Karan and omi got ready and came downstairs..

Omi : chalein?

Sreetu : haan bhai..

Teju started her recording..

Teju : so, humare saath ek aur celebrity hai..he is the MTV'S king.. Karan kundrra..

Teju showed Karan..

Karan : Omi, ye kya karri hai?

Omi : Karan, she is shooting for her vlog..

Karan : oh.. 😯

Teju : Karan, say hi..

Karan : hello guys.. 😀

Tm : pothum Teju, late aaguthu polam ( bass teju, chalte hein late hora hai)

Teju : haan..

Teju had already called Nisha and asked her to bring her car. Nisha brought her car, and all the elders came with Nisha, while the remaining all came with Teju.

Karan went near her as she was recording for her vlog

Karan : Laddoo, give me the key.. 🔑

Teju : key? Kiska? 🤨

Karan : gaadi ka.. I am going to drive..😎

Teju : no way, I am giving my car keys to you..

She turned the opposite..

He knew that she had the keys in her bag. So, Karan went behind her and took those keys slowly without being noticed.

Teju : so hum sab start karne wale hein..I am so excited.. 😍🤩

Teju turned and went to the driver's seat, holding the phone. but was shocked to see Karan sitting on her place..

Teju : what the hell 😮? how come you are sitting here?

Karan : ainvayi 😎😎

Teju : how did you got my keys? It was in my bag? 😮

Karan : I took them from your bag 👜

Teju : How?

Karan : agar tumara CID investigation hogaya toh kya hum chalein..

Teju : no.. You don't know the routes here..I'll drive..

Karan : chup.. Chap.. Betho..

Teju pouted and went to sit in the front seat. She stopped her recorder and connected Google Maps on her car device.

Sreetu : Teju, hum pehle kahan jaare hein? 🙂

Teju : we have two days, today and tomorrow. So today, let's go to the outskirts of Chennai..

Omi : ok...tell us the place!!

Teju : we are going to Mahabalipuram ..

Karan : Mahabalipuram ? 🧐

Teju : don't tell me you haven't heard about this place 🙄

Sreetu : sach mei hume nhi pata 😅... We only know about the Marina Beach here..
😅😅

Omi : haan..

Teju : koi na.. Aap sab Mumbai vaapas jaane se pehle, Chennai ke bareme full details jaan jaoge.. Karan start..

Karan started driving..

Omi : kitne ghante lagega?

Teju : approx 2 hours...

Sreetu : ohh...

Teju and Sreetu started talking about their experiences, Meanwhile Karan and Omi were listening to them.. Karan connected Bluetooth and played Hindi songs..

They all were singing 🎤 loudly and having fun.. Karan often took glances at Teju and vice versa..

Soon the song changed .. Now the song playing is " Pyaar...Ek tarfa " By shreya ghoshal and Amaal maalik

.•♫•♬•Na maine kuch kaha hai •♬•♫•.
.•♫•♬•Naa usne kuch suna hai •♬•♫•.
.•♫•♬•Yeh khwab toh akele •♬•♫•.
.•♫•♬•Mere aankhon ne buna hai •♬•♫•.

Karan's gaze lingered on Teju as she remained lost in the music, her eyes closed to the world. His eyes, however, spoke volumes of the emotions he harbored, a silent declaration of the love that resided within him. Unfortunately, his unspoken words were like notes unheard in the symphony of the song.🥺

.•♫•♬•Tadap hai sirf meri •♬•♫•.
.•♫•♬•Guroor bas mera hai •♬•♫•.
.•♫•♬•Nahi woh isme shamil•♬•♫•.
.•♫•♬•Kusoor bas mera hai •♬•♫•.

.•♫•♬•Toh kya hua jo haal•♬•♫•.
.•♫•♬•Woh mera nahi samjhta •♬•♫•.

A small tear escaped from the corner of Karan's eye, reflecting the unspoken ache in his heart. 

.•♫•♬•Mera pyaar ek tarfaa•♬•♫•.
.•♫•♬•Mera pyaar ek tarfaa•♬•♫•.
.•♫•♬•Yeh bahaar ek tarfaa •♬•♫•.
.•♫•♬•Mera pyaar ek tarfaa•♬•♫•.

To control his emotions, Karan fixed his gaze on the road, Teju looking at him as the lyrics unfolded.

.•♫•♬Kabhi din dhundhle dhundhle .•♬•♫•.
.•♫•♬•Kabhi dhoop jaisi raatein•♬•♫•.
.•♫•♬•Koyi sarphira hi samjhein•♬•♫•.
.•♫•♬•Yeh sarphiri si baatein •♬•♫•.

She stared at him, admiration and affection evident in her eyes😍😊..

.•♫•♬•Kayi taufe aur duaein•♬•♫•.

.•♫♬•Main fizool bhejti hoon•♬•♫•.

•♬•Uski taraf se khud ko•♬•♫•.
.•♫•♬•Main phool bhejti hoon•♬•♫•.

As he turned to look at her, she diverted her gaze, smiling faintly.

.•♫•♬•Ajeeb sa nasha hai yeh •♬•♫•.
.•♫•♬•Nasha nahi utarta •♬•♫•.

Her heart acknowledged these feelings💘 as love, but her mind hesitated. 💖..Tears welled in her eyes, and she turned towards the window, wiping them away.

.•♫•♬•Mera pyaar ek tarfaa•♬•♫•.
.•♫•♬•Mera pyaar ek tarfaa •♬•♫•.
.•♫•♬•Yeh bahaar ek tarfaa •♬•♫•.
.•♫•♬•Mera pyaar ek tarfaa•♬

Karan stopped the car for signal.. This line hit him more.. He kept looking her through mirror..

.•♫•♬•Abhi kal hi toh mili thi •♬•♫•.
.•♫•♬•Khwabon ke mod par woh•♬•♫•.
.•♫•♬•Bheega tha raat bhar main •♬•♫•.
.•♫•♬•Barsi thi raat bhar woh •♬•♫•.

Memories of their moments, their nok jhok, and him teasing her as "moti" flashed in Karan's mind.😀

.•♫•♬•Jadoo hai ek aisa•♬•♫•
.•♫•♬•Jo main hi jaanta hoon•♬•♫•.
.•♫•♬•Usko chhuye bina bhi•♬•♫•.
.•♫•♬•Uske gale laga hoon•♬•♫•

She noticed him looking at her.. Still kept quite..

.•♫•♬•Abhi uske bina ek pal •♬•♫•
.•♫•♬•Mera kabhi guzarta•♬•♫•.

.•♫•♬•Mera pyaar ek tarfaa •♬•♫•
.•♫•♬•Mera pyaar ek tarfaa•♬•♫•.
.•♫•♬•Yeh bahaar ek tarfaa•♬•♫•.
.•♫•♬•Mera pyaar ek tarfaa•♬•♫•.

At the end, both their eyes met for a second, but she looked away, a hint of turmoil in her gaze.

Omi and Sreetu observed the subtle interplay of emotions between Karan and Teju throughout the song.

Omi and Sreetu's mind : Hume pata hai, ye ek tarfa pyaar nahi hai... par ye dono ko kaun batayega? Ye dono ek dusre ko kitna pyaar karte hain. Par kab dono ek dusre ko batayenge? Karan toh nahi batayega, Teju toh strong hai, uski decision pe. Voh uski maa ka trust ko sochke ye feeling ko ignore karne ki koshish kar rahi hai. Par voh ho nahi pa rahi hai. Hey Bhagwaan, jaldi dono ek dusre ko confess karvaoo, please... 🙏

***************************************

After lunch, they went to Mahabalipuram beach..

Everyone enjoyed dipping their legs in the sea..

Karan took various picks near the shore..

Teju saw a horse 🐎 .. She badly wanted to ride on that.. So she went to Karan..

Teju : Karan, can you record it?.. I am going to ride on horse 🐎 ..

Karan : really.. Chalo do..

She gave her phone to him..Teju ride on a horse 🐎 and Karan was recording it..

While getting down from the horse, her legs slipped .. She was about to fall, but Karan caught her.. Both fell down on the ground.. Karan held her protectively..Her face near his face, there was a few inch gap between their lips, her hand on his shirt near the chest.. His both hands on her waist.. their eyes met each other, expressing how much they love each other..  those feelings 💘are still unsaid.

Hearing the horse's sound, they broke their moment . Teju got up immediately..

Karan : oye.. Kade kade kya karri hai? Help karna..

Karan asked her to help him .. She gave her hand and helped him stand.

Karan : nhi lagi na?

Teju : nhi..

Karan : toh thik hai.. Lo ye pakad ..

Karan gave her phone and walked towards the elders..

Nisha : uncle, let's go.. We have to do our lunch too..Its time for medicine..It's already 3 pm..

Td : Teju kahan hai?

Nisha : uncle.. You take everyone to the parking.. I'll bring Teju..

Nisha moved towards Teju... Teju was still thinking about their moment..

Nisha : Teju, come.. Let's go..

Nisha called her ... After getting no response from her side, she shook Teju..

Nisha : Teju... Where are you lost? Come na.. Let's go and have our lunch..
