Vikram and Aadi are the only ones who knows how to drive a car, So Vikram started driving and others got into the passenger seats!

Meanwhile Sanjana's phone started ringing ! The caller I'd displayed "Viji Amma". She immediately picked it.

Viji ( Sanjana & Aadi's Mom) : Sanju, enna ore call la pick pannita , adisayama iruku ?

Sanjana: Amma kalailaye arambikadha , Ama thata pathi nee,appa,raji periamma , ramesh periappa , velu chitappa, kala chitti lam Salem reach aytingala?

Viji: Ama sanju , innum konja nerathula reach ayruvom, neenga ellam enduchutingala illaya nu terinjuka dhan kupten.

Sanjana : adhulam enduchu nanga morning breakfast eh muduchutom , nee ippa kelu !!, she said smiling sheepishly

Viji : enna oru acharyam ! Seri Neenga ellam enjoy panrenu solli dhanam akka ku naraya vella vachuradinga seria !! Nanga vandhuruvom

The phone was on speaker and all the cousins were hearing the duo's conversation. Immediately aditi took the phone

Aditi : Chiti , adhulam nanga badhurama irupom ! Neenga ellarum konja porumai ah ve vanga ! Endha family disturbance illama konja nimadiya nanga irupom, she said giggling

Aadi : Amma ,seri ma nanga olunga irukom, nee un lecture ah armabikadha , kadhula irundhu ratham vandhurum !! He said in a pleading tone.

The cousin gang ended up laughing hearing his statement .

Viji : Dei , nee apram varuva la amma pocket money ta , arrear vanduruchu appa kita solladha nu , apa vachukuren unnaya ..
Ama enna ore satham ah iruku , enna panringa?

The cousin gang jerked for a minute

Swathii : illa chitti , inga TV la paatu ketukutu irukom , adhu dhan ungaluku ippudi kekudhu ! She said casually so as to not create a doubt about there whereabouts .

Viji : Swathi thango nee matavanga ellarayum pathuko , na phone ah veikuren .

As soon as they cut the call ,all of them sighed heavily !

Amritha : just miss !swati akka matum edhavudhu reason sollala ,kandippa chitti ku doubt vandurukom , namma avalavu dhan gali ayrupom !

Aadi : Seri Seri ada vidunga , adhan kandupudikala la apram enna , inimel only enjoyment dhan kavala pada venam ..

Again phone started ringing , this time it was Swathi's phone . The caller I'd displayed
"Vijay ❤" and she started blushing .

Sanjana: ippudiye vekka patutu irundigana , phone cut ayrum, phone edhu Mama dhana

She attended the call and the entire cousin gang started teasing her

Swathi : Hey summa irunga ellarum , she said with her cheeks being red.

Amritha : "Vijay mama , unga kita irundhu call vandhale, enga akka ippudi vekka paduranga , apdi enna senjinga enga akka va " She screamt near the phone

Swathi : Amru , summa iru. Nee vera innum tease pannnadha .
There was complete silence in the car

Swathi : Hello Vijay, sollunga

Vijay: Hello Swathi!, kelambitingala ?

Swathi: Haan kelambitom Vijay!

Vijay: Madam, romba busy pola oru call kuda pannala ?

Swathi: Ayoo, apdi lam illa Vijay , ennaku thambi tangachi nu perula pisasungala irukula avunga ennala ellupa mudiyala , ellarayum ellupi oruvaliya kelambitom , so adhunala dhan kupudula ,

"Oh oh" all the cousins told together in chorus making the young budding couple blush

Vijay : Seri seri , pathu badhrama poitu vanga seria and kekanum nu irundha ooty la enga poringa ?

That's when it dawned to Swathi that they haven't thought about the place that they would visit.

Swathi: Vijay , nan ungala thirupi call panren , seria?

She cut the call in a haste and asked

Swathi : Dei namma ooty porom seri , but ooty la enga porom namma adha decide eh pannalaye , she said in a worried tone

Hearing this Vikram stopped the car in middle of the road and later on realised the car is in middle of the road and parked it aside near a tree .

Aditi : Adada , ivalavu plan panni kadaisila edhu mukiyamo adha pathi yosika ve illa ! She told tensed

Amritha : Yaru sonna yosikala nu , Enkita ooty la irukura best places ah visit panradhukana brochure iruku .

Sanjana : idhu dhan amru the gk nu nanga unnaya kupduradhuku Ana karnam, she told with a wide smile

Aadi: Parah! Ithunudhu size brain kula , indha mari idea lam varuma ? He asked

Amritha : Seri ennaya romba pugaladhinga , ennaku ore shy agadhula ...

Na engayo paduchuruken , anga different kinds of flowers namma pakkalam, we can touch them, naraya information about different plants terinjukalam infact namma anga irundhu oru flower ah edhutu vandhu we can grow it in our home , namma balcony la ? Idho inga parunga bonsai flowers la irukum she said pointing to the brochure .

When Amritha completed expressing her desire of going to Botanical Garden , she saw all her cousins already glowering at her , she gulped seeing there reaction .

Aadi : Adiye trip ku vandalum padipu pathi matum dhan yosipiya , nama inga information terinjuka vandhoma illa enjoy panna vandhoma?

Aditi : Amru , nee venum na taniya poitu vayen ! Nanga ellam enjoy pannitu varom unnaya vitutu seriya ! She said hiding her smile , and earning a glare from amru

Amritha : ponga , na kedacha time ah productive ah use pannalanu nenachen at the same time enjoy kuda pannalam... kaludaingalu ku teriuma karupura vasana.
She told with twisting her lips

Vikram : ennadhu kaludaingala , vay jasti ayruchu unnaku amru ! , Seri nama yen

Aadi : No namma deer park polam !

Amritha : illa no chance namma Botanical Garden polam !

Vikram : ila ila na sonna edhathuku polam naalla irukum !

Swathi : inga na dhana periya va na sollra edhathuku polam! She said in a stern voice

The entire car turned into a battle field except that none of them had their weapons to kill eachother .

Sanjana who was all the while listening to everyone's choice of destination to visit . Lost her cool when it turned into a battle field

"STOP " Sanjana screamt on top of her voice being annoyed .

Sanjana : Neenga ellam enna LKG , UKG pasangala ippudi sanda puduchukuringa ,
Namma inga edhuku vandhom , enjoy panna vandhoma illa sanda poda vandoma , Akka innum one week la poirvuanga adhukaga avunga kuda irukura last few days memorable ah spend pannalam nu dhana vandhom.

All the cousins looked at eachother and realised how childish they were and immediately asked a sorry with a puppy face to escape from Sanjana's wrath

Sanjana: Panradhu ellam pannitu munji ya ippudi vachukonga ! Seri ada vidinga na venum na oru solution taren , Namma yen ellam destination ayum oru chinna paper la elludi adhula vara oru place choose panna kudadhu ?

Aditi :indha idea nalla iruke , Anna paper ku enga poradhu?

Aadi : Adhu dhan amru book iruke adhula irundhu edhutukalam

Amru : dei please en book venam , ennaku book la irundhu paper kilucha pudikadhu nu terium la please venam ,

Vikram : Amru papa, oru paper dhana please illana idhuku oru solution varadhu

Amru: seri okay anna , ungalukaga indha aadi korangu kaga illa, she sighed.

Swathi wrote the destinations in a piece of paper and folded them into four halves.

Swathi : Sanju , nee dhana enndha destination kum name suggest pannala , so appa neeye indha chits of paper la irundhu oru chit choose pannu

Sanjana : Seri Akka , nane choose panren

Swathi forwarded her hand with the chits and Sanjana chose one and she unfolded the paper

Vikram: Sanju , endha destination, Needle View Hill Point dhana ?he asked excitedly

Sanjana: I wish it was Anna but fortunately adhu destination illa , namma swathi akka suggest panna Emerald Lake dhan

Swathi : So it is decided then , Namma Emerald Lake polam

All the cousins agreed and started heading towards Emerald Lake in Ooty.
The entire cousin gang continued pulling each others leg through out the journey
But as usual Sanjana was enjoying the little things happening around along with the scenery during the travel.

Swathi took her phone and called Vijay and explained about the happenings that happened after she cut the call and made sure he did not panic.

Swathi :" Amru!", "Amru!" , endhiri da.
Emerald Lake vandhuruchu

Amritha got up with rubbing her eyes and when she slowly opened her eyes she was spell bound with the sight in front of her

Amritha: Akka seriously chance eh illa , the view is perfectly awesome.

Aadi: Akka serious ah semma climate adhuvum indha lake oda beauty eh vera , na poi konjam photo edhukuren.

Swathi : Seri da , Po poi photo edhu , nee periya photographer ah vara en asiravadham unnaku iruku ! She said with a wide smile

Making the rest burst into laughter

Aditi : Seri Namma ellarum photo edhukalama ... to mark our first bucket list wish was fulfilled?

Amru : ippa dhan Aditi nee oru proper idea tandhuruka

Aadi gave his camera to a passerby who was crossing them to capture there moments .

Swathi was in the middle with everyone close to her and wide smile plastered on each and everyone , that showed their excitement of there dream being accomplished

Immediately Aadi posted that picture on his Instagram wall with a caption " One down many more to go"

After the photograph session, Vikram and Aditi were arranging for the camp fire where the rest of them were busy exploring and enjoying the lake around.

"Amru! , Aadi!, Swathi! , Sanju!" Screamt Vikram which gave an echoing effect.

All gathered near the camp fire except Sanjana

Aadi : Dei sanju enga da kannom ?

Amritha : Sanju akka va adho ellarum anga parunga. She said pointing her fingers to the Lake

Sanjana was sitting down near the lake , playing along with the water and keeping her legs inside it.

Vikram : ivalavu nerama namma ellarayum lkg pasangala nu ketutu , iva panra velaya paren . He told with a grin on his face

The rest of them went to get her back to the camp fire area

Sanjana: Swathi akka , seriously anga Lake la thani la velandha modhu chinna vaysula eppudi namma la family trip ku kutitu wonderla ku povamla anga thani la velanda adhe mari feel dhan ingayum iruku akka

Swathi : Sanju, nee matum eppudi d ippudi iruka , oru tea smell la irundhu thani la veladura varaikum , how can u enjoy even the smallest things around u .

Sanjana : Adhulam apdi dhan akka , reason nu keta ennaku solla teriala, she said with a soulful smile.

All of them sat around around the campfire in a circle , experiencing the warmth along with enjoying the fascinating scenery

Vikram: Inimel , swathi unkuda sanda puduchuka mudiyadhu la ? He told with teary eyes

Swathi : Dei nee sentiment ah pesuna , konruven . Eppavum enkuda vambuku illukura en thambi dhan venum , idhu set agala da !

Vikram : I still remember swati , namma chinna pillai ah iruka modhu balcony kita poitu dei nee anga edge la poi nil keela gudi, kandippa super man vandhu kaptuvaru nu sonna , nanum en akka sollrale nu nambi guduchen kadasila , kai kum kal kum fracture vandhadhu dhan micham and unnaku amma kita irundhu titu vilunduchu , appa un munji ya pakkanume evlavu happy ya irunden teriuma , he said with tears almost flowing down .

Aadi : Akka inimel yaru akka ennaya enga appa kita adi vanguradhula irundhu kappathuva , neenga irukura varaikum na enna pannalum ennaku support pannuvinga inimel I ll miss u more akka , he told by giving a tight hug to swathi

The brothers who always fought with her and them being emotional about her send off to inlaw's house made swathi a bit more emotional.

Aditi: Akka kalynam analum , na kupta en kuda shopping ku varuvingala ? Na design panra dresses ah neenga eppavum pola corrections solluvingala ? She asked innocently

Swathi : Aditi darling , Na kalynam pannitu Mars ku pola inga dhan iruka poren , nee eppa kuptalum na vandhuruven ,adhe mari un designs ellam na dhan approve panniven , eppavume I ll be there for u seria . Now smile , make up ellam kalanjurum. She said earning a glare from Aditi

Amritha immediately hugged Swathi and started crying profusely
Amritha : Akka inimel na school pogum bodhu ennaku kalaila yaru sapadhu ooti viduva ? School la ellarum enkita doubt keka varuvanga , but na ennoda doubts ellam unga kita kepen ? Inimel na enna panniven

Swathi : Amru , ippavum onnum illa morning ennaku badhila sanju unnaku ooti viduva and doubts nee eppa venalum veetuku va and call pannu okay va na engayum pogala okay? Saying so she wiped the tears of amritha

Sanjana : Ellarum akka va miss pannuvinga but adigama na dhan miss pannuven yenna unga ellarayum prank panna modhu ennoda crime partner ah avunga dhan irundhanga , inimel thaniya na prank panradhula oru fun irukadhu . She told wiping of her fake tears

Hearing Sanjana , a small smile crept on each and everyone's face

Swathi: Ama Sanju , Nee yen solla mata , prank pannitu poiruva unnaku badhula Hitler thata kita na matipen la , unnakaga enna ellam panna vendiyadha iruku paru ...

Sanjana : Akka jokes apart , Na padum bodhu ennaya encourage panra ore aal neenga dhan , u admired each and every talent of mine and motivated me , now I ll miss singing the song request that u keep .

Swathi : Hey ellarum romba senti aga arambuchutinga , en thambi thangachinga ennga kannom, inga iruka ellarum alu munjiya irukunga , Ennaku vambu panra cousins than venum , See even If I get married , namma kula iruka equation eppavume maradhu .. purinjudha ?

Swathi opened her arms and engulfed everyone into a tight hug making sure that there bond will never change no matter what

Vikram : Dei time ah parunga 5.30 achu .Kelambulama ? Ellarum varaudhukula !

Aditi: Vikram ama da kelambala Hitler vararudhukula namma seekrama reach aganum la

Saying so everyone began packing there bags and started heading towards coimbatore, the ride back to coimbatore was with utter silence , since everyone already started having the feeling of missing swathi around.

*******

Vikram parked the car near their home, making everyone realise that they have reached

Aditi : Nalla vela just miss 6.55 ku lam vandhutom

Swathi : Ama aditi, Amma sonnaga avunga vara 7 ayrum nu so nalla vela

As they entered the house , they found the lights turned on ,making amru tremble in fear . The rest of them were trying to process what they were witnessing.
