Vikram was thinking about the incident that happened 4 days before( that was before she started ignoring him)

She was watering the flowers in the garden..

Vikram saw that and came down to spend some time with her..

Vikram: hey..enna pannitu irukka..

Sitara: hey hii..patha therilaya vikramey..

Vikram: hmm theriuthu.. Oru butterfly flowers ku watering pannitu iruku..

She glared him..

Sitara: vara vara romba cheesy ah pesureenga..

Vikram smiled sheepishly..

Sakthi came there at that time..

Sakthi: Hey amul baby inga enna panitu irukkeenga..

Vikram: dei..thakkali chedii..

Sakthi: broooooo...

Vikram: ne enna amul baby nu koopdra athan nan unna thakali chedi nu koopten..

Sakthi: ponga bro..inime na koopta matten..

Vikram hugged sakthi by his neck playfully..

Vikram: deii..summa sonen da..kochukatha..

Sakthi: cha..cha..nammaku intha kovam kevam la varathu bro..only fun..

Vikram chuckled..

Vanathi noticed all these from the balcony and she came down to them..

Vanathi: Hey..velakarii..inga enna panra..en room ku varama..

Sitara: illa mam..inga garden la konjom vela irunthathu..

Vanathi: nalla sambalam vanga theriyuthu ana vela pakka valikutha..

Vikram fisted his hand..

Sitara held his hand and nodded a no..

Sakthi: mam..ithuvu enga vela tha..ungaluku work panrathu mattunthan enga vela illa..

Vanathi: hey u orphan..vaya moodu..unkitta na pesala..

Vikram: avanga mela entha thappum illa..nan tha pesitu irunthen athan late ayiduchu..

Vikram jumped in..

Vanathi looked at him disgusting..

Vanathi: ohh neyaaa? Rendu orphan ku oru orphan thana support ku varuvan..
Whatever..ne ithula involve agatha..

Sitara: sry mam..neenga ponga na varen..

Vanathi: seikram va..thala valikuthu coffee eduthutu va..

Sitara nodded..

Vanathi left the place by giving him a smirk..

Vikram was annoyed and irritated to the core..

Sitara: vikrameyy..kovapadatha..chillah vidu..na poitu konja nerathula vanthuren..

Sitara followed and vanathi and vikram's anger was at it's peak..

He turned towards sakthi..

Vikram: en bro..Intha ponnu en ipdi nadanthukra..

Sakthi: athu apditha bro..eppome..vidunga..chinna vayasula irunthu avaluku ava mela oru obsession..

Vikram frowned..

Sakthi: obsession means in a negative way..

Vikram: konjam purira mari solreya..

Sakthi: nanum avalum ore school and intha korangu madam royal school la padicha nga..appo inter school competition la antha loosa iva win panita..odane king ta soli avala ivaluku maid akita..en frnd ah life fullah thokka vaikanu athan ava asai..ivalum avanga appa treatment kaga vera vali illama othukitta..nanum inga vantee..

Sakthi: ennana..iva kooda senthu nangalum periya periya royal schools and colleges la padichoo..intha kirukii engaluku panna ore nalla vishiyam athu mattunthan..

Vikram chuckled..

Vikram: unmatha bro..

Sakthi giggled..

Vikram: ennaku poramaya iruku unga rendu peroda friendship ah patha..en valkaila ithellam kuduthu vaikala..

Vikram sighed..

Sakthi placed his hands on vikram's shoulder..

Sakthi: leave it bro..mudinchatha pathi yosikama..nadakratha pathi yosikalam..athan ipo nanga irukom la..

Vikram's eyes moistened..

He smiled at Sakthi contently and nodded his head..

Vikram: Bro..kekkanu nenache unga kitta mobile irukka..ennaku konjam thareengala..

Sakthi: ohh..irukee bro..

Sakthi handed over his mobile to Vikram..

Vikram dialled vijay but it was not connected..

Vikram tapped the mobile..

Sakthi: bro..enna panreenga..

Vikram: enga uruku call panre..

Sakthi laughed..

Sakthi: Ayyo bro..inga outer world communication la kedayathu..only neenga intha island kulla mattunthan communicate panna mudiyum..inga neenga velila use panra entha facilities um irukathu..inga own software.. Own browsers than no foreign apps or browsers allowed..

Vikram's eyes widened..

Vikram: appo inga google,instagram,whatsapp la kedayatha..

Sakthi: apdi na bro..

Vikram: athan..intha communication tools.. Msg la pass panan use panrathu..

Sakthi: ohhh..athuva..nanga normal messenger and textoo use pannuvo..ellame inga local products and apps tha..

Vikram: oh shit..appo na epdi ippo en vetuku contact panrathu..

Suddenly a guard passed them..

Sakthi: bro..antha phone ah marainga..inga refugee camp la mobiles allowed illa..na tha theriyama eduthutu varuven...

Vikram hide it inside his pocket..

Sakthi: bro..nengale atha vachurunga..use aguthanu try panni parunga..ana nyt time la..appotha Yarukum theriyathu..network konjam fast ah irukum..

Vikram: ok bro..tq for this..

Sakthi: throw it away...

Vikram: ethu mobile ah ya..

Sakthi: aii..amul baby na tq va sonne..

Vikram: sari da..thakkali chedi..

Sakthi: bro ungala..

Vikram ran from there..

But his heart was not still..

He reached his room and sat down thinking about vanathi..

Vikram mv: iva epdi en nightingale ah irukka mudiyumm..just ah scrap.. Chii..whatever.. Ava yara irunthalum enakku vendam..I don't think she is my Cuckoo..chii..nenachale kovam varuthu..

With these thought he drifted off to sleep..

He opened his eyes and looked at the clock..

It was 1PM..

He took the mobile out and went out to the corridor..

He started checking the mobile..

But it didn't worked..

Vikram: shit..shit..shit..

That's when he noticed someone in the ground floor running around all masked up..

Vikram: mavane setha da nee..yarda ivan..iniku pudikren..

He started running down..

But he saw some guards following that masked person..

Vikram: enna da ithu..iniku pudhusa ivanunga poranunga pinnadi..

Vikram slowly followed them hiding behind them..

After sometimes he saw the guards holding the masked person..

Vikram: achachoo nammaku munnadi anga mattikitan..

But he was shocked by seeing the masked person's move..

The person started kicking them and fought with them..

The fight was an intense one..

Vikram was seeing that from a distance..

But he rushed to the person when he saw the guard trying to stab the person..

He removed his shirt and covered his face..

He went near the person and swiftly moved her to the other side..

That's when he noticed the softness in his hand...

He banged the guards and dragged the person to the other side...

He pinned the person to the wall..

He noticed the doe eyes and he confirmed that it was her..

He held her hand and placed it on the wall..

His eyes widened on seeing the tattoo on her right hand which was clearly visible due to the torn in her sleeves..

She used to wear full length sleeves usually..

Now only he noticed her hands..

He was still in the surprise..

He tried to remove her mask..

She pushed him and ran away without turning back..

''Sitara''

He whispered..

He started walking towards his room but his mind was still in a trance..

He entered his room and closed the doors..

He removed his vest as his shirt was already covering his face..

He removed that too..

He stood in front of the mirror and looked at his chest..

A smile crept in his face..

He carresed his chest in which a tattoo was sitting..

"Sitara"

He mouthed..

Suddenly some memories flashed in his mind..

Adi was in his 10th age..

Adi: Ma...ma..anga paren...athu ennathu ma..

His mom: athuva kanna..tattoo..

Adi: apdi na..

His mom: ne namma ammu kaila pathurupela ava name..athu mathiri..

Adi: ama ammu mari en enkaila illa..

His mom: athu family oda first ponnuku antha tattoo poduvanga..

Adi: appo..rosy kaila illa ma..

His mom: avaluku inuu 8 vayasu agalaila anathum poduvanga..

Adi: appo pasanga pottuka koodatha ma..

His mom: pasanga pottukalam ana avanga pasanga avloo seikram pottuka mattanga..

Adi: en apdi..

His mom: en na oru paiyan thanoda manasula ulla oru ponnukaga mattum tha atha pottupan..

Adi: appa ku ne mariya ma..first vetla poi appa kaiya pakkanum ma..

His mom: sari..sari..romba kelvi kekatha va vetuku polam..

Adi reached home and he searched his father to check his hand who was sleeping in his chamber..

But to his disappointed he didn't find any tattoo on his hand..

Adi was disappointed..

But suddenly his eyes moved to his father's chest..

His eyes widened..

Adi mv: ohhh appo pasanga avanga pudicha ponnuna inga tha tattoo pottupangala..supereeyyy..

He hoped down and ran to his chamber..

Next day adi got tattooed on his chest..

He tattooed a person's name whom he love more than himself and anything in the world..

He hided that even from his mother..

From that day onwards Adi started bathing and getting ready on his own without his mother's help..

But his poor soul didn't know that he gonna miss that forever..

Vikram's eyes got teared by the sudden recollection of his past..

In these 15 years for the first time he got reminded of something that had happened before his 10th age..

For all these years he was struggling to remember a single thing from his past..

But this girl had done a magic to him..

PRESENT..

Vikram's lips curved on thinking about her..

Vikram mv: Sitara..u were born to be mine..but i'm not yet sure about ur feelings.. I have to wait for sometime..
I know it will take some time to process..
I will wait for u..love u Sitara..

Sitara was stirring in her bed due to some nightmares...

Sakthi waked up due to her blabberings..

He went to check her..

Sitara: Sidhu mama..enna vittu poidatha...un ammu pavam la..

She was mumbling hugging her pillow..

Sakthi sighed and left the place leaving her back..
