Ila and Nila are software engineers working for different companies in Tidel Park. They have been engaged a few months back.


Its 12:30 PM and Ila calls up Nila on her extension.

Ila: Hey, Food courtla lunch pogalama?
Nila: Illa da. Konjam tight work irukku. I have an important delivery today. Onsite co-ordinator is already eating my head.You go ahead.
Ila: Sappidama odamba keduthukathey. Health is more important than anything in life. See you in the evening.
Nila: Ok da. I dont know how long this is going to take me.. Take care.

Ila goes to the food court below and stands in the queue to be served. Hears a hi from his back. To his surprise sees Radhika his college mate at engineering.

Ila: Rads!!! What a surprise.. Nee engey inge?
Rads: I am working for pqr softwares. How are you? Nee abc solutionsla velai seyyariya?
Ila: Yes da. Eppadi unakku theriyum?
Rads: Dai un pattaya kelattama suthikittu iruntha ellarukkum thaan theriyum. Friends kooda vanthirukiya?
Ila:Hee.Hee..Illa da, why dont you join me for lunch if you are alone?
Rads: Sure da. Sekkiram poo.. Angey oru table empty aguthu paaru..

Both sits and starts conversing very interestingly. Meanwhile, After 20 mins, A call from the onsite co-ordinator frees her up. She decides to join Ila as a surprise. Comes to the food court and sees him conversing with some one. Thinking it might be some HR person of his company, tries waving at him. No reply..

That Night Ila calls her.
