Krishnudu dakkinchukoleni prema.
Rukmini ranistunna prema.

Rama ki dakkina prema kuda nilabadani prema.
Lava Kushalaku labhinchina prema.

Oka chota odi inko chota gelichina premaki charitra untune undi. Rendava sari gelichina premaki gatham unte, mari aa gathamlona modati prema entha varaku? Manishi mare antha varaka? Leka manishini marichipoye antha varaka?

Rama Krishna father ala ontariga koorchoni unnaru. Nenu velli uncle tho matladudham  anukune lopu, Radha vala father vacharu, Rama Krishna father tho matladataniki. Valla maatalu ila sagutunai:

Radha (Father): Namaste sir, devudu unnadu, mana vadiki yem kaaledu.

Rama Krishna (Father): Namaste sir. Avunu devudu unnadu, anduke tana unniki chati cheppukovadam kosam kashtam ichinattu, ichina kashtam lo unna kanniru konchem tudichi, nenu unnanu ani cheppukuntademo anipistundi sir roju rojuki. Inthaki ide na ravatam?

Rama Krishna (Father): Oka tandriga vadiki kavalisina avasaralu teerchanu oka madhya taragathi vadiga. Naa pedha koduku, chinnaappati nunchi, nannu peddaga adigindhi emi ledhu sir. Alanti vadiki oka ammayi nachi, meeru valla intiki velli matlaadandi nanna ani vaadu nannu adige lopu, nenu vaaditho annanu—Radha valla parents tho nenu matlaadanu ani. Enduko telusa sir, nenu mimmalni adigina kuda oppukoru, meku ardham ayye laga cheppina kuda okka nimisham alochana kuda cheyaru ani. Adi naaku baga telusu.

Naa badha mimmalini vachi adagadam kadhu sir, naa koduku adige modhati korika adi. Nenu teerchaleni chivari korika kuda adhey avuthundi kabatti. Eppudu emi adagani vaadu, adigina okkati kuda teerchaleka pothe, oka tandriga unde ah avedana meku cheppakarledu.

Kalikalani nadipinche dabbu ni vadu preminchadam maanesi, gauravistunnadu. Alanti vadiki inko ammayini pelli chesi premichu ani yem cheppagalanu? Oka vela pelli chesina kuda kaapuram ki deham okkate kadu sir, manassu kuda mundhuku ravali kadha. Anduke manashanthi leni vadi manasuni chusi nenu mouna margam teesukunanu. Anthe kani meeru chesina tappu emi ledu sir, meeru ala emi anukokandi.

Radha (Father): Manasulo entha baruvu pettukunnaru sir, daniki kaaranam nene ani ardham avutundi. Aashalu aaviri ayipoyi, pranam okate unna jeevanni sir nenu. “Kshaminchandi” ani adagadam tappa emi cheyalenu.

Rama Krishna (Father): Tappu ikkada evaridhi kadu sir. Rendu kutumbala madhya paristhithulu anthe. Manishi ki unna manasu, paristhithulanu patinchukodhu. Paristhithulaki manushulato pattimpu undadhu. Anduke kalam ki jeevudi jeevitam ante eppudu lokuve, lokaniki edhuru velle vadiki bandhalu kuda takkuve.

Radha (Father): Meeru cheppedi nijame sir. Inthaki meeru Rukmini ni chusara? Acham mana Radha la undi.

Rama Krishna (Father): Chusanu, Rama Krishna Paris vellaka mundhe Tara naaku cheppindhi aa ammayi gurinchi, Aa vishayam telsinappudu ekkado chinna aasha kaligindhi. Inthalo veedi accident. Anduke antaru emo, bharinche vadike baadhalu, oarchukune vadike otamini isthadu devudu ani.

Vallu iddaru matladukuntu unnaappudu, nenu inka mundhuku vella, Rama Krishna father ki water bottle ivvadam kosam. Uncle water tagi, “Rama Krishna ni eppudu chudachu anta amma kanukkunava?” ani adagaru. “Already Shiva chudadaniki velladu uncle. Migilina vallu rendu rojulu tarvata chudachu ani cheptunnaru uncle,” ani cheppanu. Appudu uncle natho, “Tara anna maatalaki nuvvu emi feel avakura. Ayina Tara cheppinattu, nindu chandamama okkate untundi. Kaani adi oka roju matrame untundi. Nelavanka neela untundi, nela chivara varaku untundi. Rama Krishna aa okka rojulo undipoyadu. Inko 29 rojulu unnayi ani, neeku ishtam unte vaditho cheppu,” ani cheppi akkada nunchi vellipoyaru.

Uncle maatalu vinnaka, ippudu ardham ayindi naaku, asalu Rama Krishna ki inni maatalu ela vachayi ani. Acham uncle laga chaala teliviga matladuthadu Rama Krishna kuda. Enduku ante, indirect ga nannu, Rama Krishna ni pelli chesukuntava? ani adigaru. Ela ante Rama Krishna thaggipokunda, nenu ibbandi padakunda. Asalu entha andam ga adigaru! Okaru ibbandhi padakunda matladali ante, baadha viluva telisi undali. Alanti vaare manassu nochukokunda manassu mechukunela matladutaru.

Oka aadapillaki yetuvanti abbayi bharthaga kavali ane prashnaki samadhanam antha suluvuga dorukutundha? Nijaniki aa prashnaki aadapilla edighe chuttu pakkala vaataavaranamki gatti sambandham untundhi. Udaaharanaki, oka ammayiki chinnappudu nunchi tandri lekapote, aa premani vacche bhartha tanapai choopinchaali anukuntundi. Alaage, okkoka ammayi jeevitam okalaga untundi. Vacche bhartha aa lotu patlu gamaninchi sainikudila sarichesinappudu, aa korikanu ammayiki sontham chese vela, aa sainikudu sedha tirchataniki sarasam ane saamrajyanki unna prema talupulanu terustundhi.

Idi oka rakamaina srushti dharmam, chetlu ki nadhiki unna sambandham lantidi. Aa bandhanki manam pettukune perulu aneka rakalu – pelli, kaapuram, kalisi jeevinchadam, kashta sukhalu panchukovadam lantivi. Mari Rama Krishna nenu chesina tappunu kshaminchi sarichesthada ani alochana lo padi unna naku podhu pothunna samayam lo, Rama Krishna mother natho, “Repu gudiki veldam anukuntunna. Nuvvu kuda vasthava?” ani adagaru.

Nenu okka nimisham kuda alochinchakunda, “Sare vastanu aunty,” ani cheppanu. Entho aathruthaga, naa mukhamlo aathrutha chusi aunty chinna navvu navvukunnaru. Appudu nenu aunty tho, “Ante aunty, naaku gudi ante ishtam,” ani edo cover chesanu. Nijaniki, aunty tho matladithe, Rama Krishna gurinchi konchem telusukovachu ani nenu antha aarata paddanu.

Marusati roju tellavaru jamuna nenu lechi ready ayi, car lo Radha valla inti nunchi Rama Krishna valla intiki vellanu. A illu chala pedhadhi, villa ani anukunnanu kaani, pedha kota la undhi. Appudu anipinchindi, ee inti kodalu ante yuva rani la masulukovali ani.

Nenu Rama Krishna sthayi ki saripothana? Ani modhati sari anipinchindi. Enduku ante, vinna vaibhavam kanna veekshinchina vastavanike viluva ekkuva kabatti. Nenu nalo yemito alochinchukuntu, adugulo adugu vesthu lopalaku vellanu. Hall lo Rama Krishna amma undhi, pani vallu tho matladutundi. Nannu chusi, “Are Rukmini vachhesava? Nene pick chesukundham anukunnanu, sare vachesav anthe chalu. Oka 10 nimishalalo start avudham ani,” annaru.

Nenu hall lo unna photos inka awards chusthunanu. Avi Rama Krishna inka Shiva ki business lo vachina awards. Antha lopu Ramakrishna valla amma naatho, “Veldama Rukmini?” ani adigaru. “Sare aunty,” ani reply ichanu. Idharam car lo start ayyam.

Darilo, nenu aunty tho matladanu, “Aunty, sudden ga temple ki veldham anaru, emi jarigindi?” ani adiganu.“Rama Krishna arogyam antha chakkabadipothe, gudi lo annadanam chesta ani nenu mokukuna rukmini. Andhuke akada panulu ani mana vaalu chusukuntunaru, vantala dagera undi vadidham ani veldham anukuna. Naku thoduga nuvvu unte baguntundanipinchi pilichanu,” ani chepparu, Idharam gudi ki cheraka, chala mandiki annadanam chesam. Antha ayetapatiki madhyanam 2:00 ayindhi. Idharam kasepu gudilo kurchunamu maa matalu ila saguthunayi.

Aunty: Chala opiga ani panullo involve ayyavu ee roju Rukmini nuvvu.

Rukmini: Devudi panulu kadha aunty, vadhu annakuda opika vachestundi.

Aunty: Naa Rama Krishna jeevitam lo ade opika leka oka ammayi vellipoyindi, naa Rama Krishna ni ontari vadini chesi.

Rukmini: Opika leka vellipoyindi ani manam analememo aunty, inkokaritho undaleka vellipoyindemo ani kuda anavachu anukunta aunty.

Aunty: Okaru ishtam unte, valla gatha gamyam lo unna parichayalu patinchukoru ani ninnu chusaka naku ardham avuthundi.

Rukmini: Ishtam unte ardham chesukuntaru, kani ardham chesukovadam agipothe alusuga ayipotharu. Ade prema unte pattinchukoru, pariganalo teesukoru. Pariganaloki teesukoni prayanalu enni unna lenate

Aunty: Manasu marchukuna manishini,
          Mata vinani vyaktiki,
          Marchadam, mandhalinchadam kanna marichipovadame manchidi.

Rukmini: Rama Krishna midha prema penchukovadhu ani chepputunnara aunty…?

Aunty: Penchukuna prema, abhimanamga marchukomantunnanu. Enduku ante, Rama Krishna gurinchi naaku telusu kabatti. Neetho gadipina 3 rojulu, matladina 4 matalu anni neetho kadhu, vadi manasulo migilipoyina roopam tho. Andukane cheptunnanu, Rukmini, nuvvu badha padathavemo ani mundhe teliyajestunnanu.

Rukmini: Manushulu kalavadaniki karanalu chala rakalu — roopam, avasaram, ishtalu, etc. Annitlo ekuva votlu padedi roopam ke. Naa roopam elago, Rama Krishna manasulo undi. Inka nenu aa manasuki nachinattu masulukovadam matrame migilindhi aunty. Magavadi ishta prakaram naduchu kovadam ante sarvasvam vadulukunnattu kadhu, athaniki sarvasvam maname anattu.

Aadadhani mounam lo unna kanniru venuka matani ardham chesukune magadu, magavadi moratu mata venuka unna badhani ardham chesukune aadadhi oka janta ayithe, jeevithaniki brathakali ane korika vastundhi aunty.

Ani nenu cheppagane, aunty nannu gattiga hathukoni, “Swardham tho adagutanano, leka thalli prema champukoleka adagutanano teliyadhu, kani Rama Krishna ni vadili vellaku Rukmini, vadi chirunavvuku nee parichayam pranam posindhi,” ani cheppi kanta thadi pettukunnaru.

Rendu rojula tarvata, Rama Krishna ni chudachu ani doctor chepparu. Andaram hospital ki vellam. Rendu rojulu mundhe Shiva matladadu Rama Krishna tho. Ippudu andaram kalisi chudataniki vellam. Rama Krishna andarini chusthu, Shiva ni munduku rammannadu. Shiva munduku velladu.

Appudu Rama Krishna, Shiva ni adigadu: “Accident cheyinchindhi evaro kanukkomannaga… telisinda… evaro?”
