A: Unga ishtam....

Vetri stopped infront of a cafe. They went inside. It was a well known spot where youngsters would hang out. Each table had couples or gang of friends who were either school goers or college goers. Abhi and Vetri were the odd ones there. He found a cosy spot and took her there.

They sat down on the chairs facing each other. Abhi flipped the menu card.

A: Enna sapidreenga? 

V: Nee enna virumbi saapduviyo adhaiye enakkum sollu....

The waiter approached them. Abhi placed their order.

A: Two cold coffee and two choco fantasy....

The waiter went. Hesitant to start a convo, both stole glances at each other.
Abhi looked around. She felt out of place.

A: Ellaarum rombha chinna pasangala irukkanga naama dhan odd couple inga...nammala mathiri married couples pora edathukku koottittu poyirukkalame....

Vetri smiled.
