Adhu yenna yeppa pathalum butterflies?

She asked caressing the bracelet he had gifted her on her birthday. He smiled before pulling her to sit on his lap with his hands wounded around her waist.

Yenna enaku butterflies'ah pudichae madhiri unnayum pudhikum. Adhan...

She pouted,

Butterflies'um nanum onna?

He chuckled before pecking on her pouty lips,

Ama

Appo yenna nee insect'nu solriya?

He laughed throwing his head back earning a smack on his chest.

Apdhi illama!

She scrunched her nose in confusion. He sighed shaking his head,

Ippo butterfly yengerndhu varudhu?

Cocoon lerndhu

She answered obediently as he nodded appreciatively as he made her head lay on his chest,

Adhu ulla yevlo dark'la irundhu thaniya kashta pattalum, veliya varumbothu azhaga getha varum.

He gave a quick peck to her invitingly parted lips,

Adhe madhiri dhan neeyum

Naa na?

He hummed,

Nee ivlo naal yevlo kastham, yevlo abuses, yevlo insecurities, yellathayum thaniyave dhan face pannirkae.

Adhi tucked a strand of hair that fell on Dhira's face,

Analum en life'ah yevlo azhaga akkurae'la? Adhunala dhan nee ennaku butterfly.

But even after the long emotional explanation, Dhira seemed quite unconvinced that she kept staring at Adhi quizzically.

Yen ma?

Nee maths professor'ah illa science professor'ah?

Adhi glared at Dhira who chuckled nervously upon his scoff,

Illa, oru butterfly'ku ivlo lengthy'ah explain panniye adhan....

Before she knew it, Dhira was tackled into Adhi's couch.

Adhira jerked opened her eyes only to realise that she's been dreaming but strangely felt surreal. Suddenly memories she never knew she had started flashing in her mind.

" Neenga Maths professor dhane?
Adhan moonja ipdhi problem'la irukura madhiriye vechirukingala?"

"Un peru yenna?
Oh adhan anju adi ku mela valarame irukiya?"

~

"Yenna vaathiyare?! Indha pakom?"

"Azhagana vanga'nu illa but at least I try to befriend people who are not absurd!"

~

"Mess is untidy, mess has to be dealt with. Mess is the first sign of trouble."

"That is you, Adithya, that is reality. Adha accept panni parunga, appo theriyum, reality yevlo azhaga irukumnu"

~

"Safe'ah?"
"Safe'ah"

~

"Nee en friend'uh Adithya
Naa unna yepdi Anna'nu lam koopdha mudhiyum?"
