Flash Back:

Sivaangi enrolled in the same college as Ashwin. Just Sivaangi was with Raju and Rakshan, and they assisted her in moving into the college hostel. Sivaangi made friends with Menaga, who was already in the same room as her. They both complemented one other well.

Seniors in the hostel began ragging with the newcomers that same day at night. They began ragging while bullying other individuals.

Sivaangi and Menaga are hesitant to go there and are standing still, unsure of what to do. They heard two girls talking behind them.

Girl 1- "ennadi ipadi ellam panraanga?" (Why are they doing like this?)

Girl 2- "Pavam puthusa vantha pasanga, romba imsai panranga" (I feel bad for the fresh recruits. They create more problems.)

Girl 1- "ithu matum Ak anna ku therincha avlo thaan" (If AK learns about it, it will be over.)

Sivaangi made a quick plan and eyed Menaga. They slowly walked towards the girls.

Sivaangi -"Hi"

Girl 1 -"Hi"

Sivaangi- "inga food ellam nalla irukum nu AK sonane, epadi irukum?" (I would like to know how the food will be as AK said it will be good.)

Girl 2-"AK anna sonara? neenga yaaru?" (AK told? Who are you?)

Sivaangi- "naan AK voda lover. avan thaan intha college suggest panathu. Nan unna nalla pathupen join pannu nu sonaan. But inum enna vanthu pakave illa" , she said dramatically.

(AK is my lover. He exclusively recommended this university. He also assured me that I would be taken care of. He still hasn't met me, though.)

Menaga bit her lip to restrain her chuckle. Girls then started to quake.

Girl 2- "athellam nalla irukum. Konjam inga utkarunga itho varom"

(All will be well. I'll be right back, so just have a seat.)

Afterwards those two females informed the seniors that Sivaangi had joined the hostel and was AK's lover. The senior class panicked and stopped teasing the juniors. Each person was directed to their assigned rooms. After a short period of conversation with them, Sivaangi went back to her room.

In Sivaangi' s Room, Menaga and Sivaangi are laughing heavily. After sometime,

Menaga- "irunthalum ithu thappu di" (Anyhow, but this is wrong dear.)

Sivaangi- "naalu peruku nallathuna ethuvum thappila", she dramatically said. (If it's suitable for at least four people, anything is okay.)

At the same time some girls entered their room,

Sivaangi - "ulla vaanga " (Come in)

Girl 1- "neenga thaan AK anna voda lover ah?" (Are you AK's lover?)

Sivaangi- "hmm"

Girl 1- "anni nan banu, anna nala thaan nan ippo padikave seiyuren. ungaluku entha help venumnalum enna kelunga" (I am banu, sister-in-law. Because of AK brother, I am here. Please let us know if you require any assistance.)

Sivaangi - "anni ellam vendam neenga kandipa enna vida periavangala irupeenga, chumma per solliye koodunga"

(Just call me by my name; don't refer to me as your sister-in-law. I must be younger than you.)

Girl 2- "Chinna ponna irunthalum AK anna ku pudicha ponnu aache, athunala anni thaan"

(Even though you are younger, AK loves you. Hence, you are our sister-in-law.)

Girl 3- "Avanga ellam Final year students, ipadi thaan ragging panuvanga. nangalum intha varusham thane nu perusa kandukurathu illa, But intha time romba jasthi agiduchu."

(These are senior year students. Typically, they rag like this. As they are in their final year, we don't mind them. Nevertheless, it went too far this time. )

Girl 1- "complaint panna avnaga future spoil agidum athaan, pesama irukom. but inaiku avanga panathu rombave over thaan"

(Their future will be ruined if we complain to them. We kept silent mostly for that reason. They went too far today, too.)

Girl 2- "nanga complaint panalam nu irunthom, athukulla nee varavum avangale stop panitu poitanga"

(Before we could voice our displeasure, they halted..)

Sivaangi- "AK enaku itha pathi ellam romba sonathu illa" (AK didn't told me about it.)

Girl 3- "sonnathu illaya?" (Really?)

Sivaangi- "athu engala pathi than athigam pesuvom, athaan" (Usually, we simply discuss ourselves.)

Girl 1- "athu sari thaan, AK anna thaan Student leader. AK anna vum SK annavum senthu paathupanga."

(It happens. AK brother is the Student Leader. Both AK and SK brother will take care.)

Girl 2 - "SK anna morning college shift la padikuranga. AK anna evening college shift la padikuranga"

(SK attends morning college, while AK attends evening college.)

Girl 3- "Ithellam avangaluku theriatha enna? " (This will be known to her)

Sivaangi- "haan, athellam theirum" (Yeah I know.)

Girl 1- " AK anna, library la neraiah books kondu vanthanga, neraiah paper presentations, competitions ku guide panuvanga" 

(In addition to taking us to the competitions and paper presentations, AK brother also purchased numerous books for the library.)

Girl 2- "sports neraiah competitions SK anna kootitu povanga"

(SK brother will guide us in Sports competition.)

Girl 3- "inum neraiah panirukanga intha college la."

(They did a lot to this college)

After starting to praise AK and SK, they continued to do so for 30 minutes.

This made Sivaangi very tired. They left after that.

Sivaangi- "yaruya nee, enake una pakanum pola iruku" (Who are you man? I wish to see you.)

Menga- "nakkal panatha di. enaku enamo ivanga romba peria aalunga pola iruku"

(Do not mock. They seem like well-known figures to me.)

Sivaangi- "enakum konjam bayama thaan iruku, nalaiku paathu pesidalam" 

(I'm also nervous; we'll chat when we see them tomorrow.)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following morning, word quickly got around the college that Sivaangi was AK's lover. It reached SK as well. Sivaangi was astonished to learn that the story had spread when she started college. She started to feel anxious about what to do next.

Menaga- "poochu poochu ellarukum therinchu pochu, appo antha AK anna kum therinchirukum inneram"

(Oh God! AK brother must have known about this by now.)

Sivaangi- "baya muruthatha di, pathukalam" (Don't scare me. Lets see)

She received respect from everyone at the campus, which offered her a fresh perspective.

Menaga- "ore naal la peria aal agita di" (Within a day, you become famous.)

Sivaangi- "oru pakkam perumaiah irunthalum inoru pakkam bakku bakku nu iruku"

(I feel proud but at the same time I am scared too.)

Menaga- "neengallam yaaru, AK lover ache", she winked (Of course, you are AK's lover)

Sivaangi glared at her.

She walked in and settled herself in the class. Everyone began interacting with her after learning that she is AK's lover. Menaga laughed as she responded.

As a boy arrived at her class, he announced that SK had called Sivaangi. Sivaangi went behind with the boy despite the fact that she was terrified and didn't show it.

Sivaangi turned to face Sk. He is drinking coffee and seems extremely relaxed. His visage conveys both friendliness and naughtiness. His smile is quite endearing.

When SK finished drinking it, the boy left with the coffee cup.

SK- "vaa ma, apuram unga love ellam epadi poitu iruku" (Come, How's your love life going, then?)

Sivaangi- "anna athu vanthu" (Brother Actually...)

SK - "apuram epadi love panna start paneenga. Yaaru muthalla propose panathu.", he mocked 

(So how do you declare your love? who made the first proposal?)

Sivaangi - "actual ah nethu enna nadanthuchunna", she explained the things 

(Actually yesterday ...)

Sivaangi- "toilet ellam kaluva solranga, athoda dress ellam..." 

(They asked us to wash toilets and then they said ... our dress...)

SK- "hmm ithu samanthama nan action edukaren. Last year ethuvum nadakama pathukitom, intha thadava konjam miss agiduchu. sorry ma"

 (Hmm, I will take appropriate steps in this regard. Last year, we ensured that they wouldn't rag anyone. Nevertheless, this time we failed. Sorry again.)

Sivaangi- "its okay, anna But nan bayathula thaan ipadi soliten"

(It's all right, I lied out of fear.)

SK- "ithu thappu pa, naanga nra thala sariya pochu. vera yaravatha iruntha ithaye vachu advantage edutha enna panuva?"

(Dear, this is incorrect. It's fine with us. So what will you do if someone takes advantage of circumstances?)

Sivaangi looked down in guilt.

Sivaangi- "sorry anna, ippo enna panrathu?" (Sorry brother. What can I do now?)

SK quickly planned.

SK- "ippo poi ellarkitaium illainu sonna unake back fire agidum, athunala itha apadiye vitru. but AK ta pesidu, ella unmaium solidu"

(You risk having a bad reaction if you say this to anyone. Thus, leave it as is. Simply discuss this with AK.)

Sivaangi- "neengale sollidunga anna, enaku bayama iruku"

(You tell this to him. I am scared.)

SK- "enaku intha thoothu porathu pudikathu pa, athoda avan enna vida nallavan. thairiama pesu"

(Dear, I detest being a messenger. He is a far better person than I am. Just speak firmly to him.)

Sivaangi- "hmm, avar eppo varuvaru?", she asked hesitantly (When will he come? )

SK- "yen kooda vaa" (Come with me.)

To the library he took her. He was standing close to a locked box within the library.

SK- "Nanga inga than PG padichom. appo evening college la padikuravangaluku ethavathu problem na help panrathuku intha box vachirunthom. Intha red box la problems ah oru paper la eluthi poduvanga, Naanga blue box ah reply pani poduvom. ithoda key engakita thaan iruku"

(We only completed our PG at this college. We positioned these two boxes at the time to be aware of the issue with evening college students. They'll enter their problems in this red box after writing them down. We will respond to them in the blue box. They key is with us only)

Sivaangi- "appo ipo matum yen AK evening college la padikuraru"

(So why is AK currently attending an evening college?)

SK- "avan morning vela pakuraan pa. Avan fees ah avane pay panraan, athan. ippo enaku intha box theva padala, unaku thaan theva padum"

(He starts his day at work. He is responsible for paying his own education expenses. We stopped using this unit soon after. This could be beneficial to you, I believe.)

Sivaangi- "enaka?" (Me?)

SK- "amam, AK ku evening college late ah thaan start agum. so nee avana pakurathu kastam. Saturday or Sunday pakalam nalum avanku annaikum work iruku. unaku thaan pesa bayama iruke athanala, Ne enna ninaikurio atha intha red box la eluthi podu. unaku reply blue box la varum. intha athoda key ithu.". 

(Yes. You won't be able to meet AK because of his late arrival at the college. He has job, therefore you can't meet him on the weekends either. You should write him a letter instead and post it in this red box because you are also terrified to meet him. You'll receive a response from this blue box. The blue box's key is right here.)

The key, which he had taken off the shelf, was given to her.

Sivaangi- "nan eluthi potruken nu AK ku epadi theirum?" 

(How will AK be made aware that I posted a letter there?)

SK- "unaku letter vanthiruku nu nan avanuku solidaren. Mathathu ellam nee pesiko"

(I will inform him)

Sivaangi- "ungaluku yen mela kovam illaya anna?"

(Are you not angry at me?)

SK- "nee panathu thappu thaan but un pathugappukaga thaan paniruka, athanala thaan sari nu viduren. apuram ini intha mathiri ellam poi solli vilayadakoodathu sariya?"

(You made a mistake, but that was only for your own benefit. Hence, I am not mad at you. You shouldn't play like this going forward.)

Sivaangi- "kandippa anna" (Sure brother)

SK- "ama, nee AK va pathirukiah?" (Have you seen AK before?)

Sivaangi- "illa anna" (No brother.)

SK- "oh, pakamale kadhala" (Oh, Love without sight.)

Sivaangi- "anna", she whined.  

SK laughed out loud and said, "sari ma naan varen. ethavathu na enaku sollu" 

(Okay dear, I am leaving. If you need anything let me know.)

Sivaangi rejoined the class and told Menaga what was going on. They went to their hostel room after lunch because they didn't have any classes because it was their first day.

In the room, Sivaangi started to write a letter to AK. 

Sivaangi- "Respected AK"

Menaga- "nee enna leave letter ah eluthura? respected nu podra?"

(Writing a letter of leave? What makes you write respect?)

Sivaangi- "correct thaan",  She took another paper after crossing off the lines.

Sivaangi- "Dear AK"

Menaga- "ethey!!! ithu love letter mathiri iruku"

(WHAT!!! It looks like love letter. )

Sivaangi crossed the line once more and took another sheet.

Sivaangi- "onum vendam just 'Hello AK' nu podren"

(I will put just 'Hello AK')

Menaga- "athu konjam mariyathaye kodukatha mathiri iruku"

(This is not appearing to be respectful.)

Sivaangi- "appo Mr.AK nu podava?" (May I address my writing as MR. AK?)

Meenga- "cinema la villi koopdra mathiri iruku" (Sounds like villi conversation)

Sivaangi- "appo enna thaan di eluthurathu?" (So what can I put there?)

Menaga- "yosi" (Think)

Sivaangi- "haan, AK Senior nu podava?"  (What about AK Senior?)

Menaka- "hmm, better" 

Sivaangi- "Hello AK Senior, naan unga kadhali elutharen"

(Hello, Senior AK, Your lover is writing to you now.)

Menaka- "ethey!!! mudive panitiah?" (WHAT!!! you decided?)

Sivaangi- "nan intha rumors ah sonen di"

(No, I'm only bringing up the rumour.)

Menaga- "enaku apadi thonala" (It doesn't appear that way.)

Sivaangi crossed the line once more and took another sheet.

Menaga- "inum ethana paper ipadi waste aguthunu papom"

(Let's see how much paper is wasted in this manner.)

Sivaangi- "nee podi, enna romba confuse panra, Nane eluthikaren"

(You leave. You are confusing me. I will write by myself.)

A letter to AK was then written by Sivaangi after much thought. A letter from Sivaangi to AK.

Watch the following chapter to see what she wrote.
