PRESENT 

Aryan was riding his car with mixed emotions and just realized that he has arrived at his home. His home was glowing with the help of colorful shades and lights adorning marking that an auspicious function is about to happen and the moment his car halted Sandhya came running to the entrance with a 1-year-old girl rested in her hip with face filled with happiness. 

Aryan got down with an emotionless face and stood before her with a blank face which intensified her tears which she was holding back for a long time . After a disturbing silence of 2 minutes Arjun came there and hesitated to look at Aryan's face while Aryan was looking at the kid with a small smile which didn't reach his eyes. 

Sandhya looked at him and asked " epdi Arya iruka ? enda en mela kovam ? "

To which he didn't even look at her and extended his hands towards the kid who was smiling at hiim and struggling to go to him by extending her hands . Aryan got her gently and kissed her cheeks and stood without answering any of Sandhya's questions . 

Sandhya was tired of asking him and then shook his hands and made him look at her "  enna paathu badhil sollu Arya . naa enna pannen ? yaar yaaro pannadhuku enda enaku punishment ?kalyanathuku irundhadhoda seri . papava pregnant aanapo koopte varave illa ava porandhapo koopte varala ava naming ceremony , ava motta podradhu edhukume varaama irundhutiye da. "

Aryan looked at her and said " Ozhukkam illaama thappa valandhavan edhuku anni unga kittalaam pesanum ?  "with that he went inside to meet charu without even sparing a glance at Arjun 

Sandhya looked at Arjun with never ending rage and went inside which made Arjun look down with guilt eating him up. 

His paternal uncle and aunty welcomed him to which he gave a smile and went inside Charu's room where she was getting read. Charu who was fixing her necklace looking at the mirror was surprised by sudden entry of Aryan who was looking at her with a smile and she ran towards him with a squeal of ANNA and hugged him closer while Aryan hugged her closer to him after placing maya Arjun's baby in the nearby bed and wiped his tear without her knowledge. 

Charu wiggled away from his grip and glared at him asking " sondha thangachi nichayardharthadhuku varra neramaada idhu? innum 30 minutesla mandabathuku kelambiruvom "

Aryan looked at her with a look of don't you know why, and Charu let out a sigh and asked " innum evlo naaluku da ipdiye iruka poreenga? edhaachu mudivedukalaame "

Aryan went silent and started playing with Maya while she giggled happily in hands of her paternal uncle. Charu was feeling very bad to look at her brother like this. He was always a reserved person but she and him shared a precious tom and jerry bond and if he was normal, he would've teased hell out of her by now but the way he came to her engagement as a guest was pricking her heart and she even felt her anger shooting up on both her brother as well at Sitara.

As it was time for them to leave for mandap Aryan left for Vikranth's home to pick him up as his friend. Vikranth was glowing as a groom and the happiness of getting engaged to love of his life was making him visibly glow. 

Vikranth hugged Aryan and Aryan hugged him tighter to show how he missed him. If not for him and Charu, he had no reason to return back to India. Though Vikranth was initially the last person he wished to be with as days rolled Vikranth became the pillar of support to him which he would forever be grateful for. They headed to a Ganapathy temple and completed the ritual of inviting the groom while Aryan did all the formalities of a brother-in-law while Arjun stood along with him with yearning in his eyes and Aryan didn't even bother to spare a glance at him. 

As they completed the ritual and walked towards the marriage hall few girls were standing with aarathi plates and they were waiting for the ritual to start. Aryan was confused on why they were waiting and the strawberry scent which filled his nostrils the next second gave him the answer. Though he was controlling his heart to not think about her and avoid her presence as he has prepared himself all these years his eyes were continuously searching for her and his eyes froze the moment, he saw her coming down the steps with a Harathi plate looking at Aryan without even blinking her eyes and he noticed her transformation in 3 years. her smoothly ironed hair, the red blouse and pearl white saree which embellished her womanly curves and the maturity her face has attained made him look at her without blinking for a second and the next second he reverted his eyes thinking on what all words she used at him. 

Sitara came Infront and blinked away the tears that were forming in her eyes by looking at Aryan and forced a smile and did the ritual of Harathi while Vikranth was observing the silent and try to ease the situation by saying " thongachi un nonnankitta 10 paisa illama nee baatuku aarathi eduthadhuku lumpaa ketraadha "

Sitara laughed at him and said " adhellaam theriyaadhu harathi eduthadhuku edhaachu pote aaganum "

Aryan took 2000 rupees note and gave to Vikranth signing him to put while Sitara was looking at him all the while. Everyone was noticing the silent coldwar yet didn't wish to react to it while Vikranth left the place and Aryan went along with him. Sitara wiped her tears off and went in safeguarding the 2000 rupees note in her purse. 

The engagement started off in a swift and Aryan was moving here and there checking all the arrangements while Sitara was following him by eyes and forcing up smile at her fans who were clicking up selfies and getting autographs from her as she was leading playback singer of Indian film industry by now. 

Aryan was noticing all these and though he felt pride rising up in a corner of his mind he controlled his racing heart by reminding all the wounds and scars which were as fresh as it was 3 years before. 

Aryan was looking at the engagement standing in one of the corners and the moment when the groom and bride were said to exchange rings Charu went on her knees turning Vikranth into a blushing mess while the whole relatives went awe by the unusual way of bride going on knees while Vikranth went on his knees and got her ring and made her wear her ring and kissed her forehead which made Charu tear up out of happiness. Aryan and Sitara were looking at the moment with overwhelming emotions and just realised they both were standing by their shoulders brushing each other's. As their eyes locked with each other after 3 long paiful years their memories travelled to same incident.

4 YEARS BACK, 

Sitara's hindi album was released and it was a major hit. She was continously receiving offers for singing and was keep on travelling and for the first time ever in history their college gave her previledge of OD for numerous days supporting her singing career as her first album was a sensational hit. Sitara was looking at the video song of the album in which there was a scene with the male singer. Both he and Sitara would be walking hand in hand and there would be an admiration in their eyes. she remembered on how Aryan was supporting her throughout the shoot and smiled remmebering his cute posessive moments where he never let the male lead near her when he tried to speak more than required. though she picked up a fight that day with him for his overreaction for friendly talk the male lead was trying to have she smiled thinking of his pouty face and his unleashing posessive side. 

Now she was in Chennai for a tamil song. The song was again a combo of both her and the male singer AYUSH. Sitara received a call from Aryan as she was in the entrance of the studio as the recording just got overed. Sitara picked the call enthusiastically and kept it in her ears saying " Arya.... ipo dhaa recording mudunjuchu neenga enna panreeng?" while the male singer was looking at her with interest building in him and he looked at her from top to bottom with an admiring look and came near her to have a coversation . 

Sitara was busy in speaking with Aryan and she looked at Ayush with a smile . Ayush " hi Sitara .... mm are you free by now ?"

Sitara looked at the mobile and said " one minute Aryan and said " no Ayush is there anything you wish to say ?"

Ayush looked at her with dashing smile and asked " umm... nothing much shall we go out for a coffee? um.. am new to Chennai and it would be better if you accompany me "

Sitara was about to say sure while she found an arm wrapping around her shoulder and saying " Yea sure Ayush why not ?"

Sitara was shocked to see Aryan in chennai, and she looked at the phone and him back-to-back and slapped his shoulder saying " sollave illa frauduh... bayandhute takkunu kai vaikavum "

Aryan smiled at her but was looking at Ayush with a killer look which made Ayush stumble a little, but the irritation was clearly visible in his eyes. Aryan asked again " shall we go MR. AYUSH ?"

Sitara didn't sense the tension between both the guys and took them to nearby coffee shop. Ayush sat at the opposite while Aryan sat in the seat near Sitara. The waiter asked for order while Ayush ordered" 1 cappuchino and 1 brownie icecream sizzler ... Aryan you might order whatever you want Sitara you are ok with sizzler, right?"

Sitara was finding Ayush's actions wierd while Aryan was controlling his self by closing his fist and Sitara said, " yea am ok with-it Ayush Arya ungaluku enna venum ?"

Aryan looked at her with death stare while Sitara was confused with his stare, and he ordered " A COLD COFFEE AND A HOT CHOCOLATE "

As the orders were took Ayush was talking with Sitara based on Carnatic music and as Aryan was not a trained singer Sitara was speaking nonstop without realizing the problem, she was creating to herself. As the orders arrived Sitara took a sip of hot chocolate and moaned to its taste and showed a super sign to Aryan while Aryan smiled looking at her cute antics Ayush was looking at her chocolate drenched lips which made Aryan's anger boil up . 

The sizzler arrived and Sitara took a bite of it saying, " wow it tastes delicious, and Ayush took the spoon from which she ate and took a bite of the sizzler saying, " yea its delicious." which made Aryan lose his cool and stand up beating the table " THAT'S THE LIMIT AYUSH "

Though Sitara was embarrassed by the way Ayush behaved the way everyone was looking at Aryan made her more embarrassed, and she tried controlling him by holding his hand saying " Arya please control prechana venaa asingama paakuraanga"

Aryan gave a death stare at her and said " oooo ivlo neram ivan pannadhu unaku puriyala naa panradhu dhaa asingama irukula .... fine Sitara let me leave you treat your guest with much needed hospitality and come back "

He turned for a second while Sitara sat scared by his anger voice while he turned in a swift and made her getup fierce fully and threw the bill amount in the table and dragged her along with him not before saying " SHE IS MINE YOU BLOODY DON'T DARE TO GET NEAR HER "

Sitara was truly scared by his act and the way he was reacting, and she never realized him making her sit beside him in the bike and that they were in the beach. After a long time of being in trance state she came out of thoughts and saw Aryan standing near the waves in the shore with a hard body language expressing his anger.

Sitara felt bad to have disappointed him he would've come a long way just to surprise her and she just ruined it by saying ok to go with Ayush without reading his intentions. She went near Aryan and hugged him from the back sensing it was a private beach and there were no one near them. Aryan was standing silently and she tightened the hold on him by coming in the front and cupped his cheeks saying " sorry Aryaneyy edho adhigaprasangithanam panten"

Aryan looked at her and said " mm ellaathayum pannu aprom sorry Aryaneyynu paavama kelu . idhe polapa pochu . endi evan enna intentionla palaguraannu koodava theriyaadhu unaku kolandhaya nee? ayyo venaampa naa edhum sollala aprom naa mattam thatravanaairuve kettavanaairuve "

Sitara was a little hurt by the way he was thinking to even lecture at her as he was and she forgot that she was the reason on why he is restraining himself from saying anything or lecturing her on her mistakes and said " adhellaam illa nalladhu sonna ketupe neenga sollaama yaar solluva "

Aryan was really confused on how to handle her as she is reacting differently for the same thing when she is in college and she is now reacting differently when she is alone with him . He was actually concerned on how badly she is under influence of her so called bestfriend when she is around him and this is the real Sitara which is long lost when Ayaan is with her . Aryan pressed her head to his chest and said " evlo aasaya vandhen theriyuma .... en bunnya paathu 2 maasam aache apdinu kadasila andha panni vandhu ellaathayum keduthutaan "

Sitara chuckled to his cute complaint and said " ippovum bunny pakkathula dhaa iruku kanda pannikaaga en feel panreenga?"

Aryan looked at her lovingly and kissed her forehead. She smiled at him and both of them said in unison " naa unaku onnu vaangiruke "" naa ungaluku onnu vaangiruke "

They both looked at each other confused and Aryan told " enna vaangiruka ?"

Sitara said " neenga modhalla kaatunga " and both smiled and took out a box from their respective pockets . They both looked at each other with a smile as both have got similar gold rings from light weight jewellery collection while Sitara exclaimed " paarunga idhula kooda namma wavelengthu sameuh enaku first payment vaangunone idhaan vaanga thonuchu " while Aryan dashed his forehead with her and slipped it into her finger saying "naa en first salaryla idhaa vaangune oru special momentla tharalaamnu nenache" and kissed her finger while she looked at his eyes intently and slapped his cheek a little saying " aanaalum neenga romba posessive aagureengapa bayandhute oru second "

Aryan held her cheeks forcefully and made her look into his eyes saying " un vishayathula naa apdi dhaa evanukum adanga maate evanukum ... " and the intensity in his eyes was sending chills in her spine as she sensed his posessiveness over her is a bit dangerous and wished for no problems between them becaue of this. Sitara placed her hand over his chest while he held her hand with a smile, and they took a pic of it flaunting their rings while Aryan mouthed " enna madam engagementku rehearselaa?"

Sitara smiled and said " apdiyum vachukalaam .... en idhuvum oru vagaila engagement dhaa ... suthi silence, wavesoda satham, vaanathula full moon and stars mattum saatchiya .... neenga ... naan ... namma love .... idha vida beautifulla namma engagement nadaka mudiyuma enna?"

Aryan was getting goosebumps and he kissed her palm saying nothing while she rested her head on his chest absorbing the warmth and the comforting silence which made both their heart swell. Sitara shifted her eyes to his hands and the ring was still shining bright in the yellow light and she caressed her finger which was still having the ring which was her only releif all over these years in his absense.

Aryan who was noticing all her expressions and though his heart felt like jumping after seeing the ring in her finger he forcefully averted his eyes from hers and rushed to the stage to click a picture. Charu and Vikranth who were noticing all these called Sitara. Sitara who was standing in a trance state woke up to the call of Charu and Aryan's face hardened as Sitara came and stood near him as on the other side Sandhya and Arjun stood along with Maya. Aryan wished for this wholesome family always but now everything seemed to be broken images and the moment photographer said perfect still Aryan left the place while his watch got tied up with her saree pallu. Sitara turned with smile feeling a tug in her pallu and found Aryan glaring at her and the pallu and tried removing it. The pallu was tangled so badly that he looked at Sitara once and tore the piece of pallu just like her heart and left the place making her stand with controlled tears.

Sitara was looking at him with yearning while Aryan looked at her from a pillar and mumbled "endi apdi panna ..... ennaala unna kashtappaduthavum mudila kitta varavum mudila...... won't we have a better ending tara?"

Sitara wiped her eyes and went towards the place where Aryan was standing and tug his shirt from behind. Aryan turned and was shocked to find Sitara while she held his hands and led him towards the dining hall making the media people murmur among themself and click the pictures for new celebrity gossip which made Aryan bite his teeth and say " kaiya vidunga sitara "

Sitara looked at him and said " ini eppovum vidradha illa " 

and left to dining shocking Aryan and go behind her with one side of heart jumping in joy and other side of heart burning in anger. Sitara was firm in her decision than ever and held his hand so tight of not in mood to leave it any sooner. But will he be ready to accept or beleive in the relationship all over again ?
