O PITTA KATHA

ARAKU

"Something seemed a puzzle to my heart"

"and glittered in me mischievously"

"Asking me to rush..."

"My feet don't stop"

"Oh no...!"

"Moon is shining by looking at me"

"By touching me..."

"The raindrop is turning into a pearl"

"Being a creator, won't I indite..."

"...my dreams like a floral garden"

"I'll catch all the dreams with a net"

"Only if the reality was even more beautiful"

"Oh no...!"

"Moon is shining by looking at me"

"By touching me..."

"The raindrop is turning into a pearl"

Wow!

Hey!

Is the Sub Inspector available?

-Yes. He's inside. Go. -Okay.

Please come, uncle.

Sir, can I speak with SI Mr. Murali?

Mr. Murali has been transferred to Vizag recently.

New SI has taken charge.

-Wait here. -Hmm.

Sir... Sir... I really don't know. I didn't steal it, sir.

You'll know everything now.

Remember you asked me about this case...

Excuse me, can you please call the SI?

He will scold if anyone interrupts his interrogation.

Tell me.

-What did you do with the necklace? -Sir, I really don't know anything.

Answer me!

Answer me, dammit!

-Answer me! -Sir.

Sir, could you please call the SI urgently?

How many times do I have to tell you he's busy?

I swear, sir. Someone is framing me for the crime.

I'm telling the truth, sir. I didn't take it.

How long do I have to wait, sir?

This is a very serious matter, sir.

A girl is missing and you don't care the least.

Call the SI right now.

-Ramana... -Sir!

What's the problem?

What did you say her name was?

P. Venkata Lakshmi, sir.

-How long has she been missing for? -Since the 10th of this month, sir.

-Hmm. So it's been 3 days. -Yes, sir.

Then why didn't you file a complaint till now?

She was done with her exams.

She wanted to take a trip to Araku in the car with her friends and I agreed.

She drives recklessly, so I sent one of my workers as the driver.

Both their phones are not reachable now.

I called her friends and found out that none of them went on the trip.

I'm scared they might've met with an accident.

No accident cases have been registered in Araku in the last 2 days.

Moreover, she said she'd go with her friends but she went alone.

-Maybe she left with her boyfriend or... -Sir...

I admit my daughter is free spirited but her character is not cheap.

Every father trusts his daughter.

It's not like they tell their fathers everything.

But she tells me about everything, sir.

Venkata Lakshmi lost her mother as soon as she was born.

I was always there for her so that she doesn't feel her mother's absence.

-Hello... Is it? -

Venky, it's your friend Kaveri. Your supplementary exam results are out.

Lord... Lord... Please, Lord.

Make sure I pass M1 subject.

It's been giving me a hard time for 3 years.

-Please, Lord. -Venky cleared all the subjects?

Very good!

You're powerful, Lord.

-I'll visit your temple for 3 weeks. -Is it?

Dad, what about her results?

What about your results, dear?

Poor girl! She couldn't clear M1 subject.

Lord, not just 3 weeks,

I'll visit your temple for 7 weeks now.

-Dad! -Yes, dear.

-Here you are. -Congrats, dear.

You can congratulate me later. First, close your eyes.

Why, dear?

Just close your eyes and open your mouth.

What is this? Huh?

It's the holy offering of Lord Sai Baba.

You'll be cursed if you insult it.

But I'll lose my sight if this gets into my eyes.

Tell me this. You say it's a holy offering of Lord Sai Baba.

But you eat all the sweets and give us the holy ashes.

You don't know how powerful Lord Sai Baba is.

Huh?

I thought he could only perform materialistic miracles.

But he failed the girl I cheated from and made me pass.

That's his power.

Kaveri is going to be so pissed off.

-This is sadism. -Huh?

Why are you so excited that she failed?

It's obvious. While I write one exam a day...

They will have multiple exams and it's so damn satisfying!

Anyways, you won't get it, dad. I'm running late for college. Bye.

Hey! Hey! Your breakfast...

You only made that upma, didn't you? You only have it.

She was all about college, dance and me.

We were more like friends than father-daughter.

Do you remember Madhu?

She wouldn't do anything without telling me.

You're right.

That's how they behave at home.

She wouldn't tell you who all she's meeting outside, right?

You two might be really close,

but she wouldn't intimate you before eloping with someone, right?

Stop it, sir.

Venky is not that kind of a girl.

Don't talk about her like that.

Who is he?

My nephew, sir.

He lives abroad.

I was planning to get them married next month.

Hmm. That's the matter.

She's in love with someone.

She could neither tell you the truth nor marry him, so...

No, sir.

She was in love with me and wanted to get married to me.

Ours was love at first sight, sir.

When I first came to India...

-Alright then. See you tomorrow. Bye. -Okay, bye.

Hi... I'm Krish.

I'm actually coming from Shanghai, China.

So... I'm new to this place.

Can you guide me to Mr. Veera Raju's house?

-Mr. Veera Raju's house? -Yeah.

Hmm. I'm also going that way.

-Get on. I'll drop you. -Nice! Thank you.

-Hello, brother. Huh?

Take this.

Keep the change. Thanks.

Let's go.

So, how do you know Mr. Veera Raju?

Ah... Why?

It's just that I know him really well.

He has no distant relatives who live close.

I'm closer kin who lives in a distant land.

-What? -Hmm... You know... It's a long story.

No problem. We have a long way to go. Tell me.

Mr. Veera Raju is my uncle.

Uncle?

Yeah.

-My mom and dad fell in love 25 years back -Hmm.

Uncle didn't approve due to the caste difference.

-They eloped and got married as usual. -Hmm.

Obviously, uncle didn't let them into the house.

So they moved to China and settled there.

I was born and raised there in China.

-China? -Hmm.

I've recently watched Mahesh Babu's Brahmotsavam on the internet.

I've been eager to meet my relatives since,

so I found the address, intimated uncle and here I am.

That's all. That's my story.

Whoa! It's really a long story.

-We can make it into a web series. -

My mom used to tell me that the village would be very beautiful.

If I knew it would be so beautiful...

-...I would've been to India long back. -Hmm.

My dad tells me that the Chinese invented everything.

But I never knew you people invented the art of flirting too.

Get down.

What happened?

This is Mr. Veera Raju's house you asked for.

Wow! Fantastic!

It's superb!

I've been noticing you.

Why do you exclaim at everything you see?

Umm... I don't know.

By the way, where do you live?

I live in this house only.

Dad!

What? Dad?

So you are Mr. Veera Raju's...

I'm your Veer Raju uncle's daughter.

-Oh! -Dad! Look who's here for you.

It's funny, uncle.

She got all the details out of me but she didn't tell me... What do you say?

-Sister-in-law. -That she's my sister-in-law.

Maybe she just wanted to tease her cousin.

Venky is still a kid at heart.

She doesn't have a mother.

What?

How was she born without a mother?

So is she a test tube baby?

Test tube baby?

Thank god you didn't say YouTube baby.

No, son.

Your aunt was gone after Venky's birth.

Oh. Where did she go, uncle?

She didn't go to any place.

She left me behind and went up there.

Okay. Okay. Now I get it.
