The trio reached their home and saw Siddhik is arranging everything. Pragyan joined Siddhik and helped him. Athulya went to her room and Sujan started to watch TV.  Sujan slowly looked around the environment. He searched for Malar.

Siddhik - "Malar ku inum class mudiala.. inum konja nerathula mudinchudum"

Sujan took his bike key and went out to pick up malar. Siddhik smiled. 

Pragyan- "epadi na avan thedurathu therium"

Siddhik- "athellam irukatum. inum evlo nalaiku nee phone layae pesitu iruka pora?". Pragyan remained silent. 

Siddhik- "enna prachanai nu sonna thane therium? rendu naala nee sari illa. enna achu?"

Pragyan- "naan nalla than anna iruken.", he said in a dull tone.

Siddhik- "poi sonna, nambura mathiri sollu prajju", He smirked and said. 

Pragyan- "ava job ku try panna anna, aana kidaikala.. athan konjam sandai vanthuruchu. inga varanum nu pidivathama iruka. evlo sonalum purinchuka maatikura. ellathaium paakanumla anna, epadi puria vaikurathune puriala "

Siddhik- "inga varathula unaku enna prachanai?"

Pragyan- " neengalum avaluku support panatheenga anna."

Siddhik- "kanmoodi thanama oru visayatha thappuno sarino namburathu thappu, prajju"

Pragyan- "appo avala ava istathuku vida solreenga? inga vanthu velai theduren nu solra. veetla velai kidachuruchunu poi solikaren nu solra. ellathukum epadi sarinu mandaiya aaturathu.. avala paathukurathu enaku peria visayam illa. aana.. "

Siddhik- "oru visayatha solli puriavaika mudialaina senju puriavaikanum prajju. Nee avala vara sollu..". Pragyan looked at him with confusion.

Siddhik- "inga vanthu velai thedatum, oru vela kidaichuruchuna santhosam thane, She is right at her vision nu prove agum. unna pathina yetkam kooda, avaloda diversion ah irukalum. Nee Kooda iruntha ava inum konjam concentrate panni, velai kidaikalam la"

Pragyan- "suppose kidaikalaina"

Siddhik- " athu inum simple, avaluke kidaikala nu therinjidum. apuram thirupi veetuku pogatum. veetla keta, oru china thappu panen velai poiduchunu samalikatum.. nee poi ponnu ketu kalyanam panni kootitu vanthidu.. avlo thane .. velai kidaicha konja naal love panunga. velai kidaikaati rendu perum kalyanam panikonga. Just try it."

Pragyan- " ithu ivlo simple ah anna? ", he asked him in an amazing tone.

Siddhik- "athu theriala.. aana romba complex um illa, nee manasa potu kolapikura alavuku.. avala vara sollu, unakume oru thelivu kidaikum.. Un sambalathula thaan nee unga life ah papa. athuve avaluku sincere ah velai theda motivate pannum. unakum ethir kalatha shape panna use agum. Future ah orualvuku plan panna help panum."

Pragyan- "ithu thappu illaya?", he hesitated.

Siddhik- "thapa nadanthukaatha varaikum thappu illa. nammala nesikuravangalaku namma than thunaiah irukanum, support pananum. naama irangi pona avanga valanju koduka arambichuduvanga. Try panni paaru"

Pragyan gave it a thought, smiled and nodded at him. Pragyan completely understood what Siddhik meant, his eyes shined. Pragyan went to hall and Siddhik returned to his room. Athulya is sitting in the bed. 

Siddhik- "yen kitchen kulla varama, thirumbi vanthuta"

Athulya- "naan vanthathu epadi therium?". Siddhik smiled at her. 

Athulya- "annanum thambium romba aarvama pesitu iruntheenga athan varala. "

He gave her the coffee. She drank and started to do her assignments. Siddhik started to prepare for the class for sometime and then went to prepare dinner. 

Malar- "naanga panrom anna, neenga ponga."

Siddhik- "ethavathu help panatuma?"

Sujan- "naanga irukom athuku..". Siddhik looked at him with a smile and went. 

Malar- "nee yen epopaaru ipadiye pesitu iruka anna kita?"

Sujan- "athunala enna? enaku ipadi pesa than pudichuruku avan kita.. avana vambilutha thaan thookam varuthu."

Malar- "enamo poo, antha vengayatha vettu"

Sujan- " vengayam vetturatha.. please vera ethavathu velai koden", he asked her with pitiful eyes.

Malar- "yen vetina enna?", she had his hand in her hip and asked him. 

Sujan- "vetalam perusa onum illa. enna irunthalum nee enna kan kalangama paathukanum illaya? athuku thaan sonen"

Malar- "apadi ellam naan yosikala.. intha vettu", She gave him the onion and glared. 

He started to peel it with a cute pout. She struggled to hide her smile. They both started to cook with their own moments.

Time passed. They all had dinner with little fun banters about the movies. Siddhik silently watched everything with a little smile. Malar too joined the trio and teased. Once they are done, 

Athulya- "Siddhu oru walking polama.. enaku konjam velila ponum pola iruku". Siddhik nodded and they both started to walk. 

Siddhik- "enna aachu Yaathu, enna yosichutae iruka?"

Athulya- "onum illa, oru letter vasichen, athula oru question ketrunthanga. reply pananum nu asaiah iruku. but answer theriala"

Siddhik- "enna question? yaar ketathu"

Athulya- "oru ponnu eluthiruntha, enaku yaar peru ellam solraa. antha ponnoda puguntha veetla ellarume semma talent ah irukangalam. romba arivu jeevigalam. .". Siddhik chuckled.

Athulya- "sirikama kelu Siddhu. konjam pasamavum irukanga pola. purushanuku avala pudikumam. mathavangala impress pana suthama therialayam. ellar manasulaium konjamachum idam pudikanum nu intha ponnuku asaiyaam. athunala, Arivaligalai ariva use pannama impress panrathu epadi? nu ketrukanga"

Siddhik laughed at her statement. 

Athulya- "pch, poo kindal panni sirikura". She pouted, moved a little away and stood turned to the other side with folded hands. He walked around her with a chuckle.

Siddhik- "nee sonna vitham nalla irunthathu di, rasichu sirikurathu thaappa"

Athulya- "ellathukum asaradikura pathila yaar kita thaan kathukario. kaal valikuthu konjam engayachum utkaralama?"

Siddhik - "inga enga utkarurathu?". 

Athulya- "intha suvathu mela yethi vidu. please. konja neram".

The wall is half built and it is raised up to the hip of Siddhik, it has the width sufficient enough to sit. Siddhik lifted her and made her sit comfortably. he didn't sat instead he leaned on the wall next to her and hold her hand. They are not aware that some persons are watching them. 

Athulya turned towards him and said, "naan evlo serious ah solren. sirikama, mudincha ithuku answer sollu"

Siddhik placed his hands on the either side of her as if locking her and said, "arivaligala matum illa, yar manasilaiume idam pudikanumna athu namma unmaiah nermaiah anbah irunthaale pothum, namma anbu avangaluku thaana therinjidum.."

Athulya automatically clutched his shirt and talked "poi sonna anbu illainu artham agiduma.. poi laium anbu iruku.. nee poove unakaga padam paathirukuriah Siddhu?"

Siddhik wrapped his hands around her and talked,  "hmm, pathirukiren.. athula Vijay poi solli ellaraium yemathuvaru. avar thaan avangaloda peran nu."

Athulya' s hands unknowingly played with her shirt buttons, she looked at him and said, "hmm, semma padam. athula inthu onnu than unaku gnabagam iruka?  avar sonna poila onum thappu illa. apo thane rendu kudumbathaium sethu vaika mudium. athu onnu yemathura kanakula varathu.."

Their actions are completely different form the topic which they are speaking. It is like they need something to speak in their private moments. They don't want cheesy dialogues and want to mingle, want to get close naturally. 

Siddhik- "athu onnu thaan option nu illayae, yaathu.. Odipona avanga relative ah first thedi pathirukalam. kandupudichu avangala appraoch pani, help ketu... sangeetha va kootitu vanthu, rendu peruma senthe rendu kudumbathaium sethu vachirukalam la.. apo poi solanum nu avasiyam illalala.. ", He adjusted her hair and placed it behind her ear.

Athulya- "avanga othukanum la.. maten nu solitanganna?", She slide her head a little to ask him the question. 

Siddhik cupped her cheeks rubbed her nose with his and said, "kadhalichu odi poi santhosama valravanga, kadhalikuravangaluku uthava matangala?.. sari ipadi yosi, than ponna yarune theriatha oruthan kooda thanga othikitavanga, avanga kudumbam onnu serurathuku anupa matangala?". 

Athulya gave it a thought and said, "ipo nee enna than solla vara?"

Siddhik moved her hand from her cheeks and placed it on her either side again while stating, "mudincha alavuku unmaiah irunkanum. Mudaithapo thaan poi solanum enna porutha varaikum. Rendu kudumbamume Vijay mela evlo pasam vachirupanga. Ellarume thanoda mudivula irunthu, kolgai la irunthu, thanoda uruthila irunthu mariduvanga. ellathukum asthivaramae Vijay mela irukura paasam thaan. aana, antha padathula entha uravala avanga pasatha vachangalo antha urave poi thaan. Padathoda end la kalyanam panika soli ketappo kooda, avangalukaga Vijay avara mathika muyarchi kooda pana maatar. ellaraium vitutu poiduvaru, ellariaume yemathitu."

 Athulya had her hands in her hip and asked "nee enna ipo VIjay ah kutham solra.."

Siddhik chuckled, knocked her head with his head and said,  "illa yaathu. naan apadi solala.. just enaku thoninatha sonen. padam success aganum nu apadi eduthurupanga. athunala thane ipo unga ellarukum pudikuthu.."

Athulya left out a long breathe and thought, 'appo ipadi than Rakshan annavum niniapara? aandava.. ithunga kita poi soli onum pana koodathu polayae.. Rakshan anna onum kovama illaye Siddhu mela.. nalaike poi unmaiah solli, nadantha ellathaium therinjuka vendiathu thaan. epadiavathu ivangala onnu sekanum. Yen Siddhu ini yaraium miss panna koodathu.', She looked at Siddhik while thinking about the last two lines. 

Siddhik kissed her forehead and asked, "enna peria yosanai?"

Athulya placed her one hand on his shoulder and the other hand on his head and said, "intha mandai ipadi thaan yosikuma? yen neenga intha Vijayoda love feeling ellam yosika mateengala?"

Siddhik- "sari naan onnu kekuren. Vijay-um one side love than panaru, Sangeetha-vum one side love than pananga.. aana, nee padam pakum pothu yaroda love success aganum nu ninacha". 

Athulya blinked at him and gave him a get caught look. 

Siddhik- "unmaiah sollu", he teased her with a chuckle.

Athulya- "sangeetha thaan. Vijay um Sangeetha vum seranum nu thaan asaipaten"

Siddhik- "yen yaathu, Vijay oda love feeling unaku therialaya? nee ipadi than yosipiah", He imitated just like her, exactly like her.

Athulya panted a little in anger and started to beat him saying, "epadi ellam madakura enna. dei Siddhu, nee romba mosam. ipadi ellam pesa unaku yaar kathu thantha.. ". He was laughing badly for her beatings. He enjoyed. His eyes sparkled. 

Siddhik in between his laughing, "Yaathu , pothum vidu. Yaadhu.. "

Athulya pouted and turned aside with shining eyes. Naughtiness is filled in that. Siddhik cupped her cheeks and muttered, "sari sari sorry. avan poi sonathula thappu illa. okay vaa"

Athulya- "poo da nee onum othuka vendam", She jumped from the wall, and walked in anger with a pout. 

Siddhik followed her and tickled her. She started to jog a little to escape from him. 

Athulya- "Siddhu venam vidu", She ran a little with giggling. 

Siddhik with full of naughtiness said, "nee kovama iruka, iru unna naan ipo pudichu samathana paduthanum", He too ran behind her with giggling. It is easy for him to catch her. But he enjoyed playing with her and so he followed her with jogging. 

Athulya -'ethey!! .... dei, naan onum kovama illa. sonna kelu", She said in between her running. She know that he will kiss her and the thought itself made her to turn pink due to blush.

Siddhik- " Anga paaru un kannam kovathula sevakuthu itho vanthuten..", He too ran behind her playfully.

Athulya- "haan, naan sikka mataenae.. ", She ran around.  

After a while, He caught her. He gave her some minutes to gather herself. Within a second, she escaped and again ran. This time he caught her the next second, pulled her towards him, lifted her a bridal way and kissed her cheeks. Once he caught her, She didn't protested and allowed him to do as per his wish.  

Athulya- "Siddhu", She put her hands around his shoulder. 

Siddhik then kissed her lips soulfully. Athulya too lost herself in the kiss. They both parted when there is a need for air. He then lead to his house having her in his hand. 

Athulya hugged him and looked at him. Siddhik smiled at her while walking 

Athulya mind voice- "nee ipadi sirichute santhosama iruka naan enna venalum panuven Siddhu. Seekram unmaiah therinjukitu una Rakshan anna kooda sethu vaikuren. Karthi anna sonnapo kastama irunthathu Siddhu, ini unna thaniah iruka vida maten Siddhu. I promise. Inum konja naal than, apuram unaku thanimai kidaiyathu"

Athulya buried herself in his chest. Siddhik hugged her as a reflex and walked happily.

They happily enjoyed the moment without knowing that they were followed and observed by some persons.
