Siddhik- "Its okay ma, please alatha. Nee alugurathala nadanthathu maaridathu ma. pothum aluthathu. ethavathu kudika tharava?". He cupped her cheeks and wiped tears while muttering those lines. Athulya nodded as no to him.


Pragyan and Sujan looked at each other once. They left the house leaving the couples behind. 

On the outside, 

Pragyan- "ethuku daa ipadi ellam mudinchu nu sonna?"

Sujan- "summa poi solikite pona kandipa matipom, athu thaan ipadi sonen. ava alugura alugai ku intha poi suit agum.. nee vaa, ini un anna paathupaan"

On the inside,

Siddhik- "konjam iru naan ethavathu eduthutu varen.. "

Athulya- "vendam naan tharen, neenga refresh agitu vaanga", she composed herself. 

Siddhik- "inga paaru, mooku ellam pink colour agiduchu. kannelam red agiduchu. kaathu kooda sevanthu pochu. ipadiya aluva? manasuku kastama thaan irukum, athukaga aluthatha sariah poiduma.. aduthu enna pananum nu yosika vendama?"

Athulya looked at him with a blank face. 

Siddhik- "visayam kelvi pata unake ipadi iruke, appo avanga family la evlo kastapaduvanga? Nee ipadi aluthutu iruntha apuram avangaluku epadi aruthal solluva? pavam la avanga"

Athulya mind voice- "correct thaan Siddhu. unaku romba valichurukum, piriyum pothu.. Naan than unaku aaruthala irukanum, Sorry Siddhu naan un life la late ah vanthathuku.", Fresh tears flow from her eyes. 

Siddhik- "paaru marupadium alugura.. iru naan poi coffee eduthutu varen. muthalla konjam relax aagu.". He gave her coffee and then went to refresh himself. 

Siddhik- "iniaku velila order panikalam. sariah?", Athulya just nodded. 

Everything happened in silence. Siddhik just sat near to her. Athulya leaned on his shoulder. She need that peace. They didn't converse anything. Pragyan and Sujan came and noticed them. But didn't reacted anything.

They all had dinner in silence. Athulya had a sad face but she didn't cried. He stopped her cries, but still she is sad. Pragyan and Sujan just observed everything. Siddhik didn't muttered anything to her but always be next to her. 

Once they finished dinner, Pragyan and Sujan went to their portion. Siddhik and Athulya sat in the hall. 

Siddhik- "variah madiku polam.. relax ah irukum". Athulya nodded. They both went to upstairs and walked around the space. 

Siddhik- "enna venum Athulya?"

Athulya- "mandaikulla etho onnu odite iruku. athu poganu,. enaku ipo ellam marakanum, Siddhu.", 

She said with mild tears in her eyes. They both sat on the bench there. 

Siddhik hold her hands and said, "Nee share panna thaan ennala ethuvume seiya mudium Athulya. enna nadanthathu nu theriama enala enna panna mudium?"

Athulya looked at him calmly and said, "nee kooda than nadanthatha share pana matikureenga. maraikureenga", she said looking at his eyes. 

Siddhik smirked and said, "naan share panama vitathu en valkaila mudinchu pona oru visayatha. thirumbi ninaika vendam nu naan verukura oru visayatha. aana, nee ipo nadakuratha kooda enkooda share panala Athulya.."

Athulya sat rooted not knowing what to say for this. She felt like she is caught again.

Siddhik- " namma rendu perum ore college la thaan irukom. unaku oru kastam na nee enkita solla matiah? unna nalla pathukanum nu thaan naan enoda college la sethaen. naana oru visayatha therinchukiratha vida nee enkita manasu vitu pesanum nu ninaikuren ma"
