The magical part is fully imaginary, I hope my first ever attempt at this subgenre is satisfactory to my readers.

Author's POV:

"Cha, oru vela ungalala urupadiya seiya mudiyala! Secretary solran, neenga 3 perum sanda potinga nu..." Krishnan was frustrated and he threw the newspaper on Shiva's face.

"Athuku enna yen pa adikaringa? Ivanga rendu perum than-" he pointed Lekha and Rekha.

"Shut up Shiva! Oru annan ah nee than ivangala guide pannanum"

Rekha paved way for their mother, Purnima to enter inside returning from her duty. "Enna nadakuthu inga?"

"Unnoda pasanga office la panna koothu iruke...I'm ashamed!" Krishnan regretted.

"Amma, nethu monthly salary enga bank accounts la vanthuruchu. Rekha ku engala vida salary konjam athigama iruku. Lekha sales book la chinna thappu pannita, avaluku sambalam kammi than. Aana naa work la perfect ah than irunthen, enakum kammi ah iruku" Shiva explained with a sigh.

"Lekha, nee eppadi careless ah irukalam? Unna nambi oru periya poruppa kudutha..."

"Amma, ivan mattum ennatha kilichan? Daily late ah than office varan, athan sambalam enga rendu pera vida kammi" Lekha scoffed.

"Enough! Ungaluku ithu than last warning. Othumaya iruntha mattum office ku vanga, illana resign pannitu poite irunga! Family business ah Rekha paathupa, ava unga rendu perayum vida sincere ah vela seiyara" Krishnan declared with pride.

"Unga kita konjam pesanum" Purnima said to her husband and they walked into their room.

"Ithu pothuma illana innum konjam venuma? Naan than MD aaga poren...confirm!" Rekha stuck her tongue out to make fun of them.

"Appa solra mari naanga resign panniduvom, instead of working under you!" Lekha insulted.

"Sales book la nee kaiya vecha thana prechana...atha naa pathukaren. You can resign" Shiva packed his things and got ready for the office.

Samar made Shalini sit on a chair and he brought another chair forward to sit near her.

"Naa office ku poren la...anga oruthan puthu computer mechanic ah appoint pannirkanga. Appo la irunthu nethu varaikum avana nenichu stress aite irunthen..." she shared.

"Avan peru enna?"

"Solren...."

Five Years Ago...

Shalini sought a company at Trichy for doing a 4 month internship in teaching violin for aspiring children.

She approached a lodge for temporary stay and entered inside the reception whose size was narrow.

A man 6 years older than her with a fair complexion looked at her from top to bottom, working as a receptionist.

He approached her "Hey, Shalini thana?"

"Yeah...neenga?"

"I'm Karthik Lakshmanan, unnoda school la than padichen"

"Oh...enaku seriya nyabagam illa"

"Eppadi nyabagam irukum?" his tone was rude.

"Excuse me?"

"Nee than chinna vayasulaye pala pasangaloda ooru menjitu vanthiye..." he slutshamed her.
