Four men are waiting there. Rakshan is having a bag too. They were patiently waiting. 

After having a satisfying romance, 

Siddhik- "sari vaa time aachu, veetuku polam"

Athulya- "athukulla va?", she slowly asked him in a wishpering voice. 

Siddhik- "vendam, pani kotta arambichuduchu.. ini iruntha apuram unaku cold vanthidum, namma jolly ah iruka mudiathu.. okay na sollu irukalam"

Athulya giggled and said, "vendam vendam, veetuku polam vaa"

They both got up and started to walk towards their portion. While walking Siddhik neared her and pinched her waist. 

Athulya- "dei Siddhu summa iru", She tried to catch him and beat him. 

Siddhik escaped from her, but circled her. He caught her hands with both his hands and pulled her towards him which results in Athulya dashing on his chest. He kissed her neck, bite it and then tickled her and ran away towards the steps. He will induce her and before she fell that effect, he will also divert her and ran away. Athulya started to chase him and he jogged away from her, maintaining a distance.

Athulya- "dei nillu da, iniaku unna naan vida maten. summa summa enna seendite iruka. verupethitu iruka. nillu Siddhu", she followed him chasing him.

Siddhik- "nikamaten, ninna nee enna adipa", he cutely whined and ran towards their portion. Athulya chuckled. 

Athulya- "nadikatha Siddhu, naan adikurathu ellam unaku oru adiya?", She chased him, jumping on the steps. They both laughed while running. Siddhik stopped before turning to the steps which leads to their portion, Athulya who is chasing him in a faster speed dashed on him. Siddhik caught her and lifted her. 

Athulya- "vidu Siddhu, namma velila irukom.. oore thoongitu iruku", she whined at him. 

Siddhik- "vaa di ratchasi". He rubbed his face on hers and told seductively. Athulya kissed his ear the next second. Siddhik froze, Athulya escaped from him using this distraction and ran away with a giggle climbing the steps.

Siddhik- "Ratchasi, unna", he too followed her climbing the steps fastly. 

Athulya ran in the corridor and stopped the next second when she saw the four men. She stood there open mouthed. Siddhik, who came behind her, reached there the next second and back hugged her tightly with a giggling.

Siddhik- "ipo enna panuva di?", He looked up casually and shocked to the core.  Four men are looking at them with folded hands. They both moved away from each other once they are composed and looked down. 

Siddhik' s heart beat started to raise. He know this day would come for sure. He too mentally tried to prepare himself. But when they stood before him, he felt a trembling inside. He started to feel chillness in her body. He is not sure what to do next. His breathe hitched. His hand automatically clutched his chest. Four men understood his struggle. 

Athulya is shocked since she didn't expect the in the middle of the night. That too, today itself. She looked down thinking, 

Athulya mind voice- "enna da ivlo vegama sinthichu mudivu eduthuteenga. unga vairakiatha paathu rendu naal epadium agum.. inoru thadava vanthu councelling ellam kodukanum plan panirunthenae.. ivanungala guess panave mudialayae.. ipadi ivanungala padachutiyae andava.."

Vinay- "inum evlo neram ipadi nikka poreenga. katha thorakura idea illaya?"

Siddhik touched his pant pocket the next second and took the key. Four men moved away and gave space for Siddhik to unlock the door. His hand trembled and he is unable to unlock the door. His rubbed his face and neck. Athulya noticed his struggle and pain. 

Logan extended his hand and showed his palm to Siddhik, gesturing him to give the key. Siddhik didn't looked up, he only looked at his palm and gave the keys. Athulya silently watched everything. Everyone went inside, Once logan unlocked the door. 

Vinay - "kudika konjam thani venum. romba nerama wait panitu irukom ungalukaga"

Siddhik went inside the kitchen, took four glasses and started to pour water in it. There is a prevailed silence in the room. When he was about to arrange the glass in the tray, due to his trembling hands, the glass fell down. He panted a little. Everyone rushed to the kitchen. Siddhik is staring at the broken glass tumbler. Tear flown from his eyes. When he tried to arrange another glass to the tray, Karthik neared him. Karthik arranged the rest of the glasses and looked at Siddhik. Siddhik is looking down rubbing his chest.

Karthik- "enna paaka matiah daa?", The pain and longing is mirror in his cracked voice. 

Siddhik bite his lips and tried hard to control himself. He started to rub his chest forcefully.

Karthik -" dei. enna da aachu?", He panicked sensing Siddhik' s changes.

Siddhik burst out and shouted, "valikuthu da, romba aluthuthu, moochu muttuthu. ennala mudiala..", He panted heavily and with a low voice said, "sethuruveno nu bayama iruku daa"

Siddhik was about to fell down closing his eyes, Karthik shouted, rushed to him and caught him. Karthik, Vinay lifted him and came to hall. Sujan and Pragyan too came there closing the door. Athulya panicked when Siddhik fell down. Sujan and Pragyan stood went near to her, like supporting her. 

Siddhik was placed in a sofa. Vinay and Karthik rubbed his hands. Logan rubbed his leg. Rakshan sprayed water on his face. Siddhik slowly opened his eyes getting his conscious. He sat up and looked down. He thought that he is still not ready to face anyone. 

Karthik- " Sid.. ", He called him with a longing affectionate tone. Siddhik looking at him automatically. Both their eyes meet. Siddhik eyes shed tears. 

Karthik stood up and extended his hand. Siddhik too stood up and fell on Karthik. Siddhik is completely buried inside Karthik. Siddhik started to cry. Athulya, Sujan and Pragyan widened their eyes while looking at them. Karthik hugged him tight and shed tears. Their affection and love is clearly felt. Siddhik is completely hidden in Karthik. Siddhik' s cries says how much he missed him. 

Siddhik suddenly pushed him away and said, "ipo matum yen vantha? poo. nee poo", He exactly looked like a boy who is having anger with his family.

Vinay- "dei, vidu daa. odi ponathu nee thane. ", He neared him and hugged him tightly. But after seconds, Siddhik pushed him too with a pout.

Logan- "enga yarukum theriala daa nee enga irukanu.. kutty vidu daa", Logan put his hands around Siddhik' s shoulder.  Siddhik wiped his eyes and nose. He is still sobbing. 

Siddhik shouted, "ponga, naan namba maten. naan ponathum vituteengalla. ungalukum naan vendam. neenga ponga. enakum yarum vendam. ponga ena vitu", He moved away from them. May be Siddhik sound serious but the four men are looking at him with a smile. 

Karthik- "naan venama da kutty."

Siddhik- "vendam poo", He told by looking down, wiping his nose and eyes. His eyes are shedding tears continuously.

Karthik- "nijamma vendama, enna pathu sollu"

Siddhik- "naan unna paakamaten. poo, vendam", his voice becomes slow. 

Karthik- " yen Sid? kanama poanthu nee da. naan than un mela kova podanum. nee illa"

Siddhik- "enna kanum na vitruviah? ipovum naan illaine ninaichukonga. ponga ellarum.", he throwed the things next to him on the floor. 

Siddhik looked like a angered boy. He didn't behaved like a man. His all emotions are slowly venting out. His frustration, anger, inability everything is coming out. 

Karthik- "Athu thaan vanthutenla. vaa da"

Siddhik pointed his forefinger towards Athulya and said, "ava vanthathala thane vantha. illaina naan anathai thana.. enna vitutalla? ", He clutched Karthik shirt and shouted him, "un kooda poranthu naan kanama poiruntha vitrupiah? epadio poo nu vitrupiah? sollu da.. vitrupiah? neenga kooda enna vituteengalla.. enna marupadium thaniah vituteengalla.. "

He was broken completely and kneeled down crying louder. Karthik hugged him,

 Siddhik buried his face in his stomach and shouted crying, "vituteenga. enna vituteenga. Naan ponathum enna apadiye vituteenga. Poonga ellarum. naan thaniah ve irunthukaren. ponga, neenga yarume enaku vendam."

Siddhik tightly hugged Karthik and muttered everything. Everyone had tears when he uttered those statements. Athulya bite her lips to control his sobbing. Pragyan took her hand and pressed it to console her and Sujan wiped her tears. 

Vinay kneeled next to Siddhik and patted him. Logan put his hands on Karthik' s shoulder.  He cried hugging Karthik. Karthik too shed tears not knowing how to console him. Karthik looked at Rakshan. 

Rakshan- " avanuku namma vendam na vaanga da polam ". Siddhik moved away from Karthik and looked at Rakshan. Athulya, Pragyan and Sujan are completely shocked and confused. 

When Athulya was about to say something, Pragyan stopped her nodding as no. When Athulya turned to see Sujan, he too nodded as no. Athulya looked at Siddhik pitifully. 

Rakshan take a shield away from his bag and said, "itha avan kita koduthutu pogalam. vanga daa"

Siddhik stood up and shouted, "athu enodathu illa, enaku vendam"

Rakshan casually said, "enakum vendam., venumna vachuko illaina thooki podu"

Siddhik- "enaku vendam vendam vendam. eduthutu poonga", he shouted tightly clutching his head hairs . Siddhik is getting much tensed. Everyone can feel his anger, fear, frustration and pain. 

Rakshan- "sari appo enakum vendam thooki potaren", Rakshan acted like throwing it away. Siddhik rushed to him and stopped him but gripping his hand. Siddhik caught the shield and kept it down.

Siddhik-  "lusa nee, ithu un kanavu. Ithuku nee evlo kasta patta nu maranthu pocha, ethana varusha ulaipu ithu. itha poi thooki poda pora?"

Rakshan- "athu verum kanavu than daa, nee nijam daa, nee ennoda Siddhan daa". Siddhik looked down not saying anything. 

Rakshan- "itha naan vanga thane nee un mela pali potukita?". Siddhik looked away with tear filled eyes. 

Rakshan clutched his shirt and asked, "epadi da ninacha? ennaku unna vida award thaan mukiam nu? epadi da mudivu panna? ". Siddhik looked down and tears flowing from his eyes. 

Rakshan slapped him and said, "evlo santhosama vanga vendia award ah naan evlo valiyoda vanginen theriuma? verrupa iruku daa, itha pakum pothellam.. ellam unnala"

Siddhik- "anaiku naan...", He composed himself and started.

Rakshan- "nee thappu paniruntha kooda paravallaye da. una kandikka naan uyiroda thane irukaen. enkita vanthiruka vendiathu thane? yen da odina? nee thaan thappu panalaye daa, apuramum en daa odina.."

Siddhik- "ellarum enna asingama kevalama paathanga. ennala, ennala unga yaraium paaka mudiala.. nee sonna ava koopta pogathanu.. naan .. naan ... naan kekala. nee evlavo sonna naan kekala.. "

Rakshan slapped him again and said, "antha thappuku nee thane da thandanaiah anubavikanum? enaku yen thandai kodutha?"

Siddhik remained silent. He didn't uttered a word. 

Rakshan slapped him again and shouted, " unaku naan mukiam na enaku nee mukiam illaya? yaen da ipadi panna? yaen da?" 

Rakshan slapped his face and head stating, " ipadi un valakai nee tholaichutu vaala enna karanam akitiae daa?"

Siddhik caught his hands to stop him from slapping himself and said, " naan en valkai ah tholakala daa." He pointed his forefinger at Athulya and said, " en valkai Raksha"

Tears flown from Athulya' s eyes continuously. Everyone looked at Athulya at that time with tear filled eyes. Automatically they has a smile. Pragyan and Sujan looked at her with a proud and tear filled eyes. Athulya only seen Siddhik. His eyes had a spark even in that tears. His lips slightly curved. Rakshan then looked at Siddhik.

Rakshan- "naanga vendama da?", He asked looking straight into his eyes.

Siddhik- "naan sonna enna vitutu poiduveengala ?", He answered by looking at his eyes.

Rakshan smiled and then rubbed his cheeks and asking, " valikuthada kutty?"

Siddhik lips trembled and eyes had fresh tears. He is unable to answer that question. Siddhik just nodded his head and touched his chest denoting where he is having the pain. Rakshan too cried louder and hugged him tightly. 

Rakshan- "sorry da, unna naan poga vitruka koodathu.". 

Siddhik too burst out again. They both hugged each other. 

Siddhik - "sorry da.. ini engaium poga maten.."

Rakshan- "ini unna enagaium oda vida maten."

Siddhik- "ini naan pirinju poga maten"

Rakshan- "nee pirinjalum naanga unna thedi vanthiduvom daa"

Everyone looked at them with tear filled eyes and smile filled lips.
