Jagadish was looking at Maithrayie without blinking his eyes and she was moving across his vision here and there by holding Sitara's hand and even Sitara didnt feel alienated by the way she and her family treated her as if she was one among their family. Jagadish still remembered how Maithrayie helped him in cooling Sitara . Sitara was completely upset when she left with Ayaan and Jagadish and Jagadish had no idea on how to handle her . He received a message from Maithrayie asking where did Ayaan and Jagadish reach while Jagadish just said Sitara is a bit upset and would be joining them and he isn't finding a way to cool her down. Maithrayie didn't ask for any reason of her upset and right from the moment they reached the event she welcomed sitara with a warm hug and after giving Jagadish and Ayaan a place to sit she was involving Sitara in every fun activity of marriage which made her get into her humourous side again . 

They enjoyed the baduga marriage rituals which were different and interesting to see and Though Jagadish wished to speak to Maithrayie she was all occupied by the relatives and her cousins and Sitara also was given her undivided attention which made it difficult for jagadish to speak out . Ayaan ,Sitara and Jagadish went to have their lunch and even Ayaan was a bit relaxed than he was earlier that morning and 

Jagadish was admiring Maithrayie and Maithrayie raised one of her eyebrows towards Jagadish sensing him seeing her while Jagadish smiled and signed her to come near him . Maithrayie excused herself from her cousins and came near jagadish as Ayaan and Sitara was all set to leave the venue after they ate and Jagadish took her aside and smiled at her . Maithrayie smiled and asked " naanum appolendhu paathutruke enna ennaye paathutruka ?"

Jagadish " azhaga iruka mithra "

Maithrayie smiled and said " thanks boss . azhaga irukenu mattum dhaa paathutrundhiya ?"

Jagadish smiled and shook his head in denial and said "differenta therunja . Sitara va nee paathadhu kooda illa aana the way you made her smile. romba yoschutrundhe epdi da avala normal aaka porennu ..... so....thanks "

Maithrayie crossed her along her hips and asked " un friend Sitara idhu podhaadha ava upsetaa irukela naa paathukuradhuku . adhu mattumillaama she is very sweet . un thanksa neeye vachuko"

Jagadish rubbed his temple with his thumb and asked " seri madam thankslaam sollala time aachu kelambure so until next time "

He extended his hands to which Maithrayie held his hands and shook it . Jagadish turned his head around to find Ayaan standing with Sitara by supporting his hand over Sitara's shoulder which made Jagadish rub his hand on his nape . 

Ayaan " chithu nee edhum namma morattu single jagadisha paathiya ma ?"

Sitara " illaye da andha vekkangetta payala paakala aana vekkathin definitionaa oruthan nikkuraan namma munnaadi "

Jagadish held both of them by their neck hooking up his hands and said " just shut up and leave "to which both Ayaan and Sitara giggled and walked with him . Jagadish turned once to get a glance of Maithrayie and she was already looking at him . Both smiled and walked in their respective paths .

The days went as usual and Sitara felt Aryan to be completely silent . Though she was not happy with hiding their relationship and getting to hear to a lot of unwanted comments questioning her character  she missed him a lot and Ayaan was also equally not letting her have alone time which was noticed by Aryan but he remained silent to have his plan executed . 

After 3 long tiring days Charu was sitting along with Sitara in their room and Sitara was sitting there caressing the selfie which she and Aryan took together during one of their beautiful moments . One month ago Sitara was texting Aryan and he asked " oye walking permission kuduthurukaangalla 6 to 7 naalaiku variya ?"

Sitara " naalaam vara maaten pa evan 6 kulaam endhiripaan "

Aryan " somberi mostly yaarum vara maataanga andha timela romba superaana unexplored placeslaam iruku vaa kaatren "

Sitara " Aryaneyyy ... "

Aryan " chup no more arguements naalaiku kelambi vaa . marakaama shoes potuko un flipflopsoda vandhu seraadha "

Sitara sent a pouting face sticker and said " ok "

The next day she woke up by 5:45 Am and went out to find the sun nowhere near . Sitara mumbled to herself " naai kooda thoongitruka timela enna elumbi vara solraare ipdi kulurudhu sheii "

She got up to the entrance and found Aryan already waiting outside the gate . She signed the register and got out with him and only by then sunrays were peeping out indicating the arrival of a new day . 

Aryan " enma moonja ipdi vachuruka "

Sitara " pinna ivlo kulurula kaalangaathaala vidiyiradhuku munaadi walking vaa na . naalaam en veetla irundha vara sunrisenu onnaye paathadhilla "

Aryan smiled and dashed her forehead with his forefinger and middle finger saying " somberi vaa you will enjoy "

He took her in a different route where roads weren't laid and soon she found only estates all around . 

Sitara " Arya enga dhaa porom idhuku mela vazhiye illa "

Aryan held her hand and made her climb the small cliff which was adorned by tea plantation and she was astounded by the view . A small spring was running down the cliff and everything from up seemed to be so little and the way sun rays were spreading on the grass which reflected as diamonds with the moisture due in it made it picture perfect . Aryan made her sit in the edge of the cliff and hugged her from behind passing on his warmth and she covered herself with his leather jacket .

Aryan " indha place namma collegelendhu just 2 km dhaa aana yaarukum theriyaadhu . neraya per inga varavum maataanga sunrises romba azhaga irukum "

Sitara " Romba azhaga iruku indha edam , aama Innaiku enna dhideernu inga kooptu vandurukeenga ?"

Aryan looked at her with smile and said " enaku indha maari special spots neraya iruku ovvoru spotukum ovvoru special occasionla unna kooptutu ponumnu aasa . innaiyoda naama love confess panni 50 days aagudhu adhaan kooptu vandhe "

Sitara smiled at him while he reflected the same, Sitara wanted the memory to be intact and proposed an idea of clicking a pic of this moment and by that time a butterfly came and sat on her right cheek .Sitara was getting hyperactive while Aryan silenced her and made her calm while she said in a low voice " Koosudhu arya"

Aryan took his mobile slowly and opened his camera while Sitara was looking into his intent eyes . Aryan slowly bumped his nose with her and Sitara closed her eyes shyly looking down and with the butterfly in her right cheek the picture was perfect to be framed . 

Sitara was caressing the picture with a smile and remembered such moments in which he made her feel that she was the most luckiest in the world. Yes he was flawed but his love towards her was flawless and most beautiful feel she have ever experienced in her lifetime . She opened the message which was never read for past 3 days and mumbled miss you arya and slowly drifted to sleep to escape from the reality of missing feel while Charu was texting with Vikranth for the right time to execute the plan . 

Vikranth " Ava thoongitaala ?"

Charu " mm ipo dhaa thoongina . "

Vikranth " ok perfect correcta 11:15ku hostel current cut aagum naa vandhu kadhava thattuve open pannu doora . ava  thoonguna dhaa mayakamarundhe venaamnu sonniye so naama avala safeaa Aryanoda bikela ukaara vachurlaam aprom un annan paadu ava paadu "

Charu smiled and asked " aama avanukum ungalukum dhaa aagadhe enna dhideernu helplaam panreenga ?"

Vikranth smiled at the memory of how Aryan approached him for a talk yesterday . Vikranth was walking back to his studio and Aryan blocked his way . Vikranth scrunched his eyebrows and found Aryan struggling  to ask something . He sent his friends back to studio and went ahead towards a tree seating while Aryan followed him silently . 

Aryan was fidgetting his fingers and Vikranth smiled waiting for him to start . After a long 5 minutes he started " enaku oru help venum "

Vikranth was surprised and asked " enna help ? academicallaava illa personallaava ?"

Aryan hesitated a minute and said " Enaku Sitarava naalaiku night oru 11:30 pola hostellendhu ava  thoongitrukela veliya kooptu varanum "

Vikranth looked at him up and down and asked " edhukunulaam keka maaten but thoongitrukela edam maathuna muluchuka maatala ?"

Aryan " Illa adhu .... ava thoongita edhayume realise panna maata ... naane pannirpen aana enga  enga cctv irukunu therla ungaluku epdiyum theriyum so.... "

Vikranth smiled and said " seri ok po "

Aryan looked at Vikranth and asked " kandipa pana mudiyuma ? illana prechana illa "

Vikranth smiled at him and said " nee othukitaalum illenalum you are my family so unaku panna mudiyaadha maari edhume enta illa . kavalapadaama po "

Aryan smiled and left the place while charu asked with shock " Aryan ivlo politeaa pleaselaam potu pesnaana ? adhum unga kitta ? ebbaaa what a change . "

Vikranth smiled and said " naanum avanta iruka changes note pannen paapom "

Charu " appo neengalum avanum close aayruveengala seekram ?"

Vikranth chuckled and said " sila relationships enna panaalum oru step thalli dhaa nikkura maari irukum enakum avanukum eppovum apdi dhaa irukum. maybe maaralaam maaraamalum pogalaam . un annan edho theva iruka poi pesitu poirukaan illana avanaachu pesradhaachu "

Charu got a little intruiged by this and said " en annana kora solra velalaam venaam time aachu vandhu velaya mudika paarunga "

Vikranth smiled and thought " indha ponnungalukulaam annanungala sonna engendhu dhaa avlo kovam varudho "

He wore a hoodie and just by 11:15 the power went off. He climbed over the fence and reached the room of Sitara and Charu and knocked it silently . Charu opened the door with a candle in her hand. Vikranth was startled by the glowing form of Charu in candle light and was about to take a step towards her while charu made him move back by placing her index finger in his chest and signed towards sitara . Vikranth left a sigh and slowly picked Sitara in his hands . Sitara mumbled in her sleep "parandhu sellavaaa parandhu sellavaaa " in a cute tone which made Vikranth chuckle while Charu closed his mouth and came along with him with candle light . Aryan was standing on the other side of the fence and his bike was parked a little away on the road. Vikranth lifted Sitara above his head and passed her across the fence while Aryan caught her carefully . Sitara clutched Aryan's shirt in slumber and her lips curved into a smile as if she recognised his touch . 

Aryan gently kissed her forhead and held her closer to his chest walking towards his bike before mouthing a thanks to vikranth .Vikranth nodded his head and went to the adjacent boy's block while Aryan carried sitara and tied her with his back after placing her in his bike . She mumbled " miss you arya " in her sleep and he kissed her palms mouthing missed you toooo . and rode the bike towards a spot . 

Aryan reached the place in 15 minutes and it was exactly 11:55 pm .he carried Sitara in his hand and took her towards a rock and woke her up slowly patting her cheeks . Sitara opened her eyes and the moment she realised she was in embrace of Aryan in a different spot she thought it to be a dream and smiled at him . Sitara " mm kanavulalaam nalla vandhu siringa nerla kandukaadheenga "

Aryan smiled on how she thought this to be a dream and kissed her cheek hardly making her realise this to be reality and not dream . Sitara looked at Aryan with widened eyes and asked " A..A...A....Arya inga enna panreenga ? Ayyo naa epdi hostellendhu vandhe ? pochu pochu prechna aaga pogudhu "

Aryan closed her continuous rants with his hand and looked at his watch and mumbled " 3... 2.... 1.... Happy birthday kannamma "

Sitara smiled widely and only then she noticed  a firefly flying around Aryan's head. She slowly got out of his embrace and Aryan turned her around while she gasped finding them standing near an open lilly pond with so many fireflies flying around. The full moon and the pine forest which was found a little far away made it look etheral that she forgot to close her mouth . She jumped in the place and started running around while Aryan looked at her with a smile . Sitara squealed and came near Aryan saying " This is the besttttt birthday Aryaneyyy evlo azhaga iruku paaren "

She went and caressed a lilly in the pond and when Aryan offered to pluck it she refused and said " adhu kolathula irukela dhaa azhaga irukum venaam parikaadheenga "

Aryan smiled and brought  a small choco truffle cake he bought for her and she smiled at him while he made her look into his phone which displayed her father,mother and brother waving at her . Sitara jumped in excitement and said " appa amma , vinnuuuu "

All said happy birthday kutty in unison and sitara's mom asked " endi evlo periya vishayam enta ippo vara sollanumnu thonalela unaku ?"

Sitara was confused and asked " 18 vayasu mudunjadhulaam periya vishayama enna ? naa sollamaye dhaa unaku theriyume ma "

her brother slapped his forehead and turned to Aryan and said " mama unga olimayamaana edhirkaalam superaa theriyudhu "

Sitara said " eii edhuku enna kalaaikura wait wait wait .... mama na koopta ippo ?"

Sitara's father said " Aryan ellaam sollitaanda thangam . naanga eppovum loveku against kedayaadhu . actualla aarambathulaye engalta idha sonnadhu sandhosham dhaan .arjuntayum pesnom. paduchu mudichu settle aagunga mathadha paathukalaam . engaluku theriyumo theriyaadhonu ini bayapdaadha "

Sitara was looking at Aryan with shocked face while he placed the cake on his bike seat and said " ipdiye aaanu paathutrukaama cakeah vetna nallaarkum , pasikudhu "

Sitara chuckled on how he imitated how she says pasikudhu on emotional moments . She slapped his arm and cut the cake and fed him while he fed her back . After some family time through video call Sitara hung the call and looked at Aryan who pulled her into his embrace and kissed her forehead " enna madam romba paasama enna paakureenga "

Sitara slapped his chest and said " idhuku dhaa 3 naala enta pesalaya "

Aryan said " ouch " and caressed his chest saying " valikudhu ma " to which Sitara slapped her own forehead and caressed his chest saying "sorry valikudha ? " Aryan smiled and said " 3 naala pesaadhadhuku sorry . enga pesna unta olariruvenonu dhaa pesala . how was my surprise ?"

Sitara said " naa dhaa sonnene lifetime's best birthday . enaku idhu podhum enaku idhu podhum"

Aryan smiled and bumped his nose with hers and said " seri appo final surprise paakalaama?"

Sithara smiled wider and clapped her hands asking " innoru surpriseaa enga enga?"

Aryan gave his mobile which had his instagram opened . Sitara has seen his profile which was public but never had any photos unnecessarily ,he also posted only occasionally  and those moments he posted were most important moments of his life. She got his phone and opened her mouth wide opened in shock and her eyes widened in shock . He had posted the selfie which she was admiring before drifting off to sleep and captioned it . " happy birthday my lifeline . thank you for walking into my boring life to paint it with vibrance and joy . love you "

Sitara looked at him with glistened eyes and he mirrored the emotions in her and kissed her forehead saying " I am never afraid to say that you are MINE . sorry for all that you went through just because of me . Are you ready to  travel with this jerk pardoning my flaws ?"

Sitara smiled and said " moola adikadi backu vaangumnu therinju dhaana love pannen paravaalla adjust pannikure " and hug him by intertwining her hand around his neck to which he smiled and lifted her by hip and swirled her around earning her giggles and laughter . The love birds enjoyed their very own time with a satisfaction of officialising them putting end to any other problems temporarily .... but will this erase the heep of insecurities Sitara was piling up all these years ? lets see
