They had lunch in a hotel and returned home. They all went to sleep due to tiredness. Athulya and Siddhik too slept in their room. Siddhik felt some kind of relief in him. He is not sure why he felt like a huge weight rock is taken from him. He had a deep sleep. In the evening, everyone got ready again and moved out. 

Sujan- "padam arambika inu time iruku. Mall pakathula thane iruku. Park poitu apurama polam"

Siddhik nodded his head and they all went to the park. Since it is a weekend, many kids came there to play. Athulya and Pragyan casually mingled with the kids. Siddhik sat in a long chair and watched everything with a smile. Sujan joined them. Malar came and sit with Siddhik. 

Siddhik- "ennachu?"

Malar- " avanga sonna pechayae kekala anna, athaan vanthuten"

Siddhik- " Naan avangala kekala unna kekuren". Malar looked down not knowing what to say.

Malar- "sariah solla theriala anna, future ah pathina bayam, insecurities, negative thoughts. enaku therium elllathaiumae nammalala plan panna mudiathu. ellame namma kaila illanu but, Ella situation-um ore mathiri irukathe anna. difference of opinion varum pothu enna agumo nu bayama iruku. ethavathu thappagiduchunna face panra alavuku naan strong illa anna."

Siddhik- "hmm, Sujan", he shouted from his place. Malar widened her eyes and looked at him. The trio glanced at each other and came near to Siddhik. 

Sujan looked at Siddhik with questioning eyes. He also looked at Malar deeply once. She blinked at everyone.

Siddhik- "naan solra varaikum nee Malar kooda pesa koodathu"

Athulya & Pragyan- "haan", They echoed in shock.

Sujan was shocked and looked at Siddhik. He still maintained his calm posture. Both Siddhik and Sujan eyes are staring at each other. Sujan is unable to guess anything from Siddhik' s eyes.

Sujan nodded his head as okay and said, "sari". Malar stood up on hearing the answer in shock. Pragyan was looking at Siddhik and Sujan.  Sujan again went to the Kids.

Athulya - "ethey? enna nadakuthu inga? Siddhu enna achu?". Siddhik didn't answered anything. But smiled at her.

Malar looked at Siddhik and started to think deeply.  Pragyan went with Sujan without asking anything to Siddhik. 

Athulya- "Enna Siddhu? yen ipo nee Sujan ah pesa koodathu nu sonna?"

Siddhik- "naan Sujan ah matum thane pesathanu sonen". Malar looked at him once and moved away slowly.

Athulya- "ithuku pinnadi ethuvum plan iruka?"

Siddhik- "Yaathu, leave this. avanga konjam yosikatum. inum half an hour la namma kilambalam"

Athulya- "Sujju avangala yosika vidamatikurana? athuku thaan pesatha nu soniah?"

Siddhik- "illa yaathu.. night solren. "

Kid- "akka akka vanga ka". Athulya left out a long breathe glared at Siddhik once and left with the kid. Malar too joined them. 

While playing with the kid, 

Athulya- "dei, avar sonna ipadi onume sollama vanthuta, kekalamla?"

Pragyan- "nee ketiae pathil kidaichatha?"

Athulya- " athu.. avar keka vendiayavanga keta thaan solluvaru"

Pragyan- "nalla samalification aththu.", he looked at Sujan and said, "irunthalum nee yen nu ketrukalam da"

Sujan looked at them with a smile and went from there. 

Pragyan- "pathil solama naluvuratha paathiah? Malar sister, neenga onum ninachu feel panatheenga. Anna sonna oru artham irukum. namma utkanthu pesalam"

Athulya- "amam night vanthu pesalam", She said by lifting a kid. 

Malar- "aththu paathu, methuva thooku.."

Athulya- "haan, mam"

Malar- "naan mam ah solala, unoda akka va solren". Athulya and Pragyan got shocked. Sujan turned around and looked at her.

Athulya- "hey semma , ini enaku neenga akka. Super desicion akka". She hugged Malar. Malar blushed a little with chuckling. Pragyan moved towards Sujan.

Pragyan- "ithu enna concept da. Anna pesatha nu solitaru, intha nerathula thangatchi indirect ah una accept panatha solita. enna da panna pora?"

Sujan- " onum pana porathila, sumam than iruka poren ", he casually said.

Pragyan- "nee yen poi anna kita ennanu keka koodathu"

Sujan- "solla vendiathaa iruntha avane solirupaan, venumna night pesikalam.. Vaa neramachu movie ku ponum"

 Pragyan- "vaanga vaanga neramachu pogalam"

They all started and went to the Mall nearby. Malar often looked at Sujan and it was internally torturing him. They all went inside the theatre. 

Siddhik- "Sujan, entha entha seat book paniruka?"

Sujan- "E row la 3 tickets, apuram ticket kidaikala.. so last row corner la 2 seat", He said in a normal voice. 

Athulya- " dei enda ipadi? saavadikuranugale ennaya", She said in a pleading vadivelu tone. 

Sujan- "ennachu aththu? nee sonna mathiri naan couple seat ellam book panala. Normal seat than aththu"

Siddhik looked at Athulya. Athulya blinked at him like a innocent puppy. Siddhik directly went inside the E row shocking everyone. The trio looked at each other with confusion. Malar chuckled silently watching everyone. Athulya with no other choice went behind him. Sujan and Pragyan don't know what to do now and how to decide. 

Siddhik- "Prajju nee review pathiah? vaa vanthu utkaru. rating enna koduthurukanga intha padathuku"

Pragyan looked at Sujan and Malar once and then went inside the E row stating, " 4.5 nu potrukanga anna"

Sujan and Malar looked at each other. Malar slowly walked towards the last row, corner seat. Sujan looked at Siddhik once. Sujan glared at him and Siddhik smirked at him. Sujan left out a long breathe and followed Malar. 

Athulya- "prajju, ithu oru vithayasamana attempt ah irukulla, pesakoodathu aana pakalam, pakathula utkaralam. "

Pragyan- "ellam okay thaan, aana onume purialayae..", he said in a mocking vadivelu tone. Athulya giggled. 

Athulya and Pragyan turned back once the film started in between some minutes. 

Athulya- "dei, akka etho pesuranga daa. ivan mandaiaya kooda aatala athuku. thalli than utkanthirukaan da"

Pragyan- "oru vela ivan olunga sister pesuratha kekanum nu thaan anna ipadi solirupangalo"

Athulya- "apadi kooda irukumo?"

In the interval, everyone came out to refresh and buy ice cream. Once they bought everything , they all went inside. Siddhik came in first and directly went to the last row, corner seat. Athulya jumped in joy and followed him. They both sat in the corner seats. 

Sujan, Pragyan and Malar looked at each other. Malar first went inside, Sujan followed her and Pragyan followed him. 

In the corner seat, Athulya leaned on Siddhik, placing her face in his chest. Siddhik too wrapped his hands around her. 

Athulya- "Siddhu, yen ipadi ellam panra?"

Siddhik- "night pesa visayam venumla.. athaan"

Athulya pinched his chest and said, "poda". Siddhik gasped in pain and then Athulya caressed it. 

Siddhik- "paduthatha di, nee kilurathum thadavurathum apuram unake vinaya mudinchudum"

Athulya- "chee.. naan enna keta nee enna solra"

Siddhik- "naan unna solama vera enna soluven?"

Athulya- "haan, Siddhu.", she whined.

Siddhik- "konjam padatha paaru di"

Athulya- "ithu ellam padma? padama ya ithu? avan pondattiah ivan vachirukaan ivan pondattiah avan vachirukaan. itha aa nu paaka audience vera."

Siddhik- "ipo unaku padam paaka vendama?", he asked her in his base voice seductively.

Athulya- "oru kadhal kaviyam odum pothu disturb panatha Siddhu", she turned and started to watch. 

Siddhik chuckled and started to watch. His fingers peeked inside the dress and started to draw patters very slowly. 

Athulya- "summa iru Siddhu."

Siddhik- "apuram corner seat ah avamana paduthina mathiri agidum yaathu"

Athulya chuckled and leaned on him. They enjoyed their moments. 

-------------------------------------------------------------------

They reached home once the movie is over after dinner. When Pragyan and Sujan was about to leave to their portion. 

Siddhik- "Prajju, Sujju inga vaanga". They both stand before him. Athulya too stand there. 

Siddhik- "Malar inga vanthu utkaru ma". She sat opposite to him.

Siddhik- "naan ethavathu sonna ivanga rendu perume kepanga, reason kooda avangaluku theva illa. enmela nambikkaiyum mariyathaium avangaluku iruku. Nee sonnathu correct than ella situation um ore mari irukaathu. apadi situation maarum pothu, ivangala thappu pana vidama enala thaduka mudium. ore vela ivanga thappu panirunthalum atha sari panra porupu ennodathu. ivangaluku pudichavanga thappu pani athu ivanga vaalkaiah baathichalum atha sari panna kandipa naan irupen"

Malar had a light tears in her eyes. 

Siddhik- "difference of opinion ellarukum irukum. athu just disccussion ah illama sandaiah poi vilagurathuku niraiah chance iruku. enakum yaathu-kume antha mathiriyana situations vanthiruku. engalukulla irunthu difference in expectations. naanum avalum konjam vilagi irunthirukom munnadi, ore veetla irunthum. appo ivanga rendu perum thaan yaathu kooda irunthu avala guide panathu."

Malar looked at Athulya once and then at the Boys. 

Siddhik- "naama enna seiyurathu nu theirma sila neram thavippom. oru mathiri manasu kooda mounam agidum. antha mathiri nerathula nambikkaiyana oruthar pakathula venum. namaku 'sari ithu thaan' nu solrathuku, namma life ah santhosama mathurathuku. Sila nerangalla self-confidence matum pathathu Malar. pakathula irunthu ithu correct thaan , pannu nu namala encourage panra oruthar venum manasu atha ethir pakkum"

Malar just stared at him. 

Siddhik- "nalaiku difference of opinion unglaukulla varum pothu, opinion vida un mela vachirukura anbu than perusu nu sujju ku solrathuku naanga irukom. Unga rendu perla yaar thapu panalum, ithellam oru visayama nu samathana padutha naanga irukom.. sujju, palaya mathiri ini irukaa matan, avana thappana mudivu ethuvum eduka vidama thadukka naan iruken. avanukulla irukura ego, pidivatham rendaiume thandi avan en pecha kepaan."

Athulya, Sujan and Pragyan looked at each other. Sujan too understand Malar hesitation. 

Siddhik- " Sujan kum yarum illa, unakum yarum illa nu nalaiku sandai nu onnu vantha enna agum nu ninaikatha... ella youngsters um periavangaluku kattupatu illa. Arrange marriage la kooda pala divorce cases iruku.. Pasanaga kattupadurathu athikarathuku illa, anbukkum mariyathaikum thaan. appava ethirku nikura ella pullaium amma solluku thala guninchu ulla pogum. "

Malar- "enaku purinchuduchu anna. soodu vangina poonai ah irunthen anna athaan romba bayama irunthathu. Marupadium en mudivu thappa poiduchuna enna agumnu yosikave bayama irunthathu anna. Sujju, yarukum adangi naan pakala. aththu, prajju pecha avan kepaan, but avangale sari thappu nu pakama avanuku support panuvanga.. anaiku oru naal neenga avana katupaduthineenga aana athuku apuram perusa avana ethuvume kandukala.. Aththuvu- kaga thaan avana iruka vacheenganu ninachen."

Siddhik chuckled and said, "Malar, avan thappu pana thadukathu matum thaan en vela. avan valkaiah avan thaan valanum avan istapadi. athula naan thalayida maaten. avan romba tension aana matum than confuse aavan mathapadi naan avanuku thava illa"

Siddhik told the last line mockingly looking at Sujan. Sujan glared at Siddhik.

Malar chuckled and said, "ipadiye epavum irukaathu aana. nalaiku enga rendu perukulla sandai vantha, kovichukitu avan velila kandipa povan. pesa matan. ellarum kovathula panrathu thaan. aana enaku bayama irukum, enga enna vitu poiduvanonu, avan vitutu pona aduthu enna agum nu bayama irukum. Aththu, Prajju kooda avana than support panuvanganu enaku nambikkai iruku. apuram,  sandai potathu thappo nu thonum, manasula ullatha ini solla koodathunu thonum... antha samayathula bayanthu bayanthu enna intha valkai nu thonidum anna. athuku thaan romba yosichen. ippo purinchuduchu, neenga irukeenganu. engalukulla sandai vantha, avanuku evlo kovam vanthalum unga pecha kepan. neenga enaku support panalainalum, avana porumaiah iruka solluveenga. enaku eduthu solla aththuvum, prajjuvum pothum. Ellam sari agidum nu nambikkai iruku anna.. avan pesama iruntha kooda evlo akaraiah irupan num innaiku pudinchuthu anna."

Athulya- "appo ini ellam okay va? kalyana velaya pakalama?". Malar blushed and looked down. 

Pragyan- "naanga onum sujju ku blind ah ellam support pana matom, aana..."

Athulya- "enna onnu vitu koduka matom avlothaan" , They both said in a teasing tone. Malar smiled.

Siddhik chuckled and said "Sujju ini nee pesikalam". Sujan looked at Malar once and looked down with a smile.

Pragyan- "pesi kalayanam nichayam panratha pathukuren. neenga enna anna pesatha nu solli kalyanatha fix paniteenga". Everyone chuckled.  

Siddhik- "sari ellarum poi thoongunga", he left to his room. Athulya followed him. Pragyan too went. 

Malar- "en mela kovama?"

Sujan- "illa, ennala purinjuka mudiuthu. ipo varaikume ennala anna nu koopda mudiala avana. Bayam evlo peria pathipa kodukum nu enaku nallave theirum. unaku ipo irukura konja konja bayamum nammala oruthar oruthar palagi purinjukira sariah poidum.". 

Malar nodded her head and said, "unnoda bayamum oru naal vilagidum, inaiku enaku vilagina mathiri.. Naan irupen un kooda"

Sujan hugged her gently and mumbled in her ear, "waiting to live a life with you"

Malar eyes widened and looked at him with a shock. Sujan kissed her forehead and said, "romba naala kathiruken di kudumbama vaala. seekram sollu"

He left leaving her in shock.
