The same evening..

Rahul was waiting for Riya in the restaurant..

He was sitting there with a gloomy face..

He was ready to downpour his anger on her..

Riya arrived there with a smiling face..

“Hii Rahul”,She smiled at him..

“Hii”,he said without any expression in his face..

“Hey..why r u sitting like this man?”,she asked..

“Let me come to the point..why have u
agreed to marry Arjun?”,He asked in a grumpy tone..

“…………………………”,she said..

“what?....................”,he replied..

….

…..

…..

…..

(This conversation will be revealed in the later part of the story as it have so much impact on the story flow)

Rahul left the place with a confusing face but on the other side Riya left with a devilish smile..

The next morning..

Arjun stepped out from his car and saw Shreyas standing in front of his company building..

He decided to talk to him..So he went near him and called him..

“Shrey”,he called..

“ahh..Mama..”,He turned with a shocking reaction..

“sry..ethoo niyabagathula mama nu solliten”,shrey rubbed his nape..

“It’s ok da..en payanthu payanthu pesura..urimayoda pesuveye college times la..u can speak to me like that..I have no issues”,Arjun replied..

“Ok..Arjun”,He smiled..

“Why are u standing here and glaring at my office?”,Arjun asked..

“I came here to attend an Interview..But stopped here after knowing that it was your company”,Shrey replied..

“En company na enna”,Arjun asked..

“Illa..I don’t know how will u receive me nu..that’s why?”,shrey looked down without looking at him..

Arjun grabbed shrey’s collar and said,”ipdi pudichu veliya thallirupen”..

Shrey looked at him confusingly..

“Dei..Na unakku therincha athey arjun tha ulla va”,Arjun smiled at him..

“Na oru nimisham payanthuten”,shrey sighed out his relief..

They both got in and rahul was so happy to see them together again..

“I’m so happy to see you both like this”,Rahul said and hugged them..

“Dei..give him an appointment letter da..I want him to be here..I don’t want to see him wander for a mere job..Appoint him as head of the secretary department”,Arjun said to Rahul..

“Neenga innu marala..na romba payanthute irunthen ungala nenachu”,Shrey said..

“I’m not a devil shrey..I’m a human too”,Arjun said and smiled with a little pain in his heart..

“Sry..That’s my mistake..Akka told me everything about your meeting then only I came to a conclusion about you”,shrey said with a clarity in his speech..

“She told me that you are work in Mumbai what happened to that job”,Arjun asked..

“yes..I have but I want to be here with them that’s why I’m searching for a job here”,he replied and arjun nodded with a smile..

“Ok shrey..amma epdi irukanga”,arjun asked..

“She is good and happy for u both..come to home oneday”,shrey invited him..

“Sure shrey..now go and take charge”,arjun said and shrey went out along with rahul..

One month passed and arjun started to visit shreya’s house often to meet appu(apdinu solitu yara pakka porarunu nammake theriyum)..

Their bond grow stronger and now shreya started to believe arjun as she does before..

Sarathamma too believe them..

She became so attached to arjun as before..

But one thing was not changed..

Krithi akka doesn’t want him to mingle with shreya’s family..

She was angry with him for appointing shrey in his office but rahul managed somehow to convince her..

Arjun and shreya became best friends in this span..

shreya started to share everything with him expect the one that was her past..

Arjun also didn’t want to stress her by asking her past..so he decided to keep silent until she opens up..

As usually Arjun visited shreya’s house that day..

“Va pa”,sarathamma welcomed him in..

“Appu enga amma”,he asked..

“I’m here arjuneeey”,appu hoped like a bunny from the steps and went near him..

“appu..go slow”,shreya came there following appu..

“hii Arjun....When did u came?”,she asked..

“Just now”,he said as he took appu in his arms and made him to sit in his lap..

“Arjuneey..game veladalama”,appu asked in a childish manner..

“ok polamee”,arjun lift him up and was about to go inside..

“dai..he is not a kid..leave him appu”,sarathamma said..

“Achoo aunty..No problem..In fact I had love to play games”,he said and smiled at her..

“ama ama..valantha kolantha mari behave panrathu”,shreya mumbled..

“yetheyy”,Arjun asked eventhough he heared it..

He chuckled inside without showing it out..

“Arjun I need to talk to you something”,sarathamma said..

“tell me ma”,arjun sat down and appu ran inside to play..

“I’m worried about shrey pa..I want to get him married..he lost half of his life for us..I want him to be happy..If you know anyone please let me know about that pa..I’ll be very grateful to u if u do so”,sarathamma said..

“Achoo amma..It was my pleasure to help you..no need to ask me like this amma”,he said..

“how sweetuh?”,shreya thought to herself..

Actually shreya started  loosing herself yet again to him but she doesn’t want to show it out because of her past..

“Amma..I know one girl amma..She is my cousin sister..Eventhough I am in Texas,I sponsored for her studies through Rahul..She is a multitalented girl..I know about her..She was now working in our Chennai branch amma..Her name is Vismaya..I’ll talk to her parents amma..You don’t worry..I’ll let u know once I talked to them”,Arjun said and at the same time Shrey entered in and overheared all their conversations..

“Va da”,Shreya said and looked him..

“Na poi fresh agitu varen”,He said and went in..

Shreya sensed something wrong and decided to talk to him..

Arjun and sarathamma talked for a while..

Arjun left after playing with appu for sometime..

In his room shreyas was sitting worried..

He was to not ready to get into any relationship at this time..

He was not clear with his feelings for Rj venpani..

He was in a dilemma.

“I’m not ready for this..But how to let amma know this..She will be worried if she came to know about this..I have to do something..I don’t know what to do..More than that I have some feelings for her(RJ)..But it is not possible for me to find who she was..will she accept me if I confess it to her?I’m not sure whether I love her or not”,he thought to himself..

He placed his hand on his forehead and leaned back..

He tuned into the FM..

Here comes his angel and savior to help him out..

“Hey all nan unga RJ venpani..Thank you all for waiting me..Let’s get into our question session..Shoot ur questions”,She said with full enthusiasm..

“How much is love important in an arranged marriage?”,a guy asked her..

“Arranged marriage is like migrating into a whole different world..If u like that world before entering there, it might be nice to live there..If u forced to enter there, it takes a lot of time to adjust, for many people it may never work out..In my point of view,Marriage is like a building for which we need a strong foundation that is love..Antha love nra matter film la pakra mathiri oruthara pathaodane vara feelah nu therila, for me, that is the special peace that you find in someone’s presence around you..That feeling of having a person who seems like the solution of all your problems, feeling solace in her words, finding her as your biggest strength and at the same time your biggest weakness itself is the most pure form of love nu nenaikuren”,Rj concluded her speech and signed off..

Shrey was completely lost in her words..

Still he was in a trance..

“Epdi di ne enoda ela problem kum solution ah irukra?(we to him: thambi di la varuthu pa)
Badly want to meet u..yeah..Venpani I love u..I find solace in your voice..You are my strength and you are my weakness too..I love u Venpani..”,he screamed silently(athu epdi nu kekka koodathu apdithan)
