Arjun’s pov:

I reached the park and was waiting for Appu and shreya..

I was sitting in the bench and thinking about them..

Suddenly I felt a hand on me..

I turned back and found appu..

‘’Uncleey..What r u thinking? I’m here’’,He said and Looked at me..

I felt happy by the way he addressed me..

Shreya used to call me Arjuneey when we were together..

‘’Oh Sir vanthacha..Take this’’,I made him to sit on my lap and offered him some pastries..

‘’Blueberry flavour thana?’’,He starred at me..

‘’How come I forget that?this is exactly blueberry than’’,I said and kissed him..

‘’Ur beard is tickling me’’,he said and smiled..

I laughed and at the same time amused..

He is exactly the same as my shreya ma..

His each and every actions reminds me her..

‘’U naughty boy’’,I pulled his nose..

‘’valikuthu uncleyy’’,he said..

’’Ama intha uncleyy enga
Pudicha’’,I asked..

’’Ellam oru pasam..affection’’,
He said in his childish voice..

I’m correct he is exactly a xerox copy of my shreya..

‘’Ama..yaar kootitu vantha unna’’,I asked..

‘’Amma’’,he pointed behind me..

I turned back and found shreya..

She is watching us with a smile in her lips..

I waved my hand and smiled..

She smiled at me back..

I felt surreal..

This was the smile I waited for almost Six years..

She came near us and sat down on the bench..

We two have just some inches gap between us..

Appu was sitting on my lap and was eating the pastries..

‘’Hii..Arjun..Epdi irukka’’,She asked me..

‘’I’m.. I’m..I’m.. fine’’,I starred stammering..

‘’En tensed ah irukka..Feel free’’,she comforted me..

‘’Ok Shreya..Ne epdi irukka’’,I asked..

‘’Neye pakrala?I’m happy with him’’,she said pointing Appu..

I looked at appu..

He was eating without caring
About anything..

We both started admiring his cuteness..

‘’Amma..uncle na poi ball veldava?’’,He asked and We two nodded..

He went to play..

There was a pleasant silence tormented us..

Shreya broked that..’’Aprom..How is akka and shreya?’’,She asked..

''They both were doing great and I
Should thank Rahul for looking after them All these years’’,I said..

‘’Yes u r correct..He is gem’’,She replied..

She tucked a hair strand behind her ear while talking..

Her jhumkas..Her bindi..She is perfect in all the ways..

I was admiring her antics..

she suddenly turned towards
Me and I immediately shifted my gaze..

‘’When are u going to get married Arjun?,She asked me..

I felt an unbearable pain in my heart when she asked me That..

''Akka was looking for bride..May be soon..’’,I Controlled all my emotions and answered her..

‘’Great.. Get .married soon’’,she replied..

‘’If u don’t mind can I ask u something? ‘’,I asked her..

‘’Yes Arjun..’’,she said and looked at me .meticulously..

‘’Un husband enga enna panrar?’’,I asked..

Her eyes widened and suddenly filled with tears..

‘’Sry..I have asked a wrong thing..sry’’,I apologized..

‘’Nothing like that Arjun..

He is not with us and I don’t
need anyone for me..I’m happy with appu..I never ever Want to remember him’’,she said..

I felt guilty as I thought I was the reason for all these Disasters..

At the same time I still have some hope in my Heart when she said like that..

‘’shreya ma..i’m sry..I’’,I started and
She stopped me..

''Arjun..Just forget everything arjun..
At first I was wandering between my mind and heart.. Finally I decided to go with my heart..forget everything Arjun
start a fresh life..Enjoy each and every moment of ur life Arjun..Rahul anna was the one who cleared me everything.. Let's be a good friends till the end'',she saidand extended her hand for a shake..

When I about to touch her hand her eyes widened on seeing something behind me..

She stood up and started running..

I turned and saw appu chasing a butterfly and was about to fall in a pit..

''Appu stop there'',she shouted but he didn't hear that..

I too started running towards him..

''Aryaaaaaa..Stop there..Aryaaaaaa..'',she screamed..

My eyes widened and my legs started trembling on hearing this..

I lost my balance and fell down..

''Aryaa..Aryaa..Aryaa..'',I kept repeating that..

My eyes teared up and I saw shreya took appu in her hands with my blurry eyes..

My memories rolled back..

It was us who decided to name our child as ARYA then as a token of our love..

I was on cloud nine when I came to know that Appu’s Name is Arya..

But why she kept that name to him..

My heart started asking a bundle of questions..

I started connecting her words about her husband with This..

Then who is Appu’s father..

But one thing is clear for me that shreya is still loving me..
(Arjun to readers: Epdi solrenla kekatheenga athu Arjun’s
Instinct after knowing all these)

I wiped my tears as they are approaching me..

Shreya came near me and said,’’He is so naught’’..

‘’Unna vidava?’’,I chuckled..

she smiled at me..

I was lost in a trance..

''Vaanga velayadalam rendu
Perum’’,Appu called us..

He throwed the ball towards me..

It hitted my waist..

‘’Aww’’,I whined..

‘’Achoo sry uncle sry’’,he rubbed me with his soft hands..

‘’Appu u can call me Arjun instead of uncle’’,I said..

‘’Hmm..Ok Arjuneey’’,he leaped and throwed the ball to Shreya..

Shreya and me looked at each other at the time on hearing this..

It started drizzling..

Both my Rowdies jumped and clapped their hands..

I am now able to see my two little children playing joyfully in front of me..

''U both were my dream Came true’’,I mumbled..

Author’s pov:

Shreya and appu reached home..

Appu finished his dinner and slept earlier..

Sarathama and shreya were discussing about arjun and today's happenings in the dinning area..

Shreyas as usual busy with his RJ..

''Hey all..Nan unga Rj venpani..U can talk to me whatever u want..I'll answer u if I have any knowledge about that'',
Rj said..

Shreyas wanted to give it a try..

Shreyas couldn't believe that his call got connected.

He came to reality when rj said " we  have a new caller on line,  hi there, I am looking forward to your question."

Sreyas wasn't prepared this time.

His increased admiration towards the RJ made him insane.

He tried calling her so many times when he was in Mumbai but it didn’t worked..

"Actually..love..itha pathi unga karuthu
enna?",he whispered the word love..

"etha pathi?",Rj asked..

When a mosquito bit him and he hitted it in reflex and shouted''Ahh''..

''Deii enna anga satham'',Shreya
asked from the hall..

Shreyas said "kosu" and rj asked
surprisingly "kosu ah pathi karutha?" Shreyas who is still figuring out what is happening unknowingly humms positivily.

Rj speaks after a second of
thought "naan pathathilaye most loving
creature vanthu mosquito dhan. Normal aah Namma oruthar oda family member aah kill panina they will take
revenge ryt, but kosu apdi illa, no matter if u kill all of its relatives, family and friends, torture it or send it away, it
keeps coming near you,Humm melodies near your ears, kiss u often, it acts like ur lover soulmate, always loving,
caring and clinging around. At the end of the day, it keeps its promise of never to make u feel lonely.Ivlootha kosu
pathi ennaku therinchathu..Ok namma adutha caller ku
polam..bye'',she disconnected the call..

Shreyas was awestrucked..''Crazy girl'',He smiled to himself and came out of his room..

''Dei..Kosu kadicha mosquito repellent poda vendithane..en kathura'',Sarathama asked him..

''Amma..kosu va kolla koodathu ma, it is the most loving creature  I haver seen'' he thesame thing as RJ said..

They both starred at him..

''Ivan vara vara sari illa oru ponu pathu kalyanam panni vachathan sari varuvan.. Eppa paru FM nonditu iruntha
ipditha agum'',Sarathama said..

Shreyas looked at shreya and smiled sheepishly..

But somehow Sarathama's words hitted
him harder..
