Saksham was compriing the programmes , he announced the programme- Solo by Gopika

Gopika’s heart beat went fast. She was feeling hell nervous. Saksham signed her to smile. Maya held her hand and looked her

Maya : Think that your favourite author Arya is here only and listening you calmly. Just melt yourself in song and do it. All the best

Gopika went to the middle of stage and looked the guest and audience also. She took the paper in her hand and started imagining herself in a world of those things mentioned by Arya in poem . She started singing beautifully.

Varamanjaladiya ravinte maril
oru manhu thulli urangi..
nimineramenthino thengi nilavin
virahamennalum mayangi..
pulari than chumbana kumkumamalle
rithunandiniyakki…avale
panineer malarakki..
Varamanjaladiya ravinte maril
oru manhu thulli urangi..
[A dewdrop falls asleep, in the embrace of the night
Know not why weeps for a second!
Yet dozes off in its loneliness!
Is it the kiss of crimson dawn,
that blossomed the spring in her?
That turned her to this rose bloom?
A dewdrop falls asleep, in the embrace of the night]

While hearing this Saksham lost in his world of romancing Gopika

kili vannu konjiya jalakavathil
kaliyay chariyathare..
mudiyizha kothiya kattin mozhiyil
madhuvay mariyathare..
avalude mizhiyil karimashiyale
kanavukalezhuthiyathare..
ninavukalezhuthiyathare..
avale tharalithayakkiyathare..
Varamanjaladiya ravinte maril
oru manhu thulli urangi..
nimineramenthino thengi nilavin
virahamennalum mayangi..
[Who playfully closed the door,
as the bird tweeted at her window?
Who sweetened the tunes
of breeze that fondled her hair?
By whom, were those dreams written in her eyes?
Who wrote those memories?
Who dazzled her?
A dew drop falls asleep, in the embrace of the night
Know not why, weeps for a second!
Yet dozes off in its loneliness!]

Maya looked Arjun and Arjun too looked her and smiled. She imagined romancing Arjun

mizhi peythu thornnoru sayanthanathil
mazhayay chariyathare…
dalamarmaram nertha chillakalkkullil
kuyilay mariyathare…
avalude kavilil thuduviralale
kavithakalezhuthiyathare..
mukulithayakkiyathare..
avale pranayiniyakkiyathare..
[Who came as the drizzle on this eve,
as the tears dried out her eyes?
Who came as the cuckoo on this branch,
as the leaf murmurs faded away?
Who wrote these poems,
on her cheeks with a finger touch?
Who budded her desires?
Who turned her to a lover?]

Meanwhile Gopika was travelling alone on her own world of fantasy

Varamanjaladiya ravinte maril
oru manhu thulli urangi..
nimineramenthino thengi nilavin
virahamennalum mayangi..
pulari than chumbana kumkumamalle
rithunandiniyakki…avale
panineer malarakki….
[A dewdrop falls asleep, in the embrace of the night
Know not why weeps for a second!
Yet dozes off in its loneliness!
Is it the kiss of crimson dawn,
that blossomed the spring in her?
That turned her to this rose bloom?
A dewdrop falls asleep, in the embrace of the night]
When the song was finished the response from all were tremendously best for Gopika. Gopika said Thanks in a gentle voice and slowly get down from the stage. Maya rushed near Gopika and held her hand. Gopika’s eyes were filled with tears of joy.
Maya : You did it Gopika, you are fantastic.
Gopika ; Maya , I sang very much well, Am I ?
Maya : Of course yaar, all heard it and lost in your song.
Saksham : Gopika your song was so melodious and meaningful
Gopika; Thanks a lot Saksham
Meanwhile Arjun came there.
Arjun : Excuse me
Maya : Sir , this is my friend Gopika
Arjun : Gopika , I never expected that the lyrics which I penned can be these much beautiful in someone’s voice.
Gopika : Sorry, I didn’t get you .
Arjun : Let me clear your doubts
Arjun start reciting a poem Pathi maanja manjil pathuke peithozhinja mazhayil
                                                 Kaatil minni mayum vilakkai kaathu nilpathare ?
                                                [In the translucent mist, in the quietly drained shower
                                                    Whom do you await, like a  lamp that flickers out in the storm ?]
Gopika continued the next line
                                                      Ninndey Moha Shakalam Peeli Chirag Odinjha Shalabam
                                                  Manasil Menanju Mazhavillu maykumoru Paavam Kanneer Mukilaai Nee
                                            [Your little wish is now a butterfly with broken wings
                                                And you…turned into a hapless teardrop cloud that covers the rainbow woven within.]
Saksham and Maya were wondering what was happening.
Gopika : Sir when will you complete the full lyrics ? In this book only it’s half part is written .
Maya ; Gopika this is written by Arya, right ?
Arjun ; Yes and Arya is my penname .
Gopika : Arya is actually Deputy collector Arjun sir !!! I can’t believe myself. Is it a dream  ?
Arjun smiled and took the book Variant colours of love from Gopika . He penned two lines in them

Ninte Aardra Hrudayam Thooval Chilludanja Padamaayi

[Your tender heart has become a frostbitten portrait]

Irulil Parannu Murivettu Paadum Oru Paavam Thooval Kiliyai Nee

[And you…became a bruised nightingale singing in desperation]

Gopika read it and she felt something special in those lines.

Arjun : Keep singing . Because nightingale should not be in cage, It should fly long and long. Bye.

Gopika was almost lost in his words . She was smiling and looking at the handwritten lines only.

Saksham was wondered to see Gopika like these. He called her Gopika, Gopika.

But she was lost in some other world that she didn’t heard him.

Maya went near the car of Arjun.

Maya : Once again thanks for coming Sir.

Arjun : Your friend is really talented. I think she is very sensitive. You should always stand with her .

Maya : I know sir. I am always with my buddy Gopika.

Arjun : Maya formalities apart please cut the tag Sir. You can call me Arjun. That’s enough.

Maya :But Sir.

Arjun : Please Maya.

Maya : Okay, I will try.

Arjun : Then let’s go for an outing , now

Maya : Now but , I mean ….

Arjun : Just for some time , please.

Maya : Okay

Maya sits beside Arjun in the car . Both of them looked each other and smiled
