He entered inside his room angrily and throwed his mobile on the bed and sat with thud on the couch by burying his face in his palms with full of frustration.

Arj:Evlo kovam koraikanu nu nenachaalu iva vidave maatenguraale... idhellaa nadakaama irundhirundhaa naa en love eh solleerpe.. yen di ipdi pandre....che....

Here sahana too placed her palm on her wound and...

Sa:Enakke ivlo kovo vara vakkuraane..yaaru da nee porukki...she mumbled angrily.

Arjun asusual started to puff his cigarette to calm himself while sahana slept by controlling her anger.

Arun came towards sahana's rooom and peeked in to see his daughter sleeping peacefully with pout and red nose indicating something made her anger..

He chuckled seeing her red nose and kissed her forehead.Inturn she smiled in her deep sleep too and continued to sleep with soft snores.Arun chukled and left from there by leaving her to sleep for sometimes.

He closed her room door and turned back to move downstairs but halted in his tracks when he heard Arjun's shout..

Arj:Venaa nu sonnaa kelu paati..naa saapdala neenga poi saapdunga bye..

Arun frowned and moved infront of Arjun's room and knocked the door..

Arjun sighed and got up from the couch and opened the door..but he smiled seeing Arun..

Arun:Saapda varlayaa Arjun?...he asked smiling back.

Arj:Illa uncle..ena..enakku venaa pasikala..naa varla neenga saaptinglaa?

Arun:Naanu saapda dha pa pone..adhaa sahana vayu unnayu kooptu polaa nu vandhe..vaa saapdalaa..

Arjun gulped.

Arj:Ill..illa uncle ena..enakku pasikala naa varla neenga saapdunga..he repeated again.

Arun:Adhu enna pa pasikala naa saapda koodaadhaa enna..saradha unakku Saethu dha senjirukaa nee saapdala naa avadha romba kashta paduvaa vaa..he dragged him.

Arj:Ill..illa uncle adhu....(he dragged)... seri neenga ponga naa face wash mattu panneetu vare..

Arun:Seri kandippa varnu yemaathida maate le..

Arj:Aiyo apdilaa panna maate uncle..neenga ponga naan vare..he chuckled.

Arun smiled and went towards the dining.Arjun sighed and got freshen up and moved downstairs not before glancing her closed room in corner of his eyes.

Sar:Vaa pa Arjun..vaa vandhu utkaaru pasikala nu sonniyaamaa..ennaachu?

Arjun sat on the chair beside the dining and..

Arj:Illa aunty lite aah thala vali avlo dha..

Sar:Thala valiyaa..enna Arjun nee idha modhalaye solla maatiyaa?..

She went near him placed her palms on his forehead and neck checking his temperature..Arjun gulped and his eyes got blurred..

Sar:Fever laa illaye..seri saaptu tablet pottutu thoongu seri aayiru..naliku company ku venaa leave..

Arj:Aiyo Aunty adhellaa venaa..enakku onnu illa light aa dha Valikudhu seri aayiru..

Saradha chuckled.

Sar:Arun sahana enga?

Arjun shut his eyes and took deep breath and opened it again..

Arun:Av...

Sa:Vandhutte ma...she ran downstairs but again winced in pain and got stumbled on her place..They all got panicked..

Arun/Sar/Arj:Kutty ma paathu/Eii sahana vilundhuraadha di/Saha..

Before she could kiss the floor Arjun ran beside her and balanced her by wrapping his arm around her shoulder by clasping her palm with his.

Arj:Paathu vara maatiye d..(gulped)..Sa..sahana...?

Sahana opened her eyes and saw him by raising her eyebrows..He gulped and left her shoulder and scratched his eyebrows..sahana twisted her lips at him and sat beside her father..Arjun too followed her and sat on his chair opposite to hers.

Arun:Paathu vara maatiyaa sahana haa?..he caressed her hair.

Sa: Sorry pa..she pouted

Arun shooked his head smiling.

Sa:Maa..chappathi vai vai...she said excitedly but gulped by seeing her stare on her.

Sa: sorry ma..inimel paathu nadappa..promise...she showed her puppy eyes which made saradha to chuckle.

Samv:Happaada thappucho..she sighed in relief but glared Arjun who was suppressing his laugh by biting his lips on understanding her mind.

Sar:Indhaanga saapdunga..

Sa:Maa velvizhi ch...(she gulped)..ve..velvizhi enga?aaahhhh..vidu vidu..aah valikudhu...she shouted in pain when..

Vel:Peru solliyaa koopudre?...she twisted her ears and left her after few seconds.

Sahana rubbed her ears and pouted at her.

Vel:Moonji apdi vakkadha saapdu..she served her kuruma.

Sa:You are the best vel...she kissed her palm.Others chuckled.Arjun saw her without blinking but it was disturbed by..

Vel:Indhaanga Arjun... kettu vaangi saapdanu seriyaa?

Arjun smiled and nodded at her.

They began to eat their dinner chuckling at sahana's mokka jokes and her college experiences..while Arjun continued to see her often intensely..She diverted her mind from him by speaking with everyone..he suppressed his chuckle by seeing her struggle for not to look at him back..

After sometime,,

Ab:Heyy cupcake enna vittu saapudre paathiyaa?...he entered inside and glared sahana fakely.

She giggled and signed him to come and join with them as she was busy in eating her favourite chappathi.

Abby chuckled and got refreshed and came back to dining..

Ab:Paahh.. I'm so hungry ma..seekro chappathi vainga..he said by sitting beside sahana by dashing his shoulder with hers.Inturn she glared him and pushed his shoulder with hers.Abby chuckled.

Ab:Vali epdi irukku? Paravalayaa ippo?

Sa:Haa mmm...she bobbed her head with full of chappathi inside her mouth.

Ab:Ovvanaa dha saapde..ipdi onnaa saaptu pora yer..

Before he could complete his sentence she started to choke on her food by tapping her head top with her palm..

Arun and Arjun on same time stretched the glass of water to her..Arun saw him but Arjun was seeing sahana with worried look..Arun smiled and placed the glass back on the table..but sahana pushed Arjun's hand away and took the glass from Arun's side..

Arjun smiled nervously at others who was seeing them with frown.He drank the water in gulp and stood up to wash his hands.. Saradha stopped him..

Sar:Eii Arjun enga pora?

Arj: Enakku podhu Aunty..naa poi kai kaliveetu Varen..he smiled and moved inside the kitchen to wash his hands.

Saradha glared sahana..but sahana hid her face behind the glass from.her mother's look and gulped the water.

But sahana still choked Abby raised his hand to pat her head top but before that one hand clutched his wrist stopping him..

All saw Arjun who was smiling at Abby.. Abby smiled back squinting his eyes questioningly..Arjun left his hands and..

Arj:Adhu.. avalukku nethila adi patrukka naale..thalai le adichinga naa valikku..adhunaale...he clutched Arun's wrist in his fist and made Arun's palm to caress her back..and left it when Arun smiled at him.

Sahana came back to normal slowly and looked at Arjun who was climbing upstairs towards his room

Arun:Paathu saapdu kutty ma..he caressed her back for one last time and all continued to eat their dinner smiling..

Sa:Chithi.. Chithappa enga?

Vel:Avaru innu varle di..

Arun:Innu vela mudilayaa Abby?

Ab:Illa Periyappa..innu mudila..naan irukke nu dha sonne aana avaru po naa varenu sonnaaru innu kaano..

Arun nodded.

Sahana ate her dinner by seeing Arjun's room door often which was noticed by everyone in the dining but they didn't questioned her anything..

Samv:Yen Arjun ipdi pandre?Unakku yen avlo.kovo varudhu naa Abby kooda pesunaa?Idhukku enna artho?Manda vedikidhe...she groaned mentally.

Soon Varun too joined them and all ate their dinner and retired to their respective rooms.

Sahana was tossing on her bed without sleeping coz her thoughts were full on the creature sleeping in his room which is beside hers..She gritted her teeth and sat up straight by folding her legs.

Sa:Ennaye inga polamba vachuttu anga avan nalla thoonguraan polaye...che...number irundhaavaadhu summa phone panni thoonga vidaama tholla panlaa..avaru number uh illaye..she groaned.

Aftersometimes she stood up from the bed and tied her hair into bun and went out of her room before closing the door behind her.

She silently opened Arjun's room door and went inside and closed it without sound and turned back...searched him on the bed..but she frowned not finding him there..

Sa:Enga ponaan ivan?

Arj:Mm maaa...

She heard some sound from the balcony and moved towards it gulping in fear..she placed her palms on the wall and peaked inside the balcony to see him lying down on the floor bending himself like a arc and mumbling in his sleep hugging himself tight..

She got panicked and rushed towards him and kneeled down before him..

Sa: Arjuneyy arjuneyy inga paaru Heyy..she called him panickly.

Arj:Mmm maa..amma..ku..kulur..udhu maa..amma..he whined hugging him tight.

Sahana eyes filled with tears..but she controlled it placed her palm on his forehead to check his temperature but hissed and took it off quickly..

Sa:Aiyo enna ipdi kodhikudhu.. arjuneyy inga paaru oii...she called him again caressing his hair.

He inturn holded her hands in his and placed her palm on his left cheek..and snuggled more into her kutty palms..

Arj:Maa...paati...he whined sleepily snuggling to her palm.And searched something with his another hand soon it hit her leg he crawled up and placed his head on her thigh and snuggled to get some warmth from her..

She whimpered by his act as he began to snuggle into her tummy by crawling up..before he could reach her chest...she placed him again on the floor and wriggled out from his hold and ran inside his room and came back again towards him with pillow and his mobile..

She placed his head slowly on the pillow and caressed his hair and palms to give some warmth..inturn he burried his face on the pillow and crushed it hard shivering..

She ran back inside the room again and took his comforter and wrapped him fully with that..he clutched the bedsheet and murmured..

Arj:Ka..kam..ala..kam..ala..he murmured continuously like a mantra by missing his paati's presence beside him.

Sahana wiped her tears which she herself don't know when it gets spilled from her eyes..and tried to unlock his mobile but sighed..she thought for sometimes and placed his forefinger on the finger printer and unlocked it..
