Ashwin was all brisk the next morning .

He received a call from Anitha and he remembered about the fire accident .

" Sollu Anitha "

" Ashwin , everything is fine , and idula oru china problem iruku , nee en kita solum podhu dan inga fire eh airuku , so technically u received even before the incident , yaaro venumne panadhu nu thonudhu " she told .

" U know what ? just brilliant , I will take care of this , dont worry " he said and cut the call .

Ashwin called his closest friend from the department of police to find out in detail regarding the fire accident .

He happily went to her apartment early in the morning .

As soon as she opened , her jaws dropped looking at him .

" Seriously ? work edume iliya Ashwin , ipde pochuna na police complaint dan kudupen , prabhala thozhil adibhar Ashwin torture seiraarunu " she huffed in response .

" Elame ok , namba appa rendu perum close dana Sivaangi , en nee en mela revenge edutha ? " he asked .

She paused and looked at him ,

" En appa vum un appa vum close nu teriyuma unaku ? " she asked .

" I know krishnakumar uncle , appa praise panadha naale ila " he genuinely smiled .

Her tears threatened to leak down , controlling it ,

She sat down with a thud ,

" Un appa onum nalavar ila " she said angrily .

Ashwin frowned , " excuse me "

" aama un appa onum nalavar ila , en appa va kola panaru , he is a bloody murderer " she said .

" Enough is enough " he roared at her .

She jerked at his tone and cried continuously .

He felt bad and sat down , " appa ku ena achu nu sollu " he asked

" I wanna go to work , lets meet today , naane solren , un appa yaaru nu , en appa yaaru nu , podhuma ? " she said .

He gently nodded ,

" elame terinja apram um en pinadi varadha Ashwin " she said with teary eyes .

He wiped her tears and smiled , " Look , the lines we draw , fences we build , borders we enforce are illusions , idellam real ila , they lead to violent consequences , apdi dan naan nee panadha pakren , una edo thadukudhu nu terinjum un pinade varen , humanity's significant and moral failures begin with these lines "

She smiled at him , " trust me , un edathula na irunda ivlo erangi vandruka maten , but vendam Ashwin , promise me na elame sonna apram ena disturb pana vara matenu "

He paused and looked at her , nodded a no .

She kept looking at him , with teary eyes , plastered smile , " then its a no "

" Sivaangi , ok I promise not to disturb you , iniku night pesalama ? elame elame sollu , en appa thappu , na thappu , elame sollu , but open up to me , guess I deserve a chance "

She smiled with a tinge of sadness , " promise me Ashwin " she opened her right palm before his .

He looked at her eyes one last time ,
