her tightly.

She was blushing like hell in his arms. He bent down and saw that.

"Ithuke ivlo vekkama"

He wanted to tease her so he gave her a flying kiss

"Adiiii stop it"

She was very red.

...

Adi got down first

"Tara enga pa"

"Phone pesa poita ma"

"Kooptu va, saapadu ready"

"Sithara" he called out and was about to go up

"Nee avala Tara nu koopda maatiya"

"Ila ma. Enaku Sithara ngra name romba pudikum. Azhaga iruku. Athaan apde kupudren"

Her parents looked at each other with awe

"En apdi paakureenga" Adi asked innocently

Her mom pinched his cheeks

"Avala naanga Tara nu mattum thaan kupduvom. Chinna vayasula sanda poduva en peru Sithara en atha solli kupda maatengireenga nu. Apro friends uhm apde kupta nala palagita"

Adi smiled

"You are perfect for her Adi. Therinjo theriyamalo you're making her wishes come true, even the small ones. God bless you both" her father wished them whole heartedly

....

For the first time,
Adi had a happy lunch with his family.
His Amma, his Appa and his Sithara.
It was perfect.
