Sunrays slowly kissed Thara's face and she hardly opened her eyes.Her eyes were burning due to lack of sleep.She somehow opened her eyes and saw Arjun who was still sleeping.

She weakly smiled at him and looked around the room.

His room was filled by their old photographs.She stood up from the bed and walked around his room.She caressed the photos with a smile and those nostalgic memories hit her.Her trance was broken by a sound.

She heard a sound and turned to him.He looked so weak and he was trying to get up.She ran to him and she held his hand and he looked at her cluelessly.

'Washroom dhana ponum,Naan help panren..',she said and he slowly get removed from her hold.

'Illa..paravalla..',he said.

'Ila vaa naan help panren..',she said and was about to hold him.

'Illa..no problem,naan paathukuren..',he said and got up from the bed.

But he was so weak to get up.He was about to fall and she held him.

'Naan dha help panrennu solren la..',she said and he just nodded.

Thara put her arms around him and Arjun wrapped her shoulders.

She managed somehow to made him walk towards the washroom.

Arjun started feeling dizzy and he felt a vomiting sensation.

'Ennaachu Arjun?',she asked and before could speak he threw up everything.

Thara was patting Arjun's back,his knees gone weak and he was about to fall.She held him tightly and made him lay on the bed.

She quickly got up from him and cleaned the floor.She went down to the kitchen and boiled some water for him.

She went to his room and saw him,he was sitting on the bed.

She went near him and gave the glass of water.

'Indha kudi..',she gave it and went down again.

Then she came up with a aluminium pot full of hot water and a piece of cloth.

She placed it near his bed and went to his wardrobe.She took one of his casual tee and sat near him.She unbuttoned his shirt and he stopped her.

'Enna panra Thara?Vidu naa paathukure..',he said and she placed his finger in his lips.

She just shook her head and unbuttoned his shirt.She removed his vest and she dipped the cloth in the hot water.

Thara wiped his upper body with that cloth and made him wear his tee.

'Nee iru,naan vandhare..',she said and he stopped her by holding her hand.

'Ennaachu?',he asked and she looked at him.

'Nee guilty ah feel panni idhellam panna venaam Thara,Its not your mistake..',he said and she felt thousands of arrows piercing her heart.

She threw a smile at him and dialed Pugazh.

'Sollu ma..enna aachu?',Pugazh asked.

'Anna..konjam inga Arjun room ku vareengala?',she asked.

'Ennaachu papa?',Pugazh asked.

'Vaanga ney solren..',Thara said and hung up the call.

She stood near Arjun and that's when he noticed something in her cheek.

'Ennaachu Thara..',he asked by touching her cheek.Her cheek was red and finger print was well visible.

'Onnu illa Arjun..',she said.

'Illa..enamo iruku..', he said and Pugazh entered the room.

'Enaachu?',Pugazh asked and came near.

'Arjun...vomit pannitaan ney and he also looks so weak,doctor ta kooptu polaam..',she said.

'Doctor lam venaam macha,Im okay',he said.

'Dei nee summa iru,naan Rakshan na vara solren.. avakitta dhana un personal doctor number iruku..',Pugazh said and dialed Rakshan and informed.

'Ennaachu maapla?',he asked caressing Arjun's hair.

'Onnu illa da..',he said with a faint smile.

'Anna Pavi enga?',she asked.

'Thoongura papa..',',he said and looked around his room.He noticed the broken mirror.

'Enna nadandhuchu?', Pugazh asked.

'Neraya nadandhuchu ney..',Thara said with a smirk.

Then Rakshan and Sakthi came with the doctor.

Rakshan felt so bad that he behaved so angry with Thara and he also slapped her.His finger prints are still visible in her cheek.Doctor checked Arjun.

'Ivaru power jaasthi ulla medicines edukuraau...that's was the reason for his weakness.So please romba dose irukura medicines yeduthukaadheenga Arjun..idhukum mela neenga continue panneenganna,unga nerves affect aaga aarambichurum..so be careful while taking your medicines..Rest edunga, I'll suggest some home made remedies for his condition now,adhu kudunga,Mrs.Arjun paathukonga..',Doctor said and called both Rakshan and Thara out.

'Avara careful ah paathukonga..', Doctor said and suggested some home made remedies.Soon Rakshan went to send off the doctor and came back to Thara.

Rakshan touched her cheek and she gasped in pain.

'Sorry thangam..naan edho kovathulayu,vegathulayu apdi panniten..',he said and she shook her head.

'Neenga pannadhu thappu illa thangam,I deserve that..naan panna thappu naala dhana ellame,aana andha nelamai la enaku enna panradhunu therila..

Naan apo romba kolambi poirundhe,suthi aalunga,enna panradhunu onnume purila..pressure,bayam ellam serndhu apdi oru situation la enna apdi nenaika vechuruchu..Naanu veetla Arjun kaga sanda potenn ney,en Arjun apdi panna maatan nu,aana en situation enna apdilam yosika vechuruchu..

I'm not saying this to justify my side,I should've been talked about this to him,en thappu dhaan..',she teard up and Rakshan pulled into hug.

'Sorry thangam..un side la yosikaama naan yedhedho pesiten unna..avan patta kashtatha naa nerla paathen..andha kovam dha.. I'm sorry ',he said and Pavi came there.

'What happened?',she asked and they just looked eachother.

'She knew about Arjun..', Rakshan said.

'Im sorry Thara, enakum idhu theriyum..unkitta anna dha sollakoodadhu nu sollitaaru..',Pavi said and Thara hugged her.

'Im sorry di,ennaala dha un anna ivlo kashtapadraaru..'Thara said.

'Yes,unaala dhan..aana ipo nee dhana adha seri pannanu,andha velaiya paaru enna?',Pavi asked with a smile and Thara nodded.

They went inside and Pugazh eyes as what happened and Rakshan blinked his eyes.Pavi hugged her brother and asked about his health.Geetha ma came there.

'Enna aachu Thambi?Yen ellaru innum keela varala?',Geetha ma asked.

'Onnum illa ma,unga paiyan ku konjam odambu seri illa..', Thara said.

'Ayoo ennaachu?',Geetha ma rushed to him touched his forehead to check the temperature.

'Onnu illa ma, I'm alright.',Arjun smiled.

'Yedhavadhu venumna sollunga..kashayam edhavadhu potu thare..',Geetha ma said.

'Hmm ma, doctor konjam suggest pannirukaaru..',Thara said.

'Seri naan sapda edhavadhu eduthutu varen..Neengalam keela vaanga..',Geetha ma said and went down, everyone went down following her.

Sakthi stopped there and looked at Thara.

'Sorry Thalaivi.. enakum ellam therinjum unga kitta marachiten',Sakthi said and Thara ruffled his hair.

'Adhella onnu illa da..vaa', Thara said and Sakthi nodded.

Thara asked Arjun too lay down and went with Sakthi.

Then Thara again went to his room with his breakfast and the homemade remedy.

But Arjun was sleeping again on the bed.

In the whole night,they both didn't sleep well.Arjun was mumbling and Thara was consoling him.

She went near the sleeping Arjun, and kept the breakfast and the remedy on the table.

The guilt inside her reached its peak.She felt angry on herself for doing this to him.

She rushed to the washroom and sat under the shower.Her tears washed away by the force of water.

She was sitting by hugging her knees.

'Thara..',she heard a voice and it was none other than Arjun.

'Enna panra paithiyam ah nee...?fever vandhurum',he went near her and stopped the shower.

He knelt down facing her and cupped her face.She pulled him into a hug and cried her heart out.

'Enna ma?',he asked.

'Im sorryyy...Im sorry...thappu en mela dhan Arjun ey..Im sorry ennaala dhana nee ivlo kashtapadra...',she said sobbing.

The tears and emotions she was holding was now came out breaking the walls.

'Nee enna ma panna?Naa dhan unna thaniya vittuten..',he said and she broke the hug gently.

'Illa Arjun ey..naan dhaa unna thappa purinjukiten..naan nee enmela...naan..',she sobbed again.

'Onnuilla ma,sollu ennaachu?',he asked.

'Naan dhan..(she said what happened and the conclusion she came to)

'Naan dhan Arjun...naan konjam porumaiya yosichurundhaa...Sorry Arjun ey...',she sobbed badly and he wiped her tears.

'Inga paaru Thara..',he said and she was still facing the ground.

'Enna paaru nu sonne..paaru Munchkin..',he said and she looked into his with her red puffy eyes.

'Idho paaru..un mela endha thappume illa ma,namma situation apdi amanjiruchu..nee padhatathula vera enna nenaipa sollu..ennaala unna purinjuka mudiyudhu di..',he said and guilt pricked her heart.

'Yepdi nee ipdi iruka?Naan unna evlo kashtapadutheeten,aana innum naan edhum sollamaye ena purijukura, enaku ivlo love kudukura?Yen Arjun ey?',she asked and he smiled.

'I love you Munchkin...andha oru reason podhaadha?',he asked and guilt ridden all over her.

'Illa naan dhan thappu panniruken..Please Arjun enna mannichuru,aana I deserve punishment..Enna adi,thittu enna punishment venaa kudu..Ill accept it..',she said wiping her tears.

'Seri rendu perum thappu dhan..vaa oru punishment iruku..',he said and made her stood up.They walked to out from the washroom.

'En kaadha pidi!',he said and she looked at him cluelessly.

'Solradha sei ma..',he said and she held his ears and he held her's.

'Apdiye oru 10 sit ups rendu perume podlam vaa..sorry sollite..',he said and she chuckled at him.

'Sorry..',they both chorused and put ten sit ups together.

'Idhu en punishment..ipo nee edhavadhu punishment kudu..',he said and she crashed her lips on his.

He was taken aback by her sudden actions but he too cooperated.

She broke the kiss and muttered a sorry!

He cupped her face and rested his forehead on her's.

'I love you Munchkin..',he said.

'I love you too Arjun ey..',she said and he chuckled in tears.

'Evlo naal aachu la idha ketu...',he said and she nodded.

'Inime nee endha kashtamum pada maata Arjun ey...I won't allow you to suffer.. we'll retain the 6 years back that we lost Arjun eyy..',she said and he kissed her cheek.

'Inime no sorries or worries or guilts, let's be happy Munchkin..just like our old days..',he said and she nodded.

He kissed her forehead and she looked into him.She placed kisses all over his face.

'I missed this kisses,I missed your warmth,I missed you amma..',she said and tears rolled down from his eyes.

'I missed you too Munchkin..',he kissed both of her eyes.

Finally they both re-united in love!♥️
