It was Past 10AM, she was fidgeting her phone which only ended up to a voice mail on call since 8.30. It was new about her boyfriend sorry lover to not return calls unless he is on shoot or phone drained, But the neither was the reason.
She could sense something bad, also felt she is the saviour of the situation. This thought is not new when it comes anything related to him, and a vague one to the rest of the world.
She tried calling him for one last time, but it was also ended up in vain. So she dialled his Pseudo Brother who is also the co-star of his debut film.
He attended the call one hand trying to pull his T-shirt from head to down .
“Sollu Papa enna call panniruka”
He asked concerned because its midnight according to his chota sister.
“Enga irukinga inika shoot iruka” Her worry is evident on her tone.
“Na oorku Kelambitu iruken papa, Anga en friend oda reception iniku En ennachu engayachu ponuma" He asked applying heat damage gel to his curly hair.
“Shoot illa la” She conformed.
“En unaku shoot illa nu theriayatha Mapla sollala” He knows his mappilai will recite everything that happens on shooting spot as the toddler to his mother.
She was aware of an outdoor shoot planned with 8 days’ permission was reduced to 4 days due to Prime Minister arrival near the spot for security reasons. So they shot day and night for the past 4 days.
“Sonnaru annee” She barely said.
“Ennadha ma achu En ipdi pesura” He asked her again.
“Illa annee nethu evening pesurnar adhoda ipo vara call ah edukala avaru, enaku romba bayama iruku annee” she said fighting her tears.
“Hey papa tired ah irundurupan , thugirupan iniku avanuku endha workum illa la so konjam neram thunguvana irukum idhukellama bayapaduva” He tried to put some ease by his words.
“Illa anne..evlo late ah vandhalu maximum 8 ku mela thunga mataru..Refresh agitu kooda apram thuguvaru..Kandipa call panniruparu enaku..Aana ipo Mani 10.15 aana innum call edukala” She sighed.
“Seri Na call panni pakuren avanuku ne iru” Knowing his machan an early riser always.
“Nan panniye edukala nenga panna matum edupara” She gave back.
“Illa enaku purila…Na phone panni kekuran en machan ah na mukkiyama ne mukkiayama nu” He told to make her smile succeeded getting a chuckle.
“Na dhan mukiyam nu solvaru” She said with rowdy attitude.
He tried to connect the conference call which also left unanswered to him which made him to think the reason behind the unusual Ashwin Kumar.
“Na dhan sonen la avaru eduka matraru edho problem, Inga vinayak illa appavum illa, Nenga enna Kooptu ponga anga pls anna..Pls..” She said on the verge of crying.
“Papa onnu irukathu, Ne dhan kozhapikura Innum konja nerathula koopduvan neye paru” He tried to console her.
“Apo nengalu enna kooptu poga matinga apdi dhane, Ok fine I will take Cab” She said sternly.
Knowing his Chota well and her stubbornity towards Ashwin related things, He offered her to drop on his home way to his hometown. She said her mom, who also finally failed consoling her instinct and gave up to her .
On the way to his home, she was keep on trying him went in vain. By now her mind started thinking all the worse reasons for his silence.
Taking lift, Duo stood before his door pressing calling bell not to barge his privacy with the spare key Pugazh had.
