Part 9
Karthik gets a burger and some noodles and sits beside Raji who was
sincerely eating from her lunch box without looking around. Karthik
smiles and starts eating. A few minutes later...
Raji: Karthik...
Karthik looks at her and asks "enna?"
Raji: Thank you...
Karthik: edhukku?
Raji: nethu neenga avvalo dhooram pesalai nnaa naan innaikku inga

Raji: naanaa? kavalai padarenaa?
Karthik: ippo nee pesinadhukku enna artham?
Raji: just thinking aloud...
Karthik: adhu sari...
Raji keeps quiet and continues to eat. Karthik finishes his lunch and
asks Raji...
Karthik: Raji... fresh juice edhuvum venumaa?
Raji: venaa...
Karthik: OK...
Karthik goes to the counter and gets his coffee. In the meantime Raji
finishes her lunch.
Raji is seriously lost in her thoughts... Karthik finishes his coffee and
calls her but she doesn't respond... He calls her again...
Karthik: Rajiii...
Raji: mmm...
Karthik: enna yosanai?
Raji: onnum illai... vaanga polaam...

Raji: Thank you...
Karthik: polaamaa?
Raji: OK...
Both of them leave cafetaria and come to the training room.
The afternoon session is conducted by someone else. The session lasts for four hours. The auditor gives them a clear picture and procedure of internal, external and statutory audit. After a 10 minute break, the session goes on for one more hour and then the auditor winds up for the evening... Everyone disburses... Karthik and Raji come out of the office building and walk towards the main road.
Karthik: enna yosanai?
Raji: Statutory audit la...
Karthik: stop...
Raji: ennaachu?

Karthik takes his mobile and dials Raji's number. Her mobile rings and
he cuts the call.
Karthik: ennoda number save pannikko... unakku eppo enna doubt

Raji:(smiles) OK...
Karthik: happy?
Raji: mmm...
Karthik: ippo free yaa vidu... relaxed aah veettukko po... OK... bye...
Raji: Thank you... bye...
Karthik takes an auto and goes home. Raji walks to the bus stop, boards a bus and reaches home in one and half hours. She plays with Krish for somtime, helps with his maths homework and when her
chitappa comes, she tells him what Mr.Gupta said about her. He feels
happy and asks her to utilise the fine opportunity she has got. Then she helps her chithi in preparing dinner and finishes her dinner.
Raji comes to her room, takes a notebook, starts recollecting the
training session and notes down pointwise. After two hours, she
completes the entire task as per Karthik's instructions. In between she gets struck and thinks of calling Karthik. But then she drops the idea thinking..."edho help panren nu sonnaru.. udane phone pannaa.
sariyaana torture nu nenachittaa... venaaa... kaalaile kettukkalaam..."
She then takes a look at what she wrote and then goes to bed.
Karthik on the way packs his dinner and comes home. He takes a
shower, finishes his dinner and sits to study. Around 10 p.m. he calls
his parents and talks to them. He then continues to study and then
before going to bed wonders whether Raji would have followed what he said or not. He thinks anyway he can find it in the morning and sleeps off.
Next day, Sharp at 8 a.m. Karthik enters the training room and finds
Raji waiting for him. He smiles and comes to her.
Raji: Good morning...
Karthik: Very Good morning... romba neram aachaa vandhu?
Raji: mm...hmm... just five minutes...
Karthik: OK...
Raji gives him the note she wrote the day before. Karthik reads it
completely and then they start discussing. He clears all her doubts and by that time others start coming in. Sharp at 9 a.m the session begins for day two... The person seemed to be an expert in tax planning and he explains the tough subject in a very simple, appealling and beautiful manner. Four hours later they have a lunch break.
Raji is having lunch from her lunch box and Karthik comes there with his lunch. Both of them discuss about the class and ...
Karthik: Raji... vera edhuvum discuss pannanumaa?
Raji: ippodhaikku ellaa doubt um clear ...
Karthik: sari... naan antha table la irukken... lunch mudinjadhum onnaa polaam...

Karthik: cha... cha... appadi ellaam onnum illai...

Karthik gets up with his lunch tray. Raji stops him.

Raji: mmm... sari...
Both of them come to the training room. Next session of Tax Planning
and Assessment goes till evening. As usual Karthik and Raji decide to
work in the same way and come early in the morning to office.
In the night Raji works out the assignment given in the session and
writes down all her doubts... But then she remembers it has to be
submitted next day, she thinks of calling KArthik and looks at the time
and drops the idea. She tries to solve herself but couldn't. She thinks of asking her chitappa and goes to his room only to find him fast asleep.
Raji comes back to her room and after a lot of struggle to call or not, she finally decides and dials Karthik's number...
Part 10... coming soon...
