"Peniviti... I didn't do anything. Please don't send me away from you..." Vachya begged as she held his arm tightly but he avoided her gaze as the announcement for the flight came out of the intercoms.

"It's okay! Vachya! I'll take care of you" Sister Agnes tried consoling the thirteen year old.

"I don't need anyone to take care of me. Peniviti.... I'll not leave you. Don't send me away....." Vachya hugged his waist tightly.

"It's time for the flight. I'll send you the remaining details through fax" Raghav nodded at sister Agnes who held Vachya's shoulders and pulled her away from him forcefully.

"Peniviti...please....peniviti.....peniviti... don't leave me.....peniviti" Sister Agnes started dragging her away but she held Raghav's hand tightly even though Raghav didn't spare a glance at her as he slowly pulled his hand back making her sob as everyone looked at them confused but no one stopped them as sister Agnes dragged her away towards the security check.

"Little demon....." Raghav gasped opening his eyes to see himself still in the secret room and sighed looking at the pictures. He stood up and walked towards a picture caressing it "I'll never forget that look on your face. It'll haunt me forever little demon".

It was the picture of her birthday when he handed her the gift after they got home. He looked around at her pictures to see them completely covered in dust making him sigh "No matter how many times I think of not coming here your memories just drag me here. I guess I'll have to live with them until the day I die" and walked out of the secret room closing the door and moving the book shelf to its place.

"I should be the one asking. What happened to Janu?" Bhanu asked making Keerthi frown.

"I don't know. I didn't see her after the engagement" Keerthi and Bhanu looked at Janu who was already sitting at the dining table. She smiled at both of them making them smile back and Keerthi continued "She seems okay to me".

"No! She's always late for breakfast but she came early and when I asked her if she wanted to cook she said there's no need for that" Bhanu explained

"No! She's always late for breakfast but she came early and when I asked her if she wanted to cook she said there's no need for that" Bhanu explained.

"Maybe she's having her period" Keerthi shrugged.

"But you don't behave like that during your period" Bhanu retorted.

"Each individual has different mood swings" Keerthi rolled her eyes and joined Janu at the dining table.

"Keerthi! You've to pick up Aaryan from the bus stand at eleven'o clock" Bhagya served them breakfast.

"I thought Raghav Annayya was going to pick him up" Keerthi looked at Bhagya.

"He has gone somewhere" Bhagya informed her.

"Can I come with you?" Janu asked.

"Sure! But I'm gonna use my bike" Keerthi nodded.

"It'll be fun" Janu mumbled and silently ate her breakfast.

***************************************

"Ok! Don't get angry on me but I heard everything" Keerthi spoke as she stopped at a red light. Sensing that Janu is not going to talk she continued "So you're going to ignore me?

"Yeah!" Keerthi frowned and parked her bike at the bus stand.

"What?" Keerthi asked as Janu got down from the bike followed by her.

"I'm going to ignore your brother's words" Janu shrugged with a smile making Keerthi chuckle and both of them went to pillar 3.

"What if Annayya doesn't love you back?' Keerthi asked.

"He won't" Janu walked towards the nine year old kid waving his hand leaving Keerthi confused.

"Keerthi....." Aaryan hugged Keerthi making her hit the back of his head.

"How many times do I need to tell you not to address me with my name? I'm your aunt for god sake" Keerthi shook her head

"How many times do I need to tell you not to address me with my name? I'm your aunt for god sake" Keerthi shook her head.

"Alright! Who's this beauty Keerthi?" Janu chuckled at Aaryan's teasing.

"That's your to be aunt" Keerthi introduced her.

"Oh! What should I call you?" Aaryan asked.

"Atta!" Janu shrugged.

"It's too old fashioned. Let me call you darling. What do you say darling?" Aaryan hugged Janu's waist making Keerthi raise her eyebrows while Janu laughed.

"Alright! Little darling" Janu ruffled his hair making Aaryan grin.
