Kathir and Mullai just held hands and sat next to each other in complete silence. Mullai noticed him staring at her with an inexplicable emotion on his face. Once he averted his eyes back to the ground, she finally asked him "En ipadi pakara?"
"Theriyala. Romba sandhosama iruku. Idhu elam unmaiyaney puriyala"
"Eiii..Ippo edhuku ipadi emotionala elam pesara?"
"Appa ku aparam en life normala kuda irundhadhu illa. Nee vandha pirangu so many changes in my life", he said with a serene smile.
"Appa va romba miss panriya?", she asked. There were so many questions in her mind, but she couldn't decide if he would be ok with her asking him.
He gulped, his jaw ticking slowly "Mundi romba. Ippo elam so many responsibilities, so, perusa yosikaradhuku time illai. But appo appo avar irundhu irundha life vera mathiri irundhu irukumlanu thonum", he replied.
Thinking of how he and Nila didn't get to experience the love of father, made her sad.
"Nee Nila ku oru nala anna", she said smiling.
"hmm. Sometimes, overprotective nu kadupu aava but I can't help it", he smiled back.
His eyes shifted to her and for a moment their gaze locked with each other. His eyes had the ability to numb her mind and that's what he was doing right then.
"Ippo nee than ennai vidhiyasama pakara", he said, assessing her face in a calculative manner.
"Yepadi getha kovama irundha Kathira naan ipadi mathitenenu pakarean", she smirked proudly without letting him know what she felt for him right now and making him upset.
"Siri siri nala siri. Idhula Bhanu kuda sendhu comedy dialogue modulation vera", he commented, exhaling loudly.
She found him cute right now and felt like irking him more.
"Actually, she is something. Enga gang dynamicsey ava mathita. Yepadi un kuda elam irukalo..Pavam"
"Ava mathitala? Avala than romba mathi irukenga nenga elam sendhu. Adhuvum andha Harsha'va nenacha than bayama iruku"
"Aramichutiya? He is a harmless guy. Avalavu than. Told you lot of times. Ippo thevai ilama un protective hat pottu tension agadha"
"Irundhalum I don't like the way Harsha flirts with her. Crossing the line half the time. Interfere panna, matha friends kuda problem varumnu amadiya irukean.
Plus, ava Pakka than jollya ethaiyum madhikama suthara mathiri irukum, but sema head strong and thelivu on what she needs. Idhula elam mattika matanu nambi than, ava kita onum sollama irukean"
"En love panna enna? Nee matum love panalam, ava panna thappa?", She asked teasingly raising her eyebrows.
On hearing the word love, he turned his face to her, and his eyes lingered on her face, to a point where it became difficult to breathe under her observation.
"Avalukum enaku kedacha mathiri perfecta yaravadhu kedacha love panatum. Aana indha Harshava venam", he smiled and stood up.
"Nee culturals ku dress vanga ponumnu soniyey. Late achu. Kelambalama?", he mumbled before she could come in support of her friend. She rose up after him, tucking her hair behind her ears with a wide smile on her face.
"Neum variya? I'll introduce you as my boyfriend to my friends", she teased as they reached her car.
She noticed his blood drain from his face, and she started laughing at his horrified expressions.
