Bhanu was inside her room laying on her stomach not wanting to wake up from her afternoon nap and watching netflix on her phone.
"Bhanu", her mothers voice came from outside her room .
"Vitatha pathutu paduthutu irukaradhu enna oru sugam. Vida matangaley!", she groaned.
She dragged herself outside before her mother starts yelling at her "Un friends vandhu irukanga paaru."
"Friendsa? Kathir na nera room ku vandhu irupaney,", she thought loud as she made her way outside the room. As soon as she noticed who it was, her eyes widened.
"Aadhya, Mounika, Mary? Nenga yepadi inga?", she asked confused.
"VIVA presentation celebration ku we came", Aadhya said and extended a box of sweet to Bhanu's mom
"Friendsa ulla kupida matiya? Enna than manners solli tharangalo college la", Bhanu's mother whined.
"Pesitu irunga. Sapida edavadhu eduthutu varean", Bhanu mom tried to go to the kitchen as soon as they placed themselves in the sofa.
"Onum venam aunty. Elarum inaiku celebrate panna dinner polamnu than ivala kupida vandhom", Aadhya commented.
"Nenga than Bhanu kuda final year project panrengala?", Bhanu's mother asked as she remembered Bhanu saying she was partnering with a boy.
"Illa aunty, enga Harsha than ava partner. All of us together than ipo velila porom", Mounika clarified.
"Ohh!! Madhavanga elam varalaya?", she asked suspiciously.
"Illa aunty. Avanga elam oru car la varuvanga. We will go in one", Aadhya replied.
Seeing the reluctance of Bhanu's mom "Boys, girls serthu than porom. Bayapada onum illa. Car la we will drop her back aunty. Romba late achuna, nanga elam Aadhu house la night stay panipom", Mary assured her
After a few moments of contemplation, she decided to let Bhanu go with them.
"Seri pathu poitu vanga", she reluctantly agreed.
As Bhanu entered the bedroom to change clothes, her mother followed inside "Pakka elarum periya edam mathiri irukanga. Ipadi elam friends irukunu nee sonadhu ilayey?"
"Amma!", she shrieked embarrassed. " Elarum romba nalavanga than. Sema jolly"
"Madhiyam thana velila sapitu veetuku vandhu. Thirumba enna?"
"Enakum theriyadhu. Ivanga vandhu sonna aparam than enakum theriyum"
"Unna nambara mathiri illey. Elam erkanamey plan panna mathiri irukey?"
"Believe me shalu ma. Im telling the truth", she pinched her throat between her two fingers.
"Seri seri. Indha vaati poitu va, idhan kadasiya irukanum. Puriyudha? "
"That's my amma. Samatha irupean. Don't worry", she pinched her mothers cheeks while she changed herself into a kurta .
"Nee samatha? Ulagam azhinja kuda adhuku vaipilla. "
"En mela nambikai illaya ma unaku?", she faked innocence with a puppy face earing a slap on her hand.
"Yepadi irukum? Kalaiyil shelf kula thuni elam thinichu vechutu, adikitenu solitu ponava thana nee?"
"Oh no. Raja thandiram anaithum venagi vitadhey", Bhanu shook her head in defect.
"Seri seri avanga wait panitu irukanga. Sikiram poitu, sikiram va"
