The light pastel color purple curtain hung above the window. As Prabha walked inside his room and sat on the table near his study place . Above his study desk sat a pin board of Yuvan Shankar Raj Music playlist ! On the side of the study desk had a photo frame of Prabha and his so called girlfriend who he had recently broke up with.

For a minute he closed his eyes and let out a deep breath , before disposing it into the dustbin. At the end of the day our room is our bestfriend who knows every little secret of us which the outside world ain't privy to.

Rightly his ringtone played " Udhungadha Sangu na dhanda soru kingu ! Tamil is my mother tongue uh I m single and I m young uh "

"Enna da ? Yuvan songs ketu feel pannitu irukiya ? " Nithish voice was heard from the other end of the call.

"Ada chi adhu lam illa, Ennaku kovam dhan tappe panna ma ellathayum ennaya blame pannitu she just left off, Oru vidathula ennaku idhu nalladhu dhan ! " Prabha replied.

" Innaiku enga ponna ? Na veetuku vandhen veetla illa nee ? " Nithish rolled his eyes.

" Hey Machan solla maranten , Naa vara vazhila innaiku Kaatrin Mozhi ponnen " Prabha told with having his thumb rubbing his forehead.

" Edhu andha padathuka ? Adhu release ayi romba varsham ache da " Nithish blinked his eyes.

"Joke nu nenachu edho onnu try panrenu teriudhu , Na counter kudukura nelamaila illa Machan" Prabha squinted his eyes.

Nithish acted like he zipping his mouth and asked him to continue.

" Andha Cafe la ellame vidiyasama irunduchu da , Na irukura tension la waiters ah kupta yarum respond pannala " Prabha gave a pause.

"Apram enna dhan achu ? " Nithish was curious to know.

" Andha Cafe owner oomai nu teriama , na padu konja voice ah raise panniten ! At times nammaku nalla naal ah ila naa we end up showing our anger in a wrong way nu innaiku purinjukuten " Prabha felt a guilty for be a little rude to the petite figure he had encountered today.

Nithish keenly listened to his best friend , he knew a biryani can set his friends mood a little bit . With having him on call he had ordered Prabha to open the door . When Prabha opened the door , the sight he had encountered was that of a delivery guy having the package of " Junior Kuppana - Chicken Biryani "

"Unnaku dhan sonnen ! Nalla saptutu nimmadhiya thungu , ini yaru kudayum night full ah vidiya vidiya muluchu kadala podavenam ... Yuvan Paatu potutu vibe pannu Machan " Nithish hung up the call with it.

Nithish Prabha's friendship is such that the other doesn't have to explain what happened , why they are yelling at eachother, they just understand without having to convey and that indeed is a boon to have such people around us in life.

Prabha's thought were filled with the sight of those little tiny button children who had pulled the Cafe owner's shawl . The little interaction that went behind them somehow kept soothing his racing heart due to the shocks he had encountered today . He retired to sleep with the pleasing smile of those tiny kids and Cafe owner.

As the morning sun rose , the air was crisp and fresh. The sun reflected flawlessly off the pond as the water stayed still and crystal clear . The park felt like home for the homeless birds around.

It was a daily ritual for Shreya to have a jog around the park in the morning. She never misses to take a glance and admire the silence in the park early in the morning along with the birds chirping that sounded like a melody in that of her ears.

"Aah " shrieked Shreya out of fear when she felt someone pushing her from behind.

Shreya turned around to look who was behind it, only to find her best friend from school days until now having a mischievous look written over her face.

"Kriti , evalavu time solliruken indha mari talli vitu bayamurthada nu " Shreya sighed.

"Unnaya verupu ethama ennaku en day satisfy agadhu Shrey " Krithi pulled Shreya's tiny little nose.

The duo continued to jog around the park , while Shreya noticed Krithi being overly conscious and she also found Krithi to turn behind and check on someone continously.

"Yara Krithi tedura ? " Shreya tried finding out what was happening.

" Onnum illa Shrey " Krithi stammered but Shreya halted in the tracks and demanded her to Spill the beans out.

"Adhu , konja naal ah oru paiyan Instagram la follow panni stalk panra Shrey ! Avan ippa enna da na , Na enga ellam poreno anga ellam varan " Krithi sounded tensed.

"Andha doomar munji inga irukana ? " Shreya rolled her eyes for which Krithi nodded her head from North to South.

"Dark blue Sweat shirt poturukan paru " Krithi gave Shreya a clue to identify.

Shreya turned immediately to find the same guy she had encountered yesterday in the cafe . The guy who ruined the silence with his anger , who did not have the patience in him to realise it was a sign language cafe . To her surprise , she found him accompanied with another man who's hair was no less than that of a noodle.

But little did she know he wasn't the guy that kept troubling her friend Krithi. The guy who troubled krithi was towards the right side , while Shreya's eye fell on the left side thus having a misconception of Prabha and His friend.

"Iru ! Idhuku na poi mudivu katuren " Shreya decided to confront the duo.

"Adhu lam Venam , idha vida serious ah pochu na police kita polam ! Ippa un rowdysim katama modhala kelambala " Krithi somehow convinced her friend and moved her out of the park before she ends up creating a free show of fighting for the park visitors.

********

Visiting the mall was Shreya and Krithi's favourite hobby . Not to get it wrong , these girls love window shopping. Trying various outfits and capturing a mirror selfie which are hidden in their galleries.

Likewise the girls were on there day out today. But Krithi was unusual , which did not settle along with Shreya.

"Enna d phone la ye iruka ? " Shreya sighed.

"Andha paiyan ingayum vandhuta nu nenaikuren , ennaku message pannirukan Instagram la " Krithi did not know how to let go the stalker behind.

Meanwhile Kirthi got a call from her home and she excused herself , while Shreya's eyes roamed around to check if the guy is stalking her friend.

Towards her long sight stood Prabha and Nithish busy conversing amongst themselves .

"Inni namma dhan kalathula eranganum " Shreya thought to herself and walked towards Prabha and Nithish not knowing she is indulging a wrong move.

She walked up to Prabha and snapped her fingers in front of his face.

He realised she was the same girl that he had encountered back in Kaatrin Mozhi cafe yesterday.

"Neenga ! " Before he could complete he was astounded to hear her speaking which made him stood still.

" Enna nenachutu irukinga neenga ? Ippudi en friend ah stalk panni ungaluku enna kedaika pogudhu? " raged Shreya in anger.

"Yen ma ! Wait oru nimisham " Nithish tried easing the situation.

"Na unga kita pesa la , so just stay out of it" Shreya roared at the stranger.

" Enga ponalum follow panringa ? Name less faceless people hiding behind the screen and flirting doesn't make u impressive enough puriyudha ? " Shreya raised her voice.

Prabha has never seen anyone raging at him in this state. He blinked his eyes back and forth.

" Paiyan na enna venalum panradhuku freedom iruka ? Do u realise idhu nala en friend ku acute anxiety vara chances iruku !
Be a man enough and meet her face to face rather than creeping her out. " Shreya was clear in her point.

"Next time vera endha ponnu kita behave panradhu ku munadi indha day nyabaga varatum , innoru time follow panna nu terinjudhu na pesa maten police arrest warrant pesum ! Doomar munji" Shreya gave a warning.

Nithish and Prabha were taken back , they clearly did not understand what was happening. While kirthi who came back from the call , was able to witness the commotion created by her friend Shreya.

She went running to the trio and began pulling Shreya !

"Hey Krithi , vidu d ! Ivanugalam la summa vida kudadhu " She tried getting out of Krithi's hold.

"Hey kirukii , idhu andha paiyan illa d." Krithi panicked.

Shreya who was bursting like a Loudspeaker went to mute zone. She blinked her eyes back and forth , while the guys realised , she had thought them to be stalkers when actually they weren't. 

This turned out to be embarrassing situation ." Never judge a book by its cover " the saying went perfect for this situation. Yesterday's behaviour that irked Shreya made her to believe why should Prabha be the stalker which her friend mentioned and that resulted to this mishap.

"Sorry ! Konjam romba vaai pesiten " Shreya told as she held her both ears and ran away from there sight with Krithi.

Prabha was still dumbstruck. While Nithish who kept his ears closed let out a sigh.

" Nee netu sonnala oru oomai ponnu cafe la patha nu , andha ponnu ku badhula indha ponnu oomai ah irundhurukalam ! Seriyana bajari ah irupa pola " Nithish rolled his eyes.

"Andha ponne ava dhan " Prabha gave a confused look.
