Maaran was standing on the terrace and watched Maya and Jenny helping Maha’s mother watering the plants in the backyard. It was evening after Sathya and Maha’s engagement, Madan and Jenny had arrived the previous day. They were about to leave the next morning, but he found no changes in Maya’s behavior. He did not want to disturb Maha on her special day so decided to speak to her later.
He turned to his right hearing a voice and found Maha on the doorstep.
Maha: Inga irukingala.. ella pakamum theditu varan.. she spoke as she walked to him.
Maaran: Enna aachu ?
Maha peeked down and looked at Maya before looking at Maaran back.
Maha: Maya pathi therinjuka vendama ?
Maaran: athu kaga thena nan ivalo kasta padran..
Maha: hm.. Maya yen ipadi irukanu ungaluku theriyum ah ?
Maaran: atha sonana ?

Maaran thought for some time before he had an expression of realization: I remember something.. antha incident munadi Maya enaku message anupi iruntha.. Athula papa ku ethachu na.. enala ennava manichuka mudiyathu sona.. so this is related to that right ?
Maha: absolutely… Ava unga naala kolantha eranthuruchunu ninaikala… Ava Naala tha ippadi agiruchu nu nambara.. atha avala Ava nalaiya manika mudila.
Maaran: ana paapa eranthathu common nu illa doctor sonanga..ithula Ava mela thapu iruku nu Ava yen ninaikanum.
