Yenna dha theriyanum unaku?

( What do you want to know?)

Avi sighed in irritation, shooting Shakthi a pointed look as he, for the umpteenth time, pleaded and prodded.

Yen bro Ananya inniki varala? Neenga yen bro vandhinga? Enna yen bro kalailaye iluthutu vandinga, namba veetla irundhalachum avanga cheer up panna yedachum panirkalam? Adha vitutu inga utkandhurukom, vettiya

( Why didn't Ananya come today? And why did you come to work? Why did you drag me to work with you early in the morning? At least if we had stayed at home, we could've done something to cheer her up. But no, here we are just sitting around! )

Avi looked up at Shakthi with a raised brow, making 403 shrink slightly before he returned to his endless pile of work. With his father gone, he had taken over everything-chairman, CEO, all of it-leaving him buried under responsibilities. But clearly, Shakthi didn't find any of that important.

Avi sighed after a while and finally explained.

Enaku nejamave neraya vela iruku adhunala dhan na vandhen, Ananya rest pannatumnu avala veetla iruka sonnen, unna vitutu vandha nee chumma iruka matae adhunala unnayum iluthutu vandhu. Plus nee free'ya jolly'ya irundha-

( I really have a lot of work, that's why I came. I wanted Ananya to rest and asked her not to come. As for you, you wouldn't sit idle if I left you behind, so I dragged you along too. Plus, if you were free and having fun- )

Irundha?

( Having fun? )

Enaku pudikadhu, adhukagavum dhan

( I wouldn't like that, and that's another reason! )

Shakthi shot Avi a deadpan look as he watched him divert his attention back to work. But then, something Avi had said clicked in his head. Without hesitation, he rolled his chair closer and asked, his curiosity piqued.

Bro, appo neenga palaya madhiri pesa arambichitingala? Neenga pesunapo avanga yepdhi react pannanga?

( Bro, does that mean you both have started talking, like you used to? How did she react when you told her this? )

Avi glanced sideways at Shakthi, who was practically vibrating with anticipation. Clearing his throat uncomfortably, Avi shook his head,

Na avakita sollala

( I didn't tell her )

Shakthi quizzically cocked his head,

Ippo dhane bro sonnen'nu sonninga?

( But you just said you did?)

Na sonnen dhan, ana Ananya kitta solala

( I did tell someone, but it wasn't Ananya )

Avi muttered hesitantly, his gaze shifting nervously, his usual composure slightly rattled.

Pinna?!

( Then?!)

Namba Home manager kitta solli, solla sonnen

( I told our home manager to inform them. )

403's expression mirrored pure betrayal, like a tragic hero in a slow-motion downfall. With a dramatic gasp, he clutched his heart, staring at Avi in sheer disbelief, while Avi, avoiding his gaze, subtly braced himself for the incoming lecture.
