Akash's family spoke with Vaani's parents and stayed there for a little longer.
They realised it was time for them to leave so they could reach kotagiri early.

" Appa ! Namma business meeting inga dhana naaliku " Akash started.

There you go , the immediate glare he had got from Vaani. Akash gulped and continued, " Na inga iruken , neenga kelambunga."

Akash's family and Vaani's family clearly knew that wasn't the reason for him to stay back.

"Nee inga enga irupa ? " Mithra decided to pull his legs.

"Akash enga irundha unnaku enna ? " Sapna came to his rescue.

"Hari vandhurukan Cannada la irundhu avan kuda irupen" Akash managed it.

The family finally did not want to tease him longer than they began leaving.

"Unmai ah sollu Machan? Vaani ah convince panna dhana iruka " Vinodh questioned.

"Illaye ... investors oda nalliku meeting " Akash stuttered

"Nadikadha," Vinodh smacked his shoulders.

Madhavi paati pulled Akash near him .

"Nee ippa panna pora task kashtam dhan " Madhavi paati assured.

But Akash couldn't understand the context for an instance. He understood how much Vaani would have squeezed her tiny little brain.

"Vaani kaal la vizhundhru ! Thappe illa " Madhavi paati winked for which Akash chuckled.

The family later on bid bye and left , while Akash and Krishnan sat in the hall and the duo spoke, but what did not settle well with Akash was the ignorant behaviour of Vinay

He noticed Vinay entering his room when Krishnan excused himself with a call, and Akash found this as the right opportunity to connect with Vinay.

Vinay was busy playing chess online on his mobile with an opponent he is not aware of in reality.
Akash walked in to find Vinay confused about his next move in the game. He moved ah pawn, and there it is
" Checkmate,"  Akash gently smiled.

Vinay just had a blank expression on his face when he knew the purpose behind his visit.

"Na konjam pesanum," Akash hesitated.

"Na pesa venam nu sollalye," Vinay replied in a monotonous tone.

"Pudikalaya ennaya ? " Akash genuinely wanted to know , he can't have a sour relationship with Vaani's brother who would be his future brother in law.

"Duck uh ku ungala pudikum ! Neenga avala azhama vachurundhinga na ungala ennaku puduchurukum " now Vinay sounded serious.

"Ava azhudhu pathadhu illa , mukiyama ava amaidhiya irundhu pathadhu illa adhuku karnam neenga dhan " Vinay's voice fell.

Even though He and Vaani shared a relationship of Tom and Jerry,  he couldn't withstand how she broke down when she had returned back.

"Bayama iruku avala thirupi ippudi break aga vitingana ? " Vinay looked at Akash.

If Akash was in Vinay's place, he would definitely be worried about Mithra's happiness.

"Vida maten," Akash assured.

Vinay knew Akash wasn't a bad guy , the situations and the way he functions are different . He might not be upfront about his feelings but definitely wouldn't let go of Vaani, which was something he was assured of.

"Avale vitutu ponalum , Na po maten Vinay." Akash had a beam of smile.

"Ava innoru time break ana ! Na iruken, " Vinay told in a rigid voice, making Akash chuckle inwardly.
