It's around 2.30 am.. he couldn't sleep that night. So he dialled Karthik (Tharun's cousin and close friend) and told to come to terrace...

CAFE COFFEE DAY
She was waiting near the door for more than 30 minutes. He arrived in a black ford ecosport.
Jeevitha: Hi Tharun..
Tharun: Hi.
They entered the restaurant. The restaurant was in terrace.
They ordered two cappuccinos. Both of them sat opposite to each other.
Jeevitha smiled.
Tharun: Epo vandha?
Jeevitha: 30 minutes dhan wait panen. You look so handsome today.
Tharun: Mmm...
Jeevitha: what special today??
Tharun didn't answer. He was silent looking somewhere.

Jeevitha: Tharun...
Tharun: Sollu ma.
Jeevitha waved a gift and wished him "Happy birthday Tharun💙"
The gift was wrapped and in a sticky note written,
" You are not special just for your birthday, You are special everyday.
Happiest birthday Tharun".
Tharun's mind voice: Ivaluku epdi theriyum en birthday nu, na sonathe ilaye..

Jeevitha: Namma first time meet panirukom, unaku birthday vera.. I want to gift you something , please...
Tharun: Na dhan vendamnu soldrenla. Neeye vechuko. Intha gift pandrathelam enkita vechukatha.
He yelled at her and pushed the gift away and went. Everyone looked at them. She was embarrassed badly. He felt bad. He waited in the car. She came outside and started leaving slowly.
Tharun: I didn't mean to hurt you Jeevitha. Try to understand.
She didn't even look at him. She walked away from that place. He started the car and went to his place.
Karthik: Dei.. yen da ipdi senja? Paavam da antha ponnu..

It was late at night. He was in half sleep, scrolling instagram. He felt like talking with someone, he felt alone. Suddenly, a message popped from an unknown number. Before checking the message, he called the number.
Tharun: Hello!!
Unknown number: ( remained silent)
Both of them remained silent for a while. To break the silence,
Tharun: Yaaru?
Unknown number: ( still remained silent)
Tharun: Maya??
Unknown number: Jeevitha...
Tharun: Jeevitha? Yaru? Epdi en number kedachathu?
Jeevitha: Tharun. Na Un college junior. Unaku ennaya theriyathu.. enaku unna nalla theriyum..
Tharun: whatsapp pannu...
He cut the call while speaking. She texted in whatsapp but he didn't reply that night. And in the morning,
on whatsapp,
Tharun: Good morning Jeevitha.. have a great day.
Jeevitha: Happy morning Tharun..
And it started with this good morning text, they were talking well for two, three days. They shared their images. Jeevitha shared few incidents about him.He could not remember her but still he felt happy speaking to her. Jeevitha is such a talkative and he is such a listener. They planned to meet on May 30💙
