Love Only Happens Once... Don't Miss It

Chapter 24

When they were ready they met up with everyone else at their rooms. They brought over all their suitcases as well, so that Kavya could have her room back. "I think I'm going to bunk here until Praveen comes back from his meeting, and u can continue to stay in my room, what do you think Priya?" Kavya asks, sitting on top of her suitcase. "I think that's a fantastic idea Kavya! But I feel like you've already decided that you're going to stay here and are just asking me for the sake of it." Priya waggles her finger with a smile. "How did you know?" Kavya asks surprised. "I know how persuasive these two can get, and their tactics to make it seem like it's my idea. Plus even if I try to argue back it would never work." Priya said pointing to Vaishu and Sukanya. They all share a laugh and a hug before heading down to the lobby to meet Biju and Ashok.

This time, Priya climbs into the front with Biju, leaving a fuming Arjun being forced to sit in the back with Manoj. "Aw, is kutty Arjun sad that his love sat without him despite everything yesterday?" Manoj whispers. "Hey, it's payback for when you sat there when we came," Sukanya adds, leaning into the aisle. "I'm going to murder you both if you don't shut up now." Arjun threatens, resulting in a big laugh from the two. He looks up to Priya, to see her struggling to control her laugh, looking at him through the inner mirror. He glares at her, and she responds by squishing her eyes together with a big smile, before sticking out her tongue slightly. Fortunately, no one noticed their little moment, or knew Arjun was way too angry to be teased right then.

"Seri, so the first stop on our massive tour is downtown Toronto," Ashok starts. "We're entering the busiest part of the city right now, but it's so busy that it'll take another couple hours to actually get off the highway and inside the city." "Another few hours in traffic?" Vaishu whines. "By the time we get there, we'll probably miss our plane back!" Jai adds, looking at the cars in front of them. Priya and Arjun share a knowing look, hearing the two complain together. "Wait, do we have any food? We're going to starve in here!" Manoj exclaims, holding his stomach. They all laugh at his priorities, while Ashok reaches underneath his seat to pull out snacks. "You know me too well." Manoj sighs, grabbing the snacks. "Maybe too well for comfort," Ashok laughs, teasing him. "Hey, we should play a game!" Kavya exclaims. "Great idea! But what game?" Karthik asks, thinking. "How about paathuku paathu?" Priya asks. "Oh gosh, it's been so long since I played that!" Biju exclaims. "I think the last time was actually at your birthday party, like four years ago!" "Omg it's been that long? Chechi and I play it every weekend!" Vaishu laughs. "Oh! We should do girls vs boys!" Sukanya adds. "But there's two more boys..." Jai says, counting. "That's fine, we have the best singers, we can still beat you!" Sukanya laughs. "Seri who starts now?" Karthik asks. "You start Karthik," Kavya urges. "Fine," he smiles and sings.
"Thuli Thuli Thuli Mazhaiyaai Vanthaaley
Suda Suda Suda Marainthey Ponaaley
Paarthal Paarka Thondrum
Perai Ketka Thondrum
Poo Pol Sirikum Podhu
Kaatrai Paranthida Thondrum"
"Okay stop!" Priya smiles, "Thondrum so mana varaisaiyil [starts with the letter m]" "I have one!" Kavya smiles and sings.
"Maduraikku pogathadi
Anga malli poo kanna vekkum
Thanjaavur pogaathadi
Thala aataama bomma nikkum
Thoothukudi pona sila kappal kara thattum
Kodaikaanal pona anga megam unna suthum"
Priya, Vaishu and Sukanya join in for the next part.
Asaruthu asaruthu orr mothamaa
Athu enna athu enna un kuthamaa (x2)
"Kuthamaa, so mana varaisai again" Arjun says. "Hey, no cheating!" Priya exclaims. "Yah, since we already did ma just now, you have to do aa!" Vaishu finishes. "What?!" All the boys except Biju look at each other confused. "That is how we played it," Biju shrugs. Groaning, Manoj starts the next song.
"Aalaporan tamizhan ulagam ellame
Vetrimagan vazhithaan inime ellame
Veeranna aarunu indha naattuke
Avan sonnaane
Vaayilla maatukum ada needhiya
Avan thanthanee...
Ooooooo...
"Sounds like a stronger eh sound than la, and since you didn't use any of them during your turn, we can use either." Kavya laughs.
Vaishu sings this turn
"Lesa Lesa Nee Illamal Vaazhvathu Lesa
Lesa Lesa Nee Illamal Vaazhvathu Lesa
Lesa Lesa Neenda Kaala Uravithu Lesa
Kaathal Devan Koyil Thedi Varigurathey Viraiviniley
Color Color Kanavugal Vizhigayile
Unakenave Ulaginilae Piranthavalae"
"Hah, stuck with eh!" Sukanya laughs. Ashok jumps in.
"Ei Sandakkaara Kundu Muzhiyila
Rendu Uyira Thedi Paayuthu
Kuthu Sanda Ithoda Nippaattu Pothum
Mutha Sanda Ennoda Nee Poda Vaenum
Thanimai Thoratha Azhayuraen Naanum
Manasa Theranthu Enna Kaappaathu

Thedi Kattikka Poraen
Thaavi Ottikka Poraen
Thaali Kattikka Poraen Aama
Mothi Mochikka Poraen
Paathi Pichikka Poaren
Paavi Vechikka Poraen Aama"
Now Sukanya sings
"Malargalae Malargalae Ithu Enna Kanavaa
Malaigalae Malaigale Ithu Enna Ninaivaa
Urugiyathey Enathullam.. Perugiyathey Vizhivellam..
Vinnodum Nee Thaan, Mannodum Nee Thaan..
Kannodum Nee Thaan, Vaa.. Aaa.. Aaa

Maegam Thiranthu Vanthu Mannil Irangi Vanthu
Maarbil Olinthu Kolla Vaa Vaa..
Maarbil Olinthu Kondaal Maatham Anbu Varum
Koonthalil Olinthu Kolla Varavaaa
En Koonthal Daevan Thoongum Palli Araiya Araiya?"
Jai jumps in
"Yaar Intha Penthaan Endru Kaetaen Munnalae
Ival Enthan Paathi Endru Kandaen Thannalae
Ennai Paarkiraal Aetho Kaetkiraal
Engum Irukiraal Ho Ho Ho..
Kannaal Sirikiraal Munnal Nadakiraal
Nenjai Kizhikiraal Ho Ho Ho.."
Vaishu jumps in again
"Oothaa Coloru Ribbon.. Unakku Yaaru Appan
Ae Solladai Avanuku Naan Salaam Podanum
Nee Solladai Avanuku Naan Salaam Podanum

Rojaa.. Rojaa..
Rojaa Coloru Bommi.. Unakku Yaaru Mummy
Rojaa Coloru Bommi.. Unakku Yaaru Mummy"
Biju finally joins in
"Eeramaana Rojaavae Ennai Paarthu Moodathae
Eeramaana Rojaavae Ennai Paarthu Moodathae
Kannil Enna Sogam Pothum Aengaathae.. En Anbae Aengaathae
Eeramaana Rojaavae Ennai Paarthu Moodathae
Kannil Enna Sogam Pothum Aengaathae.. En Anbae Aengaathae"
Priya finally lends her voice
"Ye sandi kuthira vaayendi ethira
mathura kuthura ethire vanthaa
mogana mogana.naanum un.maamana
maaravaa bheemana vaayen kitta kitta
vaaya thatchu vitta"
Arjun smiles and sings
Dandanakkaa

Dandanakkaa nakkaa!!
Yenga thala

Sentimentula thaarmaaru.
Maythili kadhali innaaru
Avar unmayaa

Manasula ariyaama.
Love pannaadhadaa

At this point, everyone starts singing, forgetting the teams. They sing the whole song and laugh when Biju happily announces that they got off the highway.
