At night,  Poorani is staying in Radhi's room. Because of Madhan's arrival, she shifted here. Poorani was scrolling her mobile with deep thoughts and then messaged Vinoth in his blog. Vinoth in his room is waiting for her message. He was sure that she will message him today. 

Poorani_the_scientist- " Guru irukeengala?"

a_soul_voice- "solunga scientist"

Poorani_the_scientist- " Guru enaku rendu doubt uh "

a_soul_voice- "nee message panum pothe therium sollu.. "

Poorani_the_scientist- " oru psycho voda unmaiana target yarunu epadi kandupudikurathu?"

Poorani_the_scientist- " athu naan inaiku oru psycho va nerlaye paathen.. but appo avan psycho nu enaku theriathu.. apuram TV la news pathu therinjukiten..", she then texted him the happening. 

a_soul_voice- "sari, ithukum un question kum ena samantham?"

Poorani_the_scientist- " Enaku avan target en friend ah irupangalo nu doubt ah iruku Guru..  "

a_soul_voice- " uyiroda ve illathavana pathi enna kavalai?"

Poorani_the_scientist- " athuvum correct thaan.. cha itha yosika vitutene guru..."

a_soul_voice- " adutha doubt.. "

Poorani_the_scientist- " athu,... kadhal ah pathi neenga enna ninaikureenga? kurripa love after marriage and before marriage ethu best uh, Guru? "

a_soul_voice- " atha pathi ethuku kekura?"

Poorani_the_scientist- " athu nanum en friend um oru decision eduthurukom... naan intha family laye irukurathu pathi... "

Vinoth understood where the chat is leading to..

a_soul_voice- " oru 5 mins iru varen"

Poorani_the_scientist- " Guru, mukiamana nerathula pogatheenga..,.. thodarum podura scene ah ithu?"

Poorani mind voice- "vinoth ah correct panalama nu kekurathukulla offline poitare.. Radhi idea padi correct pana try panalama? work out aguma? ipo enna decide panrathu??"

She waited for his reply message. Within minutes she heard a door knocking sound. Poorani opened the door and found Vinoth at the door steps. 

Poorani- "sollunga boss"

Vinoth- "ulla varalama? konjam thaniah pesanum.."

Poorani allowed to enter inside. He closed the door. Poorani furrowed his eyebrows but didn't get afraid. 

Poorani- "ethavathu mukiamana visayama? door ah close panreenga? ennachu? radhi samanthama ethavathu solla poreengala?"

Vinoth smiled and said, "oru paiyan ulla vanthu door ah close panren.. unaku bayam varalaya?"

Poorani- "therila... ungakita enaku bayam varala.. may be neenga radhi oda annan-grathala irukalam.. neengalum annavum radhi ah epadi valatheenganu therinchathala kooda irukalam"

Vinoth- "oh, radhi ku naan nalavana iruntha unakum naan nalavana irukanuma enna?"

Poorani- "athu,.. apdithane eduthukanum... illaya? sorry boss, aana nijamave bayam varala... yen nu theriala", she scratched her back head in confusion.

Vinoth- "manasuku epavume sariah kandupudichudum.. puthi ku athu late ah thaan purium"

Poorani- "enna sola vareenga?"

Vinoth- "nee sapdum pothu yen radhi thideernu bayanthu nadungura nu kaetalla?"

Poorani- "amam... konjam vithyasama irunthathu "

Vinoth- "athukana karanatha unkita solren... unna nambi solren.. "

Poorani looked at him. He started to explain all the things happened to her. He struggled to say that, he gulped his sorrow often while telling. Poorani went near him and touched his shoulders to console him. 

Vinoth- "athuku apuram papa, appa kita pona kooda bayanthu nadunguva.".. Poorani too shed tears thinking about that. 

Vinoth- "ava pakathula vitathu enaium mapla-yaium matum thaan thaan.. ava romba thairiya sali ma.. aana, athuku apuram light off kooda payantha... kanna moodi thoonga kooda bayantha.. kanavula kooda avaluku athe sambavam varum... avaloda vali, ava thavippu, ava katharal ellathaium pakathula irunthu paathom naanga..ava enga madila thaan paduthu thoonguva... bed la paduthaa kooda enga kaiah iruka pudichupaa... enga rendu peruku naduvula thaan padupa... ava rendu vaarthai pesa 3 masam aachu.. ava satharanama pesa 1 varushame agiduchu... naanga pathupathu valatha devathai bayanthu bayanthu velila vantha.... antha nodi vethanai...", his voice shivered, his eyes shed tears.. 

Poorani sobbed on hearing that but hugged him like a mother, patted him and consoled him. Poorani made him to sat in the bed and hugged him gently to console him. After a while,

Vinoth- "thanks."

Poorani- "hmm"

Vinoth- "apuram rendu perum gym poga arambichom.. ava kaneer ku muthal karama naanga pathathu naanga week ah irunthathu thaan... apuram veri thanama padichom, state ranks vanthom.... kuttyma mathiri pathika pata pala kulanthaigala pathi velila pesa vachom... engalala mudincha changes kondu vanthom..", he composed himself and shared with her in a normal tone. 

Poorani- "great boss. nee oru visayatha pakura vitham enaku romba pudichuruku.. ". Poorani was keenly listening and said with genuine happiness.

Vinoth- "abusive situation la irukura kulanthaigala save pana oru blog onnu create panom, athula neraiah informations add panom.. ella area laium irukura police station numbers, child care numbers ellam collect pani add panom.. nanga rendu perume game programmers.

Poorani furrowed her eyebrows. 

Vinoth- " atha control panra id naanga thaan. atha adiga neram naan thaan handle panuven... id name 'a soul voice'.. athavathu kaneer oda irukura pathikka patavangala kapatha thudikura oru soul oda voice.. "

Poorani eyes widened and mouth opened in shock. Vinoth left out a long breathe.

Poorani- "Guru", Vinoth nodded his head. 

Vinoth- "unkita maraikanum nu naan ninaikala... anaiku una veetuku vanthu kootitu varum pothu thaan una muthal thadava pathen.. apo nee pesina varthai ah vachu thaan nee scientist ah irupionu thonuchu... anaike naanga chennai poitom, apo unta message panum pothu nee than confirm paniten.. ". Poorani is still looking at him with shock.

Vinoth- "please, naan una yemathanum nu ninaikala.. papa ku theria koodathu nu thaan unkita solala.. ava ellam maranthutu iruka... avaloda pathibu nama ninaikuratha vida adhigam.. ipo kooda avlo easy ah avala marriage life ah start pana mudiathu..."

Poorani- "yen athula enna problem". Vinoth explained what Sathya explained them. Poorani is shocked by his words.

Vinoth- "Enaku unoda help venum.. unaku okay na enaku message pannu..", He then wrote his number in a paper and said, " Thanks.. Machan thavira enoda alugai ah yarum pathathu illa... ipo nadantha ethaium Radhi kita solidatha..  Naan ipo inga ellathaium sonathu scientist ah yematha koodathunu thaan... Help kekurathukaga illa.... Naan..."

Poorani- "Guru... Nee ivlo solanum nu avasiyame illa.. enaku puriuthu... nee anaiku ena save panalaina naan naai-ku meals aagirupen. nee help nu kekanum nu avasiyamae illa... enna solrio atha senjudalam... Nee ketale naan no solamaten, athulaium Radhi kaga kekum pothu epadi marupen. "

Vinoth smiled and said, "Thanks scientist.. Ippo Madhan konjam konjam ah nerunga arambika poraan. avalala engakita share pana mudiathatha kooda unkita share panuva... apuram namma atha discuss pani enna panalam nu decide panikalam...  unaku ethavathu solanuma?"

Poorani- "Guru naan unna nerla papaen nu ninaikave illa.. athulaium ithe family la nee irupa nu sathyama expect panala.. I am very very happy... "

Vinoth giggled and said, "okay nerachu.. apuram pesalam... good night, bye"

Poorani- "bye Guru". He went. 

Poornai mind voice- "ivar thaan Guru vaa... ivara ellam correct pana mudiuma? namaku irukura moolaiya vachukitu arrange marriage ah valurathe kastam... ithula love marraige ellam epadi? kastam kastam.."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Vinoth came to his room and started to think about the conversation he had with Madhan. Few hours before, Madhan and Vinoth stood near a tree in the garden..

Madhan- "Machan, nee ipadiye neratha kadathaama poorani kita pesu.."

Vinoth- "illa Mapla, enaku ithu, ava epadi eduthupa nu.. ellathukum mela ipo ava en thangatchi friend da..."

Madhan- " Radhi kooda thaan enaku friend oda thangatchi..." 

Vinoth- "dei.. summa ootatha daa.... apadi paatha mamaku amma-vum thangatchi thane nu solluva. .."

Madhan- "dei en appa thangatchiah ethukitathu, friend oda wife ah... Naan wife ah akinathu friend oda sister ah.... appa , mama athai nu ivanga moonu perukum bond form aga reason ae love thaan... But namaku apadi illa... Namma moonu perukume matha ella feeling um irunthathu, strong ah friendship irunthathu.. apuram thaan love ah develop aachu.."

Vinoth- "anna ......"

Madhan- "aana nu malupatha.. radhi yen ava lova ah unkita share panala? namma friendship break agida koodathu nu thaan. ithulaye therialaya?"

Vinoth- "enamo en kaila thaan ellam irukun-ra mathiri solra?"

Madhan- "illaya pinna... parents othukitalum othukalainalum.... unaku okay illaina kandipa intha kalyanam nadanthirukathu... yosi daa.. nee samathicha piragu thaan intha kalyaname nadanthathu... ipo sollu.. ava enaku friend oda thangatchi thaane?"

Vinoth just hummed. He is true, If he said 'no' on the marriage day, they will stop that. Even for Arun, they didn't started the marriage preparation till Vinoth said okay. Madhan become muted at that time, he neither accepted not denied. After Vinoth said okay, Madhan too joined him in arrangements. Vinoth said okay only after considering the health condition of Radhi and also he is not sure about the bond between Radhi and Madhan. At that point, Vinoth believed his parents and they did their best to convince him. Even after they decided Madhan as a groom, they asked Vinoth decision.

Madhan- "ennada yosikura?"

Vinoth- "epadi antha psycho ku okay sonen nu thaan... naan thappa mudivu eduthuten la.."

Madhan- "illa da, antha time la kooda, nano illa radhio enga manasula enna irukunu unkita solala.. oru vela soliruntha nee support panirupa... nanum friend oda thangatchi ah thappa ninaika koodathu nu thaan muthalla konjam thayangineen, apuram purinchukiten.... Machan, enga mounam epadi oru situation la vanthu ninuchunu unake theirum... Neeyavathu poi pesu da.. "

Vinoth- "Mapla, edutha udane epadi daa pesa?"

Madhan- "sari naan oru idea kodukuren..". He told his idea. 

Vinoth- "aga motham nee un visayathula kuriah iruka.... engala sethu vaika plan panra mathiri, nee un kariyathaium nadathikura ..... yebba dei.."

Madhan- "dei, Poorani help illamaleyae enala Madhi ah sari pana mudium... ipo namma project delivery agiduchu, inum 4 months support work matum thaan irukum... perusa work irukathu... radhi kita call, message nu avala naan week days la sari panuven. weekend inga vanthu seenduven.. aga motham ena thavira vera ninaipe illama paniduven.."

Vinoth- "apuram enna panuva... epadium poorani help venumla.."

Madhan- "athuku apuram accident agiduchu, kaal la fracture nu fake certificate koduthutu, work from home nu six months ku permission vaangi veetuke vanthudiven... weekend vanthu vanthu panra en thollaiah, apuram all time panuven ava kita.. intha time pothum enaku ava cure panna..."

Vinoth- "ada sandala, epo da plan panna ithellam?"

 Madhan- "athellam pakka plan la thaan iruken... enaku poorani help thevaye illa... but ava kita help ketu thaan neum avalum close aga mudium.. engala vachu close agitu, apuram neenga unga life ah paarunga.."

Vinoth left out a long breathe and hummed. 

Madhan- "all the best daa...", he mocked.

Vinoth- "verupethatha, pakki". They went to their homes.

Vinoth smiled at himself and messaged Madhan as "first step done". Madhan replied him with a shoe image and a angry face. Vinoth then looked at the clock, realized his mistake and giggled.

The next day, All four youngsters started to Chennai. Elders bid-bye to them and then assembled in hall. 

Sathya- "nethu naan garden pakam ponen.. appo Madhan-um Vinoth-um pesinatha ketaen.. Madhan, Vinoth ku idea koduthutu irunthaan."
