The sun slowly started rising from the back of the most beautiful " Malaikotai "of the most beautiful city. The bell from the highly stood uchi pillaiyar temple echoed through the hill indicating the early morning Pooja.

A double storey house stood majestically towards the right of the uchi pillaiyar temple at a walkable distance.

Arunachalam was settled on the easy chair flipping through the newspapers while the help of the house Vali gave him a coffee cup.

Arunachalam: Nandri ma.. he got it from her and sipped it.

Vali smiled " tiffen airuchu ayya sapdringala? "

Arunachalam: Na enaiku ma thaniya saptu irukan.. ellarum elunthutangala?

" Elango Anna elunthu office ku ready aitu irukaru.. Ajay thambi Jogging poi irukaru " Vali said while folding and arranging the newspaper.

Arunachalam: Apa avunga vantha apram ah saptu Karan ma.. nee poi velaiya paru.. he said, giving the coffee cup back.

" Ayoo marantha poitan.." Vali exclaimed with her palms on head.

" Hmm... inaiku enatha marantha? " He said with a tone like he was used to her short time memory loss.

" Illa Maya paapa ungaluku coffee kuduka kudathu.. athuku bathil ah athu etho.. aah.. health mix athu tha kudukanum soluchu.. atha tha marantan.. " she said in an innocent tone.

" Avalo thena.. Nee Inga coffee kuduthaiya illa.. Vera kuduthaiya nu Bangalore la iruka avuluku enna theriyum? " He said before grabbing the newspaper once again.

" Ayoo Ayya ungaluku vishiyama theriyatha?" She asked in a surprise tone.

" Ennathu? " He asked with a frown.

" Paapa nethu night ah veetuku vanthuruchu.. na tha kathuvu theranthu vitan.. nera unga room ku thena vanthuchu... ellaru room ku poitu apram tha athu room ka pochu.. "

" Olaratha ma.. nee ethachu kanavu kandu irupa.. poi velaiya paru po.. " he tried to concentrate on his paper.

" Na ella olarala ga ayya neenga tha thoongi elunthathu pethiya pathathava marantinga.. "

Arunachalam sighed before looking at Vali sternly " Inga paru En Uma en kita solama ethuvum pana mata.. Inga varatha en kita solala.. so varathuku chance illa.. "

" Apa Luggage mattum enna parantha vanthuchu.. illa veliya nikutha car uh athu thanala vanthu Inga nidrucha... " She asked in a fed up tone trying to convince him.

" Luggage uh Car ah? " He frowned and looked outside only to gasp.

" ipa aachu nambaringala?"

" Ada ama.. Uma epa vantha?.. en kita ethuma solala.. "

" Night oru 3,4 mani irukum.. unga kita soli irupanu ninachan.. "

" 3 mani ku vanthatha nee innum solama enna panitu iruka? "

" Ayya ivalo neram na atha thena solitu iruntha.." Vali asked in a genuinely confused tone.

" Ayoo nee mothala naguru.. na poi en Uma va pakanum " he literally pushed aside Vali and jogged upstairs making her sigh.

" Vali.. mama yen ipadi odararu.. ? '' Elangovan walked out of his room and frowned at Arunachalam.

" Atha yen Anna kekaringa.. Maya night ah vanta illa.. atha sona athuku tha ipadi poraru.. " she shook her head and turned to leave.

" Ethu Maya vantala? " He exclaimed.

" Ayoo enna anna neengalum ipadi kekaringa.. Ava unga room ku night vanthala "
