RA: "Indha Aravindh irukaraane, elaame solli solli panna vekkanum; indha gunathula avan appa va kondutan! Ennatha panna!Hmmm... nee muzhikardha paatha unkita avan edhayume sollala polaye?!"

K: "Illa Ramani ma, avan good news sonadhoda seri; Avan ipdi oru idea la serious aa irkaan nu I didnt expect. Nakkala edho Anna Nagar to Atlanta nu edhayo sonan. This is news to me" he replied sounding surprised.

Ramya looked a little disturbed; she finished her meal short and excused herself from the dining hall saying she is going to check on the kids. Krishna did not fail to notice the same. He also mumbles something similar to go talk to her in privacy.

The rest of the gang were having a gala time at the dinner table unaware of these change in emotions.
Ramya just walks out the backdoor and stands in the backyard, staring aimlessly at the sky.

Krishna slowly walks out, goes near her

K: " Hey, Ramya....Enna de,suddena enamo mari aaita?!"and puts his hands over her shoulder.

R: "En? unaku theriyadhaa ena vishayam nu?!" she removes his hand from her shoulders and steps away a little bit.

K: "Sathyama Aravindh enkita edhuvum sollala de! 4 months la important meeting iruku nu theriyum, 4 months la avanga India ku varaanga num theryum. Aniku call la unaku minaadidhaane sonaan "Be ready for a trip"nu; aprom pesave illa de, I swear!"

R: "Adhu epdi Krishna, nee Aravindh company la Indian branch oda VP. Unaku epdi theriyama irundhurkum? Enga minadiye solitaa naanum kozhandhaingalum varanum nu kepom nu nee venumne marachurkalaam la!? Aprom last minute la Aravindh ketaan, Ramani amma en amma madhiri nu edhaya soli emotional blackmail pannalam nu yosichiya?!"

K: "Hey loosu! What nonsense! Nee en wife de, unkitendhu idhuvarikum naa edhayaavadhu marachurkena?" he tried to reason.

R : "Marachurkiya illaya nu enaku epdi theriyum!" she turns her face apathetically!

Krishna was slowly losing his patience. But this wasnt new to him. This was just Ramya being Ramya!
He just takes a deep breath,
K: "Ipo ena pannanum unaku? Adha sollu"

R: "Oh, enna kekardhuku laam unaku thonuma?!" she sounded sarcastic.

K: "En de, Aravindh enkita kekama Ramani amma oda edhaya plan panna, adhukulaam naa ena de panna mudiyum? Sathyama enakum ipodhaan theryum Ramya! Trust me!" he reiterated his stand!

Ramya knew she was reacting a little too much but she convinces herself that had to!!
R: "Seri, nambaren! Apdina Aravindh unkita sollumpodhu ennayum kozhandhaingalayum kooda kootitu poga enna pananum nu kepiya?" She just hit an unexpected sixer!

Krishna just gawped at her question.

K: "Are you serious Ramya? Enkitaye edhume pesala, nee adhukulla vacation plan panra. Loosu de nee.. summa veembuku pesardha niruthu modhalla."

R: "En en en?! why not Krishna? indha 8 years la namma US poganum nu ethanavaati pesirkom? Epome work work nu plan eh panala! Kids vandhaprom adhuve reason aagipochu pogaama iruka! Ipo oru nalla chance vandhurku, why miss it?"

K: "Adhu irukatum, unaku office la evan kudupaan permission? Also, trip actualla iruka, epo ponum,evlo naal edhuvume theryaadhu. Epdi de unaku vacation plan panna thonudhu? Unbelievable man!" he gave her an exasperated look.

R: "Un friend Attai(Pradeep) kita keta venaam na solaporaan. Asusual Malaysia Uma va pathi wife kita potu kudukren nu sonna avan leave ayum enaku kuduthu poga sola poraan!!
Seri, I know edhuvume information illama plan panna mudiyaadhu. Aana information kedaikum podhu idhayum manasula vechukanum. Adhukudhaan naa pesren!" she casually stated with a shrug.

K: "Yenna planning Ramya! Adhu epdi avlo realistic aa kovam vandha mari nadicha? Epdi epdi, naa marachenaam, ivangala edhum keka thonaadhaam!!! Seriousaa nee ratchasi dhaan de" he slowly smiled shaking his head! He knew his wife is back to normalcy.

R: "Eeeee" she grins widely! ".. adhulaam unkuda kuppakotrene, adhoda training! Seriiiii solllllllu Krishnaaaa! Naangalum varalaam la US ku?!"

K: "Naa enna solla Ramya, enaku mattum una vitutu poganum nu aasaya! Modhalla Aravindh pesatum, aprom papom!" he smiles assuringly.

R: "KD da nee, commit eh panikama epdi pesara paaru!"

K: "Adhu.... unkuda kuppakotrene, adhoda training!" he winks at her with a naughty smile.

She hits him on his elbows multiple times "Unaaaa" and suddenly gasps,

R: "Ayayo!!'kozhandhaingalku saapade ootala! Neenum naanum sanda poda aaramicha kozhandhainga irukardhu kuda marandhudren da! Ellam unnala"

K: "Hey naa ena de pannen; moonjiya thookitu vandhadhu nee. Unna console panna vandhen paaru enna solanum..."
and they continue their silly banter all the way back to the dining hall.

To be continued....
