Dasa will pilot the aircraft. He wants to be away from the mad crowd. He can hide himself in the cockpit and allow whomever he wants and whenever he wants. He gets the seat of authority and also has a top secret.
Atina has been crowned the "IF Chakravarthini" and so wants to maintain her status. She gets priority boarding and sits in the first class lounge. She has some milagai bajji and a nice long fruit cocktail in front of her.
Caryn is already busy watching " Who wants to be a Millionaire?" and counting the number of idiots in the program. She finds it difficult to decide which is more funny – the idiots in front of the camera or their life line friends!!!!
Rathy and Rhodes are at loggerheads!!!! Rathy is trying to impress that Tamil language is all about grammar and Rhodes cant agree with that.. "What is the use of grammar if u don't have the fonts??" They look for support from their only student, Giri but Giri is busy elsewhere.
Giri is busy converting all English nursery rhymes into Tamil. Right now she has " baa baa black sheep" on her hand and she is singing " vaa vaa karuppu aadu, kambli vaichirikkiya?"
Uma reminds everyone that it is Valentine's day and is seen handing over pop corn packets. Meli is adamant that she wants only salted peanuts – a small fist fight ensues and there is a danger of the "love day " turning into " vov vov day"!!!
Serial has changed avtar again. She finds it difficult to say " Oh my God" every time she comes across Roja and Giri and so wants to save her energy. And she doesn't want to umpire any more boxing events – she was hit badly by all the IF members only recently –
all thought that they were attacking the devil duo and Serial ended up at the receiving end.
Pat is very tired after handing out "pattams" for everyone. She has a " Bootha kannadi" in her hand and scanning the list of IF Tamil Serials' fans – concerned that she should not leave out anyone and finding suitable pattams.
Roja is still on ground and has some discussions with the ground crew. The tech. is telling her something and she is making signs with her hand as if she is learning to operate a lever.
All seems to be quiet and serene on board. Now, Roja is seen climbing the stair case – the already pressurized cabin becomes more taut and there is an audible collective gasp. Dasa quickly secures his door and double checks the latch. He also checks his secret switch and finds it in shipshape. Atina draws the curtain around her. Uma and Meli stop hobnobbing and settle for pop corn. There is a visible tension but Roja is oblivious to all this. She slowly climbs and goes to the last row with her head bowed as if she is watching her every step. She has no luggage except for a coil of thick rope.
Usha and Oyvu have volunteered to be the co-pilot and hostess respectively. Oyvu doesn't realize that she will be made to forget her forum name very soon - she is going to be on her toes until they land.
Flight PAR 172 takes off to "Mayajal" island. All are set to take all the rides and play all games possible. Giri being Giri, is unable to accept Roja's calm exterior. "Pambin kaal pambariyum" – she knows that Roja is up to something and wants to be part of it. But Roja is extremely tight lipped!!!
The flying time will be around 3 hrs and Oyvu is already serving cocktails. Roja politely refuses the drink and Giri does the same. She has decided that she will ape Roja to the core and find the ultimate truth. All the others are relaxing and sipping their cocktails.
Dasa checks that all doors are closed and switches on the fasten seat belt sign. All except Giri are busy following instructions – Giri has both her eyes on Roja. Roja ties the rope onto her seat and ties the other end around her hip. Giri wants to do the same but Roja refuses to part with her rope. So, Giri takes her dupatta and does like Roja.
Once the aircraft reaches 30,000 ft, Dasa switches over to auto pilot and calls out to Oyvu for his drink He also wants to know about the passenger cabin – if all is ok and if Giri and Roja are behaving themselves. Oyvu is new to this and cant fathom Dasa's concern –
"Is he over reacting???" – but doesn't voice this opinion.
Well, it is landing time and most are asleep. Fasten seat belt sign is on and Dasa opens the secret switch. It is supposed to have a float which will engulf Roja and go around her like an airbag. That will restrict her movements and she cant do any mischief. She can enjoy all rides but sudden movements will not be allowed. After Uma's flying experience, Dasa has taken it up on him to protect everyone without hurting Roja one bit.
Giri is very curious and has become very attentive. She keeps both her eyes on Roja and ready to ape all her actions. Roja pushes the rope a little and moves her seat to the left. Giri does the same and is now in Roja's previous spot. Giri gives a grin and is mightily pleased with herself. Well, she has Roja's seat now and will get whatever Roja was supposed to get.
Roja has her usual wicked grin and just then Dasa pulls his secret switch. The airbag ties Giri and she doesn't know what hit her. She cant move herself in any direction and starts floating!!!! Dasa comes out of the cockpit with a victorious grin and all set to boast to the others asto how he immobilized Roja. He brings all to the back row and is shocked to see Giri tied!!!!!!! Giri is screaming her heart out but Dasa has fixed a timer and cant release Giri for the next 6 hours. Dasa is stunned!!!
Just then Atina gets out of her cubicle and sees all this. "Oh, now I know why Roja had a discussion with the ground crew!!!! She must have known from the beginning Dasa" Dasa is furious - :Atina, u saw all that and didn't tell me???" Atina is cool –" how am I to know that u had some thing planned?" Dasa glares and Atina gives a benevolent look at Roja – Roja is watching Giri screaming and sings " Minukku minukku natchathiram, aacharyam enakku nee yar nnu"!!!!!!
