Athanala apothu lerndhe ennaku bayam.

Shivali took his right hand and holded it tightly with both of her hands. He saw his hand and at her face. She smiled at him.

Shivs: Ithula bayapada onnum illa Agathiya. Athu etho oru chinna animal dhaane.
Oru vaati athaala ungalku odambu seri illama pochu nu athuku poi bayapudalam ah sollunga. Neenga evlo periya aalu, intha chinna palli ku bayapudalaama?
Innime no fear of lizards. Okay huh ?

Ag: Seringa madam. Neenga sonna correct ah dhan irrukum.

She smiled at him sheepishly and asked him to have his tea.

Shivs: Seri neenga tea kudichitu vaanga, naa keela poren. Bubyee.

She said that and ran downstairs. Then only Agathiya realised his position and what he done few minutes ago.

Ag mv: Adei Agathiya enna da panni vechirka. Bayathula avala ya katti pudipa. Ayo enna nenachirpa nu therilaye. Avlo tight ah vera katti pudichitiye da. Ayo.

He facepalmed himself and took the tea and had it. After that he took his speakers and the tea cup and went down to his room.

Shivali, after coming downstairs, she straight away went to Priti's room and jumped on the bed. She was sweating, her heart beat was fast and she was smiling from ear to ear.

Shivali mv: Ayo kozhandha pa avuru. Palli ah paathu bayandhu, azhudhutare manishan.

She was in her own dreamland and at the same time Priti and Rithika entered the room.

They both saw her sitting in the middle of the bed zoned out. Rithika winked at Priti and both slowly moved to the bed, stood either of side of her.

Rithika: (whispers)1, 2, 3.

Both started tickling either side of her. She started laughing hardly. After about 5 mins,they stopped tickling her and all the three were laughing and panting hardly.

Shivs: Edhuku ipdi?

Priti: Madam etho periya yosanai la irundhinga.

Rithika: Athu mattum illa, madam yosichi sirichitu irundhinga.

Shivs: Athu..athu...onnum illaye.

She visibly stammered. Her cheeks became red and she lowered her head.

Priti: Apdi nanga enna sollitom nu nee ipdi type adikura, vekkam vera padra.

Shivs: Naan ah naa vekkam lam padalaye. Naa eduthuku ka vekka pada poren. Ponga ponga, naa poi kulichitu vandhuren.

Saying so she took a towel and was about to run to the washroom.

Priti: Hey iru Shivs. Naanga solla vandhadhaye marandhutom.

Shivs: Ennathu ka. Sollunga.

Priti: Athu inniku kovil ku ponum ahm, athanala saree katta sonnanga amma.
