While thinking of what happened between her and Ashwin, Meyshna received a text message, she checked her phone and noticed it's from Ashwin.

Ashwin: I hope you're feeling better, with your parents. I'm sorry for all that which happened, I'm ready to make up for it. Anytime when you're okay, let me know, we could meet up and get this sorted. Not forcing, but just letting you know that I'm up for the talk. Have a great time with your parents, good night.

Meyshna saw that message and left it on seen. She was still mad thinking how Ashwin easily hid his past from her. She's no one to him, maybe just a friend but when she has told everything about her life and past, she expected the same in return. Also, since she started making efforts in getting to know him better, that hurt her more, to know someone whom she had put some trust on is behaving this way. She had no one to speak about it either, not Abi, not her parents, not anyone. All those emotions she felt few years after Rahul's demise was coming back to her and she could sense. She told herself no way I'm letting this to happen again. If he chooses to hide it from me, it's his lost, the trust I had, is now broken. I'll let things be the way it used to be, maybe this is why I can't get close to anyone easily, the pain I get when something goes wrong is just too much for me to handle.

The next few days, Meyshna organized and managed about 2 events, both were birthday celebrations. Her business handle on Instagram helped her out to reach more people. That kept her busy and the next few days she just stayed at home, spending time with her parents. She checked on Sumathi and Abi too, didn't want them to know something's wrong between her and Ashwin. Sumathi updated about Ashwin to her even when she didn't ask for it.

Meanwhile Ashwin waited every day for her text message or a call. His mind was disturbed, couldn't concentrate much on his work, he had to postpone some of his work calls. He took some days off and went for a 2-day trip to Kerala, to make himself feel better. He brought Ashna along and these 2 days, he was just focused on Ashna. He conveyed all that he's feeling to Ashna, though Ashna wouldn't respond, sometimes, all you need is just someone to listen to you as you vent out. That's exactly what Ashna did. Like how it is always with Ashna, it did make him feel better.

While returning to home after the trip, he passed by a courier office and posted something to Meyshna's home. Meyshna's mum received it the next day and saw that it's from Ashwin, she passed it to Meyshna.

That night, Meyshna came back home after a tiring day and noticed a parcel on her desk. Seeing that it's from Ashwin, she wondered what it is now, since it's been more than a week since they spoke.

She opened the parcel and saw a note with a pen drive in it.

"Pls don't disregard this, something that I could do, sorry and thank you" – was written on the note. When Meyshna saw a pendrive, she guessed there must be some scripts written in word doc or some images. But to her surprise, there was a video saved in the pendrive named "Maalai Nerathu Mayakkama".

Being someone who likes to watch short films, Meyshna opened the file and let it to play.

The film started off by introducing Ashwin and him turning towards the camera, smiling at it. He then goes off saying "Hi, you may wonder how happy I am by looking at the smile in my face, but the truth is I'm trying my best to keep this smile on. It's been a week since we last spoke. Idhula enna iruku, not like we were lovers right nu yosikalam but there's some emptiness within me, not sure what is it but I know it's related to you. Ipdilam unga kita pesunadhu illa, in fact, nerla pesradhuku ivlo dhairiyam irukanu enaku therila, I doubt. Adhunaladhan ipdi oru idea thonuchu, to film it and let you know".

Ashwin then took Ashna and showed it to his phone camera and said "Ashna dhan enaku company kuduthutu iruka, solla pona, iva naala dhan edho iruken nu kooda sollalam for the past one week. We're in Kerala, mind'a relax panradhukaga kelambi vandhuten, veetla irundha the thoughts are only about you and what happened the other day. Ingayum irukudhan illanu solla maaten but at least not 24/7. Let me show you the place we are at and the surroundings". Ashwin then took the camera and showed around, in the middle of jungle is where he's at, so much of calmness and peace around the place.

And then again, he looked at the camera and said "Ungalukula neraya thoughts and doubts irukalam, I'm going to answer them now. Answering those that I want to, wish to and those you could be thinking of. First, why didn't I tell you about me having a crush on you ages ago, I guess that's the most haunting thought right now to you. Crush'na enna, a feeling felt by someone when they happen to like someone, crush'ku usual'a oruthar enna feel panranganu theriyadhu, avangaluku indha maari oru aal exist panrangalanu kooda sometimes theriyadhu. Honest'a solren, I'm not expressive and I don't have the guts to go and let someone know I like them and I'd like to date them, idhelam venumna en kanavula naa sollipen but in reality, no way..not at all, ennala nenachu kooda paaka mudiyadhu.

"Adhe maari dha unga kitayum, and whenever situations arrived, something stopped me from getting to know you. And by the time I developed a little gut when I saw you at home, I sensed something's going on between you and Rahul. There and then, I told myself that's about it, idhuku mela I shouldn't be going on with thinking of you as a crush, first there's no point and second, it's not appropriate. Adhoda I let all my feelings go and moved on, easy'nu solla maaten but I managed to, somehow. Years passed and Abi told about Rahul's sudden demise, andha news ketone, Abi'a console pananumnu kooda enaku thonala, my thoughts were only about you, how you must be feeling, kandipa the impact is more to you and in such young age, epdi you're going to go through it. Unga ellarukum irundha adhe shock and sadness, naanum feel pannen. Only difference is I placed myself in your shoes and went through it. I even used to ask Abi if she's checking up on you and the rest of your friends, enna dha suthi elarum irundhalum neenga go through panradhu ungaluku mattum dhana theriyum, idhelam yosiche enaku innum worried aaga start anadhu. Apram slowly Abi was getting better, and she told all of you were also fine, with you being the last among them, which I knew well. And then, our wedding discussion happened. Even during that time, I only said one thing to my mum and Abi, I'm not in this for a forced wedding. Only if you are absolutely fine with it, I'm okay for the wedding topic to begin. Abi came back telling me you're okay with it, which was indeed a shock for me when I heard it first".

Again, unga place'la irundhu yosichi pathen, possibly family pressure, peer pressure and so on, ellame oru guess. But the moment the wedding topic were going on a serious discussion, I told myself I'm not in this for a 'marriage', I'm going to let you take through this since I know what you've been through, and that's how I behaved all this while, I believe. But oru past few weeks'a we started to have a good rapport, adhan na expect panala to be honest but I liked it"

"Now, to someone who's been through such tough times in her life at such young age and within a short period, will anyone go and confess saying "Hey you know what, I know you long ago, had feelings for you and wow look at us now, we are together, match made in heaven, isn't it", ipdi yaradhu panuvangala? I will not do it, I can't even think of doing such things, I'll hate myself for that. You were my crush and that passed on, I wanted that to remain just that way, not to bring that up again and make a scene out of it. Also, ipo kalyanam la aanone sonna don't you think that'll be some cooked up stories that I'm coming up with to impress you? This is what I felt, and therefore I chose to not tell you about my feelings for you. I wanted this to happen the way it's supposed to, only if it works well between us. By telling you I had feelings for you, that's already an added pressure on you since you'll know I like you and I'm expecting the same from you, when that's not the truth"

"Letting the rest up to you to think and decide. Na sollanumnu nenachadha solliten, idhuku apram whatever you decide on, I'll accept. Thank you for watching and listening to me. You're still my friend, by the way".
