"..Hey Maya are you okay??...Romba surprised ayite pole..."...he starts to laugh.
"..By the way this is for you.."
She receives the gift box from him.."...Thanks Karthik.."
Maya saw from far her grandma rushed to their place.
".....Maya this is the surprise i told you..Karthik joining us today.. "..Madam Lakshmi interrupt their talk.
"...Aama its indeed a surprise.."..Maya tell quietly.
"...Hey you look pale Maya..."..Karthik inspect her face.
"...Just konjam headache ah iruku.."...
"..Why don't you take rest...your fiance,I'm here is it..I will handle them...go take rest.."
"...Seri..thanks Karthik.."...Maya informs Madam Lakshmi and went inside her house.
Passed few minutes later, Maya changed her plan.
Maya took the gift she bought earlier and sneak out secretly through hidden path to meet Ishwar.
But not realized there's someone following her steps from behind.
Cold night gives chill when Maya hold the doorknob of his backyard.
Just as she hope, Ishwar didn't locked the door.
"...Door eh lock panneve maatara.."..she walks inside and search for him.
"...Hello?..."..still there's no sign of him.
"..Enge ponaru...?.."...she open his study room.
It was dark, she found Ishwar sleeping on his couch while holding a picture frame tightly on his chest.
As she doesn't know about his life Maya curious to see the picture he were holding.
Carefully she took the frame and turn to see it.
With split moment she shocked to see the picture and dropped it immediately.
Ishwar woke up when heard a glass shattered sound.
With sleepy eyes he saw Maya trembling at corner of the room.
"..What you doing here Maya??.."..he walk towards her and nearly stepped on the shattered glass pieces of the frame.
Ishwar bend down to took the picture.. "..You shouldn't see this Maya.."..he sounds frustrated.
It was a picture of Maya and Ishwar showing off their ring happily .
"...Is that picture true?...Who are you..?"..Maya spoke in shaky voice.
"..She needs to know the truth now..."...suddenly her grandma enters the room.
"...Pattima??..What you doing here..? "..she hold her head tightly.
"..Maya..please calm down..."..her grandma went to console her.
"..Lakshmi Mam, this shouldn't happen..bring Maya home.."..Ishwar insist Madam Lakshmi to bring Maya back to home as he could see she looks not good.
"...Lakshmi Mam?? Ishwar you know my grandma?....What's going on here?...Please explain to me.."..she grab his hand with tears visible on her eyes.
He just stand there with long silence.
"...Fine..I will tell.."...he give up as he couldn't hide anymore.
".. You supposed to be my bride Maya..We both in love a year back.."
Maya shock to hear this..
"...But why I not remember anything and how i should trust you..?""...You will..Chellama.."
As soon she heard the word "..Chellama.."..she knew he were telling truth. Her closest people only call her by that name.
"...I was the happiest man when with you Maya..but it was my fault..you had an accident..it brings you to memory loss.."..she could see the sorrow on his face.
"..Memory loss..Is it true?.."..she asked her grandma.
Her grandma just nod and continues...
"..Avar sollrathu ella unmai Maya.. you lost your 1 year life..Ishwar asked us to erase everything about him..he don't want you to remember him back..""..Us?.. Who else know about this?!..."..Maya starts to cry as she couldn't bear with the pain of the truth.
"..Your parents and me..."..she said with fully regrets.
Maya continues.. "..Ishwar..why you ask them erase everything about you.. you doesn't want me to remember back...you not love me anymore..?"...
"....You are not safe with me Maya..its better for you to continue your life with someone else..."
"....Avlo thaana?...Idhuku per love kidaiyadhu Ishwar...how could you..??.."...tears flowing unknowingly when heard his words.
He just stood silently facing his his window.
"...Vaange pattima..namma polam..solle vendiyathu ellam avar sollitaru..idhuku mele onnum ille..."...she wiped her tears away and walk fast to exit the door.
"...Maya wait.."..he grab her hand and stopped her.
"..Listen.. Your life will be in danger again if you back to me..I already suffered with your previous accident..I'm suffering till now.."..she could notice the guilt and blame he put on himself for her state.
"..I'm also suffering?..I don't remember anything but I need to marry someone else...Adhu nyaayama..??"...she tell quietly.
It broke his heart, he never want this to happen but he doesn't have any other choice.
He doesn't have words to give her anymore.
"..I'm afraid..if I remember everything I'm afraid i couldn't stop loving you..I couldn't.. "...with that word she leave him.
