Pragi asked showing a dress, pressing it to her body. The girls came to have a walk by the night market near their place and decided to do some light shopping.
However, Tara's thoughts were not here. Upon not receiving any reply, Pragi glanced up to find Tara lost in her own thoughts, her own world.

Tara!
Pragi nudged Tara making her snap out of her trance,
Unna dhan kekuren! Nalla iruka?
Tara blinked recollecting what Pragi asked before she mindlessly nodded with a small smile.
Pragi frowned as Tara excused herself, saying that she was tired and will wait for Pragi to finish.
She walked away and sat on a stone bench that wasn't far away as she stared at the beach that now, was far from her. The waves were not touching her feet and she couldn't feel it's chill breeze reach her soul. Tara felt so cold and distant from the sandy scent though being so close to it.
Pragi came and sat beside her and wrapped an arm around Tara's shoulder,
Yenna Tara? Oru madhiriya irukae?
Tara mustered upon a smile,
Onnu illaye
Eyh, chumma reel vidha'dae. Yennachu? Sollu.
Pragi pushed but Tara denied again,
Sathiyama onnu illa pa
Appa amma'va miss panriya?
Pragi asked to which Tara sighed wearily slumping her shoulders,
Ada po, nee vera. Avungaluku na nyabagam irukena'nu koodha therla
It has been almost over a month since she left home and hasn't heard anything from her parents. She tried to contact them various times but they have completely shut her out of their lives. Tara could only get to know about their well-being through Pragi's parents.
