Recap: Goutham surprise Mithra by sneaking into her room at 12 to wish her birthday.

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

Mithra woke up in the morning and placed the roses in her wardrobe safe from her parents seeing them. she got ready as usual and reached downstairs dressed in a saree. Her mother and father wished her and she took their blessings. Later Vinay wished her and presented a chocolate box.

Raghuvaran: My daughter look beautiful. Let us all go the temple after breakfast and later we will have lunch outside.

Kavitha: What time you need to leave for your office party ?

Mithra: I will leave at 4 maa. I will go to Nithya's home and we will go together.

Raghuvaran: Should I come to pick you back if it will be late ?

Mithra: Appa, I m not a child. I will return on my own. If it will be late I will get a cab and won't drive scooty.

Raghuvaran: Next year we want you to get blessing together with your husband. I just can't wait to see my daughter getting married.

Vinay: I m very sure that she will be married this year. Finally I will get to sleep without disturbances in the early morning.

Kavitha: when did you become an astrologer ?

Vinay: Its brother instincts...anyhow you both are waiting for your friend's son to return from abroad to proceed with marriage talks then sure she will get married early.

Mithra stomped on his feet gritting his teeth and sent a deadly glare to him.

Vinay Mv: work out ayiduchu polaye ? ( Seems like its already worked out ) Mams, get ready for marriage. my sister is all ready for you.

They left from home after breakfast and drove to a temple and offered prayings. Later Mithra took them to a mall and her parents bought her some new dresses as birthday gift. finally after having lunch they returned home by 3.

Mithra quickly got took bath and changed into a simple top and jean and packed her dress and accessories to the party and reached the hall.

Kavitha: Why are you in this dress ?

Mithra: I have packed my dress maa. Me and Nithya bought a new dress for the party. I will get dressed at her home.

Kavitha: Stay safe Mithra and message me once you reach the party hall. Also call me when you start from there.

Raghuvaran: Call me if you want me to pick you.

Mithra nodded her head and quickly left from there and drove to Nithya's home.

Goutham was in his office when Chandru entered with food for both of them. He slumped on the couch and looked at Goutham with annoyance.

Chandru: Party is in the evening. Why do you have to stay in office and not at home ?

Goutham: I don't want mom to get any idea of the party or she might make her appearance all of a sudden. Upon that she would bring that cakeface along with her. Today is a special day and i don't want to be upset for any reason. so its better to stay away from problems.

Chandru: I wish you teach me some ideas to be manipulative and cunning like you.

Goutham: If I do then how will I escape from you at times when I needed to.

Chandru: damn man, how could you say this ? ok now tell me when can I meet my sister.

Goutham: Very soon...We are just one step behind confessing our love. I want her to feel like I do for her.

Chandru: Let me know if you need some help. I m always at your service.

Goutham: what is the service charge ?

Chandru: Help me back if I need what else could I ask... So what about your dress for the party ?

Goutham: Will be delivered anytime now. We will get ready and drive to the location at the right time.

Goutham stood before the mirror with a towel wrapped around his waist after the bath. He wiped his body with a towel and got ready in the crisp white shirt, black waist coat and a black blazer with pants. He matched his suite with a purple tie and geled his hair. Wearing the armani shoes he sprayed the perfume and checked himself once.

Goutham: Can't wait to see you darling...Wish you wear the dress I chose. Lets see what surprise you have for me.

He came out and saw Chandru already waiting for him.

Chandru: Ennada yedho wedding reception ku ready agura madhiri irukku ? ( What man, looks like you have got ready for your wedding reception ?)

Goutham: Day is not so far so why not a trail ?

Chandru: ok ok...understood. Tell me atleast a day before you get married I will fast to eat as much as possible.

Goutham smacked his shoulder and together they got in his BMW to the hotel where the party was arranged. Rehman was waiting at the entrance and opened the door for Goutham.

They entered the ball room and saw the staffs all ready dashing for the party. His eyes were searching for a pair of eyes but he couldn't find. Rehman leaned to Goutham's ear and mumbled that Mithra had not yet arrived.

Goutham nodded and moved to the table where his father was seated and took a seat next to him facing the door awaiting to see his love.

A few minutes later the door opened and Nithya entered first followed by Mithra dressed in the purple saree with crystal works all over matched with a boat neck blouse gifted by Goutham. Her hair was set free in loose curls at the end and the saree was pinned in a single pleat and she held the pallu in her hand. She wore a pearl necklace with matching earring and bracelet. She walked gracefully searching for the person who had his breath hitched with her elegance.

Finally their eyes met and he exhaled visibly to let her know his state looking at her. She smiled in response and sat with Nithya facing him.

Rehman took the mic and welcomed everyone for the party and called Goutham to give a speech to start with the party.

Goutham: Good evening everyone. Thank you for gracing this evening with your presence and being a part of this big day. I m so happy to be here today on the 5th anniversary of MiGo. It was a big dream to have this business. I thank my father who believed in me and invested in my idea to start this venture. I m so proud that today we have many employees who are with us from day one of this company. I don't believe that you should be mastered the education in the field you choose to work rather dreams has no limit unless we are determined to achieve them so MiGo brings employees with passion to achieve rather than having academics.

I take the privilage to announce that MiGo is no more a small venture we have merged my business from London and greece as well. We are expanding the business in largescale with unexpected turn over. To make this day more special I m proud to announce that we will recruit candidates who are best with their ideas though they lack academic records. MiGo will stand unique from every other firms in the field. The major milestone is we have taken over 17 small scale companies who were struggling in business.

All the milestones will be announced officially in our company portal. I would like to convey my special thanks to Rehman and Ms. Mithra for their extra ordinary support to acheive all these along with their team and every staff at the bottom line. Thank you so much for being with MiGo. Please enjoy the evening....

Everyone stood from their seats and applaused to Goutham and wished him for the acheivements. Mithra too went forward and shook her hand with him but their eyes were looking directly into each other. He winked at her suddenly and she yanked her hand and returned to her table.

Ravi hugged Goutham and patted his shoulder feeling proud of him.

Ravi: Goutham , I will get going back to home with chandru else your mother will be suspicious about the party.

Chandru: Should I return for sure ? Why can't I stay for sometime and spend sometime in the party ?

Ravi: No way now shut up and come lets leave..

Chandru hugged Goutham not leaving him. Ravi pulled Chandru back and he dramatically showed his hand to Goutham to stop him but Goutham shook his head and let them leave from the party.

Goutham watched everyone busy chatting and having dinner with their colleagues. Rehman was next to Goutham having a small discussion. Mithra and Nithya were having dinner together and Mithra was exchanging looks with Goutham every now and then.

Mithra: Nithi, don't be mad at me ok ? I think I m falling for him....I m trying hard not to but ...

Nithya hugged Mithra and patted her back slowly.

Nithi: Don't worry babe clam down... I can understand......you are not falling for him Mithu....you have already fallen for him from day 1.

Mithra suddenly pulled back from the hug and looked at Nithya who only shrugged stuffing food in her mouth.

Nithi: I have seen you for years Mithu. You have never looked into any men's eyes so far. Mr. handsome hunk is the first man you have talked about so much and babe your eye never leaves him. Don't try hard Mithu let go of all the fear. You are not a child to be scared of parents. If he is into this mutually then you both should talk to your parents. Try to make them understand.

Mithra: You are right Nithi, What if everything goes wrong ?

Nithi: There is no thrill in having adventure knowing the result of it. What if your parents get you married to someone else will you be happy. Will you forget handsome boss forever ? One life Mithra..live for it and fight for it.

Mithra: He said the same ...

Nithi: Idhu yepppo ? ( When did this happen ?)

Mithra smiled and Nithya stood pulling her along to leave the party as it was time to return home. They searched for Goutham to inform him but they couldn't see him instead Rehman came rushing to Mithra with a worried face.
