Recap: Mithra is pregnant.

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

Goutham and Mithra reached chennai and he never let her walk anytime. He carried her to their car. They got seated in the back seated and he instructed the driver to drive carefully at an average speed. On reaching the penthouse he again carried her and Mithra opened the door with her thumb impression.

Mithra got startled when she heard the sound of party poppers. She was shocked to see everyone except her father holding balloons and sweets in their hand. She wiggled to get out of his arm but he tighten his hold and carried her further to the living and made her sit on the couch. Mithra saw the entire living decorated with balloons, baby pics, flowers and everyone started congratulating the couple.

Kavitha: Evlo sandhoshama irukku theriyuma ? Mapilla sonna odane inga vandhuten. ( Do you know how happy I am ? As soon son in law broke the news I came crashing here )

Ravi: Good thing I m retired now and I will spend all my time with my grandchild. Nobody will disturb me then.

Kavitha: Atheppadi mudiyum nanum thookitu poven enga pera kozhandhiaya. ( How is that possible ? even I will take our grandchild with me ?)

Shylaja: Mudiyadhu Mudiyadhu enakku apram dhan neenga ellarum. ( No happening. You will all come after me only )

Chandru: Naa chithappa irukken nu ellarum marandhutinga pola.. ( You all forgot that his uncle is here still )

Nithya: That will be my child and I will take with me. Who will question me ? Hey Mithu will you question me ? Boss will you question me ?

Goutham: No one will question anybody here and you all will get your fair chance to our child when he or she is asleep. You people can sit watch the sleeping beauty or if my darling is tired and needs sleep then anyone of you can take care of our baby.

Vinay: Mams, indha nilai eppodhu maarum ? ( Brother in law, when will this change ?)

Goutham: Never....

Shylaja and Kavitha opened a box and placed it before Mithra:

Shylaja: Mithra, you should eat healthy food during this time so I made this myself. 

Ravi: After years and years of forgetting the kitchen she finally entered today and cooked that for you.

Kavitha: Mithu, I cooked this for you and here after I will cook for you and send it through Vinay. No outside food especially those chat items.

Shylaja: Yes, no outside food. If you crave for something then call any of us we will cook for you. 

Kavitha: Steps neraya yeri erangatha. Vegama nadakatha, edhulayum poruma venum. ( Don't use stairs often, don't walk in hurry, have patience in everything )

Shylaja: Goutham, Let Mithra work from home for some days and you too stay with her. Ravi will handle works for some more days in your place. Mithra and baby needs more care and attention now.

Kavitha: Correct mapilla appadiye seinga. Work tension lam konja naal vendam. ( Correct, son in law do as she says. Avoid work tension for some days)

Shyalaj: She might become handful due to mood swings adjust everything and do everything she says. Call your stylist and get her soft maternity clothes or I will go shopping.

Goutham looked at Mithra who was looking like a lost puppy between everyone. Finally she met Goutham's eyes with a pout.

Goutham Mv: sorry baby, I thought to surprise you but never expected such dramatic welcome.

Goutham: Alright, she is tried and needs sleep. You all can stay and maid will cook lunch for all of us.

Kavitha hugged Mithra and pressed her lips on her forehead. Shylaja too hugged her and kissed her cheeks. Goutham scrunched his nose and carried her in bridal style.

Vinay: He is too possessive.

Goutham reached their room and laid her on the bed. He settled next to her and started kissing her face.

Mithra: Stop being jealous, they are our mother.

Goutham: Whoever I don't like when someone kiss you. Only I get to kiss you. I did a mistake by calling them here. 

Mithra: Yeah they are imposing too many rules. How can they do that ? I want to eat chats Goutham. You are so good Mr.husband, you never said any rules like them. 

Goutham: They are silly baby, don't care about their words. You can eat whatever you like and I will cook for you. You need not be locked up in this room, I will carry you wherever you wanted to go. I have already informed Rehman to set up our office here at home in this floor so you can still work and I will not stop you.

Mithra: At home means ? I will not go to office anymore ?

Goutham: Only for few days twinkle. We will work from home and then you can presume to office.

Mithra: How long  is that few days ?

Goutham: May be until we get our baby admitted in school ?

Mithra: That is too early Goutham. What if I get pregnant again in the meanwhile ? 

Goutham: You are right baby. We will decide later, now rest and I will wake you for lunch but before that I will get you fresh juice.

Goutham walked to the door and met with Rehman with a glass of juice in his hand and let him in taking the glass from his hand. Goutham made her drink the juice slowly.

Rehman: Congratulations Mithra mamma, I m so happy for you. I don't want to trouble you with advices and I won't say to take care because there is my boss who will do that so stay happy and enjoy this phase.

Mithra: Thank you bro...

Rehman left the room and Goutham caressed her hair and she fell asleep soon. Goutham walked out of the room and closed the door. He moved to the adjacent room and saw Rehman inspecting it talking over with someone on call. Once he was done he turned to Goutham.

Rehman: Tomorrow this room will be set up for office uses and I will get both your things from office.

Goutham: Inform HR to hire more people to assist you and Mithra. I don't want her to take any stress of work so make sure someone handles her work and Mithra is needed only on emergency cases and calls.

Rehman: That you need not remind me, I will take care that she doesn't get any stress from work.

Rehman peeked over Goutham's shoulder to check the privacy and once confirmed he informed Goutham about Dheeraj's father death.

Goutham: Get more securities to the building and inform Bala to get few more men to watch every people around Pranav.

Rehman nodded his head and left from there to carry out the work to set up the office at penthouse. Everyone left after having lunch and Goutham, Mithra noticed Kavitha and Shylaja trying to have little conversations which made everyone happy that Shylaja was finally changing.

Kavitha returned home and saw Raghuvaran waiting for her. He gave an annoying look at hi swife and son who were beaming in happiness.

Kavitha: Mithra pregnant ah irukka nu therinja apram neeng amaaruvinga nu nenachen. Enna kedaikka pogudhu avala thalli vekkaradhunala ? ( I thought you will change after knowing Mithra is pregnant. What will you get just because you keep her away from you ?)

Raghuvaran: Poi velaya paru. ( Go look after your work )

Kavitha: Poren, kozhandha porandha apram inga kootitu varuven appo enna panringa nu pakuren.( I will go but I will bring the baby here and I will see what will you do at that time )

Vinay: Vidu maa papa va vittu avar mela chucha poga sollalam appo automatic ah varuvaru. ( Leave it mother we will let the baby to pee on him and he will automatically come around)

Raghuvaran glared at Vinay and returned to his room. He stood by the window and saw the family portrait and other photos in one of which Mithra was 6 months baby lying on a mat. A smile appeared on his lips and hearing the sound of the door opening he hid his emotions and saw Kavitha placing a plate of sweets for him.

At Vasudevan's mansion Pranav was in his study watching the news of Dheeraj's father death. He was devastated on losing his friends who did nothing else other than contacting him, their father's lost their lives just because they let their sons to talk to him, he was frustrated on himself for not being able to protect any of them, he was riled up against his ownself for being the reason of their death. If only he had not spoken to them they would have been alive. 

He looked at the photos of his friends and their two of their fathers who got killed brutally for their deeds. He saw the live CCTV footage from his father's room and the doctor was injecting him again to extend his unconscious state.

The door opened and Karan entered and saw Pranav staring at the screen in his laptop.

Karan: Boss, you need to get ready for the therapy. Therapist is waiting for you in your room. Today is the day for your next shot of injection so neurologist is also here.

Pranav: There is no improvement after the 2 shots he has given already so what is the purpose of going for the next one ?

Karan: But he made it clear already that you will be cured completely at the end of 6th shot.

Pranav: Tell him to return, I don't want to waste time on this anymore. I m habituated to walk using the crutch so doesn't matter anymore.

Karan: Boss, please don't give up. you have just got two shots and once you complete all the shots you will be back like old days.

Pranav: Do you think I have time for all this now ? Xav and Dhee would have been alive if I had not forced their fathers to talk them to me. How long will my father be unconscious with the injection given now ?

Karan: Atleast for a month but doctor said his brain might be get affected with increased dose of that injection and with time he will lose his life too. 

Pranav: Just a month and we will find some way to end his misery. It hurts to see him in that state but I have no other option right now. He had took care of me for 4 years when others could have threw my body. 

Karan: May be we can keep him under house arrest like Raghini and her family. This way his life will not be in danger.

Pranav: That will be risky but we will think of that later. We have a month time for that.

Karan: Shall we go to your room for the therapy now ?

Pranav nodded and walked slowly with Karan by his side but stopped suddenly and looked at Karan.

Pranav: Karan, how did he get to know about Xav and Dhee ? How did he know their arrival in chennai ? Me and my friends were womanizers and had done all evil deeds but none of our fathers had hands in it. They were very genuine in their business so how did the sulphuric acid was found at the factory ?
