While waiting for Paratai, Sahana's business mind suddenly thought of an idea. Sahana noticed that Shiva had a huge institute and lots of facilities, but there were not many students.
"Shiva un business develop panrathuku naan oru idea kudukata?" Shiva raised his eyebrows at Sahana's statement. He couldn't understand what she was trying to say.
"Shiva, ne yen oru potti un institute sarba vaika kudathu?" Shiva scratched his head, he still couldn't understand where she got this idea from.
"Ne solrathu ennaku puriyala Sahana?"
Sahana smiled lightly and said, "Illa un institute romba nalla iruku, but nariya paeru ku Chennai la intha mathri oru institute iruku nu theriya vaikurathuku tha intha potti..."
Sahana was further explaining to Shiva, on how the competition could develop Shiva's institute, helping it to get more exposure. Sahana also told Shiva that he could invite media people over, and broadcast the competition live on television and social media. Shiva was looking at his wife with proud eyes, on how she was starting to take responsibility over the institute. Shiva was happy with Sahana's idea, but he was afraid that it might cost a lot of money at the end of the day. Money was not a problem for Shiva, but he wanted to make sure that this plan would work out accordingly. Shiva also needed someone to work on with the paperworks.
"Un idea ella romba nalla tha iruku Sahana, aana ithuku nariya panam selavu agum la? Apram antha potti ku prepare pandrathuku nariya velai irukum la" Sahana had a small idea at the back of her mind, but she was hesitant of how to convey her plan to Shiva, and how he would take it.
"Shiva, naan onnu sonna thappa nanichika mattiyae?"
"Ne enna ivlo thayangura, ithu Raangi ah illaya?" Shiva narrowed his eyes at Sahana.
"Naan venum na, intha competition ku invest pannata, ennaku konjam savings panam iruku, naan un partner aganum nu asai padren?"
"Ennathu partner ah?" Shiva had a happy tone in his voice, his eyes almost beaming, Sahana realised that she used the word 'partner' and it could go both ways depending on how Shiva takes it.
"Atha Shiva, business partner, ne nanikira mathri onnum illa sariya?"
Shiva smirked and said, "Naanum athu tha soldren, business partner nu, life partner ah sonnen." Shiva winked after ending his sentences. Sahana couldn't believe that Shiva was so smooth with his words nowadays that it almost made her blush.
"Seri apa, namma intha potti ah Deepavali ku apram vechikulama?" Sahana asked Shiva. Shiva realised with all the problems going on, that he almost forgot Deepavali is around the corner.
"Ohh ama la, deepavali ku innum oru varam tha iruku, naan maranthay poiten." He made a mental note to make sure that this year's deepavali will be extraordinary for both Sahana and Aishu. It is also his first celebration with Aishu. He is very excited to celebrate a festival with Sahana after six years and he wanted to make sure that it is going to be a memorable one for the three of them. As Shiva was deep in his own imagination, he heard the sound of the shutter opening, so he was brought back to reality. Aishu was so excited to meet her parents, and the three of them shared a hug.

After dinner, Aishu was getting ready to sleep together with Shiva and Sahana. Aishu was not sleepy yet, she was busy telling Shiva everything that happened in school that day. She sat on Shiva's lap and she was telling her story to both Shiva and Sahana, and they were listening to their cute daughter attentively. Aishu was very happy, and she asked if Shiva could lift her on his back for a moment. So Shiva carried Aishu for a piggy ride and made a few rounds around the room . Aishu was very happy and she kissed Shiva out of excitement. While Shiva was busy playing with Aishu, Sahana realised that she had never seen Aishu's smile this full before. 'Shiva, Aishu va ivlo santhosam ah naan ithu varaikum parthathu illa. Ithuku ellam karanam ne tha Shiva. Ennala kuda avala ivlo santhosam ah vechika mudila.' Sahana thought to herself, she was feeling very grateful that Shiva was finally there for Aishu. Shiva on the other hand could somehow sense what Sahana was thinking, he looked at Sahana and thought to himself, 'Sahana, Aishu oda santhosathuku karanam naan oh, nee oh illa, namma tha karanam. Oru kulanthai ku amma, appa rendu perum romba mukiyam Sahana. Aishu oda valkai la ennaku urimai kuduthathuku romba thanks Sahana.'
