"DSP Sathya , You've done a fairly amazing job...

Intha maathiri mobs ellam control panrathu romba kashtam" The Director General of Police smiled from the other end of the call, Sathya's lips held a peaceful smile as he patted his heart,

"Couldn't have some it without my team, Sir" He mumbled having some water and the Director General chuckled,

"Sari.. Romba late aaiduchu.. Nallaiku kalila idha pathi peslam" And the Director General ended the call.

Sathya sighed as he drived through the lonely lanes of chennai, on his way to his apartment. His eyes shrunk witnessing a figure standing by the end of the lane, he slowed down, adjusting his vision through the street lights to see who it was,

"Dhamodharan sir? Neenga intha nerathula? Edhum problem ah? " Sathya blinked, his eyes surveying the elder one to assure that he was alright,

"Sathya.. Onnu illa pa.. Vandi konjam prachana pannuthu.. Atha wait panren" He patted Sathya's cheeks assuring him,

"Sari neenga vaanga.. Na veetla vidren.. Car service panthum eduthukalam" He told him, eyeing the driver with a polite smile.

"Velaya poitrupa.. Na wait panren.. Ne ketathe enaku sandhosham dha pa" Dhamodharan replied with a smile making Sathya nod negatively as he held his hand,

"Athepdi ungla thaniya vitu na porathu... Nanu veetuku dha poitruken..

"Romba velaya? " Sathya offered him some water to drink before asking for his address,

"Doctor kooda illama kashtama iruka? " Sathya smiled thinking of his   Baby bunny,

However it didn't go unnoticed!

"Ahm.. Aana.. Enkooda irunthathu vida unga kooda..

Unga ellarum koodavum ava happy ah iruka" Dhamodharan chuckled saying it,

"Athu.. Erm..

Doctor romba nallavanga sir..
Erm..
Ipdi oruthar kooda irukurathu engluku dha balam" He told him and Dhamodharan nodded seriously,

" Na first year medicine la epdi paatheno.. Apdiye ava iruka innu..

Athe kurumbu.. Athe passion..

Athe selflessness.. " Sathya's eyes fell on Dhamodharan's lone tear as he cleared his throat.

There seemed to be a thousand unsaid stories of tears hidden behind that guileless smile,

There seemed to be a gallon of bitter memories behind his Doctor's selflessness, one that he has had the privilege of seeing at times.

There seemed to be aeons to go, for him to know all about it, but he convinced himself that there'll soon be a way,

That he'll soon make love to all her scars and turn them into pretty butterflies,

"Doctor.. Neraya adi patrukaanga" Sathya paused, looking for ways to put it,
