Shakti suddenly remembers that Tara had made the raspberry cake alone. Usually, they bake together, but this time, she had made only one piece by herself. He smirks and smiles at her, understanding the special reason behind her decision.
Shakti : (smiling) Ahaaaaannnn. Ipo puriyudhu......
Tara : Enna puridhu sollu....
Shakti : You're trying to impress the police officer with your baking skills.
Tara : Just because I made a cake for him doesn't mean I'm trying to impress him.
Tara rolls her eyes but can't help the smile creeping onto her face.
Shakti : Come on Tara. You're blushing. You can't fool me. It's obvious you like him. Nee avarukagaha thaniya cake senju, flavour la change pannirka ipo theriyadha maari nadikura. Deep down you are giddy.
Tara crosses her arms, feigning annoyance, but her playful grin betrays her.
Tara : Oruthavangaluku senju kudukuromae adhu nalla irukanum adhanala dhaan.
Shakti: Tara, this is the first cake you've made solely for him. You should embrace your feelings.
Shakti raised his eyebrows and looked at her.
Tara : Okay, maybe he's nice, and maybe I enjoy his company... but that doesn't mean that i have feelings for him.
Shakti : Oh really? So you just happened to change the flavor of the cake because he liked it and it should be on some special occasion la.
Tara opens her mouth to respond but then closes it, realizing he has a point. She fiddles with her apron, looking slightly embarrassed.
Tara: Fine Maybe I wanted to make something special for him... but it's just cake, Shakti.
Shakti leans closer, a teasing glint in his eyes.
Shakti: Just cake? Tara, it's a huge deal. You're cooking with your heart. You care about how he feels.
Tara's cheeks flush, and she looks away, fiddling with her apron.
Tara: I guess... I just don't know how to feel about it. It's new, and I don't want to make things complicated.
Shakti nods, understanding her hesitation but unable to resist pushing her a little more.
Shakti: Then at least you'll know, right? But judging by how he looked at you today, I think Adi anna also interested. Besides, he seems like a good guy. Look at how he cares for you.
Tara: "Really? You think so?"
Shakti nods vigorously.
Shakti : Aiyo Tara......Nee veetuku bathrama po nu number la kudutharae adhu kudava purila.
Tara : Maybe.....oruvela......adhu.....
Shakti : Ipdi type adikuradha niruthu. Nane soldren avaruku unmela affection iruku. Illana avar en apdi seiya poraru. Edavudhu problem na police number kudukalamae en avaroda personal number kudutharu.
Tara smiles, her heart fluttering at the thought, but quickly shakes her head.
Tara : You're just saying that to make me feel better.
Shakti: No, I'm serious Just be yourself. If you keep hiding your feelings, you might miss out on something wonderful."
Tara lets out a soft laugh, shaking her head.
