"Ippa enna dhan de un prachana ? " Meera questioned.

"Hey Hitler pesala d enkuda " Vaani whined

" Ippa andha manushan pesuna enna pesati enna ? " Meera asked back

"Meera ! See avaru namma nenaikura mari lam illa teriuma , even though he appears to be in and out rigid .. He is good at heart .Na unkuda amma appa kuda irukura mari dhan iruken, enna adhu pannadha idhu pannadha nu oru vaati kuda sonnadhu illa !
I feel home with him" her heart screamt .

"Na onnu sonna nambuviya ? He burnt the fear I had all these days for animals ! "

" Iru ivalavu naal Hitler ah kaluvi dhana uutuva idhu enna pudusa out of syllabus ah nee praise panra ?" Meera asked with her jaw dropped.

" Na pesuna rasiparu Meera ! At times irritating ah irundhalum avaru adha porumai ah keparu , vera enna venum ? Ippa takkunu edhvuum illama third person mari munji ah kamucha ?? " Vaani's sound fell.

Vaani spoke without taking a breath and decided to walk to the kitchen to fetch a cold water bottle.

Processing each and every bits of information fed in by Vaani , Meera finally understood the equation Vaani held for Akash . Meera sighed heavily thinking how Vaani ended up being a big tubelight.

" Unnaku idhu ennanu puriyala Vaani ?"

"Enna ? " She asked back taking a sip of water.

" I think ... " Meera hesitated

"You think ? Sollu d onnum puriyala " Vaani kept the water bottle back in fridge and turned.

" I think You are in love with Akash ! " She told in a single breath .

Akash was visible to her peripheral vision when she closed the fridge and hearing this from Meera ... it was too much for Vaani to process and she ended up fainting in front of Akash.

Akash informed about Vaani's sudden Faint and Meera asked him to let Vaani call her back once she is fine . Once she cut the call she couldn't control her laughter.  Her best friend couldn't take up the immediate confession which made the moment turn hilarious for her.

*****

"Vaani endri ! " Akash spoke with a tinge of fear and splashed the water on her face not before making her lie on the bed.

Swapna and Dev along with Mithra were around but Vaani did not get her conscious back.

Swapna and Dev excused themselves to make couple of call to the doctors who could be an aid to them.

Vaani opened her eyes , and jerked seeing Akash in front of her with panick stricken face.

She adjusted herself and laid against the headboard , while Mithra went running to inform that Vaani is fine .

"Ippa okay va ? " He asked as he looked at her face.

She turned cold , she was extremely nervous her hands started shivering knowing that fact that he is more than just a Hitler in her life.

Akash noticed how her hands were trembling " Hey en ennachu kai en ippudi shiver agudhu? "

She had no answer for it , all that kept running in her peanut size mind were

"Will Akash accept her ?

Will she manage to grab a part of this family ? "

"Ennaku slight a thunganum ! I ll be alright nothing much to worry " Vaani managed to speak few words .

Akash noticed something very unusual of her and that did not settle well in his mind.

He left the room and informed his parents and Madhavi paati about her well being and retired back to his home

********

"Meera ! Unna kolla poren , ippa Hitler kita vandha oru mari pannudhu " She wailed

"Illa idhu varaikum neenga spend panna time la , oru time kuda va unnaku ippudi tonnala ? Irundhucha illaya ? " Meera questioned

Many a times she had undergone all the emotions but just that Vaani failed to see what it was or we could term that she ran away from acknowledging it but now when Meera breaks the truth on face , the reality needs to be accepted no matter what.

" Irunduchuu .... Ana illa " Vaani spoke.

"Nee enkita poi sonna paravala , un manasu ku edhu unmai nu terium Vaani " Meera again put the truth across.

"Okay ! Othukuren " Vaani finally came in terms with reality.

"Ennanu othukura ? " Meera tried to tease her friend.

"That you indeed have brains to make me acknowledge my feelings " Vaani was back to normal.

"Kolupu d ! Eppa Akash kita solla pora ? " Meera asked with excitement in her voice.

"Teriala ! May be may be not " Vaani's voice turned feeble.

Rejection as been a part of Vaani's life which she always embraced with a smile but hearing a no from Akash might make her fall in to peices and she might never be able to rise back. The fear along with her realised feelings did not help her to muster courage to confess this directly to Akash.

*******
"How long are u going to run away from Vaani ? " Akash's mind voice questioned him.

He had no answer , he couldn't hold on to staying away from Vaani.

Being with her , in her company was all that he would always enjoy be it now or when he is all old with white hair and weak physique,  she ll still be the same Vaani just a little bit of alteration with all white hair and wrinkled skin but at the end she ll still make him smile , while he ll always be there to listen . The feelings remains unchanged even when they are in there 80's.

In the attempt to satisfy and live for others, he decided to take the call and stand up for his love even if his family is against ,might be Vaani is his Royal Misfit !

Akash decided to shrug of his guard and his poor little heart started wandering over places thinking if Vaani would reciprocate.

In a haste he made a call to Vinodh .

Vinodh : Vishayam illama kupda mata enna nu solu

"Adhu vandhu ... "Akash hesitated

"Gupta Files sign pannuyachu ! " Vinodh spoke thinking Akash called him for official matters.

" Ada chi adhu illa ! " Akash spoke annoyed.

" Oh Sorry Sorry! Happy cubes ku quotation anupuchuten" He again interrupted.

" Dei konjam summa iru da " Akash shrieked and continued
" Doctor dhan venum ! "  He stressed on the word Doctor.

"Adhuku edhuku da ennaya kupdura ? Doctor ah kupda vendhiyadhu dhana? " Vinodh did not understand the underlying intention.

Akash huffed heavily and that's when it striked Vinodh , the meaning behind Doctor.

"Nejama ? " ecstacy was visible in Vinodh's voice.

Akash hummed in response and cut the call since he knew he would be prey to Vinodh's teasing.

*****

Madhavi paati : En d oru nimushathula ellarayum padara vachuta . She told as she pulled her ears .

"Adhulam onnum illa paati ! Neenga tablets saptutu thungunga " Vaani advised and walked out of the room.

Vaani kept speaking to herself " Maalz ku eppa solla ? Sonna odane inga vandhurum ! No No No No " She muttered and dashed not looking at her foot steps.

Her eyes moved up to see who she ended up tripping on and all her blood cells began rushing in which indeed was a new feeling . Akash stood there in front of her with his arms crossed near his chest.

She tried to move from the left , he blocked the way. While she tried moving from the right , he blocked the way .

Vaani with utmost courage tried to look at his eyes but failed miserably.

"I think " Vaani's voice was feeble.

"You think ? " Akash raised his eyebrows .

" Neenga move panna nalla irukum " Vaani did not speak her heart which wanted to profess her feelings which was unusual of her.

" Karuthu Kannamma sollirukanga , oru dadava iducha , innoru time idikanuma ! Idhikala na sanda varum nu " He played along."

Before Vaani could process anything , Akash joined his forehead with Vaani's with a blissful smile and walked away , leaving Vaani to feel her heart thumping against her chest rapidly.
