She opened her eyes hearing the chirping of birds.She woke up from the bed with a yawn and looked at him.She felt cold and chill when she stepped on the floor.

'Enna ivlo chill nu iruku',she thought and looked at him.

She felt so bad seeing him lying on the floor,by wrapping his arms around himself not facing her,she found red marks on his hands because of the hard floor.

'Cha enna Thara nee ipdi pannirukaa..enna dhan irundhaalum paavam epdi keela thoongirupaan..',she cursed herself for behaving mad with him and let him to sleep on the floor.

'Blanket kooda illama thoonguraan..',she sighed.

'Yeluppalamaa?..',she thought and he tossed and faced her.

She chuckled at his baby face.

She went near him and sat beside him.

'Naan romba hurt panniten la unna...unna hurt pannumbodhellam I'm the one who is getting more hurt while doing that,Naan romba strong nu, na break aayida koodadhunu romba selfish ah irundhu ovarudhadaviyum unna hurt pannite..Im trying to stay away from you, but you know its always hard to do that..adhaan naan unna paakumbodhella kathuren,unna hurt panra maadhiri nadandhukuren..Aana nee yen porumaiyave iruka naan panradhukellam...aniku nadandhadhu...naan adha pathi unta kekkava vendaama?Yen da enna vittutu pona nu un sattai ya pudichu un kanna paathu kekkanum pola iruku...',and tears touched her hand that's when she realised she was crying actually.

She quickly wiped her tears and continued..

'Situation varum Arjun ey.. I'll make everything clear..ipodhan ellam aadi onjiruku.. I'm gonna be there for you for your entire lifetime..Aana let's move everything slowly..en manasula irukura kolappam ellaam clear aanadhum...indha 6 varsham naan elandha andha kadhal ah unkitta irundhu yeduthupen..nee indha 6 varsham elandha kadhal ah yen..adha vida adhigam ahve naan unaku kudupennn..',she said with a smirk and saw his sleeping face.

He rubbed his arms with his hands because of chillness.

She quickly got up from there and looked at the clock.It was just 05.30am,she took a blanket and covered him.He snuggled into the blanket and she chuckled at him.

She leaned to him and caressed her hair.She kissed his forehead and muttered 'Sorry'.

She got up from him and went to refresh herself.She took her shower and changed into a simple kurti and jean.She sat on the bed and started scrolling her mobile.

Time rolled and Arjun woke up from his sleep.He found himself under the blanket.

He rubbed his eyes and sat stretching his arms.

He saw her sitting on the bed,he stood up and folded his blanket, that's when she noticed him.

'Yelundhutiya?',she asked him.

'Hmm..ipodhan',he replied with a smile.

Thara's heart filled with guilt for hurting him,she forgot all the hurt and sufferings when she was all alone in these six years.Yes eventhough he hurted him in her point of view,she was not clear that he cheated her or not,but he left her alone when she needed him more.Her heart became heavy seeing the red marks all over his exposed skin.Her rude shell broked out seeing him hurt.

'Sorry Arjun..I shouldn't have shouted at you and should not have let you to sleep on this chill floor..',she said and guilt were written all over her face.

'But you are the one suffered a lot right?Appovu ippavu ennaala...',she felt the same guilt on his face which she was going through.

'Palasa pathi edhuvu pesaadha Arjun..its past and I'm trying to move on,idhu nammaloda new life.. palaiya maadhiri namma maaruvoma nu therila but..I try my best to not to hurt you..',she said.

He felt both sadness and happiness inside his heart.His guilt increased more,he knew she never hurted him from her heart..but he was little happy to see Thara talking with him atleast normally..

'Nee divorce ellam kekka maatila?',she asked and he looked at her with a confused face.

'Huh?'

'Dont dare to ask divorce..you know me well that I has little hope in this centiments...enna vittutella marubadiyum poga try pannadha..',she said but still pouting.

She was not at all angry with him,but she was hurt,she was hurt that he left her alone,she was disappointed for making her trust on him go wrong,she suffered alot being alone in all new city.

You know that a girl being alone is not so easy in this crucial society.

Her sufferings and sorrows are the one which made her pretended to be rude outside.

'I'll never make such a mistake again!',he replied.

'Hmmm..',she replied.

'Hope I'll win your trust again Thara..',he said.

'Then make your move Mr.Arjun Prathap..and I need sometime, afterall we are gonna stay together under a roof..paapom',she replied.

'Paaka dhana pora..',he smiled.

'Seri go and fresh up..we should leave today',Thara said.

'Hmm',he nodded and went inside the washroom.

He felt a huge relief in his heart seeing the change in her,he could see him old Thara coming back to him.

Thara who was still confused about what she blurted out.She could feel she was forgiving Arjun a little by little and she also need this.

'Time heals!',she thought and smiled.

She sat and continued scrolling her mobile.She chuckled seeing the fan pages and edits created for them.

Soon they went out from the room after getting ready for breakfast.

Everyone was in the dining table and having the breakfast.They both went together even they woke up in different time,so that Meenakshi can't suspect them.

'Sorry paati..thoongitom adhan late aayiduchu',Thara said.

'Its okay da..you both will be tired ofcourse', Meenakshi said.

Arjun choked his food while everyone has a teasing smile on their faces and Thara looked at him awkwardly for saying this.

She passed him the water and he drank it.

'Thanks',he said.

'Sapdu',she smiled.

'Seri Arjun apo namma kelambalama?', Rakshan asked.

'Hmm polaam da..',Arjun said.

'Paati neengalum varalam la enga kooda..why are you staying here alone?',Thara asked.

'Naan yenga thaniya iruka poren?Pavi and Pugazh enkooda dhan iruka poraanga..', Meenakshi said.

'Yen?',Arjun asked.

'Illa da Pavi pregnant ah irukaa..periyavanga yaaravadhu kooda irundha nalla irukum la..adhuvum Pavi dhan inga irukanumnu aasai padra..',Pugazh said.

'Unga veetla sollitiya Pugazh?',Rakshan asked.

'Solliten da..amma vu appa vu vandhu paakurenu sonnanga.. may be naaliku varuvaanga..thangachi kum anga delivery date kitta vandhuruchu la adhaan naaliku varuvaanga',Pugazh said.

'Seri apo namma kelambalam..',Arjun said.

They finished their breakfast and about to leave.

'Oru nimisham..Thara Arjun inga vaanga', Meenakshi asked.

She saw them with happy eyes and cracked her knuckles.

'Yaaru kannum patrakoodadhu..bathrama ponga', Meenakshi said and they got blessings from her.

They took their luggages and left from Coimbatore bidding bye to them.

Rakshan was driving and Sakthi was sitting beside him.Both Arjun and Thara was on the backseat.

After a while, Arjun looked at her and saw her she was sleeping leaning on the window uncomfortably.

Arjun hesitated for a minute,but seeing her discomfortness,he moved closer to her,he held her shoulders and made her straight but she fell on his shoulders.

Arjun was taken aback by her sudden actions,but composed himself.

'Naanga yedhuvum paakala ney',Sakthi teased.

'Deii',Arjun glared made Sakthi gulp.

After a long nap,Thara woke up and felt a warmth which she missed so much in the six years.

Arjun was sleeping by wrapped his arms around her protectively.Her mind crossed their old memories,she blushed thinking of them.She tried to got out from his hold, but it was so tight.

And again she tried,but this time he woke up.Soon he realised their position and Arjun moved quickly.

'Sorry naan.. thoongiten..',Arjun said looking away.

'Its okay..naanu un melaye thoongiten..valikudhaa?',she asked.

'Ilalla',he replied and threw a smile on eachother.

'Namma sethuvekkalam nu nenachom..paravalla idhungale sendhurum pola', Rakshan sighed in relief who was sitting in the passenger seat and Sakthi who was driving smiled at them.

They had their lunch on the way and Arjun drove for a while and finally they reached Chennai at 07.00pm.

They dropped Sakthi at his appartment and they went to Arjun's mansion.

'Rakshan anna naanu',Thara asked Rakshan who was driving, forgetting about that she was married.

'Thangam..namma ipo Arjun veetuku dhana poganum',Rakshan asked and she remembered the fact.

'En things lam?',she asked.

'Nalaiku eduthukalam ma..ipo veetuku poi rest yedukkalam..', Rakshan said and they reached Arjun's mansion.

Everyone went inside and Thara threw herself on the couch.

'Yedhavadhu sapdriya?', Arjun asked.

'Illa aprom sapdlam',Thara replied.

'Hmm..',Arjun too sat on the couch for a while and Rakshan came out with the luggage.

'Yenga da pora?',Arjun asked noticing him.

Rakshan was actually staying with Arjun,from the day Arjun was undergoing treatment.He decided to leave for giving privacy to them.

'Illa macha..en appartment ku poren',Rakshan said.

'Yen da?ithana naalu inga dhana irundha?',Arjun asked.

'Aama na?Yen poreenga?',Thara asked.

'Idhungaluku unmailaye kalyanam aanadhu nyabagam irukaa?',Rakshan thought.

'Illa da..naanu ithana naala vettiya andha appartment ku rent pay pantu iruken..nee thaniya irundha apo,ipo dhan thangam irukaala naan kelamburen',Rakshan said.

'Naa vandha naala poreengala?',Thara asked with a sad face.

'Apdi illa thangam..apo ivan thaniya irundhaanu naan koodave irundhe..ipo nee irukella..naan kelamburen',Rakshan replied.

'Dei atleast kaalaila kelambu da..', Arjun said.

'Illa da kelamburen naanu.. enakennamo en veetuku ponum polaiye iruku..',Rakshan said.

After several attempts,the duo agreed Rakshan to leave.

Soon he left now both Arjun and Thara was alone.

'Maids yaarum illa?',Thara asked.

'Illa naaliku varuvaanga',Arjun said.

'Seri nee poi fresh aagitu thoongu,adhaan Rakshan room gaaliya iruku la..You can stay there',Arjun said and Thara nodded.

Both Arjun and Thara left to eachother's room with somewhat relief in their heart!

Will this relief last long?
