Siddharth came back to his home , early in the morning after a tiring day.

Yashoda: Enna puppy.. ipo elam night veetuku varadhe ile?

Siddharth: Adhu... haan.. shoot ma.. continuous hectic shoots.. time eh kedaikala..

Yashoda: Ohooo... Na vere ennamo kelvi patten.. She asked in a teasing tone.

Siddharth panicked.

Siddharth: Vere .... Vere enna??

Yashoda looked at his face for sometime.

Siddharth: Maa.. endha ponnum ile ma..

Yashoda: Na edhume kekalaye da.. neeya olarita..

Siddharth knew he had no other go and surrendered himself.

Siddharth: Paavam ma ava.. I like her very much.. Avale enkoodaye vechurkanum nu thonudhu ma.. azhaga irupa .. Bommakutty maari.

Yashoda looked at her son , who was speaking his heart out. He never spoke about a girl to her but he kept on telling everything little thing about this girl.

Yashoda: Andha Bommakutty ode peru enna da??

Siddharth: Sakshi .. Sarakshi, maa.

Yashoda: Epo enkita kootitu vara pore .. en ponna??

Siddharth: Adhuku elam innum neraya time iruku maa..

He pinched his mom's cheeks and laid his head on her lap.

Siddharth: Maa.. Namma en oru puppy vaanga koodathu??

Yadav (Siddharth's dad) : Adhan nee irukiye da..

Siddharth: Paa.. na original puppy solren.. modhala enne andha peru vechu koopdadhinga.

Their banters continued as Siddharth kept complaining about his pet name and the family had a good time teasing him.

Siddharth: Yes ... I need all the information about that man who attacked her.

Endha kaaranam kondum indha vishayam veliya theriya koodathu. I want her to be safe.

Check the CCTV footage of my cafe . I want him , alive.

Siddharth spoke with his manager to fetch the details about the man and the happenings of the previous night.

He took his car out and decided to meet a person.

Yadav: Deii puppy.. ipo dhana veetuku vandha?? Adhukulla poriye da.. Neeyum Naanum PS veladalam nu nenachen..

Siddharth: Paa.. oru mukkiyamaana vela paa.. I'll be back... He blew a kiss to him and started his car.

He parked his car infront of a house. He got down and knocked the door.

Prakash opened the door and he was surprised to find Siddharth at his doorstep.

Prakash: Adadeyyy.. vaanga vaanga... Enna celebrity en veetuku vandhurkinga?

Siddharth: Prakash.. enaku sila vishayam theriyanum.. Sarakshi pathi...

His face turned serious.

From that day.. indha Prakash en vaaiyaala thangachi nu koopdra orey ponnu en Sarakshi dhan.

Siddharth smiled at him and kept his hand over his. He got a family vibe from him.

Siddharth: Avaluku anna na?? Ivan namaku machan dhana?

He shook his head and smiled at him again.

Prakash: Neenga cinema le irukravanga epdi nu therila ... Aana en thangachi uh na paatha veraikum.. avaluku unmela oru thani paasam.. ne avala hurt panna maten nenaikren...

Siddharth: Ava ithana varsham thaniya kashta pattadhu podhum.. let me show her the life she deserves to live.

Siddharth didn't want to tell about the things happened the previous night as he didn't want to make him tensed.

Siddharth: Apo okay... Na kelambren..

Prakash: Seri maapla.. pathu poitu va...

Siddharth stopped at his step and looked at him. He gave a thiruttu muzhi as he blurted out.

Siddharth came back and hugged him.

Siddharth: Poitu varen ,Machan.

Sarakshi took Snow for a walk . She saw a couple hugging eachother on the road.

Sarakshi: Apo.. Namma nethu hug pannadhum ipdi dhan irundhurkumo? She giggled and blushed thinking of how he carried her in his arms.

Sarakshi: Call panni pakalama?? Nethu night full unkooda dhana irundharu.. aprm en ipo disturb pannanum?? She kept talking to herself.

She sat on a stone bench and made Snow to sit near her.

Sarakshi: Panlama..vendama???

Sarakshi: Heyy Snow.. neeye sollu.. Yes or No??

Snow wiggled its tail and tapped on her phone.

She grinned widely and kissed Snow.

She dialled him , but was nervous. She cut the call , immediately not knowing what to do.

Sarakshi: Please relax... Unnala mudiyum.. try again...

Siddharth and his dad were seriously playing their PS match , while sid received a phone call , which made him lose the match.

The call cut , the moment he was about to attend. He glared at his mobile and his dad , who was laughing by then.

He noticed, the call was from his 'Bommakutty'.

He was about to call her , while she called him again.

Siddharth: Hey Sakshi ma... Enna Madam call elam pannirkinga?

Sarakshi: Haan... Dha.. ba.. dha... Adhu phone on le irundhuchu.. snow theriyama tap pannitan .. ungaluku by mistake call vandhuduchu..

Snow looked at her with a 'What do you mean' expression.

Siddharth: Innum konjam better uh samalichurkalaam.

She face palmed herself.

Siddharth: Seri seri .. sollu enna vishayam??

Sarakshi: Onnum ila.. nethiku ozhunga pesa mudila cafe le.. adhan.

Siddharth: Seri .. iniku meet panni pesidalaam..

Sarakshi: Na ready... She grinned ear to ear.

Sarakshi settled herself with Snow on her lap on the passenger seat of his car.

Sarakshi: Aama.. enga porom??

Siddharth: Therila maa.. beach maybe??

Sarakshi: We both love beaches!!!

He smiled and drove to the beach . They together sang songs like mad people.

Snow ran towards the beach , while they walked together, slowly.

Sarakshi: Snow... Be careful. She screamed.

The beach was deserted luckily and Siddharth didn't need to cover his face. All he cared was about her future. He didn't want unwanted media coverage about a hero and her getting along together.

They decided to have food at a street stall. Both got settled opposite to eachother.

Sarakshi took a box from her bag and placed it on the table infront of them.

Siddharth: Ennadhu idhu? He looked amazed.

Sarakshi: Naaney bake panna cupcakes.

She kept a small candle on the cupcake and took out a pocket knife.

Sarakshi: This is for our first victory. Enaku indha cake vangi cut panni party kudukradhu elam pudikadhu.. So enkita irundhu oru chinna gift.

Siddharth looked at her for a moment.

Siddharth: I'm so lucky to have you in my life , Sakshi.

She was shocked but hid it with a smile and they cut the cupcake together and fed eachother.

Siddharth: Is there anything bothering you ?? He asked after a long time.

Sarakshi: Adhellam onnum ila .. Look .. I'm alright.

Siddharth: You aren't , Sakshi... You aren't alright.

I like you.. I wish to be with you.. but adhuku na matum nenacha pathadhu... I know you like me too. But what's bothering you , you aren't even sharing anything with me..

Na iruken .. irupen ma ...unkooda epome..

Sarakshi: Nothing is permanent, Siddharth.

He took a sharp breath.

Siddharth: Then .. I wish to be your, 'Nothing' , Sakshi. I'll be your constant.

He said with tears flowed through his eyes.
