Anirudh's P.O.V:

Just see what I'm going to do next....., I said and smiled at them.....

Then, we just left the place.... Iyappan and I just waved our hands to Asha and left the place in our car.... We straightly went to my house..... I saw grandma who was sitting at the hall while taking some selfies....

Anirudh's MV: You're the reason for all this grandma..... Why I told everything to you??

Hey Ani..... Why are you here this early time?? Don't you want to spend more time with her?....., grandma asked while looking at me and kept her phone on the table.....

Anirudh MV: Can I say all that to grandma?? May be she can solve this problem... No No... Don't tell this to her Ani.... If she just blabbered something to mom means everything will end there itself....

I'm asking right?, my grandma again spoke which made me to came back to the sense....

Nothing grandma.... She has some works and I too... So, I just came earlier itself...., I literally lied but hoping that my grandma will believe as she was starring at me like anything...

Oh!, that's all she said and again started to do her works....

Grandma's MV: I know Ani is lying.... I don't know for what but anyways if any problem arisen means he want to come to me only right? I'll deal him that time....

I slowly went to my room and sat on my bed thinking about Nithya's problems..... Thinking about that deeply I slowly drifted into a deep sleep..... After some time, someone called my name hardly and started to tap my shoulder which disturbs me from my deep sleep..... I slowly opened my eyes and looked at that person who woke me up.... It was none other than my mom.... I just smiled at her and closed my eyes again.....

Ani.... Wake up.... Don't sleep again...., my mom yelled looking at me....

Why are you tensed? Just be calm ma....., I said while hugging my pillow and buried my face in it.....

You said that you're going out right? Then why are you sleeping here?....., she asked my flipping my hair....

I'm feeling very tired ma.... Will wake up later...., I said while closing my eyes more tighter....

Ani.... It's already 7:30 da.... At least, take your dinner and then come and sleep till you wish....., my mom said while tapping on my chest....

What?? 7:30 ah???, I yelled while opening my eyes and looked at my mom.....

Hmm.... Wake up... Wake up...., she said and got up from the bed.....

Mom... Why did you wake me up this earlier?? I wanna sleep more.... Wake me up tomorrow morning...., I said and again closed my eyes and drifted into a sleep....

Ani.... Don't play.... Come on wake up...., she said while standing near the room door.....

I didn't responded anything as I just turned to the other side and continued my sleep.....

This boy will never change...., my mom mumbled and went out from my room....

I just smiled at her statement and opened my eyes..... I went and took a hot shower and then returned to my room.... I locked my room or else my mom will again come and compel me to take the dinner.... I called Iyappan and waited for him to attend the call.... I called him several times but no response from him.... I just sat on my bed and waited for him to call again.... After some time, my phone started to ring and it was from Iyappan... I attended the call....

How many times I called you?? Can't you attend it?? That much...., I yelled at him but was stopped at the middle by him...

All this because of your mom only da...., he said in a tired tone...

What are you blabbering?...., I asked in a confused tone of voice....

You didn't came to the office today and moreover for you I took half day leave..... Your mom just ordered me to do all the pending works today itself.... And I'm here still at the office alone doing all the pending works of yours and mine...., he said in a worried tone....

I laughed loudly hearing to that.... I know he was disappointed even though I was unable to control my laugh as I continued my laugh....

Stop it Ani.... I'm suffering here.... No one is here... I'm here all alone at this office doing the works which is not at all needed for this month..... I'm enough with this....., he said in a sad tone in which I can clearly understand his worries and disappointment towards me.....

Don't worry da.... I'll be there at 10 mins.... I'll help you out in those works..... Okay?...., I asked in a convincing tone....

It's okay da.... You take rest... I can take care of this works...., he also replied in a convincing tone....

Just cut the call.... I'll be there in few mins...., I said and hung up the call by myself itself before he could answer....

I quickly went and changed myself into a formal attire and went out of my room.... I went to the main hall where all of them just sitting and doing their works..... My mom looked at me with her questioning eyes...

I'm going to the office and I'll returning only in the morning...., I said looking at my mom.....

Okay...., she just said and continued her works....

I just went to my car and started it.... I straightly drove my car to the office and went to the staff's section where I found Iyappan who was sitting all alone in his table with his eyes swallon and he was concentrating on the monitor without noticing my presence.... I felt disappointed and guilty for making him in this situation.... I went to his table and dragged one chair from another table and just sat beside him.... He just smiled looking at me and again started to look at the monitor.... I quickly minimize the program which he was looking at and made him to look at me.....

Why Ani?...., he asked while looking at me.....

Why can't you call me?? You can just inform me right that my mom has given you this much work to do.... If you told me means I can just help you out or can just request mom to reduce your work right?...., I asked while looking at the bunch of papers which he just prepared now....

That's okay Ani.... You was already depressed because of Nithya and if I said this to you means then you'll just take these works to your side and you'll make yourself more stressed... I can handle all these works.... You just go to home...., he said in a normal tone and started to arrange that bunch of papers in a file....

I just got those papers from him and kept that aside on the table and then I drag him out from that section.....

Ani.... What are you doing??...., he shouted at me while trying to escape from me....

Just be silent and come with me...., I shouted against him and then dragged him out from that office.....

I just brought him to his car and made him to sit inside that car.....

Just go to your home and sleep for a while.... Don't stress yourself more....., I said to him and closed his car door.....

He opened the car door and followed me again..... I turned back and gave him a stern glare....

But Ani.... I have to finish the pending works....., he said in a stressed tone.....

I'll take care of it...., I simply said while again dragging him to his car....

But there are plenty works to do..... You can't Ani...., he said while looking at me with his pleading eyes....

I can.... And I'll do this before you reach the office tomorrow....., I said and opened his car door.... Go inside now...., I added....

Okay Ani.... You itself do everything.... At least, I'll stay here...., he said while standing there without going inside the car.....

Hey idiot.... Your parents will be waiting for you there.... Go now or else I'll call mom and will ask her about these works.... Then, she'll never give you any works.... Is that okay for you?...., I asked while raising my one eye brow and smiling at him....

You're planning to make me out from this office ah?? I'll go now but please don't stress yourself about these works da....., he said and get inside his car....

He just looked at me with his pleading eyes and signaled me like he didn't want to go but I just took my phone from my pocket as he quickly started the car and went away from the office....

Drive safely da...., I yelled from behind and hoping that he heard it....

I went inside the office and sat at Iyappan's office table..... First I went through which and all files he worked already.... Looking those files, I was shocked as Iyappan was working more than 6 projects per day.... 1 project for one day is the schedule for every staffs.....

For what he is doing this much works per day? He'll never do this much work for a single promotion.... Then for what??....., I mumbled myself while thinking deeply about that....

I remember his each and every line which he spoke while he called me....

Stop it Ani.... I'm suffering here.... No one is here... I'm here all alone at this office doing the works which is not at all needed for this month..... I'm enough with this.....

All this because of your mom only da....

I was confused so much.... Is my Mom showing all her worries and anger about me on Iyappan?? I'm so confused now.... Can I ask this to my mom or Iyappan? First, let me finish this works..... I opened all the files at his system and was doing all the pending works of him first..... I finished all his works at 4am and then I took a small break and then I again started the pending works of mine.... I was going through all my pending works and was about to finish it that's when I came to know it's already morning..... Every staffs started to enter into the section and was just looking at me working while sitting over there at Iyappan's table.... All started their rubbish talks about me as I was just going through..... That time, Iyappan hurried towards the staff section and came to his table by running very faster even he can race with a horse that much faster he was.....

Ani... Get up... I can finish the pending works...., he said while tapping at my shoulder....

I just took some files and gave that to Iyappan as he just got the files from me.....

Go and submit this to your mam...., I said while typing another program on the computer quickly....

Ani.... I can submit this later.... You just get up and go to your home.. It's already 9 da....., he said while placing those files on the table again....

That time, my mom entered into the office and saw all the staffs standing over there.....

What happened?? Why all the staffs standing are standing here, Roshan??, my mom asked the senior staff Roshan who was standing there.....

Then, a gang of staffs which were around me just moved to a side making me visible to my mom.....

Anirudh.... What are you doing here in this staffs section??, she asked while I just was collecting the papers from printer.... Can't you hear me Ani?...., my mom added....

Madam.... I want to talk with you something officially..... Can I come to your room??, I asked while looking at my mom.....

My mom looked at me like something as I never talked to her like this....... She just made her face as a stern one while nodding her head and just left the place.....

Hey Ani.... Why are you talking like this?? What happened to you??...., Iyappan asked while helping me to file all those papers which I just took out from the printer......

Yesterday only I came to know everything.... Just be quiet..., I said and collected those files from him.....

Then, I just took each and every files from the table and went to my mom's room....

Excuse me, Mam...., I asked while slightly opening my mom's room.... .

Yes..., she said while looking at me directly....

I entered inside the room and placed all the files at her table and glanced at her.... She looked at me and then looked at those files....

The files which you asked Iyappan to submit today....., I said and was about to left the room....

Ani..... Come and sit here first...., my mom said in an irritated tone....

I went and sat on the chair which was placed opposite to my mom's chair..... She looked at the files confusedly as there were more than 20 files in front of her.....

What is this Ani?...., my mom asked while tracing those files.....

The projects which you asked Iyappan to submit today morning......, I said while placing my hands on the table....

For what you brought this to me?? And why did you worked these projects instead of him?...., she asked while looking at me....

Because.... These projects were alloted for me but you just transfered these projects to Iyappan.... For what mom?? And moreover I want to clear one thing with you.... Can you call Roshan here for a while?...., I asked so softly.....

Sure...., she said and called Roshan inside her room....

Roshan came inside and greeted my mom and gave me a warm smile.....

Please sit down, Roshan..... We have to discuss many things....., I said while looking at him and then my mom with a smile.....

He looked at my mom as my mom signaled him to sit..... He came and sat beside me and smiled at me again....

So, I'll just start with some normal questions....., I said while gifting them an assuring smile....

Roshan looked at my mom and then at me as he didn't got what I meant.... He looked at me with his questioning eyes.....

So, According to the register.... How many hours our staffs are working here every day?..., I asked while taking a blank paper from the table.....

According to the register.... 12 hours sir that is from 9 am to 9pm...., he said while looking at me and then my mom....

Just call me Ani.... And how many days they are working here per month?...., I asked while writing the things on that paper....

That's.... How can I? It'll varies sir... I mean Ani...., he said while looking at me but his eyes were on the paper.....

Okay.... Okay.... Fine! Can you submit me the register of working days now?....., I asked while looking at him.....

Sure.... Within 30 mins I can...., he said with an assuring smile....

Great! So, How many workers are here??, I asked while he was looking at my mom and was communicating something.....

That's..... Workers list.... I don't know exactly sir.... I'm sorry... Ani....., he was struggling more with his words....

What's this Roshan?? You're a Senior officer but didn't know any basic things about this office ah?...., I asked while tracing him from top to bottom.....

That's Ani....., he dragged for a while in which I can notice his nervousness....

Leave that... And how many branches are here for us in this city I meant Chennai...., before I finished my side he answered...

3 branches Ani...., he said quickly....

Oh! And how many branches around Tamil Nadu...., I asked while placing the pen on my cheek...

37 branches Ani......, he said while looking at my mom and then smiled at me....

Fine! What about our international traders? Is that confirmed?....., I asked while looking at him.....

Ani.... The confirmation meeting will be at the next week and you're the presentator..... Did you forgot that?, he asked with a smirk on his face.....

Mr.Roshan...... So, you remember about that meeting ah?? Then, where is the presentation work??....., I asked with a wide smile as his face reaction changed totally.....

Sorry Ani.... I forgot about it.... I'll submit that before this evening...., he said in a low tone....

Okay.... I call you to ask one thing mainly.... What is the schedule alloted for each staff in this office??, I asked to him while looking at my mom....

For each staff one different project.... Like giving them a topic and they'll create something creativily with that... That too are given for them just to maintain them in active... So that when a major project arrives they can do that easily....., he said in a normal tone....

Oh! You're teaching me about this work ah?? I asked for one day how many projects are alloted for them?...., I asked in a stern voice while looking at him....

For one day.... One project for each staff...., he said normally and looked at me with a smile.....

Oh! Okay Roshan.... You may leave now.... Thank you...., I said as he quickly got up from his chair.....

Thank you Ani.... Thank you mam.... Can I?..., he asked while looking at my mom....

Sure.... You can leave now....., I said while extending my hands towards the door....

He just left the room and I turned towards my mom who was looking at me curiously to know what I'm gonna tell her.....

So, Mom.... What and all he said were totally lies and wrongs..... Am I right??...., I asked my mom while straightly looking at her.....

She looked at me with her widened eyes and was totally shocked by my question.....

I know everything here mom.... Nothing is there apart from my eyes.... Maybe I'm not attending the office regularly but I know everything about this office.... So, don't hide it from me...., I said with my wet eyes as my mom looks at me with a shocked face....

For my sake, why are you torturing these many peoples?? If you have told me means I'll be here and will be doing all my works.... For that you'll torture all these staffs ah??...., I asked while getting up from my chair and walked towards the window....

The normal working hours mentioned in the register is 12 hours but you're giving them more works and also they're staying here more than 12 hours.... For what???, I asked while looking at my mom....

Why are you torturing Iyappan, mom?? Did he did any sin to you?? You have any worries or anger on me means just solve that with me.... But you're just showing all that on Iyappan by giving him more works than normal.... That idiot also not even told me anything about this.... Why are you doing this to me mom?? What you want now? I want to handle this company in my own hands..... I want to marry Swetha.... That's it right?? I'll do it..... I'll definitely do it for those staff's sake.... So that they can peacefully work right? They won't suffer...., I almost yelled which made my mom to got up from that chair....

Tears welled up in my eyes as well as in my mom's eyes.... I know I behaved very rudely to my mom.... Every staffs starred at this room as it made me to feel so guilty about what I did.... I went outside and went towards that staffs......

I'm sure that works are allotted for you guys.... Am I right??...., I asked while looking at them with a smile.....

All of them nodded their heads smilingly......

Then just sit down and carry on your works....., I yelled at them and returned to my mom's room....

I saw my mom who was crying sitting over there..... I went near her and as soon I went near her she got up from the chair and moved to the other side.... I closed my eyes in disappointment and flipped my hair thinking about what to do next..... I went to my mom and wrapped my hands around her shoulder from behind.... She just wiped her tears and looked at the portrait which was hanging over there.....

Is that portrait is that much beautiful than your son??....., I asked while showing her my sad face......

She smiled and just hugged me quickly..... I too hugged her and smiled in relief.... She broke the hug and looked at me with her wet eyes as I quickly wiped the tears which was spreaded over her eyes....

I never thought the things like you said.... Maybe those things are true.... I'll give them more works and will make them to spend more hours than the ordinary timings.... That's real but not to torture them and that's not like revenging you for your mistakes..... Just to make this company into a good position.... After your father, I'm struggling here and you too know about that so I'm just giving them more works to improve their skills and not to torture Ani...., she said which made me to tear a little....

And Iyappan.... I'm giving him more works when you make any mistake because he is like my second son.... Don't you think that I have some rights to give him more works when I feel bad.... And also that will definitely help him when I will give him the promotion to a senior position... And our family problems.... You can make this company as yours when you want to do until that I'll not complain you about this company..... And also about your marriage..... That's your life da.... I know you're in love with that girl.... What's her name? Hmm.... Nithya.... So, you can decide whom you want to marry and I'll not be against love and all.... Because I'm not that much older...... I'll never compel you to marry Swetha.... You decide and tell me and I'll arrange for your marriage after your sister's marriage.... Okay?....., she asked while looking at me with a wide smile.....

I quickly hugged her and started to tear as I felt guilty for yelling at my mom like that..... She just consoled me by saying something even though I felt bad....

I'm sorry ma..... I was not supposed to yell at you like that and more over how can I talk against my mom when my mom is everything for me??? I'm extremely sorry ma.... I'll never repeat this...., I said while showering all my tears on her shoulder.....

Ani.... Don't be sorry and all.... I thought you as a small baby but you have already grown up to think like this and all right? And if a child made mistake or thought something wrongly means it's a mother's duty to make him understand about the right side.... So, it was my pleasure and I'm happy that you ask about this and I make you understand......, she said while broking the hug.....

So, Am I not your baby anymore??....., I asked while making a baby face.....

Oh! You're always my small baby and this will never change....., she said while dragging me for another hug.....

I hugged her and laughed a little as my mom too laughed at me.....

Okay mom.... I'm leaving now with Iyappan...., I said while broking the hug and looked at her face....

Okay baby.... And Iyappan asked me for three days leave.... Tell him that I gave him three months leave.... Let him enjoy for sometime...., my mom said while taking her seat and arranging that files correctly.....

Okay mom...., I said and left her room....

I straightly went to Iyappan with a smiling face.... I dragged him out and went to my car and started it....

Come to Marine Coffee shop by your car..... I'll waiting there...., I said and left the place....

Author's P.O.V:

Anirudh left the place and went to Marine coffee shop and waited for Iyappan and Asha there as he called Asha and asked her to come there with Nithya.... After some time, Iyappan came there and noticed Anirudh who was standing near the book worm shop.... He went near him and tapped his shoulder......

Ani.... For what you called here?? If your mom came to know about this means my job matter will come to an end...., Iyappan said without leaving a gap for Anirudh to speak.....

Iyap.... Mom only gave you three months leave...., Anirudh said and again turned to the coffee shop looking for Nithya.....

What?? Really?...., Iyappan asked while turning Anirudh towards him....

Yeah man.... Just Enjoy yourself these three months...., I said with a wide smile as he too smiled very widely after hearing that.... But enjoy after making Nithya as my friend.... Okay??...., I asked as his smiley face suddenly turns into an angry face...

I smiled and turned back to the coffee shop..... There I saw Nithya who came and sat at one table.... I turned to Iyappan and smiled as he sighed seeing me like that..... I rolled my eyes and again looked at Nithya..... She was holding some book that is Remember Me??.... I smiled and went inside the book worm shop and took one copy of that same book which Nithya was holding and then billed it... I told that counter boy my plan and asked him to do like that day on which I met Nithya for the first time..... Gathering all my courage, I went near Nithya with a smile and stood in front of her..... I was about to grab the book from her.... She looked at me and smiled a little which made me to smile.... I was about to talk....

One coffee......, she said and again smiled at me and then continued reading that book....

I was mesmerized by her smile as I just stood there without moving an inch.... She again looked at me with her questioning face....

Okay mam...., I said and moved away from her....

I was smiling myself and was struggling with each and every steps of mine..... Iyappan and Asha was looking at me with their shocked faces but I just went there and leaned against a wall and started to smile myself again.....

I don't think so she can remember you guys...., Asha said while looking at Anirudh in a low tone....

Why are you smiling in this situation Ani??...., Iyappan asked while holding Anirudh's collar......

She smiled at me da...., Anirudh said while blushing himself looking down at the floor.....

For just a smile itself you're like this means when will you friend up with her??...., Asha asked with her shocked face....

And more over.... She smiled at you thinking that you're a waiter and that doesn't means that you're looking good...., Iyappan said while looking another side....

Anirudh gave a deadly glare to Iyappan and again turned to Nithya and started to admire her..... He was like that until Nithya left the place..... After Nithya left that place, Anirudh was standing there while smiling himself and thinking about something seriously..... Iyappan sat at one bench leaving Anirudh like that itself.... After some hours, Iyappan glanced at his watch and his expression changed as it was 5:30 p.m.... Iyappan went and informed Anirudh about this but he was still like that....

For sure, Nithya will not be yours...., Iyappan said and again sat at that bench....

Why da???...., Anirudh asked in a low tone of his voice.....

Then, you're over acting too much and you're not at all thinking about how you gonna impress her.... Really I'm asking this question seriously, Do you love Nithya really??....., Iyappan asked while looking at him....

I'm living here in this world only for two reasons..... Firstly for my family and secondly for her only...., Anirudh said in a stern voice in which Iyappan can understand it's seriousness.....

Okay.... Then, how you're gonna be her friend??...., Iyappan asked while getting up from the bench and went towards Anirudh....

I told you guys 3 days right?? Now, 2 days are there for me to make her as mine....., Anirudh said while looking somewhere....

Only 2 days Ani.... How??...., Iyappan asked while making Anirudh look at him....

48 hours are there for me.... I can...., Anirudh said while looking at him....

Then, the whole day left like that itself..... Iyappan and Anirudh went to their respective houses and drifted to a sleep.....
