Sarakshi awoke the next morning with significant neck discomfort. She realized she'd dozed off on the couch with Snow on top of her tummy. She stretched herself and placed the sleeping Snow on the couch. Yawning, she took her phone, hoping to receive a call from Siddharth, but there was none.

She went through her morning routine and entered the dusty kitchen to get herself a cup of coffee. She spotted Siddharth's cup, which had the word 'Dad' written on it. She gave a small smile, recalling how he would continually request a cup of coffee. It's the little things and the people who make it our home. 

Sarakshi took a hot shower, changed into a tee and Jean, picked up Snow, and drove to her parents' house.

Yashoda grabbed her in a warm, teddy hug, while Yadav held Snow in his arms and cuddled with him.

Sarakshi: Maa... Sid varlaya?

Yashoda: Vandhaan...nethu midnight le.. ipo konjam neram munnadi dhan edho velai iruku nu kelambi ponaan. En? unkita solalaya?

Sarakshi's face plummeted, but she fake smiled since she didn't want to make them sad.

Sarakshi: Ile ma.. enaku call pannirpaaru maybe na paathurka maaten.

Yashoda noticed the un usual behaviour of Sarakshi and made a mental note to ask her later.

Yadav: Adha vidu ma.. Nee va namma saapdlaam. He will be back. Enga poida poraan nammala vitu?

As he hugged with Snow, Yadav said. He was the typical father who was opposed to them raising a pet. But his ideas were modified when he witnessed the enchantment that Snow had spread. He wasn't a pet person, but who wouldn't fall in love with Snow?

Sarakshi sat between the two, and Yashoda fed her. With their regular chats and laughing, the trio ate to their hearts' content.

Sarakshi's phone rang after a while. She eagerly leapt on her way, hoping to see Siddharth, but instead saw John. She sighed and answered his call, not knowing what he was up to.

Sarakshi: Hello!

John: Hey!!! There's an issue , Sarakshi.

Sarakshi: Huh? What happened, John?

John: You know right? Aniku unna attack panna vandhanga five people... Avanga andha station le  irundhu thappichutanga... Now the Chennai police has caught them. So you need to sign a case against them here.

Sarakshi: Ayoo!!! Case lam vendam, John! I'm not ready for it.

John: Let me do it then. Ne anga vandhu witness sonna podhum. We can't let it as such , Sakshi. Nethiku unaku pannadhu naliku vera oru ponnuku nadakum. Think of it.

The sheer thought of that guy attacking her came through her mind. Her vision blurred as she recalled all of the humiliations she had endured up to this point. Her unsettling memories caused her to cry. When she heard Yashoda approaching, she immediately wiped her tears

Sarakshi: John.. I'll be there.. Just text me the location.

She hung up the phone and took a long breath.

John: So... Finally it is my time to make you realise what the real pain is, Ms. Sarakshi!

~

Yashoda: Ennachu da?? Yaaru phone le?

Sarakshi: Friend ma.. I've to go now. Na vandhu pesren.

Sarakshi lied to her because if she had to explain why she was going to John, she might have admitted that all of those occurrences occurred that day. She hugged her mother and exited the house, leaving snow behind.

She called Siddharth to let him know she was coming to John's apartment, but he didn't answer. Her thoughts were drawn to anger. She was irritated with him. She apologised multiple times, but he refused to budge. The scenario aggravated matters. Everything on her mind had become choked.

Sarakshi: Enaku matum en ipdi nadakkudhu? Why is this happening to me , everytime???

All those memories of her bitter past were circling her thoughts, making her angry, and she only had one person in her life to unleash her rage on, but he wasn't with her at the time. She became enraged.

She then drove to the address John had given her. To avoid a dispute, he invited her to his home and offered to drive her to the station.

Sarakshi stepped into his house and all she heard was a door locking sound.

Siddharth walked into the Ad production office after being summoned for an ad shoot. Siddharth was depressed because he had no movies in his possession.

Siddharth: Inimel movie kedaikradhu kashtam le? Again back to Ad shoots. En enaku matum ipdi nadakudhu? Why is this happening to me ,everytime???

Siddharth went to see the Ad's producer, who said that it would be an advertisement for a branded coffee powder. The term "coffee" brought up a lot of memories for him. His mind wandered to her ideas. He missed her coffee, her embrace, her warmth, and most of all, she.

He bit his lower lip to keep his emotions in check and agreed to appear in the commercial. He entered the grooming area and sat in front of the mirror. That's when he heard his phone start to ring. It had to be her. He, however, declined.

For the ad's shot, he was referred to as the director. He walked to the area half-heartedly and fired his shot. The director then called a brief break, prompting Siddharth to relocate to a less private location. He sat quietly on a seat when he was interrupted by a tap on his shoulders.

He turned and was surprised to see J standing there.

J: Hey Sid... Epdi irukinga??

Siddharth: I'm fine , J.  He gave a small smile.

J: Aana paatha apdi therilaye. She teased him.

Siddharth: Adhelam ile.. I'm alright.

J: Seri seri... How's my sister?? Nalla paathukringala avala??

Siddharth only nodded without responding. He was tied to Sarakshi, who was knitted into every question he was asked.

The phone rang again for Siddharth, but he declined.

J observed him to be depressed.

J: Any problem? If you don't mind...

Siddharth: Nothing.

His phone rang again, but he declined it again.

J: Na irukra naala dhan neenga phone edukalaya???

Siddharth: Nothing like that.

His phone rang again, but he switched off the phone in frustration.

J sighed and sat there in silence. She spoke after sometime.

J: Ungalukum, Sara kum edhachu problem uh??

Siddharth: What happens with us , stays with us . Hope you understand.

J: I'm no one to interfere, Sid and I know that. But there are some things you need to know.

Siddharth frowned.

J: It was my mistake that day. Na dhan avala enkooda kootitu ponen. I was in my personal trauma and she helped me to get out of it. Apo na avakita ketten... Avaloda andha past le avlo nadandhum how did she bounce back nu... You know what she said?

Siddharth raised his brows.

J: Siddharth! Na ketta Ella questions kum aana answer Siddharth matum dhan. Na sogama irundha Siddharth Ipdi pannuvan.. happy uh irundha apdi pannuvan.. He always behaves like a baby to me nu avlo sonna.

Indeed Sarakshi was knitted to his soul where none can bring them apart.

J: She's madly in love with you, man. Na aniku oru naal avala paathu romba porama patten. After all she deserves this life for what all she went through. Ne romba lucky... Ava kedaikradhuku..

Siddharth's eyes glistened as he learned what his woman had in her heart. He didn't want a third person to mess with his life; he just needed this time alone to recover.

He died a thousand deaths thinking about what he had done to her in the last two days. He wanted to stab himself for inflicting pain on her. His little bird did not deserve to be in such suffering. He mentally smacked himself for hurting her.

Siddharth wiped his tears and stood up from his place.

Siddharth: Thankyou, J! Thankyou so much.

He swiftly moved away from that place and rushed outside the sets without informing to anyone.

He rushed towards his car and ignited the engine. But to his dismay, the car was out of fuel. He banged his hands on the steering and stepped down.

Siddharth: Inimel yosika onnume ile, Siddharth. Go get her!!! Run Sid.. Run!!!
