Avi glared at Shakthi,
Yenna bro neenga ivlo neram ready aguringa?! Sikiram bro!
( Why do you take so long to get ready? Quick!)
403 was practically rushing Avi, urging him to get ready quickly. The faster he could get ready, the more time he thought Ananya and Avi would have to spend together, leading to quicker romance and ultimately allowing 403 to go home.
403 pondered over his options, brainstorming ways to expedite the process of Avi and Ananya falling in love. He considered locking them in the same room, orchestrating a scenario where Avi would catch Ananya after he trips her, complete with a romantic background music soundtrack, and even more elaborate schemes. However, he knew that executing any of these plans would require Avi's punctuality and cooperation. Without them, his efforts would be in vain.
Bro sikiram kelambunga bro!
( Bro, get yourself going quick!)
Yen da ipdhi panrae?
( Why are you doing this to me?)
Ungaluku neraya vezha iruku bro!
( You have a lots of job to do!)
Avi shook his head at Shakthi's peculiar behavior, watching as the young man struggled to push his weight down the stairs. Despite his efforts, Shakthi couldn't budge Avi an inch. With a weary sigh, Avi decided to take matters into his own hands and hopped down the stairs himself, letting Shakthi think he was the one doing the pushing. From the living room, Ananya couldn't help but chuckle at the sight of the two of them.
Mithra polama?
( Mithra, should we go?)
First uh breakfast achum saapdhen?
( Have your breakfast first)
Mithra advised him as usual, but Avi shook his head. Nothing would make him have a peaceful meal in this house; he'd rather eat outside. 403 observed the drama unfolding from behind Avi, while Mithra clicked her tongue at her brother's stubbornness.
Venumna naane senju tharen, saapdhu Avi
( I'll make it for you, please don't skip your breakfast)
However, Avi still didn't pay any heed to her; he simply shook his head, eliciting a weary sigh from Ananya.
Nee saptalae? Va
( You've had your breakfast haven't you? then come let's go)
Yenga?!
( Where?!)
Mithra flinched when Shakthi finally emerged from behind her brother's back and with a startled shriek.
Ava driver'ku iniki leave, adhan na drop panna poren
( Her driver is on leave today, so I'll be dropping her)
Uncle , drop panatume?
( Why can't we let uncle drop her?)
The group turned to Rajendran, who sat idly pretending as though he couldn't hear the conversation. Avi shot a stern glare at the old man, while Mithra cleared her throat to diffuse the tension.
Illa paravala Shakthi
( No it's okay Shakthi)
Illa Mithra avaruku neraya vela iruku
( No Mithra, he has a lots of job to do)
Dei apdhi yenna dhan da vela iruku enaku, ennake theriyama?
( What job are you even talking, even I'm not aware of it?)
Avi exhaustedly asked Shakthi, prompting a sheepish giggle from him. Avi shook his head in exasperation before grabbing Mithra's hand and leading her to the front. As 403 stood there panicking, he knew he had to come up with something. Suddenly, inspiration struck, and he quickly ran to the brother-sister duo, stopping them in their tracks.
Yenna, Mithra'va na drop pananumnu nenaikiren!
( Because I want to drop Mithra!)
Both Avi and Mithra's eyes widened identically at him, Shakthi cleared his throat,
Illa bro, oru naal na Mithra'va drop panrennae?
( I mean, can I drop her today?)
Shakthi asked eagerly, his eyes bouncing between Mithra and Avi. Mithra's eyes widened at the unexpected request, a blush creeping across her cheeks. She glanced at Avi, who stood there with a suspicious glare fixed on Shakthi.
Yen?
( Why?)
Ada chumma dhan bro!
( There's no why! I just want to!)
Avi was taken aback by the suggestion, his eyebrows shooting up in surprise. He glanced at his sister beside him, noticing her lack of objection, which puzzled him even more. Slowly, he released Mithra's hand, his suspicion evident in his gaze. As 403 breathed a sigh of relief, Mithra stifled a chuckle.
Kavala padhadhinga bro, unga thangachi'ya na bathrama kutitu poren
( Don't worry bro, I'll make sure to bring her safely, I'll take care of her)
Unnaiye oru aal pathukanum
( You, yourself need someone to take care of you)
Avi, despite his reluctance to let Mithra go with Shakthi, harbored a deep protectiveness towards her. Unlike Rajendran, Avi rarely allowed Mithra to travel alone or in crowded places, always ensuring she had some form of protection, even if she wasn't aware of it. Seeing Mithra unconsciously gravitate towards Shakthi's side stirred a mix of emotions in Avi. On one hand, he felt a surge of protectiveness towards his sister, wanting to shield her from any potential harm. Yet, on the other hand, he couldn't ignore the possibility that Mithra found comfort in Shakthi's jovial nature. Perhaps being with someone closer to her age made her feel more at ease?
Avi sighed, ultimately deciding to give in this one time, albeit with a hint of apprehension lingering in his mind.
Seri paarthu parandhura poran
( Fine, be careful. He might fly away)
403 made a deadpan face at Avi as soon as he turned away and walked to his car,
Yedho na manushana irukurae naala thapichitae
( You're lucky that I'm a human)
>>>>–––– 💘 ––––<<<<
As they settled into the car, a crucial question suddenly occupied 403's mind: how to drive this thing? He recalled observing Avi driving before. Avi typically pressed on something, causing the small thing beside him to display different letters. Then, by turning the round thing in front of him, the car would move. Simple enough, right?
Mithra blinked as she noticed Shakthi lost in deep thought. Clearing her throat, she gently drew his attention back to the present moment.
Shakthi?
He didn't hear her, she lightly shook him,
Shakthi?
403 snapped out of his thoughts and turned to her,
Yennachu?
( What happened?)
Onnu illaye, nee un college route solriya?
( Nothing, can you show me the route to your college?)
403 reassured her with a feigned smile as Mithra nodded in understanding. She proceeded to set the location on the car's navigation system. Gulping nervously, 403 noticed that Avi had left. He discreetly brought his right hand to the side where Mithra wouldn't notice and snapped his fingers.
Mithra jerked in surprise as the car suddenly lurched forward, accelerating to 150 kilometers per hour. The speed was so intense that it made her head spin. With only 403's hands gripping the steering wheel, it was clear that nothing was in his control. He was barely able to hold his breath, his hands trembling with fear.
Shakthi, slow pannu! Romba vegama porae
( Shakthi, slowdown! You're overspeeding)
As they sped down the road, pedestrians scattered in all directions, frantically trying to avoid the oncoming car. With each passing moment, the chaos seemed to escalate, leaving Mithra bewildered and Shakthi lost in his own world of confusion.
Na yenga vegama poren?! Adhuvadhan podhu!
( I'm not even speeding it, it's doing it on it's own)
Appo yedhachum pannu!
( Then do something, make it stop!)
Yenna pannanum, yenna pananum?!
( What do I do?! What do I do?!)
Break aluthu!
( Press the break!)
With a sense of urgency, 403 pressed down on something with his leg, expecting to slow the car down, but instead, the vehicle surged forward even faster. His panic only escalated as the speedometer climbed higher.
Adhu illa , inonu!
( Not that, the other one!)
Ahhhhhh!
Ahhhhhh!
>>>>–––– 💘 ––––<<<<
Nee yenna bathrama kutitu porae?
( You, will bring me safely?)
Mithra asked Shakthi, her eyebrows raised in astonishment as he innocently sipped his coconut tender. Just as they were about to collide with a wall, Shakthi miraculously hit the brakes in the nick of time. Despite the near-disaster, Mithra couldn't help but smile at him, finding his guilt-ridden expression akin to that of a caught chicken amusing.
Car oatha theriyalana, sola vendhiya dhane?
( Why didn't you just tell me that you can't drive?)
Embarrassed by his failure, 403 quickly averted his gaze, feeling the weight of disappointment in himself. He had believed he had everything under control with his magic, only to unexpectedly lose control in this situation.
Apdhi yenna avasaram? Pesama Avi kudhaye poirukalamlae?
( What was the rush? We could have just gone with Avi)
How would he tell her? If only he could.
Adhu onnu illa, daily unga anna kudha poi bore adikila? Enake yedho military car'la pora madhiri irundhuchu, adhan-
( No, it's just, won't it be little boring travelling with your brother? It's almost like I'm stuck inside a military car, so I-)
As 403 was buffing with all the myriad of excuses he could conjure up to explain his mishap, the sound of a car pulled him out of his reverie. He and Mithra strolled leisurely towards their car, Mithra behind the wheel this time, while enjoying their refreshing coconut beverages.
As Mithra was listening to him, Shakthi his subconscious instincts kicked in, gently guided Mithra to the safer side of the sidewalk, his palm resting comfortably on her back. Caught off guard by his unexpected gesture, Mithra paused, feeling a rush of warmth spreading across her cheeks. The simple act of chivalry left her pleasantly surprised, as she couldn't help but smile at Shakthi's unintentional charm.
Shakthi may not have the physical strength to shield others from harm, but he had his own unique way of looking out for them.
403 halted in his tracks when he noticed Mithra wasn't beside him, and turned around with a puzzled expression, his head tilting to the side in confusion.
Yennachu?
( What happened?)
Mithra shook her head,
Onnum illa
(Nothing)
403 nonchalantly shrugged his shoulders, taking the empty coconuts from her hand and tossing them away before they hopped into the car. Mithra, assuming the driver's seat, couldn't resist teasing him as she playfully quipped,
Velaiki porae idea iruka?
( Any ideas on going to work?)
403's eyes widened in surprise at her unexpected question, and with a swift turn towards her, he looked almost startled as he pleaded,
Nee college pola naalum paravala, enna office'la vitru!
( It's okay even if you don't go to your college, but please drop me at the office!)
