Ashwin was dumbfounded when he saw the forensic report, again and again on their way to the security system room.

Fire emerged from electrical malfunction.

A:Electrical Malfunction'ah? Adhu epdi?

K: Adhanda ennakum purila, namba footage pakalam ellam therinjurom.

They announced a leave on the following week due to the incident on that night and to fix the damages.

Ashwin and Kathir entered the room.Kathir started surfing through the system for last night's footage.

The fire that came out of nowhere was too obvious to be accident. There was certainly more to this. Especially not in the room that had such important files.

After playing the footage, Kathir excused himself to attend a phone call. Ashwin forwarded the footage and suddenly saw it.

A charger, a simple mere worn out phone charger has started the fire. Ashwin couldn't believe his eyes, he recognised them. When he thought of replaying the whole thing again he was interrupted by Kathir,

A: Yenna da?
K: They want cancel the deal.
Kathir mummured
A: Huh?
K: Avunga deal cancel pannanum'nu solranga dha!

Ashwin was thunderstruck for a moment. His eyes were filled with anger.

Vaa polam!

Ava: Vihan?
Vih: Kya baby?
Ava: I did something for you right
Vihan hummed as he nuzzled to her neck.
Ava: Will you return me the favour?

Vihan just nodded as he thought she was just gonna ask him something luxurious for her collection.

Ava: Do something to her
Vih: What?
Ava: Shivanya. Hurt her .
Vih: Why babe?
Ava: She has been a nuisance ever since she was born. Moreover she slapped me for HIM. I want to see her suffer. It's not like anyone would worry abo-
Vih: Leave it to me Babe, I know exactly what to do.

Vihan concluded with a smirk when Avantika mentioned Ashwin as he jumped back on her.

Late night, Ashwin was sitting in his personal suite couch, his shirt dishelved, his fingers rubbing his forehead as he recalled the events of few days ago,
~~~
Sir idhukagalam yaravadhu project'aye cancel pannuvangala sir?

Inga paarunga Mr. Kathir, don't think that we sound superstitious but collab panni one week'laye, ipdi agirukku. Avlo naal kuda assurance illa, aprom yepd-

Before they could finish Ashwin stormed out of that place dragging Kathir by his arm. He was done listening to more of their bullshit.
~~~

He was interrupted by Shivanya's call for the 20th time. Frustrated, he finally picked it up,

S: Hello Ashwin? Where are you? Yen en call attend pannala? Do you know how worried I am? Aap kahaan hain?
(Where are you?)

A: Ptsch.. Ayiram vatti sollirken Tamil la pesunu!
S: Naanum Ayiram vatti sonen inniki seekiram vaange nu. Neenga mattum kettin-
A: IPPO YENNA DHAN DI VENNUM UNNAKU!!?

Shivanya was startled when she heard him shouting from the other side. Her eyes started becoming teary but she composed herself and asked him concernly,

S: Naa yenna panne Ashwin? Care la thane kekkur-

A: Ama care panna vendhiyappo panala! Dheivasenju phone'ah vei!

Ashwin hung up on her and threw his phone away.

He still couldn't believe that her carelessness will cause them this much.

Never in his life has he lost a project or the trust of his partners,even when he dealt the company through his mother. He couldn't even reveal this as it could be harm to her.

Being the self centered and ruthless person in business that he is, if someone else on Shivanya's place, they would have been black - listed or worst.

Without him realising, In a instance Ashwin's Anger took over his Love for her.

On the other hand, Shivanya could understand that he is stressed because of recent happenings. She didn't even mind his anger, in fact she felt sorry for him and mentally scolded herself for not being with him at this time.
She got an idea. She quickly refreshed herself and wore something nice

She grabbed some stuffs from the store room and started off to his house
