KV in restaurant...

Vishnu side hugged Karthik in Santhanam's style...His mouth was blabbering due to the effect of the alcohol he had consumed...
"Machi.. Raji unnai sandhega pattaangalaa..yennala nambave mudiyalada..." Vishnu asked in amazement...
"Dai..ava sandhegamaa kooda kekalai..naan thappaanavannu mudive pannitaadaa..."
" Ava yendaa yennai thappaa nenaichaa..." Karthik asked in anguish...
"Sari vidu machaan...feel pannadha.." Vishnu tried to calm him down...
"Vida mudiyalaiye adhaane yennoda problem...ava yeppadi daa yennai thappaa nenaikalaam...?"
"Machi...Raji ya solli yum thappu illai..yaaraa irundhaalum andha yedathula sandhega pada dhaan seivaanga...yen andha idahula naane irundhaa kooda..."Vishnu said tried to convince him..
"Dai.. niruthu...nee yenakku friend aa illai avalukku friend aa?yennai vittutu avalukku support panra...?"Karthik was getting mad...
"illai daa..chumma oru pechukku..." Vishnu tried to explain...
"Pechukku kooda avala justify panni pesaadha...cha..avala naan yevlo uyarathula vachirundhen..."
"Yevlo uyaram machi..." Vishnu asked innocently...
karthik glared at him.. "Un kitta poi sonnen paaru..yennai ...idhukku dhaan unakku sarakku vaangi kuduthenaadaa...ozhunga kudichadha vomit panraa.."
"Sari sari vidudaa...ippa unnoda problem yenna adhai sollu...?" Vishnu tried to divert the topic...
"Ava yendaa yennai thappaa nenaichaa...?"
"Marubadiyum modhalla irundhaa..."Vishnu was like pulling his hair...
"Dai..karthi,nee sarakka yedhum smell panni paarkalaiye...?Vishnu asked in doubtfully..
"Dai Vishnu,naan drinks ah touch panni paarthirikiyaadaa...uyir nanban nee ye yenna namba maatengura...nethu vandhava ava yenga namba poraa..naan varendaa..."he tried to move..
Vishnu stopped him by pulling his hand.. "sari daa irudaa..kovichikaadha.. naan unnai nambaren... unnoda pechu oru maargamaa irundhadhaala oru mild doubtuuu avlo dhan...aamaa daa Raji pannadhu romba thappu..inimel avanga moonjilaiye muzhikkadha podhumaa..?"
"Yennadaa pesura...friend oda love la yedhaavdhu problem naa serthu vaikka idea tharaama pirichi vaikka idea tharra...neeyellaam unmaiyaana nanbanaadaa.."
Vishnu's alcohol effects was totally drained he felt like he was caught amidst of a twister..
"Support pannaalum thitturaan..support pannaattiyum thitturaan...ippadi vandhu sikkitaene...sari samaalipom..."
"kavala padadha machi..yen uyir ah kuduthaavadhu naan un love ah serthu vaikaren.." Vishnu said with pride..
"Yenna mabbu over aagiduchaa...?avalukku yenna ulaga azhagi nu nenaipaa,.ivala vittaa yenakku vera ponne kedaikka maataangalaa?dai naan Mumbai la irundhapa..yethnai ponnunga yenakku propose pannaanga theriyumaa?

"Correct machi...unakku yenna ponnu kedaikkadhunnu nenaichitaangalaa...naalaike yerakarom..Mumbai la irundhu color color aa models ah yerakarom yenna solra?"
"Dai loosu.." Karthik taunted him...
"loosaaa..." Vishnu shocked in his mind voice...
"Naan yenna AD shoot aahh... panna poren.. models ah yerakarennu solra...
Naan kudumba kuthu vilakethara ponna pathi pesinaa..nee yennamo kuthu pattukku all pudikara maadhiri pesura...neeyellaam..." before karthik finished the sentence Vishnu interrupted and asked...
"Oru friend uuu adhaane..."
"Inimel osila sarakku vaangi tharennu yevanaavadhu sonnaa..naakka thonga pottukittu poviyaa..poviyaa..."Vishnu slapped himself...
"Un sangathame vendaam daa saami...sarakadikaamale ippadi paduthariye..nee mattum sarakku adichaa..avlo dhaan indha ulagame azhinjidum..Podaaa..." Vishnu walked off from there in anger...
"Dai Vishnu pogaadha..iru.. daa..." Karthik had run behind him...
RL in coffee day...
They sipped the cappuccino in silence...
"Hey Raji ..unakku konjamaavadhu arivu irukaa...?"Lakshmi asked tauntingly...
Raji looked at her blankly..
"Yaara sandhega paduradhunnu oru vivasthai illai...?Karthik ah poi yeppadi dee nee sandhega padalaam...oruthar mugatha paarthaale theriyaadhaa..nallavangalaa..kettavangalaa nu.."
"Adheppadi mugathula theriyum...avanga activities la dhaan theriyum..naan dhaan kannaala paarthenae..."Raji tried to defend her side..
"Ongi onnu vittaa theriyum..appo innamum nee avana nambala...avan avlo dhooram manasu veruthu koba pattadhai paarthum kooda nee avana sandhega paduriyaa?"Lakshmi asked in rage...
"Yenakku rumba kuzhappamaa irukku Lakshmi..."
"Hey loosu..kan illaadhavan kooda solluvaan Karthik unnai love panraannu...ivlo periya kannai vachikittu... Unakku adhu theriyalaiyaa..?"
"Poi..avan Angel ah dhaan love panraan.."She said adamantly..
Lakshmi shook her head in disbelief...
"Unnai vachikittu naan yenna dhaan panradhu..?"
Lakshmi was very much frustrated with the stubborn behavior of Raji..
"Appo ,avan nijamaave nallavan nu solriyaa Lakshmi.." Raji asked in low voice...
If look could kill..Raji would have dead by then with Lakshmi's fiery gaze..
"Hey..ivlo neram naan sonnadhu yedhuvum un maramandaila yeralaiyaa.."
"Appo naan paarthadhu...?" Raji nowhere to be leave that topic...
"Aaagggrrr...Raji..inga paaru..Angel avanoda college friend ..avalukku yedho problem nu avan aarudhal solli irukalaam..adhai yellaam perisaa yeduthukittu sandai pottutu irundhaa ..unnai vida muttaal indha ulagathulaiye yaarum irukka mudiyaadhu...chummaa izhupariya podaama..seekiramaa avana samaadhaana paduthara vazhiya paaru..."
Lakshmi advised her sensibly..
Raji's heart knew Karthik was innocent..and it would always had faith in him, trusted him with closed eyes..but her mind was the one which always seeks for logic and reasons which needed proof to believe ... at least to satisfy her bugging brain she has to clear her doubts...
Even though she knew the truth... when it was coming from Lakshmi it was more convincing to her mind..
She felt like a burden had removed from her heart..and felt very light as if floating in the air..
After the long days of despair and distress a genuine smile appeared on her face..
Netech solutions..
While Raji was entering to her cubicle..She had seen the small crowd gathered near their cubicle...
She got curious and approached them..They were none other than her team mates..Angel was standing amidst and others had encircled her ...
Seeing Raji Angel smiled at her...Raji smiled back reluctantly...
Angel was shaking hands with each and everyone...
When she neared Karthik and tried to shook her hands with him..karthik shoved her hand and engulfed her in a friendly bear hug...
Raji's eyes were literally came out their socket seeing that sight..
Karthik smirked at her seeing her plight...
Raji had understood he did that to irritate her..she looked at him with grumpy face..
Lakshmi also noticed her friend's crest fallen face..
"Raji..Angel velaiya vittu praalaam.."
"Yenna solra..Lakshmi..?Raji asked in shock..
"Yes..avalukku Bangalore la velai kedaichirukaam..innum rendu naala poraalam..."
Mean time Angel neared Raji...Raji looked at her in disbelief..
"Yenna Raji ivlo aacharaiyamaa paakura?"Angel smiled and hugged her unexpectedly..
Raji didn't know how to react...
"Sorry Raji...naan yedhaavdhu unnai disturb panni irundhaa I am really sorry.."
"Karthik ah naan one sided ah love panninen..but avan clear ah sollitaan avan life la yenakku idam illai nu...adhu mattum illai ..he loves u dearly..avan romba nalla paiyan avana kan kalangaama paarthuko..."Angel said with a naughty smile...
Shock would be an understatement for Raji's plight..
However she couldn't control her face beaming with delight by the revelation of Angel..
She instantly looked at Karthik..he was also looking at her with piercing gaze..
When she tried to smile at him..he averted his gaze after giving a furious look and then he never looked back at her..
Karthik was sitting alone in canteen..and thinking of the incident.. Raji's accusing words and his outburst..How well the day had started and how drastically it had ended..
Raji came and sat near him silently...He tried to move away...
"Karthik.."she called him hastily...
"Yenna...?" he asked curtly...
"Adhu vandhu..." she was hesitating...
"Yenna sorry solla poriyaa...?oruthana uyiroda konnuttu..nee solra sorry aala yenna aaga pogudhu...just get out of my sight.."he blasted on her..
She looked at him all amused...
"Hello...ippa yaaru sorry kekka poraa? Naan yedhukku sorry kekanum..." she asked boldly..
Now it's Karthik's turn to be got amused...
"Yenna paarkura..?yenna dhaan andha Angel unnoda friend ah irundhaalum..nee ava kitta I love u sonnadhu thappu...adhai nee justfy panna ve mudiyaadhu..naan adhai othukkave maaten..."she said with finality...
He couldn't resist himself from admiring her guts.. even though she had lost the battle very badly..
"Ivalukku irukara ego irukkae...grrr.."he gritted his teeth in anger..
"Oh ippadi solli escape aagalaam nu paarkiriyaa?iru unakku vaikiren check..." he grudged in mind..
"Ok Raji pls clear one thing for me...naan Angel kitta I love u sonnaa unakku yen kobam varudhu...what's ur damn problem in that? Why r u getting so hyper..."
Raji was shell shocked she never expected that he would raise this kind of question...
She was dumbstruck and gapped at him blankly...
"Yenna sathathaiye kaanom...?badhil sollu Raji...yenna dhideer mouna viradham...?" he asked mockingly raising his one brow...
She bit her teeth in rage..she was fuming inside as he had cornered her so cleverly...
"Adhu vandhu...adhu vandhu.." she was stuttering...
"Adhu innumaa varalai..."he laughed out loud at his plight..
"Sari naan kelvi ya maathi kekuren...appavaavadhu answer solla mudiyudhaanu paaru...naan yaen Angel kitta love u solla koodaadhunu nenaicha?"
"Yaennaa..."she started by impulse but doesn't know how to continue further so she just glared at him as she was unable to answer...
"Come on Raji.. speak up..vaai kizhiya pesuva..ippa yenna vaayila kolukattaiyaa irukku...?" he was at his peak in teasing her..
"Adhellaam onnum illai..nee yaar kitta venaa pesikko..katti pudichiko..yenna venaalum panniko..yenakku onnum problem kedaiyaadhu...podhumaa..."she was at the verge of exploding..
"Oh appadiyaa..sari ok...naan ippove Angel ku phone panni I love u solren..."he said playfully..
"Vendaam karthik velaiyaadaadha.." she said sternly..
"Unakku dhaan naan yenna pannaalum problem illainu sollitiye appuram yenna...?"
He dialed the number in his phone...and when he was about to put the mobile on his ear..she snatched the phone from him and threw away in anger...and shooting daggers at him...
The phone hits the floor hard and the parts had shattered away...
"Dai..yennadaa idhu..breakfast ku sandai poda aarambicheenga...lunch time aagiyum neenga innum unga sandaiya mudikalaiyaa...? Vishnu asked in shock..he had just entered the canteen and witnessed the phone breaking game on his way...he had collected the shattered pieces of the mobile...
Though Raji did throw the mobile impulsively she was regretting her deed and even dreading to his reaction... fortunately Vishnu came there..
Raji thanked Vishnu inwardly as he had saved her from the crouching tiger besides her..
"Vishnu,naan onnum sandai podalai unga friend dhaan sandai poduraaru...avara kelunga..naan varen..."
She looked at him for an instance and twisted her lips childishly and went from there quickly before he pounce at her..
Karthik looked at her retreating back and then at the broken mobile and whispered under his breath... "She is impossible..."
