கதைப்போமா?
- Winmayil
மழையின் இரவில் ஒரு குடையினில் நடப்போமா;
மரத்தின் அடியில் மணிக்கணக்கினில் கதைப்போமா?
She
sets it as Whatsapp status. Immediately there is a first viewer. Curiously she
checks. Of course, to her happiness and disappointment of losing again, there
is his reply to her status “Check my status baby”.
ஒன்றாக நீயும் நானும்தான்
கதைப்போமா கதைப்போமா கதைப்போமா
நீ பேச பேச காயம் ஆறுமே
sings his status. She
couldn’t believe it. Everytime when she sets a status for him, he could sense
it through telepathy and exactly two or few minutes before he would have set a
song relevant to hers. Is it his LOVE for me? She even googles to check whether
there is any alarm to remind if anyone sets status.
Aanand. Santhoshi’s heart throb. His every
word is a music to her. When his eyes meet her, her heart skips a beat.
Thoughts about him always bring a smile on her lips. Both are colleagues. Their
friendship begins by checking and responding to each other’s status. Gradually
it turns into love, setting status privacy to only one of their contacts. Aanand
is too possessive. Santhoshi spending a minute with others without visiting him
in the free hours would even make him block her contact.
After chatting with Aanand till he sleeps,
Santhoshi reads a diary which she found yesterday from a bundle.
Avar
kita enaku bayam ellam illa. Aana muthal nallae itha kaeta thappa nenaiparonu
oru thayakam. ennoda thayakatha thuki potathu antha pugai. Naan “Ennanga…”
apdinu kupida vaaya thiranthaen, avar “Ithan ennoda kadaisi cigarette. Don’t
worry”. Enaku enna sollaenae therila. vayadachi poitaen…
Amma
veetuku poganum pola iruku. Aana viduvangala.
Intha
diarya avar padichitara? irukathu. Naanthaan slabla mariachi vachirukaene. apram
epdi athaita “Amma, office vishayama Maayavaram varaikum poganum. Nayagiya
avanga amma veetla vittutu varum pothu kutitu varaenu” thyryama paesitaru.
Kadavlae, avar enaku kidaicha arputham.
Next Morning
Aanand seems to be different. He neglects her. Santhoshi couldn’t be normal.
She decides to text him. But she was blocked in every social media. She sends a
mail pleading to unblock. She knows why she is punished by him. She slept late;
woke up late; didn’t call him or text him in the morning; Santhoshi doesn’t
know how to tackle him and handle his overwhelming love. She thinks for a
second that she too can block and leave him. Aanand’s love is as pure as the
happiness she gets whenever he is with her. He never misbehaves with her. Then
brushing away the thought of unblocking, she begs him in person. He says, he
will unblock when she realises her mistake. Her self-respect warns her to block
him. She too takes revenge and returns home with a heavy heart. She wants to
take refuge at her mother’s diary.
Santhoshi
vanthu Naal varusham agiduchu. avar koncham enna vitu vilaguraronu thonuchu.
Oruvaelai Santhoshi irukuranala irukalam
…
Ada
Rama.. Naan thaan avar maritarunu thappa nenaichitaen. innaiku office pogama
romba naeram roomlayae iruntharu. yaenu kaeta “nee katindu irukura pudhu sari
enna poga vidamatanguthu” “office porathu unga kadaimanna..pongo”. avar katila
kaati “ithuvum ennoda duty thaandinu” siricharu.
Mobile sings. She knows it’s a call from
Aanand’s friend requesting her to unblock.
Ivalavu
naala naan manasula nenaikiratha muhathula padichi nadantha avaroda manasa naan
evalavu purinchikitaenu therila. avaroda kadaisi naal. Enkaya pidichitu “Nayagi
payapadatha, Santhoshiya aanandama vazhnal muzhuthum vachika oruthan varuvaan.
enaku ore oru aasaithan. nee enna Devanu kupidanum. Kupidu”
“Nayagiyin Devan” murmurs her lips; hands unblock
him. Next second his status…
என் வீட்டில் இரவு அங்கே இரவா
இல்லே பகலா…
சொர்க்கம் மண்ணிலே பிறக்க
நாயகன் ஒருவன்…
நாயகி ஒருத்தி…
“OMG! He doesn’t even need my face to read; just
hears my thoughts; speaks to my heart; lives with my LOVE.”
