Arjun came near Sadhana. Arjun was about to touch Sadhana 'Sadhana ma...naan..' that's when they heard a knock on the door. Arjun groaned in frustration.

'Naan santhoshama konja iruntha...ivangalukku pudikathe' he murmured to himself which was heard by Sadhana. She chuckled at his reaction. Arjun opened the door.

'Anna..anni..Thatha paati vanthutaanga..unga rendu peraiyum vara sollranga' Varun came and told them and went from there.

They both looked at each other and smiled in disappointment and went to meet their grandparents. Their grandparents Sivagami & Chidambaram came to meet Sadhana & Arjun after the day of their marriage.

'Naanga vanthathu kooda theriyama..Roomla enna pannitu irukinga?' Sivagami asked to look at Sadhana.

Sadhana was just fidgeting with her duppatta. She didn't know what to answer. Before she could answer,

'Sadhanava naan thaan kopten..ava ennoda luggage arrange pannitu iruntha' Arjun came for rescue.

'Naan avala ketta..nee yenda badhil solra..avalukku solla theriyatha?' she snapped back to him.

'Aiyo paati...avara thitathinga..naan thaan avar oorlenthu vanthathum avarukku help panlaamnu roomku ponen' Sadhana couldn't bear Arjun being scolded.

Sivagami paati stared at both of them and burst out laughing.

'Ennada thangamgala..paati paathu bayanthutingala?' Sivagami asked them.

'Sivagami naane bayanthuten..paavom pullainga..avanga bayapadama?' Chidambaram thatha said to sivagami paati.

All the elders chuckled at seeing the couple's horror reaction about the paati's stunt after meeting her grandchildren.

'Summa solla koodathu..purushanum pondatitym oruthar oruthar vittu kudukaama pesaringa. epavum ipdiye irukanum..puritha?' Sivagami paati caressed sadhana and Arjun's head fondly.

'Unna paatha yaaruku thaanda thita thonum..Veetu kuthu vilaku maari iruke' Sivagami said Sadhana. She smiled and both got blessings from grandparents.

'seri..Vishwa...naama Sadhanaku thali prichi kokanum illa?' Chidambaram said to Vishwanath.

'Aama pa..aana..inniki thaan arjun london lenthu vanthu irukaan..'Vishwanth said.

'En pa..Arjun...unakku ok thaane nalaiku..Unakku edhuvum problem ah?' Sivagami paati asked.

'Apdilaam onnum illa..paati..enakku eppavume ok thaan' arjun said looking at sadhana and stressed the last sentence to express his feelings indirectly. Sadhana couldn't stop her cheeks turning in pink. She moved from there to the kitchen to help her mother in law, and chithis.

'Athai..naan..help panren' she said by looking at vasanthi, Chitra & Rama (Chitra & rama are Arjun's Chithis).

'Vendam Thangam..nanga paathukarom..Nee po..' said Chitra to sadhana.

'Aiyo..Athai..enakku romba bore adikuthu..naan panrene' she whined like a kid.

'Ennathu...bore adikutha? ippa thaan Arjun oorlenthu vanthu irukaan..avanoda iru..idha naanga paathukarom' Rama teased Sadhana.

'Aiyao..avar kooda thaniyava..anga escape aaganumnu thaan naan inga vanthu irukken..avaru paakarthu paathave enakku ennavo pannuthu' she thought to herself.

'Illa athai...avaru rest edukarau..ethuku disturb pannaum. Athu vara naan help panrene' she said to them.

Sivagami came to the kitchen by the time sadhana said this.

'Vasanthi..Naama nalaikku functionku Sadhanakum arjunkum dress eduthudalaam' she came saying to Vasanthi.

'Seri athai..Arjun rest edukaran..naama evening polaama?' vasanthi asked sivagami.

'Avana edhuku disturb pannanum? naama mattum poitu vanthudalaam. Sadhana ma..nee veetla iru..seriya?' Sivagami paati said.

'Un kooda Charu,Vishal, Sathish, keerthy irupaanga' She said.

'Nee night dinner ready panidariya?' Sivagami paati dropped another bomb. Sadhana didn't know what to respond to.

'enna Sadhu..dinner panniduva illa?' She again asked.

'Haan...pannidaren paati' she said.

'Edhku athai..naangale pannidarom' Vasanthi said.

'Athellam onnum venam..evening seekarama pona..purchase ellam mudichitu vara time aagum. athunaala avale pannidatum..naama shopping mudichitu vanthudalaam. she said to vasanthi.

Sadhana assured Vasanthi that she would take care.

'Edhavathu help venumna Charu keerthya kooptuko da..seriya..thaniya kashtapadatha' Vasanthi said to sadhana. she nodded.

'enna athai...paavam..sadhanava thaniya samaika sollitome..ava thaniya kashtapaduva' vasanthi said to sivagami paati.

Sivagami smiled at vasanthi 'avalukku samayal romba theriyathunu enakku theriyum vasanthi. Arjunum sadhanavum one maasam paathukala..avanga rendu perum thaniya time spend pannanumnu nenaipanga..aana naama nalaiku functionu solli veedu fullah aalungala irukom..avangalukku time spend panna mudiyathunu avangalukku oru varutham irukkum. Athukuthaan avanga rendu perum time spend pannatumnu avala samaika sonnen. Ava cook pannumbothu..Arjun kandippa avalukku help pannuvaan..apdi avangalukkulla antha gap close aagum. Charu, keerthy, Varun Sathish edho reason solli avangalaiyum veliya anupi irukken' sivagami paati finished.

'athai...neenga romba trendy maamiyara irukinga..thanks athai' vasanthi chickled.

'naan trendy maamiyarnu unakku ivlo varusham kazhichu thaan theriyutha' Sivagami teased vasanthi.

All the elders chuckled and went shopping. Here youngsters alone left in the house. Arjun was sleeping due to jet lag. Charu, keerthy Varun and Sathish were watching tv in the living room.

Sadhana was thinking what to cook for the dinner. Charu came to kitchen. 'anni...enna think panringa?

'illa charu...dinnerku enna prepare pannarthunu think panren' Sadhana replied.

By the time, she got a call and she said she will be back in an hour and went from there. Same way, all the youngsters said some reason and left the house. Now only sadhana and Arjun alone in the house. Since Arjun was sleeping, sadhana thought of completing the dinner preparations.

She decided to prepare paneer butter masala, chapathi, jeera rice and Gobi Manchurian.

She took the onions and started to chop them.

'intha onions cut panrathu mattum romba periya taskah irukku' she said sniffing her nose due to the tears he got from cutting it.

'unakku innime entha kashtamum vara vida maaten sadhana ma' he said by standing at the back of her.

She immediately jerked and stumbled due to his sudden close proximity which made her to slip but Arjun securedly held her waist.

They both had perfect eye lock. He smiled and slowly wiped her tears that she had because of cutting onions and took the knife from her to cut the onions.

'illa...naan cut panren..neenga rest edunga..' Sadhana said without looking at him.

'naan irukkum bothu...you need not strain yourself..i will never allow that' he said looking at her eyes. She smiled at him.

'aama...nee enna cook panna pora' Arjun asked sadhana.

Hmm... chapathi, paneer butter masala, jeera rice and Gobi manchurian' she replied.

'ok...naan help panren...we will cook together' Arjun said to her.

'illa...naane panren...neenga poi rest edunga...already you are tired because of jet lag' sadhana told him.

'enakku un kanna paathathuku aparam...en tiredlaam paranthu pochu. I would like to get drowned and lost in your eyes forever' he said looking deep in her eyes.

She flushed in red. She couldn't face him.

'seri naan cut panren...nee chapati dough ready pannu' he said to her. She smiled and nodded.

She started preparing dough. The wheat flour started to stick in her hands when she added water.

"Aeww...enna ithu..ippdi ottuthu' sadhana made faces by showing her hands to Arjun. He chuckled at her antics 'athu starting la apdi thaan ma irukkum..aparam pesaya pesaya seri aadum. Wait let me show you' he said and stood at the back of her and took her hands and started kneading the dough.

Arjun was standing in close proximity as his breathe was fanning her nape which gave a tickling feel for sadhana. His touch gave an elated feeling for her. She turned as red as tomato. Arjun couldn't realise the turmoil that he had created on her. His hands was holding her palm and both their hands were playing with the dough.

'Sadhana ma...paaru..ippo dough ready ayiduchu' Arjun said her without knowing the effect he had created in that poor girl's heart. Since he didn't get any answer, he saw her only to realise what he was doing for couple of minutes. Her face was in the hue of pink.

He slowly moved from his position. He rubbed his nape in blush. He looked at her. He was proud to see the reason behind her blush. He was in the verge of controlling his over running thoughts.

'Sadhana ma...did I make you uncomfortable?' he asked her as he was not sure whether she really likes him being in intimate with her.

'aama...uncomfortable ah thaan irunthuchu' she replied straight on face. Arjun face fell. He only knew that she was girl who he love a lot. But he was unsure of her feelings. He didn't want her to force to accept his feelings.

'Sorry ma..I didn't mean to..' he started by that was cut by sadhana. 'Neenga ippdi uncomfortable ah feel panrathunthaan enakku uncomfortable ah irukku' she said smiling with a tint of blush on her face.

'appo...unakku naan ipdi...hmmm....pudichi irukka' he didn't know how to formulate the sentence. Sadhana chuckled at his struggle and bit her lower lip and nodded positively.

Arjun was elated. 'Sadhana ma..' he called and lifted her chin to face him. 'I like the pink shade on your cheeks and that too if it is because of me' he said to her making her condition more worse.

'Arjuney...' she said with a blush.

'itha kettu..evlo naal aachu illa' he said her with smirk on his lips and a lone tear in his eyes. She inturn hung her head low. He traced his thumb finger on her cheeks and traced down to her lips. He cupped her face and kissed her forehead lovingly assuring he would be there no matter what. He kissed her eyes. He moved to cheeks and gave a kiss on her cheeks making the pink shade to have more tint on her cheeks. He finally neared to her lips. When they both are just inches apart and he was about to kiss her that when cooker whistle made them to jerk.

She couldn't control her racing heart. He rubbed his nape out of frustration. 'enakku intha maari nadakoodathune kadavul setting panni irukaaru pola' he murmured which was audible to sadhana that made her smile with blush.

They both managed to cook the dinner with all their teasings and blushings. The elders came back from shopping. The youngsters came back as well.

Sadhana served dinner to them. 'Sadhana ma...neeyum okkaru...naan serve panren' Vasanthi said her.

'illa atha..naan serve panren'..neenga sapdunga.. naan aparam sapadren' Sadhana told her.

'ellarume okkarunga...sapdalaam' Sivagami paati said.

Everyone sat in dinning table. Charu, Sathish, keerthy, varun and Arjun sat on one side where he was expecting sadhana to sit next to him. But to his luck, Sathish sat beside him making him pout at her. So sadhana had only option to sit opposite to him.

Sadhana Inga okkaru da' Sivagami paati asked her to sit next to her. She without any other go, she sat and started having dinner.

'Anni..dinner super' Keerthy said. 'thanks Keerthy ' she smiled.

'Sadhana ma...ellame super ah irukku da' Chidambaram thatha praised her.

All members appreciated her cooking. She inturn looked lovingly at Arjun. He inturn winked at her.

Arjun and sadhana both were stealing glances. She suddenly felt a tickling sensation on her feet. She casually looked under the table to find Arjun was tracing her feet. She was trying not to react in front of everyone but her cheeks increased the pink shade every second because of him.

She tried to move her leg, but within a fraction of a second he captured his leg with both the legs. She tried to wriggled his hold. But his hold was tight. He maintained the casual face as of he was just concentrating on his food. But this poor girl couldn't balance her food and manage her man child's attrocities.

She pleaded with her eyes to leave her leg. He didn't budge. He gestured her to give a air kiss for which she widened her eyes and nodded as no. By the time, Vishwa dropped his spoon, Sadhana asked him to leave her legs. He nodded as no. Without no other go, she gave a air kiss making sure no one noticing them. He left her legs with a teasing smile.

'KD' she muttered under her breathe.

'in between his love teasings to her, they had dinner.

Elders said the youngers to go to sleep as they need to get up early next day. But youngers wished to spend some time before going for sleep.

Elders agreed to them for sometime and advised not to spend too much of time.

'hey anthakshari velayadalama?' charu asked everyone.
