Rakshan arrived at the college by car. Madhumitha did everything she could to get away from them, but Sivaangi is quite adamant, therefore Madhumitha has began to travel with Rakshan  They arrived at Madhumitha' s home after she provided the address. There is nobody in the house.

Madhumitha- "utkarunga" (Please be seated.)

Rakshan- "veetla yarum illaya?" (No one is there? )

Madhumitha- "illa, coffee kudikureengala?" (No. Will you drink coffee?)

Rakshan- "illa paravalla. Neenga poi rest edunga, periyavanga vanthathum solitu poren"
(no Its okay, you take rest. I leave leave once the elders arrive.)

Madhumitha-"apadi yarum varamatanga, neenga kilambunga" (Nobody like that is present here. It's okay to go)

Rakshan- "epadi thaniah vitutu porathu?" (How will I leave you alone?)

Madhumitha- "enaku palakam thaan, nan irunthupen" (I am used to it. I can manage)

Rakshan- "munnadi okay, ippo adi patrukulla, ungala yaar pathupanga?" (Possibly before you feel fine. Who will care for you now that you are injured?)

Madhumitha- "apadi yarum inga illa" (Nobody like that is here)

Rakshan- "puriala" (Didn't understand)

Madhumitha- "enaku yarum illa, yarum illa... yarume inga illa. itha vida theliva epadi solrathunu puriala. please neenga kilambunga (There is no one for me. There is nobody, nobody. There are no clearer words I can use than this. If you would, please go.)", she shouted unknowingly

Rakshan just smiled in response. 

Rakshan- "kitchen enga iruku?" (Where is kitchen?)

Madhumitha-"ethuku" (Why?)

Rakshan- "enna numbuneena sollu?" (just say, if you believe me)

Madhumitha- "right side" She gave instructions, and he went and got coffee for them while she assisted. She inquired over coffee, 

Madhumitha- "anga Sir-um Sivaangi um wait panitu irupaanga" (Sir and Sivaangi may be waiting for you)

Rakshan- "nan kilambumpothe papa text panita naanga bike la porom nu" (Sivaangi contacted me as we began that they would depart by bike.)

Madhumitha- "Sir othupara?" (Sir accepted?)

Rakshan- "ungaluku inuma santhegam?" (Do you still have doubt?)

Madhumitha- "illa illa, Sivu ku adi patathum avar totalla vera mathiri pesa arambichutaru. Sir romba soft ah pesi than enaku therium. but inaiku konjam tension ah pesinaru. Principal ta kooda romba direct ah reply panaru" 
(No no. After seeing Sivaangi's wound, he had a complete transformation. I am aware of how gentle he can be. But right now, He's tense and quite direct..)

Rakshan just smiled in response. They had their coffee. 

Rakshan- "ithu enga family photo, sivaangi solirukala nu theriala.. ithu Jeevan enoda paiyan. Ithu Raju, ithu avan wife Malini enaku oru sister mathiri. pregnant ah iruka. Ashwin ah, sivaangi ah unaku therium. apuram ivanga Jai ram appa and Seetha amma. engaluku appa amma mathiri." 
(This is my family photo. This is Jeevan, my son. This is Raju and this is Malini, his wife. Malini is like a sister to me. She is pregnant. You know Ashwin and Sivaangi already. Jai ram and Seetha are like parents to us.)

Madhumitha- "hmm, apadiae Jeevan Sivaangi mathriye irukaan. unga wife?" (Hmm, Jeevan look alike  Sivaangi. Your wife?)

Rakshan- "Maya my wife. She is no more .. ungaluku eppo venumnalum veetuku varalam, naanga ellarume ore veetla thaan irukom. bayam illama varalam. entha help venumnalum thayangama kelunga. itha naan paripathula solala, Sivaangi inga iruntha enna solirupalo atha thaan nan solren"
(Maya, my wife. She is no longer there. You are welcome to come to my home whenever you like. We all share the same home. Nothing to worry about. Please don't hesitate to seek for  assistance. I'm not saying this out of sympathy. simply stated as Sivaangi did.)

Madhumitha- "puriuthu.. sorry konjam tension agiten" (Understood. Sorry, I am little tensed.)

Rakshan- "paravalla pa (Its okay.)", he softly said. 

Madhumitha -"antha photo la irukurathu en appa, amma, apuram intha photo la irukurathu en mama.. avarukkum enakum kalyanam nadakuratha irunthathu.. kalyanathukku mudhal naal ellarum koviluku ponom, appo accident agiduchu. ena thavira ellarum en kannu munnadiye.. ovovruthar uyir porathaium naan pathen", she stared at the photo while speaking. there is no tears in her eyes. 

(The persons in that photo are my parents. The person in this photo is my Mama. We are about to get married. Everyone died in an accident the day before my wedding while travelling to the temple, with the exception of me. I observed everyone's demise.)

Rakshan understood her state completely. 

Rakshan "sorry nga naan.."  (Sorry, I..)

Madhumitha- "illa illa, neenga  parithabapdalainu enaku puriuthu. sollanum thonuchu sonen."
(No No, I understood that you didn't feel pity. I feel like sharing with you.)

Rakshan- "relatives yaaravathu?" (Do you have relatives?)

Madhumitha-" appavum ammavum love panni kalyanam panikitanga. rendu per veetlaium ethukala. so yarum illa. Mama side relatives nan rasi ketava. Nanum mamavum love panom. Romba kastapattu parents ah samathika vachu marriage ku yerpadu paninom. aana..." (My parents were hitched as a result of their love. Parents didn't accept them, unfortunately. Thus, nobody is there to help me. I am a horrible omen for the family of my boyfriend. We are in love. The marriage was arranged after much difficulty persuading our parents. But it was all for nothing.), she left out a long breathe. 

Rakshan stood there not knowing what to do.

Madhumitha- "neramachu kilambunga, Coffee ku thanks." (Its time. You can leave. Thanks for the coffee)

Rakshan- "ungaluku  guardian nu?"  (Who is your guardian then?)

Madhumitha- "amma voda friend oru aunty irukanga, enaku ellame ippo avanga thaan."
(My mothers friend. She will take care of me.)

Rakshan- "avnaga inga illaya?" (Is she not here?)

Madhumitha- "illa delhi la irukanga, adikadi call panni pesuvanga" (She is in Delhi. She will contact me often.)

Rakshan- "sari nga. Naan kilamburen. ithu enoda number ethuvum venumna koopdunga"(Okay, I will leave. This is my number. Call me for any help.)

Madhumitha- "kudunga, but enkita Sivaangi number iruku" (Give, But I have Sivaangi number.)

Rakshan- "papa veetla romba phone paka matta. ethavathu help na koopdunga" (She will not take phone in home. Call me in need.)

Madhumitha- "ok oknga"

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

Ashwin and Sivaangi reached home in Bike. Ashwin is glaring Sivaangi and Sivaangi is smiled at him sheepishly. 

Ashwin- "solrathaye kekurathu illa ne" (You are not listening to me)

Sivaangi- "apadi ellam illanga. oru asai la thaan" (Not like that. I just wished to..)

Ashwin- "paathu nadanthu vaa" (Walk carefully)

Sivaangi- "hmm"

They both went inside and saw everyone are eagerly waiting for them. 

Jai- "first time sevuru eri kuthichuruka intha chocolate (First time you climbed a wall, have this chocolate.) ", He offered Sivaangi a chocolate, which caused her face to beam with joy.

Seetha- "cake pani vachuruken, refresh agitu vaa, sapdalam" ( I prepared cake for you. Refresh yourself, we will have it.)

Malini- "nee egiri kuthichathuku celebration am di" (This is the celebration for your climbing.)

Ashwin shrugged his shoulders, regarded them as aliens, and walked to his room. Sivaangi also proceeded.

Sivaangi- "kovama pogatheenga, enala happy ah iruka mudiala" (Don't be angry. I can't feel the happiness)

Ashwin gave her a stern look before starting his chores. Sivaangi after him and gave him a back hug, but he ignored her. Sivaangi sat on the bed while grumbling. Ashwin briefly glanced her in the corner of his eyes before carrying on with his task.

Sivaangi- "vaathi, romba panatha.. please, epadi una samathana paduthanumnu enaku theriala" (Proof, don't do too much. Please I don't know to convince you.)

Ashwin smiled and sat near her. She hugged him tightly and said, "please kovichukatha vaathi" (Please don't be angry.)

Ashwin- "inaiku un nadukatha kuraika pakalam nu ninachen" (I planned to cure your shivering.)

When Sivaangi heard the statement, she flushed and hid herself.

Ashwin- "ipadi adi patruke, ini onum panamudiathu, onum nadakathu (But It won't happen since you are wounded)", he naughtily said.

Sivaangi- "appo onnum panamudiatha? (There is nothing we can do.)", sShe innocently questioned anxiously

Ashwin- "appo madam ready pola? (Seems like Madam is ready?)", he raised his eyebrow and questioned her. 

As she realised what had happened, Sivaangi enlarged her eyes, blushed, grinned, and timidly covered her faces with her fingers. Her hands were pulled while Ashwin licked her fingertips. She was then given a gentle forehead kiss by him as he lifted her face.

Ashwin- "kavalapadatha inaiku night kandipa undu (Don't worry. It is sure at night.)", She felt a small zoo in her stomach when he murmured in her ears in a base voice.

He smiled contently as he observed his impact on her. As he proceeded to kiss her cheeks, nibble her ears, and journey through his lips, they heard a knock on the door.

Raj- "thangatchi " (sissy)

Ashwin- "intha karadiya" (This bear...)

Sivaangi- "haan, athu en annan" (Haan, That's my brother)

Ashwin grimaced at himself. Sivaangi tried to persuade him by grinning and kissing his cheeks, but they heard it again.

Raju- "paapaa, kathava thora ma.." (Sissy, open the door)

Sivaangi- "itho vanthuten anney (Yeah, coming)", she looked at Ashwin pityfully. 

Ashwin- "odidu dii, manushana verupethama..  (Go away. Don't irritate.)", he replied irritated

Sivaangi grinned, gave Ashwin a brief peck on his lips, and then hurried to the door to open it and welcome his brother, leaving the poor person deeply blushing.

Ashwin- "unna night vachukuren di (I will take care of you at night)", he murmured to himself.

Raju- "enna kal adipattu iruku nu sonna, nee ipadi odi vara?" (She said like there is a wound in leg. But you are running here?)

Sivaangi- "aiyo athu chinna adi thaan anney" (That is very small brother.)

Seetha- "cake sapidalam ellarum vaanga (Come everyone to eat the cake.)", she shouted from the hall.

Everyone gathered and chatted while eating the cake. At that time, Rakshan returned home.

Raju- "enna da antha ponna bathrama vitutu vanthutiah?" (Did you leave her safely?)

Rakshan- "hmm"

Ashwin- "ennachu? yen oru mathiriya iruka?" (What happened? Why are you like this?)

Rakshan explained the happening to them. Sivaangi and Malini started to shed tears hearing that and Seetha consoled them. 

Seetha- "ellathukum alutha aacha? mudhalla kanna thudainga".. Sivaangi and Malini stopped sobbing.  (Don't cry for everything. wipe your tears first.)

Raju- "antha ponna pathina details sollu da (Tell me her details)". Rakshan gave him the details. 

Rakshan appeared different to Ashwin. After a short period of time, everyone left after discussing about Madhu. Rakshan was asked to join Ashwin as he prepared to go for the store. Ashwin stopped in a restaurant and went inside it with Rakshan.

Rakshan- "ennada inga kootitu vanthiruka?" (Why we are here?)

Ashwin- "karanama thaan" (There is a reason.)

Rakshan- "enna pesanum (What?)", they both ordered when the waiter came.

Ashwin- "Madhu va ninachu romba feel panra pola?" (Did you feel do much for Madhu?)

Rakshan- "ennaye pakurathu pola irunthathu" (I feel like looking at myself)

Ashwin- "avlo thana? (That's it?)", he looked at Rakshan keenly.

Rakshan- "vera enna ethir pakura?" (What more do you expect?)

Ashwin- "Malarum ninaivugala machan? (Thinking about the past)" , Rakshan looked at him with shocked expression.

Ashwin- "nee madhu va ninaichu thaan kavalaiya irukanu yaru venalum nambalam aana nan maten." (Only because you feel sorry for Madhu will I accept that you are depressed.)

Tears escaped Rakshan's eyes. Rakshan needed a moment to collect himself, so Ashwin waited.

Rakshan- "maraka mudiala daa" (unable to forget)

Ashwin- "maraka yen muyarchi panra da?" (Why you try to forget?)

Rakshan- "vera enna pana solra? (What else to do?)", he looked at him confused with teary eyes.

Ashwin- "inga paaru machan, ponavangala pathiye yosichu irukuravangala maranthudatha. un santhosam thaan enga ellarukum mukiam. Ne marina thaan maya vum santhosa paduva. unna onnu kekava?"
(Don't constantly consider the left person and ignore us. Your pleasure is important to us. If you alter, Maya will be content as well. Might I ask you a question?)

Rakshan- "kelu" (Ask)

Ashwin- "nee yenkanave oru company start pananum nu try pannala?" (You already tried to start a company right?)

Rakshan- "athellam romba munnadi machan" (That happened long back)

Ashwin- "ippo thirupium pannu, nan support panren" (Try that now, I will support you)

Rakshan- "ippova?" (Now)

Ashwin- "try pannu da, meendu vara oru vali kidaikum." (Try that, you will find a way to recover.)

Rakshan looked at him surprised.

Ashwin- "rathiri thinamum velila poi nadanthute iruka, sapdurathum koranchu pochu. Jeevana tholla vachukitu nee vanatha paathu kaneer vidarapo ullukulla valikuthu machan"
(You spend the entire night walking outside. You don't eat a lot. While you are holding Jeevan and sobbing while gazing up into the sky, it hurts to see you.)

Rakshan- "nee epo?" (When did you...)

Ashwin- " ellam theirum da..Ne mara virumbina itha start pannu. kandipa oru change therium"
(I know everything. If you wish to change then start a company. You will fell that.)

Rakshan- "paakuren daa" (Will try)

Ashwin- "thanks da, sonnathum othukita" (Thanks da. You accepted it rightaway)

Rakshan- "enakaga illa machan, unakaga" (It is not for me. But for you)

Ashwin- "enakagava?" (me?)

Rakshan- "amam da. Maya en valkaila vanthapo nan ellaraium maranthuten. aana nee pala varusham kalichu Sivaangi yoda sernthalum ellar melaium anba akaraiah iruka. enaku unna pola valanum nu asaiah iruku machan"
(Yes. I had forgotten everyone when I began to love Maya. Despite having Sivaangi with you, you continue to love and care for everyone in the house. I'd like to live like you do.)

Ashwin- "sari sari vaa polam" (okay okay, come lets go.)

Rakshan hugged Ashwin tightly and felt like relieved from the sorrows. 

They both started to home, Meanwhile Sivaangi is reading Ashwin's diary in her room.
