Author's POV
"I don't understand what you want right now...what will you get by making Akka and Athiyan restless"
Thalir scoffed at Aadhavan, who seemed indifferent to her shouting. In a huff, she hurled a pillow straight at his face.
"Ipo ena achunu thayathaka nu kuthuchitu iruka nee.....Avan en anna avan kuda naa viladrein athula unaku ena vanchu....avane onum perusa eduthuka mattan"
(Why are you making this a big deal? He's my brother, and I can play with him as much as I want. If he doesn't mind, then why are you creating a fuss?)
Aadhavan spoke nonchalantly, expressing his dislike for her talking about the same topic for an hour after Thulir and Agathiyan had left.
Thalir glared at him
"Because I am getting reality checks now as I have been in my delusional world dreaming that I would have a happy life with you"
"Ohh so what happened to that dream now "
He questioned as he stood up, his anger rising alongside him.
"I think it will remain as Dream forever "
Thalir said staring back into his eyes..unaffceted by his stern tone...
"what do you mean by that?"
Aadhavan asked raising his brows in not so calm tone taking a step closer to her...Thalir pushed him away
"You've used me all these years to spy on Akka and Athiyan, to gather all the information about what's happening here. I was naive, believing you were hurt and needed my help... and gradually, I fell in love with you. It was my mistake to think you loved me in return. But no, you've returned now only because Periyattha asked you to; had you refused, she would have found another way to bring you back. You know she did this for Athiyan and Akka's marriage, and yet, what are you doing? You're trying to create a rift between them. What if Akka calls off the marriage? And now, I'm most afraid of what might happen if Akka discovers my involvement with you and learns about your parents secretly supporting you under the pretense of being angry at you."
You are well aware of how my akka is..... she cannot forgive betrayal. You wish to play with your brother, and regardless of the extent of your quarrels, in the end, you will reconcile. However, if my worst fears come to true, then my akka will act as if she no longer has a sister named Thalir and will never look back."
On the other side
Thulir spent the night awake, still needing to reveal her decision to call off the engagement...Agathiyan offered to reveal it, but Thulir insisted on handling it herself. If Uyir consented to call off the engagement, then it would be final. It wasn't a significant challenge for Thulir to inform her mother, yet something held her back from doing so.
why does she want to stop this engagement is it because she is now prioritizing Agathiyan and her mental state or just because of the fear that Aadhavan might pull up any stunt that will disrupt their special day....
why is she afraid of Aadhavan and what he possibly can do at the moment? he can't do anything that will stop this function ....then what is it his presence that is bothering her...if yes then why?
Wasn't Aadhavan her best friend? Indeed, he still is, as well as her closest cousin. She has been quarreling with Agathiyan since childhood, to the point where she can't recall when it started. Throughout, Aadhavan has been the mediator between them. He's the one she confides in and vents to the most, with nearly 90% of her complaints being about Agathiyan. Yet, Aadhavan always supports his brother, advocating on his behalf, never once conceding that Agathiyan might be in the wrong...
