Seetha, a timid Brahmin Student, bravely confesses her love to Aayush Kumar, her stern yet secretly compassionate Professor, only to be harshly scolded for her audacity.
Heartbroken, she returns home and discover...
(No... just to explain everything to you, I traveled 5 hours and came to Srirangam. Now I'm heading back to Ooty. But madam, looks like you're having a blast at the function?)
I leaned back on my seat, a smile tugging at my lips as I crossed my arm beneath my chest.
"Aiyo naan nenachutte dha irundhen ungala. Train yereerpe'laa illayaa'nu. Aana call panna mudiyala. Seri sollungo, train yereete'laa? Seat kedachadhaa?"
(I was just thinking about you, wondering whether you boarded the train or not. But I couldn't call. So tell me, did you get on the train? Did you get a seat?)
She whined, piling up her questions one after another.
"Ticket book panni dhane ma poren?"
(I had already booked the ticket right?)
"Ohh appadiyaa seri seri"
She hurried through her words, and I realized she was speaking to me on the phone like a thief in her own house. I chuckled teasingly, mimicking her cute,
"Seri seri"
She also chuckled, and after a minute of silence filled with our breaths, I could hear the train sounds on my side and the chaotic noises of the function on hers.
"Inga andha ponnu paavam, rendu mani neramaa nikka vachu koldraa"
(Here, I feel sorry for this girl. They're literally making her stand for almost two hours)
She sounded worried and sympathetic, yet there was a hint of happiness in her tone.
