In the morning Arjun woke to see Shalini asleep, he smiled and left to refresh. He came back after 20 minutes and left downstairs. He came back after 10 mins and saw Shalini sitting awake. 

Arjun: good morning ga 

Shalini: good morning

He smiled and sat on the couch

Shalini: yen ga Amma ena panranga?

Arjun: Amma uh sruthi nerathula kovil potangala ipa tha appa sonaru.

Shalini: oh..she said with a sad face.

Arjun: yen ga ethachu venuma 

Shalini: illa ga Suma tha ketan.. Her words were different from her facial expressions. 

Arjun understood she needed something.

Shalini: Ila..adhu..

Arjun: Paravala vanga.. 

Shalini thought for a second and nodded. He helped her stand and made her hold on to him and helped her walk without leaving the bandaged leg touching the ground and left her near the washroom. She came back after a few minutes and stood near the door and he took her back to the bed.

Shalini: thanks ga

Shalini: illa ga athu last week uh leave potinga…

Arjun: illa ga leave Ella podala work from home .

Shalini: oh seri

She did not argue after that and was silent. After returning from the temple Jaya fed Shalini and asked Arjun to take care of and took Sruthi to the hospital. Shalini slept after some time due to the painkillers. Arjun worked for sometime and left to make lunch. When he returned with lunch Shalini was awake.

Arjun: elunthu tingala

Shalini: ipa tha eluntha

Arjun: seri lunch sapdalama

Shalini: hmm

Arjun sat beside her on the bed with a distance. Took a spoon of rice and forwarded towards her.

Shalini: kudunga Nana saptukaran.
