It has taken 6 years to bring life to these four walls which Vikram called a house. That's all it has always been for him. He had a brief taste of what a home would be when it had Akshara's presence and thought he had lost it for good when he lost her.

Until today, Rohit managed to lively see this place changing into what he had always hoped for. He stood at middle of the house and just watched Vikram, running around every corner instructing the maid and Shakthi in cleaning the house and rearranging the furniture. 

He had amicable smile on his face for seeing Vikram's change,

Unna yenna panna sonna nee yenna pantu irukae?

Vikram chides Rohit as he stomps to him and notices the weird smile on his face, he places a hand on Rohit's shoulder in concern,

Yenna da?

Rohit heaves a deep sigh and shakes his head,

Stove'ah off panniya?

Vikram asks, Rohit's eyes which were shimmering in happiness just a second ago goes wide in shock upon realization,

Aiyayo!

The calling bell rings, Vikram quickly adjusts his look seeing his reflection on the cooker before rushing to open the door.

Ivan yenna da cooker'ah pathu lam thala seeva arambichitan?

Shakthi shrugs to Rohit.

Harish and Pragi are surprised to see a completely changed Vikram. Trimmed beard, bright smile and neatly combed hair, nothing close to the sulky person they knew.

Tara varla?

Pragi refrains from chuckling,

Tara'ku last minute'la oru important vela. Office poitu straight'ah inga vandhuruva.

Harish tells to which Vikram nods hiding his disappointment.

Adhu varaikum engala veliya nikka veka poringala ila?

Vikram face-palms himself before inviting them inside. He guides them to have their seats before going to grab his phone.

He sees a text he'd missed from Tara, he was in the kitchen when his mobile was charging in his room.

Have a quick work at office, I'll be there once I'm done.

Do you want me to pick you up?

Vikram sends and restlessly waits for a reply,

No thanks, I can manage ☺️

Vikram twists his lips,

Okay. Come fast, I'm waiting for you

Tara hasn't cursed someone this badly  but if her colleague painfully hit her knees on the table end, Tara won't feel bad.
