"Can I ask Google😉", was the immediate reply. Kathir saw it at once, but couldn't respond as his friends were dragging him out of his cabin.
"Dei, eppa pathalum phoneu.. Oru varam kalichu ippo thaana 4 Mani neram pirinchiruka..Mani 2 achu, va da olunga"
They finally managed to get him out. On the way to canteen, while others were randomly chitchatting about things, he replied her.
"No, not even Google. Naan lunch ku poren, text you later😚"
*Mullai was surprised by the reply (Not by the smiley, by the content😛)*
"Apdi Google kooda panna mudiyatha alavu ennava irukum"
"Epdiyum namma paatha avaruka theriyava poguthu. Come on, Enna Enna Enna Enna!!!"
She quickly copied the text and pasted it in Google translate. Just before clicking the enter, she stopped! When he wanted it to be a surprise, why to spoil it?
"Vara varaikum wait panlama, hmm 4 5 Mani neram thaana wait panuvom"
*2.05*
*She again copied the text and pasted it in translate. Kept her thumb near the enter tab, but didn't click*
"Wait pannen di, Oru 4 hrs thaana. Time pass aga chithi iniku irukunu sonna sadanga pathi ketutu varuvom, poi Enna nu Ketale, 1 hr poidum, ithu maranthrum..Hmm povom"
*She went to one of the relatives and asked about the customs to be followed today and it's background. While she started to explain, Mullai kept looking at the phone*
"Ennama purushan phone panvana nu pathutu irukiya"
"Ila ila, athellam ila.. chumma time ennanu"
"Vekka padatha Mullai, puthu ponnu na aarvama thaan irukum. Ithellam pagal la venam, rathiri vechiko🤭"
"Uhnkmm, apdiye rathiri vantha mattum.. I love you nu 4 thadava solli kooda, manushan 2 adi thalli thaana irukaru😏", M murmurs.
"Ennapa"
"Onnum Ila, friends ellam text panite irukanga, athaan"
"Seri nee ulla po, prachana ila"
"Ila Ila itha ketu mudichite poren"
"Paaraa.. puthu marumaga impress panrale"
"Hehe"
*Time 2.20. She couldn't control the excitement and sent a text to him*
"Call after lunch", but the message was not delivered.
"Adapaavi, net off paniyacha"
*Kathir knew she would reply, but considering his friends unlimited teasing pack, he switched off the net to avoid disappointing her*
(Pinna, puthu pondatti message anupi one hour kalichu reply panna kochikuvaala😛)
*Here, Chithi was detaily explaining why that particular custom is followed. But Mullai couldn't listen, she just heard some voice. Her mind was totally into decoding that message*
"Tamil padika kathukanum Seekram"
*Time 2.40. She kept checking her mobile for double tick, but duh! Nope*
"Innuma sapadraru.. urghhh!!"
*Finally chithi completed the story at 2.45 and Mullai went to her room*
"Ithuku Mela poruka mudiyathu. Sorry Mr. Husband, time for Google!!"
She sent him a text "Google translate is calling me"
*Again the same procedure. Copy. Paste. Should I press enter?*
"Ayoo, kolrane. Iru Mullai, konjam neram iru.. innum 15 mins thaan, lunch mudincha odane call panni ketarlam, wait wait wait"
*She took a book from a shelf and started reading it*
Time 2.59
"Call panuvom..", she dialed his number and he attended in half ring.
"Google la pathutiya"
"Ama", she lied for fun.
"Paakatha nu sonenla😣"
"Athuku apuram thaan Google call panuche"
"Athu edukatha nu sonene"
"Athu eppo", she checked the WhatsApp and saw "Don't attend the call"
"Ohhh"
"Ippo thaan pakriya"
"Hmm.."
"Seri Enna soluchu un Google😒"
"I didn't like the saree you wore yesterday" nu soluchu 🤭
(Kaasa Panama adichuvudu)
"Ethu😳😳😳"
"Red saree azhaga irukunu nethu soninge, Ana ippo pudikalanu message anupringa😏 inimel pudikalana nerlaye sollunga naan kochika maten😒"
"Hey naan apdi ellam sollave Ila, nee thappa search paniruka🙄"

"Seri, antha saree nalalana Varum pothu ungaluku pidicha maari onnu vangitu vanga"
"Ey, en di nee vera.. athu Ila"
"Ethu Ila"
"Athaan saree", he said in a gloomy voice and Mullai couldn't help but burst out in laughter.
"Iva en thidirnu sirikara, Enna achu di"
"Nalla emanthingala😂😂"
"Enna🙄"
"Chumma vilatuku sonna apdiye nambringa🤭"
"Adipaavi😬😬 screenshot ellam katrenu sonniye di"

"Seri sollunga, Enna athunu"
"Nakkal pannitila, evening variakum wait pannu Po"
"Hello hello hello"
"Byeeeee", the line was cut.
"Ayoo innum 4 hrs ah 😧"
