He let her down once the apartment came. They both entered their portion. Once they entered, they saw Malar reading a book in the hall.
Siddhik- "nee ulla poo. Nana konja nerathula vantharen". Athulya just hummed and went.
Siddhik came out, walked opposite to their apartment and the park. After he reached near the a corner which is dark, in the street, He adjusted his throat. Pragyan and Sujan who are smoking turned around on the throat sound. They suddenly put their cigarettes down and come out of the darkness immediately.
Siddhik folded his hands. Pragyan and Sujan looked down.
Pragyan- "ippo than anna", he tried to justify.
Siddhik- "evening ae oru thadava mudinchuruchu. ", he said sternly.
Pragyan and Sujan looked down and said, "sorry"
Siddhik- "veetuku ponga, ini inga ipadi vara koodathu"., he ordered them.
They nodded obediently and went. Siddhik too followed them with a smile. All these are noticed by those persons too.
In Athulya' s room, She texted Sujan and Pragyan that she decided to tell everything to Rakshan and ask about Siddhik. After so much minutes, Pragyan and Sujan gave her a thumbs up symbol as reply.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The next day morning, Everyone did their chores. They all had coffee, Siddhik went for walking. Malar is in the kitchen, cooking breakfast. Sujan mobile ringed. He checked the number.
Athulya- "yaaru sujju.."

Pragyan- "inaiku anna ku duty iruku, seekram povanga.. nee leave matum kelu pothum. anna kilambinathum polam"
Athulya nodded her head and went. Siddhik came there after some minutes. He went inside her room and Athulya followed.
Athulya- "Siddhu, inaiku oru naal matum leave potukava?"
Siddhik- "yen ennachu yaadhu? udambu ethavathu sari illaya? vayuru vlaikutha.. inaiku third day thane? inum pain irukaa?"
Athulya- "pain illa, aana konjam tired ah iruku.. class la romba thookam varuthu. thoongatha control panna thalai valikuthu.. Naan inaiku konjam rest eduthukatuma?", she asked with little pleading.
Siddhik- 'naan venumna koodave irukava?"
Athulya- "inaiku unglauku duty iruku pa, naan thoonga thane poren naan pathukaren."
Siddhik nodded half heartedly and went to get ready. Once Siddhik left to college with Malar, The trio then started to Rakshan's home. Sujan pressed the calling bell. Karthik came and opened the door.
The trio was shocked to see him. They looked at each other not knowing what to say. Karthik looked at Athulya for more seconds and then changed his vision.
Karthik- "ethuku ipdai mulikureenga?"
Sujan- "Senior ah paka vanthom"
Karthik- " ulla vanga. ". He opened the door widely and they came in.
They went in, as usual Siddhik is smiling in the photos in the hall. The trio glanced at the photos. Pragyan and Sujan too stared at it.
Athulya mind voice- "ithe mari santhosama unna vachupen Siddhu"
Karthik- "ulla vanga. avanuku fever nu paduthirukaan". The trio went inside and looked at him.
Sujan- "temperature jasthiah evlo iruku.."
Karthik- "101 iruku, "
Sujan started to check his temperature and said, "Doctor ah paathacha?". Rakshan slowly opened his eyes. But didn't talked anything. he looked very tired.
Karthik- "enthirichathum thaan kootitu poganum.."
Sujan- "vendam boss, naan poi injection vangitu vantharen..", he went hurriedly.
Pragyan- "othadam kodutheengala?"
Karthik- " illa, enaku koduka theriathu.. doctor ah paathutu, ketutu kodukalam nu "
Pragyan- "naan poi eduthutu varen anna.. kitchen enga iruku"
Athulya- "naan ethavathu help panatuma, prajju"
Pragyan- "neeya? vendam aththu. nee utkaru. Naan ipo vanthiduven".
Athulya nodded her head and sat near Rakshan. Karthik sat opposite to them. Within minutes, Pragyan came with a bowl of water and a towel. Athulya looked at him and pleaded cutely.
Pragyan- "aththu koduka theriumla.. paathu vai". Athulya nodded and started to treatment Rakshan.
Rakshan looked at her only, when doing treatment. Karthik too looked at her. Some water dropped near his ear.
Athulya- "achacho, thanni patruchu.. sorry anna, valikutha?". Rakshan blinked at her and smiled a little.
Pragyan- "aththu, pothum. naan panren enthiri"
Athulya- "please please, ini correct ah panren prajju", She cutely pleaded and continued.
The same time Sujan came with the injection and the medicine. He started to took the medicine in the injection. Sujan neared Rakshan on the other side, took his hand. He adjusted his shirt and started to search for the nerve.
Sujan- "Senior, ***** than potu vida poren. ungaluku onum allergy illala". Rakshan smiled and nodded a no a little.
Athulya- "paathu da valikama podu". Karthik watched everything. He didn't moved from his place.
Sujan injected Rakshan the medicine. At the same time Athulya' s mobile ringed. She took that and noticed Siddhik calling. She looked around everyone, but didn't attended it. After full ring, it automatically stopped.
Then Pragyan' s mobile got ring. It displayed Siddhik' s number. He gulped and didn't attended it, since Rakshan and Karthik is before them. Then Sujan' s mobile ringed. It also showed Siddhik' s number. He glared at Pragyan and Athulya and attended it. He didn't said hello or anything. Siddhik said something on the other side.
Sujan- "kumbakaranan kudumbam engalodathu athu thaan karanam vera onum illa.. naan pathukaren. avanuku kalailaye recording iruku.... apove saptachu... haan okay"
He ended the call. They both pleaded at him.
Sujan left out a long breathe and said, "apurama pesidunga ". They both nodded.
Rakshan- "yaar phone la?"
Sujan took a second and said, "ennoda annan". Athulya and Pragyan smirked and looked at him.
Rakshan- "enna visayama vanthirukeenga?".
Pragyan- "fever nu vanthom"
Athulya- 'intha pakam velaia vanthom"
Sujan- "project kaga vanthen". All three said at the same time and looked at each other. Karthik giggled loudly and took his mobile texted something. Rakshan is trying to supress his smile,
Athulya left out a long breathe and said, "naan unga kita oru mukiamana visayam pesanum nu vanthen, anna. but ipo vendam. inoru naal solren.".
Pragyan and Sujan looked at her and then looked at each other, left out a long breathe and stood behind her. Rakshan smiled and looked at Karthik. Karthik too looked at Rakshan.
Another two persons came inside the room and rushed to Rakshan. They checked the temperature again.
Karthik- "ivanga rendu perum Vinay, Logan". The trio nodded their head.
Vinay- "yen da epadi thideernu fever vanthachu? antha veenaponavana ninachiah?". Rakshan looked down without telling anything but secretly watched Athulya.
Logan- "nethu Siddhan ah patheengalla? Antha imsai inum uyiroda thaan iruka? savalaya?"
Athulya fisted her hand to control her anger. Boys too felt uncomfortable with those words.
Vinay- "antha vilangathavan naala thaan ipo fever vanthiruku unaku"
Logan- "avanellam entha list aiume seka mudiathu. imsai pudicha jenmam. avana pathi yosikatha na kekuriah. uyira vangurathukune inum intha oorla suthuran pola.. avanuku vera idame kidaikalaya? "
Athulya stood up abruptly and shouted, "inga parunga inoru varthai avara pathi pesuneenga avlo thaan, soliten"
Logan- "yen pesina enna seiva?"
Athulya- "konnuduven da unna. enna ninacihukitu iruka nee?", She started to move towards him with rage. Pragyan and Sujan gripped her two hands and tried to control her.
Pragyan- "Aththu aththu, please pesama iru"
Athulya- "vidra ennaiah en thimiru iruntha avara apadi pesuvan. inaiku enna panran nu paaru"
Sujan- "yei sothapura di nee. aththu, vendam apuram nee feel panuva.."
Athulya- "mudiathu, inaiku rendula onnu pakama vida maaten"
Vinay- "ennatha paapa? haan? avana ellam nane poi konnutu vanthirukanum"
Athulya- "oh, enga konnu paaru paapom.. en kai enna puliyuanga parigum nu ninaichiah., unna", She took the bowl near to her and throwed on his head. She again throwed the silver plate on Logan.
It successfully hit their head and they shouted in pain.
Vinay- "haan, avana sonna unaku enna?"
Athulya- "ennaku enna vaa? naan thaaan..", she stopped abruptly and realized that she spoiled everything.
She blinked not knowing how to say that. Pragyan and Sujan slapped their own forehead. After some seconds, Rakshan and Karthik laughed loudly. Vinay and Logan too smiled at her.
Logan- "happa enna adi. yen papa, ipadiah eriva? nallavela un kaiku vera ethuvum kidaikala..". The trio was shocked and looked at them with shock.
Vinay- "ipadi oru aalu thaan venum avanuku, analum adi palam thaan, konjam paathu adichurukalam nee." The trio looked at them with guilt.
Karthik- "naan kooda adipa nu ethir pakala papa". Trio looked at him with confusion.
Rakshan sat up in the bed casually and said, " Naan ethir pathen. ava kannula iruntha kovathuku kathiya eduthu thorathuva nu ninachen"
The trio again got shocked and raised their eyebrows at him with widened eyes.
Vinay- "appo plan pani thana intha script koduthiah engaluku.. kadangara.. kolla pakura nee ennaya?"
Athulya- "unagaluku fever illaya?"
Rakshan- "entha oru situation laium suthi irukura soolnilaiah konjam purinjukanum.. unga moonu peruku irukura pathattam Karthi ku illa. Enaku onnuna avan summa utkanthirupaana?".
Sujan- "appove thonuchu ivar yen perusa react agalanu, aana unga temperature high ah irukavum naan romba yosikala. aana fake fever epadi?". Others looked at him.
Rakshan- "naan scientist nu maranthutiah? **** use panen. 3 hours ku body la temperature irukum.. Ipo nee pota injection la udane koranchuduchu. chumma paduthu maintain panitu irunthen.."
Pragyan- "enakum thonuchu, ennada othadam kooda koduka theriathunu solrarenu.. cha naanum romba yosikala". Others looked at him.
When everyone looked at Athulya, she blinked and said, "enaku onum thonala. enala ethuvum help pana mudialayae nu mattum than thonuchu.. apuram, annaku seekram sari aganum nu thaan thonuchu.. ", She said with a guilty tone that she is the only one who didn't understand the surrounding.
Vinay- "athan Siddhan un mela paithiyama irukaan pola". Athulya looked at him.
Logan- "intha anbukaga thane da avan iththana varusham yenginathu".
Athulya blinked at them. The trio looked between each other. They felt like getting trapped but strangely felt a relaxation too. They then looked down not knowing what to do.
Rakshan- "ethuku thala kuniureenga. neenga entha thappum panala. first vaanga hall la poi pesalam.. dei, vinay ellarukum coffee podura.."
Everyone went to hall and Vinay went to kitchen.
Rakshan- "unga kalyana photo iruntha kaatuma please, pakanum pola iruku.. ", there is a longing in his eyes. She took her mobile and showed them the photos.
Rakshan, Logan, Karthik everyone looked at each photos passing comments. They eyes has little tears too. Smile sticked to their face. Vinay too after serving coffee to everyone, joined in watching the photos. They all felt contented.
The trio just watched the things with a smile. They looked at each other. After a while,
Athulya- "epadi therium?"
Vinay- "engaluku Siddhan ah pakanum nu asaiah irunthathu.. so athe mall ku poi CCTV footages check panom. avana paakurathukaga. apo thaan neenga matuneenga", he mocked.
Karthik- " mall full ah suthi suthi Rakshan ah thedinathu.. avan mela venumne bag ah potu pesinathu nu ellame paathom"
Athulya gulped and looked at them with a get caught look.
Rakshan- "Siddhan paathu engala vida vegama neenga moonu perum maranchatha note panom. konjam wierd ah irunthathu."
Logan- "neenga follow panathu, avana paathu olinjathu oru mathiri vithyasama iruthathu appo thaan neenga yarunu kandu pudikanum nu theda arambichom"
Rakshan- "office la irukura Sujan address ah vachu apartment ku vanthom. velila wait panom, ungala pathi therinjuka.. ellam therinjikitu apartment varave night agiduchu, mathathu ellam inime kalaila pathukalam, kilambalam nu thaan ninachom."
Vinay- "appo thaan nee Siddhan kooda velila vantha papa, avlo santhosama vantheenga"
Logan- "un kooda avan avlo jolly ah irunthan. Avan evlo decency theriuma? romba koochapaduvan pothuvave.. aana un kooda irukum pothu ulagathaye maranthutaan.
Karthi- "unayae suthi suthi vanthu public nu kooda pakama romance panitu irunthaan. apo engalala takkunu velila varavum mudiala. enagala avan paka koodathunu angaye maranchu irunthom. pathum pakama iruka vendiatha pochu.. ellam enga neram..", he teased.
Athulya closed her eyes and bite her lips. She then closed her face too. Everyone chuckled.
Sujan- "athu enna aththu, veetla distance maintain panreenga, velila pona romance panreenga?", he mocked
Pragyan- "vithayasamana viyathiah iruku", he rhymingly told in a teasing tone (vadivelu tone)
Athulya- "dei summa irunga daa". Everyone chuckled at them.
Karthi- "athu mattum illa, avan mela pasanga neenga vachiruntha mariyathaium anbum kooda therinjathu".
The trio looked at them with confusion.
Rakshan- "neenga rendu perum theru orama thamadichukitu iruntheenga. athanala ivanga pona apuramum wait panom neenga kilamburathukaga. kadasila, Siddhan vanthu moracha apuram thaan keela potutu, thalaya thonga potutu poneenga"
Pragyan and Sujan looked down while Athulya glared at them.
Athulya- "ada paveengala? thirutu thamma?"
Sujan- "illa aththu athu nethu romba tension ah irunthathu"
Athulya- "irukum irukum, un tension ah yar ta solli koraikanum nu enaku theirum"
Sujan- "yei yei please ma, theriama ma.. "
Athulya- "ithuku Siddhu-vum koota? varatum veetuku kavanichukaren". Boys pleaded her and Rakshan, Vinay, Logan and Karthik laughed at them.
Rakshan- "Naan epadi mall ku vanthathu ungaluku therium nu kandu pudika thaan summa ellar kitaium pechu koduthen appo thaan neenga enna suthi ellar kitaium pesi vachirukurathum therinchathu. "

Sujan- "appo neenga solli than avar pesinara?"
Rakshan- "phone speaker la potu pesinaru.. Siddhan kita poi solitu inga vanthathu varaikum theirum"
The trio looked at each other, looked down and said, "sorry"
Rakshan- "athellam theva illa neenga vanthathula santhosam thaan. aana ini orutharuku oruthar nadika vendam nu thaan vara vachom, vera onum illa. amam papa, enkita enamo solanum nu soniae athu enna papa?"
