Anirudh wakes up and groggily sits on the bed. He looks around confused before realising he is in Malar's room. He smiled and shook his head, seeing Bruce Lee's poster staring directly at him from the wall before him.
He walks out of the room to see Malar watching TV.
He settles next to her as she asks, "Nalla thoonginiya?"
Anirudh nods smiling happily, "Hmm, I slept like a log.Nee veliya ponathu kooda theriyula."
"Vitula seriya thoongarudhu ille? Yen ivlo tired?", Malar asks concerned.
Anirudh smiles sheepishly, "Nightu lam compose panuven. Appo dhan inspiration strikes."
Malar glares at him, "Appo kalaila thoongu. Thookathe skip panni lam vela seiyanum nu avasiyam ille. Purinjitha?"
"Seringa madam", Anirudh grins, making Malar shake her head.
Anirudh looks at his watch before asking, "Aunty uncle lam enga? Na vituku kelamburen, enga Amma call mela call panitu irrukanga."
"Nee kelambu, na Amma appa kitta sollikren. Avanga thoonguranga nu nenaikuren. Ana Sakthi mela dhan irrupan.", Malar says.
Anirudh nods and walks up to Sakthi's room.
Sakthi looks up from his laptop when Anirudh enters.
"Na kelamburen", Anirudh says.
"Seri da pathu poitu va.", Sakthi responds.
Anirudh walks back down and Malar waves to him from the sofa. He wishes her bye before walking out to his car.
In his room, Sakthi continues typing on his laptop before suddenly stopping. Now he has something else to do other than work. He grins before closing his laptop and dialling Sadhana's number.
"Hello? Sadhana speaking", Sakthi hears a professional voice on the other side.
"Nan Sakthi", Sakthi says grinning.
Sakthi hears her smile as she says, "Oh neengala? Ippe dhan call pannanum nu thonicha?"
"Adhu vandhu, v-vela", Sakthi hesitates making Sadhana giggle.
"Appo Malar sonnadu correctu dhan, you are a workaholic", Sadhana says shaking her head.
Sakthi smiles sheepishly before his voice turns serious, "Konjam workaholic dhan, ana adhuku oru reason irukku."
"Hmm sollu.", Sadhana says becoming serious after noticing his change of tone.
"Na college le irukkum bothu oru ponne love pannen. Peru Anushka. She was in the same class as me and we were sort of friends. Na avala love pannen, so I confessed. But she rejected me because she already had a boyfriend. Aduku aprom, it was a rough few years for me. But eventually, I got over it by finding solace in my job. So I think of my job as something precious to me.", Sakthi finished taking a deep breath.
Sadhana smiled, "Neenga unga job ah ivlo pudichi panringa, so I will never complain about it. Na chumma joke dhan pannen. And unga past is nothing but your past, so present le na yen worry pannanom.On the other hand, I'm happy that you felt comfortable enough to share this with me. Kalyanuthiku aprom, I won't force you to give attention to me or anything. We both have our jobs, irrespective of that, we are getting married so I know how to balance my personal and work life.", Sadhana says.
Sakthi tears up a little at what she says but he clears his throat to cover it up.
Sadhana understand and grins, "Yenna sir konjam emotional ah ayitinga pole irrukku?"
Sakthi immediatly says, "Na unna pakanum.Ippove."
Sadhana blushes before saying, "Innum 30 minutes le shift mudinjirum, hospital vandhu pick up pannikonga.Address anipuren."
