'Ammaa...Amma...',Vishwa came down the stairs after waking up.
'Thangam...enichutiya?',his mom Revathi asked preparing coffee for everyone.

'Nalla thoongune ma..travelling tired vera flight la vandhu Coimbatore la land aagi..Anga irundhu car la Pollachi vandhu..abbabhaa..',Vishwa said stretching his arms, yawning.
'Pal doctor aiyya Flight la vandhaarungalla..Apdithaan irukum',Myna(their house servant)said washing the vessals.

'Myna..adhuku peru Dentist',Vishwa corrected.
'English la Enavo..Tamil la Pal doctor uh...',Myna said and Vishwa sighed in disbelief.
'Coffee ah kudi da...',his mom Revathi handed him the coffee.

'Chinna aiyya..enaku kooda oru pallu sothaiya pochu..Adhu ennanu konjam paarungalen..',Myna said.
'Over ah vaai pesuna apdidhan aagum..peh..',Vishwa said and Myna pouted.
'Amma..paarunga ma',Myna complained Revathi.

'Dei yen da..vandhadhum varaadhadhuma avala vambuku izhukkura?',Revathi asked and Vishwa chuckled.
'Ma..ivala paathale enaku tease pannadhan thonudhu..Enna panna solra?',Vishwa asked sipping his coffee.

'Po da..un friend enichutaananu paathutu,give him this coffee',Revathi said handing over the coffee to him and Vishwa left with the coffee.

'Hmm..aana chinna aiyya 7 varsham kalichu vandhaalum..avaru maarave illa ma..',Myna said and Revathi smiled.
'Adhu avan gunam di..pudhu aalungala paathalum sattu nu ottipaan..Palasa marakkavu maatan..',Revathi said.

Myna lost her parents when she was 5,she was brought to Vishwa's house by her Grandfather,who was already working there.
Myna too brought up with Vishwa and he was always been a big brother to her and they both never miss a chance to tease eachother.
Myna was also asked to go school but she wasn't interested in studies,so Vishwa's family too didn't force her.

'Enna da..Is everything comfortable for you?', Vishwa asked handing over the coffee to Siddharth.
'Yes doctor..',Siddhu replied.
'Hey..Namma enna hospital laya irukom..Just don't call me doctor',Vishwa said.

'Seri bro..This is the first time I'm visiting India..Romba nallairuku..indha surrounding,veedu..ellame',Siddhu said.
'Then fine..namma breakfast mudichutu jolly ah suthalam',Vishwa said.

Soon they sat for breakfast and Revathi served both.
'Ma..Appa varala?',Vishwa asked no no whispered.
'Varuvaaru..nee sapdu',Revathi replied.
'Hmm..',Vishwa hummed and started eating.

'Dei..iniku oorula irundhu un athai family oda varaanga..',Revathi said and Vishwa's eyes beamed in happiness.
'Really?Vijay um varaana?',Vishwa asked.
'Aama da..athai,mama,Vijay ellaru varaanga..',Revathi said.

'Super ma..romba naal aachu',Vishwa said and ate a piece of idly.
'Aama da..Keerthi um varaa',Revathi said and Vishwa choked the food.
'Haiyoo bro paathu..',Siddhu said and passed the water to him.

'Paathu da..',Revathi said patting his head.
'Avala?Ava yen varaa?',Vishwa asked annoyingly.
'Ennanga aiiya?family na Keerthi amma vum dhana?',Myna asked laughing.
'Enna nakkala sirikira..ongi vittenna..',Vishwa raised his hands playfully but stopped by seeing Lakshmikandhan.

'Enna satham?', Lakshmikandhan asked.
'Appa..', Vishwa stood up and by seeing him Siddharth too.
'Ukkaandhu Sapdunga', Lakshmikandhan said as he took his seat, while they both too.

'Amma..paarungalen..innum oru 30/40 varsham pona..Chinna aiyya apdiye periya aiyya maadhiri dhan irupaaru..',Myna whispered in Revathi's ears and Revathi nodded smiling.

'Enna thambi,ooru veedu ellam sougariyam ah iruka?', Lakshmikandhan asked Siddharth.
'Everything is fine uncle.. Comfortable ah iruku', Siddharth answered.
'Hmm',he nodded in response.

'Vishwa!',Lakshmikandhan called.
'Sollunga pa..',Vishwa answered humbly.
'Oorula irundhu..Athai family oda varaanga..Innum chinna pasanga maadhiri Keerthi oda sanda podakoodadhu..Puriyudhaa?', Lakshmikandhan asked.
'Maaten pa',Vishwa replied.

The breakfast went in silence.
Both Vishwa and Siddharth left to the town after having their breakfast.
They stopped the car near a Sugarcane juice vehicle and started having one for them.

'Enna bro?Ellarkkittayu jolly ah fun ah pesureenga..Appa na mattu avlo bayam ah?', Siddharth asked.
'Bayam nu solla mudiyaadhu..Oru mariyadhai nu vechukalam..', Vishwa replied.

'Ohh', Siddharth nodded and they heard a voice,'Mappillaiii'.
'Machaann...',Vishwa too screamed in happiness and hugged him.
'Vetrii epdi da iruka?',Vishwa asked pulling back from the hug to the man with curly hair standing infront of him.

'Nallairuken maapla..Nee yeppo vandha?',Vetri asked.
'Nethu evening vandhen da..Unna dhan paakanumnu nenachute irundhen..Neeye vandhu nikkira..', Vishwa said.
'Seri da..thambi yaaru?Nalla karumbu machine la mattuna sakkai maadhiri irukaapla?',Vetri asked.

'Dei aprom...athai oorula irundhu varaanga pola',Vetri asked.

'Pinna unaku engagement na enaku theriyaadha maapla?adhukudhan varaanga',Vetri blurted out.

'Yedhu engagement ah?Enakaa?',Vishwa asked.

'Adhu vandhu maapla...'
'Dei unmaiya sollu..Enna plan panirukeenga ellarum?', Vishwa asked.

'Adhaan maapla..Unakum Keerthi um... Engagement.. Kalyanam..',Vetri said and Vishwa's eyes widened.
'Yedhhu?'!

'Keerthi...Innum evlo neram di?', Keerthi's mom Archana yelled.
'Dhoo varen ma..',Keerthi came after locking the house.
'Yevlo neram dhan pannuva?',Archana asked and Keerthi sighed.
'Late aachu ma vandila yeru..',Keerthi said and got inside the car.

'Ivala...',Archana sighed in disbelief and got inside the car.
'Ellam ready ah polaama?',Vijay asked.
'Polaam thangam',Keerthi replied.
Soon the family was heading to the airport.

'Vishwa vandhutaanama nga,Nethu evening dha reach aayirukaan..', Archana said to Krishna Kumar.
'Ayoo..apo vandiya thirupunga veetuku polaam',Keerthi said and Archana knocked her head.
'Maa..avan yen ma vandhaan?Ooruku poromnu evlo jolly ah irundhen theriyumaa?', Keerthi sighed.

'Hey..avanuku dhan di engagement uh..apo avan illama epdi..?',Vijay said.
'Ayoo paavam..Andha LIC building kitta maatikkittu andha ponnu enna paadu pada pogudhoo..',Keerthi said and everyone broke into laughter.

'Yen sirikireenga?Naa avlo nalla joke ah sonnen?', Keerthi asked.
'Illa..unna paathu neeye paava pattukiriye adha nenachom,sirichom', Vijay said while Krishna Kumar gave Vijay a Hi-fi.

'Huh?Apdina?',Keerthi asked furrowing her eyebrows.
'Apdina.. Kalyana ponne nee dhan ma',Krishna Kumar said.
'Yedhuuu?'!

'Amma..chancey illa avalaa ellam ennaala kalyanam pannika mudiyaadhu..Manushan vazhuvaana ava kooda?',Vishwa shouted.
'Dei indha kalyanam enamo unaku theriyaadha maari solra..yeppavo pesi vechadhu dhana daa?',Revathi asked.

'Theriyum..aana ellam marandhurupeenganu nenache', Vishwa replied.
'Adhepdi da?Ipodhan nee London la irundhu vandhuruka..Adhey kaiyoda unaku kalyanam panni vekkalam nu paathom..',Revathi said.
'Adhaan naan thirumba London poga poradhillala.. Chennai dhana poga poren..Aprom enna porumaiya pannikalam ma..Adhuvu ivala..Ma please maa..',Vishwa whined.

'Porumaiyaana yeppo nga aiyya?50 Vayasula pannikireengala?',Myna asked.
'Heyy odeeru..',Vishwa warned and Myna ran to kitchen.

'Hmm..enna yaaraiyaavadhu love panriyaa?', Revathi asked.
'No ma..',Vishwa replied.
'Aprom enna..?Unaku indha kalyanam venaamna poi un appa ta sollu po',Revathi said and moved.

'Maa.. Ungaluku dhan theriyum la enakum avanukum aagadhu nu..',Keerthi sighed.
'Indha kalyanam enamo unaku theriyaadha maari solra..yeppavo pesi vechadhu dhana di..?', Archana asked.
'Adhumattum illama nalla paiyan,nalla padichurukaan, engalukum bayam illa..', Krishna Kumar said.

'Appa..naan innu chinna ponnu dhana..',Keerthi said and Vijay laughed.
'Thangam..sirikirella neeyum?', Keerthi asked.
'Ayoo sorry thangam..', Vijay pleaded.
'Un vayasu ponnungalukellam..', Archana was about to speak and Keerthi cut her off.

'Podhum..aarambikaadha',Keerthi rolled her eyes.
'Thangam avanuku enna korachal sollu?',Krishna Kumar asked.

'Bro unga athai ponnu dhana?Enna problem?', Siddharth asked Vishwa who throwing and catching his cricket ball.

'Seriyaana Ratchasan!'
'Pisaasu!'

'Mutta kannan!'
'Neela mooki!'

'Valandhu kettavan!'
'Kulla vaathu!'

'ENNAALA AVANA/AVALA KALYANAM PANNIKA MUDIYAADHU!'.

Krishna Kumar's family reached Coimbatore airport and the driver sent by Lakshmikandhan was already arrived.

They soon got inside and they reached Pollachi.
The driver stopped the car at the petrol bunk for Petrol.

'Anna anna..naan drive pannava?',Keerthi asked.
'Summa iren di..', Archana said.
'Maa.. please maa...Anna naa drive panren na..please..',Keerthi showed her puppy eyes.
'Periya aiyya satham poduvaaru ma',the driver said.

'Mama lam onnu solla maataru..Naan paathukuren..',Keerthi said and she already sat on the driver seat.
'Sonna kekava pora?',Krishna Kumar sighed and the Driver to let her drive.

'Hellooo..Helloo..Pch signal eh illa..',Vishwa came out from the house and exactly at the same time the car which Keerthi was driving reached inside.

'Ada ivana...Iru dii varen..', Keerthi made a plan inside her mind and raised the accelerator.
The car literally flew and Vishwa noticed it.

The car came more closer to Vishwa and Vishwa jumped from there.Keerthi stopped the car and started laughing.
'Heyy..yen di ipdi panraa?',Archana said and everyone got down except laughing Keerthi.

'Onnum aagalala pa?',Archana asked.
'Illa athai..Im fine..Vaanga',Vishwa welcomed them.
'Heyy..Car ipdidhan otuvaangala?Appa va sollanum endha maadhiri driver la velaiku vechurukaanga?',Vishwa asked hissing in pain.

'Driver dhan otalaye...',Vijay said.
'Huh?', Vishwa furrowed his eyebrows and Keerthi got down from the car with an innocent face.

They both were seeing eachother after many years.
When Vishwa saw her last time,she was only 17 and he was 21!

But nothing has changed between them still now.
