Two years before if anyone told her that she will be longing to see a mere sight of a man who just know her existence in the same neighborhood. Definitely she would laughed at them. But now, everything changed upside down.
It's been 2 weeks and there is no sight of him. She knows that anyone who would have undergone a leg surgery can't get out of their bed easily. Even after that she is hoping to see him in the front logue of his house.
(Poor girl...)
Vasuki: Enna ma etho aazhntha sinthanai la irukinga polaye??
Sam: Onnu illa chumma thn ma..
Vasuki: Apdia nee nethu appa vangitu vantha sweet sapdalela na venuna eduthutu varata.
Sam thought for a moment and then..
Sam: Seri entha kadaiku poi enna vangitu varanum.
Vasuki: Oii ethathu vela na matum thn unaku na snacks eduthu tharuvena enna?
Sam: Of course.. Seri sollunga ipo na enna pannanum?
Vasuki: Illa pa.. Kadaiku la illa.. Kasthuri enna konjam maavu arachitu vara sonna, vara valila kudukanunu nenachen maranten da.. Nee poi kuduthutu matum vanthudria?? Nalla papa la?? Poitu varia?
Her heart literally danced for a second and wanted her mother to be hers for her seven lives.
Of course she have to put up a act before agreeing and done that successfully.
In this two weeks she was waiting for this moment. But now her legs are failing to keep up to her heart excitement.
She stood in front of his home and pressed the bell. There is no sign of anyone. She again pressed the bell and heared a faint voice.
Rudra: Door lock la illa.. Ulla vanga
Her breathe is stopped for a second.
Sam mv: Finally... Ey eruma watch man velaia pakka vantha ulla po.
Normal mode ku va ma..
She came out of her trance state and entered into his house.
She saw him sitting in the Hall watching a movie. His leg is placed in the table with a big bandage wrapped around it. His hands are covered with scars indicating that his wounds are healing.
Sam: Athu amma itha kuduthutu vara sonnanga.
Rudra: Ennathu ithu?
Sam: kothuma maavu..unga amma kuduthu araika sonnanga..
He nodded at her and asked to leave the thing in table near her.
Sam: Apo na poitu varen..
Rudra: Mm kk..
She turned to leave.. But
Rudra: Hyy..
She turned towards him cluelessly,
Rudra: Amma ithuku kaasu kudthangala nu enaku therla.. Oru 2 min wait panria.. Amma ipo vanthiduvanga..
She wanted refuse him by saying it's okay.. But her heart wanted to stay there some more time.
Sam: ahh okay na wait panre.
Sam mv: Arivu illaya... Oru ₹20 ku wait panrenu solra.. Paithiam.
Sam: Athukaga la na inga nikkala.
She came out of her debate whe she heard him asked her to sit on the another sofa.
She sat there by fidgeting her fingers.
Sam: Unga kaal ipo okay ah.. Innu vali irukka??
Rudra: Romba seekrama ketuta..
She looked down coz of embarrassment..
Sam: Illa athu..
Rudra: Summa sonen.. Ipo paravala..
He said with his signature smile in his lips.
Finally she got to see what she missed and longed for these days..
She looked around the house and asked about rakshan knowing well that he went to college for some function.
Rudra: Avan clg poirukan.
She hummed and didn't ask anything further.
By wavering her gaze around the house her eyes landed on his case around the leg. Her heart ached on thinking how much pain he edured during these days.
Her trance was broken when his mother entered the home.
Kasthuri: Va ma.. Epo vantha?
Sam: Ipo than ma.. Athu amma maavu kuduthu vitanga.
Kasthuri: Seri ukkaru ma.. Enna sapdra?
Sam: Aioo athu la onnum venam ma.. Na poitu varen.
Kasthuri: Nee inga vantha onnume sapda maatra.. Seri iru na kaasu eduthutu varen.
Finally it's time for her leaving,
Sam: Poitu varen ma.
Kasthuri: Ah Seri da.. Pathu po.
She turned towards him to her surprise he is already looking at her. She noded at him with a smile. He reciprocated with a warm smile.
With a peaceful heart she left his home.
At night,
Rudras home,
Rakshan: Ipo epdi chappathi vanthuthu? Maavu illa nu soninga.
Kasthuri: Samyuktha amma ta kuduthuviten da... Unaku than etho collector meeting iruku araika mudiyathunu soltu ponela..
Rudra laughed at his mother's comment.
Rakshan: Ipo matum nalla siripu varum.
Rudra: Na phone ah paathu sirichen.
After dinner rakshan helped his brother to tug in to the bed. Though rakshan is pulling his leg and maintain that he is unaffected by his brother's state. But truly, he couldn't see his brother in this state and wanted his brother to chase him around the house like before.
Rudra's mind drifted to a name samyuktha that he heard during the dinner.
This is not a first time he is seeing her. He had seen her in a daily manner when he start his bike to office. But he could sense her gaze on him when ever she crossed him. Sometimes he caught her red handedly by looking through his bike's mirror. But that innocent girl doesn't know that.
He knows she is seeing him for past two years as she is not good at hiding secret. Whenever he notice her while seeing or searching him, he could see a glint of happiness and excitement in her eyes.
But today,
When she entered his house he noticed a different emotion in her eyes.. Like... Longing.... He couldn't accept that and he thought who will long to see a random crush.
(Random crush - for two years.. Seriously???I think this man lost his brain in the accident)
He also noticed the way he stared at his leg case before. The sudden glint of pain in her eyes... He was confused that he really saw that or just his stupid thoughts.
He recalled a incident happened before a year,
A day when he parked his bike outside his home. She was standing with his aunt and her aunt's grand daughter talking something. He could see that her eyes move towards him every 5 seconds through the side mirror. He mentally laughed at her naivety as how dosen't she know that her face can be seen through his mirror. He was pretty sure that her mind didn't understand a single word her aunt speaking and she mindlessly nodding at her.
He laughed by recalling this.
Even today, he remembered the face she made when he made fun of her. He felt that she is looking cute.
Rudra mv : Sir enna pandringa??
Rudra: Onnu illa.. Just thinking.
Mv: Yara pathi??
Rudra: uff.. Ipo enna da unaku prachana?
Mv: Enaku onnu illa pa.. Nee than sari illa.
Rudra: Na nalla than iruken. Nee un velaia pathutu po.
Mv: Illa purila.. Nee enna panranu unaku puritha?? Unaku nalla therium avaluku un mela feelings irukkunu..
Rudra: Hy serious ah la irukkathu.. Etho chinna ponnu.. Vilatuku
Mv: vilatuka?? Nadikatha da.. Ithu epovo mudinchiruku.. Nee patha vela thn ivlo persagiruku.
Rudra:Na enna panen??
Mv: Nee thana... Na solren nee enna panenu....
STAY TUNED...
Let's see the other side of the coin...
