Rishi opened the door and saw Vivek standing there. Rishi looked at Vivek questioningly while Vivek looked at him doubtfully.

Vivek- " inga Raghuvaran.."

Rishi- "en mama thaan. edunga, amam, uniform podalaya?"

Vivek- " athu school padikum pothe potathu illa pa", he said with his unique sheepish smile.

Rishi leaned on the wall and said," para, sir history ae ipadi thana? amam, ivlo chinna bag ah irukae ellathaium epadi eduthutu vantheenga?"

Vivek- " intha bag layae ellam vachuduven paa", A delivery boy came at that time with the parcel.

Delivery boy- " sir food order paniruntheenga"

Rishi with a frown, "appo..."

Vivek- " naan Raghuvaran sir ah paaka vanthiruken pa"

Rishi- " oh, sorry sir.. pasila thappa purinchukiten. manasula vachukatheenga, honestly extremely sorry ", he said in a genuine voice apologetically.

Vivek- " athellam paravalla pa, pasi vantha apadi thaan irukum, nee muthalla parcel ah vangu, antha thambi adutha delivery ku poganum", he said with a warm cheerful smile.

Rishi- " one second sir,". Vivek nodded and Rishi collected the food from the delivery boy and sent.

Rishi- " ulla vaanga sir". Rishi along with Vivek, came inside shouting, "mama, unna paaka thaan vanthirukanga.."

Raghuvaran who turned to the door side casually is shocked to the core. He widened his eyes and got up.

Raghuvaran -" appa... ", Amrutha turned to the door side and got shocked.

Amrutha-  periappa", They blinked at each other once and then rushed to the door soon. Amrutha neared him and hugged him.

Raghuvaran got the bag and said, " vaanga pa, vaanga. vara poren nu sollave illa, ethuvum important matter ah?"

Vivek-  " illa pa, konjam bore adichathu athaan ungala surprise panitu apdiyae oru business matter ah pakalam nu vanthaen. nalla irukiah da ammu?"

Amrutha- " naan nalla iruken periappa.", Vivek then looked at Rishi and Agasthiyan.

Raghuvaran- " appa, ivanga ammu voda Team, investigation Team. ippo en friends pa"

Rishi- " naan Rishinandhan sir, SP in CBI"

Vivek smiled and said, " romba santhosam pa". Rishi fell on his feet and Vivek blessed whole hearted-ly.

Agasthiyan - " naan Agasthiyan, Associate SP in CBI sir", He too fell on Vivek feet and Vivek blessed him. Raghuvaran and Amrutha looked at each other via corner of his eyes.

Rishi- " kaalula vilunthathala naanga ice vaikuratha ninaikatheenga sir."

Vivek - " intha ice ellam naan urugurathuku pathathu paa, inum konjam try pananum.", he said with a calm smile.

Rishi- " inum payirchi vendumo..", he dramatically told. Vivek giggled while everyone chuckled.

Amrutha- " dei.. ", she strictly told. Rishi raised his hand as surrender and bowed a little. Everyone chuckled. They all seated with smiling face.

Vivek- " neenga CBI la, epadi ammu team la", he voiced gently.

Agasthiyan- " Naanga oru team form panirukom sir. pending la irukura long term missing cases, unsolved murder cases solve panrathuku, athula forensic department la irunthu papa join paniruka"

Vivek - " oh", Raghuvaran and Amrutha looked at each other.

Raghu arranged the food saying, "Naan oru case deal panitu irunthean la pa", He tried to divert the attention of Vivek from them.

Vivek- "Hmm"

Raghu- " athula mudinchu paa. inaiku case la keichathuku ivanga oru important reason pa. ivanga recover panni kudutha CCTV footage oru turning point ah irunthathu. so celebrate panna sernthu sapdalam nu kooptaen pa". Vivek nodded his head.

Vivek- " neenga rendu perum enga pa irukeenga?", Rishi and Agasthiyan told their place.

Amrutha- " periappa pasikuthu, first sapdalam apuram pesalam. vitaa pesitae irupeengalae"

Vivek chuckled a little and said, " sari da ammu, sapdunga"

Amrutha- "unaku enna veikatum pa?"

Vivek- " vendam ammu, naan apove saptuten. marupadi ellam sapda muidathu. neenga ellarum utkarunga". Youngsters sat and Vivek started to serve food. Amrutha and Agasthiyan on one side while Rishi and Raghuvaran on the other side. Raghuvaran and Amrutha looked at each other with little tense. Amrutha mentally prayed to god to make everything smooth.

Agasthiyan- " papa, ithu karama iruku paathu sapdu"

Amrutha- " apo enaku athu vendam."

Raghuvaran- " nee itha thottu sapdu", he served another side dish to Amrutha.

Rishi coughed a little and Raghu patted his back slightly and then stroked his head gently.

Raghuvaran- " methuva sapdu machan.. konjam spicy ah iruku", Rishi just nodded as an answer and wiped his tears which is formed due to coughing. Vivek just observed the bond between them.

Vivek- " inum konjam vaikava?"

Agasthiyan- " illanga sir pothum", At the same time Rishi mobile ringed. Rishi placed the plate down and checked the mobile. he stood up the next second, attended it and said, " yes sir" obediently. He just said some okays and yes and ended the call. Rishi then hurried.

Rishi- " mama sorry, ammini sorry. urgent ah ponum, udane ponum. inoru naal kandipa sernthu sapdalam", he walked to wash his hands.

Amrutha- " enna da, nee muthal muthala veetuku vanthutu ipadi paathi sapatula enthiruchu pora? konjam late aana, un head onum solla mataru saptutu poo". Amrutha said in a flow.

Rishi- " illa ammini, ipo pesinathu en head oda head. udane poganum"

Amrutha blinked not knowing what to say to stop him. Vivek watched everything. Rishi said ammini even now before Vivek too. Rishi didn't changed a little bit. Both Raghuvaran and Amrutha didnt notice it since they are used to the word 'ammini'.

Agasthiyan- " appo naanum varatuma da?". 

Amrutha- " neeum anna?".

Agasthiyan- " athu illa papa, important na mostly ennaium...". At the same time Agasthiyan mobile blinked. He too stood up obediently and did exactly like Rishi and ended the call.

Amrutha folded her hand and asked, " enna?? ipo unaium kooptutanga.. neeum poganum athane anna"

Agasthiyan- " sorry da papa. inoru naal kandipa sernthu sapdalam. Oru velai ku pathila moonu velai kooda sernthu sapdalam"

Raghuvaran -" dei, konjamachum saptutu ponga da. chennai traffic la late agiduchunu solikalam", he tried his best.

Agasthiyan- " athaan konjam saptutamae mama. athuve pothum", he smiled warmly and they both got ready quickly.

Raghuvaran and Amrutha looked at each other unable to do anything. They sighed a little.

Rishi- " inoru naal kandipa varom.. bye sir..", They walked and was about to move.

Vivek- " oru nimisham pa". Rishi and Agasthiyan stopped their track and looked back at him

Vivek gave them a parcel and said, " car la thane poreenga.. saptutae ponga. naan kalanthu vachutaen.. spoon um vachiruken"

Amrutha-  " nalla idea, super periappa. hmm, kondu ponga"

Agasthiyan- " Thanks sir"

Agasthiyan got the parcel from Vivek. Rishi hugged Vivek with a smile, Vivek stunned a little and then responded with a smile, yes he hugged back.

Rishi- " bye mama".

Vivek- " hmm, bathram paa". 

Rishi and Agasthiyan nodded and left. Vivek with his unique smile nodded his head. Raghuvaran and Amrutha bid-bye to them standing behind Vivek. Once they left, The trio entered in.

Raghuvaran and Amrutha looked at each other once, They are relaxed that they managed the situation but still they are little bit sad since Rishi and Agasthiyan went without having much food.

Amrutha- " ivan sapdum pothu thaan evanukachum call pananum nu thonum. pch, oru 20 mins kalichu kooptruntha avan olunga saptrupaan"

Raghuvaran - " sari vidu ammu. kandipa avan saptruvaan. apuram appa enna business matter ah?"

Vivek-  " amam pa, romba iluthukitae poguthu. athaan nerla pathu pesi mudichuralam nu vanthiruken. Morning-ae meeting iruku pa.. kilambiduven.", There is a silence in the environement.

Vivek- " amam, intha pasanga epadi palakam? ivangala pathi sollave illayae.."

Raghuvaran- " naan avangala first time namma oorla vachu court la thaan pathen. last case mudichutu varum pothu pathaen. apuram thirumba meet panumpothu Ammu voda team nu therinjathu. apadiae palagitom pa"

Vivek- " kulanthai enga ammu kanum"

Raghuvaran- " Rishi veetla irukaan pa". Vivek with much thoughts nodded his head. They talked about other stuff for a little and time passed.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next day morning, Vivek started early for his business meeting bid bye to both Raghuvaran and Amrutha. Raghuvaran and Amrutha return to hall and sat in sofa.

Amrutha- " naan nethu bayanthuten"

Raghuvaran- " satutu pesalam nu thaan appa ninaichurupaaru. apuram avanungaluku phone vanthathala naama thapichom. inum konja neram pogiruntha kandipa avanga pathi appa visarika arambichu naama matirupom.."

Amrutha- " but avanga sapdama ponathu konjam oru mathiri thaan iruku, first time vanthirukaanga"

Raghuvaran -" don't worry ammu, ini adikadi vara sollidalam..". At the same time, he got a call from Rishi.

Raghuvaran- " ayusu nooru da ammu. mapla thaan kopdaraan.", Amrutha smiled a little. Raghuvaran attended it and talked with him. He stood up in shock and responded. Amrutha with furrowed eyebrows looked at him. Once he is done with the call,

Raghuvaran- " seekram kilambu ammu, avanga vacate panrangalam.."

Amrutha- " yaaru anna?"

Raghuvaran- " Rishi family.. ellarum kilamba porangalam. nerla pesikalam vaa nu sonaan. unnaium kootitu vara sonaan, vaa"

They both got ready hurriedly and started to Rishi home. Raghuvaran stopped his car near to Rishi house, since already there is a lorry parked. It is seen that the things were packed and imported in the vehicle. Raghuvaran and Amrutha looked at each other and rushed inside.

Agasthiyan- " vaa mama, enga ungala pakama kilambiduvomonu bayanthaen. nalla vela vanthuteenga?"

Raghuvaran- " enna da machan thideernu.."

Agasthiyan- " konjam ulla vanga..", They both entered a room. Rishi packed a bag and came out.

Rishi- " vaa mama, vaa ammini.. ", They both didn't responded and looked at Rishi and his bag. Rishi moved out. Amrutha felt a sharp pain in her heart. They entered the room and Agasthiyan locked it.

Agasthiyan- " secret operation enga department la plan panirukanga. athuku family background thevapaduthu. konjam risky operation athaan fake family ah illama, enga family-ahve kootitu poidalam nu decide panitom. Already delay agitathala inaike kilamba solitanga mama. sorry papa, munnadiae sollathathuku"

Raghuvaran and Amrutha looked at each other with shock. They held back their tears too.

Agasthiyan -" mama, enna nee?", He hugged Raghuvaran to convince him. Amrutha bite her lips hard to control. They can't even dreamed or imagined like this.

Everything seems like short lived. Amrutha took deep breathe to control herself.

Agasthiyan- " papa, enna da ..", he side hugged her gently and said, " seekram mudichutu naanga ellarum return vantharom okay vaa?"

Amrutha looked at him questioningly.

Agasthiyan chuckled and said, " papa promise da. kandipa operation mudichutu ellarum vanthiruvom", Amrutha nodded her head. She didnt utter a single word since she know that she will break down if she tried to speak. They heard a door knocking sound. The trio came out.

Rishi- "time aachu agu.. vaanga polam. solitiah da?", Agasthiyan nodded. Rishi smiled. There is no change in Rishi.

Raghuvaran- " nee ethuvum solla porathu illaya mapla?", Raghu asked weakly. He cant accept the fact that Rishi is behaving unaffected by the separation. Rishi is so normal.

Sulochana- " avanum mattum enna mathiya solla poraan??", she said in a little weak tone.

Rishi- " ithu enga job nature mama. naanga crime branch la irukom. eppo venalum assignments varum. enakum oru assignment vanthu four months munandi thaan mudichaen. athula naan oru orphan vera.. First oru mathiri irukum apuram sari agidum. it happens", he said casually.

Sulochana- " poga poga palagidum nu solriah ambi?? unaku venumna palagina visayama irukalam.. ellarukum apadi irukaathu", She said in a crying tone.

Ramki came there and said, " Raghu, Ammu, poitu varom. ", Amrutha neared him and hugged him.

Nirosha came there and said, "ammu, ennada ithu kannu verukutha", she asked with a smile. Amrutha bursted out and hugged Nirosha. Suhasini came at that time with the baby in her hands.

Suhasini- "inga pathiah Suriya kutty, unaku potiku aluga aal iruku, pona poguthunu konjam paal kudupoma?"

Baby giggled shaking his body. 

Suhasini-" paaru ammunu, ithunoondu ellam unna paathu sirikuthu", Suhasini neared Amrutha and joined Nirosha in consoling her.

Raghuvaran too wiped his tears silently. Ramki neared him, hugged him tightly. Raghuvaran too shed tears.

Nirosha- " sari thaan, Raghu neeuma? ellam konja naalaiku thaan. anga ulla prachanaiah oothi thallitu naanga seekram vanthiduvom pa.", They heard a horn sound and two men came inside. Their head came along with another person.

Agashtiyan and Rishi saluted them. They all composed.

Eeswar- "All ready?"

Agasthiayan and Rishinandhan- " Yes sir"

Eeswar- " relax boys", he neared Ramki and said, "Again Thanks sir."

Ramki- " athellam vendam sir, oru citizen na en duty ah thaan seiyuran. i am proud to be a part"

Eeswar- "okay, kilambalama?", They all nodded. They all came out of the home.

Ramki hugged Rishi tightly for seconds and gave a kiss on his forehead. Nirosha then hugged Rishi once. Raghuvaran and Amrutha looked at each other with a frown.

Nirosha- " naan ella receipies um eluthi vachiruken. kulanthai- ku enna thevainu ellam eluthi vachiruken. udamba pathuko". She kissed both his cheeks and then his forehead.

Suhasini gave the baby to Nirosha and hugged Rishi. With a crying tone she said, " weekly once kandipa call pananum. illaina apuram vera mathiri agidum. ", Rishi nodded with a chuckle. Raghuvaran and Amrutha blinked unable to believe the happening.

Agasthiyan and Rishinandhan hugged each other for a whole minute. Agasthiyan patted Rishi gently. Rishi eyes had little tears. Agasthiyan wiped Rishi's tears with a smile and dashed his head with his once. They both smiled side hugging each other.

Head - " dei, time aachu da", Agasthiyan parted from Rishi. Rishi got the baby from Nirosha and again hugged her.

Nirosha- " Raghu, ammu, mudincha, time iruntha apappo pathukonga paa"

Raghuvaran- " kandipa pathukarom athai"

Ramki- " romba velila sapdatha pa", Rishi nodded his head. Ramki looked at Raghu, Raghu blinked as assurance.

They all then get in the car leaving Rishi and the baby. Raghuvaran and Amrutha looked at each other with a smile having slight tear brimming eyes. They neared Rishi on either side. Sulochana floated near to them.

The car started, Agasthiyan and Elders peeked outside through window and bid byed. Amrutha bid-byed to them. Rishi too bid-byed to them wtih a smile along with the baby, Raghuvaran wrap his hands around Rishi shoulder and bid bye to them. Elders smile at them contently. Raghuvaran and Amrutha looked at each other with a smile, They are happy since Rishi is there.

The car drove and they left leaving Rishi with the baby. The baby kissed Rishi cheeks which appeared like i am with you.
