After coming home from her workplace laya went to arjun's place. She saw him with a bandaid on his nose bridge. She chuckled lightly by looking at his nose which is bruised. Arjun looked at her by listening to her chuckles.

Arjun : how dare you to laugh by looking at me ?

Arjun started laughing loudly again. Laya gave a nervous smile to him.

Arjun : why are you laughing ? 

Laya : I am laughing because you are laughing.

Arjun : you are not supposed to laugh by looking at me !

Laya : why ?

Arjun : actually i have a problem. Because if that i will get laughter all of sudden. It is called as PBA.

Laya : oh ! 

Arjun : hmm.

He started laughing again. 

Laya : where is my brother ? 

Arjun : he is eating. 

Laya : I want to meet him.

Arjun : that room ! 

Arjun pointed towards a room with his hand. She went into that room and saw her brother who is engrossed in eating.

Laya : rey ! 

Mahesh : akka !

Laya saw lot of dishes on the table. She wondered if her brother got kidnapped for real.

Mahesh : akka ! Please save me akka. I will never disobey your words. 

Laya  : wait for few days. 

Mahesh nodded. She ruffled his hair and went to talk with arjun. Mahesh looked at his sister still she left the room. He sighed and started eating again. Laya sat on the footstool as her legs are paining. Arjun was talking with someone on phone. He cut the call after few minutes and walked upto her. He looked at her with a raised eyebrow.

Arjun : who told you to sit ? 

Laya stood up.

Arjun : it is not for sitting. Stand on it. 

Laya : what ? 

Arjun : yes ! Stand on it. I told you to wear hills but you didn't wear them. My neck is paining when i am talking with you.

Laya ( murmurs ) : then don't talk with me ! Who asked you to kidnap my brother ?

Arjun : what ?

Laya : nothing ! 

Arjun : hmm.

Laughed again.

Arjun : I want you to give me a clear idea about all places in the hotel.

Laya : I don't know about that. I just know all places in the restaurant. 

Arjun : wait ! Listen to me first.

Laya : yes ! 

Arjun : collect it and then tell me. 

Laya : I can't assure you but i will try.

Arjun : In that case i can't assure you for your brother's kidney. It depends on your work.

Laya is getting annoyed but she agreed and left. She felt that he is extremely arrogant.

As soon as she entered into the house her mother kept on asking multiple questions to her. That's an usual thing done by her mother everyday. Only one week is left for the exhibition. She is tensed that she might loose the job but her brother is more important to her. 

........

Varun was sitting on the hospital bed and Meera is sitting on the chair beside the bed. Dr.kishore sat on the bed beside Varun and munching the apple.

Dr. Kishore : Bro ! Do you have this problem since you were born ?

Varun : No ! 

Dr. Kishore : why you got this problem then ? 

Varun : I don't want to share it. Never mind ! It triggers me a lot.

Dr. Kishore : ok ! It's all right.

Meera : shall we go home ? 

Varun : Hmm. 

Dr.Kishore : guys ! Will you drop me at my house please ? 

Varun : ok ! 

Dr.Kishore : thanks !

They walked towards the parking area and got into the car. Meera is driving the car whereas Varun is sitting in the passenger seat. Dr.Kishore sat in the back seat.

Dr. Kishore : what do you do for living sir ?

Varun : I am an artist.

Dr. Kishore : wow ! Which art sir ?

Varun : painting. Realistic painting is my specialty.

Dr.Kishore : superb sir !

Varun : we reached your locality. Where do you live ? 

Dr.Kishore : Oh ! Thank you. I'll get down here.

Meera : It's ok ! We will drop you at your house. Tell the address. 

Varun : yeah ! It looks like it is going to rain at any time.

Dr. Kishore : I am 100 % sure that it won't rain today. I am getting down. Bye ! 

Dr.Kishore got down . Meera and Varun left. He walked few steps and it started raining heavily.

........

Varun : He is such a fool. It is raining badly.

Meera : yes ! 

Both are silent for few minutes.

Varun : Meera ! 

Meera : Hmm.

Varun : I want to tell you something !

Meera : I am excepting it.

Varun : what ? 

Meera : nothing ! Tell me ! 

Varun : I love you ! But i am not in love with you.

Meera : what ? 

Varun : yes ! It's something that is more than just friends but not at all romantic. It's something that is extremely platonic. I just feel like spending lot of time with you. I a, getting the same feeling that i get when i am with my mother. I am comfortable with your presence around me.

Meera is confused but later on she understood his feelings. She expected that he will speak about the hospice expenses again.

Meera : Even i like your presence around me.

Varun smiled.

Meera : we reached ! 

Varun : Hmm. Good night ! 

Varun was about to open the door but she stopped him.

Varun : what meera ? 

Meera bent towards him and kissed him on his forehead.

Meera : Good night ! 

He smiled and ran into his house. She parked her car and walked towards the door. He stood under the patio and waved at her. She also waved at him. They both went into their respective houses.

Varun walked into his room and looked at his mother's photo. 

Varun : I miss you amma !
