Aakash : Ama da , pavam help pannalam.

The duo then started walking towards the girls who were standing confused .

Varun : Enna achu Shreya?

Shreya : Sir vandi puncture ayruchu , na Sanju va veetla vera drop pannanum.

Sanjana : Nanga near by cabs lam search pannom , edhuvume kedaikala.

Varun : Seri Nanga unngala veetla drop panniruvom .

Shreya : Ayo Sir , venam paravala we will manage!

Varun : Illa neenga evalavu neram ippudiye nika poringa?

Akash : Unga veetla tedhuvanga la , romba yosikama vanga we will drop u girls home .

Sanjana and Shreya agreed since they did not have any other option to get back home.

***********
Varun was driving the car while Akash took the front seat and the girls were in the back seat.

Varun and Akash were deeply engrossed in the business talks making Sanjana wide her eyes.

Sanjana whispered to Shreya : Enna d ivunga , friends lam ippudi dhan business pathi matum dhan pesuvangala !

Shreya : Adiye summa iru , avunga ketanga na avalavudhan.

After a while there was pin drop silence in the car making Sanjana lose her patience.

Sanjana : Yen ivalavu silent ah iruku , yarachum edhavudhu pesalame . Enna lam oru silent atmosphere  la iruka ve mudiyadhu, ellarum pesite pona time poradhh teriadhu la.

Akash smiled to her childishness

Akash: Yen nee ye edachun pesu ,nanga ellam kekurom.

All this while Varun was driving carefully

Shreya : Ai Sanju , venam summa iru

Varun : Paravala Shreya , avunga edhavudhu pesatum. He said leaving Akash in a shock.

Sanjana : Seri apa na onnu kekuren adhuku answer pannunga !

Shreya : Arambuchitya , seri kelu we have no other choice. She sighed

Sanjana : Lemon vandhu boy ah girl ah ?

Varun : Hey lemon ku eppa ma gender la irundhuruku . He asked seriously

Sanjana : Neenga romba lam yosikadhinga , idhu oru riddle mari

Shreya : Boy Di enna men iruku la !

Sanjana : Boy dhan Anna nee sonna meaning illa , lemon ah squeeze panna Sar sar nu dhana varum adhu nala it's a boy

Akash : Sanju idhulam mokka joke and started laughing out loud.

Shreya : Ayo Sir idhu iva ippudi lam illa  andha Prakash kuda sendhu ivalum ippudi mekka joke podura

Sanjana : Seri nee pesunadhu podhum na adhutu edhavudhu sollava ?

Shreya : Ayoo Sanju please ennaku kadula irundhu ratham vandhurum , please please venam

Varun : Ada irunga Shreya , avunga sollatum.

Akash MV: Enna oru medical miracle , all thanks to vaishu aka namma sanju.

Sanjana : Seri na oru comedy sollava Varun?

Varun : Sollu ma

Sanjana remained silent

Varun : ada sollu ma ketutu dhan iruken

Sanjana : Silent Comedy

Varun had a confused look seeing which Akash and Shreya bursted out laughing.

Varun : Apdi na ?

Sanjana : Ayoo enna pa aal ivaru , Silent comedy ayooo .... puriyalaya?

That's when he understood the joke and mentally face palmed his forehead.

Akash : Dei idhu lam too much seria

Sanjana : 90 s kid na ippudi dhan irupanga pola , ellam late ah dhan puriyum pola iruku , She started giggling.

Shreya : Adiye indha mari panna unnaya kola poren , first  prakash ah sollanum unaya ippudi akkunadhe avan dhan

Sanjana : Avana thitala na unnaku thukam varadhe , nanga rendu peru dhan human beings neenga ellam dha alien ! She said twisting her lips .

Shreya shook her head in disbelief  and stopped since she knew Sanjana will not remain silent.

Sanjana : Seri na innonu sollren , oru payan exam elluda ponna , ana avan elluda la apdiye thirupi vandhutan yen?

Akash and Shreya together told in chorus: Yen ?

Sanjana : Varun neenga sollunga yen?

Varun : Terialaye , neenga sollunga yen?

Sanjana : Yenna adhu written exam . Saying so she started laughing leaving Varun again confused.

Varun : Ma puriyala ma

Sanjana : Ada enna pa aalu neenga ! Kashtam romba kashtam.

Later on she had to explain the meaning and that's when it dawned to Varun.

Varun : Ma idhu lam romba palaya joke

Sanjana : Palaya joke na neenga palaya aalu dhana . She said earning a glare from Varun.

Sanjana : Enna dhan neenga palaya aala ah irundhalum , pudu allunga ku ungala pudikume . She said smiling sheepishly

A Smile crept on Varun's face making him smile wholeheartedly.

Akash Mv : There is some magic with u Sanjana . This is the second time I m seeing him smile whole heartedly because of you.  Ne avalava perusa onnum pannala , nee neeya iruka and u make people happy around just like that .

Sanjana continued keeping the car drive lively with her lame jokes and the trio laughing out loud.

Soon Varun dropped Sanjana and Shreya in there home and reached his house along with Akash.

************

Sanjana stepped into her home shivering in cold. When she lifted her head , she saw her mom and dad giving her a death glare and her cousins trying to suppress their laughter imagining what will happen next.

Kumar : Sanjana ! He told in a stern voice

Sanjana : Pochu innaiku death confirm, She wishpered to herself which was heard by the cousins making them laugh even more.

Viji glowered at the cousins making them gulp due to her anger.

Viji : Evalavu time solliruken Sanju , mazhai la velladhada nu.

Sanjana : Amma , adhu en mela fault illa nature mela dhan fault , nana mazhai ah vara sonnen!

Viji : Innum chinna kozhandha mariye iru , pora veetla ippudi irundha enga la dhan thituvanga . She rolled her eyes.

Kumar : Sanjana , this is the last time eppa mazhai la velandhutu vandhalum unnaku cold puduchurum adhuku dhana sollra ollunga nanga sollra pecha kelu ma.

Sanjana : Seri appa , inimel pannala ! Kova padadhinga please , She said with a pout making Viji and kumar forget there anger.

The cousins knew that she ll convince them with her antics as always and she ll repeat the same thing , because she is never going to give up playing and drenching in rain no matter what.

Viji : ippudiye nikkama poi kulchutu va , ollunga tazhai ah dry pannitu va !

Sanjana nodded and went straight up to her room to refresh herself.

Varun reached his room and texted Vaishu and soon slept off .

Sanjana returned back from washroom and she saw a notification displaying on her phone.

Aadi : Phone notification vandhuruku yaru ?

Sanjana : Vera yaru Varun dhan.

Vikram : oh oh enna sonnaru ?

The cousins then surrounded her and sat eagerly all of them started reading the mail along with Sanjana.

Hello Vaishu !

And before u think I dried my head completely , ennaku cold pudikadhu but u make sure u don't catch up cold or fever.

- Yours Varun

Reading this Sanjana'a eyes was completely brimming with Happiness she could not express the joy , for the first time other than her father and her brothers a guy had made sure she is fine and took care of her like how the men in her life did.

Vikram noticed Sanjana's eyes displaying different emotion than usual.

Aadi : adiye enna d ippudi happy ya iruka ?

Sanjana : ama da for the very first time Varun ivalavu periya message reply pannirukaru ! Sandosha padama

Amritha : Ayo ungala pakka modhu semma happy ya iruku but avaru ungala lusu nu sollitaru akka , She said giggling.

Aditi : Ama d unna mariya oru ponnu mazhai la velandhutu patharu nu sonnare !

Sanjana : Ada eruma , andha ponnu nan dhan !

She said leaving the cousins in aghast.
She then explained about her visit to Shreyas office and the happenings after that and what surprised them was Varun dropping her home .

Vikram Mv : Ennaku terinju this is not going in the direction of friendship,  I feel this relationship will be more than that . Nan nenaikuradhu correct nu confirm panna idhu panna dhan correct ah irukum.

Vikram : Sanjana namma la bet vachu romba naal achu la ?

Sanjana : Ama Anna , romba naal achu

Vikram :Seri why not we have a bet this time today ?

Sanjana : Enna bet ? She asked surprisingly.

Aadi , Amritha and Aditi  whispered an idea to Vikram and Vikram nodded saying he ll give that as a bet .

Vikram : Seri ne vara vara romba phone use panra la ! 24 hours starting from now nee phone ah use panna ve kuddadhu okay va ! Un phone Amru kita kuduturu ippa!

Sanjana : enna velladuringala ? Adhulam mudiyadhu , pavam na Varun ku message pannanum la .

Sanjana : Apdiya , apa okay done ! But na bet la win panna enna kedaikum?

Aadi : Unnaka  , simple chocolates vangi tandha podhum !

Sanjana : Adhu lam illa ennaku 500 taranum , suppose na win pannala na 500 na taren okay va ?

Vikram : Double Okay,  the time starts now.
Ippa un phone ah amru kita switch off panitu ta .

Sanjana gave her phone with heavy heart , because she was wondering how she ll stay with out her phone. But Sanjana being Sanjana did not want to lose the bet .

**************

It was a Sunday , Varun woke up a little late than the usual time . After he did his morning chores he opened his email , but what surprised him was that he did not receive any email from vaishu .

Varun Mv : Might be Sunday la late ah endirupa pola ! Wait pannuvom , she ll definitely  reply.

Varun then went down spent sometime with subbu thata and madhu and reached back to his room and again kept refreshing his email feed to check if she had messaged.

Varun : Enna idhu mani 12.30 axhu innuma thunguva ,illaye . Ayoo netu mazhai la velandhadhu nala edachum cold or fever vandhurukumo ? Na sonnnen ollunga pathuko nu ! Ippa ennaku email I'd tavara oru detail um teriadhe. I hope she is fine. He thought to himself.

On the other hand Sanjana badly wanted to text Varun but she did want to lose the bet easily. So she kept herself engaged to dicer her thoughts.

Varun started being restless , he was Continuously worried if she was okay and felt helpless. For the first time he missed getting mail from her.

That's when Madhu screamt making him come out of his thoughts.

Madhu : Dei Varun! Varun! Keela va

Varun went downstairs to see his entire family dressed up.

Varun : Ellarum enga poringa ?

Madhu : Illa da kovil ku poitu varalam nu romba naal achu nu porom , eppudiyum nee kupta vara poradhu illa nanga poitu varom.

Subbu : Ama Varun , Nanga poitu seekran vandhuruvom , Ne inga veetla iru.

Varun : Seri okay thata , Akash dei pathu car ah drive pannu ,pathu poitu seekrama vanga.

The trio nodded and bid bye to Varun.

Varun tried all the ways to be distracted from thinking why vaishu did not mail but he miserably failed. He then began sending her emails to check if she ll respond.

That's when his door bell rang.

Varun : Yara irukum, ippa dhana ivunga ellam kelambunanga adhukula yaru vandhurupa ? He thought to himself.

When he opened the door he was engulfed in a bone crushing hug by the duo.

Varun : Enna oru surprise! Ashok , Karthik eppudi neenga inga?

Ashok : Machan , nangalum indha oorula dhan irukom

Karthik : En da nee uyiroda dhan irukiya illaya nu check panradhuku dhan vandhom.

Varun : Dei konjam work la busy ayten da !
Seri ippudiya veliya nika poringala ,ulla vanga.

Saying so the trio entered the home and sat in the couch.

Karthik : Enga da veetla ellarum enga kannom?

Varun : Machan , ellarum kovil poirukanga da .

Ashok : Dei vara vara vazhkai edha noki pogudhu nu teriala , kadupa iruku !

Varun : Enga irundhu  vara vara ? He asked casually making the duo stay in shock.

Karthik : Dei ne enga Varun dhan ,counter joke lam adikura ?

Varun : Dei nanum manushan dhan robot illa . He said with a smirk.

Ashok : Adhu seri , ana edho seri illaye . Un behaviour la naraya changes iruku machan .

Varun : Apdi oru vengayamum illa , Irunga na poi juice edhutu varen.

Saying so he returned back with the juices and served them but deep down his heart he was eagerly waiting for message from Vaishu.

After serving them , the trio continued there banter and Varun in-between kept checking his phone to see if he has recieved any notification from Vaishu , which was noticed by Ashok and Karthik.

Karthik : Dei unnaku mukiyamana  vishayam pesanum dhan nanum avanum vandhom veetuku.

Varun : Sollu da enna vishayam?

Karthik : Ada ne Ashok kita kelu .

Varun looked confused and found Ashok blushing

Varun : Dei korangu,  ne enna venalum pannu vekkam matum padadha.

Ashok : Dei ennaku Kalynam fix ayruchu da , Engagement ku invite pannalam nu dhan vandhen.

Varun : Ennadhu unnaku Kalynama idhy eppa da mudivu panna ?

Karthick : Dei arrange marriage lam illa love marriage dhan da.

Varun : Ennadhu love marriage ah ! Dei enkita edhuvume sollala .

Ashok : Machan adhuku nee touch la irukanum seria ! Ama da love marriage dhan ,veetla easy ah othukutanga , so prachana illa.

On mentioning love marriage , Varun again checked his phone to know if he had received any messages and again sent a mail to Vaishu.

Ashok : Na inga important ah pesitu iruken , nee enna da mobile la ye iruka.

Varun : Adulan onnum illa , Seri nee sollu eppudi nee avungala patha !

Karthik Mv : enna Ivan love pathi lam kekura,  idhu avan department kedaiadhe , edho onnu seri illaye.

Ashok then tells him the story of he met his fiance and how they fell in love , and Varun had a grin through out while listening.

Varun : Unnaku eppudi terinjudhu idhu love nu ?

Ashok : Dei nee lam oru morattu single evalavu ponnumga college la propose pannanva edhayum kanduka mata , ippa edhuku ivalavu eager ah kekura !

Varun : Dei nee pecha matama eppudi unnaku idhu love nu tonnuchu nu sollu !

Ashok : Dei love is basically when there is no expectations , when there is no expectations u ll be able to be  happy in the relationship.  Basically ava enkita edhuvum expect pannala all she did was making me happy when she was around adhu podhum to realise that I have fallen for her.

Hearing Ashoks statement regarding love Varun was deeply engrossed in his thoughts . He then went down the memory lane and then wondered how Vaishu messaged him without any expectations and made him happy with just spreading her vibes and ideas.

Varun was brought back to reality with Karthik and Ashoks question.

Karthik and Ashok together asked : Yaru da andha ponnu ?

*************
