Vaani kept cursing her fate , all these days she did not want to get into any such temporary feeling . She knew it won't do any good to her , after all manasuku puduchuruku na , enna dhan seiya mudiyum?

Only the pillow in her room knew the unsaid tears of Vaani. Pillows can be termed as our best friends , why not when they know each and every detail of when we cry and when we are happy ?

On the other hand for Akash, right from his childhood he kept fulfilling what his family wants . He doesn't go against them , even if he isn't okay with the expensive things he has got from childhood ... being a royal he never craved for expensive items around , he wanted to live a life like an ordinary man . No blame game on his parents .... till date , they have managed to get the best for him . The difference is whether he whole heartedly loved it or not ? Inspite of all this , he had fell for Vaani because she being the only one who looked at the Akash other than the royal image created.
She least bothered about him being royal or from a high stature family. Vaani pulled on to bring the child in him alive. She saw him just like an other human being and that's where he fell head over heels.

Right now Akash is in such a position where on one hand he has his family and the other one who he loves . A difficult choice to be made , be it for anyone !

*******

The Ravindran family was settled in the dining table while Vaani hadn't made to the breakfast in the morning.  Akash kept looking back and forth to see if she might come but to his disappointment she did not.

Ramji who was serving the family spoke
" Doctor ku tazha vazhi nu sonnaga , breakfast ah room laye saptukurenu sonnaga ! "

Apart from Akash , Vinodh Madhavi paati and Mithra knew the reason of why Vaani avoided the breakfast in dining table.

Vinodh : Unnaya lam thirutave mudiyadhu Akash . He whispered which was audible to Akash.

Akash who already was in a fix , now felt all the more heavy , with the mere thought of Vaani avoiding him . Will he be able to live with such a thought.  The answer was a big "No "

Once he was done with his breakfast , there was a war that happened between his heart and mind . His heart wanted to go check on Vaani while his mind was against it since it did not want to give any sort of hope. This time he decided to listen yo his heart . Anything may happen but he was determined to have a word with Vaani by the end of the day.

Vaani on the other hand  " Enna annalum seri , inimel Akash ah pakka kudadhu. Vandha velai ah seekram muduchutu kelambanum " She had made her mind.

Once girl's make there mind, there is no  going back . Like wise Vaani did not turn up in front of Akash while he tried to get a glimpse of her for the entire day .

Vaani managed to keep herself busy with all things that are immaterial to her. She kept running away while losing bits and peices of her .

Vaani walked to Madhavi paati's room , for the night Physiotherapy session before paati goes for a nap.

Madhavi knew the reason for the smile that did not reach her eyes . But she had to take a call , otherwise Akash wouldn't open and Vaani would have her own fear of thoughts before speaking her heart out.

"Pakkuren , innum evalavu naal ku neenga rendu perum oduringa nu " Madhavi paati thought.

Akash knew it was time for Madhavi paati's Physiotherapy session and for sure if he enters her room He would get a glimpse of Vaani .

One thing that Ravindran Family follows is , be it any business proposal or decision to be taken . They consult Madhavi paati before arriving to a conclusion . Since Madhavi paati had handled the Family business after the demise of Ravindran.

He went inside Madhavi paati's room with a discussion regarding a business proposal . He had already had a word with paati but he did not find any other reason to speak and enter the room.

There Vaani was boiling the hot wax for the treatment . It's easier to do exercise when the leg is dipped in to hot wax . She did not even bother to spare a look at Akash .

Little did paati and Akash knew how hard it was for her to abstain from having a glimpse of Akash but she did not get carried away by emotions.

"Dei Akash , indha proposal pathi already discuss pannitome ? " Paati spoke.

Akash blinked his eyes and looked clueless on what to speak , but continued " Illa paati , I wanted to clarify " He took a pause and looked at Vaani but Madhavi paati understood the reason  behind his visit to her room and Akash spoke " The issues present in the proposal " All this time he spoke with a hidden meaning.

"Work out agudhu pola? " Madhavi paati's mind voice peeked in.

She immediately thought of another idea and spoke " Tara kita pesuniya ? Sapna pesa sonna la ? "

That was enough for Vaani to loose her consciousness,  she wanted to check if the wax was hot and dipped her hand to check and the resulted in a loud shriek.

Yes she had burnt her hand not knowing it was tempting hot.

"Vaani enna achu ? " Madhavi paati asked with a concern and she couldn't move since she was resting on the bed.

Akash walked forward immediately and held her hand , she met his eyes and she knew it wasn't right to encourage her feelings again. She pulled her hand from his hold,  which pricked his heart.

"Ma enna achu nu pakka vidu " Akash told out of concern.

" Paravala ! I have burnt my hand " She told not meeting his eyes

"Vaani doctor ah kupdava ? " Paati spoke.

"Paati ! Idhulam normal ah nadakuradhu , I have to get used to it " Vaani spoke with a hidden meaning which Akash understood.

Madhavi paati asked her to rest until her hand gets alright . She walked to the garden area with the ice pack on her hand and sat down. Wondering what was wrong in her fate. She had an ointment with her.

Inspite of being a doctor by profession , one thing she hated the most was where you have to apply the ointment.  It hurts and causes the burning sensation more.

Akash walked upto her and sat besides her.
She did not want to continue and maintain any conversation with him .
She stood up and was about to walk , when Akash tugged her injured hand and made her sit with a force . She shrieked in pain.

"Sorry Na venum nu pannala " He told as he looked at the burn in her hand.

" Ellam venum nu dhan pannitu irukeenga " Vaani snapped him off.

"Na sollradhu kelu Vaani " Akash tried his best.

" Ennaku edhuvum venam keka , we don't share a credible relationship to speak " . She spoke as she pulled her burnt palm from his hand and pain was visible in her eyes.

He again purposely held her hand in his and began taking an ounce of turmeric paste in his hand and gently began applying it on her hand.

" Enna dhan allopathy medicine vandhalum , paati vaiydham mari edhvuum illa " He spoke with his concentration on her hand while Vaani looked and keenly listened to him.

Ointment may look posh and easy remedy for any burn. It might even cause ur burn to dry soon but the chemicals used inside an ointment might not prove to be good for anyone " He paused.

"Adhe mari Manjal enna kaiyam vandhalum seri pannirum . It might not look posh attractive ah irukadhu , you might have to grind it.. extra work is there but permanent solution " He spoke looking at her eyes.

"Adhe mari dhan neeyum en life la ! Matavanga kannuku nee eppudi nu ennaku teriala , to mee you are no less than a wonder. " Akash managed to speak his heart out.

All this time Vaani understood his intention, he meant the ointment to be Tara and the Turmeric to be Vaani. He clearly addressed her insecurity feeling and conveyed it to her in such a manner.

" Ointment pudikuma illa Turmeric ah ? " She questioned with her heart beat raising.

He stood to walk out when he turned and spoke to Vaani " Answer unnake terium , ennaku edhu pudikum nu "
