EN ANBAE PART - 1

One Fine Saturday,

Aadi was sleeping in his room after playing with his PS the whole night. He slept early in the morning.

Around 2 in the afternoon he woke up and did his chores. After the bath he changed his dress and moved to the living to watch a movie. When he was about to sit in the couch, he heard doorbell sound. So he went and opened the door to see his sweety standing there glaring at him.

He smiled widely and was about to hug her, but she stopped him.

Swastika: Wait wait wait.

Aadi: En ma enna aachu?

Swastika: Neenga epo enthirchinga? Saaptingala? Night epo thoonguninga? Phone panna eduka maatingala? Kaalaila message pannadhukum reply illa.

Aadi: Ma ma methuva. Konjam moochu vidu relax.

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath to calm herself. She opened her eyes to see him smiling sheepishly at her.

Swastika: Seri ipo naa ketadhuku badhil sollunga.

Aadi: Nee first ulla vandhu okaru. Va.

Swastika: Neenga badhil sollunga naa ulla varen.

Aadi: Psch ada va ma. [He put his arms around her shoulders, brought her inside and made her sit on the couch. He also sat beside her.]

Swastika: Sollunga. Epo enthurichinga?

Aadi: Adhu vandhu ipo oru 2 o clock ku.

Swastika: Epo thoonguninga?

Aadi: Ipo edhuku ma adhu. Vaa namba movie paakalam.

Swastika: Neenga ipo solringala illa naa kelambatum ah?

Aadi: Vendam vendam naa solren. Kaalaila 6 ku dhan thoongunen. Night full ah PS velayaditu irundhen. [He said this and looked down like a innocent child].

Swastika: Naa unga kitta ethana vaati ipdi late night veraikum muzhichitu game velayadathinga nu solradhu Aadi.

Seri adha vidunga. Saaptingala? [ He did not lift his face nor looked at her. So she kept her index finger on his chin and made him look at her]. Ungala dhan kekuren saaptingala?

He noded a no with a pout, kept his hands on his tummy and whispered 'romba pasikudhu'.

She chuckled at the man child sitting beside her and ruffled his hair.

Swastika: Seri vaanga. Inniku naa ungalku lunch prepare panren.

Aadi: Supereyy. Apo naa unnaku help panren. Maa nee saaptiya?

Swastika: Illa. Inniku unga kuda saapdalam nu irruken.

Both went inside the kitchen and started preparing the lunch.

Aadi: Enna lunch maa samaika porom?

Swastika: Namba rendu perukum mattum dhane, adhanala red sauce pasta panlam. Okay huh?

Aadi: Double okay.

Aadi took the necessary ingredients and kept it in the kitchen counter. He also sat on the kitchen slab folding his legs. He rested his right cheek on his palm and was sighting his girlfriend.

Swastika was too immersed in her cooking and after sometime she felt a stron gaze and turned to his side to see him sighting her. She blushed to his gaze and went near him.
