Eigee handbag na makhoina yengakliba mapasida khanli. Ei keinoma ningsingake. Eingonda ngangakeba nupidu homo ni hynakhibani. Saoba henmanbana eisu chin thirami.

“Nasagi apikpa keinoduda chupuso.”

“Eikhoi. Ani. Engage. Twdri. Amasung. Ei. Nanga. Punshida. Sunglei. Leiminaroi. Anouba. Rent. Amada. Hongadoune.”

Mahaki nuts watpa brain duda, eina hyribasingsi ningsingnaba, wahei amamamtang tapna tapna hai.

“Adudi keigi?”

Ngi dream house ta leibagi eina offer ama pibani. Sida ngna yaningdrise keigino?”

“Maana anouba leiraga pirambagi type ta hero gi pose taga chatkhriye. Migi dress pirambasida mahakna asukyam chaokthokesina keigino? Pungchatpa oibagi oiramani.”
