Nenu asalu enduku Rama Krishna ni tappuga ardham chesukoni, accident avadanki help chesanu, ento naaku ee paristhiti ukkiri bikkiriga undi. Hospital lo thanu join ayinappati nunchi tana chuttu jarigina sanghatanalu tana gurinchi naku cheputhunaya? ilanti manchi manishiki apadha ravadaniki nuvu oka karanam ani chupisthunaya? Leka Rama Krishnani nenu preminchadani ki karanaluga, na kanta kanipistunaya? Ardham kavatam ledu, kani, okati nijam, nenu Rama Krishna ni mosam chesanu. Ishtam ayina vari mundhu namakam kolpovatam ante, biddaki thalli prema kolpoyinatle, maru thalli vachina, marosari namina, aa namakanki anumanam ane alochana ardhangiga jivitha kalam jivisthuntundi.

Rama Krishna hospital nunchi discharge ayipoyadu, kalam chala kangaruga kadulutundi karanam ento ani kanukunte Rama Krishna gayalu purthiga tagadanki ani cheptundi kaalam. Complete ga Rama Krishna recover ayipoyadu, chepali ante Rama Krishna chala smart, inka andamga kuda untadu. Sutiga chuse chuputho, kopam vaste kanubommalamida kopani kaputhu, orputho samadhanam chepthadu. Suryudu kiranala lanti podavati mukku, adapilla manasu ardham chesukune magavadi manasu, etuvanti magavaditho ayina damuga poti pade mogathanam, nanu mundhu petukunte sigutho erupu ekki na bugalaki, inka erupu rangu ravaali ani guchukune geddam, Gunde baruvu mosi gattipadina bhujala balamtho, aru adugula medhavi vaadu. Premaki pula thota aye pudami vade, potiki pothe pranalu vadhile yuddhapu pudami vade. ilanti vadni evaru vadhulukuntaru? Kevalam athani gurinchi teliyani varu, telusukoleni varu thapa. Accident avadaniki nenu kuda oka karanam ani Rama Krishna tho cheppi, Paris return ayipodham anukuntuna, anthalo Rama Krishna nunchi call vachindi, intiki ramani.

Enduku ramanadu ani alochanatho, nenu Rama Krishna intiki vellanu. Intlo andaru mattadukuntunaru family trip ani, chala happy ga unnaru. Alanti samayamlo nenu aa nijam chepadam correct anipinchaledu. Nenu silent ga unnanu, valla matalu vintuna. Final ga Manali veldham ani fix ayaru. Appudu nenu Rama Krishna tho nenu Paris ki tirigi vellipodam anukuntunanu repu ani chepanu.

“Nuvu kuda matho patu trip ki ramani chepudam anukoni pilichanu, possible ayithe ravachuga,” ani naa kanula vanka chusthu adigadu Rama Krishna. Nijaniki Rama Krishna chupulu chala sutiga untayi. Tana kanulanu chusthe, pedavulatho pilichina kuda, kanulatho ravachu kada ani asha kanipistundi. Nenu inka no chepalekapoyanu, sare vasta ani. Andharam Manali reach ayyamu.

Vellindi December lo kabati manchu baga padutundi. Aunty inka uncle ayithe malli young age loki vachesaru. Manchu kondala madhya, manasuki nachina vaditho naa manasu husharuga urakalu vestundhi. Kani koni alochanalu nanu aapestunayi. Manali anta chusamu, chala saradaga nalugu rojulu gadichipoyayi. Oka roju Rama Krishna Kheerganga Trek veldham ani andaritho anadu. Kani evaru oppukoledu. Aunty vallu maa vayasuki antha chaliki undalem ani, Shiva emo valla abbai chinna pillavadu kabatti cold issues vastayi ani antunnadu. Appudu uncle anaru “Neku mari anthaga vellali ante Rukminini adugu, vasta ante teesukoni vellu, local ga memu chudavalsina devalayalu koni unayi vatiki memu veltamu ani antunnaru. Rama Krishna ki nijam chepadani ki naaku koncham time dorikindi ani nenu anukunanu. Marusati roju telavarujamuna start ayamu nenu inka Rama Krishna. Andani thellani aakasham lanti manchu maa chuttu, Rama Krishna manasula unte, bharinchaleni chali naalo unna nijamlaa naa vaipu vistundi. Kheerganga stay location ki vellamu, madhyahanam bhojana samayani ki koncham rest thisukoni view chudadaniki vellamu. Kastam ga unna, ishtanga undali anipinche challani gali, prathi okkarilo pasimanasuni mundhuku techche manchu varsham, surya kiranalaki karuguthu unna bangarapu rangu manchu kondalu, vati madhya sigupaduthu vachi poye surya kiranalu. Annam badhulu aalu paratalu, maa ammayila andamaina nadumu ompulakana andamga unna daari malupulu. Chandrudi ki Hi.. chepadaniki sayankalam siddhanga undi, nakshatrala madhya nallani aakasham undi emo annattu undi aakasham.

Trek ki matho paatu inko 3 random jantalu join ayyaru. Andaru kalisi camp fire veysaru. Kontha mandi padutunaru, kondaru dance vesthu enjoy chestunaru. Rama Krishna mathram edho rasukuntu kurchunadu. Andaru adigaru Rama Krishna ni, “Em rastunnav bro?” ani. Rama Krishna mathram navi samadhanam em chepaledu. Appudu nenu ananu, “Rama Krishna kavithalu rasthadu,” ani. Andaru inka gola chesi okka kavita cheppamanaru adikuda romantic ga naa meeda. Vallandaru memu couples anukuntunaru. Nenu aithe Rama Krishna kavitha cheppadu emo anukunna, kani athani kavitha manchu varsham la nemadhiga modhalu ayindi.

Indhradhanasuni nii nadumu ompulo odigi unche sompulu nivii…

Nalupu ranguni raninche rathri tho, chelimi chese kurulu nivii…

Ayidhu nara adugula tanuvulo thene dachina deham nidhe…

Vaddinche paruvulanu paita venuka pondhu chesina paruvaala paala pitta nuve…

Agniparvatam asuya pade antha meda ompune vedi vayaram nidhe…

Hrudayaniki oorata kaliginche, kaugilla kota unna nindu kanya manasu nidhi…

Bhudevi andala baruvula kana ni nishwasa uchwasa baruvula madhya swedaniki unna baruve ekkuva…

Ani cheputhu, naa kanula vanka sutiga chusthu chinnaga navutunadu Rama Krishna, naku chala siggu vesindi. Aadadhani andalu pogadalana hadulu telusukoni aksharaniki andham alankarinchali ani telisi undali, aa vishayam Rama Krishna kavitha ki baga telusu ani ardham ayindi. Inthalo maa room stay maintenance person vachi, “Sir, mee room heater unatu undi panicheyatam ledu, heater lekunda aa wood stay lo chala kashtam, meeku tent arrange chestanu,” ani chepadu. Rama Krishna naa vanka chusadu, aa chupukiki “Neeku sare na..?” ani adagindi anipinchindi. Nenu aa maintenance person tho, “Mari tent lo chali veyada?” ani adaganu. Athanu “Antha veyadu madam,” ani navuthu chepadu. Aa navuki ardham naku ardham kaledu. Sare ani, dinner chesi padukovadaniki vellamu.

Tent top lo transparent ga undi, chandrudu velugulo nakshatralu maa vanke chustunatu anipistundi. Anthupattani asha tho vaadu unte, eppudu chenthaku vastado ani anthupattani anandamlo nenu unna. Naa alochanalu entha allariga unnayo, okka aadapilla manasukey ardham avutayi. Naa vayasu vedini veliginchatani ki vathavaranam vadhaku vachindi, kani vadi vechani sparsha thone spandistanu ani cheptundi naa aadathanam. Naa manasulo mata vinadi emo manchu varsham. -4°C ki vathavaranam teesukoni velli nanu vanikistundi. Nanu chusi hathukunadu Rama Krishna. Asha aviriga oopiri vaduluthu manchuga maruthu maa iddarini inka dagara chesindi. Rama Krishna vechani kaughiliki, naa meda ompuna vedi thodu ayi iddari kotha korikalaki naa kurulatho kappi, kasta nidhaninchamu. Naa gunde chapudu veganiki, veganga viche gali kuda vishranthi tisukunela undhi. Anthalo Rama Krishna nanu inka dagaraga tesukunnadu. Tana kandallo usharu naa oopirini uppenala pongistundi. Nishwasa uchwasaalaki thappa maa tanuvula madhya malupula rekha ki kuda chotu ledhu. Naa andhalanu elukomani nenu, naa paruvulanu prematho panchukundam ani thanu. Maa madhya virahalu ponguthu, mohamatamulu manchula karuguthu, naa sigguni chinnaga tana magatanam ki mudivesi marichipoyi, munduku mudhu pettadaniki vellanu, Appudu Rama Krishna naato, “Paruvani pranam kanna ekkuvaga choosukuney aadadi, paruvam panchi ivvadani ki siddhapadindi ee roju. Mari aa roju naa pranam thiyadaniki enduku prayatnichindoo mari,” ani anadu Rama Krishna naatho. To be Continued on 27th  Dec 2024
