After having their own moments, They decided to leave to Rakshan home.
Athulya- "marupadium athe mathiri full ah bandage podu Siddhu"
Siddhik- "ethuku?'
Athulya- "ethana peru kandu pudikuranganu pakanum.. epadi react panranganu pakanum. please, please.. "
Siddhik- 'Hmm, ithuku munnadi en kita vilayaditu iruntha. ipo enna vachu vilayadura.. sari naan solra mathiri kattu podu"
Athulya nodded and did as per his guidance. They started and within minutes reached Rakshan's home. Everyone panicked when they looked at him. Rakshan furrowed his eyebrows. Karthik is the first person to rush towards him.
Karthik- "dei kutty, enna da ivlo peria kattu potruka? enna Raksha china kayam nu sonna.. valikutha daa? ", He touched his hand very softly.
Siddhik- "illa, da.. vali ipo illa. nee relax agu", he tried his best to calm him down.
Karthik- "doctor kita polama?"
Siddhik- "illa vendam. i am fine now". Karthik touched with hand with worry filled face.
Karthik- " Paathu nikka koodatha kutty. apadi enna phone la mukiamana visayam pathutu iruka? suthi enna nadakuthunu gavanama iruka vendama?"
Rakshan- "dei ithu ethir parama nadanthathu da. nee kavala patta apuram avanum oru mathiri agiduvan"
Karthik nodded his head and moved aside. Siddhik didn't meet his eyes.
Priyanka- "valiku inum iruka anna?"
Siddhik- "illa ma, ipo illa"
Malar- " sapdareengala? aduthu tablet eppo podanum?"
Siddhik- "konja neram agatum ma. ipo pasikala"
Logan and Vinay entered at that time and was shocked to see Siddhik with bandage.
Logan- "dei, ennada ithu? epadi aachu?". Rakshan said what happened..
Vinay- "apadi enna pakki unaku phone vendi iruku. road la nikkum pothu suthium enna nadakuthunu paakurathu illaya? nee epavum gavanama thane irupa? thideernu unaku enna aachu?"

Siddhik- "yen da rendu perum thititae irukeenga?", He pouted a little.
Vinay- " itha mattum nalla kelu.. vera engaium valikutha unaku? "
Siddhik- "illa..". He answered while looking down. Logan, Vinay and Karthik exchanged glances.
Karthik- "sari konjam ulla vaa. rest edukalam"
Siddhik- "illa enaku tired ah illa". Athulya understood.
Logan- "paravalla kayam patathuku rest edukanum vaa"
Siddhik- "athu irukatum, naan ingayae.."
Vinay- "ipo neeya variah? illa thookitu pogatuma?", He mumbled in Siddhik' s ear. Siddhik widened his eyes and nodded as yes.
Siddhik, Vinay, Logan and Karthik went inside the room. Athulya moved away from the hall, walked around the house and stood back near the window of the room where these four men are speaking.
Karthik- "unna ellam enna panrathunae theriala enaku. irukura problem ah inum yaen perusu aakura?"
Siddhik- "epadi kandupudicha?", He asked with a surprise.
Karthik- "naan thotathum, shoulder ah rotate panna apo than kandupudichaen. ivalo peria kattu potutu epadi avlo asalt ah panna mudium?".
Siddhik- "athu, nee romba lesa thotiah.. koosuchu daa", he smiled sheepishly with a chuckle.
Siddhik then looked at Logan. He said, "Rakshan casual ah irukuratha vachu doubt vanthathu"
Siddhik then looked at Vinay and said, "intha naaye kanna pathae pesala. atha vachu than kandu pudichaen"
Athulya widened her eyes and raised her eyebrows in amusement. They found it within seconds.
Karthik- "engala maari maari pathathu pothum. ipo ethuku intha drama?"
Siddhik- "Yaathu kooda konjam close aga"
Logan- "unaku vera idea vae kidaikalaya?"
Siddhik- "ava en kitayae vara matikura.. naan enna panrathu", he whined.
Vinay chuckled and said, "ivan solrathum sari thane, rendu perukum private moments ae illala."
Logan- "athukunnu, nalaiku itha papa kandupudicha enna agum? yen da yemathita nu inum kovamagita enna panrathu?"
Karthik- " pesama onnu panidalama? ivan kaila oru vettu potralama? "
Siddhik widened his eyes in shock and said, "dei...". Athulya too widened her eyes there.
Rakshan who entered at that time said, "seruppu pinchudum da unaku. konjamachum puthiyoda pesu. vetuviah kaiah? ". Athulya smiled.
Karthik- "vaa daa rasa, vaa. neeum thane jodi potu itha idea panathu. ipo katta piricha unmai therinchudum.. sari konja naal maintain panitu kayam aariduchu nu samalicha kooda thalumbu irukathu ivanuku shoulder la. appo enna panuva?"

Siddhik- "athu konjam bayamagiduchu.."
All four men slapped their heads. Athulya chuckled silently and enjoyed.
Karthik- "onnu pannu, un birthday varaikum ipadiaye suthu. birthday annaiku papa kaal la vilunthu unmaiah solidu"
Rakshan- "tension agiduva papa. ivlo naal yemathuniah nu"

Others chuckled. Athulya too smiled remembering that incident.
Siddhik- "neenga onum kavalapadatheenga daa. naan samalichukaren. yaathu va pathi enaku therium. neenga just en flow la sync aana pothum"
Others looked at each other.
Rakshan- "ithe thana nee unaku kattu podum pothum sonna.. unkita finishing sari illaye da". Athulya chuckled silently there.
Siddhik- "pch, naan pathukaren. neenga tension agatheenga. en pondatiah pathuka enaku theiratha?"
Vinay- "ivana nambalama? illa pesama papa ta unmaiah solidalama?"
Karthik- "rendume sari varathu. onnu panalam, avala pathina ninapula thaan ivanuku adipatruchunu solidalam"
Rakshan crocked his eyebrows, gave a thought and said, "hmm, nalla idea"
Logan- "enna nalla idea, itha sonna papa kovam koranchuduma?"
Rakshan- "kandipa, papa voda sera thane ivan drama panrathe. yemathitan nu paatha thaane kovam varum, avaloda sera ethaethetho muyarchi panrannu paatha kovam varathulla"

Vinay- "papa va samathana padutha unaku oru vali koodava kidaikala"
Siddhik- "illayae", he pursed his lips. Everyone chuckled again.
Rakshan- "sari vanga velila polam. papa theditu vanthiduva.."
They all left and Athulya too hurried to the hall. She then sat and watched TV as if nothing happened. Five men came and started to do their chores. Sujan came after some time. He got panicked on witnessing Siddhik with a huge bandage.
Sujan- "ennachu?", he rushed to him and gently touched his shoulder.
Siddhik- "onum illa.. ipo naan okay"
Sujan- " epadi adi patuchu?". Rakshan came and explained him the incident.
Sujan- "gavanikalaya? nijamava?", He furrowed his eyebrows and asked both the men. they just nodded.
Sujan- "enga kayam iruku?".
Rakshan showed him the place and said, "inga adi patrukarathunala full ah band aid podura mathiri agiruku"
Sujan- "Neenga poteengala? appo doctor ta pogalaya?", he asked with a shock.
Siddhik- "illa. enaku ipo valium illa sujju. i am fine."
Sujan gave him a confused look and then asked Rakshan, "enna injection poteenga? enna tablet kodutheenga? anti-biotic kodutheengala? ivan yaen inum thoongama utkanthirukaan? "
Rakshan- "ellam naan pathu koduthutaen. nee romba tired ah theriura. muthalla nee poi refresh agitu vaa"
Sujan examined the bandage once, widened his eyes, looked at both the men and went. Rakshan and Siddhik exchanged a meaningful look. Athulya just witnessed everything silently.
After a while, Siddhik with the help of Malar doing paper correction in the dinner table. Priyanka is doings totals for all the papers to help Siddhik.
Rakshan- "Sanjeev call panirukaaru. namala namaloda plan padi panna solitaru. avar inaiku vara mataram. oru work irukaam. sujju nee ready ah?"
Sujan- "ready anna"
Pragyan came at that time. He looked totally exhausted. he sat on the sofa, leaned on it and closed his eyes. He looked tired and weak. Everyone noticed him.
Athulya- "enna da ipadi vara romba velaiah?". Pragyan nodded.
Priyanka- "rendu naala olunga sapda kooda illa. ennachu ragu?"
Pragyan- "vela thaan riya. vera onum illa"
Athulya- "ivlo tired ah vara alavuku enna vela? puthusa show ethuvum allot panirukangala?"
Pragyan- "illa aththu.. antha kaithi id than.", he turned and saw Siddhik, he stood up the next second and rushed to him, "anna, enna aachu ungaluku? kai la enna ivlo peria kattu epadi nadanthathu?"
Siddhik- "ssh, muthalla utkaru". Pragyan sat on the chair next to him the next second.

Pragyan- "haan, atha apurma paakalam. muthalla anna ku enna nu sollunga"
Rakshan- "marupadium muthalla iruntha.. ada ponga daa"
Priyanka played a tape which has a recording of Rakshan's explanation.
Karthik- "itha eppo panna?"
Priyanka- "pavam anna ovorutharuka solitu iruntharu, athaan"
Rakshan- "nalla vela ma, unakachum enna paathu parithabam vanthuchae"
Pragyan- "paathu nikamateengala anna.."

Pragyan- "nee enna namma process ah maranthutiah? avar one week munnadiaye content anupitaru. ellarum approve pani telecast anathu nethu"
Siddhik looked at him with a deep thought. Karthik and Athulya exchanged glances.
Karthik- "naan venumna id ah trace panni tharava?"
Pragyan- "vendam anna"
Karthik- "yaen ennala mudiathunu ninaikuriah?", he teased.

Everyone smiled at him. Siddhik caressed Pragyan's hair gently.
Siddhik- "ellam sariah poidum. ". Pragyan nodded his head.
Priyanka- "naan venumna avaruku mail panni pakatuma?"
Pragyan chuckled and said, " ennanu mail panuva?"
Priyanka- "atha pathi enna unaku? nee thaa. naan antha anna kita pesi pakuren. nee venumna paaru avanga mail panuvanga"
Pragyan- "venam nee angaium poi ragu ragu nu ulari vaipa"

Pragyan- "illa riya, naan apadi solala"
Priyanka- "illa nee apdi thaan sonna poo". Pragyan sighed, giggled and went behind her to console her.
Everyone looked at them with a smile.
