Sitara entered a room inside the military hospital followed by vikram and sakthi..

Vikram's eyes widened in shock on seeing a person sitting in a wheel chair..

That person was reading newspaper with a smile on his face..

Sitara: Appa..

Sitara exclaimed and hugged him..

He smiled and kissed her forehead..

Sakthi: enna achu bro..shock ah nikreenga..

Vikram: illa ivaru..

Sakthi: enga appa..Janaga krishnan..en ennachu?

Vikram: illa..odambu mudilanu sonenega ana I didn't expect this..epdi ipdiyachu..

Sakthi: athu oru accident bro..atha vidunga..

Krish: dei..sakthi..epdi da irukka..

He extended his arms..

Sakthi ran and hug him..

Vikram's eyes welled up on seeing this..

Krish looked at Vikram..

Krish: Thambi neenga?

Sakthi: en frnd pa..new addition namma camp la..peru Vikram aditya..

Krish extended his hand for a shake..

Krish: Hii vikram..

Vikram: Hello uncle..

Sitara: ahnn appa you guys carry on..nanum sakthiyum poi chief doc pathutu varoo..

Krish: ok ma..

Sitara and sakthi left vikram and krish alone..

Vikram sat on the couch and sighed..

Vikram started looking at Krish..

Krish: what happened pa? En apdi pakra..

Vikram: onnu illa uncle..summa tha..

Krish: Don't be formal..ennanu sollu..

Vikram: athu illa uncle.. Appa ku odambu Mudila sonanga ana na ipdi expect pannala..

Krish: hmm..

He sighed and continued..

Athu oru accident pa..my legs got paralyzed.. Enala ennoda works kooda pathukka mudiyathu.. Tara kooda avanga kooda enna vachu pathukren sona..nan tha vena soliten..

Vikram: appo ungala yaru pathukaranga uncle..

But still a smile plastered on his face..

Nadakka mudila athan kora..atha thavara ellame iruku..en ponnu..en paiyan..enna pathuka alunga..ithukooda illama ethana per kasta padranga..so vikram life ah easy ah face pana kathukitan avlootha..

Vikram was taken back by his answer..

Krish: Na marunathuku reason en sitara than..my smile machine..eppome ava ipdi tha evloo kasta pattalum kattika matta..ana oru time pasam vachuta marakkave matta..she will do anything for them..

Vikram's respect for her increased multifold..

Sitara and sakthi entered in..

Sakthi: rendu nation oda kings um apdi enna pesitu iruntheenga..

Krish: deii sakthi..

Vikram chuckled..

Vikram: just general things..

Sitara: appa..ur health is improving pa..I'm so glad pa..sari itha sapdunga..

She fed him..

Vikram was admiring all these..

Sakthi made him to sleep on his lap..

Vikram's eyes moistened on reminding about his father..

Vikram mv: miss u pa..inga ennaku oru mukkiyamana work iruku mudichutu seikram varen pa..

Sitara eyed sakthi to see vikram..

Vikram: onnu illa da..enaku enga appa voda memories vanthruchu..that's it..

Sitara eyes softened..

Sitara: Vikram..ne en un family pathi ethume sola matra..

Vikram was happy that atlast she talked to him..

Vikram lifted his head..

Vikram: solra alavuku onnum illa sitara..

Sitara: romba feel pannatha vikram..nanga rendu per irukom la..we will be good friends ok va..

She stressed the word Friends..

Vikram smirked and nodded..

Krish pa was sleeping peacefully on Sakthi's lap..

They spend some time there and left the hospital in evening...

They roamed around the town for sometime and reached the palace..

They entered their wing and about to part their ways..

Vikram turned towards his wing..

Sitara held his wrist and he turned to her..

She handed over him a bag..

Sitara: ithula dress lam iruku unaku..inime ipdi palasu..torn anathula poda vena ok va..

Vikram looked at her..

Vikram: epo vanguna..

Sitara: town la tha..vachukka ok va..

Vikram: hmm..Sitara I ....

Sitara: vena vikram..Let be friends.. Athan unaku nallathu ennakum nallathu..

Her eyes welled up..

He was frustrated and held her shoulder..

The bag fell down...

She closed her eyes..

Vikram shooked her..

Vikram: Open ur eyes..look at me..

She opened and looked into his eyes..

Vikram: aproo endii alara..friend am friend.. Un kannula aproo athu ennna..ithu per love illaya..ennaku theriutheyy athu poiyaaa.. Na onu muttal illa tara..purinchukoo..

He smirked in between his tears..

Vikram: unaku endi puriya mattuthu..enna patha poiya pesura mathiri thirutha.. Thappanavan mari irukka..

She shooked her head as a no..

Vikram: Aproo enna than di unaku prblm..

She tried to push him..

Sitara: vidu vikram..enna..namma friends athuku mela onnu illla..

Vikram: poi...poi..poi...

He shouted..

That's when they both heared someone singing..

It was exactly that voice..

His nightingale's voice..

He closed his ears and shouted..

Vikram: Just stop her..please..aiyooo..

He yelled..

Used this opportunity Sitara pushed him and ran to her chamber..

Vikram: Tara...don't run...taaraaaaaa.aa.....

He shouted and fell back closing his ears..

The song stopped and he opened his eyes to found him lying on the corridor..

Vikram mv: en ipdi ennaku solace ah iruntha voice now tormenting me..mudila..

He slowly walked and climbed up the terrace..

She entered the washroom and opened the shower and sat under it hugging her knees..

Sitara: ennala mudila..I'm keep trying to ran away from u..enna they may kill u if they found u loving me..unaku theiryathu vikram..inga enna nadakuthunu..ennala ithu love ah nu solla mudila ana unaku onuna ennaku kastama iruku..antha hariharan ah pathi unaku theriyathu.. Payama iruku ennaku..

She sobbed under the shower..

He was standing on the terrace looking up at the moon..

His eyes welled up..

Vikram: Tara ne ena vena solu..I know u love me..ne kasta pattathu ellam pothum..na unna pathu unna love pannala dii..unkitta na epdi soluven.. Sonna ne enna vittu poiduveyonu payama iruku di..ana enna analum..I love Tara ma..

He closed his eyes and some memories of them flashed in his mind..

He thought he lost his memories until his 10th age but after meeting tara, he got reminded of some memories before his 10th age..

Tara: hey adi..siddhu mama kitta intha gift kuduthureya..

Adi: ok tara..ennaku ethuvum illaya..

Tara: poda..unakulam yaru gift kuduppa sidumoonchi..

She giggled and ran from there..

He looked down and it was a golden bracelet which she bought for siddhu by pleading her parents for thanks giving ceremony..

Adi's eyes welled up..

Vikram sighed to the memory and went down..

He removed his shirt and looked at his tattoo and carresed it..

Vikram: unna patha aproo thandi..ennaku ellame thirumbi kedaika arambichuchu..ana unnoda love athu ennikume ennaku illaya tara ma..but unnoda na iruntha intha konjal na evloo mariten theiryuma..ennaku mayakame varala don't know why.. May be na unkitta safe ah feel pannrathunala kooda irukalam..enkitta ellame iruku kaasu panam ellame..ana love athu mattum illa..ini kedaikumanu therila..ana enoda ore love Athu ne mattuntha tara ma..endi marupadiu vantha en life la..en..en..innu ne siddhu va tha nenachutu irukeya dii..

He sobbed and fell back with lots of questions..

Vikram: apdi iruntha na kandippa unna tholla panna matten..un kanula enniku kadhal ennaku therilayoo anikoda na poiduven ana ipo na pathen.. athu ennakanathu..ennaku venum..Yarukum.unna kudukka matten ma..ne enna vena thitu na poga matten unna suthi suthi varuven..

I won't leave u..

🎶Anju naal varai

Oru nimisham kooda ennai piriyavillai
Vivaram ethum aval ariyavillai
Enna irantha pothum

Maranthu po en manamae…🎶

Sitara was still under the shower sobbing..

Sakthi went to king's chamber after they returned to serve him that's y he didn't know about this..

Vikram closed his eyes with lots and lots hope for tomorrow..
