"Yenna da machan. Adisiyama neeye call pannirke?", Arjun asks.
In the background Anirudh hears Ayira's voice, 'Dei Arjun vidu da, yennaku vela irruku'
"Yennada pannitu irruke", Anirudh sighs.
"Adhuva, adhalam unakku puriyadhu. Nee vishiyatha sollu", Arjun says snickering.
Anirudh makes a face before asking, "Thaniya dhana irruke?"
"Ama", Arjun says.
"Seri. So, I have decided to confess to Malar.", Anirudh admits.
Arjun smiles, "About time. So your wondering when to do it and stuff?"
"Hmm", Anirudh asks.
"Yedam lam specific ah edhum ille, If you yourself feel any place is special or if you feel the moment is perfect then confess to her.", Arjun says.
"Seri da, but I am so scared. Yenna pudikalena?", Anirudh asks.
"Dei seriously, unga rendu perum thavare matha yellarukum theriyithu you guys love each other nu. Why will she get jealous or why will she care for you if she doesn't like you?", Arjun asks.
"Therilaiye.", Anirudh says hesitantly.
"Machan, nee ava kitta solradhu dhan better. Avalikey unna pudikala nalum, you confessed your feelings and you won't have any regrets in life. Purinjitha?", Arjun says.
"Hmm purinjithu.", Anirudh says.
Anirudh snaps his head, when he hears Malar ask, "Yenna purinjithu?"
"Oh a-adhuva, ille Arjun ah few days a meet panle, adhan thitran. So call panni inform panna sonna, adhan purinjithu nu sonee.", Anirudh lies.
Malar nods.
"Superah samalikiriye da", Arjun snickers from the other side.
"Nee vaiya moodu. Na vekren, bye.", Anirudh says.
"Bye", Arjun says before cutting the call.
"Kelambulama?", Anirudh asks Malar before they both walk out of the studio.
Radhika smiles and greets Anirudh as he enters, "Va pa, velaila mudinjirucha?"
"Mhm aunty, ellam mudijiruchu", Anirudh nods.
"Amma pasikidhu", Malar whines.
"Iru di, konjam nerathula ready ayidum. Va vanthu help pannu", Radhika says dragging Malar to the kitchen.
Anirudh walks to the hall to see Sarath Kumar sitting on the couch.
"Hi uncle", Anirudh grins settling next to him.
Sarath Kumar smiles, "Yeppadi da irruke?"
"Nan superaa iruken uncle. Ama Sakthi yenga?", Anirudh responds.
"Vera yenga room le irrupan", Sarath Kumar says.
Anirudh nods before excusing himself and walking to Sakthi's room.
Anirudh peeks in and is amused to see Sakthi is grinning like a maniac looking at his phone.
"Yenna bro Sadhana va?", Anirudh grins teasing Sakthi.
Sakthi looks up startled and flushes a little.
Anirudh smiles knowingly, "Malar sonna. Neenga sema lucky."
Sakthi shakes his head, "Don't be so formal and I am really lucky. Yennalaiya namba mudiyala."
"Apo seri Machan, Kalyanam yeppo?", Anirudh asks sitting next to Sakthi on his bed.
"Adhuku innum few months irruka da, ippo dhane pathirikom", Sakthi says.
"Ama, unakku girlfriend lam irundhadhey illaiya?, Anirudh asks.
Sakthi smiles a little sadly, "Girlfriend ille, ana oru unrequited love irundhidhu. After her, I lost interest in dating and stuff until Sadhana."
Sakthi smiles shyly at the mention of Sadhana.
"Bro you are so whipped", Anirudh snickers.
Sakthi smiles, "I know, ana Sadhana kitta Anushka ve pathi sollanuma illaiya nu therile."
"Solradhu dhan best. Neenga ippove sonna da you can build trust. If she gets to know later in the relationship adhuku waste a fight lam varom. So sollidinga. Also unga mela yendha thappum ille anyways. You loved a girl until you didn't.", Anirudh shrugs finishing his monologue.
Sakthi stares impressed, " Wow bro, Malar is really lucky."
Anirudh blushes, "Yen bro? Ama ungaluku yepdi theriyum? Uncle sonnara?"
"Unga rendu perum patha yaaru venalum apdi dhan sollivanga. Seekrama sollidu da", Sakthi advises.
Anirudh sighs and nods, "Theriyum, seekrama sollnu ne plan irruku."
Both of them look up too see Sarath Kumar walk into the room.
"Yenna thaniya vitutu, Inga yenna da panringa.", Sarath Kumar says joining them on the bed.
"Nangala? Mathi mathi advise panikurom.", Anirudh says snickering.
"Apdi yenna advice?", Sarath Kumar asks curious.
"Unmaiya pesunum, no regrets", Anirudh says not willing to elaborate.
"Appo yen ponnu kittey confess panna pore?", Sarath Kumar says.
"Yepdi uncle?", Anirudh asks with wide eyes, "Yepdi kandupudichinga?"
Sarath Kumar laughs, "It was obvious. Seri va sapdalam. Radhika keela irundhu romba nerum ah kathitu irruka."
The three of them walk down to see Malar setting the table.
"Yenna onna varinga?", Malar asks suspiciously.
"Nangelam bathroom ponom.", Anirudh says grinning.
"Oh ok.", Malar says before getting confused,"Yedhu onna va?"
Sakthi, Anirudh and Sarath Kumar burst out laughing making Malar shake her head and walk back to the kitchen.
After lunch, Malar drags Anirudh to her bedroom to show him around.
"Yedhuku di ivlo arvam yenna Inga kootitu vandhe?", Anirudh smirks.
Malar slaps his arms, "Take your mind out from the gutter. I wanted to show you around."
Anirudh looks around the room seeing posters of Bruce Lee, Arnold Schwarzenegger, James Bond, Leonardo DiCaprio.
"Wow, you are a fan of all the old classic movies", Anirudh says surprised.
"Of course, These movies are amazing.", Malar says sitting on the bed.
Anirudh sits next to her and patiently hears as Malar starts chattering about all these movies.
"Thala edhavidhu valikudha?", Malar says placing her hand on his forehead and checking for fever.
"Ille, yen?", Anirudh asks frowning.
"Usually edhavidhu reply pannuve ille tease pannuve. Innaiku silent ah irruke adhan ketten", Malar says.
Anirudh smiles shaking his head, "Adhallam onnum ille, I'm okay."
Anirudh suddenly thinks weather he should confess to her now? They were alone and Malar seemed in a happy mood.
"Malar na-", Anirudh starts.
Malar turns to him expectantly, waiting for him to finish his sentence.
"Na v-vandhu-", Anirudh tries again.
Malar raises her eyebrows amused, "Yenna? Sollu."
"Adhu vandhu n-na u-nna", Anirudh stutters.
Malar sighs glaring at him, "Dei orunga sollu."
"Yennaku romba tired a irruku, na inga thoongita?", Anirudh suddenly blurts making Malar's eyes widen.
"What?", Malar asks confused before she bursts out laughing.
"Idha solle dhan ivlo kashta pattiya?", Malar asks laughing even harder.
Anirudh glares at her huffing.
"Seri seri kochikadhe, vaa vandhu paduthiko", Malar says pulling Anirudh closer.
Anirudh lies down as Malar sits at the foot of the bed. Anirudh pats the side of his bed, indicating Malar to lie down with him.
Malar glares at him slapping his leg, "Romba dhan asai."
"Edhavidhu pesu", Anirudh mumbles sleepily.
Malar then continues talking about her favorite movies and heroes, as Anirudh slowly falls asleep.
Malar stops talking after about 5 minutes to see Anirudh sound asleep. Malar smiles thinking he looks cute while asleep. She gets up silently, before grabbing the bed sheet and covering him.
The door suddenly opens and Sakthi enters saying, "Malar, Ani-" but is cut off when Malar glares at him gesturing him to shut up.
Sakthi smirks when he sees Malar pulling the bed sheets up to Anirudh's chest.
"Nan edhuvum sollale ma, nee continue pannu", Sakthi whispers smirking making Malar blush.
"Dei apdi lam edhuvum ille", Malar whispers back furiously.
Sakthi nods his head amused, "Nan nambiten", before walking out.
Malar gives one last look to the sleeping Anirudh, a smile automatically making its way to her face.
Suddenly her eyes widen in alarm. 'Shit, I'm whipped', she thought before hurrying from her room, not before closing the door slowly.
