Sujithra - " sari sari kattipudichu mudichachunna thirumbunga aduthu pesalam", she said in a bored  and slightly irritated tone. 

Vihaan knocked her head and said, " en thambi enna hug panrathula unaku yenna?"

Sujithra- "mama, aduthu ennanu pesa vendama.. time aachu, pothum thalunga rendu perum", she pushed both away.  Arjun and Vihaan chuckled. 

Arjun naughtily said, "amam anna, time aachu, veetuku poitu naama continue panalam, naan un room ku varen."

Sujithra panted and said, " appadiae un annan roomlaye irunthiru apuram.. intha centiment ku ivlo neram katti pudicha pothum.. mama, muthalla nee akka kita poo. unaku than kalayanam mudinchulla.... poi un pondatiah katti pudi ethuku en purushana katti pudichukitu iruka??", Vihaan and Arjun laughed. 

Sujithra pushed Vihaan towards Dharshini. Vihaan giggled moving away and neared Dharshini. Sujithra sat between them, took Arjun's hand and held it with her.

Sujithra- " haan, ipo aduthatha pesunga", She said in an ordering tone a slight permitting tone. 

Vihaan- " enna senior avana pudichu vachukariah?"

Sujithra- " mama... oru senior ah solren.. partner ah kaikulla vachukurathu valkaiku nallathu.. pothuva ithu puriurathuku varushangal aagum, but nee oru smart boy athanala naan sollum pothe kathuko"

Vihaan- " adingu..", he stood up and tried to knock her. Arjun hide her behind him.

Arjun -' anna anna, time aachu.. inum neraiah pesa vendiathu iruku. un papa va apuram adichukalam.. ipo visayathuku vaa.."

Vihaan- " naan enna da sollanum?"

Arjun- " Pratap pathi inum nee onume solala.."

Sujithra- peeked out and asked, " athanae Kalyanathuku munnadi nee meet pani pesuniam.. engaluku news vanthiruchu.. enna link rendu perukum.. ipo ethuku avaru en aththaan vambikku iluthitu irukaaru"

Vihaan- " oh, appo Pratap ah enaku epadi theirum nu ungaluku theriathu apadi thane", He raised his one eyebrow and asked. 

Arjun- " same college nu therium, avlo than anna. nee than thuri ku mapla pathiah?"

Vihaan- " illa, da.. Thuri ku mapla paathathu Maddy than, Naan illa"

Arjun and Sujithra looked at Madhav with shock. 

Sujithra- " athane pathaen, ennada un entry inum varalayae nu.. arambamae nee thana anna?"

Madhav chuckled.

Arjun- " ethukaga thuri ku nee mapla paatha Maddy. enaku puriala. enna thaan nadanthathu?"

Madhav- " Enna than Vihaan-ukum Pratap-kum sandai vanthalum, avan enkita nalla than pesuvaan. avanuku namma family pathi nalla theirum. engalukum avana pathi nalla therium.. Pratap ku ivana vambiluka romba pudikum, rendu perum apadi malluku nippanga.. college mudium pothu oru mathiri samathana paduthi vachaen.. apuram ellarum job poyachu, pirinchachu, phone contact mattum thaan... oru thadava namma oor thiruvila pathi avanuku sonaen.. avanum pakurathuku ooruku vanthaan"

Sujithra- " munnadiyae vanthirukaara? enaku paatha gnabagamae illa"

Arjun- " enakum patha mathiri illa? athu epadi?"

Vihaan- " avan namma veetla thangala.. Room eduthu thangi, thiruvila pathaan.. Maddy thaan avanuku room eduthu kuduthu pathukitathu.. Pratap pakanumnu ninachathu thiruvilava mattum illa, unga rendu peraium thaan"

Arjun- " ethu? avan ethuku en jiira kutty ah pakanum", he automatically clutched her hand and asked in mild anger. Vihaan and Madhav chuckled a little. 

Madhav-" Naanga adikadi ungala pathi pesuvom.. so ungala nerla pakanumnu avan ketaan athaan vara sonaen. but, antha thiruvila ku nee varala, Arjuna... Papa vum Madhu-vum thaan vanthirunthanga.. antha thiruvila la thaan avan madhu va first time paathan.."

Arjun -" paara kandathum kadhala". Vihaan and Madhav chuckled.

Vihaan- " kadhala nu theriala aana avunuku madhu va pudichurunthathu.. Avan madhuva paakum pothu avan kannula oru minnal irunthathu. aana, antha nerathula enakum madhukum marriage ku pesinanga.."

Sujithra- " pochuda, ipo itha karanama vachu rendu perum marupadium sanda poteengala? ", Vihaan fake glare at her via corner of his eyes. 

Madhav- " illa Suji ma, veetla pesurnaga nu therinjathum sorry nu solitu Pratap amaithiyagitaan. sollapona athuku apurma thaan Vihaan-ukum Pratap-ukum nalla understanding vanthathu.. Friends aananga. Meet pananumnu asaiah vanthavan, yaraiume meet panala.. vendam nu solitaan."

Arjun- " vithayasamana friendship ah iruku.. analum bayama iruku.. anna enaku oru sathyam panni kudu", he hesitantly asked him.

Vihaan laughed and said, " illa Arjuna, intha piraivila enaku epavumae nee than first. athoda Pratap enaku avlo peria help ellam ethuvum panala naan than panirukaen, avanuku"

Sujithra- " nee enna help panna? oru vela madhu va correct panna idea kuduthiah mama?"

Vihaan screwed her ear and said, " ennaium ungala mathiri ninachutiah?"

Sujithra- " athane, nee matum idea kuduthuruntha ineram oru pullai kaila, oru pulal vayuthula nu vanthirupa.. ungaluku avlo vivaram pathathunu solrathu sariah pochu". 

Vihaan- " unna.."

Arjun came between them and said, " pothum pothum.. Jiira kutty, divert panatha.. yerkanave flashback ah oru flow illama than solranga.. ithula nee vera kulapatha."

Madhav- " enna flow illama solren? "

Arjun- " nee aduthu ennanu sollu maddy, athuku apuram naan solren enga flow miss achunu."

Madhav- " enaku Jadhagam set agathunu thonuchu.. athoda rendu peroda character kum suthama set agathunu theliva therinjathu. So Pratap kita, veetla than pesuranga ivanga rendu perukum antha idea illai enna panrathunu yosichukitu irukom nu solli vachirunthaen.. "

Sujithra- " un velaiah kaatiruka.. hmmm, apuram?"

Vihaan- "appo thaan jadhagam porunthuthu nu antha pisasu athai oru shock kuduthanga.. thatha ku doubt vanthu, jadhaga eduthukitu 'guruva pathutu vantharen, avar sari nu sonna vanthathum engagement vachukalam nu' solitu kilambitaru."

Madhav- " avar panna orae thappu, vanthu engagement vachukalam nu extra oru line solitu ponathu.. chithi athayae pudichukitu, en ponnuku engagement nadaka poguthunu ellarukum solitanga... ellaraiumae thatha vanthum engagement nadakum nra alavuku nambavachutanga.. sila peru engagement mudinchu nu kooda pesa arambichutanga.."

Arjun gritted his teeth in tension. Sujithra too fisted her hand to control her anger. it is clear that they are coming across those days in thoughts.

Vihaan- " ennala Madhu va wife ah paka mudiala. enna panalam nu yosichapo, Thatha kita jadhagam set agalainu poi solla solli kekalam nu decide panirunthaen.. ithu thaan enga plan ah irunthathu.."

Madhav- " athe samayam Pratap, Madhu-va maraka mudiuma thavikurathu avankita pesum pothu therinjathu. athanala naan thaan Pratap kita solli avanga side la irunthu Madhu-va ponnu keka sonaen. General ah ponnu kekura mathiri.. Thatha varathukaga ready ah irunthom.. aana nangalae ethir pakathathu, neeum madhu-vum ore room la apadi matinathu thaan.. "

Arjun looked at Madhav with tear filled painful eyes. Sujithra clutched his hand and rubbed with her thumb finger gently.  

Vihaan chuckled and said, " enga plan padi, Thatha vanthathum kalyanam vendam nu solitaru. Pratap um ponnu ketu vanthaan. naanga suthama ethir pakathathu athuku munandi antha pisasu panna galatta thaan."

Madhav- " Pratap namma alavuku panakaran. so chithi udane antha sammanthatha othukitanga.. Pratap ku etho problem nala marriage stop aachunu theirum, but ennanu clear ah theriathu.. Naan romba atha pathi kekaathanu soliteaen.. Apuram, chithi adikadi vanthu Pratap, Madhu kooda stay pananga.. Pratap ah monitor panra mathiri avanuku thonuchu.. So, Chithi ku doubt vanthira koodathunu contact panrathu illa. apadiae contact mothama poiduchu.."

Sujithra- " appo, kalyanathuku munandi neenga rendu perum pesinatha sonnathu?"

Madhav- " athu avangalukulla Pratap sonna poi. May be Madhu konjam avlaoda circle la velila vannthu avan kooda palaganumnu solirukalam "

Arjun- " epadi Maddy solra?"

Madhav- " Chithi, Pratap ah vendam nu solida koodathunu naanga friends nu kaamichukala.. yaro mathiri thaan nadanthukitom.. So Madhu perspective la paatha, Pratap ava amma paatha mapla. athanala kooda bayanthu othungirukalam.. ava kita poi solli Pratap palagirukalam"

Sujithra- " ithu ellam guess ah illa Pratap sonnara anna?". Madhav smiled. Vihaan too look at them with a smile. 

Arjun- " marriage ku kooda koopdalaya?"

Madhav- " avan number not reachable la irunthathu, so contact panna mudiala .. ipo pesum  pothu thaan theirum, avan number mathitanam.. phone adanchu thannila vilunthiruchu, sim useless agiduchu nu vera number mathitanam"

Arjun - " nee etho help panatha soniae Pratap ku athu ennathu?"

Vihaan- " annaiku avlo peria prachanai nadakkum pothu naan, 'Madhu va kalyanam panikaren' nu oru varthai solli prachanaiah mudichurukalam.. Aana enaku appo Pratap than gnabagathuku vanthaan. Kandipa Madhu avala nesikura oruthana thaan kalyanam panikanumnu thonuchu, appo than ava life santhosama irukumnu thonuchu..  Athanala thaan antha pisasu avlo drama panium, Madhu va adichum, 'naan Kalyanam panika maten' nu adamant ah ninaen."

Arjun and Sujithra remained silent. They are just processing the words they heard from them. There is a lot happened. Arjun rubbed his face and combed his hair. It is clear that he is going through all the things happened.. 

Arjun- " ippo enna plan panirukeenga Madhu ku?"

Aishwarya- " muthalla ava enna nadanthathunu sollanum, apuram thaan engalala ethuvum panna mudium"

Sujithra- " ava solla maata"

Dharshini- " apo neenga sollunga, engaluku enna visayam nu therinja pothu.."

Arjun and Sujithra looked at her with shock once and then they looked at each other. 

Aishwarya- " naanga ellarum enga point of view la enna nadanthathunu solitom.. ipo nee than Arjun solanum.. enna nadanthathunu?"

Arjun looked at Dharshini once and then looked at Vihaan pleadingly. 

Dharshini- "Arjun, inga paaru." Arjun looked at her. 

Dharshini- " nee thappu panala.. nee entha thappum panala. Trust me. There is no right or wrong in this world. it is just the situation and perception which says right or wrong."

Aishwarya- " arjun naanga rendu perum unna judge panna matom. Nanga rendu perume doctors. Engaluku udambu perusu illa. manasu thaan mukiam. ipo nee enga mela evlo mariyathaium anbum vachirukanu engaluku therium.. perusa etha ninaichum kavala padama share pannu da"

Arjun looked down without without telling something. Sujithra looked at Madhav. 

Madhav smiled and said, " Arjun, Suji kooda oru walk poitu vaa. naanga inga thana irupom. "

Sujithra stood up the next second, Arjun nodded and moved away with her. Vihaan and Madhav looked at them.

Aishwarya- " neenga Arjun kita enna nadanthathunu kekalaya?"

Madhav- " illa waru, Appo avan romba disturbed ah irunthaan. so naanga ethuvum kekala. avana solluvannu paathom but solala.. Apadiyae maranthutom"

Dharshini- " avan ivlo thayangura alavuku enna nadanthirukum"

Vihaan- "Moonu perum kootu kalavani Shalu.. Marriage pathi pesinathaku apuram Ajju-vum papa-vum pala idea kuduthu Madhuva enkooda korthu vitrukanga.. "

Madhav- " Ajjuvum, Suji-um pirinchu iruntha time la kooda, leave ku varum pothu ellam Madhu kooda sernthu enamo panite irupanga.. Ajju varum pothu avan Madhu kooda deep discussion la irupaan, Suji vantha avalum Madhu kooda sernthu plan panitu irupaa.. Athunala thaan ippo solla thayanguranga pola.. Chithi ku bayanthu madhu ivana handle panra try panalam nu decide panni ivanga kita kenjirukanum, help ketu.."

Vihaan- " in short, enna correct panrathuku Madhu ku idea kuduthurukanga rendu perum.. athaan ipo solla mudiama thayanguranga.."

Dharshini- "athaan ellam guess panreengalla, ithu ellam oru visayame illa share pannu Ajju nu avan kita solrathukku enanga?"

Vihaan- " naan solli unna avan namba koodathu Shalu.. avanaa unarnthu unna nambanum"

Aishwarya- " unga kudumbathukae  intha dialogue ku mattum korachalaae illa...", she twisted her lips. Vihaan and Madhav chuckled.

On the other side, 

Sujithra- " aththaan relax.. enna ithu ivlo stress agura?"

Arjun- " itha epadi share panrathunu puriala jiira kutty, epadi anni kitayae poi anna va correct panna madhu ku idea kuduthen nu solrathu"

Sujithra- " atha nee yaen correct panrathunu solra.. oru understanding create panna try panom nu sollu.."

Arjun looked at her via corner of his eyes. Sujithra smiled with a get caught look..
