After a long sleep Aryan woke Sanju to have food. She got up clutching his shirt tight.

A: Sanju come lets go down and have food. you will be hungry

S: No I don't want to go.

A: hmmm I will get your food here.

S: Don't go. Please...

Aryan called up kousalya to give the food at Sanju's room.

A: Sanju I know you are scared but you need to be strong to face any problem in your life.

S: I understand and I will be fine with sometime.

A: No worries I will be with you in all ups and downs.

By evening Aryan took her to the garden and sat over watching the orange sun. Sanju was lost in her thoughts. Aryan kept speaking and she was just listening. She leaned on to his shoulder and he wrapped his hands around her. Not the setting sun and its rays gave the warmth to her but Aryan and his words soothed her heart that screamed in pain and she found the true solace in him.

When they returned to her room, she saw maids moving in and out from her room. On entering inside the room she saw Aryan's office desk moved to her room and the room was setup differently.

S: why are your things kept here?

A: Because we are going to stay together in this room.

Sanju looked at him with a lot of questions from her eyes.

A: Don't worry I m not taking the situation in my favor. I know you are vulnerable now and need a support and I will be happy If I m the one do it. If you deny, no problem, things will be set back to the previous state in next one hour. Do you want to clear it off?

Sanjana thought off the way Aryan cared for her and he was genuine and stayed in his limits even when she was drugged. His care and warmth melted her and she too wanted to stay in his embrace and she wanted badly at this situation.

S: No

A: But you need a transformation from what you are now. I want you to be the strongest so just believe me, I will take care of you.

S: hmmm.

A: You can rest for a week and then get back to work. Stay strong I will not let you alone this time.

S: Will you stay with me at home until I m back to work?

A: If you insist I will stay but I want you to get your mind back to normal. You know women are the strongest by body and mind than men. How could you let yourself down and sit back crying all time? Do you think you deserve this ? Aren't you capable of fighting back the struggles? I make you clear that you will have to face even more from now so I want you do be brave. Aryan Chaitanya is with you. Remember with every step you go ahead Aryan is behind you so you need not be scared. Get ready to face the world.

Sanju hugged him with tears wetting his shirt. Aryan caressed her hair and kissed her side head.

A: Cheer up swetheart

He took her down to have dinner. Then they came back to their room and changed to their night dress and Sanju laid on the bed, Aryan covered her with the duvet and kissed her forehead.

A: Good night darling. I have some work. you sleep

S: good night Aryan

He was happy to hear her call him Aryan.

He went to his desk to look after his works. Every now and then he was looking at Sanju to check if she is disturbed in her sleep. After finishing his works he slept on the couch.

Morning Sanju woke and saw him sleeping on the couch. She bathed and changed her dress and sat on the bed watching him sleep. His face was frown may be due to the discomfort in sleeping on the couch.

Aryan stirred and open his eyes due the hard sun hitting his face. He saw Sanju sitting on the bed.

A: Good morning sweetheart

S: Good morning

A: I will freshen up.

S: hmm

Aryan bathed and came out in his bath robe. Sanju gulped down looking at his wet figure and shifted her gaze from him. Aryan went to the closet and changed to his tracks and Tee.

A: shall we go down for breakfast or you wanted to have here?

S: Will go down

A: good.

They went down and Sanju sat in the dining while Aryan went towards Ranjith who was standing in the living.

R: Good morning sir. I have checked Daniel's personal and official mobile but there is no suspicious calls. He had spoken only to Manasi on the day she was admitted in the hospital and the next day. No calls later.

A: What did he say?

R: He says he drugged Sanjana on his own and he spoke to Manasi just a colleague.

A: What if you are not aware of his secret nos? How is his condition now?

R: He is burning due to the hormone raise, becoming mad and the entire cell is filled with his roars.

A: If my guess is correct Manasi has played a role in this. Do one thing. Drug him double dose and take Manasi in front him. Ask him the questions you want. He should answer you then.

R: Won't it be too cruel to handover her to him if she is not involved?

A: If she is involved I m least bothered even if he kills her with his burning body but don't let her to him just put an act of giving her to him and then send her back. Remember to take her unconscious so that she doesn't know about Daniel's condition and our cell.

R: ok sir.

A: Once he spits the truth I will show the real hell.

K: Sanju ma ippo eppadi da irukku?

S: Nalla irukken ma.

K: Annaikku sir unna thookittu varum bodhu unna patha udane romba bayandhuten da. Pavam sir than thoongama, sapdama unna paathukkutaru.

Sanju saw Aryan speaking to Ranjith while his hands busy running through his well set hair.

Aryan came back to dining and saw Sanju waiting for him.

A: Why were you waiting for me?

S: Chumma

They had breakfast and spent time watching movies, TV shows, sports. Occassionally Aryan went to look after his works and busy with some office calls.

By night they entered the room to sleep. Sanju hesitated for a long time without getting bed.

A: What, are you not sleeping ?

S: hmm.. Why do you sleep on couch?

A: Where else do I sleep?

S: you slept on the bed a day before.

A: You were scared and having nightmares so I thought of comforting you.

S: Are you not feeling uncomfortable on the couch?

Aryan left out a chuckle.

A: Will you be comfortable If I share the bed? What if I take advantage of you?

S: No you won't.

A: Do you believe me so much?

S: hmmm

Aryan went closer to her that hardly there was space between them. He put a strand of hair behind her ears.

A: I may not be good all time sweetheart. Don't believe me. He kissed her sidehead.

Sanju's eyes wide opened hearing him. Aryan smiled at her reaction.

A: Go sleep. I have some work to be finished.

He took his mobile and reached the balcony and closed the balcony doors as he could keep his talks secret from Sanjana.
