Durga got only in the afternoon. Once she woke up, she is not sure how she slept till that time. She opened her eyes and looked at the surrounding. Sanjeev is taking in phone very seriously. Durga realized that she spoiled all his plans for a day. Her stomach growled in hungriness. 

She got up to refresh herself. She looked down at her cloth. She is sure that she didn't wear by herself. She cleared her mind and went to refresh herself. She came out once done. Sanjeev is done with his phone conversation. 

Sanjeev- "enna silvandu enthirichutiah? ippo epadi iruku? inum tired ah iruka?"

Durga- "illa Jeeva. naan okay thaan. Sorry Jeeva, enala un vela kettu pochu. nee inaiku engaium pogala thane?"

 Sanjeev - "velai ellam mudinchuduchu silvandu.. rendu naala day and night namma alainchathala, inaiku alaiyama roomlaye irukanu nu mudivu panirunthen.. So antha plan padi thaan ellamae poguthu.. nee en vela ethaium kedukala.."

Durga- "intha dress, nee thane.. ", she ask him with a little hesitation.. 

Sanjeev- "ena thavira inorithan thotuduvana unna? naan than ellam panen.. unaku pasikalaya? ivlo kelvi ketutu iruka? nanum sapdama wait panitu iruken.."

Durga- "vaa Jeeva first sapdalam..". They had their food together. Once done, they both sat in the bed. 

Durga- "aduthu enna pana porom Jeeva?"

Sanjeev- "rest thaan eduka porom.. nee tired ah irukanu theliva theriuthu..". 

Durga- "avlo onum tired ah illa". 

Durga muttered and went to deep thinking. Sanjeev looked at her and left out a long breathe.

Durga- "Jeeva, naan unna epadi kekurathu thaan yosichutu iruken,  athavathu.. epadi correct ah kekurathu nu"

Sanjeev- "nee entha varthai ah sonalum, atha entha arthatha ninachu solranu enala purinjuka mudium.. unaku nambikai iruntha yosikama kelu.."

Durga- "athu vanthu nethu nadanthathu, namaku onum first time illa.."

Sanjeev neared her and back hugged her after moving her hairs to a side. He then stated, "amam"

Durga- "aana epavum ivlo tired aanathu illayae.. ivlo nera thookam, ivlo tiredness.. yen Jeeva?"

Sanjeev- "paravallayae tired ah irukanu othukura..", he placed his chin in her shoulder. 

Durga- "Jeeva..", she whined. 

Sanjeev- "ella time-um namma ore mathiri panrathu illa ", he kissed her back side of neck, shoulder and blow air to the front. 

Durga- "kusuthu Jeeva", she giggled. He took her in his lap, made her sit comfortable.

Sanjeev mumbled in her ear stating, " naan entha alavuku unna anubavichu eduthukureno antha alavuku unaku tired irukum.. ", She felt goosebumps all over her body. 

Sanjeev kissed her ear and as a reflex she left out a breathe that she hold till now. She felt a difference in him.. 

Durga- "nee konjam vithyasama nadathukura, unkita oru change theriuthu..". Sanjeev eyes shined and a spark is felt in it. 

Sanjeev- "romba yosikatha silvandu, apuram thalaium valikum"

Durga- "eppo return kilamburom?

Sanjeev- "inaiku night". Durga nodded, there is a prevailed silence.

Durga- "paduthukanum pola iruku". She badly needs that. even though she had enough sleep, she want to lie down.

They both lied down on the bed. Durga hugged him and Sanjeev reacted to her in the same way. After some minutes, Durga slept. Sanjeev got up and started his work along with the packing of things. 

Once Durga woke up again, they both started in a hour to reach the train. During the travel she didn't slept, but leaned on him and always attached to him. They have their hand in hand. He spoon feed her the dinner. They talked a little and silent most of the time. This gives her a different feel. Through out the travel, they didn't had much to talk. They didn't had intense moments as well. But these lovable touches and the silent moment with him next to her gave a different feel to her.  

Leaning on him and watching the darkness outside the window in a dim light with a pleasant cool air around her gives a meaning to peace and heaven to her. She loved all kind of opportunities with him. Sanjeev played mild romantic music in his playlist and they both listened.  

He hugged her, while listening and they both stayed still feeling the lyrics of the song for each line. He is a man who has his own ways, always. 

All the film she watch didn't educate her that there is such a feeling exist in this world in silence. 

The hug is also not tight, it is a gentle and comfort hug. Undoubtedly he is a dipole person. Ruff, hard, wild in private and gentle, care, lovely in public. 

They reached their home town the next day. They got ready themselves to get down from the train. Durga' s family waited for them in the station. 

Durga rushed to them and hugged Vetrivel and Radhika....

Durga- "appa, amma naan vanthuten..". This is the first time she stepped towards them. She is offering a hug to them. 

She is always in the receiving end before this trip and this change surprises not only Vetrivel and Radhika but Veera and Vikram too. Vetrivel kissed her forehead and Radhika kissed at her cheeks.  Veera and Vikram got the bags from her hand. 

The next moment she shouted "Veera anna" and hugged him contently. Next she moved to Vikram and happily shouted, "Vikky anna" with a hug. Sanjeev is watching everything with his hands in pocket. The whole family smiled for the whole time.

Vetrivel- "travel ellam okay va? anga unaku ellam okay va irunthatha?"

Durga- "hmm, Jeeva enna nalla paathukitan appa. nalla irunthathu.. enaku oru asai iruku paa"

Vetrivel- "enna?"

Durga- "Neenga case deal panum pothu, unga koodavum amma koodavum irukanum pa.. Neenga rendu perum epadi oru case ah deal panuveenganu pakanum... Jeeva kooda irukum pothu, enaku unga rendu per koodavum irukanum nu thonuchu.. Kootitu poveengala?"

Vetrivel and Radhika looked at each other. She started to demand things. 

Radhika- "kalyanam mudiatum panidalam..". They reached their car and moved inside it. 

Durga widened her eyes but didnt responded anything since her mind has many questions. She took her time to frame it looking down and arguing inside her. 

Sanjeev- "enna yosikura silvandu?"

Durga- "kandipa kootitu poveengala? eppo kalyanam nu rendu question kekanum atha epadi kekurathu?", she voiced without second thought, in a low voice. 

Before Sanjeev replies to her Vetrivel started the conversation.. 

Vetrivel- "thiruvila mudinja rendavathu naal kalyanam.. nalaila irunthu thiruvila arambikuthu. pathirika adichu kuduka arambichachu."

Radhika- "Namma valaka padi, koyil mandapathula thaan kalyanam.. inga kalyanatha mudichutu appuram Chennai poi oru reception vachukalam"

Sanjeev just nodded his head. Durga keenly observed everything. 

Durga looked at Vikram via corner of her eyes once and then asked, "naan Sangeetha akka kita design venum nu ketrunthene.. avanga inga varuvangala? illa courier panuvangala"

Radhika- "veetla thaan irukanga, nethu vanthanga..."

Durga- "oh, appo nee nijaamve poi kootitu vanthutiah anna? super..", she looked at Vikram and asked.. Vetrivel and Radhika looked at him.

Vikram- "nana? naan, naan illa... Sir family ah thiruvilaku vanthirukanga.. " this is the first time he struggled to speak. 

Others giggled. Vikram looked at Durga and She winked. Vikram widened his eyes. 

Durga- "ellarum dress select paniyacha Veera anna?"

Veera- "oru alavuku paniyachu papa, nee vanthu oru thadava paathuta mudinchidum"

Durga- "hmm, epadium nee Chandhu anni-um ore dolor dress thane eduthirupeenga? couple goals mathiri.. ithula naan enna paka iruku.. surprise ah irukatum, nee yerkanave plan panna mathiri, naan marriage anaiku pakuren."

Veera stopped the car abruptly and turned around to look at her. He never expect her to speak like this and there is no such plan either. She intentionally took told that. 

Durga bite her lips to control the smile. Vetrivel raised his one eyebrow at Veera. He struggled to utter a single word. Radhika and Sanjeev chuckled silently.

Sanjeev- "Veera, car ah otikitae shock aagu..", he mocked. Sanjeev and Durga looked at each other once with a smile. 

Veera started the car after wiping the sweat in his forehead. They reached their home and everyone got down. Once Vetrivel and Radhika moved aside, Veera screwed Durga' s ears. 

Veera- "matiya vidara kada kutty?"

Durga- "pch, ipadi ellam pana thane aduthu un kalyana pechu edupanga.. ipo nee same color la dress koda potukalam, kandukka matanga.. Naan unaku help than paniruken anna". Veera looked at her with an unbelievable look. In the mean while, he left her ear. She ran away inside. 

Vikram stood behind him and stated, "paapa ipadi maati vidurathu nalla irukulla.. kanavu ellam palikura mathiri iruku.."

Sanjeev neared them and ask, " ennada ninnuteenga? bag edunga daa"

Vikram and Veera without any word hugged him contently. The trio had a group hug. The happiness and smile in their face make Sanjeev to feel content. 

Durga mingled with everyone and after showering their love to her Mohana gave her their invitation card. She also notice that Grandpa and Grandma are about to head out to distribute the invitations.

Durga blushed while looking at the invitation. She slowly moved her eye balls and looked at Sanjeev. He is already looking at her like he is going to eat her. 

Durga felt goosebumps all over her body. She slightly panted. Sanjeev winked at her. She bite her lips to control her smile and blush and then looked down. Soon Mohana and Chandhini dragged her to their room to have their moments. 

Sanjeev smiled and joined the elders in the arrangements.
