The day of the competition!
Diya's nervousness was at its peak,she was not sure that she could do this.The competition was going to start in few hours,even the thought was making Diya more nervous.The bond between Diya and stages has been broken since long.Now its time for a patch up.

Diya looked at herself in the mirror once again and took a deep breath.
'Yes!I can do it!',she huffed and left the room and saw the arranging auditorium.Chairs and tables were being arranged,the decorations were completed already,participants were getting ready..The total auditorium seems busy, everyone was enjoying the time but Diya couldn't.

Diya was praying inside that her clumsy behaviour should not make any mess in her performance.
'Thalaivi..Neenga ivlo tension aaga venaam..Calmdown',Vicky said.
'Bayam ah iruku da..Oru vela naan nalla panlena? Edhavadhu sodhapiruchuna?Ore asingama poidum..Im really scared Vicky..',she was in verge of tears.

'If I can, I'll run far away from here right now!',Diya said and Vicky chuckled.
'Neenga ivlo bayapadave venaam!! Paathukalam!You are well practiced, aren't you?No problem then!', Vicky said but Diya was still unconvinced.

'Heyy Diya!',Aadhi came there in his dance costume.He was ravishing in the costume.He was wearing a white tee with a blue checked jacket and black pants.His coolers and well set hair,beard everything was perfect.

Diya was drooling at him while Vicky nudged her arm.
'Enna da?',Diya asked.
'Urugidadheenga thalaivi!', Vicky said and Diya pinched his arm.

'Enna Diya?All set?',Aadhi asked.
'Everything is perfect Aadhi!',she replied.
'Hmm..Summa nee okay ahnu paakadhan vandhen.Don't be nervous okay! Paathukalam',Aadhi said and she smiled.

Later all her brothers joined her, wishing her and made her more confident.
'All the best thangam..Edhum bayapadadha..',Raghav said.
'Aama da naanga ingeye dhan irupom okay ah?',Pugazh joined him.

'Summa irunga da..Adhellam ava pannuvaa',Shravan said.
'Haiyoo my dear brothers!Naan bayapadla!',Diya said for her sake of brothers but she was hell nervous.

'Dei Mani yenga?',Aadhi asked.
'Anga dhan da iruka.. Staffs oda varuvenu sonnaa..Unga rendu perukum best of luck um sonnaa',Raghav said.

'Okay its time for competition,naanga poi ukaarom.Thangachi kalaku!Dei Aadhi mass pannu..',Pugazh said and they left to the audience seat.

Diya looked at her once in her mobile camera.She checked herself adjusting her curls and blood rushed to her cheeks when she heard Aadhi saying,'Azhaga dhan ma iruka..Ethana vaati paapa?'.

'Haan..Therila..Oru maari nervous ah iruku..',Diya said hiding her blush.
'Everything will be okay!', Aadhi said and Diya smiled.

The Competition started and participants started to perform.When it came to Aadhi,he rocked the stage with his performance.He has grace and style on his own.His legs were moving according to the beat and all his each and every moves were flawless.

Diya was in total awestruck.This is the first time she was seeing Aadhi's perfomance in stage infront of her own eyes.Hearing the crowd screaming his name,she felt proud.Happy tears made its way on her cheeks and she quickly wiped it.

He done his performance and his gang rushed to him once he got down from the stage,Diya too went along with them.

'Kalakeeta machaan!!!',Raghav gave him a tight hug and the whole gang joined him while Diya stood still smiling.After the boys banter,Diya gave him a gentle handshake and a warm smile hiding all her overwhelming emotions.

'Semmaya panneenga!Unga fan aayiten naan already',Diya said and he chuckled.
'Naanum dhan!Un paatukku!And waiting for your performance.',Aadhi said and she smiled widely.

'Dei Arjun!Number 3 okay ah?',a guy asked a guy named Arjun.
'3 ah?Pakka va Dheena?', Arjun asked.
'Pakkava irukum machi..',Dheena replied.

'Seri iniku namma target number 3!So let's execute the plan.. Come on my dear boys!',Arjun said with a smirk while his gang was nodding for his words.

They left to the sound effects room and waited for the third person to perform in singing.
And unfortunately it was Diya.

Diya was the next one to perform.Seeing the crowd,she felt dizzy and her heartbeat was uneven.Wiping her sweat with her hand key,she took a deep breath to relax herself,but still she can't be normal.

Hearing her name in announcement,Diya stepped up to the stage and held the mike.But it was not working.
'Check check!1,2,3' she checked the mic and the sudden connection made the sound louder and everyone laughed at her voice.

'Dei indha Dora bujji dhan paada pogudhu...',a guy in the crowd shouted and everyone started laughing.

She again checked the mike but again its not working.The mike started making weird sounds which made audience close their ears in irritation.

Her panickness was increasing second by second and the audience has lost their cool already.

They started yelling and laughing some of them were signalling to get off the stage and Diya started to cry.She never expected that things will turn this worst.She left the mike there and ran out from the auditorium.

She was still crying and crying until her eyes became red and puffy.
'Diya',she heard his voice and wiped her tears.She silently turned to his side with a down face.

'Yen ipo azhara?Yedhuku ipo nee anga irundhu odi vandha?',Aadhi asked Diya broke into tears.
'Naan vera enna panradhu? Everyone was laughing at me!en performance ku munnadiye they started to laugh hearing my voice..Idhunala dhan naan participate panna matenu sonnen..',Diya said wiping her tears.

'What is your fault in this?That Mike wasn't working right? Management paathukum,And un voice ku enna?Nee adha paadi anga proof panradha vittutu yen paadhila odi vandha?',Aadhi asked and she remained silent.

'Look!Naan unna namburen!Un talent ah namburen!Ippo idhumaadhiri react pannavanga ellarayum..stun them by your performance!Diya you can do it!

Nee poi ipo perform pannu,unna stage vittu eranga sonnavan ellam.. Nikkama paada solluvaan..Trust me!',he said and her heart was getting warm from each of his words.

'Enna namburella?',he asked lifting her chin up and she nodded looking into his eyes.
'Unna nambu!You can do it!Naan yaaru?Nee paadradha oru rendu moonu dhadava ketrupena?Naane unna ivlo namburen!But you?You know your skills well.You should be more confident than me,Okay',he wiped her tears.

'The stage is yours Diya!Poo!',Aadhi said with a smile.

It truly bring back the confidence inside her.It was so surprising for her that Aadhi was believing her this much.She was beyond happiness and the strength he gave her was priceless.She was going through with multiple of emotions inside her.But she know what she wanted to do.

Diya nodded and rushed to the stage.She held the mike again with all confidence!
'The Stage is yours Diya!', she heard Aadhi's voice again and took a deep breath.

She checked the mike and it works.
'Check,1,2,3!'
Everyone started laughing at her voice again but Aadhi's face crossed her mind.

'I should believe myself!',she thought and closed her eyes.

The crowd stopped their shouts and murmers hearing her stunning voice.Diya smiled and continued..

'Paavam da..Poi sorry ketralam..',Arjun said and looked at his friends who was looking at her with a wide open mouth.

(Sutrum boomi mele song from Idhu enna maayam)

Diya heard a great applause from the crowd along with screamings.She opened her eyes immediately searched Aadhi who was clapping his hands,stood by leaning on the wall with a plastered smile on his face.

She left down and straightly went near Aadhi.
'Thanks!Naan angeye sollirupen,but I wanted to say thank you like this.This happy screams,applauses everything is because of you..My gratitude',she smiled and continued,

'Enna vitrundha naan apdiye odeerupen inga irundhu,Neenga vandhu pesalenna..',she said.

'Hmm your thanks accepted,Aana idhu ellame unnodadhu!',he said and she looked confused.He shook his head at her with a smile,'This applause,screams everything is for your performance..Naan onnum pannala..Nee unmela vecha andha confidence dhan!And your performance was awesome..All the best',he smiled and she nodded in tears.

'Papa..Kalakeeta!!!',her brothers gave her a warm hug.
'Naangalam romba bayandhutom da,Nee stagela irundhu ponadhum..Naanga lam vandhu unta pesalamnu nenacha apodhan..Machaan engala ellam wait panna sollitu unkitta vandhaan..You rocked the stage Diya!',Pugazh said and Diya looked at Aadhi with a smile.

'Romba awesome ah panna thangam!',Raghav complimented.
'Diya that was fabulous!Super ah panna da!!!',Mani said and gave her hug.
'Thanks ka',she replied.

'Thalaivi! Ultimate dhan mass panteenga!!!',Vicky said giving her a side hug and Diya reciprocated it.

Then the results announced both of them got first prize in their respective categories.

Diya felt overwhelmed,she was receiving a first prize after a long and the patch up between her and stage has really worked out.And Aadhi's support was the huge surprise to her,she never expected that.

'Naan unna namburen!',tears made its way on her cheeks and the reason behind was Aadhi.Happy tears.
Her love stood by her side today to support her!The moment will be hetched in her heart forever!No words can recreate the moment and her feelings right now.Without knowing about the waiting surprises for her she walked from there.

'Unga peru unmayave Maya va?',a guy asked.
'Illa Diya',she smiled.
'But enga ellarukume neenga Maya dhan!Serious ah you did a magic through your voice!Superb!!', another guy said and she thanked in response.

They all left from the auditorium after bidding bye to eachother.Aadhi and Diya made their way to the bus stop.They reached the bus stop and Aadhi received a call.

'Let me finish this',Aadhi said making a move and a guy approached Diya.

'Ahmm Diya..',he was so guilt and hesitant to look at her.
'Yes,Neenga?',she asked.
'Im Arjun,Adhu..I need to apologise you...',he said.

'Yedhuku?',Diya asked.
'Hmm.. actually naanga dha andha mike..Naanga dhan pannomm..But never thought that'll be a big issue..thevai illama ungaluku kashtam..Sorry for what me and my friends did', Arjun said and received a tight slap from Aadhi.

'Aadhi..enna panreenga please..',Diya pulled him.
'Yen da yosikaama?Paathella ellarum epdi sirichaanganu..Yosika maateengala?Evlo dhairiyam unaku',Aadhi clutched his shirt while Arjun kept calm.

'Aadhi Prechana venaam...',Diya said pulling Aadhi, holding him and she looked at Arjun.

'Its okay,Aana onnu solren..Please think twice before doing such things,they must've taken a lot of efforts to be in the stage.So please,neenga fun kaga panreenga but remember,there is a life behind them..Yosikaama neenga panradhu avanga life la epdi venalu baadhikalam..Sollanumnu thonichu',Diya said and Arjun remained silent and the bus arrived.

'Vaanga polaam',Diya pulled Aadhi inside the bus and Arjun glared him.

'Deii..Avan yen da unna adichaan?',Dheena asked.
'Adhaan da..Thimiru!Pakkathula ponnu irukunu sir heroism kaatraru..Yedho konjo famous ngra yetham dhan avanuku..',another guy poured more fuel on Arjun's anger.

'Machaan.. Yedhavadhu pannanum da avangala',Dheena said.
'Dei andha ponnu paavam da, already namma panna velaiku,she suffered.Aana andha Aadhi,avanuku enna?Avan enna aaguraannu paaru..',Arjun caressed his cheek and hissed in pain.

He could feel Aadhi's finger prints on his cheek.
'Badhil solla veppen da avana..andha Ponnu munnadi enna adichaanla..',Arjun smirked.
