Sadhana's sleep was far that night. She was tossing on the bed all the night and she was not aware when she dozed off. Chirping of birds showed that it had dawned. But she couldn't open her eyes. She was in deep sleep.

She suddenly felt a soft thing being tickled on her feet. she rubbed her legs in her sleep and continued with her sleep. she felt the same tickling sensation on her arms. she annoyed again rubbed her arms and continued her sleep. She now felt the soft trace on her face. She immediately opened her eyes by rubbing with her palm to find Arjun lying beside her by resting his head with his left palm and twisting the peacock feather on the other hand with a smirking smile playing on his lips. He raised his eye brows with a smile. Sadhana was shocked to see him next to her that too this morning. She jerked and sat on the bed.

'Ne..Neenga..Inga..epdi? Epdi vanthinga?' She stuttered very badly.

He chuckled looking at her face. He slowly came near her and moved the hair strands back to her earlobe.

'Neethana sonna..Naan vantha enakku treatment kudukarenu..Athu thaan naan paranthu vanthuten' he said to her by showing his fingers referring the way of flying through his intense voice. Her heart fluttered looking at him at this close proximity, his intense look and above all his damn base voice.

'Enna..Naan ready..' he told her seeing into her eyes.

'athu..dha..bha..athu..athellam onnu illa...Neenga ennavo olaringa..naan apdilaam sollala..naa..naa..poren..' she stuttered and tried to move from the bed. He immediately grabbed her wrist and without any warning he took her petals in his.

'Aiyo..Murugaaaaaaa..' Sadhana jerked and woke up from the bed by closing her mouth with the palms. Her eyes roamed the entire room and she couldn't find anyone. She bent to see beneath the cot to find the person whom she is searching for. She didn't find anyone.

'Cha.Kanava' She sighed in relief.

'Kanava irunthalum..felt it is so real..Yen enakku ipdi lam kanavu varuthu' she told herself with a blush.

She took her mobile to see the time. But she saw a message notification. She opened to see the message from his very own valarntha kozhanthai.

'' she blushed looking at the message.

'This man is making my situation even more worst' she said with a blush.

After remencing the call that they spoke the previous day and the subsequent dream that she had this morning everything gave a jittery feeling and did something in her stomach. Her cheeks turned hue of pink that perfectly matched her pink PJ's. With the same smile and blush, she went to finish her morning chores.

She came back after a shower by wearing a pink kurti matched with white leggings. She wore a kutty pottu and when she was about to dry her hair, she received a call.

She took her mobile and immediately her face flushed in red.

'aiyo..enna inniki video call panraru?..nethu voice calliliye apdi pesnaaru...inniki ennalaam pesuvaaro..ippo epdi attend panrathu?' she asked.

'enna aanalum seri...un getha vidatha sadhu...nee periya rowdy..athu marakatha' she brought courage to attend the call. She swiped the call to attend it.

He was looking at the video and setting his hair. She jerked when she saw him wearing a white t shirt which she saw in her dream this morning in which he looked handsome to the peak and his beard was well trimmed. He had usual teasing smile on his face.

'pochu...sadhu..avara paakatha' she controlled from looking at him.

Though they spoke the previous day, this is the first time they are talking through video call that too after the feelings changed between them. She couldn't face him due to shy. But he couldn't take his eyes off her.

Her wet hair look, her flawless face, her eyeliner on her doe eyes made her look too gorgeous, water droplets that were on her forehead and her nupital thread that was hanging above her kurthi made his condition much worse for him.

'iva enna kollama vida maata pola iruke' he left a huge sigh.

He cleared his throat. She immediately looked at him.

'Sadhana ma' he called her.

'aiyo ivaru vera en nelama puriyama weakpointliye adikararu' she thought.

'Sollunga Arjun...enna morningey video call panni irukinga?' she managed to ask.

'yen...naan unakku call panna koodatha?' he asked huskily.

'ivaru en nilama therinji pesarara..illa venumne nadikarara' she blushed.

'illa..apdilaam onnum illa...ungalukku inniki flight irukkula...athuthaan pack pannitingala...time kammiya irukku illa..athuku thaan keten' she said him.

'packinglaam innum konja nerathula panniduven' Arjun said.

'nee..night nalla thoonginiya?' he asked her suddenly.

'naan enga thoongunen...nethu ivaru pesina pechu nenachi..bed pirandu pirandu..morning thaane thoonginen' she thought to herself.

'oi...enna think panra?' Arjun brought her out of trance.

'haan...naan nalla thaan thoonginen' she replied him.

'illa..kannulaam veengi irukku...oru Vela enna pathi nenaichitu...nee thoongama irunthiyonnu ketaen' he teased her.

'ah..dha...bha...apdilaam onnum illa....naan nalla thaan thoonginen' she said with utmost gethu tone.

'aama...aama...en shirtah nalla katti pudichitu thaan thoongi iruke' he smirked at her only then it hit her that she saw his shirt above the pillow which was in scrunched condition and she forgot to place his shirt back in the wardrobe. She closed her eyes in embarassment. She couldn't face him. But she has no other go other than either accepting or challenging against him. She chose to do the latter not knowing that it woould backfire her.

'ath..athu...Haan nethu thaan unga shirtah athai wash pannanga..athu kaaya pottu irunthen...athu marubadiyum...wardobela arrange panna maranthuten' she said a utter lie.

'ethu...already wash panni iron panna shirt...oru maasama use pannatha' shirtah marubadiyum nee wash panniruka...apdi thaane' he asked her with a teasing smile.

'aiyo...ipdi kevalama maatikitiye sadhu' she closed her eyes and cursed under breathe.

'pudichirukku' he said looking into her eyes. She jerked a little.

'intha maari blush panrathu enakku pudichi irukku' he said with a chuckle. Her cheeks were paining from continuous blush.

'itha...naan nerla paakanum...You have no idea of how hard it is forcing myself to stop thinking about you sometimes' he blurted out that was there in his mind. She was startled by the sudden confession.

'naanum ungalukkaga...wait pannitu irukken' she said with eyes of love and tears.

After a random teasings and blushing sessions, they disconnected the call.

She stood in front of the mirror and blushed looking at her reflection.

Arjun packed all his luggages for return. Sakthi helped Arjun in packing stuffs. Arjun was in cloudnine to meet his love. He got a special gift for sadhana. He was all the way smiling like an idiot.

'Bro...Neenga flightla pogamale chennai poi reach ayiduvinga pola?..Ippove paranthutu irukinga' Sakthi teased arjun.

Arjun grinned widely 'enakku ippove en sadhanava paakanum..I am waiting to meet her' he said dreamily.

'hmm..purithu purithu..unga kaalu ippo tharailiye illa'. Sakthi responded.

Atlast, he packed and he checked out the hotel. But all of a sudden he stopped his tracks.

'Enna achu bro..en ninutinga? Sakthi looked at him confused.

'Sakthi..enakku antha restaurentku ponum' Arjun said to shakthi.

'Bro..Flightku time aachu..ippo poi restaurentku ponumnu solringa?' Sakthi asked him with a tense tone.

'Sakthi..flightku innum 5 hours time irukku. airportku half n hour la reach ayiduvom. please da please da please da.. ore oru vaati da' Arjun turned on his repeat mode.

'Aiyo..ok ok..FM radiova start pannathinga..Naama polaam' Sakthi said without any other option. Sakthi saw Arjun with disbelief.

'Enna..apdi pakara..Inga chocalate brownie with ice cream nalla irukkum..Athu thaan ooruku pogarthuku munnadi kadaisiya oru vaati saaptu polaam nu inga unna kootitu vanthen.' Arjun gave a convincing answer with thiruttu muzhi.

'Naan ippo en inga vanthinganu kekave illiye..Neenga antha chocalate brownie saapda matum thaan vanthinga..Aapdi thaane?' Sakthi smirked. Before Arjun could answer, waiter came with the order. Both had their brownies.

As arjun expected, waiter came with the bill along with the fortune cookie. Arjun gave a thirtu muzhi to sakthi.

'Yen bro..ungalukku thaan ippo route clear ayiduchu illa. aparam ethuku innum itha namburinga?' sakthi asked out of curiostiy.

'Illa..Oru good vibe thaan.. like I am feeling ecsatic..feeling light and getting a positive aura' Arjun continued to tell but sakthi stopped in between 'Namakitta yaravathu..Nama nalla irupom nu sonna..atha nambanum..Apdi thaane..Intha dialogue neenga 52 vaati sollitinga inga irukara vara' sakthi shooked his head with a sigh.

'Dei..athuellam oru unknown euphoric vibe da..athe nee feel panna thaan unakku puriyum' arjun said.

'Seringa Arjunananda swamiji' Sakthi teased him for which Arjun smacked his shoulder.

'Seri enna vanthu irukunu paarunga' Sakthi said to Arjun. Arjun opened the cookie to find the message

'You already know the answer to the questions lingering inside your head'.

Sakthi started laughing out loud by holding his stomach 'Itha thaan naanum sonnen...Ippo athuve ungala thittuthu..Neenga vitta intha cookies vech unga jadhagame paathuduvinga pola' he said in between laugh. Arjun glared at him.

Both of them reached to Airport. Arjun hugged sakthi.

'Sakthi..Nee enakku evlo periya help panni irukka. Avlo confusionla irunthen..Naan theditu iruntha ennoda lifeah pakkathuliye irunthum ennala realise panna mudila.Thanks for being there with me unknowingly.

Sakthi smiled 'Bro..Naan edhuvume pannala. Infact it all god's play to bring you to this place and make you to find and realise your feelings. And eppavum solra maari..Everything happens for a reason' sakthi said.

Aana.. onnu bro..Sadhanava nalla paathukonga..Avala entha reasonkum hurt pannidathinga..she is such an angel' sakthi said to arjun. 'Ava inime happyah thaan iruppa..Nee enna nambalam' Arjun promised sakthi.

'Aparam..Sadhana kitta..Nee itha pathi edhuvum solla vendaam..' Arjun said to sakthi for which he nodded his head knowingly.

Arjun bid bye to sakthi went in to check in his luggage in the airport. Arjun felt all jittery feeling thinking about his revelation and confession. 'I am coming for you Sadhana ma..I am coming to lock you in my heart forever'.
