AZHAGANE PART - 3

Sakthi and Kathir were going first, and the other two were coming behind.

Agathiyan was concentrating on the driving and our heroine was stealing glances of him through the mirror. She was sitting in one-sided position on the bike. So, she kept her hand on the supporter at the back of the bike.

Shivs mv: Enna pa aalu ivaru. Oru ponnu pinnadi okandhurka, kandukara nu parunga. No comments simply waste. Cheri ivaru dhan pesala, nambalavathu ivaru kitta pesuvom.

The ride was silent and again our heroine started a conversation. She poked his back and leaned a little front. He saw her through the side mirror and raised an eyebrow questioningly.

Shivs: En ipdi amaithiya varinga. Ethathu peslam la.

Agathiya: Enna pesrathu.

Shivs: Neenga ungala pathi sollunga.

Agathiya: School, college ellame inga Coimbatore la dhaan.

Ennaku en amma, appa apram en thangachi, ivangadhan ellam eh.

Shivs: Oh super super.

He was surprised for a minute for asking that question. But he composed himself and answered her.

Ag: Single ah irundha enna pannuva, committed ah irundha enna pannuva ?

Shivali: Ennakum onnum illa. Chumma dhan keten. Seri badhil sollunga.

Shivs: Hehe athu oru flow la.

After that they were talking about their likes and dislikes. As they were too involved in talking, he didnot notice the spead breaker. Due to this, Shivali moved a little front and holded his shoulder tightly for support.

Ag: Sorry ma. Athu speed breaker irunthuchu, naa gavinikala.

Shivs: Haan...athu...paravala.

After that the ride was quite. He was concentrating on driving.
She did not take her hand from his shoulder and was enjoying the breeze that hit her face due to the speed.

Shivs: Agathiya...agathiya.. vandiya stop pannungalen, stop pannunga.

Ag: Iru ma stop panren. (He stopped the bike at the road side.) En ma enna aachu. Edhuku stop panna solra.

Shivs: Anga parunga ice cream shop. Ennaku sapdanum pola irruku. Polam ah.

Ag: Idhuka enna stop panna sonna. Naa vera etho nu nenachi bayanthuten. (He glared at her).
