Standing at a corner, poor Abhi was looking around like a kid lost in a fair.

V: ABHI!! AEI ABHI!!!

He shouted from above to alert her but she did not hear.

V: Ivaloda...😤

He took the escalator down.

V: Inga enna'di pannittu irukke?

A: Huh...uh...enna vittutu enga poneenga?

V: Vittutu poganumnu dhan aasai anaa mudiyala...yean'di, en kaiya pidicchittu dhane vandhuttu irundhe neeyee...edhukku vitte?

A: Paavadai avizhndhu pora mathiri irundhadhu kattittu irundheyn adhukkulla neenga tholainju poitteenga...

V: Yedhu naanga tholainju poittom neenga rombha bathrama irundheenga appadithana....?

Vetri smacked his own forehead.

V: Ellaam en geragam...vandhu tholai!

A: Indha oodura padikattula poga theriyaadhu enakku...adha nippatta sollunga appodhan ennala yeri vara mudiyum...

V: Mmm...Aranganathan vaathiyaar kattina airport, naan sonnadhum nippattittu dhan maru vela parpanga...

A: Yaaru avaru?

V: Shyabaa...en kaiya pidi...!!!

He showed his arm and she held it. He led the way. Abhi was scared to put her leg on the first step.

A: Vazhukkudhu...bayama irukku....

V: Onnum aagadhu naandhan unna pidichittu irukkeyn'la...dhairyama vaa...valadhu kaal vai first'u...

She tried to place her right leg but quickly withdrew as it was moving fast for her.

A: Naan varale...

Her voice was shaky like she was going to cry. Vetri hooked his arm around her waist and pulled her towards him. Lifting her off the ground, he placed her on the step. She clung on to him and he too continued holding her waist. They locked eyes while the escalator took them up.

Even after reaching the top, they never left each other's gaze.

They parted when people started yelling at them for blocking their way

Vetri held her hand and took her. They boarded the flight and went to their seat. It was a two seater configuration. Pei's seat was behind theirs.

V: Ukkaaru...

Abhi spread out her skirt neatly to prepare herself to to sit on the floor.

V: Aei, inga illai un seat'ku po...!!

A: Naandhan sonneyn'la unga kooda sarisamama ukkara koodadhunu....

Vetri took a calming breath.

V: Nee ippo seat'la ukkarala...dho, anga paarthiya andha officer amma....
