Sanjana took tub of multi color paint along with the brushes ready to do a wall paint which was one of her bucket list wish . 

Varun who was passing by through the room saw all this with a puzzled look.

Varun : Ma enna panra ?

Sanjana : Ennaku wall paint pannanum

Varun : nee , wall paint ! Rendum samandhame illa. He told with a giggle

Sanjana : Neenga poi unga laptop parunga laptop kumar . Na muduchutu kupduren . She told twisting her lips.

Varun : Lolaithanam jasti ayruchu unnaku . He said walking out of the room.

She surfed for a picture in the mobile and started painting it from the down and the design was half the way completed. To complete the rest of the design she needed a small ladder to reach the top to paint .

She went to the kitchen to fetch the ladder ignoring Varun who was busy in the laptop.  She stood on the ladder and started painting but her energy got saturated .

She hence thought of taking a break and thought of getting down but her fear of getting down the ladder stroke her. She had the paint tub in one hand while the other one holding the ladder

Sanjana : Ayooo , ippa ladder keela eranganume . Eppudi erangurady . Sanjana keela pakkadha  apdiye erangu . She told to herself.

She began climbing down the ladder with all fear,  her legs and hands started trembling causing her to skip a step and fall with a thud.

Sanjana : ayayooo ! She screamt.

Sanjana fell down and the paint tub she had in her hand fell on her . Therefore Sanjana was painted in multicolour,  she went to paint the wall but the reverse had happened.

Hearing her scream Varun came rushing to the room and tried his level best to not laugh seeing the condition of Sanjana.

Sanjana got even more irritated seeing Varun laugh with holding his stomach

Varun : Pecha pesuna ! Teva dhan unnaku . He said in between  his laughs.

Sanjana : Ippudi keela vizhunduruken , help pannalam la ? She told agitated.

Varun then went near a her and stretched his right hand for her to hold and get up but Sanjana had another plans , She held his hand but not to get up , but to pull him down and make him also a paint sticker.

Varun fell for the force she applied , while Sanjana laughed her heart out.

Sanjana : Ennaya patha siruchinga , Na yaru teriyum la rowdy ! She said getting up.

Sanjana tried to run before Varun catches her but to her faith , Varun held her wrist .

Sanjana : Varun kai ah vidunga. She said trying to remove herself from his hold.

Varun left her hand , Sanjana walked until she hit the wall while Varun kept walking towards her.

Sanjana : Edhuku ....kita ....varinga ? She asked  stammering

Varun came closer to her in such a way that there breaths could be felt on eachother.

Varun : Yen na varakudadha ?

Sanjana : Adhu ... she said in a feeble voice.

Varun : Yaro rowdy nu inga sonnaga , kannome ! He said fixing his gaze on her

Sanjana couldn't withstand the gaze and bent down with her cheeks tainted in red.

Varun came closer to her face , while Sanjana had extreme thoughts , Varun did something she least expected .

Varun took a different colour paint on his index finger and kept it on Sanjana's nose tip.

Varun : Idhu miss achu , ippa correct ah iruku . He said laughing.

While Sanjana looked irked , she began chasing him around the room to take revenge and Varun tried running away from her but due to the slip of his leg Varun fell on the bed . Sanjana tripped and fell over him .

She fell in a such manner that her messy hair covered her face . Varun held her waist in reflex when she fell on him . He took his hands to move the hair that covered her face . Both were lost in there eyes ! This time it's there eyes that were contacting with eachother.

Sanjana : Endhikuringala , na poganum . She said with her gaze down.

Varun : Ma nee enducha dhan na endhika mudiyum .

That's when Sanjana realised that she was over him and stood up immediately with a awkward smile . While Varun smiled at seeing her reactions.

Varun was about to go change in the washroom but Sanjana stopped him . She immediately went to wash her hand and fetched ah canvas from the shelf

Varun : Ma idhu edhuku ? Ennaya edhuku change panna venam nu sollra?

Sanjana : Varuneyy , eppuidyum dress full ah paint . Idhu ennoda romba naal wish. Please pannalam. She said with puppy eyes.

Varun : Apdi enna ma wish?

Sanjana : Neenga kai ah full ah paint la dip panni, indha white canvas la vainga ! Nanum vaikuren . Indha canvas ah adho anga hang pannalam. Please ma.

Varun : Seri ma pannalam . He told with a beam.
Sanjana : Seri neenga pannunga .

Varun : Na panren but oru condition.

Sanjana : Enna condition ? She asked with puzzle filled face.

Varun : Rendu perum same time kai ah vaikala canvas mela ? Okay va?

Sanjana felt touched she immediately nodded her head.

Sanjana and Varun dipped there hands in the blue paint and placed there palms on the canvas . Thus marking a stamp of there palm prints forever.

Sanjana : Ayayooo !

Varun : Enna ma achu ?
Sanjana : Illa ungaluku dhan Blue color pudikadhe . She sighed

Varun : Paravlaa ma ! Memory matters color lam illa.

Sanjana definitely felt that she has fallen for a gem of a person. She then hung the canvas in there bedroom . She then began tracing his palms and got flushed thinking of the things that happened few minutes before.

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

Sanjana left for work than usual since it was month end . While Varun takes his own time to leave for his workplace.

When he was wearing his shoes , the door bell rang .

Varun looked confused at the person standing there in front of his house door.

"Hi ! En peru Mythili . Na pudusa opposite flat ku shift ayrken " A girl in her mid 20's spoke

Varun : Oh Hi Mythili .

Mythili : Na innaiku dhan shift annen ! Thought of introducing myself , since we r neighbours .

Varun :  Oh nice to meet you .

Mythili : Then see u around! Bye .

She waved back and went , while Varun left for his office.

It was evening , when Sanjana reached home and was sitting in the swing in her balcony while she caught Varun speaking with a girl.

Sanjana : Yara irukum pudusa iruke ? Indha ponna inga pathadhu illaye .

Curiosity filled her mind,  she wanted to know who is the girl . She also saw Varun guiding that girl with actions.

Sanjana : Ayoo ! Vazhi keturupanga pola , namma romba yosika venam .

Even when Varun came back , Sanjana did not question him on the girl. Even though she was curious she did not want to make him feel awkward.

Varun as usual met Mythili again in the lift
Mythili : Na unga interviews and projects pathi paduchuruken ! Really impressive

Varun : Thanks . He said with a smile

Mythili : Neenga kami ah pesunalum , your talents speaks more .

Varun just smiled for her comment and left to take his car whole Mythili carried on her work .

Two or three days passed Sanjana often found Varun speaking to the same girl . Which gave a confirmation to Sanjana that the girl is from this apartment.

She being to friendly with Varun whenever they met did not settle properly for her.

One such day Sanjana was sitting in the couch at her home switching TV channels

Varun : Ma na walk poitu varen .

Sanjana nodded her head in agreement .

Just by then Nivi dropped in at home and she began throwing tantrums to Sanjana to take her down the building.

Sanjana couldn't resist saying yes when Nivi pleaded with so much love and hence went down.

Varun was busy listening to songs in his ear pods and went for walking

Mythili : Do u mind If I join with you?

Varun couldn't say no to her since he felt it would be rude and agreed.

Mythili went on asking questions to him while Varun responded with one words or smile.

When she went down she stood rooted to the ground to see Mythili and Varun walking together.

Her veins were boiling with anger to see Mythili being over friendly and too clingy with irked the jealousy feeling in her.

Sanjana made nivi play with her friends while she kept walking towards them .

Mythili : Can I take a selfie with u ! Na vandhu friends kita scene podalam la . She told with  a cheeky smile.

Varun : Adhu illa nga... before he could complete Mythili turned on the selfie camera

That's when Varun looked at the camera and gulped seeing Sanjana behind walking with a glare.

Varun MV: Ayayoo iva yen ippa moraikura?

Sanjana came in the selfie when Mythili clicked,  that's when she turned.

Varun : Mythili meet Sanjana . He said pointing his finger to her.

While both them gave a awkward smile.

Varun : Sanjana this is Mythili , namma opposite veetuku pudusa vandavanga.

Mythili : Varun idhu yaru unga tangachiya?  She asked touching his shoulders

This question made Sanjana even more agitated . She ended up glaring Varun . If anyone can burn them with eyes , Varun would have been burned into ashes now.

Sanjana Mv : Oh na enna pakka tangachi mariya iruken ! Vandhuta menaminiki scene poda . Ennaku ne varuvanga pola. She was mentally cursing her situation.

Varun : Illa nga ! She is my wife Sanjana Varun.

Hearing this Mythili's face was worth watching , her face immediately fell down showing the disappointment.

Sanjana Mv : Bulb vanguniya ! She mentally laughed.

Sanjana : Hi Mythili !

Mythili responded with a smile . She immediately moved but giving an handshake to Varun irking Sanjana even more.

After she went Varun was preparing himself as if he is going to appear for board exams. Sanjana took nivi in her arms and went to the lift while Varun went behind.

Varun : Ma na sollradha kelu !

Sanjana : Nivi na yarukitayum pesura mood la illa  nu sollu.

Varun : Ma inga paru nee nenaikura mari lam illa
Sanjana : Nivi nee sollu , na yaru edhuku nenaikanum nu .

Nivi got stuck between this duo , sighing she gave up and immediately ran to her home when the lift opened.

Sanjana and Varun went inside the room when Varun went behind her to explain his side.

Sanjana : Ennaku onne onnu dhan puriyala ! Yaru photo ketalum ee nu paala ah kamipanga la ?

Varun : Ma na venam nu solradhuku kula , avunga edhuka poitanga ! Na enna panna. He asked with a puppy face.

Sanjana : Enkita matum illa venam adhu idhu nu ennaya deny panna muidyum ,ana vera yaravudhu keta paal ah paal ah kamuchutu siripanga. She huffed

Varun : Ma... he wailed

Sanjana : Innaiku veliya ve padhutukonga !
Sapadhu neengale saptukonga . Na ooti vida maten.

Varun : Idhu enna samandhame illama

Sanjana : Ennaiku achu enkuda na walk keta varingala ! Vera oruthi vandha odana poiruvinga ! Apdiye ponga.
She said turning to walk towards her room.

But  Varun held her wrist and pulled her to a bone crushing hug !

Sanjana went on beating his chest to release herself from the hug but Varun held her tightly.

Varun kept his head in the crook of her neck.  He then went to her earlobe and whispered.

Varun : Neeyum ellarum onna ? Nee vera avunga vera. He said in his basevoice.

Sanjana could no longer put up with the anger . His base voice definitely twist her stomach with all the veins and nerves having a dance making her insides jump.

Varun still did not let her go from his hug and continued.

Varun : I'm your husband and not anyone's .

This time hearing this Sanjana placed her cheeks on his chest and felt is heartbeat raising due to her proximity. She encircled her hands around his waist.

Varun then did something which Sanjana least expected , he made her look at him and placed his lips on her forehead.

And yes that's there first forehead kiss.
