Ashwin and Ashima had their flight to France, 2 days after their wedding. They were busy with packing up things and spending some time with family. A day before their flight, Ashima met up with her friends, Kayal and Sandhya.

Kayal and Sandhya: (coughs), make way for the newly wed

Ashima: aarambame seri illaye, enna rendu perum oru plan oda dha iniki meet panna vandhurkingala

Kayal and Sandya: cha cha, apdilam edhume illa

Ashima: adhu!! So, whose turn next?

Kayal: kandipa Sandhya dha, I'm not ready for it

Sandhya: I'm not ready as well

Ashima: rendu perum idhaye sollitu irunga

Kayal: pinna unga maariya madam, sorry Mrs. Ashwin

Sandhya: correction, Mrs. Abby

Ashima: rightu, iniki naa dhan matunana

Kayal and Sandhya: of course, without a doubt

Ashima: Ipde ready illa ready illanu solitu irunga, unga veetlaye date fix pana poranga, panitu they will give y'all just the information

Kayal and Sandhya: we're still kiddos, edhume theriyadhu, idhula how do you think we'll be able to get married and live a married life, can't even imagine ourselves in such situation

Ashima: as if I know everything A-Z and like I'm all ready for this?

Kayal: by now you should have known it all, everything

Sandhya: adhana, kalyanam aagi 2 naal aachu, inneram terinjirkanume

Ashima: enna pesuringa, indha 2 naal la apdi enna I would have known, we are just going to take it forward and go with the flow

Kayal and Sandhya: adhu onnum illa, we were just teasing you

Ashima: adipavingala, ippodhan purinjadhu. Such corrupted minds!!

Sandhya: epdiyum innum oru 1 year la we'll see kutty abby la Kayal? Adhuku apram venumna naa kalyanam panna yosikiren, nee unnoda experience lam enkita solidu, I'll get prepared

Kayal giggled along with Sandhya.

Ashima: oru plan oda adhan irukingala rendu perum, 1 year lam vaaipilla, romba imagine panadhinga

Kayal: ennadhu? Whyyyyy

Ashima: at least 2 years, we don't plan to start a family anytime soon. Ippodhan we will be spending time together after forever, family lam vandhuta it will get tough for us, and we'd end up missing many moments

Sandhya: are you sure in this?

Ashima: yes yes, we've talked about it, and we had same thoughts on this, adhunala we agreed to it. At least oru 1 year or so, it will be just the two of us

Kayal and Sandhya: unnoda maturity paadhi irundha kooda naanga rendu perum polachupom

Ashima: adhelam iruku but y'all refuse to think of it

The conversation continued and the girls spent another 2 hours together and sent off Ashima to her home.

Next day, Ashwin and Ashima traveled to France and got to their new home. Ashima had shifted to this home just before flying to Australia few weeks ago. By the time, they settled everything at this new place, they were dead tired. But Ashwin badly wanted to visit the Eiffel Tower at night. Ashima tried to change his mind, but nothing worked. They eventually went and Ashwin wanted to just walk around the base.

Though Ashima has seen it so many times that it shouldn't excite her as much as it is for Ashwin, this is her first time visiting it with the love of her life. That felt very new and different, she was admiring the Eiffel Tower like it was her first visit here. They took a walk around the base, Ashwin was holding Ashima's hand throughout and kept telling her how magical the place is.

Ashwin: there will be no other better place for our honeymoon abby, I'm already in love with this place

Ashima: naanum inga neraya thadava vandhurken but today it feels very different

Ashwin: (looked at Ashima and smiled) really?

Ashima: yes (with a smile)

Ashwin: why so?

Ashima: don't know, maybe it's just about being with you, and being here with you, gives some kind of happiness, like a fulfillment

Ashwin stood up and told Ashima "I've got something for you". Ashima thought to herself "nooo, not again", she didn't want him to come up with another surprise, she's yet to get over from all that he has done till date.

Ashima: abby, pls don't tell me you're about to do something and make me cry, I'm not ready for it

Ashwin: (smiled) nothing like that

Ashima: okay then what is it?

Ashwin: This is not exactly a wedding vow, but I want to let you know this as we are about to begin our life together. When we first had our eyes on each other, we never imagined this day would come. We have had our own ups and downs, with the downs most of the time. Those times only made us to realize the love we had for each other, it's indeed crazy to have all the feelings remained unchanged after 8 long years, I thought it was almost impossible to get you back. But the moment I saw you at your home, that's when I told myself, somehow, I'll make you mine, I will not be able to let you go. And now, we are together. Thank you for understanding me, thank you for going through rough times of your life for me, thank you for always showing me that you're the one. We may not have all our days will be of sunshine and rainbows, but I promise you that however tough it may get, I'll choose to go through it with you. We're in this together. Thank you for making me yours. Just know I'll choose you over and over and over, not because I have to, but because I want to. Love you so much abby. (Kissed on Ashima's forehead)

Ashima just stood there tearing, while Ashwin was talking all this while. She hugged him tightly and said "Abby, it has always been you and that's how it will be hereafter, I love you too, thank you for everything".

And they started their life together.
