"Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder" She smiled making him sigh wistfully,
"Doctor madam apapo poet ah maararanga.. " Tongue in cheek, he whispered making her chortle like a child,
"Sari atha vidunga! Vera edachu pesunga! " She asked him leaning on her window, her hands supporting her chin,
"Athu.. Ipdi keta na enna soldrathu? " His eyebrows raised in surprise when she casually told him that.
"Edachu kelunga! " She probed further in an attempt to start a conversation,
"Hmm.. Sari ungaluku ennala pudikum sollunga" He finally came up with the standard conversation starter ever known to mankind,
"Enaku..
En vela romba pidikum..
Neram porathu theriyaama padichite iruka pudikum..
Saapda pudikum.. Thoonga pidikum..
Vera enna solla therilayae" She told him, still thinking of an impressive answer, but all she had was herself and he smiled hearing it,
"Neenga sollunga" She asked him this time,
"Enaka.. He streched his answer and heard her hum in optimism,
" Enaku nila romba pidikum.. Athu azhaga meghathula maranju velayadrathu romba pidikum..
Malaigal.. Athoda amaidhi..
Mazha.. Man vaasana..
Kashmir oda kulir pidikum..
Antha mala uchila ninnu paakarthu pidikum..
Ahn! Raksha Banthan apo naadu muzhuka engluku Rakhi anupuvaanga.. Yaarnae theriyaathavanga..
Antha postcard la anna nu oru vaartha padika romba pidikum..
Romba pesrena, Doctor? " He slowly asked her and she dismissed the idea,
"Neenga pesrathu keka romba nalla iruku.. Vera enna pidikum sollunga! " She asked him dreamily, seeing the world through his eyes felt so beautiful, as if the words he spoke came from the old literature that set standards today,
"Bore adikrenu ipdiyum sollama Duty Doctor? " He asked her and felt her silence,
"Doctor ennachu? " He slowly asked her,
"Onnu illa.. Chumma dha.. " She told him curtly trying not to be angry with him, but she couldn't take it anymore,
"Sorry kelunga DSP sir" She whispered taking him by complete surprise,
"Edhuku? " He asked her and was truly scared by her silence,
"Sorry Doctor" His voice turned low and cajoling, almost like a toddler who got caught doing mischief,
"Inime ungla boring nu sonningana pesavae maaten.. " She told him seriously, making him smile wholeheartedly,
"Saringa.. Kochikaathinga" He cooed again in order to make her laugh and it worked.
They began talking about his first mission and how he was scared to even hold a gun back then. She told him about her first sugery and the comical incident of her viva where she picked a biscuit instead of choosing a needle for the External to question,
"Doctor! Seriously you're so adorable! " He began laughing so loud that she blushed again,
"Yaarukitayum sollathinga DSP sir!" She whispered pleading for her well kept secret to remain that way,
