Days rolled and it was a day before the event.Sakthi and Thara got ready and reached Arjun's mansion.

Everyone was ready to go to Airport.

'Enna maapla?Apo ella kelambuvoma?',Pugazh asked.

'Wait da,', Arjun said dialed to someone.

'Meenuu kuttyyy', Arjun called her in an excited tone.

'Arjun Kanna...enna pa kelambeetiya?',Meenakshi asked.

'Po meenu kuttyy..Nee pesadha, enkooda varaama nee un oore gadhi nu irukka',Arjun pouted and Meenakshi chuckled.

Arjun's parents were divorced when Arjun was doing his highschool.His Grandmother Meenakshi was such a bundle of love and very supportive to both Arjun and Pavi.She pour lots of love on them without making them reminding about their parents.Arjun's Grandma was his and Pavi's guardian during their school days.

When Arjun completed his school he moved to Pondicherry with Pavi,as he got seat for BBA in scholarship in a college where his Grandma was living in a village near Coimbatore.They asked Meenakshi to come along with them,but she refused because of her sentiment.She is not ready to leave the house where she lived with her husband.

Now Arjun was living in Chennai with Rakshan and Pavi moved US with Pugazh, where Meenakshi was living in the same village.

'Inga naan irukanum la da kanna,nee poi award vaanguradha paati tv la paathu ellarukum sollanumla',Paati said with pride.

'Serii meenu kutty..oru virtual aasirvadham pannu enaku..', Arjun said.

'Nalla irupa da kanna..Aprom en Arjun kutty sandhosham ah irukella?', Meenakshi asked and Arjun let out a chuckle.

'Enakkenna meenu kutty, Happy ah iruken!Seri flight ku time aachu..I need to go Tata meenu kuttyy Love you!',he said.

'Love you too Kanna,paathu poitu va..',she said and hung up the call.

'Enna da pesitiya kelambalama?',Rakshan asked and Arjun nodded.

'Pavii,Thara,keela vaanga time aachu polaam',Pugazh shouted from the living room and they both got down.

Everyone finally checked their luggages and got inside the car.Pugazh sat on the driver seat and Pavi sat beside him.

Sakthi was sitting on one corner and Rakshan sat beside him,Arjun was next to him.

Thara came last as per Rakshan and Sakthi's plan.

'Thangam enaku edam illaa...',she said and looked at Pavi's seat.

Asusual,they were in their own world and she don't want disturb couple,she looked at Rakshan, but he was keeping a laptop on his lap and Sakthi was also doing something in his laptop.

'Naan enga ukkaaradhu?',Thara pouted.

'Achachooo..thangan unaku edam illayaa...Idho Arjun paaru free dhan irikaan..Avan madi la ukaandhuko',Rakshan said and concentrated in his laptop.

'Naan yepdi..dei Sakthi nee poi ukkaara',Thara said.

'Thalaivi... Enakum oru kutty vela iruku..Neenga poi ukaarunga',he said and she looked at Arjun.

'Yen da ipdi panreenga?', Arjun asked pinching Rakshan's thigh.

'Naanga ena da pannom,edam illa..',Rakshan said casually.

'Apo nee venumnu pannala apdi dhana?',Arjun whispered and Rakshan smiles sheepishly.

Arjun shook his head in disbelief.

'Naa venumna cab pudichu vandhare..Neengalam kelambunga..',Thara said which made Arjun hurt.

Her distance was making him weak second by second.

'Thangam adhukellam time illa...Nee takkunu vaa..'Rakshan said.Thara huffed and went to Arjun.

She looked at him and he was expressionless.

'Late aachu thangam..',Rakshan said and Thara sat on Arjun's lap.Her hair was tickling his face.Her scent was creating an Havoc inside his body,her closeness made his heart beating faster.

'Dei Pugazh uh...vandiya yeden da!', Rakshan said but Pugazh was not responding.He was busily sighting Pavi.

'Anneyy!',Thara called but she received only silence.

'Pugazh anna',Sakthi tapped his shoulder and he came to the real world.

'ahh.. airport vandhuruchaa da?',Pugazh asked.

'Yedhu airport vandhuruchaava?Nee vandi yedukkaama epdi da poradhu..yeduu polaamm',Rakshan said and Pugazh gave his usual reaction.

'Mavane indha reaction kudukura velaiya vittutu vandiya edu', Arjun said with playful anger.

'Idho edukkuren maapla...',Pugazh started the car.

'Anney ipdi drive pannumbodhu kanavu ulagathuku poi,engala ellam paralogathuku anupeeradheenga ney',Sakthi said and everyone chuckled.

'Dei thambi.. over ah pesaadha...aprom straight ah emologam dhan paathukoo',Pugazh said and continued driving.

Arjun's hot breath was continously hitting her neck which was making shiver travel to her spine.

Accidentally she hitted her forehead on the front seat when Pugazh applied the sudden break.

'Ahh...',Thara shouted and Arjun got panicked.

'Pugazh paathu drive panna maatiya?', Arjun roared and everyone became silent.

'Illala en mistake dhan,naan dhan edhayu grip ku pudikaama ukandhirundhen..Its fine!',she said composing his anger.

'Sorry papaa...Theriyaama dhan...road inga seri illa maapla',Pugazh said.

'Hmm',Arjun nodded.

Again she was about to hit her forehead,but Arjun pulled her by her waist tightly.

His only intention was to save her, she looked at him and he was only focusing to save her.

The road was literally very bad with a lots pits and stones.

His arms were around her waist,his touch made her heart beat so faster.

Then he realised,and took his arms quickly.

'Ahmm....sor.. sorryy..Naan..road uh..',he said scratching his eyebrow.

'Hmm',she simply nodded.

They reached the airport and soon boarded on the flight and reached Delhi.

They reached the resort booked for the award winners and their families.

Separate room for everyone and a room for Pugazh and Pavi.

Everyone slept and waited for the big day!

Soon the day dawned,and everyone was waiting for Arjun and Thara at the corridor.

'Ennada avalayu kaano,avanaiyu kaanoo', Pugazh huffed.

'Vandhuruvanga da',Rakshan said.

Arjun entered in the outfit which Thara gave.He looked asusually handsome in the purple suit,his perfectly shaped long beard,made him more perfect.(The one he wore in CWC finale).

'Dei Kadhal manna!Purple la pragaasama vandhuruka',Pugazh teased and Arjun chuckled.

Arjun's eyes was constantly searching Thara..he also doesn't want to ask them directly.

'Dei kelambalama?Ellaru vandhaachu la',Arjun said.

'Iru da...Thangam innu varala..',Rakshan said.

'Adhaan theriyume..yen innu varala..',Arjun thought and his trance was broken by Pugazh.

'Idho papa vandhuruchu',Pugazh said and Arjun turned to look at her.

There she was coming like a purple puppet in her purple outfit.

She was woring a purple 3/4th cotton gown with white dots.

Arjun can't take his eyes from her,her fluffy long hair,her doe kohled eyes,her chubby cheeks,her quite long nose,her soft pink lips.. Everything was making his heart flutter.Soon Thara looked at Arjun they were making eye contact for more than 2 minutes.

'Helloo purple people..Polaama?',Pavi asked and they broke their trance.

'Heyy adhepdii..rendu perum purple?',Sakthi asked.

Thats when she remembered his outfit also purple.

'Coincidence da..'Thara said adjusting her hair.

'Seri seri polaam',Rakshan said not to make them more awkward and they reached Vigyan Bhavan.(That was the location where National award event was happening)

Arjun sat with other celebrities,where others sat on the seat alloted for family and friends.

Thara seems so anxious and her heartbeat was in high rate...

'Ennaachu thalaivi?',Sakthi asked.

'Enna?Onnu illa da...',she said.

'Apro yen ivlo nervous ah irukeenga?',he asked and she just shook her head.

She herself can't understand why she is this nervous..

She already knew the award was for him as everyone.But this was their dream..

Yes their dream,this place was their dream!!

She closed her eyes when they announced Arjun's name for best actor under Silver Lotus award!

Happy tears were rolling down through her cheeks unknowingly.

She gave him a standing ovation.Her legs automatically stood up without her permission.

She felt proud seeing him receiving the award from the President of India!

Even though everyone was shedding happy tears!He looked at his family shedding family tears for him..He too chuckled in tears.Everyone congratulated him and he got down.

Both felt to hug eachother,she wants to kiss his whole face and he wants to hold her in his embrace.Both looked at eachother,but she stopped herself from looking at him.

She awarted her gaze,and looked somewhere.Arjun can't enjoy his happiness,he felt more hurt when she awarted her gaze from him.He managed himself and sat on his seat.He wiped his tears, where here Thara too wiping her tears.

'Yen Thara..indha second,indha moment kaaga namma evlo aasai pattom...But why did you leave me all alone?Unkitta ippove odi vandhu unna katti pudikanumnu aasaiya iruku...But I know I can't do anything..',he thought and his heart was in an immense ache.

'Arjun ey...this is our dream moment Arjun eyy..I want to hug you tightly,I want to kiss your face,aana ipdi edhume panna mudiyaama panitiye Arjun ey..', here she too thought and wiped her tears.

Both were thinking about eachother but not exposing...

Soon the event over and media crowded around Arjun.

'Arjun..you have received the National award for best actor in such a young age!Share your feelings!',a reporter asked.

'Feeling overwhelmed by all your love and support..And I dedicate this award to my people,they are the one who was supporting me constantly and boosting me to work hard.

And this is our dream..This place,this moment was very surreal!And I want to thank a special person here,

That person was the major reason,for my success... without that person I'm not here!!So All I want to say is...

A biggest Thank you for that most special person!Thank you!!',he said with tears.

Thara knew he was speaking about her and tears were rolling down from her eyes!

She ran away from there and went behind the stadium.

She cried and cried her heart out.

'En mela ivlo love vechukitu...yen ipdi enna vittutu dhooram ah odeete iruka Thara?',she heard Arjun's voice from behind.

'Ar..Arjun...!',she turned and wiped her tears.

'Naan poganu...',she was about to move and Arjun stopped her.

'Unkitta onnu kekkanum..', Arjun said and she stopped.

What is Arjun going to ask her?
