Next day Sadhana woke up with swollen eyes and with severe headache as if someone is banging on her head. She refreshed herself and went down. She pretend to be casual in front of her inlaws.

'Sadhu ma..naanga inniki oru weddingku porom.. neeyum variya?' Her mother-in-law asked.

'Illa athai...Enakku konjam head ache ah irukku..Naan varala..Naan veetliye iruken' she said as she was not in the mood to go out anywhere.

'Athuthaan moonji vaadi poi irukku. Seri da..naan coffee pottu tharen.. Break fast ready panniten. sapdu konja neram thoongu..Athukulla naanga vanthuduvom' she said to her for which she nodded with a slight smile.

After having her breakfast she was sitting in her balcony. she got call from Arjun. Her face instantly brightened. But thinking on the situation within a fraction of a second her face turned pale.

'No Sadhu..Don't ever develop your feelings for him. He doesn't have any feeling for you. He is holding someone else in his heart and you are not the right person for him' thinking that she picked his call.

'Hello..Sadhana?' Arjun spoke to her. His intense voice made her heart.

'Please Arjun..please don't do this..I am trying to be distant from you. Please don't make it hard for me' her heart screamed.

'Hello..Arjun..'she talked back normally.

'Naan London reach ayiten. Ippo thaan hotel Check-in paniten. Athu thaan call pannen' he told her.

'Oh good..ungalukku anga ellam ok thaane...entha problem illala?' she asked with a care in her voice.

'yeah enakku onnum illa... Am all ok. Just konjam tired ah irukku' he replied.

'Oh..ok..then have your food and get some sleep' she replied him.

'Nee..ippo amma appa kooda irukae nu Prakash sonnan..Amma appa kitta sollidu..will call them later' he said.

There was a complete silence in both the ends. Sadhana was the first to break the silence.

'Ok Arjun..Neenga rest edunga..You are already tired. aparam pesalam' she said and he hummed in response. the call got disconnected.

Our conversations became too formal now arjuneyy..will it be like this forever? I am trying to be detached from everyone. But I couldn't do it. Someday or other I need to leave this place as I am not the right person for you. Edhuvume pazhaiya padi irukathu..naanum irukamaaten arjuney..she thought to herself and fresh tears fell from her eyes.

She was silent throughout the day and gave silly reason to her in-laws for her behaviour. She had some chitchatting with her inlaws by the time her mom called her.

'Enna amma...Ippo than un ponnoda nyabagam vanthucha..Un ponnu enga irukka..enna panra ethachum kekariya?' she asked her mother.

'endi..Un nyabagam vantha thaan call pannanuma..Athuvum illama..Anga unga mamiyar veetla iruke..Avanga unna nalla pathupaanganu theriyum..Aparam naanga yen kavala padanum.. we know you will be happy there. nee thaan un inlawssa paduthama irukanum' her mother said with much confidence.

After the usual chatings, Her mom asked about Arjun 'Enna di sudden ah silent ayite..' her mother asked her.

A lump formed in Sadhana's throat. She started to cry. 'Enna achu Sadhu? yen azhara?' her mother panicked.

'Onnum illa ma..I miss you and appa' she said between the sobs.

'Avlo thaane..even we both miss you chellam..Ippo enna..konja naal inga vanthu iru da.'she said.

'Illa ma...inga enakku konjam Vela irukku..naan adha paakanum..yenna..atha ennala thati kazhuka mudiyathu she said thinking about something. Naan Arjun vanthathuku aparam rendu perum varom..athunthaan correctah irukkum.' she somewhat convinced her mother.

After the usual talk, she cut the call. 'I have to do something to clear this mess in both of our lives. This cannot be prolonged for long. By the time Arjun is back to Chennai I have to sort this confusion..athu enga rendu perukume nallathu...' she told herself.

In the evening, Prakash and Roshan came to meet Sadhana in Arjun's house.

'Papa/Thangam' Prakash & roshan entered in the house.

'Anney' she called by seeing them.

'Vaangada.. Ippo thaan inga vara vazhi therinjitha?' Vishwanath asked them.

'Athu epdinga avanga varuvaanga..Avanga friend inga irukara varaikum vanthanga..Avan vera veedu pona aparam..Amma appa laam ivanga kannuku theriyuma enna..'Vasanthi added for her share.

'Ennoda thaaya naan maraka mudiyma'? Amma..Ungalukku nyabagam irukka? Neenga Samachitu irupinga..Thideernu..chutney araika Thenga irukathu. Appo Prakashnu neenga medhuva koopuvinga..Athu naan pathu kilometerla irukara enakku kekum..Unga veetuku naan Thengaoda odi varuven..Apdi patta enna paatha intha kelvi kekaringa.. Ithuku neenga enna orediya konnudalaam ma..Konnudalaam' he perfectly put an Shivaji's act in front of his parents.

Sadhana couldn't control her laugh.

'Oii..Thongachi..Sirichi maati vidathadi..Performance panna vidu'. he told sadhana.

'Dei..Yen varalanu thaane ketom..Athuku..Edhku da..Ivlo periya acting..Nee edhula vena Sothapuva..Aana intha nadipula mattum sothapave maata' Vishwanath told him for which he gave a proud look.

'Intha maari edhavathu panni..Apadiye cool pannidu badava' Vasanthi screwed his ears.

'Dei Roshan..Ivan thaan edhavathu olaritu irukaan..nee unmaiya sollu..en da ivlo naala intha pakkame varala?' vasanthi asked Roshan.

'Athu yen ma kekaringa..Intha Arjun paiyan londonku ponathu lenthu..avanoda velaiya naanga thaan paakara maari irukku..Romba hectic ah irukku ma..Athu thaan ippo thangam inga iruka illa..Athu thaan unga ellaraiyum paathutu polaamnu vanthom' he told vasanthi.

'Seri neenga varuvinganu Sadhu sonna..Athu thaan en pasangalukku pudicha items ah panni iruken..Night dinner saaptu thaan ponum' Vasanthi strictly ordered.

They both felt overwhelmed hearing Arjun's mother said. They are both really blessed to get such a friend and family and of course cute and adorable sister.

Sadhana, Roshan & prakash moved to the terrace after their dinner. After a deep silence among the three, Sadhana confronted both her brothers.

'Arjun love panna ponnu yaaru anney?'
