Quarantined together

Getting drunk

M- Apa enakum oru glass kudu..

Kathir looks up shocked. He stares at her for a moment  and then starts laughing. He pours himself another glass

K- Ey nee vera comedy panikitu. Nee velila po Kathava mooditu. Na kudichutu paduka poren. Una thontharavu pana maten.

She really was not sure why she asked for it. She just felt she too wanted to be a little reckless for now. It seemed to have loosened him up. Why shouldn't she be part of that atleast once in her life. She might never get this chance again in her life.

M- Na velayadala.. Enakum mood seri ila.. Kudu nejama than kekaren..

He looks at her unable to process what she is saying clearly. Is she joking? She wants a drink right now? Him drinking with her alone in the house itself sounded dangerous to him. Her getting high along with him, no it would be too much. He shakes his head.

K- Thapu thapu.  Nee lam kudika kudathu..

Mulla looks pissed off. She was not really sure what was making her act so rashly but she really wanted to try now. In college some of her friends had tried but she stayed away not really interested. Today however she is tempted, so sorely tempted maybe because she is hungry, upset and confused but she sits down grabs the glass from him and empties it in a single gulp. Kathir can only stare at her open mouthed in amazement. She is coughing and sputtering a second later. It tastes dreadful and not to mention the burn in her throat.

M making a disgusted face- Cha thu.. intha karumatha epidi thenamum kudikaranga. Sahikala..

K- Ey ena single gulp la muyuka kudichutu ipa nalla ila nu vera solra?? Ena velaydriya.. Ithuku munadi kudichirkiya nee??

M- Ila ila. Collegela sila ponnuga kudikartha pathurken. Apalam thonala ipa thonichu. Kudichuten.

She is still looking a little queasy and he cant help but feel a bad looking at her. He gives her the small packet of pickle he had hidden behind.

K- Ithu lesa thotu vaila nakoula vei taste maridum.

Mulla looks at him dubiously but does what he says. It really does change the taste a bit. The alcohol is hitting her really fast, as she drank for the first time one a empty stomach. She is feeling lightheaded and laughs

K- Ena sirikara..

M- Ila ena professional kudikaran mathri feel pana vechutiye.. Athan.. Seri inum konjam kudu.

K- Ipa thane sahikala nu sona.

M- Ama.. Ana inum ore oru vaati kulichukaren. Ithuku aparam vazhakaila kudikava poren. Kudu..

Somehow in the back of his mind he knows it's a terrible idea. She is already looking tipsy and he is not sure what some more of it might do.

K- Venam pothum. Niruthikalam. Nee kelambu poi ethavathu saptu padu. Ilana kalale thala valikim.

M- Ila kudu..please kathiru..

She looks at him so innocently pure even while drunk that he feels a tug in his heart. He pours a little out for her against his better judgement. She takes it and drinks a sip with the same disgusted expression. Then coughs, she does the same thing a second later.  He pulls the glass away from her.

K- Pothum vidu. Avlo kashta patu ethuku.. Venam na kuduthurkave kudathu..

M- Nee romba strict ah iruka. Po..

They both sit in silence for sometime. Kathir is sobering up now not fully but a little bit of sense hits him. She in the other hand is now very tipsy. She feels a free and a lot less confused now. Somwhow she is happy and sad at the same time. Looking at him she suddenly smiles wide

M- Thanks Kathiru..

K- Ethuku..

M- Elathukume.. Inga vanthathuku ena paathukitathuku.. Na pesartha ketu purijikitathuku, easya veetu vela seiyarthuku. Nee en kita avlo thanmaya nadathukita, na than epa paaru un kooda thevai ilama sanda podren.. Sorry.

She is swaying slightly but her words seems crystal clear. She is drunk but her words albeit a bit slurred seem to be clear. He is unexpectedly touched.

K- Athu seri vidu..

M- Ila .. Na iniki kalale etho kovathula thititen... Nee vera nethi na pathathuthu Asigama iruthuchu nu solita athan...

K interrupting her- Na epa apidi sonen..

M- Nee kalale asigma pathen nu sona.. Na pathurka kudathu.. ana.. nee sonathu.. kovam vanthurchu..

Kathir cannot remember what he said exactly but he knows he never said anything to offend her. Is she blabbering drunk? But it dint seem so. When did he that?.  Anyway he wants to make it clear to her that the fault was his yesterday.

K- Nethi na than thapa nadathukiten. Una kuthame sola mudiyathu. En thapu matum than. Sorry..

Mulla looks at him intently for a second then raises her hand and places it on his shoulders.. He is startled

K- Ey ena...

M seriously- Ila..Na ena ila..  una apidi pathathu thapu than. Nee sattai ilama avlo azhaga iruthiya na ena panuven.. taknu etho etho thonichu ..
