***********Earlier
in the Day************
Kathir had
actually brought the bike instead of his usual TVS 50. Just for today. As he
expected, she was pleasantly surprised and expressed the same with her broad
smile and an excited…
“Ayyyyeeee…
Bike la vandhurukeeghala?”
K: Aamam..
aamam…
M: Ennaiya kootitu
poren na?
K:
(Aagasathula medhakaraloo? Konjam tharailayum kaal irukatum)
Saraku delivery kuduka Saravanan vandi venumnu
sonnan… adhunala dhaan… Ean? Nee bike la than varuveeyo?
M: mmmhmmm…
She
whispered to herself – Raathri avlo anbha pesitu, kalaila avlo aasai aasaiya
nadanthukitu, ipo thirupiyum maram earitaagala?
K: Enna anga
munumununghara?
M: Onnum
ilengha…
He climbed
the vehicle, seated comfortably and took the bag from her, placing it safely in
the front.
He once again turned towards her and said,
K: Vandhu
utkaaru. Sonna dhan varuviyo?.. ey…. Apparam
…. Nalla Pudichitu utkaaru! Vizhundhu vaikadha… 😉
M: Adhalem
vizhamatom… :-/
K: Unnoda
varalaru vera madhri iruke ma!
She sat at
the pillion comfortably and took hold of Kathir’s shoulders.
K: Nalla
utkaandhutiya? Pogalama?
M: hmmm… Pogalamgha!
Kathir rode
the bike very carefully knowing their riding history. He doesn’t want to jinx
his luck or get her hurt. He also went around the town to reach the destination
siting different reasons from time to time, though none was a lie.
Mullai on
the other hand was cursing herself for not taking hold around his waist when
the opportunity presented itself, earlier.
“ Indha
madhri marupadiyum epo avugha unna bike la kootitu povaghanu yosichiya? Adhan
nalla pidichitu utkaaru nu sonnarla… appave andha chance ah use panni irukanum…
“
“Ipo nee
kaiya mathinena, aayiram kelvi varum.. hmmm… seriyana loose Mullah nee…”
As they
were crossing the usual tender coconut vendor, he stopped and offered to get
her a tender coconut. He remembered her words from last time about her wish of being
able to go out and eat there, rather than at home.
M: Ipo vaa?
K: Ean?
Elaneer kudika neeram lam pakkanumo?
M: Appadi
ila! Raathri mazhai peinjithu ila?
K: Raathri
thaana? Ipo unnaku elaneer venuma? Vendama?
M: Venum….
K: (He thought to himself) Ivaluku onnu seiyalam nu nenaichalum, kelvi ketae andha
aasaiya viratiduvaa…innimel iva kita ketkama seiyuda kathiru! Apparama thitina kooda vangikalam...
Now to the
shopkeeper,
Annae! 2
elaneer kudungha…
They slowly
finished the tender coconut and once again started the journey. As they were
going, Kathir’s phone rang. It was Dhanam at the other end. He stopped the
vehicle in the left and picked the call, gesturing Mullai to not get down or
make a noise.
K: Sollunga
Anni!
D: Kathiru!
Madhiya saapadu ready ah iruku! Vandhu eduthukiriya? Kadaiku koopiten… Jeeva
nee veliyila dhaan iruke nu sonnan.. Adhaan nanae koopitukiren nu solli
koopiten…
K: Seri
Anni… Konjam nerathula vandhudaren…
D: Ahhnnn
Kathiru… Apparam, konjam sweet, palakaaram lam vaangitu variya? Veetla ellam
mudinjidhu.. Kannan vandhalum ketpan.. Meenavum ketukite irundha! Appadiye ice
cream vaangitu vandhudu da!
K: Ennadhu?
Ice cream ah? Indha Mazhai peiyura nerathulaya?
D: Aama
da.. ipo sapita super ah irukum... Jolly ya irukum…
K: Seri
anni… Ellam vaangitu, innum konjam nerathula veetuku varen…
He cut the
call and informed Mullai that they are taking a small detour for a snacks shop.
To be Continued…..
