Recap: Akhil and Jhanvi reach Akhil's home. Sheela doesn't accept Jhanvi and she is made to stay in guest room.

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

Afte crying a long time Jhanvi fell asleep as tired and exhaustion took over. The same with Akhil who slept out of tired. Early morning the doors of Jhanvi's room burst opened startling her. Sheela stood before Jhanvi with an annoyed look.

Shee: You are not a queen here. Get ready and do the works. I have sent all the maids away. From today you will do all the works. Don't you dare to tell this to anyone to gain sympathy. Now come out quickly and make tea and breakfast for everyone.

After Sheela left Jhanvi quickly got ready and wore a salwar and covered her face as usual. She moved to the kitchen and prepared tea and gave it to Sheela who was in the dining. She cleared all the mess in the living and cleaned it before preparing breakfast.

Akhil woke up to the rays of the sun hitting his face and saw the time was 8. He then remembered Jhanvi being left in the guest room. He made a record of getting ready quickly and came to the living. He saw his father and mother in the dining and Kabir, Sanjay entering at the exact time.

Kab: What Akhil did you enjoy the jasmine and rose ?

Akhil kicked him and they walked to the dining and accompanied Chakravarthy and Sheela. Kabir and Sanjay greeted Jhanvi and she started serving breakfast to them.

Cha: Jhanvi, you don't have to do this. We have maids to work. you sit with us and have breakfast.

Jha: Its ok uncle, I m happy doing this and I will eat later.

Akhil's eyes was Jhanvi who was serving them. When she came to Akhil she slowly served him. Both were affected by each other's presence. His manly woody cologne and her natural smell which affected him everytime made their heart flutter.

Akh Mv: Appadi enna dhan pottu kulippa ippadi semmaya smell varudhu. Seekiram kandu pudikuren. ( What does she use for bathing that it smells so good. Will find it soon )

He watched her wearing a lavender top and white pant and white shawl.

Akhi Mv: every color suits her. 

Kabir cleared his throat and Akhil turned to him who was sitting next to him.

Kab: Are you admiring your wife in mind voice ?

Akh: No, I was thinking of something else.

She: Akhil, get ready to office. There are lot of things to be taken care. 

Kab: Don't worry maa, let him stay home. We will take care. 

She: Everyone leave the house and get back to work after breakfast.

San: I can see your bright future Akhil. Kabir and Sanjay hified while Sheela looked at them with suspicion. 

After breakfast Akhil got ready and came to living. He searched for Jhanvi but she was not seen. Sheela was watching him.

She: What are you waiting for ?

Akh: I m thirsty maa. I will drink water and leave.

Before Sheela could protest he rushed to kitchen and saw Jhanvi washing the dishes. 

Akh: You need not do this. Leave that job for the maids. Did you have breakfast ?

She: She had it already now you can leave.

Akhil gritted his teeth and left from there. Sheela turned to Jhanvi holding a plate with one idly.

She: Don't you dare to touch this food before finishing the works. And prepare lunch for 20 members and pack them. I will be taking it to my ladies club. I can't bring them home and show your dirty face to them.

After Sheela left Jhanvi saw the one idly and continued her work. She did not eat breakfast and started preparing lunch. Kabir came home to collect a file from the study and saw Jhanvi working tiredly.

Kab: Jhanvi what are you doing ?

Jha: Cooking lunch. 

Kab: Thats ok but why so much quantity and that too alone. Where are the maids ?

Jha: I sent them for other work as I wanted to do it on my own.

Kab: You know, I can realize even if you don't say the truth. I need to speak to Akhil.

Jha:No please don't do anything that will trigger aunty's anger.

Kab: but you are the daughter in law of this house, wife of Akhil. you can't work like a donkey. Look at your face. Did you even have breakfast ?

Jhanvi nodded positively not wanting to escalate the problem further.

Kab: Now stop this if you don't want me to tell everything to Akhil. Let me order from hotel and pack them.

Kabir quickly ordered food and got them delivered through the back entrance and helped Jhanvi pack the food.

Kab: Shall we make this lunch special please. I will be worrying if I don't do that.

Jha: What do you want to do ?

Kab: Just few pills for dysentry. My heart will rest in peace then.

Jhanvi gasped but smiled at his dramatic expression.

Jha: Stop that drama and get back to office. Aunty will come now.

Kab: What did you cook before I ordered from hotel ?

Jha: I made pulav. Do you want to taste it ?

Kab: Pack them and let me take to office. I have lot of work and need more energy. 

Jhanvi packed the food and Kabir left from there. He reached office and saw Akhil pacing in his room and Sanjay watching him in silence.

Kab: Sanjay, today I have got a special food for us. guess what ?

San: Ennada briyani ya ? (Is it briyani ?)

Kab: Our sister Jhanvi made special pulav for us. I got packed it to have here in office.

Sanjay and Kabir hugged and left Akhil's room. Akhil followed them to the conference room and saw them ready to dig in the food. The aroma of the food made all his hunger cells to dance in his stomach.

Akh: How come you both are having food leaving me ?

Kab: I m so sorry. If you want this food. You need answer our questions. Only then you can even touch this food.

Akh: I won't answer now give the food. I m hungry too. 

Before Akhil could touch the box, Sanjay took in his hand and stood opposite of the huge table.

San: Question 1. Why did you marry Jhanvi, don't tell you took revenge on Liya because we know you well ?

Kab: Question 2. Why did you look at her like swallowing her in the morning ?

San: Question 3. what will you do if your mother doesn't accept your marriage anytime ?

Kab: Question 4. Why did you cry when Jhanvi kept the holy ash on your forehead in the hospital ? Don't be shocked we are watching you all time. Odavum mudiyadhu oliyavum mudiyadhu. ( You can't run and you can't hide)

Akhil stood froze to their questions and sat on the near by seat and looked at them

Kab: your time starts now and also I won't tell the message that I carried from Jhanvi for you.

Akhi: What did she tell ?

Kab: answers first my dear brother in law.

Akhi: Brother in law ?

Kab: Yes, did you forget that we already divorced you. Now we are Jhanvi's brother so you are our brother in law. now answer us.

Akhi: fine, She has been in mind from the time I met her in Liya's home. I really don't like her but there is something that I could not get her out of my mind. Everytime I went there my eyes would search for her instead of Liya. I tried my best to avoid her and spoke harsh words to her and hurt her badly with my words but nothing is stopping my mind.  

San: So you love Jhanvi is it ?

Akh: I hate her or atleast I don't want to name this now. I know she feels the attraction with me. I saw that in her eyes in the hospital. I never thought I would fight myself for a girl and that is why I hate her.

Kab: Why did you marry if you hate her ?

Akh: I don't have answers for that. There is so much happening. I m just going crazy to find answers.

Kab: She is really a nice girl. Just follow your heart and you will realize that this is love that you feel for her. Now don't be mad at me for saying this. I m just warning you like as usual. Don't delay in realizing your feelings and regret later.

Akh: What did she say. now tell me ?

Kab: Ava onnum sollala. just pottu vangunen. Avlodhan. ( She did not say anything I just got you spill the truth with that trick )

Akh: Idiot, Why should I have you as friends who are always on my nerves. 

Kab: I said there is no message from her but I have a message for you.

Akhil saw Kabir who gave a serious look. Kabir forwarded the lunch box to Akhil and stood shoving his hands in his pocket.

Kab: your mother is making her work like a donkey. I saw her cooking lunch for 20 people without anyone's help. 

Akhil stood to leave immediately by Kabir stopped him.

Kab: I ordered from hotel and packed it for your mother's ladies club. This was prepared by Jhanvi and I got for us. Until you realize your love for her make sure she is not hurt atleast.

Akh: She hates me now thinking that I married her for revenge from Liya. She never speaks to me. Everytime its only me who speaks to her even if I was cold. She never spoke to me.

San: Don't do anything that you will regret later.
