****

Vik: 😁

Sai: 😒

Vik: Ellathayum collect panniten vaathiyaar amma. 😁

Sai: Kudunga. 😒

Sailaja attempted to grab the papers, but Vikram shifted his hand upward.

Sai: Enna panringe!? 😤

Vik: Kudunga Vicky Paiya apdinu sollu kudukkuren. 😁

Sai: Mudiyadhu! 😤

Vik: Apdina naanum kudukka mudiyadhu. 😁

Sailaja sighed with frustration.

Sai: Seri seri. 😤

Vik: Apdi vaa valikku. Sollu paarpom sollu sollu. 😁

Sai: Kudun....

Sailaja stepped on Vikram's foot without warning.

Vik: AAAHHH!!! 😱

Sailaja took the papers and began filing them away while Vikram jumped in pain.

Vik: Kuduna kudukkaporen adhukku yen indha kolaveri!? 🤪

Sai: 😒

After placing the file in her backpack, Sailaja began folding the blackboard.

Vik: Blackboard-eh kudu Sailuma naan thookittu varen. 😁

Sai: Yaar dhayavum enakku thevaiyille, 30km thookittu vara therinja enakku veedu varaikkum thookittu poga theriyum. 😒

Vik: ☹️

Sailaja carried her belongings and the blackboard and began to walk away.

Vik: Enna pannalum namma mele kovamave irukkale. 😮‍💨 It's fine, innikidhane first day. Namma oru inch kuda nagarama love torture kuduppom. 😎

Vikram excitedly sprinted over to Sailaja.

Vik: Namma ippo enge porom? 😁🚶‍♂️

Sai: 😒🚶‍♀️

Vik: Seri seri solla vendam, let it be a surprise. 😁🚶‍♂️

Sai: 🤦‍♀️🚶‍♀️

They both entered Sailaja's home. Sailaja stored her belongings there and took a large handwoven basket, a sickle knife, and a shovel.

Vik: Ma ma kuduma weight-ah irukkum. 😄

Sai: 😒

She carried things effortlessly.

Vik: At least, andha shovel-eyachum kudukkalame, please. 😐

Sai: 😒

She dropped the sickle knife into Vikram's hand and continued walking.

Vik: Semmedhan en pondatti. 😁

Vikram noticed a large woven basket near the wall.

Vik: Adhe kudukkalena enna namma idhe thookittu povom. 😁

Vikram grabbed and carried the basket.

Vik: Enna ivlo barama irukku? Aiyo Wifeyy dhoorama porale. Sailuma! Wait for me! 🤪🏃‍♂️

Vikram soon joined Sailaja.

Sai: Edhukku idhe thookittu varinge? 😒🚶‍♀️

Vik: En Wifeyy-eh koodai thookavittu naan chumma nadandhu vandha epdi? I'm sharing your burden, my dear Wifeyy. 😜🚶‍♂️

Sai: 😒🚶‍♀️

They quickly began to trek through the misty, dense woodland.

Vik: Sailuma namma enge porom? 🤪

Sai: Surprise. 😒

Vik: Namma bittu nammalukke aapu vekkidhe. 🤪

Vikram found it difficult to go around the dense foliage while carrying the large basket, although Sailaja did so with ease.

Vik: Indha koodaiye thookittu vandhadhu thappa poche. Namma pondatti ivlo kuttiya irundhukute assault-ah thookittu pora. 🤪

They quickly arrived at a location.

Vik: Ma enna edam idhu? Suthi kaadave irukku. Enge poromne theriyale namma kaanama poyitta yaaru kaapa....

Sai: Ptch, shhh. 🤫

Vik: 🫢

Sai: Sathampotu pesadhinge. 🤨

Vik: 🤫

Sailaja set her basket on the floor and grabbed the shovel.

Vik: Ma enkitte ku....

Sai: Shhh. 🤫😌🙏

Vik: Enna saami kumbudura? 🙄

After a minute of silence, Sailaja began digging the dirt with the shovel.

Vik: Enakku edhuvum velai illaiya? ☹️

Sai: Naan koopdave illaye. 😒

Vik: Koopdalenalum varuven naan. ☹️

Sai: Edhayum thodame pesame irundhale podhum. 😒

Vikram set his basket on the soil and sat next it.

Vik: Bore adikkidhu. ☹️

Sai: 😒

Vik: Edhachum help panrene? ☹️

Sai: 😒

Vik: Apdi ennadhan thondure? Ange enna treasure-ah irukku? 🙄

Sai: Ungale potu podhaikkadhan. 😒

Vik: 😱

Sai: Shhh, satham podadhingenu sonnen. 🤨

Vik: Enne kolluradhukku ivlo dhooram kaatukulle kootittu vandhutu satham poda vendamuna solre!? 🤪

Sai: Shut Up! 😤

Vik: 🤐

Sailaja placed the shovel away and began to clear dirt with her hands.

Vik: Apdi ennadhan ange irukku? 🙄

Vikram carefully moved to the hole and peered inside.

Vik: Ennadhidhu ivlo periya kallu kalla irukku? 🤪

Sai: Adhu kallu ille karune kelangu. 🤦‍♀️

Vik: Apdina? 😅

Sai: Elephant foot yam. 😒

Vik: Ohhhh ivlo perusava irukkum? 😲

Sai: Aama. 😒

She took the yams from their roots and began to clean off the dirt.

Vik: At least ippayachum help panrene? ☹️

Sai: 😒

Sailaja sighed and passed the yams to Vikram, who put them in the large basket. After gathering the yams, Sailaja began to close the hole. After covering the hole, she grabbed her basket.

Sai: Ennadhidhu en koodai gaaliya irukku? 🤨

Vik: Naan ellathayum en koodaile vechittene. 😜

Sai: Koodaiye kudunga. 🤨

Vik: Mudiyadhu. 😝

Sai: 🤦‍♀️ Edho pannunga. 😒🚶‍♀️

Vikram lifted the basket.

Vik: Holy Cow! Enna idhu ivlo weight-ah irukku!? Idhunaledhan idhukku elephant foot yam-nu peru vechangalo? 🤪

Sai: 😒

Vik: Aiyo paarkurale paarkurale, dey Vikrama gethu maintain pannuda. 🤪

Vikram carried the basket and began to follow Sailaja.

Vik: Yappa ivlo weight-ah irukke. Nalla vele namma koodaye vandhom illena paavam Sailuma thaniya idhe thooaAAAHHH!!! 😱

Vikram's leg slipped, and he almost fell, but Sailaja held his hand.

Vik: 🙄

Sai: 😳

Sailaja realised what she was doing and quickly helped Vikram stand up straight and removed her hand.

Vik: Thank you, Sailuma. 😜

Sai: Vilundhu sethuradhinge. 😒

Vik: Oh verbal thank you vendama? Seri appo oru umma kudukkata? 😜

Sai: 😳😤 Apdiye vilunganu vitturukkanum! 🚶‍♀️

Vik: Naandhan erkanave vilundhutene Sailuma. 😜

Sai: Adhan moolai kalangi kedakkudhu. 😒🚶‍♀️

Vik: 😂 Hey Wifeyy wait pannu enakkaga. 🚶‍♂️

They walked along in silence until they reached a tiny stream. Sailaja set down her basket and began to wash her hands and equipment.

Sai: Kelange wash pannanum, koodaiye erakkunga. 😒

Vik: Dhodho. 😁

Vikram set down his basket, took out all the yams, and began to wash them.

Vik: Inge environment nalla irukkule? Pollution, traffic, busy life edhuvum illame. Thevaiyanadhu ellam fresh-ah free-ah kedaikkidhu. 😁

Sai: Free-lam ille, avangakitte ketutudhan edhuva irundhalum edukka mudiyum. 😒

Vik: Evanga? 😄

Sai: Avangana avangadhan adhukkumele ketka koodadhu, andha kelange kudunga. 😒

They were scrubbing the yams silently.

Sai: Naan paadhi eduthukuren. 😒

Vik: Aiyo edhuk....

Sai: Indha kadhaiyellam vendam. Neenga vilundhu vaaruna unga appavukku yaar badhi.... 😳

Vik: Enna? 🙄

Sai: Asaiyadhinge. 😳
