After the lunch break the meeting again resumed, various companies had put forth there opinion and ideas. Now it was time to know who bagged the deal.

Emcee : It was not an easy choice to select who would win the deal but nevertheless the best idea deserves it. Undoubtedly its MAV Group of Companies who have bagged the deal this time .

The entire crowd had already expected that Varun would win this deal. Sanjana was genuinely happy that Shreya's company had won but down her heart she felt a bit disappointed that they did not win , inspite of so many efforts put in by her.

Sanjana bid bye to her office team and went to Shreya. She immediately engulfed Shreya in a bone crushing hug.

Sanjana : I'm so happy teriuma , u won more than that I m happy to see that victory smile on Varun Sir.

Shreya : Thanks d Sanju , it's not only my  effort , the credit goes to entire team.

Sanjana : Correct Shrey! She smiled

Shreya : Seri Sanju I know u love seeing other people happy and u also enjoy in their happiness but na un friend nee enkita edhayum maraika mudiyadhu ! She rolled her eyes

Sanjana :Hey Shrey apdi lam illa d. She did not make an eye contact

Shreya : Nee ennakaga happy ah iruka but deep down I know u r little disheartened that nee ivalavu effort potum u couldn't make it . See Sanju , I know u r even more capable than this , idhuku lam worry pannadha

Sanjana : Yaru Sonna na worry panrenu , Ama konjam vartham dhan but indha deal illa na vera deal , simple as that.

Shreya : Seri Va onna ve polam namma veetuku

Sanjana : Hann okay d Na un kuda scooty la vandhururen.

Shreya : Iru d Varun sir kita sollitu vandhururen .

Shreya went to speak with Varun , while here Sanjana was taking glimpses of Varun , who was busily engrossed in a conversation with Shreya.

Sanjana MV : Semma Smart ah irukaru  Ivaru , kandippa I need to speak to him one day or the other.

Shreya returned back and both started heading towards there home from the meeting venue.

**********

All the cousins were at there room. It's a habit that after they finish there dinner , the cousins gather at the room and share about how there day went

Aadi : D Sanju , Nanga ellam enga day eppudi pochu nu sollitu irukom , Ne endha ulagathula iruka?

There was no response from Sanjana.
Amritha shook Sanjana's shoulder, making her come back to reality .

Vikram : Sanju enna da yoschutu irundha?

Sanjana : Ayoo onnum illa Anna innaiku meeting ah pathi Dan yoshcutu irundhen .

Aditi : Ama seri Sanju un meeting enna achu ? Eppudi pochu ?

Adhukalam talent venum , chinna vaysula ivalavu achieve pannirukaru , He is great. That is why they won the deal,  but ennaku konjam vartham , na effort poten but win pannala nu.
She told it so casually, leaving the entire cousins in shock

Sanjana : Hey na ippa enna sonnenu neenga ennaya ippudi shock la pakuringa ? She rolled her eyes.

Aadi : Do you realise Sanju , Ne oru payan pathi ippudi pesi nanga pathade illa.

Sanjana : Hey over ah pannadhinga , Na yen Varun pathi ippudi sonnena , I always wanted to be someone like that in my career but innaiku na avara patha modhu I wanted to become someone like him in future.

Sanjana : Ada Anna neenga vera , I Admire him for the way he is adhuvum illa ma na poi first sight la flat avena ?

Amritha : Adhu nadandha dhana adisiyam !

The entire cousins continued there banter.
When a phone call disturbed them.

Amritha : Sanju akka unga phone dhan edhunga

Sanjana took the phone and her lips curved into a smile.

Sanjana : Madam Enna indha neram kupturukinga?

Shreya : Yen friend na eppa venalum kupdulam , unkita lam permission vanga mudiyadhu.

Shreya : Double Okay Sanju , Nalliku 5 kula ready ah iru , I ll come and pick you up.

Sanjana: Haaan Seri Shrey , vandhuru. Na amma appa ku inform panniruren.

**********

Shreya reached Sanjana's home and picked her up and reached the venue.

Sanjana was excited to meet Varun , She thought this would be a perfect chance to interact with him , but to her disappointment  she did not find him around.

Shreya : Yara d nee teditu iruka?

Sanjana : Shrey na lam yarayum tedala , Va namma anga polam. She said diverting Shreya from asking further more questions

Shreya introduced her friends and colleagues to Sanjana and they all welcomed her with a warm party.

Sanjana was busy talking to Shreya when she saw everyone's eyes travelling to the entrance.

There he was Varun , for the very first time not in Formal suit , but in casuals. He looked Charming. Sanjana could feel everyone's gaze towards him .

Varun : Hello Everyone , Indha party ungalukaga , because ungalala unga work nala we could crack the deal. So make ur self comfortable and enjoy . He told with a warm smile.

After which the party began and everyone started enjoying the party , some where on the dance floor as well .

"Sir engaloda vandhu dance aduringala " few people told in chorus to Varun .

Varun : Ilaa, I m comfortable here. I m better left like this.

Varun started feeling uncomfortable  in the party. Since he doesn't socialise much with people . Parties are something which he could never comprehend about . So He made his way out to get a piece of Fresh air .

All this time Sanjana was noticing him and started feeling curious to know the reason behind is isolation

Sanjana Mv : ivaru enna lusu ah? Ivaru dhana party arrange pannaru , Nyayama he should host , ivunga ellam poi kuptum ivaru yen vara matenu sonnaru?

" Hey enna achu sir varalaya dance floor ku ?"

"Adhu dhan Avaru Dance floor ku vandha inga coimbatore la nalla mazhai eh varum !"

"Idhu varaikum avaru namma kita mingle ayrukara ? Ippa apdiye kupta matum avaru vandhuruvaru !"

"Sir Romba dhan introvert yarukudayum socialise agala na poga poga romba kashtam dhan!"

" Ennaku ivara kalynam panna pora ponnu  nenacha dhan pavama iruku !"

Few employees spoke amongst themselves which was heard by Sanjana and Shreya who were besides them.

Sanjana : Shrey enna d , ippudi sollranga ?
Enaku terinju u all are assuming him wrong .

Shreya : Neeye pathala , party ku vandhu oru 15 minutes he was with us apram he walked of. Apram eppudi Sanju matavanga poi pesuvanga.

Sanjana : Shrey he might have felt uncomfortable!

Shreya : Sanju ippa paru avunga ellam kuptanga la dance ada did he go ! Ippudi irundha eppudi d people will interact with him . Obviously they ll find him boring dhan .

Sanjana : Ennaku adhula nambika illa , see inga yarum introvert extrovert kedaidhu , namma eppudi avungala feel panna vaikuromo apdi dhan they ll behave with us.

Shreya :Ayoo Nee ennaku class edhukadha ma podhum !Na pavam .

Sanjana : Seri iru Na poi Avara kutitu varen , ellarum inga iruka modhu taniya anga enna pannuvaru .

Shreya sighed in disbelief,  she knew how Sanjana gets things done the way she wants , at the same time she knows Her boss would not react to any efforts taken
Sanjana went out and witnessed Varun standing near the lake and was star gazing.

Sanjana went towards him and tapped his shoulders Hesitantly.

Varun turned and stood there in confusion wondering who is the person who looked more like a minion standing in front of him .
He raised his eyebrows .

Sanjana : Ennaku terium neenga enna yosikuringa nu , Yaru da iva ? Ennaku iva yaru nu kuda teriadhu yen enkita pesa vandha nu dhana yosikuringa?

Varun was taken back wondering how did this unknown girl read his mind.

Varun : Ayo Apdi lam illa ma , Sollunga edhavudhu prachanaya?

Sanjana Face palmed herself.

Sanjana : En prachana irundha dhan oru teriadha ponnu pesuma? I m Sanjana Kumar , unga competitor Company Mahadev Group of Companies la work panren , My best friend Shreya is working in this company.

Varun : Oh Hi Ms.Sanjana ! Neenga eppudi inga?

Sanjana : Neenga dhana Party host panringa , neenga dhan unga employees avunga friends and families ah kutitu attend pannalam nu sonninga. So Shreya ennaya kutitu vandhuta.

Varun : Oh apdiya ! Make ur self comfortable and feel free.

Sanjana : Na unga kita yen pesa vandhena , I was at the meeting yesterday for the deal that you cracked . I must say neenga superb ah present panninga unga idea va.

Varun : Thanks Ma but ennaya tappa nenachukada I don't remember  seeing you there.

Sanjana : Ayo idhula enna iruku , tappa nenaika . Seri ingaye taniya irukinga , anga vandhu ellarukudayum pesalama la.

Varun : Illa ennaku interest illa neenga ponga !

Sanjana : Adhu eppudi neenga dhana host , neengale veliya vandha nalla irukadhu , vanga Mr.Varun .

Varun : Illa ma you can carry on I m fine like this.

Sanjana was trying to persuade him to get him back  the party but all her efforts went in vain . She sighed and returned back to the Venue.

But all this time , A pair of eyes was watching the conversation between Sanjana and Varun and followed Sanjana back.

Sanjana Mv : Ayoo Na evalavu kenjuna , convince anara paru , kaal nenja kara ! .
Ivaru ku adikadi mula back vangum pola iruku!

Shreya could make out from Sanjana's Face that the mission for which she went did not succeed.

Shreya : Hey Sir enga d , Pinnadi Varara?
She asked controlling her laugh.

Sanjana: Adiye avaru lam varala d , na evalavu sonnen teriuma , hmm hmm avaru kekave illa ! Na pesunadhu avaru kaduku vilunducha nu kuda teriala , Avaru patu andha stars ah pathu sight aduchutu irundharu. She said twisting her lips.

Now Shreya couldn't control her laughter and started laughing holding her stomach

Sanjana : Aiii , Nalla siri d , enna patha eppudi teriudhu unnaku.

Shreya : Na dhan sonnen la avaru kita pesi avara kutitu vararudhu lam chance eh illa !

Sanjana : Hey nan avalavu pesunen d Anna ellathukum one word illa one sentence la reply panraru ! There is no difference between him and chiti robot , Ayooo ! Enna pa aalu ivaru ... kashtam kashtam ...romba kashtam .... She whined.

Just then she noticed Shreya's face showing  mixed emotion and since she was facing Shreya she couldn't see who was standing behind her !

***********
