Recap: Friends gang go on another day out.
*********
Raghav was hell tired of the works at office. He drove back and saw many couples walking in the parking at the late night.
Raghav: Varen da nanum oru naal en pondati kootitu ( I will come too with my wife one day ) He spoke to himself and parked the bike.
He opened the door with his spare key and saw his friends sleeping in the hall and felt bad. He knew that they would have chose to sleep out to give space to him and Malini still he felt bad and thought of spaeking to them next day and moved to their room. Malini was busy with her mobile. The door opened and she saw Raghav entering so exhausted.
Raghav: Maa why are you still awake?
Malini: Waiting for you.
Raghav: seri change pannitu varen. (ok, I will changing my dress)
Malini: Saptiya (did you eat ?)
Raghav: hmm sapten. (hmm i had )
Raghav changed into his tracks and tees and came to bed. They laid facing each other with a smile.
Raghav: How was the day?
Malini: Good but ….
Raghav: sollu… (tell me )
Malini: Missed you
Raghav: me too.
Both were so tired and slept soon. Morning Raghav woke as first as usual and saw them sleeping close and their hand on each other wrapped tightly. Her face was angelic. He put a few strand behind her ear and she opened her eyes the moment his warm fingers came in touch to her cold sensitive skin. Their eyes locked and didn’t move.
Malini saw him extremely handsome even with his messy hair and sleepy face. She got carried away and moved forward and kissed his forehead. Raghav was on cloud nine when she kissed him. She felt shy and tried to move away but he got her wrist and pulled her back.
Raghav: Enakku return gift thara pazhakkam irukku. ( I have the habit of returning gifts)
He leaned and kissed her forehead.
Raghav: Good morning
Malini: yaar enna kuduthaluma? ( Even whoever gives you anything ?)
Raghav: Thara aal poruthu ellarukkum ellathaiyum eppadi thara mudiyum. ( Depends up on the person who gives it. I can’t give everything to everyone)
She moved to the washroom to get ready leaving the flabbergasted Raghav grinning on the bed.
Daily morning ippadi irundha nalla irukkum. ( It would be good if all the mornings are like this ) He muttered to himself.
She came out after bathing and Raghav saw her standing infront of the dresser in a top and skirt. Water still dripping from her hair and drops like dew on her milky shoulder. Her curves and the morning freshness with strawberry scent made him crazy and he could control his hormones and desires which reflected below his waist. He turned to other side before getting caught and embarrassed.
Malini: Raghav get up poi kuli time agudhu.. ( Raghav get up and go bath it is getting late )
Raghav: Nee po ma naa ready ayitu varen (you go and I will join after getting ready) He didn’t turn and gave her reply.
Malini: Enna achu ( what happened ?)
she walked closer to him but he was quick to cover him with the duvet.
Raghav: Onnum illa nee poi tea podu I will come by the time. ( Nothing you go prepare tea and I will be there by the time)
She sighed and left. Once she disappeared he grabbed the towel and ran to the bath room as he badly needed a cold shower.
They all sat together for breakfast as usual.
Raghav: Innaiku enga poringa? ( Where are you going today ?)
Malini: No way. Only rest. All are tired.
Raghav: Appo Vanaja akka kitta solli innaiku lunch seiya sollidu Malu ( Then inform Vanaja aunty to prepare lunch for you all)
Malini: ok.
Raghav left to office and Sanjay and Prakash too excused an left out for some work. Bala , Arthi, Lekha and Malini were at home watching TV. By afternoon Sanjay and Prakash came back.
Malini: Enga poninga? ( Where did you go ?)
Sanjay: Suspense…
Malini: Evanda kandu pudicha indha suspense lam. ( Who did find this suspense thing ?)
They played PS, had lunch and by evening they all went to the park in their premises. Krithi and Sharmi met them all. Everybody played for a while and chatted for a while. Sarath came to them and Malini introduced them all.
Sarath: Partner friends ellaraiyum meet panadhula romba happy. Avar than romba busy ah irukkaru. ( so happy meeting partner’s friends but he is only very busy)
Prakash: Konja naal than apram free ah iruppan. ( Just few days then he will be free)
Krthika: Ellarum dinner polama? ( Shall we all go to dinne r?)
Malini: Anni Raghav eppo varuvan therilaye ( sister in law I don’t know when Raghav will return ?)
Krithika: Call panni kelu… ( call him and get to know)
Malini called Raghav and asked him if he could join dinner and he told them he could join directly. Malini was so happy and told them all. Sarath selected a place and they decided to leave home at 7.30.
They all got ready by the time. Krithi and Sarath drove in bike and the friends drove the car. They reached the restaurant and took the seat in the table which Sarath has already reserved. Raghav was yet to come and Malini was waiting for him to join them. They all placed orders in the mean time and started to chat on their lives.
Malini felt elated when Raghav walked to them. she eyed him to sit next to her and he took a seat next to her.
Sanjay: Partner unakkum Malinikum enna venum order pannu. ( Partner order whatever you want for Malini and yourself)
They were happily having their dinner and Prakash called for their attention.
Sanjay: Ellarukum oru surprise.. ( A surprise for all )
Malini: Evlo neram idhaiye solra enna nu sollu neyy ( How long will you keep telling the same bro ?)
Prakash: Enaglukku job transfer kedachiduchu…. ( We go our job transferred )
They all shouted in excitement and Raghav moved to them and hugged them.
Sanjay: Adhu mattum illa. Indha apartment laye oru flat rent ku pathutom. ( Not only that we also got a flat in this same apartment)
Malini: Anney edhukku thaniya veedu pakuringa. ( Brother, why do you need a separate home ?)
Raghav: Yenda avlo distant ayitoma naanga? ( Have we become so distant is it ?)
Bala: Mapla nanga bachelors nee family man. Basically nee enga list la illa. ( bro, we are bachelors but you are family man so you are not in our list)
Raghav: Adeyy enna da ( hey what is this man ?)
Sanjay: Dey amma appa lam vandha stay pannanum la adhan da. Just 3 floors mela. ( Hey we need space if our parents are here to stay with is so we found separate flat and moreover we are just 3 floor above you )
Malini: Eppo join pannanum ( when is it you will be joining ?)
Prakash: Next week. So naanga nalaikku chennai porom. Things lam pack pannitu veetla konjam time spend pannitu next week varuvom. ( Next week so tomorrow we are leaving for chennai. We need to pack things and spend some time with family before arriving here next week )
Malini: Nalaikku poringala? ( you are leaving tomorrow ?)
Arthi: Appo naangalum avanga koodave porom illana thaniya ponum. ( Then we will also leave with them or we need to go alone )
Lekha: Nee venum na enga kooda vaa Sanjay annalam varum podhu you can come back with them. ( May be you come with us and you can return when Sanjay bro are coming back here)
Raghav and Malini looked at each other and Raghav nodded his head negatively and held her hand tightly under the table.
Malini: illa vendam neenga ponga nanum Raghavum next month varom. ( No, you guys carry on I will come with Raghav next month)
Raghav: Apo idhu unga treat da ( then this is your treat )
Bala:Enga treat than lets enjoy…. (yes this is our treat so lets enjoy)
With lot of fun and banter they finished their dinner and left the restaurant. Malini wanted to return with Raghav in his enfield. It has been long time they drove together in that but she hesitated to ask him. Raghav messaged Prakash to help him by sending Malini with him.
Prakash: Papa, Raghav kooda varalam la car la than space illaye. ( child, come with Raghav, we don’t have space in car)
Arthi: Hey aama odu po un aal kooda vaa naanga free ya varom. ( hey yes go away and we will come comfortably)
She gave a smile and went to Raghav who was waiting in his enfield. She sat back to him and the enfield roared as he ignited the engine.
Raghav adjusted the mirror to watch her and saw her blushing. He was engrossed too much in watching her and failed to see the speed breaker well in advance and pulled the break suddenly causing her to dash on his back forcely. For a moment he felt her bossoms touch his back sending chills in his nerves.
Malini: Enna achu? ( What happened ?) her voice broke his trance
Raghav: Sorry ma, speed breaker pakkala (sorry , I did n’t notice the speed breaker)
Raghav Mv: Dey vara vara un thoughts lam romba bad ah irukku da. ( Nowadays your thoughts has turned out very dirty )
He huffed and continued his driving.
Raghav: Pudichiko Malini safety ku neraya speed breakers irukkum indha route la ( hold me Malini for your safety, there are lot of speed breakers in this route)
She shyly snaked her hand around his waist and he closed his eyes for a second registering her touch on his abdomen. He looked on her hand and wanted to entwine his fingers with her but cleared his mind that he is yet to propose her.
They reached home and their freinds started to pack their things to start early. Malini went to stay with Arthi and Lekha as they will be leaving early next day.
Arthi: Malini safe ah iru. Seekiram good news sollu ok va. ( Malini stay safe and give us a good news very soon)
Malini: seri di. Naa chennai varum podhu ungala vandhu pakkuren. ( ok girl, I will meet you when I come to chennai)
They were busy talking and slept later.
Raghav and friends were still chatting.
Sanjay: Dey eppo da love solla pora? ( When will you confess your love ?)
Raghav: Next week enga marriage 100th day annaikku solla poren. ( Next week is our 100th day and I will confess on that day )
Prakash: Oru vazhiya mudivu pannitan. All the best da. ( finally he decided , all the best man )
Bala: All the best .
Early morning they all got ready quickly and Raghav booked a cab for them to reach the railway station for their train.
Raghav: Dey poitu call pannunga. Arthi and Lekha veetukku ponadhum please call pannunga. ( Hey call me once you reach. Arthi, Lekha call me once you reach home)
Arthi: Sure anna. (bro)
Soon they all bid bye and left. Malini and Raghav sat on the couch after they left.
Malini was silent and Raghav knew she must be feeling lonely.
Raghav: Malu innum oru one week apram I will not have work burden adhu vara mattum konjam adjust panniko ma. ( Malini, just a week and I will not have work burden. Till then adjust please)
Malini: Paravala Raghav. Nee work la concentrate pannu. Enkooda than Krithi anni irukangala apram enna. ( Its ok Raghav. You better concentrate on work. I have Krithi sista so why worry ?)
Raghav: Seri unakku oru surprise irukku vaa. ( I have a surprise for you come)
He took he to their room and made her sit on their bed. He moved to his wardrobe and took a bag and gave it to her.
Malini: Enna idhu ? ( What is this ?)
Raghav: Open panni paru ( Open it and check it )
She opened and found new dresses of the same matching color as she bought for him. It was a beautiful gown with crstal works on it.
Malini: Wowwww semmaya irukku. Enna sudden ah dress ( Woww this is awesome but why a new dress all of a sudden )
Raghav: En reason irundha dhan vaangauma ? ( Do I need a reason to buy a new one to you ?)
Malini: Appadi illa ( Not like that )
Raghav: Pudichurukka? ( Do you like it ?)
Malini: Nee select pannadhu enakku pudikama irukkuma. I love this ( How will I not like it when it wa syou who selected it. )
Raghav Mv: Adhaiye oru word change panni I love you sonna nalla irukkum. just few days next week we will be out of this hide and seek. ( Just change a word in it and say I love you, it would be very good. Just few days and we will be out of this hide and seek )
