After having a tease and funny conversation for a little more, They both went out. Rishi smiled with deep thoughts. Soon within minutes, He heard a door knock. His lips curved with a smile knowing well who is this. He neared the door and opened it. Vivek smiled at him. Rishi bowed and welcomed him.

Vivek- " enna panra nandhu?"

Rishi- " kathava sathalama vendama nu yosichutu iruken", he answered by closing the door.

Vivek- " ipo illa da, ithuku munnadi enna panna?"

Rishi- " 'come in' nu sollalama illa naamalae poi kathava thurakalama nu yosichutu irunthaen", he said in  a serious tone with a serious thought.

Vivek- " dei thanga mudiala daa un alaparai.", he shake his head.

Rishi- " appo intha formality ah vitutu visayathuku vaa Vichu.. muthalla utkaru.. ", He made Vivek to sat in the bed and he sat in the floor next to him leaning on Vivek' s leg.

Vivek sighed and gently stroked his hair and said, " assignment na, ipo Ramu poiruka mathiri neeum poiduviah?"

Rishi- " pothuva assignment ku athu thaan artham. engala naanga mathikitu oru place ku poi adopt aagi unmaiah kandupudikanum. suthi valaikama visayatha sollu Vichu"

Vivek- "hmm, naan vanthathu nee assignment nu kilamburathuku munnadi un kooda time spend panna thaan"

Rishi smirked and said, " paravallayae enna piriya ready agita pola". Vivek sighed and there is a silence in the environment.

Vivek is in deep thoughts to open up about his thoughts. He want Rishi to stay with him but job gets first priority and it is obvious he cant ask about it. But Vivek thought to have contact with him atleast in this assignment period. Already he missed the majority part of Rishi's life, now he want witness the happening in Rishi's life. He even stayed here leaving his wife just to be with Rishi. But he is not sure how to ask that. Even if Rishi accepts the thing, then he will surely ask for something in return and that makes Vivek to get worried much. Vivek didn't want the situation to deny any Rishi's request.

Rishi- " nee manasula ullatha pesina naanum pesa chance iruku Vichu..", he said out of no where.

Vivek- " naan yosikurathu avlo pachaya vaa theriuthu?", He asked oscillating his eyes here and there.

Rishi smirked and said, " i am trained for this Vichu. I am a CBI officer."

Vivek nodded and said, " enamo manasa potu aluthuthu da nandhu, valikuthu ", still he didnt opened up but gave clue. Let the CBI officer to find the troubles.

Rishi- " en appa-vaium amma-vaium pirium pothu varatha vali.. enna piriyum pothu varutha?", He mocked.

Vivek looked at him with painful eyes.

Vivek smirked sadly and said, " avanga enna piriyama irukuratha vida, uyiroda irukurathu than mukiamnu naan ninachaen. Enaku en natpa vida, avanga ethirkalam perusa therinjathu.."

Rishi- " ithana varushama vaa?"

Vivek- " ithana varusham aagium jaathi inum irukae.. Inumum than gourava kolaigal nadakuthu.. unakum ulagathukum therinjathu romba kammi Nandhu.. anga pala uyir intha boomiah vendam nu poga karanam kaathi thaan."

There is a silent in the environment. Rishi keenly observed Vivek and the pain in his eyes.

Rishi- " un pathila vachu paatha, en appa amma yarukum theriama odi pona mathiri therialayae.. ", he dragged the last word without averting his eyes from Vivek. His voice laced with a mere mocking with confusion.

Vivek looked at him with shock. With just two statements Rishi found out one of the truth that is hidden till date. Rishi is dangerous is what Vivek thought. Rishi is a living sample for Appearances are deceptive.

Rishi- " un shock ah paatha, onnu un help oda thaan rendu perum kalyanam nadanthirukanum, illa kalayanatha pathi unaku therinjirukanum... correct ah Vichu?", Vivek remained silent avoiding the eye contact.

Rishi chuckled and said, " Thanks Vichu mama.. anaiku nee edutha decision nala enaku best parents kidaichirukanga.. Thanks a lot", he wrap his hand around Vivek shoulder. 

Vivek looked at his eyes trying to find about what he is having in mind, but he cant since Rishi eyes has the naughtiness and happiness alone. A second before he accused for being away from his parents and now he is thanking him. Rishi is hard to understand is what Vivek thought.

Rishi- " okay, ipo un manasula ulla valiah pathi pakalam.. en vichu mama ku enna aachu?", Rishi pinched Vivek cheeks and coed like the serious conversation they had just before is not even happened.

Vivek stared at him trying to understand, sighed, composed himself and said, " nee epadi venumnalum eduthuko nandhu, enaku ini un life la nanum irukanumnu asaiah iruku.. Yerkanave pala varusham miss paniten, athu en thappu thaan. naan ithu varaikum oru nalla thai mamana illama irukalam. but oru chance kudu Nandhu. "

Rishi-" unaku chance kudutha pathiluku nee enaku enna tharuva Vichu mama?"

Vivek smiled widely with shining eyes and said, " enna ketaalum tharen."

Rishi- " en appa ammaku avanga illantha kudumbam venum, thariah mama?", 

Vivek stood up in shock with open mouth. Vivek felt trouble in breathing for a moment, like he forget to breathe. But Rishi remained calm, he didn't reacted anything and just watched Vivek with his unique smile, exactly like Ramki' s smile.

Vivek- " nandhu.. nee..."

Rishi- " unnala mudialaina naan onum compel panna porathu illa, thats okay. Manasuku pudikama entha oru velaium seiyurathu enaku pudikathu", Vivek looked between his eyes trying to get him. 

Rishi looked at him with a calm smile exactly like Ramki used to do. Rishi looked like Ramki for a moment which made Vivek to stunned. The smile even in the pain, the spark in the eyes which shines only when it gets love, the calmness in all state, the positive aura around him, the hope his charming gives that everything is meant for the happiness, everything is the same.. Rishi behaved like a copy of Ramki. 

Vivek- " Nandhu.."

Rishi chuckled, " unnala naan ketatha kuduka mudialainalum, nee kethatha naan tharen Vichu, un chance..", He smiled.

Vivek is overwhelmed with emotions and hugged Rishi the next moment tightly. Rishi too hugged him and patted him gently. Rishi rubbed Vivek back gently. After a while, Vivek moved away composing himself.

Rishi- " are you okay baby?", he teased. Vivek glared.

Rishi- " naan yara katipudichukitu iruka vendia aalu, yaara kati pudichukitu iruken paaru," he sighed with a hmm and said, " ellam en neram"

Vivek knocked his head and said, " oru chance-aium vidurathu illala.. epadi da unna Ramu valathaan"

Rishi- " athellam ragasiyam, solrathuku illa."

Vivek screwed his ears and said, " vaalu vaalu.. sari naan poi samaikuren, nee paaru", Vivek bid-bye to him and went.

Rishi checked his mobile which has the message from Amrutha. The message has the words unkita pesanum.

Rishi replied her stating come to my room, i am always at your service with a wink emoji. Within minutes, Rishi heard a knock in door.

Rishi smiled, opened it and as expected Amrutha came in. Rishi closed the door and locked it. Amrutha entered with deep thoughts and didn't noticed. 

Rishi neared her and teasingly sung, 'en akka magalae... indhu.. cha cha nee en maman ponnula ipo paaru... en maman magalae.. ammu...', he sung exactly like Goundamani from the film Metukudi.

Amrutha - " vaaya udachuruven daa poruki", she stated with a dead glare.

Rishi- " okay okay first utkaru" she sat in the bed and Rishi continued, "sollunga ammini thideernu paka vanthirukeenga?"

Amrutha looked at him straight into his eyes with a glare and said, " enamo theriatha mathiri pesatha "

Rishi- " hey nijamave theriala ammini "

Amrutha with mischievous glare look at him and said, " so the great CBI officer ku naan ippo ethuku vanthiruken nu theriathu.. apadi thane"

Rishi- " exactly ammini, un athai paiyanuku nee ethuku vanthiruka nu theriathu.. athuvum ipadi asathura mathiri alaga thavani katikitu vanthu kannu munnadi utkanthiruka maman ponna asai theera pakura vitutu yosikura alavuku, un ore oru athai ku porantha ore oru paiyanuku control kidaiyathu ma"

Amrutha bite her lips to control his blush and smile, but her face glowed. Within a second Rishi changed the complete environment. Amrutha looked down completely feeling his gaze on her.

 Rishi neared her, sat next to her and said," adade vetkama.. WOW!!! maman ponnu vetkam ivlo bothaiah irukuma? cha theriama pochae.."

Amrutha- " poruki, summa iru", she tried to be hard but said in a low voice.

Rishi- " unaku oru visayam theiruma Ammini?", Amrutha looked at him via corner of his eyes questioningly.

Rishi slowly placed his hand around her but in the bed and said, " ponnunga no nu sonna yes nu arthamam.. illainu sonna amam nu arthamam.. neeum pen thane.. nalla yosichu sollu apadia artham"

Amrutha furrowed his eyebrows trying to get the hint but unable to and just nodded while thinking all the sick lovers will have this theory.

Rishi back hugged her making her gasp and stiffened her a little. Everyone are in home and he is hugging her. 

Amrutha- " dei poruki kai ah edu daa", she said in a stern voice.

Rishi- " nee thane amam nu thalai aatina, ipo kathura..", he whispered with a whining near to her ears.

Amrutha composed herself completely and said " dei, naan amam nu sonnathu un question ku, katipudikurathuku illa. un poruki thanatha ellam enkita vachukatha"

Rishi - " athuku munnadi nee thane summa iru nu sonna... Ponnunga illainu sonna iruku nu arthamam.. seiyatha sei nu arthamam." Amrutha looked at him with a spark in her eyes trying to hide her smile while he looked at her with mischievous eyes and said, " athaan nee asaipaduriae nu katti pudichaen."

Amrutha tried to push him away but Rishi touched her thavani near to her stomach and said, " ithu enna material, romba nalla irukae.."

Amrutha- " atha therinchu nee enna panna pora.. edu daa kaiah", he slapped in his hand and throw it away.

Rishi pinched his hip which make Amrutha to squeal a little and got up.

Rishi- "KD, kalaila irunthu iluthu moodi pin pannirunthalla, ipo enga pinaium kaanum moodavum kaanum?"

Amrutha stumbled, ' a..aaa... athu.. vanthu.. actual ah..."

Rishi moved towards her each step saying, " yes.. Actual ah? enna aachu.. athuvum anga mattum pin ah kalatura alavuku enna aachu en ammini ku...", while Amrutha stepped back a each step. She stopped when she stopped by the wall..
