A ninteen year old Shalini yelled. "Naa kathala aana nethu edho race paakanum nu sonna... Ippove mani pathu aaiduchu?" Her mom questioned and Shalini panicked getting up with a jolt. "Hayayo!!" She exclaimed and cursed under her breath running to the washroom to take a quick shower.
And like always dressing up in her tracks. Her mom let out a dissaproving sigh. "Pombala pula venum nu Kovil Kovil ah suthnen, aana Kadavul ennaku rendume pasangala kuduthrkan paaru!!" She exclaimed and Shalini twisted her lips at her.
"Seri appo naan poitu vandhuren." She told when her mom stopped her. "Mahesh sir veetla poi, appa kitta indha file ah kuduthuren? Avaru odane venumnu kettaru." She told and Shalini sighed. "Enna Vela vangulena ungluku thookam varadhe!!" She exclaimed and walked out making her mother pray for her future husband, 'idhala vechikitu epdi dhan meka porano!!'

"Sushmita, Avinash ku ippo 24 vayasu dhan aagudhu, muzhusa college kuda mudikala, yedhuku ivalo avasara padura?" Mahesh questioned. "Illanga Avan Anga edho oru ponnu kooda--" Sushmita began but shut down to Mahesh's glare.

He exclaimed causing her to sigh mentally while she managed to smile it off outside.
They were soon disturbed by a door knock. "Come in." Mahesh told and Shalini opened the door. "Hello uncle!!!" She chirped. "Vaa ma kutty pattas!!" Mahesh cooed. "Enna vishayam?" He asked. "Uncle appa edho file kettaru, adha eduthutu vara dhan vandhen. Appa va engayum kannala adhu dhan ungla paathu kuduthutu poirlam nu." She told. Seeing Shalini and her dressing, Sushmita sighed. She just walked out swiftly making Shalini sigh. 'ivangluku en mela apdi enna dhan gaandu oh?!' she thought and chucked the thought away. "Seringa uncle, naa kelambren!" She chirped. "Shalini saputu po ma." Mahesh told.

"Neenga ipdi solringa, aana unga friend Mahadevan, (imitates her dad), 'Bike ah thotta, konnuduven!' (comes back to normal).. apdinu la solraru?" She told and sighed dramatically. Mahesh chuckled, "Adhukaga nee bike ah thodamlaya irruka?" He questioned and she smiled sheepishly. "Indha vishayam Namma military ku mattum teriyama paathukonga uncle... okay?" She questioned and Mahesh nodded chuckling.

"Oru chinna vela da." She sighed. "Seri saptingla?" He questioned. "Illa da odi poi oru mango juice mattum vangitu variya?" She questioned. "Seri neenga ulla ponga, naa vangitu varen." He told and walked out while she walked in. She was so glad that she could get VIP seats. She was extremely excited as the race began.
She began hooting and cheering for the racers as the race began. A racer committed a minor mistake and she sighed, "Shei ivanuku Ellam Evan race otta chance kuduthan!! Nannari paiya..." She yelled and a guy beside her turned to look at her. "Nanna--" he began in shock but composed himself. "Yen ma, chinna mistake dhana?" Another guy asked. "But indha level of racing la adhellam panna kudadhu la na?" She questioned and the guy and her began quarelling for a long while. "Shut it!!" A deep strong voice from beside her yelled.
"Racing ngradhu oru art!! Adha silent ah irrundhu rasikanum, ipdi vala vala nu pesama rendu perum olunga focus pannunga!!" He continued. 'Romba strict aana officer ah irruparo?' she thought. She then silently watched the rest of the race when suddenly Shakti walked upto her, "Thalaivi indha area la irrukura Ella juice shop layum Kettu paathuten, apple juice irruku ngra, orange juice irruku ngra, mosambi juice irruku ngra yen? Sugarcane juice eh irruku ngra, aana indha mango juice mattum illa nu solranga." He told and passed her two ripe mangoes. "Adhan mango va ipdi vangitu vandhten." He told proudly. "Idha ipdi kudutha? Naa inga okkandhu arachita irruka mudiyum?" She asked back.
"Seriyana imsai!!" The deep voiced guy voiced out. "Hey!! Yaara paathu imsai ngra?!!" She questioned. "Unna paathu dhan di!" He exclaimed. "Thimuru pudichavan, enna paathu enna solran paaru da!!" Shalini exclaimed. "Ivanuku periya racing expert nu nenapu manasula, vandhadhula irrundhu enna vambu izhuthute irrukan!!" "Nalla deep aahna voice la pesi, dhadi vechu, cooling glass ellam pottu bayamuruthara maari irrundha bayandhuruvangla? Rowdy naanu teriyuma?" She asked. "Thalivi avaru--" he began when Shalini cut him off, "Summa irruda!!"
"Seriyana imsa pudichava!!" He commented. "Seriyana thimuru pudichavan!!" She commented for her part and he sighed and walked away. "Shakti unnaku indha maari friends Ellam irrupanga nu naa edhirpakla!" He told finnally and left.
"Unnaku avara teriyuma?" Shalini asked. "Teriyum ah va? Avaru dhan racing expert and senior racer AD, enna groom panradhum avaru dhan!!" He exclaimed and Shalini gasped. "You mean Abhimanyu Durairaj?!" Shalini exclaimed gasping. "Yes di." He added. "Appo nee yenna naduvula niruthirklam la da?" She exclaimed. "Neenga nirutha vitta dhana?" he questioned and she pouted.
"Pochu pochu Ellam pochu.... Naa avaroda training centre la dhan join panlam nu irrundhen!! Ini Ellam pochu!!" She exclaimed pouting. "Thalaivi calm down, avaru voice dhan bayamuruthara maari irrukum, but avaru ulla romba sweet aahna person, sorry ketta othukvaru!!' he told. "Namma innaiku evening eh porom!! Kaala vizhrom, aprom register panrom!" He exclaimed and Shalini nodded.
