One Shots

Theera Payanam - Shot 3

Jeeva and Suja sat on the cot glaring at their friend who was almost buried in the laptop. 

Suja: enna da Ivan ivalo naal kalichu vanthu irukom.. ennanu kuda kekama apdi enna tha Da athula pathutu irukan…

Jeeva: yaruku theriyum.. en kita matum solita panran…

Jeeva huffed and looked around into the large room that had been turned into a press editors room in the six months they did not visit there.

Jeeva and Suja were Siva and other two genuine friends like Aari. Aari was his friend right from school days but Jeeva and Suja were his friends from college. After Siva and Aari joined in college these two who were already friends from school easily became a gang of four. 

After Aari's loss, these two were a great support for Siva and helped him overcome and diverted him towards photography.  

Jeeva and Suja left for Dubai for official work for the company three run together before eight months and were in contact with Siva through mobile. After a couple of months they left for Dubai they noticed a change in Siva's behavior. Whenever they tried to contact him except for professionals he cut the call immediately saying he was busy. They got to know about him being on travel more than usual and even when he was at home he was busy surfing something on the internet through Siva's mother. 

They were confused with his behavior until they decided to return back to check on him when Saradha sent them the picture on the desk with baggy eyes when a travel website was open on his laptop.

And when they reached his home Saradha informed them he was in his room and when they left for his room they once again found him buried in his laptop.

When they announced their arrival, they only received a formal welcome before jumping into his surf.

Jeeva who had enough before he huffed and walked to him.

Jeeva: dei Siva… he just got humm as response… dei Siva.. Inga paru..

Siva: apdiya solu.. enaku kekum…

Jeeva had an unbelievable look and frowned at Aarthi who shrugged back. Jeeva had enough and shut Siva's laptop earning a whine from him.

Siva: Lusu ah da nee… ethuku da close pana..

Jeeva: pinna.. enna nanga vanthu oru mani neram aachu… etho vendatha sontha Karan veetuku vantha nadathara mari nadathukura…

Siva: dei Vela irunthuchu da..

Jeeva: dei etho travel website thena pathutu iruntha.. odana velai gara..

Siva: dei vena.. en velaya atha..

Jeeva: oh ama illa… seri vidu.. Ena tha Vela irunthalum.. ipadiya…

Siva: Ila da athu..

Jeeva: dei nee konja naal va seri illa solitan… phone pana seriya va pesa matingara.. mothala vida athigam ah travel panraiya… veetula iruka konja naal kuda.. epa paru room intha laptop ah vecha adanju kedakaraiya.. enna da nadakuthu..

Siva sighed unable to answer his questions while Jeeva kept nudging him.

Suja: yaru da antha ponnu..

Suja who was silent all the time silent spoke confusing Jeeva and shocking Siva.

They turned to find Suja near the wall which was almost covered with a lot of sticky notes and a jacket was placed on the table in front of the wall.

Jeeva: enna di olara?

Suna: nan olarala… ipa Avan olaruvan paaru..

Jeeva frowned and looked at Siva who was with an thiruttu muli
