Recap: Goutham threatens Raghini to stay away from him.

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

It was morning Mithra was standing with a towel around her body and throwing the costumes one by one out of her wardrobe getting frustrated.

Mithra: Oru nalla dress irukka potutu poga.....( Is there a fine dress to wear ?)

Mithra Mv: Nee enna date ka pore ? client meeting dhane pore adhukku indha top podhum. ( Are you even going on a date? its just a client meeting. These far good for that)

Mithra: Evlo periya hotel royal castles anga eppadi idhu madhiri tops potutu poradhu.. ( Royal castles is a very big hotel. How can I go wearing like this ?)

Mithra Mv: Ball room book panna idhu madhiri top dhan potu poninga madam ippo mattum enna? ( If you forgot you wore one like this to book ball room in the same hotel. So what now ?)

Mithra sighed and leaned on the door of the wardrobe a tear slipping from the corner of her eyes. she dialed Nithya and called her home taking an auto and got dressed in her usual top and pant with stole. She sat on the bed waiting for Nithya who came shortly in 30 minutes.

Nithya: Hey Mithu why are you waiting if you are dressed up for office. We are getting late already.

Mithra: Nithya, I think I m falling for him...no I have started feelings for him.

Nithi: Woww, this was expected. My baby is in love. I m so happy for you. finally you decided to let your gaurd down for someone. So tell me what did I miss ?

Mithra: don't tag this as love so soon. I don't want to hurry into anything. You know I m nowhere near him to fall in love. He is CEO and I m just his employee. He is freaking hot and handsome, rich but I m just a simple, middle class girl. How can I expect him to fall for me ? Now Tell me how am I looking ?

Nithi: As always beautiful to me but sure you will look hot for him. And to answer to all your questions, I have one word..its love. which doesn't see status, rich, poor, complexion..nothing. When you are meant to fall in love then you sure don't have a control over it. If its happening then don't stop. I know you Mithra, if you are falling for him then sure you must got signals from him too.

Mithra: He does that but I m scared Nithi. what if I m left heart broken ? 

Nithi: Now, where is my optimistic Mithu who always looks positive in everything ? 

Mithra: We are having a client meeting in royal castles today. I have seen his care for me, protective side for me. Today I will see if my class will be a matter to him.

Nithi: Enna panna pore ? ( what are you plannig to do ?)

Mithu: The client we are meeting today is a spoilt lady of a bloody rich man. Her dressing will scream richness. And for our CEO, he will be there as usual in his freaking three piece suite, rich and royal as always. I will go there like who am I. If he doesn't have any problem with me being myself then I will consider on feelings for him. Sure there will be a hell of brats in the hotel. 

Nithi: Sure, you will be the centre of attraction for him. Just remember to treat me after the meeting. Now comeon lets go. 

Mithu: what is with your secret holidays now a days ?

Nithi: Nothing as of now. will tell you if its something serious. Now get your ass down the bed and lets move. Your parents were suspicous when they saw me coming in the morning.

Mithu: Just manage about some work discussion and client meeting. Yeah I forgot to tell you we have a party for the five years of MiGo. Goutham has given the responsibility to me and Rehman to organize the party.

Nithi: Any theme ? or color code ?

Mithra: As of now not sure. May be there will be a circular today most probably.

They had breakfast with Mithra's parents sharing the news of the party. Later they arrived at office and parted ways to their floors. Mithra was busy in her work and Goutham was but an hour before lunch time Goutham came out holding his blazer in his arm and stood leaning on the frame of Mithra's cabin who was busy in her work.

Goutham: If your highness has time then we shall leave for the client meet.

Mithra: Ohh, I m so sorry. Was busy in the new project requirements. Can I get a minute if you don't mind ?

Goutham nodded and left to wait for her in the parking. Mithra went to the washroom and quickly washed her face and applied the nude lipstick and rushed to the parking and saw Goutham waiting for her. Looking at her he opened the door for her and she sat mumbling a thanks. Goutham put his coolers and got in the driver seat and started to drive.

Mithra: I thought you will have a driver for you ?

Goutham: I love driving especially I love the time hearing the music. Feel free to choose the songs of your choice if you don't like the ones I have chose.

Mithra switched on the audio system which had a list of songs from the pendrive. she was stunned to listen the choice of songs which were literally the same which she preferred.

Flashback:

Mithra and Nithya were on way back to home in a bus as her scooty was sent for general service. A rap song was played as it was a private bus. Mithra held her head due to the head ache from listening to the songs.

Nithi: Enna di achu ? ( what happened girl ?)

Mithu: Seriously how come these people are so patient listening to that song. I just feel like my head will burst from the ache. 

Nithi: So what songs are expecting to be played. Do you want to get the people killed in an accident by playing old sad songs ? Girl grow up and enjoy life a bit.

Mithu: Why can't he play some melody romantic songs ? 

Nithi: Again there is a risk of accident. What if the driver gets lost in thought o f his lover or wife listenig to the love songs ? 

Mithra pinched Nithya's thigh and shut her mouth from screaming.

Nithi: fine, tell me your favourite songs may be I will make a list of your playlist. We can pass the time too.

Mithra: Lesa lesa nee illamal vaazhavadhu lesa, mudhal kanave mudhal kanave marubadi yen vandhai, munbe vaa, kadhal enum thervezhudhi, vaseegara, meenamma adhikalaiyilum, ennavale, vennilave vennilave...so many songs like this...

Nithi: Oru full love pack ulla vechurukke...love mattum dhan pannala ( You have a complete love pack in you...just you don't love someone )

Flashback ends

Mithra was stunned to hear the same list of songs which are her favourite even now. A knot formed in her stomach.

Mithra Mv: Is my assumptions true ? Have I met him already ? does he know me ?

Goutham: Mithra, you can change if you don't like them ? I like losing myself in hearing those songs.

Mithra: No, I like them...

Goutham: You zoned out as usual so I thought you didn't like them.

Mithra: No just some random thoughts nothing serious.

Mithra Mv: No Mithra, you are just being paranoid...ignore your assumptions..

On reaching the hotel Mithra tried to open the door but Goutham quickly got down and locked the door. Moving to her side he unlocked and opened the door her.

Goutham: Let me be the gentleman Mithra, please

Mithra smiled and got down holding his hand which were warm around her cold ones. He walked inside with Mithra by his side and they were taken to the private booth where their table was booked.

Mithra: We still have time for Mrs. Banu to arrive. We are early Goutham.

Goutham: Lets kill the time with some ice cream. Shall we ?

Mithra nodded excitedly and Goutham called the for a waiter from the manager but a waitress walked to their table swaying her hips. Mithra gritted her teeth and looked at Goutham who looked least bothered with the seductress who was standing with a tab in her hand.

Waitress: Sir, we have finest collection of wine from across the world. Would you like to give a try. 

Goutham did not even look at her rather his eyes was on the Mithra who was biting her lips.

Goutham: I don't drink Ms nor fond or people drinking so just get me butterscotch with honey and nuts and jamoon.

Mithra Mv: he doesn't drink ? Wow another information added to the list. And how come he likes the flavour like I do ? Many people like butterscotch Mithu don't be so stupid.

Goutham gestured her to say her flavour and Mithra repeated the same as she doesn't want to compromise on her ice cream. 

Mithra : Have we met already ? I mean before we met in office ?

Goutham : Why do you think so ? Is there anything you wanted to ask me ?

Mithra: No, no Goutham, I just asked. Please ignore it.

The waitress placed Mithra's ice cream before her and moved close to Goutham and bent more than required to place his but Goutham moved back a little avoiding her like she was some plague. Mithra pinched his cheeks in her mind for his behaviour towards the waitress who moved away. 

They were having ice cream in silent with both stealing glances at each other. Goutham saw some sticking at the corner of her lips and controlled his urge to remove them with his lips. Mithra saw Goutham intense gaze on her and his hand moving towards her. She closed her eyes when his thumb wiped the little ice cream from the corner of her lips with and licked it before she opened her eyes. On missing his touch she opened her eyes and saw him passing tissues to her. 

Their little moment was disturbed by the waitress who appeared with a stupid grin on her face and moved towards Goutham.

Mithra Mv: Mithra today you will get to know him better than other day with this slut dying so hard to get his attention. She caught the spoon so tight turning her knuckles white just with the look at the waitress who had her cleavage on show.
