Recap: Goutham spend his time with Mithra reminiscing their sweet memories.

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

Goutham woke up with a new found hope and happiness and the first thing he did was to get a bath ready and called the nurse to let her to remove the IV line. 

Nurse: Sir, doctor has informed to let madam free from IV only for 15 minutes. Also if you are getting her for bath then I will wrap her hand with a cover so that the venflon doesn't get disturbed with water. 

Goutham: Yeah, do that please.

Nurse got a polythene wrap and covered Mithra's hand which had the venflon and left the room.

Goutha removed Mithra's clothes and carried her to the washroom and placed her carefully in the jacuzzi tub and let the hand with venflon to hang out of the tub.

Goutham: Thank god the doctor let you free for 15 minutes. I know how much you love to bath in the tub. We have less time so let me wash your hairs.

He sat behind her and washed her hair carefully and proceeded to wash her body.

Goutham: Look I m getting to touch you everywhere but you are not protesting. Our baby has grown a little more twinkle. Next week we will see our baby's growth. 

He carried her out of the tub and draped a robe on her body. When he returned to the room the maid had changed the sheets and he laid her on the bed and locked the door to change her dress. Once he was done he called the nurse to connect the line again and started drying her hair with dryer. The nurse was looking at Goutham the way he was caring for Mithra.

Nurse: Sir, you are so kind and I m surprised to see someone caring so much for his wife. I pray the god for madam's recovery and soon she will wake up very soon.

Goutham as usual never spoke a word to her and just nodded his head. By the time he was finished with Mithra and him getting ready his mobile blared with call from Nithya but he as usual didn't answer but again it started ringing this time from Vinay. He sighed and answered the call moving to the balcony facing the sea.

Goutham: Yes Vinay..

Vinay: Mama, I m so sorry mama. Please come back we all are missing you. Where are you ?

Goutham: I m doing good Vinay but I m not coming anywhere now. Please let me live on my own.

Vinay: Amma va hospital la admit panni irukkom mama. ( We have got amma admitted in hospital brother in law )

Goutham: What happened to her ?

Vinay: She never stops crying. She hardly ate anything and last night she fainted. Ravi uncle and Shylu aunty are here too.

Vinay's mobile was yanked and Chandru spoke this time.

Chandru: Enga da irukka ? Nee Mithra va mattum nenachu azhugura na inga ellarum unakkum sethu azhuguranga da. Konjam unnoda appa, amma apram Mithra oda amma, thambi pathi yosi da. Nee eppadi irukka nu theriyama ellarum evlo kashta padurom theriyuma ? Veetukku vaa da. 

( Where are you man ? You are crying only for Mithra but here all are crying for you too. Think a little about your parents and Mithra's mother and her brother too. Do you know how much we all are worried not knowing how you are ? Come home man. )

Goutham: How is Kavi maa now ? Let me speak to her.

Chandru passed the mobile to Kavitha and she sobbed as soon she heard Goutham calling her amma.

Kavitha: mapila enga irukkinga ? ( Where are you son in law ?) 

Goutham: Amma, I will come to meet you only if you eat and sleep properly. 

Again the mobile was yanked and Nithya spoke this time.

Nithya: Where are you ? You can't keep running like this. You know we are waiting for your answers to all our questions.

Goutham: I will meet you all very soon. Give me time until then. 

He didn't wait for reply and cut the call. He sighed in frustration raking his fingers through his hair.

Goutham: Am I being too selfish to hurt my own people ? They all love Mithra and I m only hurting them by hiding Mithra from them. They don't deserve this, Kavi maa doesn't deserve this. I can't be selfish anymore.  

He returned to the room and saw the maid placing his breakfast but he waved his hand to get away with the breakfast. He sat next to  Mithra and kissed the baby with a smile.

Goutham: don't you want me to cook for your cravings baby ? Wake up and give me the list of everything you want me to cook for you. Or will you wake up if I cook all your favourite chats ? Let me do that.

Goutham called the nurse to stay beside Mithra and entered the kitchen informing the maid to look after the cleaning the job in the mean time. He started preparing her favourites with all his love and after 2 hours he returned to the room holding a tray and the nurse walked out immediately. He sat on the bed and opened the lid of the tray and smelt the aroma of everything he prepared.

Goutham: See, I have prepared samosa, pani puri, khachori, paneer 65 and bhel poori. The sauce and the chutney are simply amazing. Can you smell everything ? I m starting to eat them, join me or I will finish of everything.

He took a bite of the kachori dipping in the sauce and moaned to its taste.

Goutham: Its very tasty wifey come on get up. I m getting all naughty thoughts looking at this sauce so wake up before I jump into action.

He placed the kachori back on the tray and leaned on the headboard closing his eyes. 

Goutham Mv: I will not give up until you wake up to be in my arms Mithra.

He put a smile and cleared the tray and played her favourite cartoon on the TV.

Goutham: We will watch cartoon and in the evening we will go to the beach. Its been long time I have taken you to the beach so today we will spend some time.

By evening Rehman arrived at the beach house and informed Sridhar to carry the wheel chair to Mithra's room. Rehman saw Goutham talking to Mithra when he entered the room and smiled at them.

Rehman: How is my boss madam doing today ?

Goutham: Mithra, look your Rehmani bhaijaan has come to teasing you again calling boss madam. Lets trouble him today what say ?

Rehman: Ohh I m more than ready for the trouble. What should I do ?

Rehman opened the wheel chair and Goutham appreciated looking at it.

Goutham: But we are not using the wheel chair now. Instead you will grab the IV bottle in your hand and I will carry my baby in my arms. We are heading to the beach now.

Rehman: Woww, what a plan. Come on boss what are we waiting for then ?

He happily started detaching the IV bottle from the stand and Goutham carried Mithra in bridal style and then headed to their private beach.

Goutham sat on the shore with Mithra between his legs leaning on him and Rehman sat next to them holding the IV bottle.

Rehman: We are some peculiar creations boss madam. Look at us like who on earth will be at a beach holding an IV bottle but we will break the rules of the universe and do everything to our way only because my boss and boss madam are unique in this world.

Goutham: Ofcourse I had to adapt myself to be unique because my darling is unique.

Rehman: Can you be anymore cheesy boss ? But many times I have wondered what could have you been in your previous birth. Guess what ? I know now.

Goutham: And what could be that ?

Rehman: Ofcourse a kangaroo. You got to that habit and keep carrying boss madam in this birth too. 

Goutham chuckled at his words and they looked at the waves trying to touch the shore everytime untiringly never giving up.

Rehman: Next time I would love to have a running race between all of us to find who has more stamina to win this sandy shore. I mean you, boss madam, me, Chandru, Nithya, Vinay.

Goutham: Whom do you think will win ?

Rehman: But there will be restriction for you before we begin the race. Since I have seen your running speed I would suggest you to run carry boss madam while we all run single. By this condition I guess Vinay will win. That boy is energy ball like his sister.

Goutham: Today I realized how selfish I have become Rehman. Vinay called and informed me that Kavi maa was admitted in hospital after she fainted last night. They all are suffering not knowing the reality and I have given them more pain by staying away from them and hiding them about Mithra. They have every right to know about her.

Rehman: you are right. They have every right and its not like they will put her life in danger intentionally.

Goutham: hmmm. Bring them here on saturday night secretly.

Rehman: You made a good decision. They will be relieved to know and see Mithra alive.

Goutham smiled and moved Mithra's fair to front and placed a kiss on her shoulder blade and temple.

Rehman: I had enough rest and I will start office from tomorrow.

Goutham hummed and a little while later they returned home and Rehman left for the day after having dinner with Goutham.

At Pranav's mansion:

Karan was having dinner when Karan entered holding his mobile to his ear and stopped before Pranav as he ended the call.

Karan: Police is suspecting your hands behind Mithra's death since Raghini last worked in your office and also they found she lived in the mansion until she was dead. The have found the mobile from the quarry and it has been sent to the cyber team to recover every details from it.

Pranav: Couldn't she die along with that mobile. Inform the lawyer to get an anticipatory bail.

Karan: That will not be required. I m trying to get that mobile from the police team through some source and also it would be giving into their suspicion if you leave the city at this time or get an anticipatory bail so it would be better we think of something else.

Pranav: Call the doctor to check if I can be admitted to avoid the police enquiry.

Karan nodded and called the doctor immediately and he answered after a few rings. Karan explained the situation to the doctor and asked for his suggestion to get Pranav admitted in the hospital.

Doctor: Sir, police will start to suspect you strongly if you get admitted at this time. Rather I have an option which might be risky but will save you forever from getting into police enquiry.

Pranav: What is that ?

Doctor: I can send the next shot of injection to you and if you get hint of police approaching you then you can take that shot which will raise your anxiety levels and sure you will need medical help. Inform your person to bring you to me and I can take care further but there is a risk in that.

Pranav: Will I die ?

Doctor: I won't play with lives but this is your fourth shot and this time you might be unconscious for a day or two.

Pranav: That will add to our favour so no worries so send the shot immediately.

Doctor cut the call and Pranav turned his attention to Karan.

Pranav: Still inform the lawyer to get an anticipatory bail. I don't want to risk. Inform all your men to find about Goutham. I haven't heard anything after the death of his wife.

Karan: It would not be safe for us to do anything right now. Its better we call back our men until this issue settle down and we will find some way out of this permanently.

Pranav thought for sometime and nodded his head agreeing to Karan's word.
