Sadhana started her practice session for grand finale. Arjun was all with her. He made sure to be her side during her practicing sessions and he did work from home most of the days.

Anu mam gave her the best training. Sadhana was all talented to get the skills downloaded from Anu mam.

'Chellam..Nee romba continousah practice pannatha..Take a break.You have enough time. Nee select panni irukara songs romba nalla irukku..You have already practiced enough. Relax for sometime and start your practice. Nee inga varanumnu illa..oru 3 days aparam we can have a video call to have our session ok va' Anu mam told her fondly.

'Ok mam..Thank you so much..Neenga enakku ivlo thooram train panni irukinga. Naan ivlo rounds cross panni varuvene naan nenaikala. It's all your training mam' she said with a lone tear.

'Naan onnume panala da..unnoda talentah naan konjam upgrade panniviten avlo thaan..its all your passion, your hard work and your talent.. You will surely do well' Anu mam said and blessed her.

Arjun came to pick her. Anu mam smiled at him by the time Sadhana got a call and she excused herself to attend it.

'Thanks maam..Anniku semifinals appo..neenga director sonnathuku oppose pannama irunthu iruntha...Sadhana would have lost in semi finals' Arjun said her.

'Arjun..Sadhana oda talent enakku theriyum..Oru nalla talentah groom panna thaan pudikume thavira atha destroy panni iruntha naan music mela vechi iruntha mariyathaiku arthame illama poi irukkum. Sadhanava naan ennoda studentah paakala..avala ennoda ponnathaan paakaren and i know about her singing talent. Nalla perform pannitu if she couldn't acheive due to nepotism or bias, athu ava talentah degrade pannra maari irukkum..Enna antha maari yaaravathu panni iruntha..naan inniki oru popular singer ah unga munnadi irukka mudiyathu..' Anu mam said with a smile.

Arjun and Anu mam were chitchatting by the time Sadhana came back after her call.

'Sadhana ma..kelambalaama?' Arjun asked her.

'Haan..kelambalam Arjuney..' She said.They both left from there after Sadhana taking blessings from Anu mam.

Next morning Arjun woke up first by hearing the call from his mobile. She took his mobile to see the caller id and annoyed 'Ivan ethuku kalankathala call panraan?' Arjun murmured and picked the call and went to the balcony so as not to disturb Sadhana's sleep.

'Dei..enada ivlo kalaila call panni irukka?' Arjun asked.

'Machan..odane youtube open panni paaru' Roshan said him with a tense voice.

'enna achu da?' Arjun asked him confused.

'Nee open panni paaru' he said again.

Arjun without knowing he opened one of the YT and saw that there were many unethical edits thas been done with Sadhana and one of the male contestants of the show and was projected in a wrong way and had many anomaly comments for the same which made him to fume in anger.

Arjun immediately called Roshan 'Yaaru da pannanaga?'

'Therila machaan..but itha apdiye stop pannanum..Thangathuku theriya vendaam..Naanum prakashum.. yaarunu kandupidika try pannom aana kedaikala..IP address trace panna try pannitu irukom' Roshan said.

'Yaara iruthaalum..avanga summa vida koodathu..ithuku pinnadi yaarunu paaru..Naan Sadhanaku theriyama paathukaren..' Arjun said.

'Atha naanga paathukarom da..aana avalukku theriyama epdi irukum..ava mobilela paathutaana?' Roshan asked.

'Naan paathukaren da..neenga yaarum ava kitta edhuvum sollathinga..avalukku theriyama..itha solve panni mudikanum' Arjun said to him. Roshan hummed in response.They both disconnected the call. He immediately made some calls.

Arjun was in deep thought that's when he felt a pair of hands held his waist from the back. He came out of trance.

'Arjuney..yen seekarama ezhunthutinga?' Sadhana asked in a sleepy tone. He immediately smiled at her.

'Onnum illa ma..office call vanthuthu athu thaan ezhuthuten' he said.

'Inniki Sunday thaane..inniki yen call panraanga?' she asked with a pout. He couldn't control his urge to pinch her pout.

'Oru project vishayama call pannanga..avlo thaan..inime yaarum call panna maatanga inniki..ok va?' he asked by tapping her nose. She smiled at him.

'Seri..nee seekaram ready aagu..we are going somewhere for four days' Arjun said.

'four days ah..enga porum arjuney? Enakku practice pannanume..' Sadhana asked in a surprised tone.

'engaporomgarthu surprise and unnoda practicelam pannikalam..just four days..unakku finals ku innum 10 days irukku' He said and asked her to pack and get ready.

'ivarum..ivar surprseum' she murmured to herself and went from there. Arjun immediately took her mobile and switched off and took it with him.

Arjun came to the balcony and called Prakash and Roshan that they are leaving for a trip for four days and asked them to contact him when they get the details.

Arjun and Sadhana came dressed up they left from there. They both got into the car. Sadhana was searching for something in her bag.

'Enna thedra ma?' Arjun asked her.

'Arjuney..en mobilela kanom..athu thaan theditu iruken' She replied.

'Un mobile enkitta thaan safeah irukku..Intha trip mudinji vara varaikum..no mobile..naama rendu perum mattum thaan okva?' he said with the smile.

'Ithenna bonga irukku..enakku bore adikume?' she pouted.

'Unakku bore adikaama naan paathukaren' arjun winked at her which made her cheeks turned red.

'pechu mattum thaan..vera onnum kedaiyathu' she murmured to herself that was heard by Arjun.

'Enakku kekuthu di...unna anga poi paathukaren' Arjun said with a smirk. She blushed for his reply.

They had usual teasings and blushings for sometime. They played songs for sometime. All the time Arjun made sure that he is fine in front of her and not to make suspicious. Later after sometime, Sadhana slept for sometime. Arjun was in deep thoughts while driving. He want to make sure of who was behind the video controversy.

'enna nadanthalum...naan sadhana va save pannanum. She should not come to know about this. Therinja ava thaanga maata..yaara irunthalum...I will make them to face the hell' he thought and caressed her hair.

After a couple of hours of travel, Arjun woke Sadhana for lunch. They had lunch on a roadside dhaba. But Arjun's face was so tense which was noticed by Sadhana.

'Arjuney...enna achu? Yen oru maari restlessah irukinga?' Sadhana asked for which he jerked instantly.

'athellam onnum illa ma...I am fine..drive pannitu vanthen illa...athu thaan konjam tiredah irukku' he said with the usual smile.

'ippo ivlo thooram drive panni naama enga porom..ethukju ivlo strain all of a sudden..kettalum solla maatenringa?' Sadhana continued with her questions.

'enakku strainlaam onnum illa...drive pannum bothu pasika arambichiduchu..athu thaan' he managed to say which sadhana nodded half heartedly. Bynthe time he got a message from an unknown number.

'Hello Mr. Handsome. Hope you had a great surprise this morning. But I missed seeing your emotions in person and I wish to see more in coming days'

Arjun got tensed seeing the message. His anger got no boundary. But he couldn't show it now in front of sadhana.

As hours went by, his face was tensed and sadhana noticed that. He never left her side. Whenever she asked for his weird behaviour, he gave some random reasons which didn't sit well with Sadhana.

'edho maraikararu...avar mugame seri illa...ketta ennamo Kaaka kuruvi kathalaam solraru...enna Achu ivarukku?' she thought to herself and decided to ask once they reach the destination, thinking that Sadhana slept.

They reached the place. Arjun woke Sadhana. She rubbed her eyes. It became dark. She felt cold.

'Enga vanthu irukom Arjuney?' Sadhana asked by rubbing her hands.

'Wayanaad'

'Enna wayanaadah?' Sadhana exclaimed.

'enna special Arjuney..yen Suddenah plan panni irukinga?' Sadhana asked him.

'unkooda irukarthe special thaan' he said in intense voice.

'so cheesy...unmaiya sollunga...enna sudden trip?' Sadhana asked him again.

'onnum illa ma...neeyum practice pannite iruke..and finale nenaich nee nervousah irukennu theriyum..athu thaan...oru short trip plan pannen..unakkum konjam mind relax aagum..namakkum...refreshing ah irukkum' he said with a wink.

They both went to vythri resort and asked for the room that he had booked.

Sadhana looked at the interiors of the resort which looked so sophisticated. After getting the keys the room service helped them in getting their luggages to the room.

Sadhana looked at the room.. it was so lovely and she saw an attached balcony that gave a serene view of the hills. The room had a bathroom with jacuzzi bath tub and the toiletries and a separate bath shower and attached closet and wardrobe. She heard a water flowing nearby. She found there was a private sit out beside their room which gave a view of a stream flowing adjacent to their room which gave romantic feel.

Arjun came and hugged her from her back and placed his face on her shoulder.

'oi... Surprise pudichirukka?' Arjun asked in the husky voice.

'pudichi irukku..placeum atha arrange panna aalaiyum' sadhana said with a blush.

'aana...enakku oru doubtuh.. sudden neenga epdi ivlo short timela arrange panninga?' Sadhana asked him.

'I have my own ways Sadhana ma' Arjun said and kissed her forehead.

'itha paatha..sudden trip maari therila' Sadhana raised her eye brows.

'seri...sudden trip ah nenaika vendaam..namma sudden honeymoon tripah nenachiko..illa honeymoon ku oru trailer maari?' Arjun said her in his base voice which made Sadhana laughed out loud.

'ennathu honeymoonku trailerah' sadhana asked inbetween her laughs.

'neenga...sudden honeymoonunu solrathu kooda ok...aana trailer...aiyo ennala thaanga mudila. Kalyanam aagi 7 maasam kazhichu honeymoon porathuku oru trailer vechathu neenga thaan arjuney..' she again laughed out loud which made him to admire her cuteness.

'Enna nadanthalum...I will not leave your side Sadhana ma' he thought and hugged her tightly and kissed her forehead.
