Author POV

Parth and Rohan were standing at the beach and reminiscing about the past, they were shocked to see Nivas here that too with friends of Aarav and Anirudh. They knew both will not do anything to safeguard Mira but there is a slight hesitation about their equations in the past.

"Deyh, Parth inda Nivas vandadu seri illa da", Rohan said.

"Aama da, but paatha Machaan and Ani Maaplae evlo close aa irrukanga, adu daan bayama irruku", Parth voiced out his concern.

"Illa da, evan edana kollaprathuku kula namba nejam solrathu  seri aa varum", Rohan replied making Parth nod  denial.

"Loosu apdi panna motah perum odanji poiduvanga, ippatuku Nivas mela kanu vechitu irrukanum, Avan edana overboard pora madri irrunda namba pathukalam", Parth said  after having internal debate on what can be done for the situation.

At Aarav home everything was going fine so far, or that's what it looked to outside, the reality is the friction between Nivas and Mira was now quite visible to everyone but kept quiet about knowing it is something they both should clarify.

The nightmare is infront of her making her impossible to breath with so much in running in head and heart filled with so much emotions.

It's around October and whole 2 month from when Nivas entered the house and his presence only making Mira loose her calmness and put her in misery.

She felt like walking in glass, a wrong move and everything will fall apart.

Aarav also noticed everything and tried his level best to make her vocal about the things she is thinking but to his demisal she didn't uttered a word, she realised that if she says the past everything will be much more difficult than now.

Nivas who just in his anger didn't realise that his subtle taunt made an impact to broke someone so apart, for him it's right to get punished for wrong you do but he failed to notice that the perception and truth are like two twins, when everyone thinks that the one who did mischief and get punished but reality can be that the other one did the deed and another had savor the fruit, whatever he perceived was from what he saw but the truth is something which can even break him apart.

One evening at the hall all were having gala time with Pack together it make it the large commodity to uphold for the house but alas that's what we call family.

Nivas who was looking at the door frequently like his life depend on it.

"Nivas ennada anda door side ee pathutu irruke, eduna parcel vara poguda enna", Ahaana asked whole cutting fruits for everyone.

"Illa maa, oru information or proof to make everything clear", he vaguely replied amd looked at the door.

All were confused expect Mira, Parth and Rohan. They were scared of what Nivas had been planned and by looking at his face they are pretty sure it's anything good for them.

The dong sound made everyone turn their head toward the door to see a person with some papers or like that sort of parcel.

Nivas happily went towards him and got it and started opening it with smile but it turned sad when he looked into it and then his expression changed to furious.

He went towards the table and smashed it while turning to Aarav and Ani said, " As I told, ava pakka mattum daan innocent anda time na silent aa ponadhu ku reason vandu en kita proof illa but ippo irruku, she is anything but innocent".

"Ennada solre puriyra madri sollu ", Aminesh said making all nod in agreement.

"Mira oh sorry Samira Krishnan or Samira Aarav Kumar is anything but a beautiful lie, she a damn murderer", Nivas started in soft voice but shouted at the end making all gasp.

" Nalla joke panre da", Aahaana said but looking at his face her inside turned.

"Naa eduku joke pananum, neengale anda photos paarunga aunty", he told to Ahaana and pointed at the thing he smashed few moments back.

All nodded in denial and saying that whatever it may be either edited that he is believing or something like that making his anger raise.

"Shut up, just shut up, Naanum paathute irruke, fine you are saying that it can be photo edited then yen innum oruthar kuda poi adah paakle, you guys deep down do know that she can do that in her reckless, and why I am behaving like this to her adu daane next question so let me tell you once I had so much care and love for her but the thing she did to the person avlo daan ellatiyum odachita, naa ava mela vecha paasam trust ellame odachitu engayo poita", Nivas screamed and then sat down at thud, the tears continuosly flowed from his eyes.

All looked him with pitty but they were confused why he is saying like that. Ahaana with shakky hands took the package and opened it which held some pics, letters and a locket of half heart. She gasped looking at the locket, it the same locket which Mira wore regardless whether it mat he'd her outfit or not.

She looked at pictures and stood still, if it isn't Aminesh and Ani she would have fallen in ground, they made her sit in the lounge and then saw the pictures and they also went to shock.

One by one all saw the pictures and everyone in the same state with mind full of confusion.

Parth and Rohan knew that it's high time the truth to be revealed before it plays with their Miru's life but didn't knew how to start.

Ani looked at Aarav with sad look and moved towards him and said," deyh, poi oru vaati paaru aprom enna nenaikre nu sollu".

Aarav took a deep breath and went towards the table and started to see the pictures, it shown how his Mira is laughing with a person and how she is comfortable with him, he further proceed and saw him in proposing posture to a girl and his Sira smiling behind and giving him a bookey of stinking flowers than rose, he smiled seeing her cute antics. Then he saw another picture of her sitting in ground with the person bleeding and in the position she was it seems she was chocking him, and next was she was runing while looking behind in hurry.

Aarav then took the letters, it seemed that it belonged to a boy and by looking the scenerio he was sure it belonged to the person. He started reading it,' deyh Nivas, naa nenakave illa naamba Chièré ipdi panuva, ava daan Rajini kita poi enna pathi edo solli  break up panna vechi irruka, I don't know eduku but it's so unsettling, edo onnu idikudu and iniku kuda edo pesanum nu solli kuptu irruka,naa poi paathutu enna vishayam nu ketutu varen adu veraikum please veedu naasti panni vekade da.
Ps- unoda fav honey chicken fridge la irruku poi saapdu
Bye
Shiv', reading it many things came to his mind like what is happening and why so,he turned to see his Sira looking pale as milk. He can sense her insecurities kicking in but that doesn't mean she can hide something like this big and take allegations thrown at her.

He walked to her and jutted her chin to look into his eyes and asked, " Nee edana tappu paniya maa Nivas solra madri".

Sira with tears in her eyes said, " Illa mama, adu...",she didn't say further when he kept his finger on her lips indicating her to stop. Looking into his eyes she saw only concern and pure love nothing else.

He turned to all and said in loud voice," Mira innocent daan, I don't know what happened with the whole scenario but I trust her words more than this bloody things, and I know my Sira she can't do something grave like this".

"Deyh unaku puriyutha illaya, Shiv oda last letter ava kita pesa pora nu sollitu ponna amd next day he was found murdered in a cost side and last aa pesnadhu eva kita daan, then who you think can do something like this", Nivas shouted in anger.

"Then nee yen da innum police kita polla, avaanga kita poi evaluku dandhanai vaangi kuduka vemdiyadhu daane", Aarav restored.

"Epdi da poga mudiyum epdi anda Loosu ku daan eva na romba pudikume, anda paradesi promise vangitu daane ponna that we will be with her and protect her no matter what happens, kadaisile avan illa but avnoda promise mattum irruku, police kuda evidence and motive illa nu case close panitanga, after that only I got this pictures aand them my whole world just collapsed, and till now I am carrying the baggage of it, epdi daa avanuku apdi panitu eva inga edavum nadakada madri sandoshama irruka", he shouted in agony.

All stood rooted at their place listening to him and confusion came over everyone.

Parth came forward to Mira said, " Papa, ippo aavdu nee unmai aa solluidu,anga paaru Anna evlo misunderstanding la irrukaru, iduku Mella enna aaga podu, please da ellarukum unmai sollidu".

She felt another hand press her shoulder and turned to see Rohan giving her assuring smile. Taking a deep breath shee looked at surrounding.

Nivas also got confused when he heard Parth and now looking at Mira with curiosity.

Mira looked at everyone and started saying  her past

Flashback

After the schooling Mira opted for Bachelor in digital art course which was provided only in Chennai. Even though Aahaana and Aminesh didn't want to send her there as recently Aarav also left them but didn't want to hold Mira to achieve her dreams, they said yes.

Pack also got admission for degrees and post degrees in Chennai itself but different colleges.

Mira always wanted to pursue something which makes her happy than following the mass. Even though she was bold for her age but inside she is the same teenage girl with her set of insecurities and adjustments with life.

Looking in front she saw a magnificent gate with the college name and symbol which just screamed classy and decoile. Taking deep breath she said," Miru this is it, finally you are going to start something new for you, inda vaati no emotion from past, this is your second chance, give 100 percent on everything you do, make your Atthai Mama , Anna, Akka and Aarav Mamz proud, idhu verikum irundadhe vida you have to be more careful here, don't worry you will make new friends".

After the pep talk she took a step forward and entered inside, there she saw manay people divided in groups and smiling while some just chasing and running here and there, but one particular area was crowded she went there and saw few people ragging freshers and it looked like even freshers enjoyed it, listening to all his Anna about college and seeing this she got confused and stood there to see what exactly happening.

"Okay, deyh thakali chedi podum podum unoda coimbatore kusumbu nee po poi Canteen la irrundu unaku enna venumo vangi saapudu, edana ketanga na Shiv account la ezhuda sollu", a boy with cute dimple said while others smirked at him and smiled at the fresher to go.

The sudden smack in the cute boy made him growl and turn to see an handsome boy behind him with scowl adorned in face and said, " Unaku romba kozhupu da, edo Cafeteria enodaa appa du madri shiv oda account nu sollre".

"SHIV, poda edo unoda perula puniyam seklam paatha ipdi panre", the cute boy said.

"Enna Puniyam Nivas, seri vidu anda paiyan nalla skit panna avana nambloda Drama team kita solli approach panna sollu", Shiv said and turned to see a girl in simple blue jean and white formal shirt with hair pulled up and small black bindi adorned her forehead but what made him attract was her cute smile and innocence in her face. They say eyes are windows to soul and he can see unknown void emotion contrary to the cheerful aura she carry.

He pointed at the girl and said, " umm white shirt ponnu ingaa vaa ma".

Mira got goosebump when Shiv motioned her to come forward taking deep breath, she came forward and stood infront of the crowd.

"Okay fresher nu paatale teriyudu so ungla pathi sollunga", a girl from the senior smiling said encouraging.

Mira smiled as she was about to start, she was interupted by another girl, " hey guys let's make it more interesting, ummm neenga unga family la irrundu ellarayum imitate panni sollanum like unga per oruthar madri unga qualification oruthar madri and so on is it okay and others have to guess the relation, now start".

All got enthusiastic and encouraged her to start. Chuckling Mira started," ennunga ungluku endha peru teriyadhu, nanga daan ga Coimbatore Jamin oda onu vita chitti oda 2 avdu perima oda kadaisi payan oda chinna akka oda ponnu Samira Krishnan, ippo kuda puriyale na kitta edana hospital le poi unga manadaya kaatunga, solliputen aama", she ended the line imitating Aminesh who mostly uses these type of stuffs while talking to her.

The crowd bursted out in laughter listening and seeing her antics, a girl with full curly hair from the seniors clapped her hair and said to go further.

" Ungluku la konja kuda manasachi illa, ipdi oru chinna ponnu kuptu enga padiche nu kekringa, obviously naa best school with best teacher in Coimbatore St Mary's Memorial daan padiche", she imitated Aishu followed by her family and friends thus completing at the end

This just filled everyone with laughter and thus making her presence prominent to everyone. Shiv finally asked," ok so Samira first time engala paathu irruking oru oruthurathu oru Peru kudukanum looking at the appearance na enna kudupinga, it can be from anyone from here, and ya you can choose seniors like us as well".

Now everyone was curious on this chirpy girl what she going to say. Mira knew what she will do for this as already she had given nicknames to some out here.

" First of all seniors ellarukum onnu sollikre Ennaku ekanave aalu irrukanga so neenga ellarume Anney so no hard feelings, okay", she started which made made boys sigh and muttering," evalum committed","adu epdi da ponnunga mattum correcta commit aaidunga", "namaku luck illa kumaruu".

Pointing towards Shiv she started," neenga Thenga Anney", making all root in place while his friends were shocked to see a girl directly insulting their friend.

"Edhey, enna maa vandu oru 15 min pesi irrupoya seniors konja friendly irrunda ipdi pesuviya enna, manners illa", Nivas angrily said.

Oblivious to the reason she responded," neenga daane nickname solla sonninga, Shiv Anna pakka macho man madri irrundalaum ulla romba sweet, naan Inga Vanda appo kuda neenga avru per sollu daane oruthar aa poga sonninga appah kuda anney ungla onnume sollaliye same like Thenga it's so hard in outer but inside it's so soft and full of health", ending with her eyecomic confusion posture like recalling if something she missed.

All went owe at her, here they thought she is rebel but she was only cute, Nivas also felt bad for his behaviour so he wanted to say sorry but Shiv stopped him and with eyes 'let it be'.

After regaining from her trance she looked at the group looking at her with affection and love. She got into her blushing looking at this much attention.

Shiv came forward and tenderly patted her head and said," nee kuda sema special maa, just like Chérié".

Mira was so clueless about being called herself a Chérié and pouted at Shiv," Anney enaku strawberry pudikum adu kuda kupdunga but Chérié yen".

All were equally puzzled with this and looking him for explanation. Shiv started," Chérié tree when it blooms na it's said that it is a celebration of life, it shows true colours, it  blossom on its own and it always remembers its roots, unna madriye so nee enaku chérié", he completed with serene smile.

Mira who had always experienced the love of brothers felt that the love from Shiv is something she can never expect, it's more or like father love she craved.

She looked up Shiv with upmost love and care and smiled and said, " Anna".

Flashback end

All the people present in hall were very much emotional and happy that she met someone like Shiv in her life and the care she had for shiv was evident in her voice.

Nivas also chuckled listening to this and said, " aniku mattum nee varale ma enga life la I would had never lost my best friend, he took every damn thing just to protect you there , oruthar unna paathi tappa pesna podum Avan epdi avangala vaai adakuvaan teriyuma, and what you gave a broke up with his 7 years of love and his death, romba nalla irrupe maa", and ended up again shooting daggers in Mira.

She just took all the things he thrown at her silently because once the whole truth is known he can't hold himself and she need to be strong enough to get him back and help him out because she was once in the same situation like him but for her there was her family but for him it's always Shiv and now she know she had to be there for him.

You will never understand
the damage
you did
to
someone
until
the same thing
is
done to you.

Hello Chakarakattis 😍

Hope everyone is safe and healthy.

Do support Aarav and Mira like you always do 😘

Mostly coming chapter will be more on Mira perspective and her past so Aarav Mira scenes  kami aa irrukum manichuu🥺🥺🥺

After a long gap, like a week but yep one whole week it seems, Pongal munadi pesnom aprom kanum, so epdi pochi ungluku pongal ?

And don't ask me because it's kinda hectic for me and tbh I was exhausted for next whole day man, seriously like " Yaaru inda festival laa konsi Vanda man 😑".

Okay okay before I forgot many may say that Shakti is Shiv and all let me say ullagatle neeya peruku samee name irruku and me keeping the name as Shiv is because the character request, it should be dominating as well as caring so adanale.
, Hope you guys don't mind it, if you feel like changing it I would gladly accept it but the catch is adavum character request AA irrukanum 😌😌

Can have errors so please kindly ignore, wrote half by half in 3 days after work which is probably after 10 pm everyday so it can have errors 🥺🤧.

So just for our family thing listened to SAAYA  by our Chellama, to be honest I am just going crazy with it specially " kanginra yaavum adhu daan indru aagum kannadhi nenjam idhuva"🤩, god seriously how beautiful writen, namba nenaikrathu daab nadakum by our actions but if doesn't the feeling we face is like anything like broken glass so for that keep it safe. ❤️It's just my perception at this moment, odhe line ku neenga yen kita perception 1 month kalichu ketinga na may be differ.😘

But seriously I am saying if Neethanada is something which puts your heart  in fire then SAAYA will make heart dance on that fire ❤️

Namba hero sir vera space vabdaura nu kelvi Patten, didn't listened to it but aprom ma recorded version daan, but really felt happy for him, and now his 2 more movie on row to be released this year 🥳🥳

Podu podu 🕺, just for a person he is he will reach heights.

YOU CAN SKIP, ITS JUST MY BLABBERING 🤧

Ennamo teriyale today just came with a unknown emotion, didn't know were to share so using it here, From morning an unsettling thought came about history of us like tamizh, apdiye paakum bodu came across Aayirthil oruvan, from actors to GV sir all pouring how much they got sidelined for this iconic movie, iniku daan paaten, To me I was like a 10 year child so didn't knew anything more than doremo, shinchan and Noddy, but then 2 years back I watched it in some TV channel at Sunday and to be honest I was so impressed by the BGM, man  till now I feel like goosebumps with that piece of work and not only music Selvaragavan sir man he is something else man, for once I just want to meet him for this film only, like how he thinks and get all together. After listening to that realised that the expected appreciation didn't given in time, is  anything but unrequited. All was a piece of work which was not celebrated at that time but now people are celebrating it like after 10 years which I am proud because those people who are celebrating it is us 🤩 seri konjam overa self promotion panikne polla but in serious note I happy that a good film is atleast now getting it's appreciation and also it's not the film it's the history behind us which is intriguing to me like Raja Raja Cholan and Rajendra Cholan, man no hard feelings to Pandayas and Cherraals because I don't know much or too say little things about them, but for Chola many written things are there so we kinda knew somethings.

Frankly speaking even after raised in North India for 21 years till now, i never felt bad for anything apart from one thing that is literature, man yes I can speak read and also try to write but when i hear people say about the thirukural and these so beautiful architecture which we hold I feel immense happiness and pleasure.

POLAMBALS OVER

BELIEVING IN DESTINY
IS
LIKE SHARPENING YOUR SWORD
WHERE
BLADE IS YOUR
HARDWORK AND SKILL

Love,
