After Arjun left,Thara huffed and settled herself in the couch.She looked at Sakthi.

'Dei sorry da..Iniku ennaala unkooda help panna iruka mudila...Romba valikudha kai?',Thara asked him and he shook his head.

'Adhellam onnumilla thalaivi,I managed.Vali ellam illa..Rest eduthe nalla..Oru kai dhana vali..Innoru kai irukulla..Naan samalichuten thalaivi..Neenga sollunga,how was your day?',he asked and the day rewinded inside her mind.

She sighed and nodded as good.

'Aprom enna thalaivi?Arjun brother ey vandhu drop pannitu poraaru?Enna nadakudhu?',he asked teasingly which made Thara groan.

'Dei.. Actual ah Rakshan anna dhan ena drop panrenu sonnaru..Yedho dhiderrnu work vandhuruchu...Adhunaala Arjun drop pannaaru..Vera onnum illa',she said.

'Aha..heavy ah plan podraanga polaa',Sakthi chuckled inside his mind.

'Ok ok thalaivi.. Seri sapteengala?',he asked and she shook her head.

'Seri apo edhavadhu cook panunga..Rendu perum sapduvom!',Sakthi said and Thara nodded.

She went inside the kitchen and made them Dosa and Chickpeas curry!

She feeded Sakthi and he moaned for the curry.

'Thalaivii ultimate ah iruku..Namma restaurant start pannitaa neenga dhana chief chef uh!',he asked and she chuckled.

'Naa chef la illa..But apo apo vandhu anga kandipa namma samaipom!Adhuku modhella restaurant open panannum da..adhukulla over ah pesadha',Thaara said.

'Vidunga thalaivi..Adhaan job ku neenga join panteenga..Andha building namaku dhan!',he said.

'Building ah mattu vechu?Adha innum evlo alter panannum theriyuma..Theme ey summa super ah irukanum da!',she said and he nodded wow.

'Epdi irukanum thalaivi?',he asked.

'Dei 4 floor iruku da..Ground floor vandhu kids kaaga..So cartoon theme la irukanum

'Wow, ellathaiyum plan panni dhan apo andha building ah target pannirukeenga',he asked.

'Exactly!',she replied.

'Aana idhukellam neraya selavu aagume thalaivi..Namma kitta irukura money andha building ah vaanguradhukey namaku pathaama iruku...Idhukellam enna pannuvom?',he asked.

'Paathukalam da..Ellam kadavul oda setting uh!Kandippa namaku edhavadhu setting pannirupaaru... Paathukalam',she smiled and he smiled back.

Then she too had her dinner.

'Dei na couch la paduthuruken.. Edhavadhu help na koopdu',,Thara said.

'Ayayoo..I can take the couch,neenga bed la paduthukonga',Sakthi said.

'Dei romba pannadha..Mooditu bed laye padu unaku dhan odambu seri illala',Thara said firmly.

'Adhilla...',she cut him of and said

'Chup!Paduthu thoongu da..Good night',she laid down on the couch and slept.

He too slept on the bed.

A week rolled and Sakthi was completely alright.He started going to office,were Thara was waiting for her next work.

Here, Arjun was cleaning Thara's room.

Rakshan crossed the room and looked at him through the window.

'Ivan enna panraan?',he thought and entered the room.

'Enna da panra?',Rakshan asked.

'Illa machan,Thara ku dust naa allergy..adhaan room dust ah irukenu clean pannitu irundhe',he replied.

'Adha yen nee panra..Maid yaaraiyavadhu panna sollikalam..',Rakshan said.

'Idhula enna da iruku...En Thara iruka pora edam epdi irukumnu enaku dhana theriyum..Maids ku epdi theriyum?Naan paathukuren machaan'he replied with a smile.

'Enamoo pannu', Rakshan huffed.

'Dei naaliku movie promotion kaga oru channel interview iruku da..Thangam ah vara sollanum outfit design panna',Rakshan said and Arjun's face brightened up hearing her name.

'Seri macha nee call panni sollidu',Arjun said and continued his cleaning.

Rakshan dialed Thara and said that she should come for make him an outfit and she agreed to come.

But she was not in a good mood because of her periods.She came to his mansion and started her work.

Rakshan chatted with her for a while and left the room.There he saw Arjun was standing with a glass infront of the room.

'Deii.. Avaluku chocolate milk na romba pudiku..idha ava kitta kudukuriyaa?',Arjun asked.

'Naan yen ponum?Neeye po..Un aalu dhana',Rakshan said purposefully.Because he always wanted them be together,he thought Thara should be aware of his love and caring,so he said to give the milk by himself.

'Dei..Naa epdi da...',Arjun dragged.

'Po machan..Neeye kudu',Rakshan said and moved from there.

He shook his head and knocked the door.

'Come in!',she replied and he went in.

'Ah...Thara you must be tired!!Ahh..idha kudinga',Arjun said.

'Illa paravalla venaam...',she replied.

'Illa please..Idha konjam kudingalen',Arjun said and Thara was already in her mood swings.

'I said I don't want!',she said firmly.

'Okay..Naan inga vekkiren.. Ungaluku venumnaa kudichukonga..',he said and she immediately pushed the glass from his hands.

The glass fell down and broke into pieces.She immediately regretted for her actions.

Rakshan came in hearing the sound and looked at them.

'Dei..kitta varaadha da..Kaal la kuthidum', Arjun said and picked the glass pieces in his hands.

'Im...Im sorry I didn't mean to do this...',Thara said and stood up but Arjun motioned to her to stop.

'Nadakaadheenga...the glass pieces may hurt you...',he said and picked the glass pieces.

'Dei loosu.. Un kaila patra podhu da..',Rakshan said but Arjun doesn't reply anything.

As he said,a glass piece pricked Arjun's hand and blood oozing from his finger.

'Heyy..Blood!',Thara shouted and tears brimmed in her eyes.

He plucked the glass piece from his finger with an emotionless face.He didn't even hiss in pain.

He pick all the glass pieces and safely put it inside the dustbin and asked a maid to mop the floor.

'Im sorryy Arjun..Naa venumnu pannala..',Thara apologized.

He just nodded and left from there.Rakshan shook his head and followed Arjun.

Thara felt very bad for her behaviour.Eventhough she didn't mean that but,she hurted Arjun!Her mind rewinded the incident,that happened.Tears flowed on her cheeks,she wiped her tears and decided to apologise him later.She tried to concentrate on her work,but she couldn't.

'Cha ipdi panitiye Thara...',she sighed.

Arjun went near the sink and washed his hands.

'Paithiyam ah da unaku???Endha madasaambraani aavadhu kaila edupaana odanja kannadi ya?Ipo paaru un kaila evlo ratham varudhu',Rakshan shouted.

'Idhella enakenna pudhusa..Poi velaiya paaru da..',Arjun said calmly.

'Deii psycho maari pannadha da..Ava dhan unna avlo hurt panraannu theriyudhulla...Innum yenda ipdi panra...Neeyu hurt aagi avalum hurt aagi..Sabhha thevaiyaa da ungaluku idhu',Rakshan said.

'Thappu pannavan naan..avala naan hurt pannadha vida idhu onnum perusu illa..', Arjun replied.

'Idho paaru...Romba pesaadha solte!',Rakshan shouted.

'Dei ava yen ipdi behave pannaanu enaku theriyum..Ava summalam ipdi yaaraiyu hurt panna maata,avaluku pudikaadhavangalaave irundhaalum..She is not in a good mood!That may because of her periods!',Arjun said and Rakshan's eyes widened.

'Unaku epdi theriyum?Ava sonnaala?',Rakshan asked and Arjun shook his head.

'Avala pathi enaku theriyaadha...Ava mogatha paathale I can understand what she was going through',Arjun said and Rakshan shook his head in disbelief.

'Dei ivlo love panra..Epdi da avala pakkathulaye vechutu nee thalli iruka?', Rakshan asked and Arjun let out a painful chuckle.

'Ava enna nambuna..Aana avaluku theva padra nerathula ava kooda naan illa..I deserve this da,ava enna mannichu yethukura varaikum..Naan ipdiye wait pannuven!', Arjun said and Rakshan hugged him.

After few hours,Thara finished his outfit.

It was a purple shirt with small circle patterns with black jeans.

She informed Rakshan that she did it and Rakshan informed Arjun.

Arjun went in and Thara asked him to try the outfit.

He wore the shirt and it was perfectly suited him.

'Ungaluku pudichuruka?',Thara asked.

'Yes', Arjun replied.

She noticed the bandage in Arjun's finger.She felt literally bad.

'Ahmm...Im sorry ennaala dhana unga kaila...',she was about to say but Arjun stopped her.

'Ethana sorry solluveenga.. It's okay..By mistake dhaana..Unga work dhan mudinjudhula..I know you are not well,so veetuku poi rest edunga..', Arjun said.

It made her heart warm.After years,still he can understand what she was going through..

She nodded and muttered a thanks.She left from there and went to her home.

Arjun smiled and continued his chores.

The next day, Arjun and his movie crew was invited for the interview..As it was a live interview, everyone was eagerly waiting for the interview to be telecasted.

As it was sunday,Sakthi was in Thara's home.

Sakthi switched on the tv and he noticed the interview.

'Thalaivii inga paarunga.. Arjun brother oda interview!!',Sakthi shouted and asked her to join.

She nodded and sat with him.

The interview started, and the host welcomed them.

Thara looked at him.He was wearing the purple shirt that she designed.She silently smirked and continued watching the interview.

Soon the interview started and the host started asking questions.

'Sollunga Arjun,neenga nadicha ella movies layu love ku oru important scope iruke..Adhu yen?',the host asked and Arjun chuckled.

'Because,I love LOVE!',Arjun replied.

'So apo Arjun kandippa love pannirukeenga',host asked and Arjun's breath hitched,no one noticed this but Thara.

Her face immediately changed when she saw Arjun's expression.

'Yes,kandippa ellaru life layum love apdingra vishayam atleast once cross aayirukum..So enakum apdi dhan..',he said with a smile.

Thara could feel the pain behind his smile.Tears brimmed in her eyes but she blinked and controlled herself.

'So then Arjun...Are you still in love?',the host asked and everyone was eagerly waiting for his answer when these two hearts filled with an immense pain.

What Arjun gonna answer?
