The Tale of Magic

Chapter 8

"Chellama, nee romba tired ah Iruka mathri iruku shoot romba hectic ah?"
Priya asked looking at the tired Shreya.

"Aama ka, romba hectic ah poguthu. Aana nan tired ah lam illa. Strong body ka! Nan Rowdy theriyum la, ithuke tired aita epdi?!"

Akash chuckled hearing her say "Rowdy".

"Ey nee innum intha rowdy thanatha vidalaya!"
Shreya smiled sheepishly earning a glance from Priya.

"Mm seri seri, inikki shoot epdi pochu?".

"Semmaya pochu ka! Judges lam semmaya impress aitanga. Inikki epdiyo danger zone ku pogama thapichuten. Manoj annavum Pratheeka akka vum eppavum pola kalaichanga. Sri iniki set ku vantha. Romba naal kalichu pesunom. Jolly ah pochu".
Shreya said in a breath.

Akash gasped at how fast she spoke.
"Pah, pada pada pada nu poguthu. Konjam moochu vidu ma". He said.

Shreya couldn't help but blush.

Priya who kept noticing her blush,
"Hey, nanum pathen nee vanthathula irunthu Akash ah pathu vekka patute iruka. Ipdilam Panna matiye, enna aachu?"

"Ah thu, tha dha pa-"

"Hey ozhunga sollu di!"

"Illa ka, CK la avara pathuruken. Avaru mela apo la irunthe oru chinna crush uh-".

"Ohoh athan vishiyama! Athana pathen, ennada madam ipdi vekka padrangale nu. Iru ipo enna panrenu paru."

"Akka akka enna kaa!?"
Before Shreya could figure out what Priya said, she already started talking to Akash.

"Bro neenga Crazy Kadhal oda Crazy fan ah pathurukingala?"

"Crazy fan ah! Illaye."

"Tho unga Kannu munnadiye irukale. Shreya CK oda periya fan. Ava antha short film ah kitta thatta ipo varaikum oru 10000 vaati pathurupa athula-"
Before she could finish, Shreya shut her mouth with her hands.

"Athu onnum illa, athula vantha song ah padunathu en friend uh Sri than. Athan antha song kaga neraiya vaati movie ah pathuruken vera onnum illa Akashey." Finished shreya.

"Ohh, nane athana vaati pathuruka maten en padatha. Epdi ma?"

"Enna solringa! Athu enna mathri padam athulayum neenga irukingale, pahh semma smart ah irupinga, antha blue shirt uh, trimmed beard uh, antha bullet bike uh, antha silver kaapu, apram unga expressions uh yebba apram antha song la vara visuals, tune, neenga solra dialogues ellame avalo super ah irukum! Cinematography la irunthu direction, costume designing, acting nu ellame pakka mass! Athunalaye antha padatha Nan athana vaati pathuruken. Neenga vera semma super ah act panirpinga, and athula semma handsome ah irupinga. Athula irunthe enaku unga mela oru chinna crush uh, apram epdi paakama-"
She realised what she had just said and bit her tongue.

Both Priya and Akash where shocked as hell. Akash didn't expect her to declare openly that she had a crush on him. He was more than surprised to know that someone loved his work, and more than that noticed every single minute detail about him and his project. After going through a lot of rejections, and when even the people he trusted the most failed to recognise him, this 19 year old girl sitting in the back of his car made him feel extremely special. His mind which was surrounded by dark clouds few hours ago, was now crystal clear with a beautiful rainbow shining. He wondered how a girl like this could absorb so much!.

"Nee vera level la irukiye ma! Ivalo minute ah ellathayum note panirka. Yaarume ipdi en projects pathi pesunathe illa. You made me feel so much special. Thanks a lot ma."

Shreya couldn't understand why this little compliment made him feel special. He was a hero, and more than anything he's so much handsome! She thought this wasn't an drop of a ocean comparing the compliments he could've got. She asked in surprise,

"Enna ipdi solringa! Ithelam onnume illaye. Neenga evalo super actor, ungaluku ithuku mela compliments vanthurukume, ithuku en ivalo surprise aguringa?"

He chuckled at her innocence.
"Illa ma. This is the best compliment I've ever received. I'm not that much of a great actor as you think. I'm just a beginner, for the past 7 years. No one ever recognised me for my work. Rejections, and hardwork athu mattum than en life ah irunthuruku for the past years. No one believed me. Neither they were ready to support my passion. Except for my mom and sister, everybody doubted me. Ipo kooda my father and brother in law call me to come back and take over my family business. Nee ipo sonna ovuvuru varthaiyum, it made me feel so much special ma. Even though you said about the whole movie, enna pathi extra va sonnathu ennavo vaanathula parakura mathri iruku". He said and smiled a little.

Shreya didn't know what to say. He made her emotional. She never thought how much actors have to go through. She had to say something.

"Ayo! Ithelam enaku theriyave theriyathu Akashey. Neenga feel panathinga, you have a lot of talent and perseverance. Konja naal ungala stalk paniruken.Hardwork um neraiya potrukinga nu theriyum. Kandipa unga talent ku neenga seekrame periya edathuku povinga. Kavalaye padathinga. Nan solren la! Nadakutha illayanu mattum parunga. Ellame Kadavul setting than Akashey. Seekrame neenga innum neraiya movies panuvinga, nan atha pathu ungala rasichute irupen"
She said.

Akash couldn't help but blush and chuckle. He turned and gave her a bright smile. Akash knew she was a bundle of positivity. She made him smile effortlessly with her words. He wondered how much maturity she had. When even his father couldn't trust his talents and passion, this girl whom he met not even 2 hours ago believed him so much. He felt his heavy heart lighten down.

"Ma, nee nejamave vera level. Thanks ma."

Priya was still a silent observer of all these happenings.

"Ada ponga Akashey chumma vera level vera level nu! Enaku oru mathri iruku."

"Ahem ahem" priya fake coughed to get the attention of these two.

"Nan oruthi inga irukenu knayabagam Iruka? Rendu perum thani ulagathula Iruka mathri non stop ah pesite irukinga! Shreya pesurathula aachiryam illa, Ava eppavum ipdi than. Akash bro, neenga ivalo pesuvangala? Enaku ipo than theriyuthu. Pah, neenga nadathunga ya nan apdiye orama okandhukuren."

Both Akash and Shreya burst out laughing and within few seconds, Priya couldn't help but join them along.
