"We have landed in New Delhi. We wish you a safe and a pleasant stay in this city"

The air hostess was announcing over the mic. Three people, chasing behind truth, landed in Indira Gandhi International Airport. Rojun walked through the aero bridge and reached the conveyer belt to collect their luggage.

As the trio waited for the luggage to arrive, Roja asked anxiously,

"Namma nenachu vanthathu nadakuma. Dr. Gautham Namakku eppdi sir help pannuvaru. Avar than Antha Ashok kitta vilai poitare..."

Naveen : Neenga nambikkai ah vidathinga Roja madam. Kandippa nallathu nadakum.

Arjun, who was taking the suitcases off the conveyer belt and was loading it into the trolly, saw Naveen through the corner of his eye. He smiled at him

"Namma succeed aaga Intha nambikkai mattome pothum Naveen..."

Turning towards Roja, he reassured her -
"Enakku nambikkai irukku Roja. Ethavthu oru clue, ethavthu oru help Intha ooru la Namakku kedaikum."

The trio picked their luggage and then went out. Arjun booked a cab & within half an hour, they were at their hotel room in a 4 star hotel at Connaught place.

——————————————————

Elsewhere, Ashok was in a state of frenzy. Ever since he knew that Deepa had eavesdropped on one of his most secretive conversations, his worries had got the better of him.
As he recollected how Arjun thundered in front of him and gave him a nosecut, he became furious and banged his hand loudly on the table

John came running, hearing the bang.

"Sir..Enna sir ippdi panringa. Kai ellam sevanthu poirchu paarunga"

"Johnnn! Ippo athuva mukkiyam! Neram kaalam theriyama paasatha kotta solli kettena?!
En phone ah odane eduthutu va...!"

John obeyed. Couple of mins later, phone calls were flying to Dr. Gautham.

Over the phone ...

Ashok : Hello Dr. Gautham!

Gautham : Sollu Ashok!

Ashok : Namma rendu perum kootani nu Antha Arjun ku therinji pochu!

Gautham : Eppdi?! 😳

Ashok : Athellam Ippo mukkiyam illa Gautham. Arjun ku vishyam therinja naala avan innime Enna vena pannuvan. Avan adutha move Enna ney nammalala guess panna mudiyathu.

Gautham : Risk ellam ethuvum varathu nu nee sonna naala than ithukku Naa othukitten
Ippo avan kitta Namma ragasiyatha kaati kuduthuta. Ithu naala ennode license ko, illa medical council post ku ethavthu prachanai vantha, Naa unna summa vidave matten, Ashok!

Ashok : Kova padatha Gautham! Naa unna alert panna than phone pannen. Namma careful ah iruntha onnume aagathu..
Nee careful ah iru avlothan.

Saying this, Ashok quickly hung up, unable to hear any of Dr. Gautham's lashes.

New Delhi.
In Rojun's room.

Rojun had booked one room for themselves and a separate room right next to theirs for Naveen.

As soon as Rojun entered their room, Arjun quickly hugged Roja.

Roja : Sir! Enna sir panringa..vidunga

Arjun : En wife ah Naa kattipudikaren. Ithula Enna thappu irukku, Naa yarode permission ah kekkanum😌

Roja : Sir Enna sir, Neenga appo appo Namma situation, Namma prachanai ithellam sutthama maranthu poidringa. Eppdi sir, ungalala ippdi irukka mudiyuthu..??

Just as Arjun was about to answer her, pulling her into a tighter hug, the room bell rang.

"Shabaa..nee eppdi santhoshama irukken nu ketta la, athan etho oru karadi vanthurchu atha disturb panna...
Naa room service kittayum ethuvum kekkala..yaara irukkum?" 🤔

Arjun grumbled
Roja chuckled at his cute irritated face.

"Sir, poi yaru nu paarunga sir.."
"Poren! Poi thane aaganum!" 😏

Arjun half heartedly went and opened the door. There he found Naveen standing, flashing one of his silly smiles. Arjun glared at him.

"Enna venum, Naveen?"
"Sir, en room la towel illa, Inga irunthu extra towel iruntha eduthutu pogava...?"
"Mm..eduthuko..." 😒
"Thank you sir!"

Naveen took a towel and left. Arjun watched him go and heaved a sigh of relief. He immediately locked the door and was back to his beloved. Roja was watching his antics.

"Cha..vanthu disturb pannitan Antha Naveen!
Nee Enna kettutu iruntha..aahaan..Intha nilamai layum eppdi romance panringa nu thane...

Athellam appdithan Roja. Namma Life la ethavtvu kastam vantha atha samalikanum than. Aana athaye ella neramum yosichitu iruntha irukkara konja nanja nimmathi um poirum Roja. Appram prachanai ah samalika udambu alavu layum, manasu alavulayum thembu illama poirum...Appo appo Namma manasa lesa aakara vishyathayum Namma seiyanum. Appothan entha prachanai vanthalum atha positive outlook ode face panna mudiyum"

"Wow sir! Neenga doc mattom illa, periya philosopher nu enakku Ippo than theriyum sir..."

"Ivlo talented husband ah oru hug kooda panna vida mattinguriye" 😒

Arjun pouted cutely. Roja laughed and nodded her head blinking her eyes, signalling him to hug😌

Having received green signal, Arjun happily wrapped his arms around her waist and tried to near her. Unfortunately for him, the door bell rang again totally annoying Arjun.

"Inniki Naa romance panna mathri than."

Arjun grumbled, visibly angry this time. He controlled his emotions and went to open the door. He found the hotel staff boy. He looked innocently at a glaring Arjun. He clearly understood his wrong timing

"Si..sir! Mei luggage rakhkhar chala jaunga sir!"
(Si..sir! I'll keep the luggage and go sir!)

He mumbled feebly, kept their luggage and ran away in a jiffy.

"Avana solli kutham illa. Enakku Inniki neram sari illa...
Naa pesiye Time waste pannitu irukken...
Ithukku mela no talks, only 'work'..."

He winked at a blushing Roja and finally wrapped her in a tight bear hug. The sweet aroma of her rose perfume tickled his nose. Hardly had he relished that scent for a minute when the door bell rang for a third time.

That was the threshold limit of Arjun's patience. He marched furiously to the door and opened it to find Naveen standing there. Before the latter could even utter a word, Arjun closed his eyes and told him in one breath.

"Naveen, please poidu. Ethuva irunthalum naanga kulichu ready aagi veliya vantha appram nee sonna pothum. Ithukku mela bell adikatha"😩
Having said so, without waiting for Naveen's response, he quickly grabbed the DO NOT DISTURB tag, hung it on the handle, and slammed the door.

"Sir, Neenga oru doctor sir. Atha maranthutu public la ippdi kozhandai mathri irukkingale sir.." 😆

"Irukkatume Roja. Doctor thane. Saamiyar illaye. Namma room na Namakku privacy irukka vendiya edam..
Athukku kova padrathu thappe illa.
Roja! Ippdiye pesi pesi than Naa Romba Time waste panniten. 4th bell varathukulla namakkana private time ah Namma use pannipoma"

Following this, Rojun delved into some private time & spent intimate moments with each other

Couple of hours later, they joined Naveen at the hotel lobby to set out on their mission.

————————————————————

In Chennai. Rojun's house.

Kalpana was praying to God.
"Muruga, en paiyan um marumagal Um oru mukkiyamana vishyathukaga Delhi poi irukkanga. Avanga pona vela nalla padiya mudiyanum..
En paiyan ah Naa marubidiyum eppo Antha vela coat la paaka poren nu irukku Muruga"

The sound of Kalpana ringing the bell brought paati out of her room.

"Marumagale, nee Enna vendikara nu Enakku theriyum. Nee onnum kavala padatha marumagale. Unnode deiva bhakti kum avangalode nalla manasu kum entha keduthal Um nadakathu. Nalla seithi varum paaru.."

"Irunthalum ithuvaraikum therinja ore oru yethiri Ashok ah than samalichitu irunthan Arjun. Aana Ippo yaruney theriyadha yethiri ellam enga iruntho uruvaagaranga athai. Atha nenacha than kavalaya irukku. Antha Dr. Gautham eppdi patta aal ney theriyala. Aana panathukaga Arjun ah azhikka nenacha avan laam Enna athai help pannida poran"

"Negative ah yosikatha marumagale. Unakku romba kavalaya iruntha nee avangaluku oru phone panni pesu. Un manasu kum nimmathi kedaikum"

"Vendam athai, Avanga entha situation la irukkanga nu theriyama Namma phone panni disturb panna koodathu. Namma night pesuvom athai, Avanga kooda"

———————————————————

Back in New Delhi.

Rojun were heading towards GoodLife Hospital, where Dr. Mehra was the chief doctor. Naveen was accompanying them.

Soon they reached the hospital. The hospital was filled with patients in the waiting area. Hoping that they'd get to meet Dr. Mehra soon, the trio entered the hospital.

As soon as they entered, the scenario changed. Many patients looked weirdly at them, some with disdain while others looked as though they were mocking.

They were confused. They wondered what it could be. Meanwhile Arjun reached the reception and asked the receptionist if they could meet Dr. Mehra.
While doing so, Arjun heard some whispers of the patients.

"Kya aap iss eh pehchanthe ho"
(Don't you recognise him?)
"Kyun nahi. Yahi vo Dr. Arjun hai na. Jisne apne jebh bharne ke liye bacchon ki angon ko bech diya tha"
(Why not? Isn't he Dr. Arjun, the one who sold organs of innocent children for his own selfishness and greed for money..)

Arjun felt extremely hurt hearing this. Roja and Naveen heard those words and became upset too.

Meanwhile the receptionist looked up at him with some sort of disgust and asked him if he was Dr. Arjun.

Naveen could no longer control himself.

"We have come here to meet Dr. Mehra and hence we asked about the same. There's nothing to look down upon in this! And, remember one thing, there's no suffice proof that Dr. Arjun did that cheap deed! Court or law hasn't decided anything. Don't jump into conclusions with half knowledge, lest you'll will repent in near future"

Naveen scolded the receptionist in English who looked stunned for a min. The other patients too looked at him shocked.

Arjun : Naveen, Ithu hospital..control yourself.

Naveen : Pinna Enna sir, aal aaluku vaaiku vanthapadi pesitu irukkanga! Avangaluku Enna theriyum ungala pathi?
Naa ungala Ithana varusham ah paathutu irukken...Neenga evlo nermaiya Intha profession ah pannitu irukkinga. Ethana ezhaingaluku uthavi irukkinga..medical field ku evlo contribue panni irukkinga. Takkunu ellathayum ore nimishathula maranthutu ippdi manasatchi eh illama pesaranga!

Roja : Intha ulagam appdithan naveen. Namma Aayiram nallathu pannalum Antha oru thappa than kuthi kaatum. Athellam kandukka koodathu. Neenga Arjun sir mela ivlo paasam vechirkartha paakarapo santhoshama irukku..

Just then, one of the ward boys who came there and saw the trio went upto Arjun. He was a Middle Aged man.

"Thambi, en Peru Murugan. Naa tamil than, Neenga thappu pannirka mattinga nu Naa nambaren.
Thambi, Inniki doctor hospital ku varala. Enakku therinji 3-4 naal vara mattaru. Doctor ku Naa Romba close. Enna Romba nambuvaru. Enkitta doctor ode address irukku, urgent na Neenga Avar veetla poi avara paarunga thambi"

Arjun : Irunthalum oru senior doc ah Avar veetla poi disturb panna koodathu la anna

Murugan : Appdilam onnum illa thambi. Sila neram patients eh avara veetla poi paapanga
Neengale oru doc. Neenga dharalama poi paarunga thambi. Naa doctor ah pala varusham ah paakaren. Neenga enna nambalam

Having said so, Murugan gave Arjun Dr. Mehra's address.

Arjun : Romba thanks na. Intha uthavi ah Naa marakka matten

Murugan : Poitu vaanga thambi! Nallathe nadakum. ☺️

As it was already evening and the sun was almost setting, Rojun decided to visit Dr. Mehra the following day.

After a light dinner, they went to their rooms to get a good night's sleep. With a little voice inside them saying never to lose hope, Rojun drifted off to sleep, not expecting anything from the eventful day that lie ahead. ✨

A fresh new day in New Delhi

The sun rose early over the city, blanketing it with warm sun rays.

At around 10 am, after a hearty breakfast, they were on their way to Dr. Gautham's house, located in Lajpat Nagar, one of the most expensive areas in the city.

As they were sitting in the car, Roja placed her one hand over his shoulder. Arjun turned to see her smiling face, which instilled in him a new level of confidence.

Soon, they were in Dr. Mehra's place. The car pulled over into his driveway.
It was a large and a posh house, evidently marking the presence of a famous doctor.

After roaming around a bit, they found the row of steps that led to his house. The trio took steps of faith to his door.

*******

Precap : As soon as the door bell echoed inside the large house, and the doors flew open, Arjun was in for a shock and so were the host(s)
