Quarantined together

The answer

K- Yaaru Rajesh??

Mulla looks up from her plate startled at that question. Did she hear him right? He had just asked about Rajesh right

M- Ena ?? Ena.. peru sona nee??

K- Rajesh..

M- Antha peru?? Unaku epidi...

K- Nee than sona antha pera iniki thukathula. Yaaru nu kekanum nu thonichu. Sola vendam na vidu..

Mulla is dumbfounded. The fact that she said his name in her sleep is shocking. And kathir heard it.. how humiliating. He was curious of course he was. Now she has to admit it to him. She doesnt want to lie and she did trust him. Anyway he would know soon enough if they were going to be staying together for the next few days anyway..

M- Athu.. Ava en friend.. Hmm

K hating himself for even asking this question- Friend matum ah???

M- Apidi ila.. Avana friend nu matum sola mudiyathu. Ana..

Kathir is silent hanging on to her every word. She pauses and thinks for a moment

M- Epidi solrathu.. Enaku avana 2 varushama theriyum. Nalla friend. Neraya care eduthupan.. propose panan. Enaku othakanum nu thonala. Nala payan tha ana.. Na no sonathala seriya padikama.. collegku seriya varama romba mosama aitan.. kashtama iruthuchu. Enala thane.. enakaga ena vena seivan.. Aparam yosichu Nanum ok soliten rendu masam munadi tha... Seri padipu mudijathum veetla pesaren nu sonen..

K- Hmm..

M- Mathiyam avan kita phone la sanda poten atha nee Kathava thatinapo... kovama.. Avan possessive type. Nama inga serthu irukartha sonathum kovam vanthurchu..

Kathir looks a little irritated. She notices his reaction and hurries to assure him

M- avanuku nee epidi nu theriyathu ila. Atha bayapadran. Thapa neikatha.. Na apdi neikala.

He chooses not to comment. If he was honest with himself the guy rajesh sounds like a douchebag. But it is better to keep his mouth shut than to tell it out loud. It was mullas choice who she likes. He has no say in the matter. Actually this was better for him. His silly little attraction this morning is baseless. Now that he knows she has someone else on her mind, his thoughts would not wander again.

About that guy being suspicious of him it did not matter. As long as she trusts him that should be enough. He doesnt care what some random stupid guy thinks of him. He finishes his food and gets up and takes her plate too without a word. As he is cleaning the plates

M- Yaarkitayum sola mata ila..

K- Etha pathi??

M- Rajesh pathi than. Appa kita neram varumbothu na than solanum. Vera yaarkiterthum intha vishyatha avaru keka kudathu.. Solamataila..

K shaking his head- Na en solidaporen.  Vela ila enaku?

They sit in the hall for a few minutes in an awkward silence. Mulla decides to start talking to him normally hoping he would respond in kind.

M- Nalaiku nee konjam kaai vangitu vanthuru. Na samaikaren. Evlo naal bread pazham paal nu sapdrathu..

K- Athelam venam.. Un Kaal ipidi irukara po ethuku.. Hotel ethavathu paathu vangikalam. Parcel kudupanga..

M- Na samaikaren. Rendu peruku thane porumaya senjukalam. Neeyum help panu.. epidiyum veetla suma thane iruka porom.. poyuthu ponum ila..

K- Seri ipa thungu kalale nee epidi iruka nu paathutu aparama mudivu panalam.

He gets up ready to go to bed. Even though he slept in the afternoon he still felt exhausted and his head is pounding.

M- Kathriu.. Thank you.. elathukum.. nee ilana..

Kathir just nods and goes in.
