Ellarum Mela paarunga... 💭

Flashback📸

I woke up as usually at 7, got ready  for my work and came down.

Eppovume enna thitra enga amma, innaiku paal thirudi maatikitta Poona maari mulichitu irundhaanga.

Naan tiffen ah vaila vekkala, odane start pannitaanga.

"Priya, innaiku unna ponnu paaka varaanga... So take a day off today."

Apdinu enga amma solla, Dang! Dang! Dang! nu en pinnadi serial BGM oda... Ayyo... Apdi irundhudhu.

Idhuve Periya shock, idhuku Mela enakku innoru shock. Enna theriyuma?

Bombay la irundha en friend uh, Deepika veetuku vandha. Adhuvum edhuku? Edho oru paiyan enna paaka varadhu naala.😒

Back to the present🎬

Romba chinna flashback la😅... Paravala vaanga. As I said, naan silent ah ukkara, Deepika en face la ennamo pannitu irundha.

Ellam pannitu oru saree kondu vandhu neetu na. Avlo neram dull ah irundha en face brightened up seeing the saree.

I love sarees so much you know?😅 And that too this one was a lavender paster colour khadi cotton saree.

Semmaiya irukula? That's why I love sarees. 💗

Yaaru vandha namakku enna? Namma la namma groom panna enna thappu?.

So I got ready and  opened Hotstar sitting in my bed. Enna? What else am I supposed to do? Amma said that the boy's family will come at 5 and it's only 2 right now.

I can't sit there all nervous for an unknown boy you know? And obviously naan NO dhaan solla poren. So why worry?

Naan romba neram search pannitu, finally I chose my fav film. Oh Kadhal Kanmani❤️. Enna movie la? Enakku indha  padathula ovvoru dialogue um athu padi.😌

After two and half hours, after I finished watching the movie, I was lying in bed listening to Malargal Kaeten for the nth time. Enna Song la? Adhuvum indha lyrics...

Malargal kaetten vanamae thanthanai🌸
Thanneer kaetten amirtham thanthanai⚡
Malargal kaetten vanamae thanthanai🌸
Thanneer kaetten amirtham thanthanai⚡

Ethai naan ketppin...aaaaa.....
Ethai naan ketppin unnaiyae tharuvaai💫
Ethai naan ketppin.... unnaiyae tharuvaai💫

I love these lyrics. Ennama feel panni eludhi irukaanya goyya!!

But enna verupu ethura maari, oru horn sound goii🎺 nu ketuchu...

Vadhutaanya... Vandhutaanya... 🤯
Andha paiyan vandhutaan. Konja neram kalichu, I went down as Shanthi ma called me.

I looked at everyone before giving them coffee. Naan apdiye shock ayiten.😳

Anga Lakshmi ma, Aditi Akka and Arunachalam uncle irundhaanga... Appo maapla?

I bent down a bit to see the face of the maapla who was busy seeing his phone. Ambuttudhaan!! I was shocked to the core!!

It's Vikram!!! My school classmate!! Ivan Inga epdi? Namba nu therinju vandhu irupana? Chi chi... Illa... Suppose therinju irundha?

"Pei aranja maari angaye endi nikura? Vandhu coffee kudu" Shanti ma said stopping the debate which was going on in my mind.

"Aunty unga Peru Lakshmi dhaana? Akka neenga Aditi dhaana? Neenga Arunachalam uncle and Nee Vikram. Correct ah?" I asked them after giving coffee.

"Aama ma... But, engala epdi unakku theriyum?" Lakshmi ma asked out of curiosity.

"Aunty, en classmate parents, enakku theriyadha? Ungalukku enna therila seri... Vikram, unakkum ah enna therla? Adhaana epdi theriyum? Pesi irundha dhaana?" I said looking at Vikram.

Paavam paiyan, innum naan yaaru nu theriyama mulichitu irukaan🤭 Epdi theriyum namba dhaan diet exercise panni olli aagitome?

Aama aama olliya🤭...

Vikram was seeing me in utter confusion. So I went to my room and came back with our school group photo and showed it to him.

"Mm.. Inga paaru, indha chubby cute girl irukkala... Yaarunu theriyudha? Namba dhaan. And, indhaa irukaa paaru idhu dhaan Deepu, Ippo Inga irukkaa paaru." I said pointing towards Deepu who is giving me a teasing smile. Adhu yen nu aprom ungaluke theriya varum.😏

"Seri, seri, ulla poi pesittu vaanga ingaiye ellaathayum pesitta epdi.?" Aditi akka said looking at us.

So, naan Vikram ah ulla kootitu poi  ukkara vechutu, maathi maathi paathutu irundhom.

"Nee epdi Inga?" We both asked at the same time making us laugh.

"Naan enga ponen? Nee dhaan Hyderabad poita." I replied first for the question.

"How do you know everything? Like... You know everyone from my family, naan enga ponen... How?" Vikram asked me totally amused at my answer.

"All details I know ma😌" I replied to him lifting my Kannu Ku theriyadha collar.

"Unakku therinju irukku, but enakku dhaan onnum theriyala?" Vikram replied.

"Friend aagalaam nu paathaa, enakku therinja maari Ellam theriyum. Sir dhaan enna kandukka kooda maateengale😏" I said smirking at him.

"Maa... You were my benchmate. Ofcourse, you were my friend!" Vikram said widening his already perusa irukkura eyes.

"Hello mister, pakkathula ukkaandha mattum podhaadhu. Pesi palagunaa dhaan friend uh."

"Seri seri, appo ok. Vaanga palagalaam." He said imitating Solomon Paapaiya from Sivaji.

"Seringa Naduvar ayya🤭"  I said earning a chuckle from him.
