Rakshan- "unaku ithu shocking ah illaya papa?"

Athulya- "etho thappa iruku nu already yosichutathala, perusa effect agala anna.. kandipa Gugan ku deepika ponna iruka mudiathunu already yosichutaen"

Karthik- "ipo enna pananum sir?"

Sanjeev- "ungaluku hacking therium, so deepika and gugan oda lap and mobile, hack panni suspicious ah ethavathu irukaa nu check pananum"

Karthik nodded and started his work. 

Sanjeev- "Sujan ithuku munnadi yaroda pattern rights ellam kanama poi irukunu list venum"

Sujan nodded his head. 

Sanjeev- "Rakshan, enaku Gugan veetla camera and mike fix pananum.. neenga thaan ethavathu pananum... "

Rakshan nodded and started to think. 

Sanjeev- "deepika va track pananum. athuku munnadi, Sujan nee engaloda contact la irukaanu deepika ku theiruma?"

Sujan- "illa Sir. inum theriathu. "

Sanjeev- "sounds good. Nee thaniah veedu eduthu thangu. Unoda project la development kondu vaa. Sid oda help eduthuko, but Sid help panrathu yarukum theria koodathu. Deepika voda gavanam un mela varanum. ava unna thedi varanum."

Sujan- "okay Sir. Naan ipove enoda details ah change panren, center site la.."

Durga- "Jeeva, Deepika va nanga handle panikarom. "

Sanjeev looked at her once and then said, "okay.. you plan for her. But updates enaku vanthidanum silvandu"

Durga- "athellam vanthidum.. Nee vaa aththu plan panalam..". Durga winked at Athulya. Athulya, Durga and Sujan moved aside to plan their next move. 

Sanjeev, Rakshan and Karthik started to plan their move and started their work. Sanjeev looked at Athulya once, she looked a little disturbed. He played the FM for Athulya sake. 

FM: Vanakam neyarkale.. neenga ketu kondirupathu 106.4 hello fm. ipo ad podarathuku munnadi, oru manishan urugi urugi avar pondatti ku oru sorry sollirukaaru. Diary nigalchi ketruntheenganna ungaluku therium namma nanbar 'Ratchsiyin Kaithi' pathi.. avar thaan ipo kenja porathu.. ithu varaikum gnayam venanum nu polambinavaru ipo oru vaipu koduma nu kenja poraru.. "

Athulya smiled at the way host gave intro. Durga noticed Athulya' s changes since she got diverted suddenly. Durga then looked at Sanjeev. He winked at Durga and eyed the FM. Durga understood everything. 

FM: "Naan oru muttal Ratchasi, naan ninachukitu irunthen un kodumaigal thaan enna romba thaakuthunu aana athu illa nu ipo puriuthu.. nee kodumai paduthura vida, kodumai paduthama mounama irukuratha ennala thangave mudiala di .. kaathu kooda un uruvathula thaan ena theendi poguthu. ellam therinjirunthum ipadi kodumai paduthina epadi di ratchasi? oru thadava, ore oru thadava manichudu di.

un nilaalodu matum thaan en valkaiah?
nijathai thara un nenjam marukiratha?
un nenjam ennodu illamal unnodu irukirathaaa?"

Athulya smiled at his request with a slight blush.

Durga- "intha plan okay vaa aththu". Athulya blinked at her not knowing what she is saying. 

Athulya- "athu vanthu...... akka thirumbavum solreengala?". Durga chuckled.

Sujan- "yenna aththu nee? enga vachirukura un gavanatha? evlo mukiamana visayam pesitu irukom.. intha plan follow panna antha deepika paithiyam agurathu uruthi"

Athulya- "apuram enna panunga.. enaku konjam light ah thala valikuthu, naan poi coffee potu kudichutu varen yarukachum venuma?"

Karthik- "nee iru papa, nana potutu varen.. ellarukum podaren"

Athulya just nodded and listened to the FM waiting for the mini bytes.

FM: "un idhayathula romba sowriyama valthu palagiten di.. ipo thideernu thorathi vita enga poven? auyul kaithi nu solli thane adachu vacha? ipo thideernu velila vita naan enna panuvaen? un idhayathula un swasathula valtha enaku ipo sariya swasika kooda theriala di Ratchasi.. un kaithi mela irakamae illaya unaku? oru thadava manichudu di.."

Athulya was lost in hearing that. Karthik shook her a little. Athulya blinked at him. 

Karthik- "enna paapa yosichutu iruka? coffee eduthuko". Athulya nodded and got it. 

Rakshan- "papa, etha irunthalum sollu. manasukulla potu marugatha.. "

Athulya- "athellam onum illa anna. chuma yosichaen avlo thaan. enna nalla paaru, naan sogama irukura mathiriya iruku?"

Rakshan and Karthik looked at her once and then at each other. Durga and Sanjeev chuckled. Sujan is deeply thinking about his next move. They started to do their works then. 

FM: Ratchasi, naan epavo panna thappuku ipo nee thanda kodukurathu gnayama? ithukellam naan than karanam nu ninachukitu irukirah? illa.. nee than karanam"

Athulya widened her eyes listening to that. 

FM: "othukida mudialainalum, athu thaan nesam.. porupa nee muthallayae en valkaila vanthiruntheena? ipo naan ipadi ninrupena??"

Athulya chuckled. 

FM:" unna yaaru padipu padipu nu sutha sonnathu. konjamachum, namakaga oruthan namaku mummadiyae poranthu kathirukanae.. pavam avan enna panrano? enna aanano.. sekkram poi avan enna aananu pakanum nu epovachum yosichirukiah? naan enna athukaga un kita kovamava irukaen.. athe mathiri neeum kovatha vitutu vaa di.. ore oru chance kodu di ratchasi, namaku evlo santhosamana valkai irukunu naan kaaturen.."

Athulya eyes shined in happiness. 

Sujan- "happa, intha plan unaku okay vaa aththu, kannu ivlo minnuthu. Enaku therium unaku intha plan thaan okay vaa irukum nu.. thaturom thookurom.. enna aththu solra?"

Athulya blinked at him and smiled awkwardly. Durga laughed louder. Sanjeev too chuckled lightly. 

Rakshan- "enna aachu papa unaku?"

Athulya- 'onum illa anna. romba disturbed ah irunthathu.. athu thaan FM la antha mini bytes ketutu irunthaen.."

Karthik- "enna bytes athu? Prajju kalaila sonnatha?"

Athulya- "hmm, enaku antha 'Ratchasiyin kaithi' id content romba pudikum. athaan chuma ketaen"

Sujan- "ithu un aaluku therium la?"

Athulya- "athellam therium daa. nee eppo irunthu enna pathi kavalapadama un annana pathi matume kavala pada arambicha?"

Sujan- "ipaium naan unna pathi thaan kavala paduren. yerkanave ungalukulla konjam sari illama thaan poguthu. intha nerathula ipo intha id ah pudichuruku nu puthusa ethuvum start panatha"

Rakshan and Karthik looked at each other and gave a meaning full look.

Rakshan- "intha id um avan thane papa?", Athulya blinked. 

Karthik- "intha situation la kooda antha id oda content ku nee importance kodukurana, atha eluthi anupirukurathu avan thane?"

Sujan- "amam la, anna yerkanave ipadi letter eluthirukaaru.. oh, appo pondattikita sorry kekura purushan un aalu thana?"

Athulya bite her lips and nodded her head. 

FM: " Neyarkalae, aduthathaga namma kaithiyin varigal... oru chinna kavithai odu arambichirukaru...

No one talked anything. Athulya looked at Karthik and Rakshan. 

Rakshan- "naanga ethuvum solla porathu illa papa. ithu unakum avanukum naduvulla. neenga pesi mudivuku vaanga"

Athulya looked at Karthik. Karthik averted his gaze from her and moved away. Athulya didn't tell anything. She remained silent. Sujan too remained silent. 

Sanjeev- "ellame ore naal la maaridathu.. kalam ellathaium maathum.. let it be aside. namma aduthu enna panalam nu yosikalam. May be avangala punish panathuku apuram situation change agidalam"

Durga- "enakum Jeeva solrathu thaan sari nu paduthu.. aththu nee head set potu kelu.. itha keta apuram plan panrathuku pathila ellarum feel anna arambichudaranga"

Athulya switched on the FM in her mobile, connected the head set and started to hear. Whereas others are planning everything. In the afternoon, Siddhik came to Rakshan's home. After normal talks, they all planned to go for a mall to buy some needed things. Siddhik and Athulya went to a room to get ready for mall. 

Athulya- "inaiku Sir rendu visayam kandu pudichirukaaru", She looked at him via corner of her eyes.

Siddhik- "oh", he changed his shirt. 

Athulya- "antha deepika gugan oda ponnae illayam"

Siddhik adjusted the shirt in his hand and said, "oho.."

Athulya- "inoru visayam ennana, deepika oru prostitute aam, avala vilaiku vangi gugan inga kootitu vanthirukaaram"

Siddhik then adjusted his hair watching in the mirror and said, "oh"

Athulya - "oh nu sonna enna artham Siddhu? nee ethavathu sollanuma enkita?"

Siddhik- "yes. unaku oru visayam theriuma.. oru paiyan train thadavalathula vilunthu senthu poitanam. udambe train yeri pinchu poi, nasungi poi irunthatham"

Athulya - "achacho, eppo siddhu? news la sonnangala?"

Siddhik- " hmm. inoru visayam theriuma avan annaiku jeans potrunthanam "

Athulya- "haan", she looked at him like 'are you mad?'

Siddhik- "enna amaithiagita.. ethuvum pesama?"

Athulya- "sethu ponavan, jeans potathellam oru visyaama Siddhu..", she then widened her eyes and said, "itha ethuku ippo solra? so deepika prostitute ngra information um ithuvum onna?"

Siddhik smiled at her, pulled her towards him, hugged her waist and asked, "iniaku FM ketiah?"

Athulya- "hmm... ketaen. topic ah maathatha.."

Siddhik- " illa di, mulusa ketiah atha mattum sollu.. "

Athulya- "amam, ketaen. ellarum plan panitu irukum pothu, unna pathiyae yosichutu naduvula divert agitaen.. ore comedy ah pochu", She chuckled with little shy. 

Siddhik- "athe pola thaan nanum un ninaipula moolgi irukaen, suthi nadakurathu theriama.. enna porutha varaikum ipo enaku romba important unna santhosama paathukurathu mattum thaan.  "

Athulya- "appo intha news unaku affect agalaya?"

Siddhik- "illa. ithula enna peria vithyasam irukunu enaku theriala. oru ponnu kita yemanthathu maari oru prostitute kita yemanthutaen nu mariduchu.. avlo thane?"

Athulya looked at his eyes, there is no pain in it. Siddhik took her hand, kept in his chest and pressed it. They both looked at each other for a minute.

Siddhik- "Yaathu, sethupona antha paiyana kooda naan body ah mathipaen. but Deepika va illa.. Nee anaiku sonalla onnu nee deepika va virumbirukanum, illa veruthirukanum nu.. ipo solren naan Deepika va verukuren.. aruvaruppa verukurean. aversion aguthu avala pathi yosichale.. "

Athulya- " ella unmaium therinjathala verukuria Siddhu?"

Siddhik- " illa. Unnoda intha nilamaiku ava thaan karanam. enkita kova padavum illama, un valiah velila kaamichukavum mudiama nee thinarurathuku ava thaan karanam. athukaga thaan verukuren. ", he cupped her cheeks and said, "intha kannula enakana unarvu ethuvume illa di.. thadumatram mattum thaan iruku, atha ninaikum pothu thaan ava mela veruppu adhigamaguthu.."

Athulya hugged him tightly and shed tears. Siddhik patted her. Athulya understood that Siddhik forgot to think about himself. all he think is about her and he is getting mad in loving her. 

They both composed themselves and they started to the mall. Sanjeev, Durga, Rakshan, Karthik, Siddhik, Athulya and Sujan started to the mall. 

They purchased their needed things, at the same time Gugan and Deepika too came there. Soon except Siddhik and Athulya others noticed Gugan and Deepika. Rakshan showed them to Sanjeev and Durga. Siddhik and Athulya moved aside to have their own shopping. Gugan and Deepika noticed the couple. 

Deepika and Gugan entered the shop where Rakshan, karthik, Sanjeev and Durga was present. 

Gugan- "ivanuku mattum epadi ivlo alagana ponnu kidaikuthu?"

Deepika glared at him and asked,  "ava enna vida alaga irukala?' 

Gugan- "ava oruthan matum thota ponnu di.. nee apadiah?"

Deepika- "solikitanga.. avala avan friends kooda thaan adikadi paathaen. "

Gugan- "apadina solra?"

Deepika- "venumna test pani paaru"

Gugan furrowed his eyebrows and looked at Siddhik and Athulya. Rakshan, Sujan and Karthik fisted their hands and was about to move towards them but Sanjeev stopped them. Sanjeev blinked at him to calm down and observe. 

Siddhik and Athulya once done with the selection they moved away. Gugan too went along their path and tried to dash on Athulya.

Within a fraction of second, Siddhik twirled Athulya towards his other side. Gugan was about to lean on him but managed himself. Athulya clutched Siddhik and tried to understand the situation. 

Siddhik slapped Gugan hardly. Rakshan, Sujan, Karthik, Athulya widened their eyes witnessing Siddhik's act. Sanjeev and Durga keenly watched everything. People gathered around them. 

Gugan- "Sid..", he called angrily. Siddhik slapped him again. Siddhik finger marks are there in Gugan's cheeks. 

Deepika- "Sid nee adikurathu un guru vaa..", Siddhik took a knife from the trolley nearby, which belong to another person and throwed at her side without even looking at her. 

Deepika was shocked to the core. It got struck in the nearby pillar where Deepika is standing that too near her neck. Gugan was shocked open mouthed. 

Siddhik raised his one eyebrows at him. His look shivered Gugan. 

Gugan- "sorry sorry naan than .. sorry Sid"
