Jeevitha reached home and was about to call shreya. Suddenly, her phone displayed,
Tharun
Calling
Tharun: Veetuku poitiyah?
Jeevitha: Vandhuten.. vandhu 15 minutes aaguthu..
Tharun: Apo yen call panni solala?
Jeevitha: Marandhuten.
Tharun: Mmm..bye..
He hung up the call.
She was overjoyed about the day. She dropped the plan of speaking to shreya and went to her own world of dreams.
It was around 1am. She couldn't sleep.
She texted Tharun "Are you on the way to Bangalore???". She gave a missed call to him so that he will see the text. He didn't response. She slept numb.
Next day morning, she called Tharun for more than five times. After an hour, he called back.
Tharun: Enna prechana unaku?
Jeevitha: Tharun... Ooruku poren sona? Poitiya? Reached safely?
Tharun: Na enga iruntha unnaku enna?? Nee yen kekura?
Jeevitha: Ooruku poitiya nu keka kudatha Tharun?
Tharun: Na ketadhuku answer?
Jeevitha: Ila Tharun...nee .....reach....
Tharun(Before she complete): Stop. Anaike sonenla Tharun Tharun nu name solite irukatha nu...
She was pissed off and hung the call.
She felt very bad. She was totally confused by his behaviour. She then called shreya to come to her home.
Shreya arrived after 30 minutes.
Jeevitha and her mom was sitting in living room.
Jeevitha's Mom: Va shreya. Nethu enna romba neram ooru suthirukinga?
Shreya( confused): Naangala?
Jeevitha( Winking): Nethu namma mall ponomla adhu soldranga amma...
Shreya: Ama aunty. Nethu gang ah ponom adhunala late.
Jeevitha's Mom: Enna sapdhureenga lunch ku?
Jeevitha: Edhachu panunga Amma...
They both entered Jeevitha's room.
Shreya: Nee avan kuda oor suthurathuku yen di enaya maati vidra?
Jeevitha: Sorry di. Enga veetla unkuda poren sonah onum solla matangala.. enakaga ithu kuda pana matiya?
Shreya: En neram.. Ama nethu yen solave ila avana paka porenu...
Jeevitha explained everything happened that day. The movie, kfc and about his childhood photos. Shreya starring,
Jeevitha: Yen oru madhri pakura?
Shreya: Neenga commit aagitingala?
Jeevitha: Ada po di.. inaiku nadandhadha ketah ne ipdi sola mata...
Then, Jeevitha told shreya about the way he spoke in call. Jeevitha was very upset with it.
Shreya: Avan unna on and off la potu vachukuran. Ipdi pandra pasangala nambatha.
Jeevitha: Apdina?
Shreya: Avanuku theva apo Nala pesikiran. Matha neram kevalama treat pandran.
Jeevitha: Tharun apdi Elam kedayathu. En Tharun ah thapah pesatha.
Shreya: Na solrathu soliten. Aprm un ishtam.
Shreya was someone who she trusted blindly. She was not able to accept what shreya told about Tharun.
But, even she did not have any answer for his behaviour. So she decided to maintain distance with him.
And it's been 20 days, she didn't try to reach Tharun and he also didn't. She was trying to keep herself busy. So that she will not fall in his thoughts. She was busy collecting all her certificates, B-school formalities through online and shopping. She was almost ready to vacate to hostel.
It was 1 am. While sleeping, Instantly she feels his presence. She woke up and turned on the lights. She was scolding herself for still remembering him. Later, she felt like Tharun wants to talk to her. She thought of texting but again she doesn't want to get insulted by him. There runs a war between her ego and dignity. Her mind told to have her ego and don't talk. Her heart told her to check him if he is okay.. she was silently scrolling his Facebook account, starring at his profile picture.
At that moment, a notification from WhatsApp popped,
"Jeevitha... Thank you for making me smile, when the universe didn't.."
It was Tharun.
She was literally shocked and don't know how to react. She thought to ignore. She turned off net and tried to sleep. But she couldn't.
After few minutes, Another message popped from Tharun,
"Jeevitha."
She again ignored. And this time, he started calling her...
Jeevitha ( in husky voice) : Hello...
Tharun: Helloooooooo.. Police station??
Jeevitha: What??
Tharun: Sir, Jeevitha nu oru ponna kanom, text ku reply pana matra. Kandupidichu kudunga plsssssss..
Jeevitha: Ennachu yen oru madhri pesra?
Tharun: Na nalla dhan di pesren. Nee yen pesala?
Jeevitha: Di ah? Tharun...Are you drunk?
Tharun: Romba romba light ah kudichen. Unaku enna di problem?
Jeevitha: Enga iruka Tharun? Yaru iruka unkuda?
Tharun: Sola maten. Enna di panuva?
Jeevitha: Veetla than ah iruka? Safe ah irukiya?

Jeevitha: Sollu Tharun... Yen ipdi kolandha madhri nadandhukira? Enaku bayama iruku...
Tharun: Romba pasikuthu Jeevitha, veetla onume ila.
Jeevitha dialled Tharun. He picked up,

Jeevitha: Nee enna Lusa? Yaar iruka unkuda? Un address sollu...

He went outside. It was a delivery boy from "Midnight mania". He delivered food and left.
Tharun: Nee dhan order paniya Jeevitha??
Jeevitha: Ama.. saptu thungu... Good night.
Tharun: Address epdi theriyum Jeevitha? Camera vechrukaya en veetla?
Jeevitha: Stop your stupid questions and eat.
Tharun: Na sapdama vechuta enna panuva Jeevitha?
Jeevitha: Saptutu text pannu... Good night Tharun.
She hung up the call. He didn't text her after that. She was waiting for him and was upset. She was confused to the core about him. She didn't want to share this to anyone. She dialled him and he didn't pick the call. She assumed he may have slept and she too went to bed.💙
