Despite her decision to return to college, Sivaangi is anxious about the atmosphere there. She isn't bothered by anything when Ashwin is around, that much is true. But after that, she had to go to her classroom by herself.

These things are running in her mind and she didn't notice that their vehicle entered the college.

Ashwin- "Sivaangi ma"

Sivaangi- "hmm"

Ashwin- "ippadiye iruka enakum asai thaan, but college vanthiruchu. konjam iranguriah?"
(Even I love to be like this, But we reached college. Can you get down?)

Sivaangi quickly analyzed the surrounding and got down. But still she didn't reacted much for his comment.

Ashwin- "nervous ah iruka?" (Are you nervous?)

Sivaangi- "hmm, veerappa kilambi vanthuten. ippo konjam... (Hmm, I boldly came here, But now I feel like...)", she was interrupted by someone calling her name loudly. Both turned to look at her, Madhumitha, Her classmate.

Madhumitha- "Sivu, nee college vanthutiah, super po.. Good Morning Sir."
(Sivu, Did you started coming to college? Super. Good Morning Sir)

Ashwin- "Good Morning"

The trio stood silent.

Madhumitha- "Sir, naan basic ah konjam makku. ippo naan ungakita naan pathukaren neenga kavalapadatheenga nu Sivu va kootitu ponuma illa, Neenga rendu perum pesitu vanganu naan munadi poren nu naan mattum pogunuma Sir, enaku theriala. Nalla yosichuten"
(Sir, Basically I am a dumb person. I don't know if I should say something like, "Don't worry, I'll take care of Sivaangi," and then leave with her, or if I should say something like, "You two will come after your chat, I'll take a leave," and then go. Despite giving this some careful thinking, I am bewildered by the possibilities.)

Sivaangi laughed at her.

Ashwin smiled and said, "ippo atha thaan yosicheengala?" (Did you think about this now?)

Machumitha- "Yes, Sir... athaan maithiah irunthen" (Yes Sir, That's why I am silent.)

Ashwin- "Sivaangi ma, nee kilambu. Break la staff room vaa." (Sivaangi, you leave. Come to the Staff room at the break time.)

Sivaangi just nodded. Madhumitha and Sivaangi started to their classroom while Ashwin left for the Staffroom.

Everyone on the way gave a warm smile to Sivaangi, which confused her more.

Madhumitha- "enaku intha kannapathe kandupudikurathu ellam theriathu paa, neeyae ketru"
(I don't know to find the meaning by looking at eyes. Better you ask me.)

Sivaangi- "illa ellarum ippo romba friendly ah sirikuranga thideernu, nala iruku analum konjam confusion ah iruku"
(Everyone are giving a friendly smile to me. It is good but I am confused why.)

Madhumitha- "ellam Ashwin Sir nala thaan" (Because of Ashwin Sir)

Sivaangi- "avara?" (He?)

Then Madhu played her the video that was recorded on the day that everyone gathered in the auditorium to ask to remain in the college rather than leaving it.

Sivaangi is unsure about how to respond. With his eyes blazing from blood, he nearly roared . She had never seen him so enraged before.

Madhu- "avar avlo pesina piragu yaravathu marama irupangala? ippo ellam yarum adhigama purali pesurathu illa, avar thirumbi vantha sentha pothum nu irunthathu ellarukum."

(We changed because of him. Now a days no one is gossiping much. We are just waiting for his return.)

Sivaangi- "intha video" (This video...)

Madhu- "number koduma, udane anupidaren, aama en peru theriuma?"
(Give me you number I will send. Do you know my name? )

Sivaangi smiled sheepishly.

Madhu- "en peru Madhumitha, Madhu nu koopduvanga. Un class than ma aana last bench."
(My name is Madhumitha. People call me Madhu. I am in your class but last bench student.)

Sivaangi - "athu therium, unga peru matum thaan theirathu"
(I know that, But I am unaware of your name)

Madhu- "mariatha ellam vendam pa, nanum un vayasu than"
(Don't be so respectful. We will be of same age.)

Sivaangi nodded her head.

They reached their class, and automatically Sivaangi went to the last bench with Madhu.

Madhu- "nee enna inga vara?" (Why are you coming here)

Sivaangi- "unkooda utkara" (to sit with you)

Madhu- "nee ellam nalla padikura ponnu ma, nee en pinnadi vara?"
(You are a good Studying student, Why are you coming here)

Sivaangi- "Enaku un kooda utkaranum. (I wish to sit with you)", she replied with a pleading look.

Madhu- "sari utkaru, aana onnu, nee enna padika solla koodathu, nee venum na padichuko"
(Okay sit, But one condition, You should not force me to study. You can study if you wish)

Sivaangi - "haan sari, okay"

They both started to get close within few minutes. Of course Madhu only talked much. Sivaangi liked her so much and felt very comfortable with her.

In the break, Sivaangi went to the Staff room with Madhu

Ashwin- "vaa ma, ellam okay va ma? illa oru mathiria iruntha veetuku poo, Nan pathukaren inga. Nee romba stress panikatha"
(Come, Everything is fine? If you feel uncomfortable you can go home, I will take care here. Don't stress yourself.)

Sivaangi- "illanga, enaku okay than. In fact ellarum friendly ah than pakuranga, yarum romba different ah behave panala. Munadi mathiri comfortable ah iruku"
(No, I am fine. Everyone are friendly here. No one is treating me differently. I feel comfortable like before.)

Ashwin- "apuram notes ku ellam yar kita ketruka" (Then for notes, to whom you asked?)

Sivaangi- "madhu vaangi tharen nu solita" (Madhu will get it for me.)

Ashwin- "assignments?"

Sivaangi- "Madhu vodathu koduthuruka, veetla poi eluthanum, ellame submit pananum" (Madhu gave me hers. Need to write in home and submit everything.)

Ashwin- "nee matum vanthiruka, Madhu enga?" (Only you are here. Where is Madhu?)

Sivaangi- "velila iruka" (Outseide.)

Ashwin- "koopdu ma (Call her)", Sivaangi called her and Madhu came in.

Madhu- "Good Morning Sir"

Ashwin- "neenga pathukaren nu solitu en veliyave nikureenga?"

Madhu- "Sivu free ah pesatume nu thaan sir."

Ashwin and Sivaangi smiled.

Ashwin- "Thanks"

Madhu- "ungalukaga illa Sir, anaiku neenga pesinapo en thappu purinchathu. apove Sivu kooda ini nalla pesanum nu niachen, but Sivu enkooda nalla friend agita. So ini kandipa nalla pathupen."
(Not for you Sir. That day when you spoke I understood my mistake. So I decided to be friendly with Sivaangi. She too accepted me and we became friends. Hereafter I will take care of her.)

Ashwin- "naan athuku thanks solala" (I didn't thanked for that.)

Madhu- "apuram ethuku sir?" (Then for what?)

Ashwin- "nee basic ah nalla padikura ponnu, aana pidivathama padika matikura. athe pola unkooda friend ah iruka try panna ellaraium avoid pani thanimaila iruka. I am sure that you are behaving like this because of your personal problems. But inaiku un circle la irunthu velila vanthu Sivaangi-ya ethukitu iruka, athukaga thanks. Una nee mathikitathukaga thanks."
(You are basically a good student, but you adamantly didn't studied well. Likewise, you avoid everyone who tried to be friend with you and alone. I am sure that you are behaving like this because of your personal problems. But now you came out of your circle and accepted Sivaangi. Thanks for that. Thanks for changing yourself.)

Madhu looked at him surprisingly.

Ashwin- "neenga rendu perume polam, ethavathu venumna sollu Sivaangi ma"
(You both can leave. Come to me in need, Sivaangi ma.)

Sivaangi nodded in agreement.

In lunch time, Ashwin went to the canteen to observe Sivaangi and Madhu.

While eating her lunch and enjoying Madhu's jokes, Sivaangi is giggling. In order to send to the Sivaangi brothers, Ashwin took a picture of that grouping Madhu. Looking at the image, Raju and Rakshan both smiled broadly. In that image, Rakshan also gave Madhu his whole attention.

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

At the evening, Sivaangi and Ashwin returned home from college. Everyone are present in home, including Raj and Rakshan.

Ashwin- "Ennada seekrama vanthuteenga?" (Why you came so early today?)

Rakshan- "papa ku neriah assignments irukumla athaan eluthi kodukalam nu vanthutom" (Sivaangi might have more assignments, we came to finish it.)

Ashwin facepalmed and went inside.

Raju- "avan kidakuran, nee vaan papa. Ena nadanthathu?" (Leave him. You came here. What happened today?)

Sivaangi began to go through everything with them while also showing them the video. Rakshan and Raju grinned at the fresh information.

Sivaangi- "ivlo thaan reaction ah?" (That's it?)

Raju- "papaa, avan un visayam naale vera mathiri mariduvaan" (Sissy, He will behave differently in your matter.)

Rakshan- "ippo varaikum avan yarukum mariyathai kodukama pesinathu illa, unaku mariyathai kodukurathu illa" (Up to this point, he has shown respect to everyone, but not to you.)

Raju- "ellarukum suggestion thaan soluvaan, unaku matum thaan avan decision edupaan"(He will offer advice to others, but he will make decisions for you.)

Rakshan- "He is not expressive but unkita matum thaan avan unarvugala veli paduthuraan" (He is not expressive but he expressed himself to you.)

Sivaangi nodded her head in understanding.

Later, Jai ram and Malini went for walking. Raju and Rakshan are writing assignments. Seetha and Ashwin is cooking dinner whereas Sivaangi is playing with Jeevan. Seetha will often come and serve them juice in between.

Sivaangi- "ellarum vaanga ellarum vaanga, Jeevan nadakuran sevutha pudichukitu" (Come here everyone, Jeevan is walking with the help of the wall.)

Everyone rushed there.

Sivaangi- "Raju anna nee video edu, thangam nee photo edu (Raju brother, you take video and Thangam you take photos of him.)", they both did as per her words. Ashwin too took photos.

Sivaangi- " Jeeva kanna vaa ma", She called but Jeevan laughed and shook his head as no.

Rakshan opened his palms widely when all of a sudden Jeevan broke into a big smile and started to move towards him in adorable baby steps. Jeevan reached him by shouting "appa". Rakshan gave him a bear embrace while crying joyful tears.

Everyone grinned contentedly as Raju captured this scene on camera. To mark the occasion, Seetha cooked dessert. Soon, Jai Ram and Malini joined as well.

At night,

Raj- "inum oru assignment mattum iruku papa, Rakshan oru call vanthiruku nu poirukan" (Still one assignment is pending. Rakshan is on call.)

Malini- "saptu eluthikalam" (Write that after dinner.)

Each person ate dinner. After supper, Raju and Rakshan headed to their rooms to work on laptops because they both had urgent work to complete. Sivaangi exhaled deeply as she stared at the upcoming task.

She was mocked by Jai Ram, who then began writing assignment for her after taking her papers. Sivaangi thanked him and gave him a joyful hug.

Ashwin- "Sivaangi ma, avangalala elutha matum thaan mudium, nee than padikanum. avanga elunitha assignments ah oru thadava read pannitu thaan thoonganum" (Sivaangi ma, You can have it written by them. You must, however, study. Read through those assignments once before going to bed.)

Sivaangi nodded with a get caught look.

As soon as Jai Ram concluded the assignments , he began talking to Ashwin about welfare. To read the assignments, Sivaangi went to her room. She wanted to jot down some quick notes while she read. She looked for the tiny note she always carried with her while studying. She searched everywhere including Ashwin's shelf and cupboard for that note, and she found some diaries hidden deep inside.

In the first page itself it had, "Ennavalukku en idhayathin vaarthaigal" (Words from bottom of my heart to my soulmate.)

Randomly she took a page which had,

"Ini appa amma nra vaarthai ye en valkaila illainu naan mudivu paniten. Athuku apuram naan yaraiu apadi koopdurathu illa. apadi kootu naan yaraium kastapadutha virumbala"
(From now on, I shall never refer to anyone as "dad" or "mom." I halted. No one should suffer as a result, in my opinion.)

Randomly she flip to the other page,

"En valvil anaithai enra varthai arthamatru ponathu unnal. Pala uravugalum oru alagiya kudumbamum kidaithathu unnal" (Because of you, the word "orphan" has lost any meaning. Because of you, I now have a cute family and relationships.)

She took another diary and flipped to a random page and read.

"entha uravum en valkaila nilaikama poguthu ma, yaaru sontham kondadinaalum enna vitu pirinchudaranga. ipo ellam bayama iruku marupadium naan anathai agiduveno nu" (Relationships in my life have never lasted. Everyone with whom I had a relationship has moved on. I'm worried about being an orphan once more these days..)

All of these diaries were taken by Sivaangi and hidden in her cupboard. She grinned broadly as she thought about how reading that diary would help her discover new methods to show her love for him by granting his requests.

She doesn't know, however, that it is not difficult, but rather practically impossible, to fulfil his wishes.
