A short update

_______________________________________


Ramya: "Who are you, first of all? What do you and I have in common? I'm only here because you're Mugen's friend."

Vetri: "Ramya, please!"

Ramya: "I don't want to talk. Leave me alone."

Vetri: "But I want to. Just unblock me on everything. Why don't you give us a chance?"

Ramya: "Give us a chance? Are we lovers or something?"

She swallowed her tears and blinked several times.

Ramya: "Are you leaving?"

Vetri: "If you don't talk to me now, I'll go into the sea."

Ramya: "Go ahead, then."

On the secluded private beach, only a few distant figures were visible.

Ramya turned to see him heading towards the water, crossing her arms as she anticipated his usual threats. Suddenly, a massive wave surged over him, causing him to vanish from sight.

Panic-stricken, she cried out for help.

"Vetri! Vetri! Please, don't scare me! Come back!"

Sobbing uncontrollably, she sat on the sand, hugging her knees to her chest, her face buried. She flinched when someone gently placed a hand on her shoulder. Whirling around, she instinctively slapped him.

Ramya - "Arivilla evlo bayanten theriyuma. En da ippadi panra. Nan oruthana love panna...love panra..inimelum panuven...pls purinjika.. enkitta kooda varatha."

Vetri - Nee poi solra.

Ramya - Apo Sivu ku call panni kelu.

Vetri called Sivu.

Vetri - Ramya yarachum love panrala.

Sivu nodded.

Vetri - Hey loosu thalaiya aatama vaaya thoranthu pesu

She hesitantly said "yes", Ramya snatched his mobile and cut the call.

Ramya - podhuma po.

Vetri - breakup aachi na kavala padatha. I will be there for you.

Ramya twisted her lips and moved from there with confusion. Vetri smirked at her confusion, and who didn't know what to do, moved from there to Sivu's house.

Vetri - Suba enaku pasikithu

Suba - Dei en da ipadi nenanji vanthirka. First refresh aagitu va guest room, la un bag kooda anga than iruku..

After freshening up, he returned and settled at the dining table, where she had lovingly prepared his favorite Puri and channa kuruma. With a glance, he conveyed his gratitude, and understanding his unspoken words, she gently fed him. Meanwhile, Rajesh sat on the couch in the living room, absorbed in his newspaper.

Vetri - Mr. Raj neenga sapidala?

Rajesh - yeah. I filled my tummy already.

Vetri - Oh oh...

Suba - vettiya pesama vaaya Thora da

Rajesh - ama ama madam collector uh...enga kitta than vetiya pesuranga

Suba - Newspaper mattum padika sollu da

Vetri - aiaiyaya enna prechana.

Before she could respond, a knock echoed through the door. Moments later, Ashwin and his parents stepped inside.

Suba, having just washed her hands after feeding him, walked into the living room, only to be taken aback by the sight before her.

Vetri, who had followed closely behind, stood beside Ashwin, equally astonished.

Vetri - Dei enna da vasaname puriyala

Ashwin - Vasanama da mukiyam padatha paaru da

(Readers : Dei dei enna da pesuringa)

(Vetri & Ashwin : Summah summah nga single meaning)

Rajesh - Apo seri nanga nalike vanthu paapa va kootitu poidurom.

Ashwin - edheyy? athalam mudiyathu.

Raghav - Dei dei..maanatha vangatha da.

Maha - Athu seri...unga paiyan ungala maari thana irupan. Aana makku paiyan.

Ashwin glared at his mom.

Maha - Anna neenga Monday vanthu kooptukonga sivu va... Saturday nanga avala Kovil ku kootitu poitu Sunday afternoon varuvom. En amma veetu side la irunthu koopidranga. Konja per than varuvanga, so kooptu porom.

Rajesh - Mm seri ma. Nanga Monday veh apo vanthu kooptukurom. Aprm michathulam?

Ashwin - Ahm Mama avaluku exam mudiyatum. Mudinji 15 days aprm vara nalla naal paathukalam...exam tension irukum le avaluku so ipave venam. Aprm exam mudinja elarum irupanga enjoy panatum. Yaarum solathinga avaluku surprise panalam.

All nodded.

Raghavan - dei vetri neeyum vaa da koviluku

Vetri - Aioo illa daddy jii... nan case vishayama Pune poren. Important cases avoid panna mudiyathu.

Ashwin glanced at Vetri from head to toe, prompting Vetri to raise his eyebrows in silent inquiry. Ashwin merely shrugged in response. Eventually, everyone departed, and later, Sivu returned home, exhausted from her day at college. Nowadays, she relies on public transport when Ashwin is unavailable, though he often picks her up and drops her off when he can.

That very day, Ramya unblocked him on all the apps.

She seemed unusually downcast, and though her parents inquired, she skillfully dodged the topic. She took a leave from college, citing a headache, but the real reason was Vetri's request to meet him at the private beach.

Vetri couldn't quite pinpoint why he was drawn to her; perhaps it was the way her eyes spoke as eloquently as her words. For the past two years, he had been in love with her but hadn't confessed. He often flirted with other girls, hoping to make her jealous, but this strategy had backfired. Known for his casual and friendly demeanor, Vetri interacted easily with everyone.

Ramya, a friend of Sivangi, had mastered the art of concealing her feelings. She had been nursing a one-sided love for over four years, only to be betrayed unknowingly, which fueled her distrust of others, including Vetri. Sivangi was aware of everything and Ramya extracted a promise from Sivangi not to reveal her secret to anyone, knowing that Sivangi was very close to Vetri. Little did they know, this promise would be broken in a matter of months.

Upon discovering that she had unblocked him, Vetri immediately posted the song "NANDRI SOLLA UNAKKU VAARTHAI ILLAI ENAKKU" on his Instagram story, with the caption:

"Surely those who need to understand will understand."

Shortly after, comments started pouring in.

Guy 1: "Bro, are these your feelings? Seems like you are in love.

"Vetri replied with a shy emoji (monkey closing eyes).

Then Ashwin responded from his personal account, apr_ashrag.

Ashwin : Ada vendru... Santhosama irukura pora

Vetri replied as "ama macha lite ah. Jealous aagatha"

Ashwin: Vera Vella illa paaru enaku hmmkmm..

Then Anwar comments as

Anwar : Parvala macha...enaku edhuku nandri Ellam

Vetri replied as "unaku poi nandri solli piripen ah? Unaku illa da en tomato"

Anwar again replied to comment as "aanavathula aadatha da."

Ramya, feeling annoyed, muttered to herself, "He's started again, that monkey business.
