"This is the first time," he whispers, "I'm hearing you without a speaker."

Priya, a software engineer in Coimbatore, accidentally dialed Karthik while trying to reach a customer care number. He answered with a groggy " Enna venum? " (What do you want?).

Karthik replies: "Naan bayandhuttu irukken." (I'm scared.)

He turns. She's not a supermodel. He's not a hero. But her eyes are exactly the warm brown he imagined from her voice. He walks to her, takes the phone from her hand, and ends the call.
