Episode 15...
Shreya sat across from Ajay, her eyes full of determination. She knew how hard it was for him to even think about facing his past, let alone traveling to Switzerland, where Abi now lived. But she also knew that confronting his unresolved emotions was the only way he could truly move forward.
'Ajayy, namba ponum' Shreya said, her voice firm but gentle. 'idhu Abi pathi kidaiyadhu. It's about you finally letting go of the weight you've been carrying for all these years.' She said
Ajay ran a hand through his hair, his expression torn. 'Maa, en... ennala idha panna mudiyuma nu therla. Seeing her again... it will bring back everything.' Ajay said
Shreya moved closer, placing her hand over his. 'I know it's hard. Ana neenga sari aguradhuku idhu dhan orey vali . You've already started a new life with me, and I'm so grateful for that. But there's still a part of you stuck in the past, and you need closure.' Shreya said
Ajay looked into Shreya's eyes, seeing the sincerity and love that always radiated from her. She was right, of course. She had been right about everything since they'd met. But facing Abi, after all this time, seemed impossible.
'Ana... what if it just makes everything worse?' Ajay asked, his voice barely above a whisper.
Shreya shook her head. *"It won't. Ungaluku naan iruken, na engayum poga maten. We'll do this together. And namba thaniya pogala-Naren anna, anni, and Zaara chellam kooda vara namba kooda for moral support. You'll have your friends with you, just like always.' Shreya said
Ajay sighed, feeling overwhelmed. But he knew there was no escaping this. Shreya was right-he had to face Abi, if not for himself, then for their future together.
'Okay' Ajay said finally. 'namba polam'
Shreya smiled, relief washing over her face. .'I promise, this will be the start of something new for us.' Shreya said

As they began planning the trip, Shreya sat down with Naren and Keerthana to finalize the details. Zaara, their toddler, was playing nearby, her laughter filling the room.
'namba ellarum serndhu pona nalla irukkum la' Shreya said, glancing at Zaara fondly. 'Ajay will need the support, and mainly Zaara will keep things lighthearted for him.' Shreya said pinching Zaara's cheeks..
Keerthana nodded, adjusting Zaara's tiny shirt. 'We wouldn't miss it for the world. It's important for Ajay to have his friends with him. Adhuvum ellarum ona pona jolly ah irukum.' Keerthana said
Just then, Malini and Hussain entered the room. Malini, pregnant and glowing, walked carefully beside her husband.
'We've been talking,' Malini said, smiling brightly. 'Naanum Hussain num ungala join panalam nu ninaichom. It would be a nice break before the baby comes, kind of like a babymoon.' Malini said
Ajay, who had been listening quietly from the corner, immediately looked concerned. 'Malu enna velayaduriya, unnakula Kolandhai irukka. I don't think it's a good idea for you to travel so far. Edhavudhu achuna enna pandradhu sollu'
Surya, echoed his son's worry. 'Ajay's right. Malu ma indha timela risk edukka mudiyadhu da'
But Shreya, who had anticipated this, jumped in with her usual optimism. *"Ajayy, mama, ungaloda kavalai puriyudhu, but Anni's pregnancy is stable. She's been healthy throughout, and Hussain anna avanga koodaye dhan irukka poranga. We'll all take care of her. Besides, a little trip before the baby comes could be exactly what she needs.' Shreya said
Keerthana chimed in, smiling at Malini. 'It'll be a family trip! Don't worry, we'll make sure everything goes smoothly.'
Ajay and Surya exchanged glances, still hesitant, but they knew they couldn't argue with Shreya and Keerthana once they had made up their minds. And the truth was, having Malini and Hussain along would make the trip feel more complete. Unfortunately Rakshan was not able to join the trip as Saranya was nearing her due date...
