Adithya got down from his car and ran towards the beach in bridal costume with tears flowing down his cheeks. There his girl, in her wheel chair, gazing the waves which hit the shore again and again.
"Sanjana" she heard him from behind but she has no guts to face him. She closed her eyes tightly whilst praying that it should not be true.
But when she opened her eyes, there he is standing infront of her, in traditional attire. 'How many times she had dreamt him like this beside her, but now ?'
She pressed her eyes again and again with her fingers, to make him disappear but he is there for real as flesh and blood.
He smiled painfully before kneeling down infront of her. He hold both her palms in his hands tightly before looking into her eyes which were already moistened.
"Yen dii" vulnerability is visible in his voice and his eyes which made her to avert her sight.
He kept her knuckles on his eyes and cried asking "Solirukalam-la". He brought her knuckles to his lips but she removed it promptly.
He saw her with hurt and pain. "Adhi iniku unaku marriage" she said looking at everywhere but him.
He weakly smiled, got up and stood behind her holding the handle of wheelchair "Sari vaa polam".
"Enga" she asked tilting her head.
"Kalyanathu-ku ponnu venum-la" saying so he started to drag the chair but she "Vena Adhi".
"Yaaru-ku vena" he held her chin forcefully.
"Unaku" she said looking into his eyes.
He sighed and left her before asking "Aana yen?"
She caressed the wheelchair silently with glistened eyes.
He kneeled down before her again "Ithukaga-va vendam-nu solra" he asked, placing his hands on her legs. A lone tear escaped when she closed her eyes.
"I want you beside me kannama. kaalam muluka naa sumakuren di unna, manasula matumila (he paused and she looked at him) kailayum...please di vena-nu matum solatha" he took her palms and cried leaning on to it.
She caressed his head, releasing from his hold "Unaku ithu vena Adhi"
"Atha nee yen mudivu panra...enaku neethan venum, please di" he whined making her shed more tears.
"Solurathu easy Adhi, aana nijam vera... Epovachu oru time nee mugam sulicha kooda naa guiltlaye sethuruven da"
"Hey paithyam naa apdilam ninaika maten di, enaku unkooda vazhanum... santhosama.... niraya varusham...namma kolanthainga kooda" he emphasized every word whilst tightening his hold.
"Please Adhi purinjiko" she whispered in a pleasing tone.
"Ena di purinjikanum.. Sollu...sollu di ena purinjikanum..ithuthana un prechana...(he asked pointing the wheelchair) apdina naanum poi en kaala odachitu varen apo ethupya enna" he shouted by shooking her elbow harshly.
He left her in sudden realisation of what he said. "Correct apo ethupala.. ethupa...ethupala" he blabbered the same words, walking back.
"Adhiii"
"Adhi solratha kelu, Adhii" she shouted.
"Adhii please da..stop this" she drained out by crying and calling him simultaneously.
"Aaadhiiii I love youuu" she screamed gathering all her left out strength which made him to halt and turn towards her swiftly.
"Athuthaan enaku teriyumae, kalyanam pannikurya?" He asked rather demanded innocently by wiping his tears.
She chuckled in tears before nodding "Pannikuren da..Vaa", saying she opened her arms widely.
He went and hugged her tightly before placing a peck on top of her head while she hugged him by his waist.
They parted and she signed him to lift her. Once he lifted her in his arms, she started to beat him, which he received happily and joined their foreheads with tears rolling down.
The loud applause of cheering sound bring both of them to reality.
They thanked everyone who appreciated them, before moving towards the leisure bench.
Both walked in silence by glancing at eachother. The scene which happened infront of her house the day before, kept rewinding in both of their minds.
She hugged instead of asking him to stay with her forever and he promised by a kiss. But they don't know whether the either, think the same.
When he was about to speak, she dashed on someone and stumbled. If not Arjun, who held her elbow, she would have fallen.
They looked up to see her Sivakarthikeyan anna standing there with crossed arms.
"Na nikurathu kooda paakama madam ena yosanaila varinga"
"Athu.." she trailed, seeing Arjun, which had his attention.
"Ohh sir, Hi sir" they shook their hands before hugging eachother.
"Aprom sir, Shoot epdi poguthu? Production team nalla paathukurangala? All ok ?"
"Yeah sir all fine. Nalla paathukuranga. Aprom shoot nalla panirukomnu namburom" Arjun answered without leaving his hand.
"Rendu perum super'a panringale naathan pathenae"
"Neenga paathingala" Sivaangi queried to which SK just nodded with a smile.
"Epo?"
"Mm ipo thaan. Ivlo neram anga thaan irunthen oru call vanthuchunu pesa vanthen"
"Nalla paninga" he said looking at Arjun.
"Thank you sir"
Throughout the conversation, Sivaangi's eyes were on Arjun, which didn't go unnotice by both of them.
Her only concern was he is not in his usual self. Something is in his mind may be the same question as hers.
"Nenga pesunga naa vanthururen" she sighed when he excused himself from them.
"Enachu da" her brother asked holding her shoulder, to which she shook her head negatively, whilst watching the disappearing figure of him.
"Neenga varinganu sollave ila" she asked once they settled on the chair.
"Ohh..appointment vaangitu thaan paaka varanuma madam" he teased making her whine "Anney ena ney"
He laughed at her "Enaku iniku entha schedule-um ila da, athan inga shoot epdi nadakuthunu paakalamnu ninachen" she nodded with a smile.
"Aama nethu call panunapo un voice'ae sari ila, Yen?" He asked
"Athu epovum pola thaan ney, negative comments, konjam low'a irunthen, aprom sari aagiduchu"
"Paarda, avlo seekram sari aagura aal ilaye nee" he looked at her dubiously making her to trail her words "Athu.." seeing him who was standing far from them with a happy face.
SK followed her eye sight and saw Arjun "Ohho katha apdi pogutha"
She snapped back from her sight and looked bewildered at her brother who had his eyebrows narrowed teasingly.
"Ayo athulam onumila ney" he nodded slowly at her still unconvinced smile.
She closed her eyes and took a deep breathe before asking "Anney naa ungakita onnu solanum thappa ninaika matingalae" by fidgeting her fingers randomly.
"Sollu da" he became concerned on seeing her nervousness.
"Athu nethu..." She started saying about their conversation the previous night, her hug and his kiss which felt more like a promise...The questions running in her mind... Arjun's actions from today's morning.
SK heard her keenly before facing her with a straight face and voiced "Unkita naa itha ethirpakala Sivaangi" with a tint of disappointment.
