Authoreyy travel pannudhu so naan ippove update podudhu. 😁

Terminez La Soupe. (Soup-eh Mudida)

****

Giu: Perché siamo seduti qui? Come possiamo sentire di cosa stanno parlando? 🤪 (Why are we sitting here? How can we hear what they are talking about?)

Mugilanna and Giuseppe were dressed in suits and sat a table away from Vikram and Sailaja, covering their faces behind a menu book.

Mug: Ho detto al cameriere di posizionare i microfoni sotto il tavolo. 😉 (I told the waiter to place the microphones under the table.)

Mugilanna revealed his iPods.

(Vikram's table)

Vikram examined through the menu before calling the waiter to place his order for dinner.

Sai: Enna order panninge? 😃

Vik: Secret. 😒

Sai: Achubuchuna idhe solliduradhu. 😏

The waiter soon arrived with dinner ready to be served.

👨‍💼: Signora, for the appetizer, we are serving Frittura di Paranza. For the first course, it's Trofie al Pesto di Rucola, and for the second course, it is Cacciucco. We are also serving Caponata as a side dish, and for the dessert, it's Sbrisolona. 😊

(Mugilanna's table)

Mug: Damn, è un'ottima scelta di pasto. 😯 (That's a great meal choice.)

Giu: Che cibo ha ordinato? Possiamo ordinare lo stesso cibo? Ho un po' fame. 😁 (What food did he order? Can we order the same food? I'm kinda hungry.)

Mug: Bene, possiamo ordinare. Ma per questo dobbiamo lavare i piatti. Sei pronto per questo? 🙄 (Well, we can order. But we have to wash dishes for that. Are you ready for that?)

Giu: No. 😐

Mug: Poi ci fermeremo in pizzeria più tardi. 🙄 (Then we will stop at the pizzeria later.)

Giu: Almeno possiamo avere un po' di zuppa? ☹️ (At least can we have some soup?)

Mug: 🤦‍♂️ Mi scusi, cameriere. (Excuse me, waiter)

(Vikram's table)

Sai: Wow. 😲

Vik: Epdi? 😒

Sai: Naan indha perellam kelvipattadhe ille. 😲

Vik: Unakku seafoods-na romba pudikkumle so adhan seafood neraya irukura dishes order pannen. 😒

Sailaja became impressed when Vikram mentioned that he knew she enjoyed seafood and even ordered it.

Sai: Thank you. 😊

Vik: Ennadhu? Ketkale. 😒

Sai: Golden words are not meant to be repeated. 😝

Vik: Rombadhan. 😒

Sai: 🤭

They both proceeded to eat their dinner. Sailaja thoroughly liked the wonderful the meal, despite finding it challenging to use the dinnerware. But she was able to replicate Vikram's movements while utilising those utensils. Vikram realised that Sailaja was having difficulty using such utensils, so he pretended to eat slowly so that Sailaja could mimic his actions.

Sai: 😌🙄🤭

Vik: Enna? 🤨

Sai: Ange paarungalen. 🤭👉

Vikram noticed two men in suits sitting at a table nearby, holding a menu that covered both of their faces. It appeared like they were kissing one another.

Vik: Adhellam nee yen paarkure Sailuma, inge adhellam sagajam. 😒

Sai: Aww cute-ah irukkule. Epdiyo, nalla vazhndha sandhosham. 🤭

(Mugilanna's table)

Giu: Dio mio! Ci stanno guardando. 🤪 (Oh my god! They are looking at us.)

Mug: Calmati, Beppe. Non possono trovarci. 🤦‍♂️ (Calm down, Beppe. They can't find us.)

Giu: Penso che siamo colti in flagrante. Ci guardano ancora e ridacchiano. 🤪 (I think we're caught red-handed. They are still looking at us and giggling.)

Mug: Ora so perché il tuo capo non ti ha lasciato solo per spiarlo. 😒 (Now I know why our boss didn't leave you just to spy on him.)

Giu: Perché? 😏 (Why?)

Mug: Moodikittu soup-eh mudida. 😒

Giu: Che cosa? 🙄 (What?)

Mug: Finisci la zuppa. 😒 (Finish the soup.)

(A few minutes later)

Vikram was driving the car, and Sailaja was looking out the window.

Vik: How was the dinner, Sailuma? 😒

Sai: Super-ah irundhichi Vicky Paiya. 😊

Vik: Naalaikki enge poganumnu decide pannu namma pogalam. 😒

Sai: Hai Jolly! 🤩

Vik: 😒

Sai: Vicky Paiya! Vicky Paiya! Stop! Stop! 😃

Vikram hit the break.

Vik: Ennachi!? 🤪

(🛵)

Giu: Perché si è fermato? 🤪 (Why did he stop?)

Mug: Come dovrei saperlo? 😬 (How am I supposed to know?)

(🚗)

Vik: Edhukku stop panna sonne? 🤪

Sai: Ange paarunga. 😃👆

Vikram noticed a street vendor who was selling ice cream.

Vik: Idhukkudhan usuru poramadhiri kathuniya? 🤨

Sai: Ice-cream venum. 😁

Vik: Ange restaurant-le sollirundha best quality Ice-cream vaangi kuduthuruppene. 🤨

Sai: Adhellam yaarukku venum? Enna irundhalum rathrile kulfi saapdura madhiri varuma? 😁

Vik: Adhukkunu ipdiya? 🤨

Sai: Ada neenga enna strict appa madhiri romba kelvi ketkuringe? Idhu seripattu varadhu, ice-cream venumna erangi vaanga. 😁

Sailaja got out of the car and started walking towards the street seller.

Vik: Hey! Sailaja! 🤦‍♂️ Indha ponnu solradhaye ketkamatudhu. 😤

Vikram parked the car and proceeded towards Sailaja, while Mugilanna parked the scooter behind a tree that was nearby.

Sai: Buonasera signore. 😁 (Good evening, sir.)

🙎‍♂️: Buonasera signora. 😊 (Good evening, ma'am.)

Sai: Posso avere un gelato alla vaniglia? 😊 (Can I have a vanilla Ice-cream?)

🙎‍♂️: Certo, signora. 😁 (Sure, ma'am.)

Sai: Ungalukku enna venum Vicky Paiya? 😁

Vik: 😒

Sai: Seri ungalakku chocolate pudikkumle naan adhuve solren. Signore, un gelato al cioccolato per lui. 😁

🙎‍♂️: Certo, signora. 😊

They received the ice creams and paid for it.

Sai: Vaanga andha bridge kitte pogalam. 😁

Vik: Mudiyadhunu sonna ketkavapore? 😒

They both walked to the bridge and stood there quietly for a period of time. It was a serene and calm night, with a gentle breeze blowing. They gazed at the night streetlights and the moon's reflection in the river.

Sai: I'm sorry.

Vik: Edhukku? 🙄

Sai: Nethu nigh....

Sailaja doesn't even have the courage to finish the statement.

Vik: Sailuma inge paaren. 😒

Sai: 🙄

Vik: We know why we both are in this situation, so nee awkward-ah feel panradhe nenaichi varuthapadadhe. We can work through this. Nammalukku enna vayasacha? We have more time in our lives. 😒

Sai: Enakku vayasagale aana ungalukku aache. Adhan ippo kavalaye. 🤔

Vik: Adinggu! 😤

Sai: 🤭🏃‍♀️

Vik: Hey, Sailaja Nillu! 😤🏃‍♂️
