'You went through all the profiles and still you say that you saw someone you were familiar with..how is it possible da? we didn't find the exact matching profile!'

Chandru huffed while Adhrith sighed in confusion,

'Adha enakum purila, at least I should have found someone who looks alike her..but I shouldn't..annaiku na pathadhu apo Claire ilaya?' 

'Adhepdi da enaku theriyum? you told me that you didn't have any photos of that lady..I am totally clueless..' 

Adhrith went into deep thoughts while he was on the phone with Chandru. When Chandru sent him the profiles of the women who work in the Sunrise Pub, Adhrith went through it at the very moment, but to his disappointment, he couldn't find any match to Claire. He wondered whether he mistook someone to her, but he was pretty sure about that day when he was conscious enough to confirm that it was her.

'If you can give me a single image of her, I can get her entire biodata..aana ni ipdi sonna enala enna panna mudiyum solu?' Chandru tried to help his friend,

'I understand da..enala ipo poi check pana kuda mudiyadha nelamaila iruke..(sighs) anyhow, I am totally confused now..idha ipdiye vitralam..let's see..and, thanks for your help macha..' Adhrith said and disconnected the phone.

He checked the wall clock and it showed 4 o'clock in the evening. Days passed very quickly and today was the day he was about to meet Andrea with Samvrutha. He had to be prepared to face Andrea as he has planned to take Samvrutha with him. He knew that it was right, yet he sensed that Andrea might get furious for not informing her.

He logged off and moved towards his house. He already reminded Samvrutha that morning to get ready for the meetup. Luckily, his parents had to attend a function of their friend's son and left that noon. They already informed that they would be late, so Samvrutha was left all alone in her thoughts.

She knew that there was no point in opposing Adhrith when he was determined in his decision. She got ready in an appealing grey-colored straight cut full sleeved shalwar kameez with a light embroidery of same color which was one of the collections she designed herself. Sometimes, when she is off mood, she used to dress herself up with her own unique collections so that she could keep her mind diverted from the matter which was bothering her. Today too, she did the same.

She otherwise maintained the natural her, the way she liked. She looked at her reflection the mirror and sighed when her eyes fell on her thaali. After a mental fight, she pushed it inside her shalwar. She heard the bell ring and rushed towards the door to open it. 

Adhrith stood at the entrance patiently. The moment she opened the door, his eyes fell on her and they involuntarily gazed her from top to toe. Samvrutha ignored the way she felt butterflies due to his gaze and cleared her throat to bring him out of his trance. Adhrith averted his eyes and entered in like nothing happened.

Since he confirmed the meetup, Adhrith sensed Samvrutha being restless. Even though he missed the chirpy version of her for the past few days, he decided to give her the space she needed to process herself. It might be his decision, but he wanted her to realise what importance he wished to give her.
