Once they finished their play, they went to home and took rest. In the afternoon, after some time many girls came and started to converse. 

Girl- "Suji, Suji.."

Sujithra- "ulla vaa di"

Girl- "hmm, Seemaila illatha ponna paathu Vihaan mama ku pesirukangalame. kelvi paten". Dharshini and Aishwarya looked at each other. 

Sujithra- "amam, seemaila illatha ponnu.. pinna illaya. akka vantha neram 5 varusham kalichu naanum en aththaanum meet panitom theriuma?"

Girl looked at her with shock and amusement. 

Sujithra- "5 varushama apadi ipadi rendu perum santhika mudiama poiduchu.. Vihaan mama ku ponnu paakum pothu naanum varuven nu adam pudichu vanthirunthaen. Akka kita solitu irunthaen, aththaana paathu varushamachu. yetkama iruku nu.. akka sonnanga, ini pathuruva dont worry nu... solli mudichathum thirumbi paatha aththaan nikuraru..", She said with all kind of expressions. 

Girl- "athu epadi di?"

Sujithra- "muthalla leave tharala pola, apuram thanthutangalam. athanala aththaanum vanthutangalam."

Girl- "hmm"

Sujithra- "athu mattuma, aththaana kalyanam panika enaku romba asai nu solitae irunthaen la.. unaku thaan theriumae"

Girl- "amam.. athu thaan oorukae theriumae. unaku avuga thaan avaruku nee thaan nu"

Sujithra- " akka kita atha pathi solli share panen. aththaan pirinchu iruka kastama iruku seekram panna nalla irukum nu.. ipo en kalyanatha pathium pesa arambichutanga.. seekram mudinchurum"

Girl- "seekrama? atheppadi mudium? unaku 23 thane di nadakuthu..", She asked her with shock.

Aishwarya and Dharshini looked at Sujithra's story with shock. It has a range of 50% - 50%. she said the 50% truth with the 50% of her imagination, which has Dharshini in that. 

Sujithra- "correct than. aana panidalam nu pesikuranga.. ellam akka kita share pannathala thaan. ivanga oru lucky angel. athaan Vihaan mama ku pesirukanga.."

Girl- "enga naan onu kekuren, nadakuthanu pakalam". 

Sujithra- "ketu paaru, aana udane nadakura mathiri ethavathu kelu... itho intha Dharshini akka thaan, en mama ku paatha ponnu"

Girl- "udane nadakura mathiri naa?"

Sujithra- "nee patuka un mama va kalyanam pananum nu keta, athu paathu pesi mudika ellam naal agum la.. oruvela unaku pesitanganalum engaluku epadi theirum.. athanala ipo nadakura ethavathu kelu"

Dharshini and Aishwarya looked at each other with shining eyes appreciating Sujithra's intelligence. She very smartly tricked the girl to ask only small wishes which is possible to be done by trick. 

Girl- "intha veyilla poo vellam vaadi pochu. oorukulla pathi ponnungaluku poove illa. ipo enga ellarukum poo venum"

Sujithra- "appo akka kita kelu. akka naala saami kumbtutu mulu manasa sollunga. "

Girl- "akka, enga ellarukum poo venum". Dharshini looked at Sujithra and Sujithra blinked her eyes. 

Dharshini- "poo thane kidaichudum ma.. kavalai ah vitutu santhosama iru..", She said whole heartedly. 

Everyone blinked and waited for a minute. 

Girl- "enna di inum poo varala"

Sujithra- "naan akka va angel nu thaan sonaen. magician oh, manthiravathi oh sollala. oru 5 nimisham porumaiah iru di"

A girl came running and shouted, " peria ayya pakathu oorla irunthu poo vara vaichurukaaru, rendu peria kooda iruku. ellam vanga poo vangika..", She shouted and went. 

Girl touched her chest in shock. This is completely not expected. 

Girl- "aathee.. enna ithu intha akka solrathu ellam palikuthu.. athu thaan mudichuteenga pola. Iru naan poi poo vantgitu varen. ". Sujithra nodded and she ran away. 

A group of little girls who were school kids came running to Dharshini, Sujithra and Aishwarya. Dharshini looked at them with confusion. 

Girls- "akka akka enga ellarukum ice-cream sapdanum nu asaia iruku.. please ka engaluku kidaikuma sollunga"

Dharshini blinked and looked at Sujithra. Sujithra blinked her eyes. 

Dharshini- "unga ellarukume kidaikum chellangala". They all cheered and ran away. 

After 10 mins they came happily and said, " enga ellarukumae ice-cream kidaichuruchu. neenga nijamave lucky angel thaan"

A girl came running to there and stood near Dharshini. 

Girl 2- "akka, en mama kum enakum sadai ka.. rendu varushama mama pesave matikuthu. neenga sonna palikuthame please akka, en mama en kooda samathamaganum nu sollunga kaa"

Dharshini felt touched and without looking at Sujithra she said, "ellam sariah poidum. neenga onnu sernthuduveenga"

Sujithra blinked at them restlessly. Aishwarya and Dharshini understood her situation. 

Aishwarya- " sila visayangala thane nadakkum nu vitutu iruka koodathu ma, naama thaan muyarchi pananum.."

Dharshini- "muthalla nee evlo anbu vachiruka nu unarthu. mathathu thaana nadakkum."

Girl 2- "aana mama kovathula irukae"

Aishwarya- " kovama  thane irukanga, verupa illayae. kovam ellam anbukku munnadi karanchu poidum. nee anbu puria vai, ellam nallathave nadakum"

Girl 2 nodded and left smiling widely realizing what to do next. 

Sujithra- "sollum pothe peria demand vaika koodathu solli thane parapunen. imsai pudichava second line ah vitutu parapi vitruka pola". Sujithra then sent message to Arjun. 

Sujithra started to bite her nails and started to walk here and there in the room mumbling to herself. 

Dharshini- " enna aachunu ipo nee ullaye walking poitu irukaa.. "

Sujithra -"haan onnum illa ka.. " she still looked a little tensed. Arjun came at that time. 

Arjun- "hi hi hi hi hi.. unga yarukavathu ice-cream venuma?"

Sujithra looked at him with expectation and he blinked his eyes.

Sujithra jumped and said, "hai ice-cream. enakum venum athaan":

Arjun- "naan poi vangitu varen"

Aishwarya neared Dharshini and screwed her ears and said, " ipo nee kuthichathu ice-cream iruku nu thaan. correct ah?"

Sujithra- "athu amam Aishu, enaku ice-cream na romba pudikkum"

Dharshini- "appo antha kulanthainga vanthu ketappo summa iruntha"

Sujithra- " athu gavanikala ka.. etho kekuranga nu therium, ice-cream nu theriala.. avanga ice-cream ah ketanga??", She acted exactly like she didn't noticed. 

Dharshini- "adi paavi, enna nee iapdi nadichu kotura.."

Sujithra -"oh, avanga ice cream nu sonangala", she tried to conclude as well stay as she is not aware. 

Arjun came there with the ice-cream cup and served everyone. While serving to Sujithra, Arjun neared her ear and mumbled something and moved away. She didn't blushed but giggled. He left after that. 

Dharshini- "ivan anni irukanganu pakurana illa akka irukale nu thaan pakurana? avan isatathuku panraam"

Aishwarya- "athukulla arambikatha, nee ipadi poruppa polamburathuku inum naal iruku". They both chuckled. 

Sujithra joined them and chit chatted for sometime. They again got ready in the evening. There is a little function in the home. Some person from village came as formality. 

Aishwarya- "enna panna poranga aunty"

Preetha- " intha koyil la katunathu enga vamsatha sernthavanga. athunala engaluku oru murai iruku. Murai seyya solli alaika vanthirukanga."

Dharshini- "neenga katinatha?"

Preetha- "En husband, unga mama.. parichuthu vamsaa vali varisu maa.. athavathu pandavargaloda vamsam. intha koyil yuthishtrar katinathu. antha koyil la engaluku muthal mariyathai undu.. "

Aishwarya and Dharshini widened their eyes in shock. 

Preetha- "naanum en anna Rohit um Yaathava kulam. "

Aishwarya- "yaathava kulama? athu alinchu pochunnu sonangalae"

Preetha just smiled and said, " History epovumae 100% correct ah irukaathu daa..", She said in a soft tone. 

Aishwarya and Dharshini stunned at the information they are hearing. They didn't expect Vihaan and Arjun belong to Pandava Vamsam. 

Preetha- "ipo mariyathai seivanga.. paarunga. "

They all assembled and watched. Sujithra started to take photos in the camera. 

Old Man- " ayya intha thadavaium neenga muraiah eduthu pananum"

Pandiyan- "thappa eduthukatheenga. paiyan thala eduthutaan. inum oru masathula kalayanam paniduvom apuram avan oru kudumba thalaivana mariduvaan. ini avan panatum"

Old Man- "ayya..", he hesitated. 

Pandiyan- " naan aandu mudichutaen aaya. ini avanga valratha rasichu pakura neram vanthiduchu. avanuku kudunga. avan pathupan ini en idathula irunthu.."

Old Man- "appo thambiah koopdunga ". 

Pandian signaled Rohit and he called Vihaan, Arjun and Madhav. 

Old Man- "vanga thambi ini muraiah neenga panna poratha appa sonanga"

Vihaan- "appa, nana?"

Pandian- " ithuku unaku kidaika vendia mariyathai thaan. Unakana angeekaram ithu.. Enna vida nee nalla panuva. ini nee pathuko."

Vihaan turned his gaze to Madhav who is leaning on the pillar, holding his hands with a smile in his lips. Madhav blinked and nodded his head as positive. Vihaan too smiled. 

Old Man- "apadi utkarunga thambi.."

Vihaan sat in the place and eyed Arjun to near him. Arjun went to Vihaan. 

Vihaan- "en pakathula nillu Ajju"

Arjun- "okay anna". Arjun stood right side to him obediently. That old man first, put the garland at Vihaan. He then showered him with some flowers. Sujithra is taking pictured and Madhav started to video it with the camera he has. 

Vihaan and Arjun looked at each other with a smile. 

Old Man- " antha paiyana koopdunga paatha pooja pananum"

Rajan- "ethuku antha paiyan pannanum? Pandian nuku thambi illainu thaan thambi murai la irukura paiyan pannan.. Vihaan nuku thaan Arjun irukaane Arjun panatum."

Vihaan and Arjun looked at each other. Vihaan looked at him with confusion whereas Arjun looked at him with full happiness. 

Old Man- "appo neenga panungo thambi". 

A plate was given to Arjun. Arjun kneeled down before Vihaan with sparking eyes and content smile. His smile melted Vihaan. They both are looking at each other with love filled eyes and smile filled face. Madhav looked at them with a cherishing smile.

Arjun kept the plate and touched Vihaan's foot. Vihaan felt goosebumps all over his body. A shock passed everywhere. Arjun moved Vihaan's foot to the plate. 

Madhav who is recording the video felt a change in his vision. He felt like Vihaan as a king. A king with a crown and unique jewelry. Vihaan clothes changed from the normal one to the royal one that too glowed like a gold. Arjun too looked like a prince, costume too suits like a young prince of a kingdom. He furrowed his eyebrows, moved his eyes from camera lens to the real persons to know the reality.

Arjun started to pour water on Vihaan's foot and started to rub it gently. Vihaan started to feel a dejavu concept. It is like he already experienced the same. Vihaan panicked a little. Arjun playfully pinched him a little and looked at Vihaan with a naughty filled eyes. 

Vihaan felt like the image blurred. At one point he could able to see painful eyes of Arjun and when he blinked he could able to see the eyes which is filled with naughtiness and happiness. Arjun's smile is constant  which is heart warming. Vihaan smiled at him even though he is confused of the vision. He didn't want Arjun to get panic. 

For Madhav, he rubbed his eyes and saw like Arjun is playing pinching Vihaan while pouring water in his foot and Vihaan is smiling at him. But slowly it got blurred and changed to the one in which Vihaan is sitting there as a prisoner of circumstance as a king and Arjun is pouring water in his feet with painful and tear filled eyes. 

Arjun then started to pour milk on Vihaan's foot with sincerity. Vihaan felt a prick in his heart. But he is not sure what it is for. Arjun then poured water again gently cleaned his foot and then looked at him. 

Arjun-  "anna kaal eduthuko". 

Vihaan just stared at him since he is not sure of which is true between the vision which has Arjun eyes as a happy one and which has Arjun eyes as a painful one. Arjun stood up and shake Vihaan. Vihaan jerked and looked at him. 

Arjun- "anna kaal eduthuko. santhanam, kungumam vaikanum"

Vihaan nodded and took away his feet. Arjun moved the plate, kneeled down again and started to wipe his foot. He then applied santhanam and Kumgumam. He then stood up happily and moved away. Slowly Vihaan and Madhav came out of their illusion. 

Arjun is the only one who didn't affected by this ritual. Vihaan looked at Madhav, who is already looking at him. Their eyes conveyed the same thing. Madhav and Vihaan shake their heads and composed themselves. They then concentrated on the rituals. 

Madhav's mind replayed the illusion, the vision which his eyes alone had during the pooja. He had a different feel.

Oru tayin puttirare nijam ariya sotarare,
ariyamal tane etirikalayinare
kalattin jalattal viti natattum vilaiyattal
katiyinri tavikkum jivankalayinare!!
