They day went like that. The black smoke are with Thamarai and Maragatham for some time and it left. Youngsters did their normal work and plan for the travel. Pratap is with Arjun whenever he needs anything. Everyone went fine till the evening. 

In the late evening. slowly Dharshini and Aishwarya started to search for Sujithra. She went before one hour and still didn't returned. Even she didn't stated where she went. They have an idea she is with Arjun, but need to confirm that. 

Aishwarya- " konjam rendu perum ulla vareengala?". Madhav and Vihaan looked at each other and went behind her. 

Once they are in, Dharshini -" Kalaila neenga atha patheengala?"

Vihaan- " unga kannukum therinjatha?". Dharshini and Aishwarya nodded. 

Aishwarya- " sangu nathar koyilla intha pugai erinju sambal aguratha naan pathaen. epadi thirupi vanthathunu puinchuka mudiala"

Madhav- " Nangalum paathom atha pathi thaan yosikarom aduthu enna panalam nu.."

Dharshini- " ipo atha vida mukiamana oru visayam iruku. Suji velila pona.. one hour ku mela aaguthu inum varala.."

Vihaan- " velila enga pona, shalu?"

Dharshini- " enga nu solala.. Bur Arjun kooda than poirupa nu ninaikuren. avan koopta matum thaan 'itho vantharen akka' nu odiruva"

Madhav- " enna ivlo late ah solreenga?"

Aishwarya- " ivlo neram agum nu engaluku theriathu...". Vihaan and Madhav looked at each other. They call to his mobile which says that it is not reachable. They hurried to the elders. They first went to Rajan. 

Vihaan - "thatha, Ajju ku ethavathu vela kuduthiah?". Rajan looked at him with a smile .

Rajan- " unaku ethuku ipo Ajju?"

Madhav- " appo avan enga nu ungaluku therium. enga ponan antha vaalu? avanuku call panna not reachable nu varuthu..."

Rajan chuckled and said, " avan kulantha-oda etho dinner ku velila kootitu poren nu ketaan. sari nu solitaen. poitu varatume pa. sethu polachu vanthirukaanga konjam santhosama irukatumae"

Madhav quickly said, "irukatum naanga enna vendam na solrom, antha vaalu solitu poirukalam"

Rajan smiled and said, " inga thaan ethavathu hotel la arrange panirupaan. kalaila vanthiduvaan. inga neriah peru irukanga, avanala time spend panna mudialaiam. yetkama ketaan, sari nu soliten."

Vihaan - "aana thatha..", Madhav clutched his hand, Vihaan stopped. 

Rajan- " enna achu, Vihaan ethavathu prachanaiah?"

Vihaan -" athellam onum illa thatha, ivanuku ipadi sollama porathe vela.. atha than solla vanthaen". 

Rajan chuckled and said, " avan onum chinna paiyan illa Vihaan.". He patted Vihaan's back.

Moorthy called and Rajan moved away. The couples looked between themselves.

Vihaan- " thatha ku smoke theriala pola Maddy. ipo enna panrathu?"

Madhav- " Suji-um avanum onna irukanga, so problem irukaathu nu thonuthu.. avanga enga irukanganu namaku therianum.. vaa polam "

Aishwarya- " naangalum varom please". Madhav and Vihaan left out a long breathe and nodded. Girls quickly took their hand bag and moved.  

Madhav- " First inga irukura 6 hotels kum phone panni kelu daa, Ajju ethuvum book panirukaananu."

Vihaan -" namaku tension yethurathe ivanuku vela. ivan adangave mataana da"

Madhav chuckled and said, " intha jenmam illa, inum ethana jenmam eduthalum athu nadakathu. Avan Ajju va irunthappove avlo vela panuvaan., ippo avan namma Arjun ah mattum illa, mun jenma ninaivugal ulla Arjunan."

Vihaan chuckled with a proud smile. Arjunan, the name itself gives them a smile. They moved out of the house, While moving out they saw Pratap is taking with Madhuri and she is blushing looking down. 

In the travel after having phone calls, Vihaan- " avan entha hotel laium book panala daa.."

Madhav- " forest pakkam vandiah thirupu. avan anga thaan irupaan. ivanuku oru idam ella kaatulaium epadi thaan kidaikutho", he said with a long breathe but giggle after ending the statement. 

Dharshini and Aishwarya didn't enjoyed since they need to know that Arjun and Sujithra are safe to react anything. But Vihaan and Madhav are just little tensed. They are clear that they just need to know where he is. Vihaan stopped the car and they entered into the forest.

Aishwarya- " inga avanga irupangala?"

Madhav-" check pananum.. inga moonu kaadu iruku. But Ajju intha kaatuku than appapo varuvaan. so avan inga vara thaan chance jasthi". They went to some extent and saw a tent. Vihaan and Madhav halted.

Madhav- " avanga inga thaan irukanga"

Aishwarya- " appo vanga poi pakalam"

Madhav -"oru nimisham, konjam poru.. avan en thangatchi oda irukaan waru, epadi porathu? Avanga personal space kulla naama pora mathiri ithu.."

Aishwarya -"athu apadi illa....  Maddy please, avangaluku theriama just avangala oru thadava paathutu apuram kilambidalam.. "

Dharshini- " please anna, avangala paatha konjam nimathiah irukum"

Vihaan and Madhav left out a long breathe and moved towards the tent. There is no trace of any person there, But Sujithra dress is found in ground. 

Dharshini- " ithu Suji inaiku potruntha dress uh", She panicked a little.

Vihaan- " patharatha Shalu.. Ajju vera dress vangi kuduthurupaan. inga paaru cover ellam iruku"

Dharshini- " ithu ellam assumptions thane.. epadi than ivlo casual ah irukeengalo", She almost shouted.

Vihaan- " avan Arjunan Shalu, He has his ways in everything. epadi solrathu?", he brushed his hairs unable to say anything further more to explain

Dharshini- " enavo.... first avangala pakalam, apuram antha karupu pugaiku oru mudivu katanum.. appo than konjam relax ah iruka mudium."

They moved inside the forest further more and started to search for them. The saw a mini cave. Madhav and Vihaan looked at each other once and entered there. They saw some drawing there which is just a boy and a girl shadow images which is expressing love. The taller boy image and the short girl image exactly represents Arjun and Sujithra. There are many images in which girl has a keen length frock and the boy in casuals. In the black rock, the images shined in white as a light. The images are, boy lying in girls lap, boy and girl hugging each other, boy hovering a girl lying in a rock, girl kissing the boy tiptoeing in his feet, boy and girl enjoying watching something and goes on.. It is like a step by step little things. There is no intense related images. Looking around, there is a pot which has water, there is a rope bed. 

Aishwarya -" oru kaviyamae inga varanchirukuratha paatha unga guess correct thaan. but Arjun inga illayae..", She asked them impatiently. Girls are not in a mood to appreciate. 

Madhav- " tension agatha, Ajju inga thaan irupaan. safe ah than irupaan."

Dharshini- " kannula pathuta nimathiah irukum anna. namma ellarum kooda irunthappove, konjam velagi iruntha nerathula Arjun ah antha karupu pugai pudichu thannila amukuchu", She had tear brimming eyes.

Madhav- " neenga solrathu correct thaan. Believe me, they are safe."

They looked around and saw a wooden door like part which covers a place. On examining Madhav moved the wooden part and looked inside, there are some plants next to it. They saw a mini path there. On moving inside further, it is full of darkness. Vihaan switched on the light and observed, it is just a inside part of the cave. it is clean inside but full of dark. They all came out. Vihaan looked at the mini rock which is present inside the cave. Vihaan sensed something and neared it. He moved it a little and saw some things behind it.

Vihaan- "inga pirikatha parcel iruku. anegama ini than Ajju papava kootitu varuvaan. vanga velila wait panalam, avanga intha gugai kulla varum pothu velila ninnu, paathutu apadiae kilambidalam"

Dharshini- " oru vela varalaina?". Vihaan turned towards and had his hand in hip.  Dharshini looked at him pleadingly.

Vihaan- " unaku puriutha purialaya shalu, naama nikurathu kitathita avanga bed room la.. ipo avan namala paatha athu evlo tharmasangadama irukum theriuma? athoda papa ku enna dress eduthu kuduthurukan nu theriala.. Normal ah iruntha atha veetla vachu kuduthurupaan. inga vanthu kuduthatha paatha, i think that is special within them."

Aishwarya- " kovapadatheenga anna. avanga personal space kulla varama, avanga nalla irukanga nu therinjuka mudiuma nu yosinga please.."

Madhav and Vihaan looked at each other. They can feel the care behind their stubbornness. 

Madhav- " okay, unnoda mobile kudu., en mobile ku call panren,.. connected la irukatum.. en mobile la enna nadakuthunu kekalam.. okay vaa?"

Aishwarya and Dharshini smiled widely nodding affirmatively the next second. Madhav did as per his words and placed the phone in a hiding place.

Madhav- " but oru alavuku thaan, personal ah pona, cut panidanuven". They both nodded understandingly. 

Dharshini- " one minute...naan velila poi unga mobile la ketu pakuren anna, clear ah kekuthanu.. ethukum check panidalam"

Vihaan- " avanugaluku oru problem na, kandipa sathama thaan pesuvanga.. Ajju-vum sari, papa-vum sari kaadu athirura alavuku kathuvanga.. intha mike check ellam theva illa".

Dharshini pouted a little and looked down thinking about the next statement to argue. Madhav gave his mobile biting his lips to control his smile. Dharshini got it from him with a smile and went out. Aishwarya spoke from various places inside the cave and checked whether it is audible. Dharshini returned back. 

They heard sounds of someone running. On keenly observing, not one but more than one. Vihaan clutched Dharshini hand and Madhav clutched Aishwarya hand. They started to run out and hide themselves behind the cave. The heard a heavy laughter sound too. They slowly peeked out to see whether it is Arjun and Sujithra. There came their most awaited couple with full of happiness, enthusiasm, love, naughtiness. They themselves glowed in love, the spark in the eyes when one look at another. 

They both are in twinning in white dress just like the image and also they jumped like butterflies. Dharshini and Aishwarya left out a long breathe with a wide smile. They felt like they are relieved from the huge burden. 

Arjun caught Sujithra, twirled her with giggling. Sujithra laughed and dashed on him. He lifted her and dropped near the cave.

Arjun- " tata, ithu thaan nan sonna gugai..", He said enthusiastically. 

Sujithra giggled, " katuvasi payale, unaku epadi thaan kaatuku oru gugai kidaikutho theriala...". All four bite their lips to control their chuckling or giggling.

Arjun- " ellam intha paal -kari (milk women) ku parisu kuduka thaan", he teased in the same tone.  Madhav and Vihaan widened their eyes.

Sujithra held her hand in her hips and said in a serious tone, " naan onum paal kari illa, inoru thadava ippadi sonna apuram avlo thaan "

Arjun laughed and said, " unaku pudicha sweet enna?", Sujithra bite her lips. 

Arjun- " athu enaku pudicha sweet, naan ketathu unaku pudicha sweet..". Sujithra furrowed her eyebrows and then widened her eyes and started to beat him. 

Sujithra- " nee vara vara romba mosam aththaan", she told in a shocked voice.

Arjun- " apuram kalyanam pannathu ethuku? vedika pakava?", He winked at her. He repeated the same line which she said once before when she attempt to tease him. 

Sujithra chuckled and said, " paara enakeva? naan sonnapo nee unmaialyae vedika thaan pathaa aththaan. ganbagam irukatum"

They bravely cutely fight between themselves with 3/4th of love mixed with 1/4th of lust. They openly fight and they share love in a different way. 

Arjun- " athellam appo. divert panatha. en kulanthai iruka vendia vayuthula fulla sweet than iruku,... Nee sapdurathu mostly milk products than... en papaku idam irukumo ennavo.. ", he teased her. 

Sujithra put his one hand on her hip, rest her body on one side, raised her eyebrows and stated, " enna Arjunare, kolupu koodutho.. intha counter ku pathil-la naan seyal la kaatuven. jakirathai..", she pointed him with her forefinger.

Arjun widened his eyes and neared her, " Ethey!! jiira kutty, chuma daa.. una vambilukama naan yara vambiluka poren.. chella kutty la.. pavam di naan"

Sujithra twisted her lips and said, "Haiya romba thaan...  sari sari vaa ulla polam.. intha gugai la enna pani vachiruka nu paaka enaku asaiah iruku.."

Arjun -" haan iru iru oru nimisham..". Sujithra stopped and looked at him. Arjun extended his hands and she jumped on him. Arjun lifted her by hugging her and entered the cave.

Arjun- " vaanga idhaya raani.. "

Sujithra giggled loudly with a whining," aththaan.."

Madhav and Vihaan left out a long breathe and glared at the girls behind. Girls didn't budge anything, they are looking at them with smiling face. Girls are happy since they saw Arjun and Sujithra, who is all smiling and safe. They all started to move towards the car slowly without making much noise. Aishwarya is having the mobile in her hand. Their side is muted. 

Vihaan glared at Dharshini often, but she didn't looked at him. Vihaan shake his head as no and moved forward. In the mobile, they heard only foot steps for seconds,

In the cave, 

Sujithra- " enna Arjunare ithellam? sir peria list ae vachuruka pola"

Arjun- " naala paaru di athula un list um iruku..", he seated unfortunately a little near to the mobile which is hidden by Madhav.

Sujithra looked around, giggled and said, " oh, appo ithellam than inga nadaka pogutha.. athuku thaan intha dress ah?"

Arjun- " yes, en jirra kutty inaiku enkita Cinderella va irupa.. Naama kadhal atho antha first picture la arambichu antha picture varaikum nadakkum"

Sujithra- " oho.. apuram?"

Arjun- "athuku munandi oru visayam iruku. kita vaadi... evlo chinna gugai-ah choose panalum, enna vitu thalli iruka unaku epadi thaan idam kidaikutho..". 

Sujithra sat near to him. Arjun pulled her towards him. 

Arjun- " jiira kutty, ippo naama mattum thaniah thaan irukom.. relaxed ah irukom, I hope we can now .... shall we?"

That side, Vihaan and Madhav widened their eyes. Madhav picked his phone from Aishwarya hurriedly and was about to cut the call. But he didn't after hearing the next line from his lovable sister. 

Sujithra- " smoke pathi thane, pesalam aththaan. ippo nijamave naan relaxed ah iruken.. Nee pathiah? onnu illa rendu smoke irunthathu"

That side, everyone stood rooted on hearing the statement.

Arjun lied in her lap and started, " Pathaen. Naama matum illa, anna, Maddy, anni, akka nu ellarumae paathanga. Naan bike key eduka, paati-ah cross panum pothu akkavum anni-um bayanthanga. anna-vum Maddy-um ready ah irunthanga. I noticed everything. rendu smoke-aium naan pathen "

Sujithra- " nee ethuku venumnae peria paatiah suthi poi bike key edutha?"

Arjun- " antha smoke oda kuri naan illa nu unartha thaan."

That side, all four widened their eyes. Arjun never miss to amaze and shock them. He didn't miss even a single chance. He has his way in identifying things with his love.

Sujithra-" yerkanave naan romba confused ah iruken aththaan, please konjam clear ah pesu. onume puriala.. intha smoke yaaru? namala yaen suthanum.. naama aduthu enna than pananum? "

Arjun -" jiira kutty, intha kelvi ellam pathil solla Maddy-ala mattum thaan mudium. But athuku muthalla un annan theda arambikanum"

Sujithra- " summa en anan-kita vanthu nikatha aththaan."

Arjun chuckled and said, "appo unkita irunthu varen... Jiira kutty, antha smoke kita enna mathiriyana powers iruku nu naamaku oru alavuku therium. Avlo powers irunthum antha smoke, powers ah use pannama yaen tactic ah kolla try panathunu yosichurukiah?"

Sujithra looked at him with confusion and said, " en kita etho powers iruku. atha paathu athuku bayam.."

Arjun - " correct, but unakulla irukura power ennanu unarathava nee. Powers ah pathina knowledge illatha simple girl nee. appo kooda yaen athu unna paathu avlo bayapuduthu?"

Sujithra gave this question a thought.

Arjun- " think di chella kutty. Maddy matum illa, neeum unna unaranum"

Sujithra- " clue kudu aththaan"

Arjun -" unaium ariyama un powers eppo ellam velila vanthathu?".Sujithra slowly remembered the things and her eyes shined in realization.

Arjun- " chinna kulanthaila Maddy ah kaapatha, Sangu nathar koyil la enna en annan adikama thaduka, delhi la enna ilanthudivio-nra bayathula.."

Sujithra widened her eyes and said, " appo en powers ah pathi naan unara koodathunu thaan antha smoke ipadi olinju vilyadutha.."

Arjun- " correct jiira kutty. smoke athoda powers ah use panni defeat panna try pannum pothellam un powers-um unake theriama activate aguthu.. yosichu paaru, anna marriage ku munandi, malaila naanum anna vum sanda potapo nee vantha.. Un voice keta adutha nodi enaku reality-um illution-um maari maari vanthathu..I am confused and terrified. Antha black smoke abrupt ah enna vitu poiduchu.."

Sujithra nodded her head and asked," enaku eppo ganbagam ellam varum aththaan? enna panna ganbagam varum?"

Arjun- "  ithuku pathila Maddy than solanum."

Sujithra- "anna ku theriuma? nee enna solra?"

Arjun -' un annan than namala guide panraan. itha avan realize panitana nu theriala.. but avan edukura decision thaan namaloda adutha step. Avan thaan namma captain.. haan, ipadi vachukalam, namma Captain Jack Sparrow."

Sujithra chuckled and said, "vachukalam vachukalam, aana epadi solra aththaan?"

Arjun -" naama love panathuku apuram naama thirumba meet panathuku help panathu Maddy thaane? athoda,  'ini piriya maten' nu enkita promise vanga sonathu en annanum un annanum thaane.."

Sujithra - " amam athaan. first sonathu avanga thaan. apuram thaan thaadi thatha sonaru, apuram than unmai ellam konjam konjama velila vanthachu"

Arjun- " namma kalyanathuku thaali eduthu kuduthathu yaaru?"

Sujithra- " annan thaan"

Arjun chuckled and said, " Chennai plan, anni-um anna-ium ore idathula thanga vachathu Maddy thaan. Dwaraka project ah eduthathu maddy thaan, namaku moonu head office iruku, aana delhi ah choose panni approval ku anupinathu Maddy thaan"

Sujithra started to think in that way and said, " amam athaan, unna kaapatha guide pannathu annan thaan, delhi la guide panathu kooda annan thaan. aana, athu ellam just .."

Arjun- " fluke ah vo coincidence ah vo irukalam.. namma enna peru venalum vachukalam.. unmai ennana Madhavanala mattum thaan namma adutha step ennanu decide panna mudium.", he teasingly said," hmm, enaku enamo avan Jack Sparrow style la thaan kootitu povan nu thonuthu.. "

Sujithra- " Captain Jack Sparrow"

Arjun -" adangappa"

Sujithra chuckled and said, " sari, athu varaikum intha smoke thirumba thirumba vanthukitae irukuma?"

Arjun- " Jiira kutty athu just oru smoke illa. neraiah peru smoke ah irukanga"

Sujithra- " ethu?"

Arjun sat up with a smirk and said, " hey jiira, en annana enna ninacha nee? avan evlo peria veeran theriuma? aandavane boomiku vanthu plot ah plan pannanum avana samalika.. apadi patta en annanuku ethiri after all just oru smoke ah?" he smirked and said," silly.. Jiira unala epadi ipadi guess panna mudiuthu.. Avana vidu.. naan yaarunu maranthutiah? naan arjunan di..", he said with a proud filled voice. 

Sujithra knocked his head heavily even the sound is heard aloud.

Arjun- " aah, ethuku di kottuna?"

Sujithra- " un thalaiku yerinatha irakatha thaan kotinaen.. Arjunan ah peria ivana nee? neeya onum polachu varala.. un saavoda poradinathu naanga.. Un savoda poradinathu naan.. en usura nambikkaiah kaila pudichukitu utkanthirunthathu naan. you counted your days, but i counted literally every seconds.", She clutched his shirt and shouted with tear filled eyes. 

Arjun said in his base voice, " jiira kutty, relax.. relax.. naan just vilayatuku sonaen. just unna vambiluthaen."

Sujithra sobbed with slight trembling. Arjun hugged her and rubbed her back. 

Arjun- " jiira kutty, ellam mudinchu. en uyiruku ini problem illa. I am fine. naan un kooda thaan iruken.". Sujithra slowly calmed down. 

There is a prevailed silence. After a minute, 

Arjun - " Jiira ipadi antha situation ah pathi pesinale nee hype agurathu nallathu illa. ithuku ore oru reason thaan iruka mudium, unaku reality inum strong ah feel agala.."

Sujithra looked at him questioningly.

Arjun- " nee onum kavalapadatha, ithuku oru treatment iruku.."

Sujithra raised her eyebrow and asked," enna treatment."

Arjun -" it is just simple Jiira kutty. intha kutty vayuthula en xerox laium, un xerox-laium oru naalu kulanthaiah sumanthu, normal delivery la petha ellam sariah poidum"

Sujithra started to beat him saying," arambichuduviae un velaiah, entha oorla pulla pekuratha treatment aakinanaga? haan.."

Arjun caught her hands and said, " promise jiira kutty. nee venumna akka-kitiaum anni-kitaium ketu. Normal delivery is equal to rebirth and solves mental pressure and mental problems. ", he said in a serious tone.

Sujithra- " sari, apadi paatha kooda, oru kulanthai, rendu kulanthai petha ellam sari agatha, naalu kulanthai thaan pethukanuma.."

Arjun -" naan solala, un power unaku therialainu.. you can do it Jiira kutty.. ithu ellam unaku chappa matter. yetho ennala mudinjathunu naan naalu nu sonaen.. But un power vera level theriuma? Nambikkai vitratha.. think big.. You can achieve..", he imitated as a motivational speaker.

Sujithra- " unna ellam.. poo aththaan.. ", She giggled and Arjun too joined. They both laughed happily.

Sujithra-  " namaku time illa aththaan. vambilukama sollu. antha smoke neriah perunu epadi solra? nee enna guess panra?"

Arjun smiled and said, " enna kollapathatha smoke ah, nee antha nimishamae alichuta jiira kutty... inaiku naama veetla paatha smoke vera.. I mean smoke ah varathu namala suthi varathu, just rendu persons illa, avanga neraiah per irukanga. I am sure it is definitely a group."

Sujithra palpitated and said, " epadi athaan avlo confirm ah solra? "

Arjun -" Jiira kutty, neenga ellarum atha oru pugaia thaan patheenga. athukulla irukura uruvatha en maranathoda sernthu pathavan naan. enna kollapaatha rendu smoke-aium unarthavan naan. athoda mugatha naan pathaen enaku nalla ganabagam iruku..

Sujithra widened her eyes in shock and said, " aththaan..", She whispered.
