"Good Morning Punya" said Thrishul.
"Good morning" she replied without lifting her head from the newspaper.
"You've become lazy" said Thrishul sitting on the couch.
"Summer holidays are very boring..." said Punya.
"I'm telling her to start tuitions for second PU... She's not showing interest" blamed Narmada.
"My Dad has already enrolled me in tutorial...Classes from May 1st" said Thrishul.
"Oh is it? Where is the tutorial?" asked Varun sitting on the sofa pulling his socks up.
"Elite tutorials in Mangalore... Near college" replied Thrishul.
"Punya if you would like to join... I'll enroll you too" said Varun.
"No Appa, I'm so sorry to tell you that I'm not going to any professional courses...so I don't need extra tutoring" she sighed.
Varun nodded silently and asked "What you want to do instead?"
"....." she was bit skeptical to reply. She had heard Prakruth's parents response over the phone last night.
"Go on... Let us know what you think..." said Narmada patting on her back.
"I want to do masters in agriculture" said Punya in a low tone.
"Oh well...That's a great idea. For that too you require CET selection. I think practical paper" said Varun.
"Appa you agreed for my interest" asked Punya.
"Yes Darling... It is your future. I believe in your decision." he shrugged.
"What you wanted me to become??" she asked.
"I'm here to support your dreams not force my dreams on you...." he said pinching her both the cheeks.
"Does it have good future Uncle??" asked Thrishul
"Yeah... Agriculture sector is our country's huge revenue. It definitely has a future. Good that I bought land recently. My darling can learn things practically there" he said and waved at everyone "Bye".
"What you want to do Thrishul?" asked Narmada.
"Aunty I want to be a cardiologist. So MBBS is my next goal" he said.
"Great. All the best" she said and handed over the breakfast to Punya and Thrishul. She walked in to the kitchen to get water.
"Punya it is boring to sit at home. Can we go out?" asked Thrishul.
"It is very hot everywhere.... It will be more boring" she sighed.
"How about some beach? We'll have water to play..." he said excited.
"No... the sand will be hot and breeze is salty"
"Ok any hill station?" he asked.
"They're far from here...Can't be back on same day. If you're planning a family trip. We can go" she said.
"No.. no.. it is only two of us. So you suggest a better place" he said.
"How about our farm land? Appa was telling the plantation is going on there. It is close to the river Phalguni. You will like it" she said in a excited tone.
"Sure... Anywhere with you dear" he said.
"Ok... I'll come in 10 minutes" she said heading towards her room "Amma, I'm going to the farms" she informed Narmada.
"Why do you plan suddenly?" grumbled Narmada.
"Aunty, it is because of me..." said Thrishul.
"Ok... I'll pack lunch for you.... Nothing is there in the farm" she said.
"Amma... No we'll eat outside" screamed Punya from her room.
Narmada said "This girl won't listen to me". Thrishul shrugged...
Punya and Thrishul left in their car to Bantwal... Punya drove the car to the farm.
"Where are the labors? I don't see any of them" said Thrishul as he got down from the car.
"What will they do at the entrance... They'll be inside. Come" she walked ahead.
When they arrived to the planting area, people were busy planting the new plants. Prasad was guiding them the work.
"Hi Prasad" said Punya.
"Hi Ma'am... Namaste" said Prasad politely.
"How's the work going??" she asked.
"Good ma'am. Come I'll show you what all work is done" he said "Ma'am, who is new saab??" he asked curiously seeing Thrishul.
"My cousin Thrishul. Pavan Sir's son" she said.
"Oh Namaste Saab" he said turning towards Thrishul.
"Namaste" he replied "Punya how do you know Prasad so well?" he asked in a low tone.
"I came with Appa to buy this land. Prasad guided and negotiated this farm land for us" she said walking along the farm.
"Oh Good" said Thrishul.
"Prasad arecanut plants are new right?" she asked.
"Yes Ma'am, they were planted last week" he replied.
"Nice, when are coffee plants coming?" she asked.
"Ma'am new plants will come by next month, we'll plant them after first rain" he said.
She nodded in agreement.
By the time they covered the whole farm, it was late afternoon.
"Ma'am it's lunch time, can we go?" asked Prasad.
"Yeah where's restaurant nearby??" asked Thrishul.
Prasad started laughing.... "Saab this is a small village, no restaurants here. We've a tea shop and that is messy" he said.
"Thrishul we've to go home then... Or to city" said Punya.
"No ma'am, did you forget your friend is your neighbor here?" asked Prasad.
"Oh yes how can I...? Is he in the farm?" asked Punya.
"Who's that friend?" asked Thrishul curiously.
"Surprise... Come we'll go" said Punya heading towards the car.
"Tell me yaar" pleaded Thrishul. She nodded sideways.
"Prasad are you coming?" she asked.
"No ma'am, I'll go home and come to that farm itself. You carry on ma'am" he said and went in the opposite direction.
"Hop in" said Punya sitting in the driving seat. Thrishul sat in the car and asked "Hope your friend has something to eat, I'm damn hungry. Walking through the farm made me so tired... You want a career out of this....? Great" he said.
