Both Aadhi and Raghav looked at her with wide eyes.Diya's eyes moved to Raghav who was nodding a no but she just ignored it.

'Maa..?',he frowned and she smiled.
'Aama Aadhi,Rendayum naan ungaluku thirumba tharuven.. Neenga happy ah irundha adhu podhum ena... Engaluku..',Diya said and Raghav sighed in disappointment.

'Ithana varshama avan thedi kedaikaadhava ipo nee thedi kedachruvaala?',Raghav asked.
'Kedaipaanga thangam..Naan thedi kandupudikiren..Pudipen..Are you happy now Aadhi?',she asked and he just nodded with a smile.

Aadhi himself didn't know why,an unknown amount of peace surrounded his mind but he couldn't find the same level of excitement and happiness.

'Kelambalama Diya?',Raghav asked and left the room without waiting for anyone's reply.
'Seri Aadhi,neenga Yedhayum nenachu stress pannikaama paduthu thoongunga..Naan kelamburen..', Diya said.

'Bathram,Poitu text pannu...Naaliku paakalam', Aadhi said and Diya left after throwing a fake smile at him.
'Maa..Naan kelamburen.. Paathukonga', Diya bidded bye and left with Raghav.

Raghav was silent throughout the drive but he was extremely frustrated because both of their behaviours.Diya was silently glancing at the window without a word just like how her mind was.

Raghav stopped the car infront of her house.
'Diya..Nee enna panrenu therinjudhan panriyaa?Periya mother theresa,karna vallal nu nenappa un manasula?Avala..Avala nee thedi kandupudika poriyaa?Ithana varsham kalichu avan thirumba vandhurukaan,Un love ah solli puriya vekka vendiyadha vittutu..Yengeyo irukuravala thedi kootitu varen dra?',Raghav asked.

'Enna solli puriya vekka solreenga na?Enna solla solreenga,Avaru manasula innoru ponnu irukaanu therinjum,Hello Aadhi naan ungala love panrenu solla solreengala?Ennaala mudiyaadhu..

Ippo naan Aadhi ya love pannitu iruken,oru paiyan vandhu enna love panraanu therinja,Odane enaala yethuka mudiyuma?En manasatchi padi sollanumna kandippa maaten,Appo odane Aadhi mattum yepdi purinjupaaru,yethupaaru nu neenga yosikalam..

Doctor sonnadha keteengalla..Avaru stress aaga koodadhunu sonannaga,Avara yedhu happy ah vechukanumo adha kuduka sonnaru..Avaru dhan anna enna love pannala,aana naan panren..Avaroda happiness ah vida enaku en love perusu illa na..

Neenga Mother Theresa nu nenachukonga,illa karna vallal nu kooda nenachukonga..Aana idha naan panna dhan poren,Preethi ya naan thedi kandupudikka dhan poren...',Diya said firmly.
'Appo unnoda love?',Raghav asked Diya chuckled sarcastically.

'Ennoda love aniku avaru manasula Preethi nu oru ponnu irukaanu sonna annike artham illa ma pochu..

Thappu en mela dhan..Naan dhan adha marandhutu konjam thadumaariten,Inime seriya nadandhukuren..', Diya left the car without waiting for his reply.

Raghav sighed heavily looking at her disappearing figure.
'Idhuku mela naan enna solradhu.. Kadavule paathu pannu pa..',Raghav thought looking up before leaving.

Diya walked inside her house with tears filled eyes.
'No,Naan azhakoodadhu..Naan yen azhanum?Enamo iniku mudinju pona maari yen azhara?Yellam dhan anike mudinjupochu la..Look Diya,this is over...Thevai illama ini endha aasaiyum valathukaadha...',Diya said to herself, hugging her knees, sitting on the bed.But nothing helped,tears still flowing down her cheeks.

Suddenly she felt all alone,her mind was going through a thousands of wars but no one was there, by her side.She can dial Vicky or Raghav,but they were living their own life now and she felt it won't be fair to disturb them.

What if her Mom was there with her?What if her Father or what if Kavya?Or anyone who can she open,who can took all her worries away,who can give her a warm hug to comfort her..

Wiping her tears she laid down on her bed covering herself with a comforter.

'Diya ma..',Nila came down yawning.
'Nila..Thoongalaya?', Diya asked wiping her tears and sat up.

'Therila thideernu Thookam pochu Diya ma..Naan unkooda thoonguren iniku..',Nila lied down beside her.
'Padu ma',she pulled Diya and hugged her.
'Good night Diya ma..',Nila snuggled more and Diya kissed her forehead.
'Good night Nila..', Diya smiled.

She found the answer for her own question,she found peace lying beside her.Her lips curved looking at the little girl sleeping with a calm face.The one whom is she is living for.

Diya closed her eyes as caressing Nila's hair, slowly slumber Goddess approached her.

'Diya ma...Diya maa...Yendhiri maa...',Nila shook her.
'Enna dii???', Diya asked still closing her eyes.
'Maa.. school ku time aayiduchu..Vidu enna poganum..',Nila said shaking her.

'Yen di kaalangaathala?Padu di pesama..', Diya mumbled.
'Pch..Iru iru..Unna yepdi ezhupanumnu enaku theriyum..'Nila thought with a mischievous smile.

'Diya maa...Aadhi vandhurukaaru endhiri..',Nila shouted and Diya sat up with a jerk.Realising that was a lie,Diya glared her.
'Hehe..Yemandhiyaa?', Nila asked but Diya was too tired to response.
'Po di pesama..',Diya sighed.

'Avaru peru sonnadhum Odane endhirikira..Hmmm nee nadathu..',Nila ran from there making her chuckle.
'Neeyum kelambuuu..Aadhi paaka porella nee',Nila said.
'Ahn ahn poren..', Diya sighed.

Diya sighed heavily before getting ready.She took her shower and got ready, her mouth widened in shock when her eyes fell on the clock.

'Heyyy....Its 07.40 dii..Un van miss aayirukume..',Diya yelled rushing out from the room and found Nila who was casually sitting on the couch, dressed up in her school uniform and scrolling down her mobile.

'Heyyy..Yenna di casual ah ukandhutu iruka?Van poirukume?',Diya asked.
'Aama poiduchu',Nila shrugged.
'Assault ah solra?School ku poga venaama nee?', Diya asked.

'Unnaala dhan Diya ma late uh,Nee dhan enna vidaama pudichutu thoongitu irundha..Naan evlovo ezhupa try panna nee kumbakarna maari thoongura..So Bus ponadhu unnaala dhan..',Nila pouted and Diya sighed.

'Serii..Ennaala dhana..Naane unna school la drop panra', Diya said.
'Huh avlo easy ah naan vara maatennn,Naan varanumna Rendu condition iruku adhuku okay naa dhan naan varuven..',Nila huffed.
'Condition aah?Tell me quick',Diya said.

'Umm... First enaku school ku pora vazhi la nee icecream vaangi tharanum..',Nila ordered.
'Ice cream ah?Mudiyaadhu..Innum two days la exams start aagudhula unaku?Cold pudichukita yepdi padippa?', Diya asked making Nila huff.

'Typical mummy maadhiri pesaadha..Oru icecream la onnum aagadhu..Enaku ice cream vaangi kuduthaadha varuven,illaati nagara maatene',Nila said.
'Fine,Next?', Diya asked defeated.
'Iniki night Swetha veetla group studies plan pannirukom,nee enna allow pannanum..',Nila said.

'Apo already plan potu dhana pannitu iruka nee? Group studies ndra perula neengalam enna panuveenga nu theriyaadha enaku?', Diya asked.
'Promise Diya ma,Night movies paakave maatom,time waste pannitu arattai adikave maatom,endha games um velaada maatom,Padichutu mattum dhan irupom',Nila said making Diya sigh.

'Hmm..Nambiten nambiten..Seri poi thola,aana ipo school ku kelambu..', Diya said and Nila hugged her neck and kissed her cheek.
'Thank you Diya ma,you are the best mom here',Nila said pulling back.

'Ice vechadhu podhum,concentrate on your studies too!', Diya said and Nila nodded enthusiastically.
'Seri vaa polaam..', Diya took Nila too their car after having breakfast.

'Enaku Butterscotch and oru black current',Nila ordered making Diya glare.
'Oru icecream nu sonna maari irundhuchu?',Diya asked raising her eyebrows.
'I don't remember anything like that',Nila shrugged receiving her icecreams from the vendor.

'Seriyaana kd..Cold mattum pudikatum di iruku unaku..',Diya rolled her eyes.
'Seri seri..Indha..',Nila passed her a chocobar making Diya smile.

'Unaku idhudhana pudikum..',Nila said.
'Illa..Enaku en Nila va dhan romba pudikum', Diya said.
'Eww..Romba cheesy ah iruku Diya ma..Pudi pudi',Nila said and Diya chuckled before receiving her icecream.

'Polaama?',Diya asked finishing her icecream.
'Polaam Diya ma', Nila nodded and they both headed to the school which Nila studying.

'Olunga padi,Veetuku vandhutu poviya?Illa straight ah Swetha veetuka?',Diya asked.
'Illa Diya ma, veetuku vandhutu,freshen up aayitu apro ma ava veetuku poren',Nila replied.

'Seri,naan evening veetla irupena therila..Naan irundha I'll drop you, illlana driver uncle ta sollu',Diya said and Nila nodded.
'Seri bathram',Diya kissed her forehead.
'Seri Diya ma, byeee',Nila left not before kissing Diya's cheek.

She received a call and it showed Aadhi!She immediately attend the call.
'Sollunga Aadhi',
'Maa..Where are you?', Aadhi asked.
'Umm..Naan inga Nila va school la drop pannitu ipodhan kelambunen..',Diya replied.

'Okay ma,Ippo naanum Raghav um enga varanum?',Aadhi asked.
'Aadhi naan enaku therinja oru dance master kita pesiruken,Basker master..So avaroda old studio onnu iruku,Naan location share panren..Rendu perum vandhurunga',Diya explained.

'Seri ma,Nee paathu va..Naangalum kelambitom',Aadhi said.
'Okay Aadhi..Vaanga',Diya declined the call and headed to Basker master's studio.

'Vaa chellam..Evlo naal aachu unna paathu',Basker master gave her a side hug and Diya reciprocated it.
'Yepdi irukeenga master?',she asked.
'Nalla iruken chellam,Nee yepdi iruka?',Master asked.
'Nalla iruken Master',Diya replied.

'Nee eduthurukura effort ku all the best chellam,Yenga un friend innum varalaya?', Master asked.
'Idho vandhuruvaanga master..',Diya said and they both reached.

'Aadhi,Ivaru Basker master..Naan sonnela namma show oda first season oda finale ku master special guest ah vandhurundhaaru...And truly he is a fatherly figure to me..',Diya said and Master patted her head before greeting Aadhi.

'Thank you master,Studio va kuduthadhuku..',Aadhi smiled.
'Idhula enna da iruku,en ponnu ketaa naan kuduthuten..Apro Diya ellathayu sonna,Romba nalla aadra da nee..Chance ey illa,Ena grace,ena style uh..Ellathayum vida oru passion oda aadra ellathukittayum adhu irukaadhu..Rendu perum show la participate panreenga, final la thatti thookureenga..',Basker praised.

'Periya aalu lam ila da..Innum neraya kathukanum,kathukitu iruken..Diya dhan un videos lam kaamicha..Unmailaye romba nalla iruku',Master said.

His gaze moved to Diya who was having a wide smile on her face and his lips too curved seeing her.
'Thanks master',Aadhi smiled after shifting his gaze on Master.

'Enna da Raghav uh?Nee mattum vandhuruka?Yenga andha noodles um Motta rajendhran oda duplicate um? Koodave oruthan suthuvaane da naaku poochi maari,avanayum kaanom?',Master asked.
