Aryan and Sahithi started to walk out from the pub.
'Thank you Aryan..',she smiled at him.
'Thanks ah?Yedhuku?',he asked walking along with her.

'May be nee illama irundhurundha,naa ivlo enjoy panniruka maaten nu nenaikire..',she said and he chuckled.
'Un happiness ah unkitta kudukuradhuku oru Aryan dhan varanumnu illa..Adhu unkitta dha iruku..',Aryan said and she smiled amusingly.

'Okay then..',she nodded and was about to move but he stopped her,'Hey'
'Hmm?',she raised her eyebrows.
'Un peru kooda sollaama pora?',he asked.
'Strangers kitta ellaam peru solradhu illa..',she said.

'Ahn?Strangers ah?Appo ivlo dhooram nadandhadhu?',he asked.
'Hello stop stop..Nee vandhu pesuna, pesunen.Dance panna koopta, vandhen.Oru thanks sollanumnu nenache solliten..Thats it!Mathabadi enakum unna theriyaadhu,unakum enna theriyaadhu..So stranger dhane nee enaku?',she asked and he smiled exposing his dimple.

'Valid point!',he said nodding his head.
'Seri appo naaliku paapom..',he said.
'Naalika?Naalaikellam naa vara maaten..',she said.
'Paapom..Bye!',he said and left inside the pub running.
'Crazy..',she sighed at her disappearing figure and left in her car.

'Enna macha?Yaaradhu?',Saran asked.
'Yaarum illaye..',Aryan shrugged.
'Deii nadikaadha..Naan paathen..',Saran said and Aryan scratched his temple.
'Adhu..oru ponnu',he said.

'Ponnu nu theriyudhu..Machaa namma irukura nelamai la yaarayu namba mudiyaadhu..Paathu irundhuka..',Saran warned.
'Deii overthink pannaadha da..Naan summa general ah pesitu irundhe.. Paathe thaniya ninnutu irundhaa..Manasu kekaama pesunen avlodhan..',Aryan said.

'Adhoda irundhuta nalladhu..Serii nee poo..',Saran said and Aryan nodded before leaving to the DJ seat.

Sahithi parked her car and left inside her house smiling.The sudden wave of emptiness hit her.Her mood too turned empty just like that.She threw her purse on the couch and left upstairs.

She changed into her comfy clothes and made herself a coffee which would help her for the night.With the coffee she settled on her bed with her laptop reading the articles about AK.

Suddenly Aryan's face flashed infront of her and she smiled softly.The dance with him,his causal flirts made her smile more wider.She remembered his words,
'Un happiness ah unkitta kudukuradhuku oru Aryan dhan varanumnu illa..Adhu unkitta dha iruku'
'Aryan..',she said to herself,still smiling.

Shrugging her thoughts she started to concentrate on her work.

The next morning,
'Andha dates la enna connection...',Sahithi was in her deep thoughts, holding her pen.
Maaran entered inside singing one of the political party ad song.

Sahithi clicked her tongue in annoyance when he continued to sing the song.
'Sheii Maaran,can you please stop it..',Sahithi shouted.
'Enna madam panradhu? Election nu vandhutaa avlo ad varudhu..Adha paathutu vandha vaaila adhaan varudhu..Enna pannatum?', Maaran asked maintaining an innocent face.

'Election ah?Maaran Prime Minister election indha year dhana?',Sahithi asked.
'Aama madam..Next month..May 25!',Maaran said.
'May 25th?', she thought and wrote all the dates in the white board.

'Feb 12
Mar 23
Apr 04..

Next nadakuradhu... Namma yosicha maadhiri 5 la mudiyura date dhana?
Namma suspect panra days..May 5th,May 15th and May 25th? Election anniku next crime nadakka vaaipu irukulla?',Sahithi asked.

'Election anniku enna madam thiruda mudiyum?',Maaran asked.
'Adhu sammandhama edhavadhu?', Sahithi asked.
'Adhu sammandhama...',Maaran thought for a while.

'Election money?',Sahithi exclaimed.
'Election money ah? Yepdi madam solreenga?', Maaran asked.
'Election nadakuradhuku munnaadi adhukana fund ah oru edathula veppaanga illa?Like oru kootani maadhiri?Adhuku aprom dhane public large amount ellaa veliya kondu vara koodadhu nu rules varum?',Sahithi asked and Maaran nodded.

'But avanga idhu vara panam edhuvum adichadhillaye..',Maaran said.
'We can try our luck Maaran..Avanga thiruduradhu government oda porul dhan,appo election money um government odadhu dhane..If my guess is correct..

Election money oda value 3000 crores above and 4000 crores below la dha irukanum,and namma nenacha maadhiri 5,15,25 dates la irundha.. Definite ah election money dhan..',Sahithi said.

'Okay madam!Naan ippove ungaluku adhu ennanu visaarichu solren..',Maaran moved out and Sahithi nodded.

'Madammmm!!!!Yes our guess is correct!', Maaran's exclamation brought a wide smile on Sahithi's face.
'Really?!', Sahithi asked.
'Aama madam,Ivanga election kaga odhikirukura amount oda value three thousand and five hundred crores approximate and panam pirikira naal,its May 15 madam!',Maaran said.

'We almost caught him Maaran!Sketch mattum potaa podhum..We can catch him',Sahithi said.
'Yes madam!',Maaran nodded.
'Okay..!Pass the information to the Prime Minister office..More security and more alert irundhaa kandippa AK ku doubt vandhurum...Let things be usual also alert..',Sahithi said and Maaran nodded.

'Sure madam...innum exact ah 41 days iruku namaku..',Maaran said.
'41 days,984 hours,59040 minutes,3542400 seconds!Indha vaati avanga yaaru kannulayum manna thoova mudiyaadhu..He or She would be caught!',Sahithi smirked.

'Evening enna plan Maaran?', Sahithi asked packing her bag.
'Enakellam enna madam plan uh..Veetuku poitu songs ketutu vibe panitu apdiye thoongiduve',Maaran said and Sahithi chuckled.

'Urupadiya oru ponna paathu kalyanam pannalam la?',Sahithi asked.
'Yenga madam?Namaku oru ponna pudicha adhuku nammala pudikala..Nammala oru ponnuku pudicha..Apdi onnu nadakala madam..Mothathula onnum set aagala..Veetlaya paathu edhavadhu panna dhan undu..',Maaran said sighing.

'Kalyanam panna mattum pathadhu,treat her well', Sahithi said.
'Kandippa madam,enna lam nambi oru ponnu varudhunna...Naanlam thanga thattu la vechu thaanga mudilanalum.. Aluminium thatta vechaachum thaanguven..',Maaran said and Sahithi laughed loudly.

'Unga idea enna madam marriage pathi?',Maaran asked an empty chuckle escaped her lips.
'Patta varaikum podhum!',Sahithi left picking up her belongings.

It was almost 8'O clock.Sahithi looked at the clock once remembering Aryan's words,'Naaliku paapom'

'Polaama?Venama?..',she thought.
'Ennaachu ma?Yedho yosanaila irukeenga?',Prema ma asked placing a glass of milk near Sahithi.
'Onnum illa Prema ma...',she said and her eyes fell on the milk.

She rolled her eyes,'Prema ma..Enaku verum paal vekkaadheenga nu ethana vaati solliruken...Coffee podalaya?',Sahithi asked.
'Illa ma..Romba caffeine eduthuka koodadhu..',Prema ma said.

'Illaa enaku idhu venaam..',Sahithi moved from there without drinking the milk making Prema heave a sigh.

Sahithi lied down on her bed, looking at ceiling.
'Yaaru avan enaku?Avan koopta naan yen ponum?No po maaten!'

'Aryan...Yaara thedura?',Saran asked Aryan who's eyes were surfing over the crowd.
'Onnum illa macha..Summa dha casual ah..',Aryan replied.
'Casual ah va...seri illaye..',Saran moved from there.

'Vara maatalo?',he thought and sighed in disappointment but soon his pupils dilated.There she was in a yellow colour one sleeved maxi ruffled dress.She has left her wavy hair free and did a perfect make up.
His eyebrows did a jump in happiness looking at her.She had no idea why she came up and either he had why he was happy for her presence.

He saw her searching for someone and he knew it would be him.
He walked into the crowd.

Sahithi searched for him and her lips formed a pout.She can see someone was there in the DJ seat but it wasn't him.
'Oru vela avan iniku varalayo?',she thought.
'Seri..',she turned to leave but dashed her head on a strong chest.

She opened her eyes and looked up to find him standing with his lips pressing together, smiling.
'Ennadhana theditu irundha?',Aryan asked.
'Illaye..',she maintained her face..
'Apdiya?Appo vara maatenu sonnanga yaaro?',Aryan teased.

'Idhu enna un perula irukura pub ah?Naan varuven,varama poven..adhu en ishtam..',she managed to lie making him laugh.
'Innum better ah edhavadhu samalichurukalam..',he said and she sighed embarassment.

'Okayy fine..Once again,Im introducing myself..DJ Aryan ',he forwarded his hand for a handshake.
'Still nee enaku stranger dhan..',she said.

'So the mystery continues?',he asked and she shrugged.
'Okay fine!Unaku yeppo naan stranger illanu thonudho..Appo you can tell me your name.. Deal?',he asked and she made a thinking face.Her heart wanted to give a try but her misandry thoughts warned her.After a very long time in her life,she decided to go with her heart.

'Hmmm..', she said.
'Kai aachum kudukalam la?',he asked and she noticed his hand was still waiting for her.She chuckled and shook his hand,'Deal'
