Soon Rakesh woke up too. He smiled at Tara and called Aditi.
He knew she would be waiting for his call.
"Chellammm"
"Call panna vera time eh kedaikalaya? Ipo thaan ella set up ahyum check panitu relax aagalam nu irunthen"
"Enna di kathura, na thoongi enthricha odane first word eh un kita thaan sonen theriyuma. Enna poi thollai panren nu solriye"
"Aiyooo sorry inga ellarum jodi ah suthuranga keshh, enaku kadupu aavuthu. Unna romba miss panren. Seekiram vanthu thola"
Rakesh chuckled and looked at the road they were in. His smile widened
"Innum 20 mins thaan! Seekiram vanthiruven. Athu varaikum miss me more"
Tara was checking her messages and she turned towards him
"Anneyyyy olaratha. Innum 2 hours aagum namma porathuku"
Rakesh looked at Adi in fright.
Aditi heard Tara's voice
"Hey hey, na romba miss panren athaan poi sonen nu sollidu. Nambiduva"
He was about to say that but Adi interrupted him
"Vidu da solidalam"
Varun and Rakesh jerked in shock. What the hell was he thinking?
"Dei dei summa iru da" Varun tried to stop him
"Ila machan solidren"
Tara was confused on what's going on
"Enna nadakuthu inga"
"Maaa na oru surprise arrange panen. Appa amma, apro namma friends laam dinner kaaga oru restaurant ku vara soliten. Nammalum ipo anga thaan porom. Solama irukalam nu paathen but Rakesh thaan olaritan"
.....
As if the radio was hearing their minds, it played
"Pona usuru vanthiruchu"
Varun and Rakesh finally took a breath. Aditi relaxed.
Thank god he didn't talk about the proposal.
It took them a while to convince him before. He kept saying
"Ava kita kekanume if she's okay with this nu. Huge life decision da. I want her to be a part of it too. Na mattum edutha mathri iruka koodathu"
Aditi was the one to knock some sense into him
"Ithu varaikum ethana vaati da kalyana pechu vanthirukum? Have you ever found her being uninterested or uncomfortable. Ungala kara sekurathukulla enga fuel gaali aaidum pola"
And then after much contemplation, Adi agreed.
.....
Tara was very happy to hear that he arranged a dinner with all of them. But there was a thought in the back of her mind. Adi never reveals his surprises easily. He will tell 10000 lies to cover it up but he never says it early.
Adi understood her line of thoughts. He silently thanked god for giving his girl an expressive face, if you know her well you can easily tell what's on her mind.
He wanted to divert her.
"Anga food semmaya irukum ma. Outdoor restaurant vera. Italian cuisine. Mexican kooda keta tharuvanga"
Tara smiled widely. Now her mind traveled back to food. She started to plan her order.
Adi smirked. Mission success.
