Recap: Malini and their friends go out for a day out.
***********
Malini and Raghav stood at either of the bedroom door and looked at each other with so much of longing. They mouthed a good night and entered the rooms. Arthi and Lekha were already on bed.
Arthi: Malu vaa namma thaniya night spend panni evlo naal achu. We will talk tonight for all those missed days. ( Malu, come on its been so long time we spent time together. )
Malini: Enakku thookam varudhu. ( I m sleepy)
Lekha: Enna madam, husband pirinja saogama. Romba feel pannadha. Naaga pona apram rendu perum thane irukka poringa. ( What happened Madam are you feeling sad for leaving your husband ? Don’t feel bad. Once we leave only you both will be left alone)
Malini: Seri sollunga enna pesanum. (ok tell me what do you want to talk ?)
Arthi: Un life eppadi pogudhu sollu. Rendu perum understanding vandhutingala? ( How is your life progressing ? have you both got some understanding between each other?)
Malini: Life nalla pogudhu ( Life goes good). don’t you guys know about Raghav. He looks after me very well.
Arthi: Apram yendi engala avlo urgent vara sonnaru. ( Then why did he call us so urgently ?)
Malini: Nothing. I had a bad dream when he was not at home. When he came back looks I almost had a panic attack of that dream. He doesn’t want to leave me alone and he will be busy with his work for atleast another 10 days so he should have called you.
Lekha: appadi ennadi dream ( What dream was it ?)
Malini: I forgot..
Arthi: Nambura mathiri illaye ( Does seem to be believed )
Malini: Adhan solren la.. ( I m telling you right)
Lekha: Did you guys go out somewhere?
Malini: Yes we went to mysore for 2 days. We enjoyed a lot.
Arthi: Malu eppo honeymoon poga poringa? ( malu, when are you going for honeymoon ?)
Malini: Ippo enna urgent adhukku. Lets take slowly. ( What is the urgency for it. We will go later)
Arthi: But nothing serious right?. I mean you guys are taking in right way?
Malini: Perfect way. don’t worry . We are fine.
Lekha: Somehow we could relate from your behaviour still just to confirm ketten.
They settled to watch K drama after talking for sometime.
Meanwhile boys were watching Raghav as he was pacing back and forth in the room. After sometime they gave up and called him.
Sanjay: Yenda ippadi kutty pota poona mathiri nadakura? ( why are you pacing like kitten that has given birth ?)
Raghav Mv: Ungala vara vehadhukku ungalala enna panna mudiyumo adha pannitinga. Ippo ava pakkathula illama naa ennada pannuven. Ippo than konjam konjam feel vara start agudhu.
( I called you guys here and you have done whatever you could for that. What will I do without her next to me ? Just now she started to feel something )
Prakash: Mapla enna da yosikura engalukku eppadi thanks solradhu na? ( hey, what are you thinking, may be how to thank us ?)
Raghav: aama da. correct ah sollite (yes, you guessed it correct)
Sanjay: Dey adha vidu inga vaa unkitta neraya vishayam kekkanum. ( Leave that and come here , we need to talk a lot )

Sanjay: Unakku Malini kum eppai pogudhu? Any changes? ( How is it going between you and Malini?)
Raghav: Fine da. Neraya changes. Avalukkum en mela feelings irukkum nu theriyudhu. (fine, there are lot of changes, I can see that she too feels the same for me)
Prakash: Appo propose panna vedniyadhu thane? ( then why don’t you propose her ?)
Raghav: dey ippo than da konja naala different ah irukka. Let some days go. ( Just in recent days she has started feeling different so let some days pass )
Bala: Late pannadha mapla. ( don’t delay it man)
Sanjay: seri engala yen vara sonne? ( Why did you call us ?)
Raghav: Looks like she is having some insecurities and getting confused about her feelings. I m trying my best to avoid any situations that would give way to feel her insecure. But still she had a bad dream seems. She looked like had some Panic attack. I was scared. I tried to convince but she started crying.
Prakash: Enna dream sonnala? (did she say about the dream?)
Raghav: no. but few words la I could understand that namma junior ponnu oruthi naa azhaga irukka sonnen la once. Avala pathi ketta but sudden ah stop pannita continue pannala.
( No, but from the few words she spoke I understood that it was about our junior once I spoke about being beautiful. She asked me about her and again stopped and didn’t speak anything)
Bala: You should have asked her ?
Raghav: I asked her. “I thought I lost you ” nu sonna. Night full ah enna vidave illa. enga enna vitta naa avala vittu poiduveno nu bayam ava kannula therinjudhu. ( I asked her and she said ” I thought I lost you “. She didn’t let me go the whole night. I saw the fear that I may disappear if she let me go )
Sanjay: Yenda appo avalum unna love panra nu nalla theriyudhe da. Infact ippo ava unkooda irukkanum nu romba expect panni iruppa. Nee indha details first eh solli irundha naanga hall la paduthiruppom la.
( Its clear that she also loves you. Infact she expects to stay with you. If you had told us about this then we would have slept in the hall)
Prakash: Adhan papa morning la irundhu edhalayum interest illama irundhala? ( so that is why she was lacking interest in everything from the morning )
Sanjay: Seekiram love sollu da. ( Confess your love soon)
Raghav: sure, let my work get reduced a litle. I will take work from home for some days. I want to be with her once I propose her instead of leaving her and running after my hectic job.
P: unakku shirt vaanga evlo amakkalam panna theriyuma. Mall la irundha ella shop la thedi select panna. ( Do you know how much time she took to buy a shirt for you ? She almost searched all the shops in the mall)
Bala: Avalukku vaanga sonna amma illana Raghav than select pannuvanga so enakku vendam sollita ( When we said her to buy for herself she said that either her mother or Raghav will select for her so she doesn’t want to buy anything for her)
Sanjay: You both have become an inseparable part of each other’s life even without both realizing it. You both can never live without each other. I think you must realized it ?
Raghav: Yes da. I did and I hope she too did .
All slept except Raghav and Malini who couldn’t sleep. Malini tossed to get sleep but all went in vain and she gave up and walked out of the room and came to living room. She stood shocked to see Raghav sitting on the couch in the living.
Malini: Thoongalaya? Don’t you have work tomorrow? ( Are you not sleeping ?)
Raghav: Couldn’t sleep. What about you?
Malini: enakkum thookam varala. ( Couldn’t sleep)
She sat on the couch next to him with a gap between the two.
Raghav: How was your day ?
Malini: It was so excited, shopping, food, movie we enjoyed a lot.
She didn’t look at him as she said because how could she lie to him when she only missed him through out the day.
Raghav Mv: Nalla poi sollu. I know you missed me. ( Lie as much you want )
Raghav: what did you buy ?
Malini: Just a shirt for you. Unnoda dresses la irukku. Pudichu irukka sollu. ( Shirt is in your dresses, see if you like it )
Raghav: hmmm. Why are you not sleeping ?
Malini Mv: I m used to sleep next to you then how will I sleep without you.
Malini: Don’t know. why are you not sleeping?
Raghav Mv: Nee illama eppadi di thooguven. ( how will I sleep without you ?)
Raghav: Konjam office tension. (some office tension )
Malini: TV pakkalama? (shall we watch TV)
Raghav: hmmm.( ok)
They settled to watch a movie and as time passed they slept in the couch leaning on each other. Morning Bala woke up early and came to hall and saw the couple sleeping peacefully and he went inside and dragged Sanjay and Prakash to witness it. Prakash went to the girls and woke them and they all stood opposite to them watching them.
Sanjay: Ezhupalama? ( Shall we wake them ?)
Arthi : hmmm (ok)
Prakash went close to Raghav and patted on his shoulder but Raghav hissed in annoyance and wrapped hi hand around Malini’s shoulder and leaned closer to sleep.
Bala took a peacock feather from the near by vase and tickled Raghav’s face.
Raghav: Yeh Malu summa iru di… ( hey Malu, keep quite )
Lekha: ayayo. vena yedhachum sollida poraru ( oh no, he might blurt out something)
Sanjay: Dey Raghav….. Deiiiiii
Raghav and Malini jerked and stood up. They saw all their friends staring at them.
Raghav: Yenda ippadi kathura? ( Why are you looking like that ?)
Prakash: Loosungala vidinjuduchu da (crazy fellows its already morning)
Malini: Naa poi fresh ayitu tea podren ( I will go fresh up )
Raghav: Nanum poi fresh ayitu varen ( even I will go fresh up)
Sanjay: Thambi rendu perum onna fresh aga poringala? ( Brother are you planning get freshed together ?)
Prakasg: Indha pudhusa kalyanam aanavanga kooda stay panna ippadi pakka vendi varum nu theriyama poche. ( I didn’t know that we had to see all these if stayed with a newly wed couple)
Raghav sat back in the couch to avoid further embarassment.
Raghav: Seri whats your plans for today?
Arthi: Innaikku lal bagh and bannarghata zoo polam. ( Today we are going to Lal bagh and Bannaarghata zoo)
Raghav: Seri paathu ponga. ( Ok,go safely)
Malini helped maid to get the breakfast arranged and meanwhile Raghav was getting ready in their room. He took the shirt Malini bought for him and wore it. Standig infront of the mirror he touched the fabric and rolled his sleeves to his elbow.
Raghav: Semmaya select panni irukka. Return gift kandippa tharanume…. enna pannalam Malini ennoda wallet enga … inga vaa konjam ( She made a good choice and sure deserve a return gift but what should I give her ….. Malini where is my wallet ? Come here )
Malini: Varen Raghav… (coming Raghav)
Malini entered the room and saw the wallet right infront of him on the table and glared at him.
Malini: Inga thane irukku apram …. ( It is here only right then…)
She stopped speaking further and looked at him wearing the shirt she bought.
Malini: Raghav super ah irukku. did you like it ? ( Raghav its very nice. Do you like it )
Raghav: Idhukku than vara sonnen. Super ah irukku la.. ( i called you for this, it very nice right ?)
Malini: Select pannadhu naa Mr. Raghav ( It was me who selected it Mr. Raghav)
Raghav: Good choice Mrs. Raghav…
He pulled her kissed her forehead bringing a shy on her face.
Malini: Seri vaa time agudhu. (ok, now come its getting late)
Raghav Mv: Return gift thara pazhakkam eppo varumo. ( When will she have the habit of returning gifts )
After breakfast Raghav left to office and the friends gang started for their next day out. The reached the zoo. They spent time till 2p.m and then left from there to have lunch. They reached restaurant and took enough time to finish the lunch and relax after having walked for a long time in the zoo.
Lekha: Avlo dhan I will not come out tomorrow. suthama mudiyala only rest at home. ( Thats it , I m not coming out tomorrow. I can’t… only rest at home)
Sanjay: sathyama ennalayum mudiyadhu pa. ( I swear , I too can’t )
Later they reached the lal bagh garden and enjoyed the spending time there. The flowers gave a calmness and freshness to the soul. They clicked many pics and Malini sent Raghav the photos they clicked there.
Raghav who was busy got the messgae notification and saw it was from Malini. He immediately opened it and saw the photos admiring it.
He transferred the photos to his laptop and changed the wall paper to one of Malini’s photo where she sitting near on the park ground and many roses behind her. Her infectious smile made his day.
Raghav: I will never ask you to smile but I will be the reason for your smile…..
Raghav informed that he will be coming late and asked them to have dinner and retire to sleep. He had a spare key and could open the door to so all their friends had their dinner out and reached home.
Lekha: I m going to sleep..
Bala: Nanum pa. Semma tired.. ( Me too , very tired)
Malini went along with Arthi and Lekha but they stopped her.
Lekha: Nee poi unga room la thoongu. ( You go sleep in your room)
Malini: Anga anna lam thoonguvanga ( Brothers are sleeping there )
Sanjay: Illa Malini naanga hall la thoongurom nee po. ( No, Malini we are sleeping in the hall only)
Malini: Anna please ulla poi thoongunga ( bro, please go sleep in the room )
Bala laid on the couch and slept leaving them to converse and Pugazh got a pillow and spread a blanket and laid to sleep.
Sanjay: Already two are settled so you go
Malini checked on Arthi and Lekha and they too slept so she went to their room and waited for Raghav watching K series in her mobile.
