The days were going around as usual and Aryan was quite busy with additional responsibility of NMR project and their team was given the responsibility of documenting about wellington railway station . It was scheduled that they will be travelling in the ooty railways to experience the trail and to get an idea of what to do with the existing features of the track . Aryan  was talking with Ayaan still he  gets posessive at times by the importance sitara gives as he yearns for her undivided attention . 

It was saturday night and Vikranth was discharged from the hospital that day . Charu was talking with him over chat and calls as she was forbidden from going out as she didnt have any valid reasons to go out . Charu was waiting near the playground and saw a car approaching the adjacent block of girl's hostel which is present boy's hostel where 1st year boys are accomodated.Vikranth opened the door and was carried in by two of his friends . As he have hurt his legs and it takes a month time to recover he was shifted to the 1st year boy's hostel temporarily . 

Charu stood and looked at him while Vikranth smiled and winked at her by moving in with support of his friend . Charu smiled and sat at the playground waiting for Sitara while she was sitting with Ayaan in the studio . Charu looked here and there and spotted Aryan under the tree seater and the posture he was sitting wasn't giving good vibes for Charu .

Only after then Charu noticed the date and she facepalmed herself as the next day was 4th death anniversary of his parents . During these times Aryan generally prefers to be alone as he is afraid of hurting the other person who tries to comfort him . Arjun and Charu generally don't try to comfort him as he don;t feel it as a sense of comfort instead he feels it as sympathy which he hates to the core . 

Charu thought of warning about this to Sitara and before that she saw Sitara approaching Aryan. 

Aryan was sitting beneath the tree and was waiting for Sitara .... yes he was waiting for her. every year the pain and the void he experiences is impeccable and can't be explained in words. being a pampered kid he was completely dependent on his mom and dad for every single thing and his relationship with Arjun has always had immense respect and a sense of fear which made him always stand a little away from Aryan. He could still not accept the fact that his mom and dad aren't there with him to share his feelings to caress his hair and to feed his favourite food before he asks for it . 

He just wished for someone to hug and comfort him but he couldn't ask for it with his brother or his sister . He somehow felt their care as sympathy and with Arjun Aryan felt his lose is equivalent and thought of acting fine before Arjun to not make him breakdown . The only person he could confide in is now Sitara. Right now the one thing he needed was her embrace and her warmth to calm him down  . He called Sitara near the tree shade and was waiting for her but she never turned up for past 1 hour which was building up frustration in him . 

Sitara was working with Ayaan on his pending works and she never realised it was 1 hour since Aryan called her . Ayaan nudged her looking at the time and said " hey dora anna 1 hour munnaadi kooptaanga unna innum pola nee kelambu "

Sitaara looked at Ayaan and said " deii iru iru summa normallaa pesa koopdra maari dhaa kooptrupaaru indha grid mattum paint pantu poirure "

Ayaan plucked the brush from her and said " avar summa kooptaaranu namaku theriyaadhu, edhuva irundhaalum poi kelu summa kooptaarna ipdinu soltu vandhu work pannu po "

Sitaara nodded her head in realisation and rushed down to the tree while Aryan was sitting there in peak of frustration . Sitara came near him with a smile and Aryan looked at her with clear frustration yet he composed himself and asked " ennachu thara en ivlo late ?"

Sitara sat near him and said " Adhu ayaan ku pending works neraya irukula Arya adha mudika help pantrundhen paavamla thaniya epdi pannuvaan "

Aryan's anger was shooting up by her careless answer and asked " enta sollirkalaame sitara nee rombba bussyaa irukanu i wouldve not disturbed you la "

Sitara sensed the difference in his tone and his bloodshot eyes was making her sense that she did something wrong . Sitara held his hands and asked " Aryan... edhum mukkiyamaana vishayama ? naa .... summa eppovum pola dhaa koopdreenganu ... "

Aryan released her hands from his and said " cha cha nee romba busyaa irundhurupa sitara . naa dhaa vettiya summa disturb panten unna .... kelambu i will manage "

Sitara looked at him with tensed look and she cursed herself mentally to have not paid attention to his voice while he called her . That's when she realised what day it was and mentally cursed herself to have neglected his call . He have called her for a comfort and she have completely neglected his call while he needed her the most . Aryan was sitting there with tightly closed fist and closed eyes which made her look at him with tension and she held his shoulder with hesitation . 

Sitara " I... I .... am sorry Ar.... " the next moment all she remembered was she was inside his embrace . The hug was not something that she is used to .... he have hugged her with love , with fond , to feel her warmth , as a reflex of her cuteness but all of them have always been gentle and soothing but this hug was too rash that she found it harsh . He hugged her more tighter and the hug was turning into a bone crushing one . Sitara looked around to check whether anyone is noticing her and Aryan but as the tree seater is a bit secluded and it was drizzling a bit noone was found to be wandering out . Sitara caressed his hair and Aryan was sitting with her in his lap and was nuzzling into her shoulder with silent muffles and silent tears were wetting her shoulder.

She pulled him even more closer as if that was possible and within 2 minutes Aryan left her sensing the surrounding and looked down sitting a little away from her . Sitara touched his shoulder and Aryan held her hands and sat there silently while Sitara caressed his hair . Aryan held her hand and took it away from his shoulder and hair. He looked at her and said " kelambu vera yaarum paathuraama . you do have works "

Sitara looked at him with guilty eyes and said " I am so sorry Aryan naa sath.... "

Aryan smiled and ruffled her hair saying " hey loosu edhuku sorry kekura ? i can't expect you to be always beside me and your undivided attention on me . vidu you do have works po i will manage . "

Still Sitara felt a bit guilty and left the place by looking back at him again and again while Aryan though he masked up  his feelings with a smile and comforted her by saying that he wasn't mad at her he was mad at her on not getting the attention he seeked while he needed the most . He still needs the comfort of her embrace but the situation and circumstance is making it impossible making his frustration hike a little more . 

Sitara left the place and Aryan started moving towards his hostel with a heavy heart . Vikranth was made to stay in the first year boys hostel and another friend of him was made to stay along with him for help . Charu was texting him " saapteengala ?"

Vikranth " pudikala saapdala "

Charu " en innaiku friedrice dhaana saapda vendi dhaana ?"

Vikranth " indha friedrice saapdradhuku oats kooda saaptruve its so dry . vidu d oru vela dhaana bread vachu adjust pannikure "

Charu went silent after that and after 15 minutes his friend came into the room with a small hotpack . Vikranth looked at the hotpack and looked back at his friend confusingly while the friend smiled and said " thangachi dhaanda kuduthu vittuchu "

Vikranth scrunched his brows and opened it to find hot masala oats staring at him inside the box . Vikranth smiled at it and the next moment he got video call from Charu . Vikranth picked it and looked at her while Charu continued " sooda inga inductionla onnu maggi seiya mudiyum illena idhaan seiya mudiyum . maggi nalladhilla adhunaala masala oats dhaa olunga saapdunga pirichu soodaarira podhu "

Vikranth nodded his head and unknowingly his eyes started to tear . Charu was looking at him through the video and was looking at him fondfully while he was eating . Those eyes which look at him with love while he was eating is something he have never experienced in his lifetime . His father will always be busy with his buisness schedules and most of the time Vikranth would be left out to eat alone . He had top renowned chefs to cook anything he wished to have in his home anytime but none of those food had such a strong impact in his heart like a simple instant masala oats he was having now . 

Charu was talking to him simultanously making him engaged while doing her work while he was looking at charu without blinking his eyes and Charu just thennoticed him looking at her intensely without blinking even after he completed eating . 

Charu raised her brows and asked " ennaachu vikki ?"

Vikranth shook his head sideways and said " first time .... "

Charu looked at him confused and asked " masala oats saapdradhu first timeaah ?"

Vikranth smiled and said " eii mental ... manasaara saapdradhu first time .... nenachadhu saaptruken aana saapdrenaanu oruthar gavanikka saapdradhu idhaan first time " 

Charu felt very bad and she by that moment wished to pull him into her embrace and ruffle his hair saying she would make sure that he would experience the love he gets every single day . but the distance and circumstance stood as a great barrier and Vikranth uttered " I love you priya .... " 

Charu looked at him with a shy smile and said " Love you too . romba feel pannaadheenga enaku panna therunja orey samayal indha instant oats dhaan. dappa bathram engamma naa varalanaalum feel panna maataanga dabba veetuku thirumbi varalana olunjen  "

Vikranth chuckled and said " mental .. seekram poi thoongu indha thagaradabbaku ivlo scene vera " 

Charu glared at him and said " Good night " with a pout and Vikranth air kissed her profile picture  after she cut the call and said " my angel " . 

Here Sitara was painting something with help of her study lamp and once she was done she looked at it with a proud smile and neatly rolled it before covering it with a gift wrapper . she looked at it and mumbled " I guess you would love it . " 

Aryan was lying in his cot with impeccable pain and tears rolling down his eyes while his lips were continuously murmering " en ma enna vittu pona "
