Brewing affection

Mullai tried hard to focus on the plate in front of her and not look at Kathir.

"Did I make you uncomfortable?", Kathir asked after few minutes.

"Cha Cha. Apadi elam illa. Tea kudichadhu actually its nice. Thanks",she said, and they went back being silent again.

Once they got over the awkwardness,the conversation just flowed. They lapsed into a comfortable conversation. This was first time; they have spoken so much without fighting. Mullai learnt a lot about Kathir that she didn't know before.Like he hated chocolate, has never watched any web series in Netflix even though both Nila and Bhanu were addicted to it, knows to swim very well and many more.

Meanwhile on the other side of the building, Bhanu and Harsha along with few others were listening to a guy lecture about printed circuit board assembly.

"Eii gavanikama avar moonja edhuku ipadi uthu pathutu iruka?", Harsha nudged Bhanu on her elbow lightly.

"Nama enna velaiya seiya porom. Chumma pakka porom. Irukatum.Adhuvum namaku endha samandhamum illa", she replied and continue to look at the guy who was explaining them. Harsha chuckled lightly at her antics. Anyone who looked at her would have thought she was very attentive to what that guy was explaining.

"Kathir nethu thitinana?", he asked as the group started to spreadout.

"Nethu night escape ayitean. Mullai than matina pola. Naan thungara varairoomkey varala.

Morning thitinan . Avana samalikaradhu elam jujubi.

Andha kanju pota kaaki sattai Anubuselvan IPS unna edavadhu sonana?", Bhanu asked worriedly.

"Dee was sema upset. He kept saying I acted very irresponsible. Morning kuda en kita seriya pesala"

"Andha vellaiswamy pesama enga poga poran. Pathukalam va."

"Ethana paata peru veppa avanuku", he chortled but immediately his face fell "Usually, avan ipadi iruka matan. Kova patalum, next minute he will be with us. This time, he was really pissed, I guess. En kita seriyakuda pesala"

She looked around and noticed the guy had stopped explaining and the students walked around. Taking this chance, Bhanu pulled Harsha out of the unit.

"Elathukum oru solution iruku. Va poi sapidalam. Canteen enga irukanu pakalam"

They soon found Mary and Pricillia too. As they walked inside the canteen, they found Kathir and Mullai eating and chatting. They immediately stopped talking when they noticed them walking towards the table.

Enna indha Mulla moonja nambala pathadum marudhu?, Bhanu thought.

As soon as they placed themselves, Bhanu picked a samosa from Kathir's plate

"Nala iruka da? Illa sumar thana?"

"Nala than iruku. Naan already onnu saputean. Here", he passed the rest of his plate towards her, but she noticed Kathir avoided looking at Harsha.

"Sorry Kathir. Nethu we didn't plan it. 5 mins drive panitu, we will come back nu nenachom. Poorapo Dee ku call panalamnu phone patha apo than realized, my battery was dead nu. Didn't mean to scare anyone. ", Harsha apologized,and Kathir stared at him without saying anything.

"I take the blame. I shouldn't have acted that irresponsible. I'll more careful next time", Harsha added.

Kathir looked at him for few seconds and felt his apology genuine.

"Its ok. Ivalum than irresponsiblea phone a room la vitutu poita. You don't have to take the entire blame on you", Kathir said and Harsha lips broke into a big smile.
