" Unnaku edhavudhu nut kalandurucha da ? Puduchuruku nu sollitu talli nikka pora nu ollarura ? " Vinodh snapped.

"Dei ! She is happy go lucky girl , I don't know if my family would accept her , she ll be a perfect misfit for the royal family even though she is imperfect , I couldn't help falling for her . Imperfects ellam terinjum ennaku puduchuruku na , I know I cant hurt her at any cost but what if Amma doesn't agree ? I have always been the ideal son in her eyes ! A no from her , I can't go against Amma da . Its better to bury my feelings within me rather than causing trouble to both of us " Akash told with a pale face.

" Unnaku unga Amma Appa ellam mukiyam? But  u can't give up the ideal son responsibilities and for once stand up for your happiness " Vinodh lost his patience.

"Dei ! Na ava kita irundhu talli irukuradhu ennakum avalukum nalladhu and we r no more discussing this topic " Akash told as he walked out of the room not wanting to continue the conversation

********

The next day , when everyone were surrounded in the dinning table . Vaani looked up at Akash  who did not even spare a smile . Leave about giving a smile , he did not even look up at Vaani which left her confused . She had her breakfast with a tinge of Sadness. Little did she knew , how hard it was for Akash to put up with this act , he couldn't but controlled his emotions not wanting to hurt her in future.

Vinodh sighed heavily looking at the duo and looked at the roof top
" Ellam unga setting nu praise pannen la , ennaya sollanum ! Ippa ennaku teriadhu , avunga rendu perum sendhe aganum " He ordered the Almighty.

*******
Vaani went for her afternoon  session , she placed a sponge ball down besides Madhavi paati's feet and instructed her to roll the ball keeping it in the centre of the palm.

While Paati achieved the exercise , she expected her little doctor to squeal in happiness but she found Vaani engrossed in her thoughts.

"Vaani ! Enna achu ? " She asked in a serious tone bringing back Vaani from her train of thoughts.

"Paati ! Na onnu keka va ? " She asked hesitantly .

Madhavi paati was keen in listening to her worry and hence she nodded her head.

" Ennaku Maalz , Aadi and Appa va pakkanum pola iruku ! Romba naal achu la inga vandhu ? Na poi patutu odane vandhururen ! " She blinked her eyes.

Sighing at how Vaani was  little scared to put front this issue , Madhavi paati spoke " Ada , idhuku dhan ivalavu bayandhiya? Poitu seekram vandhuru ? "

Hearing an yes from Madhavi was a cherry on Vaani's cake , she can finally reach back her home . She jumped out of excitement and hugged Madhavi paati .

"Aiiii ! Vaani vazhikudhu vidu vidu " Paati wailed trying to release herself from Vaani's hold.

Vaani kissed Madhavi's cheeks and ran away in excitement , leaving Madhavi to chuckle at her innocence along with warding of the evil eyes. 

Vaani in excitement came running down the corridors , that she didn't realise that she fumbled due to the sudden dash of Akash who came in the opposite direction .

He knew that Vaani is equal to Hyperactiveness . He shook his head and did not bother to look at her but was stopped when he found her keeping her hand horizontally blocking his way .

He sighed and tried to move in the left but she again  blocked him with her hand .
He finally managed to look at her eyes and raised his eyebrows questioning her about what she is upto ?

She did not speak , but tiptoed and bumped her head against his forehead and spoke
" Oru dhadava idhuchukuta , innoru time iduchukanum illana sanda varum nammakula " She told twisting her lips and made way for him and pointed her hands asking him to go .

He walked past Vaani with a straight face while she was confused as to what is wrong with him " Psycho aytaro ? " She wondered.

Little did she knew , how much ever Akash tires to avoid her she some how bumped into him time and again making Akash to to bite his inner cheeks from blushing.

*********

They sat for dinner when Akash's eyes kept searching for a pair of familiar eyes . Vaani became home for him Unknowingly.

Sapna spoke " Ma , Vaani coimbatore reach aytala ? Kuptala unngala ? "

"Oru half an hour munnadi call vanduchu , Ava reach aytenu sonna " Madhavi Paati spoke as she ate few bites of idli.

"Ooruku porenu sollave illa ? " Akash murmured which was audible to Vinodh.

"Nee kalaila irundhu avoid pannuviyama , unkita vandhu sollitu pova paru ! Ollunga sapudhu "Vinodh told with a sarcastic tone only to get a glower from Akash .

Akash calmed his heart down saying,  its good to be in practice from now on to stay away like this rather than getting hurt . He finished his dinner in a hurry and walked to his room , while walking in the corridor he passed Vaani's room .

Akash decided to enter and the aura and vibrance of her was still there in the room . He did a mistake of entering her room which started invoking the feeling of missing the little bundle of happiness in his life.

Akash came out of Vaani's room , to see Hazel sitting down outside the door.

" Unkita sollitu ponala Hazel , ava porenu ?" Akash questioned as he ran his hands over the dog's hair.

" Bow Bow Bow " Hazel squealed nodding her head horizontally.

"Namma pesa venam ? Okay !" Akash's face fell when Vaani did not even inform him about her departure.

" Bow Bow Bow " Hazel screamt again nodding a no , she would love to trouble Vaani , indicating she did like Vaani.

Hazel and Akash pulled Vaani 's leg all the time when  she was around and now Both of them became a prey to missing her . Vinodh who saw this from far sighed " Irukuramodhu avoid pannu , illadha modhu feel pannu ! Idhuku illaya oru enduu kadavule ? "

*******

Akash was used to seeing her around his home always , that he could feel the void of her in every nook and corner of the house.

How much ever he tried , he could nt get rid of his thoughts . He tried functioning properly but his mind and heart were abnormal. He realised how slowly she had captured a big crunch in his heart along with his life.

He walked up to the hall and turned on the TV to keep his mind distracted , rightly the vision he got was the visuals of " Raaja raaja chozhan naan
Enai aazhum kaadhal dhesam nee thaan."

He cherished the moment where he sang these lines along with Vaani ? Could there be any other blissful moment than this , the answer was a big No.

He wanted to get rid of Vaani 's thought bit eventually without him knowing he ended up reliving the memories cherished with Vaani. He missed her smile , he missed how she effortlessly brought a huge smile on his face and He hates her for taking his smile and happiness along with her.

Vinodh who saw the transition in Akash felt bad seeing the state of his friend . But he knew this realisation  was much needed for Akash to fight for Vaani .

********

24 hours , he spent with out having a glance of Vaani felt huge for Akash . He sat down in the balcony staring at the stars with a hope of Vaani's return.

He took a paper folded it into a rocket , once he was done making a  paper rocket .
He wrote " Vaani -Loudspeaker" on the rocket and aimed it at the sky.

" Tappu dhan ! There is none who can refill your place . Seekram va Loudspeaker ! House seems lifeless without your noise "
