Actions and Reactions

Bhanu sleep got disturbed by noises around her. It was usually her mother's yelling that woke her up and since she was hearing a boy's voice, she thought it was a dream and snuggled further into her pillow. Someone nudged her arms and she woke up startled to notice Deeraj looking at her weirdly.

"Edhuku ipadi thuki potta mathiri ezhudirikara? Medhuva thana ezhupinean?"

"Nee thana ? Naan kuda pei Edho padathula kaatara mathiri thola thatitu, next blanket a uruvumnu nenachean "

"Adhana, Normala nee enga yosika pora? Seri ezhudhiru. We need to drop you at your place, then go give project for print out/binding before 8. Appo than inaiku afternoon kula you can submit", Deeraj said while he tried his luck waking Harsha up again.

"Amman, naan epo thunginean? Yepadi pillow, pothi elam iruku ?", she asked confused looking around and noticing her laying on the carpet on the bedroom near the bed. Harsha was still sleeping on the bed, while Deeraj already changed into his jeans from his sweatpants he had worn last night. She tried to recall what happened. She last remembered reviewing the final chapter with Dee while drinking their third coffee around 4am.

"Nee sonna pei than vandhu pothi vitu irukum. Kekara paaru kelvi. Ulagathulayey coffee kuduchutey thungara orey aalu neeya than irupa ", he muttered loud and moved away from Harsha giving up on waking him up as he was still mumbling "5 more minutes da" in his sleep.

"Kann irukum elorum thunga than seivanga. Edho alupil konjam asandhu irupean. Raja raja cholan kuda kudhiraiyil thuguvaram.

Thungivitenam. Adhai periya dhokamaga pesikirargal", she reluctantly woke up throwing the blanket onto the bed.

"Ivan matum inum thungaran? Ennai matum en ezhupina appo? Enaku Kanna pirika kuda mudiyala "

"Avan elam 8 mani varaikum ezhuparadhu kastam. Avan car key thedarean. So I can drop you, go home, shower and come back and pick him. Not sure where he kept it nu. Wait I'll go get Mullai's car key. Adhu kula freshen up and come", he said while picking the blanket she threw on bed and started folding it.

"Dho Mr.Perfect ippo pothi madikalanu lecture kuduka poran. Enga amma kita matum ivana katita kudadhu. Payana adopt panipanga", she muttered but seeing his expression she realized he had heard her.

"Bedsheet kuda madika theriyalana, thitta than seivanga", he said while he put her items into a neat pile on the bed.

"Adhu Elam theriyum. Thukakalakathula kuda idhai elam unna thavira yarum idha seiya matanga. Seri thunganiya nee?"

"Yah after you fell asleep, finished the review and slept an hour. Power Nap will help. Inaiku work elam mudichutu, will catch up on sleep"

Noticing the clock on the room, she yawned loudly "6 than agudha? 2 mani neram kuda thungala. Naan Elam napey 3 manneram edupean", she lamented

"Seri polambinadhu podhum. Go freshen up. You want another coffee ? I'll go find Mullai and ask her car keys"

"Venam. Veetuku poitu oru 2 hours thunganum", she yawned again .

"Amma Harsha car la than nee vandhiya?", she asked

"No I came in my bike "

"Ohh adhuleyey drop pannu appo. Ilana nee thirumba Inga varanumla car drop panna?", she asked

"Adhu correct than. But Nee irukara thukathula bike la vizhama okandu varuviya?", he asked doubtfully
