Oru velai Priya, thannoda letter ah paarthu ethuna extreme ah react panna, mathavanga munnadi maanam pogama paarthukalamae…!!! Ellam oru disaster control measure thaan….
Priya seemed to be busy with something… ava friend Rohini was near her.. Priya va suthi gift wrapper, balloons, greeting card cover, sketch pens lam irunthathu…. She seemed to be writing something in that card….Sri wondered… naan than ivalukku propose panrathukku greeting card oda varen… intha ponnu card ah vachittu enna pannuthu…….. oru velai ivalum Valentines day kaga propose panna poraalo… ninaikkumbothe Sri manasu jollunu…sorry… jillunu :D aayiduchu, because, when he suspected she is writing a Val’s day card, he assumed, she is writing to her… Eppavume namakku heart thane takes precedence over mind… but soon sanity prevailed and his mind started thinking practically…. “oops…appadi na appadi na…. she is going to propose to some one…avalum love panraala…. Yaarai yaarai…” questions swarmed his mind… avanukku help panrathukkagavo ennavo, Rohini ithe kelviya Priya kitta ketta

As if to add to the suspense, Priya paused for a few seconds and then said with a shy smile
Priya: namma Project Leader Ramakrishnan alias Ramki
[Bang……there it is…. The worst Sri feared has just come out of Priya’s mouth…. As a shocked Sri listened, the convo went on between Priya and Swapna]
Rohini : heyyyy…nijammava……… sollave illiyae
Priya: ithellam poi solitu iruppangala…. Sari sari… help me with wrapping these gift into this oki… I want to surprise Ramki when he arrives in office tomorrow (blushes)

Yaarai yaarai…” questions swarmed his mind… avanukku help panrathukkagavo ennavo, Rohini ithe kelviya Priya kitta ketta

As if to add to the suspense, Priya paused for a few seconds and then said with a shy smile
Priya: namma Project Leader Ramakrishnan alias Ramki
[Bang……there it is…. The worst Sri feared has just come out of Priya’s mouth…. As a shocked Sri listened, the convo went on between Priya and Swapna]
