CHAPTER 20
AT KARTHIK'S HOME (BANGALORE):
Karthik's parents are very happy to see him. They welcome him and Vishnu with more anxiety. Since they have met after a long time, they keep chatting till late in the night.
NEXT DAY:
After lunch, Karthik and Vishnu go and hang out, do some shopping and all and have fun together. At a shopping mall, they meet their college friend Chandru who says that he is working in Bangalore. He insists that Vishnu should stay with him as long as he is there in Bangalore. Vishnu tries to convince him that he would visit him next time, but Chandru doesn't listen. All the three hang out and return to karthik's home in the night. After dinner Vishnu leaves with Chandru saying Karthik that he'll meet him directly at the airport on Tuesday evening.
Before going to bed, Karthik tries Raji's phone, she doesn't answer. He then notices that she had messaged him "Good Night" an hour ago. He thinks of calling her the next day and goes to sleep.
SATURDAY:
In the afternoon:
Karthik's mother comes to him and says..."kannaa... appo oda branch manager ku innaikku retirement function. Ellaaraiyum family oda vara solli irukkaanga. Evening 4 ku bank le irukkanum, neeyum variyaa?"
Karthik: illai maa... Neenga poyittu vaanga.
Mom: appo ... naan appa vukku phone panni naan varalai nnu sollidaren.
Karthik: en maa? Ellaarum family oda varuvaanga. Appa mattum thaniyaa irundhaa nallaa irukkaathumma...
Mom: veetle nee thaniyaa iruppiye...
Karthik: maaa... naan enna chinna kozhandhaiyaa... Neenga poyittu vandhidunga ... Night naama dinner ku velile polaam.
Mom: sari daa...
She gets ready and leaves for the function.
Karthik calls Raji...
AT RAJI'S HOME:
Raji's father is sleeping on his bed and Raji is reading some magazine sitting in a chair beside the cot. He wakes up and asks for water. She goes to the kitchen to bring water. Her phone rings...
He stretches his hand and tries to take the phone ringing on the table beside his cot, but it slides, he tries again but could only touch it and the answer key gets pressed.
Karthik was about to say "hello", but stops hearing Raji saying "appaa naan varathukulla enna avasaram... enna panreenga?"
He realizes that she is with her father and thinks to cut the call... but as he was so desparate to hear her voice he continues to hear their conversation...
Raji: naan thanni konduvarathukulla enna avasaram? Table le enna thedareenga?
Appa: un phone adichuthu Raji maa... athaan edukkalaam nu parthen. Yaaru nnu paarumaa...

He keeps quiet.
Raji: appaa... neenga kova pada maatten na ... naan unga kitta oru vishayam sollanum...
Appa: sollu daa... appa kitta solla ethukku thayangare?
Raji: enakku ... adhu vanthu...

Appa: enna Raji maa?

Appa: sari daa... naan konja neram thoongaren...
Raji: neenga edhaiyum kozhaippikkaatheenga paa ... ellaam nalla badiyaa nadakkum... neenga thoongunga.
He closes his eyes. Her mother comes in.
Amma: enna paappa idhellaam?
Raji: enna?
Amma: appa vukku pidikkalai nna?
Raji: ammmaaa... Raji maa kku pidichadhu edhu innai varaikkum appavukku pidikkaama poyirukku?
Amma: adhu sari... nee poyi konja neram Aachi kitta pesittiru ... naan appa kitte irukken.
She takes her phone and goes out. Her father opens his eyes, looks at his wife and smiles.
Karthik cuts the call and thinks..."en raasathi...ennamaa pesure neee!!!"
He recollects Raji's conversation with her father and thinks he should not have heard it..." Pesaame phone cut panni irundha nimmadhiyaa irundhirukkalaam... ippo meesai nammala parthu enna react pannu vaar nu theriyaliye... irukkura tension pathaadhu nnu ...unakku thevaiyaa daa karthi idhu ippo?" he questions himself.
