COIMBATORE AIRPORT:

It was early morning around 4_5 am ,when the sun himself had not yet awakened from his sleep !!!

The sky was still painted greyblue with few stars still seen
sparkling !!!

The Chennai to Coimbatore airlines had just landed.

Amidst the passengers who got down from their respective flights, he paced down in his usual swift firm steps , strolling along high, well groom and
dangerously handsome from the rest of the crowd.

A pitch black tee to go with ink blue jeans, that clung onto the perfectly toned abbs with the cool green coolers that dangled from his tee exposing his hairy mane more
attractively .
He strode past the clumsy crowd with
a devilish  inward curved smile ;  carrying a brief case.
He pressed in the airpod more into ears and spoke ...to his driver at the other end .

.....: Ramesh ?

Ramesh : Sir vanakamnga. Car ready ah erukung !

.....: Is it ? Apo neenga ready ah ellaiya ?
Ramesh : Aiyo ...aiyoo ..Apdilaang ellaing sir.

Hmmmm..

He let a sigh,cursed his fate and mouth and drove that Audi, from opposite Aravind Eye hospital, taking
the longest U turn of the big city, in that early morning... steering ,towards the airport.

HYDERABAD:

Ramoji film city:

They both were walking causually, hand in hand,
adorned in matching apparaels.
She was wearing a red pink dress that clung uptill her knees, her slender ivory shins shining beyond it .
Loose hair, minimalistic make over, a simple of diamond
drops anda thin rose gold chain were her accessories
He complemented her equally in a checked red causals and grey trousers.

They looked obviously a smitten couple.

Often glancing at each other, unnecessarily smiling at one
another, munching the large cartons of cheesed popcorns, playing in the dashing cars like kids.

Stopping by the side of the huge posters and imitations of the Awengers ... clicking poses alongside them grinning wide .

Having drenched in the rain dance for sometime, they visited the
most famous Bahubali set.

Imprisoning herself within the artificial cell of Devasena..she looked up to him.

He said ,

He : Devasena va thooki saaptruva pola.

She : What ?Awlo aged ah theriyuren ?

He : ha.Ha...ha.. sory dear. I should have mentioned
Devasena in Bahubali 2.

She : Nalla sammaali da !

He : I's true dear. You look so lovely.

She :  Really ?

He : Ofcourse. I can admire you all day along...even for all my years to come.

.She : Dramatic !!! Nalla pesura da !!

He : No dear. Believe me. /'ll cherish you till my last !!

She : Shoo...ithu enna pechu da.Loosu. !!

He :What else dear ?

She : Hei, yethachum achaniyama solliratha da. Ennaiya
vera Devasena nu solra !!Bayama eruku !

He :  Why ? what makes you say so . 

She : Ama, naan Devasena na ,nee Bahubali thana ?

He :  Wow...wow ... What a comparison !! Bahubali itha ketta suicide pannipaar. Butjokes apart, tell me ... what's
your fear ?

She : Pinna ?Anthe film la apdi thana varum ? He gets
killed, halfway through.
Athan..

He : Oh common dear.
Athuku namaku oru ,  "Balvaaldevan ",thevaipadumae.
And unfortunately there is no one as such .
And again' en mamavum rombavae nallavar. He himself has sent me
along with you !!!
So Namma story la there is noBalvaaldevan.
No villain.
So no one else can end me !

She : Ilove you

He : Me too.

They smiled out again heartily.

He said..

Ours is a nonvillianous love story !

And then..his smiling face seemed to fade away ,

Slowly..

The ambience was painted green yellow and everything
else seemingly dissapeared...,

When ..
.
She got up with a thud !!

It was a dream ?

Nope.
It wasn't a dream.
It was a recollection of good old times spent with him .
Sweating profusely and panting frantically she sat up
straight on her bed trembling with fear and self pity.

Tears flowed..

She uttered softly . Karthi !
Karthiban !

Enga da tholanchu poona?

Unaku enna than da aachu !!

Nammakulla villainae ellanu sonniyae?

Ipo..ipo ?

Who is he ?

Thideernu enga erunthu vanthan !!

Why ?

How cruel of him !!

Epadi ipdilaam pesa mudiyuthu?

"llama ponnavana pathi yethuku pesura !!"

How much cruel of him to say so ?

Enoda cousin nu solraan !!!

Anga vantha unmai theriyumamae !!

Aanalum nee kedaika maatanu evlo thimira sonnan?

Nope !!!

Awlo easy ya laam vida mudiyaathu !!

En kadhala avlo easy ah ennala vitra mudiyaathu !

Naa anga poyyaae theeruven !

Then I'll surely get you.

Having decided so, she looked up the time.
It was early morning around 6 am.

She very well knew it would be very tough to convince her
overprotective father to go so far to Tamilnadu.

But anyways she wanted to know!

Wanted to know what was all this about !!!

And especially ...

Him !!!

Kathir !!

COIMBATORE AIRPORT:

It was almost 5:30 am when he managed to get in his car
and drive up till the highways connnecting Awinashi and
Coimbatore.

As he drove ...his mobile rang..

He switched on the speaker.

He :.Sollung!!

................,

He : Ithu ennada vamba pochu. Namma oorkaran ipdi
pesalana thana aacharyam.

................,

He : Ha..ha..Namma Tamil ah special thanung !!

He : Villangam illatha vishyam erukuma? Athelaam naa
paarthukuven.
Actually, Chennai la erunthu kelambum bothae oru copy

He : Don't worry.!
He turned around to see his brief case.
With a smile he said to the person at the other end ,

.............,

He : Namma oorla solra maathri ...Orae kallula rendu
maanga !!
Kavalaya vidunga !!

................,

He : Highways la eruken .Awinashi vanthutu, apurampogava,ella straight ah RS Puram poidava ?
Anna kitta ketu sollunga.
This traffic is iritating.
Ill be onhold for 5 minutes.

He drove as well waiting for the answer.

It was still dark outside.

His recent project and it's sucess sprang into mind

Well..

He had done it.

Every thing had gone smoothly !!

Really ?

Everything smooth?

He was left in an unsatisfactory state since he sighed in this project.

Something...was hindering him.

What was it ?

Something !

Something !

Gosh !

Suddenly a blunder he had committed sprang up.

He : Cha ..
He fist in frustrations..
Atha poi epadi maranthen !!!
But now ...
What can he do ..s there any way out ?

Before he could think more ..

The huge speeding poorly conditioned cargo lorry ,barged in his way suddenly on the highways....thrashing his car and toppling it a number of times and then to finally
settle upside down.

He fell unconscious bathed in a pool of blood !!!
