Evening 7...
As soon as Surya woke, he searched for Krishna. He was confused whether Krishna really came or was it a dream. He searched around everywhere. Then he heard a sound from the Kitchen. And so he ran towards the Kitchen.
There stood the angel he was searching for. Krishna turned around and saw her husband. She happily said, "Oii Sleepyhead! How many hours did you sleep, Su...Surya?"
Surya was sad. Why didn't she call him 'Subi'? She was about to call Subi but ended up saying Surya. Why? Is she still angry? At the same time, Krishna was confused. Why is he still not replying? So she decided to give him a shock.
Krishna, "Why, Su...Surya? Why are you not speaking? Did you start hating me? I know, Surya. You have always hated me. But my dad and my friends convinced me that you like me. You are not even replying to me. I know you hate me. Who can even like me? I am black, short, always lie and I have acted too. I am going back. You can marry a girl you like." she acted like crying and moved to the entrance.
But Surya hugged her tightly and prevented her from going away. Even though Krishna was happy, she tried to get out of the hug.
Surya, "Hey...Hating you is like hating my mother. I can never hate you. Black...So what you are my Nandita das. You are not short. I am taller. You lied and acted for me and our family, My love. I will take care of you like a baby" he spoke even more and it was harder for Krishna to control her laughter. As a result, her shoulder was moving as she laughed.
Confused Surya, released her. Surya on looking at her laughter, "Hey...Is this acting too? You!" he tried to catch her. But she ran away easily. Then again when Krishna was in the hall, Surya pulled her and both fell on the sofa.
First, he fell...then she fell on top of him. Surya was having a hard time seeing her face too close. So he made her move away from him. But Krishna came closer and hugged him.
Krishna, "Surya...Why are you pushing me away? I did like that to make you shy free. You said to my dad and my friends that you love me. Why won't you say it to me?"
Surya, "No, Krishna. I am wrong. I don't deserve to be forgiven. That day, when you were unconscious. If possible, please forgive me..." He said and started crying. Krishna didn't know how to console him.
"Surya...I have forgotten everything. You forget everything too. You don't know about my heart problem. Bhumi didn't inform you. So I am the one who should say sorry. Why are you apologizing?"
"No...It is not a mistake. What I did is a mistake."
"Surya...Even you won't remember what you said as you were angry at that time. But I was hurt when you didn't give respect to Bhumi. From a small age, I don't like other people scolding Bhumi."
Surya looked at her questioningly. Krishna continued, "Yeah! When I was small, I asked my dad where my mom was. Bhumi started to cry so much. From that day I never talked about my mom."
Surya was shocked by how a dad can grow his daughter like her. He felt proud of his Bhumi pa. Krishna again saw Surya not replying and so she said, "Grandpa...Will grandpa be romantic only in disguise?
Surya, "Hey...How did you know everything? You are not angry with me? How did you come from Madurai?"
Krishna, "Boss...Boss...Wait...Ask one question at the time. At least now you ask the questions. You are very slow, grandpa."
Surya, "Hehe...It's just now only I am grasping the situation."
Krishna, "Okay...Now I will go and prepare dosa then I will tell the story...Okay?" she said and stood up.
But Surya, "Please baby. Dosa afterwards...Now story. But...Do you know how to make dosa?" he asked the main point.
"Don't know. Flour was there. So I wanted to try. Won't you help me?"
Do you think he will say no? The way she asked it mesmerized him. He slowly went nearer to her. She lost herself in him and came forward to him. He also came nearer to kiss but then he shook his head and stopped it.
Krishna first looked at him questioningly and then she composed herself and asked, "Surya...Why are you still hesitating? Do you still feel guilty?" She then went towards the kitchen without getting any answer.
Surya was shocked by her correct guess and then followed her to the kitchen. Both tried cooking and she shared the story.
The moment Surya left Madurai, Krishna was beaten with questions. Bhuminathan looked at her furiously. Others also looked at her from different directions.
Irritated Krishna, "Why is everyone looking at me furiously? Everyone would have behaved the same way in my position."
Kaushik, "Yes! Think wisely. Surya reacted the same way as you. He found the truth on his own, not by our way. Didn't you feel the same way?"
Kathir, "Krish...That day I held his collar and questioned him. Now I am saying he is the one who loves you the most in this world."
Kamal, "Krish...He is my brother. I should not support him. But he didn't stay here selfishly. He only wanted to make you smile. He didn't even want you back in his life. He just wanted to see your old self."
Kamalee, "Krish...I have never seen him cry before. Even when mom died he was like a stone. But when he realized you won't be in his life. He cried hard."
As everyone said one point she turned towards her father. Krishna, "Dad...Why are you not saying anything? Are you supporting the one who disrespected you?"
Bhuminathan, "Appu...You won't be like this when you know the whole truth."
That day...
Karthika to Kamal, "Only one person can change Krishna. It's Surya." The answer not only agitated Kamal but everyone.
For Krishna, everyone assembled in Kaushik's house.
Kathir, "What are you saying, Karthi? Don't blabber? He was ready for a fight.
Hasini slowly, "Karthi sister is right. Only Surya can change her."
Kamal, "He should realize that himself, Hasini. We can't go and plead."
"There is no need for that. I have come to change her.", said a voice from behind. Everyone turned and there was a tired Surya.
