Author's POVMynthavika dragged shiva along with her towards her mother... Gowri was keenly observing him like trying to memorize and remember him.... Once they were near Mynthu made him stood right in front of  Gowri with some distance and saw her mother... Mynthu : Amma... Kotitu vanthutein... Ipo solu ena solanumo.... (Amma see I brought him here ..now say what ever you wanted)Gowri gulped.... She felt like she know him very well that confused and caused pain in her head.... She took long breath and closed her eyes to compose herself... Mynthu thought as usual her mother was nervous to talk with stranger... So she said   Mynthu : Nee bayapadama solu ma... Naa irukein la....unaku onum agathu.... Nee solu naa pathukurein ethachu intha alu pana face ah damage panidrein...... (Don't be afraid ma....I am here right...I won't let anything happen to you.....You speak up I will handle this man ...if he do something I will damage his face)Gowri : Mynthu.... Periyavanga kita intha mari pesa kudathu .... Sorry solu.... (Mynthu...you shouldn't talk like this with elders....say Sorry )She warned her daughter...... Mynthu pouted  at her mother and turned towards Shiva and said sorry grumpily... Mynthu : Naa sorry solitein ne ena solanumo solu(I said Sorry now you tell him what you want)Shiva looked at Gowri...... There was something different in her eyes which trying to convey him something...... Gowri : ungala 2 days munadi oruthar theditu irunthar..... Atha solanum nu tha kuptein.... (Someone was searching you 2 days back....I want to say this to you...)Shiva : oh..... I just went out somewhere he misinterpreted that I am missing...now he will be at home waiting for me...... Mynthu : Veeda... Athu enga iruku.... Ungala naa pathathe ilaiye.... (home...where is it....I never saw you here before)Shiva : Nanga oruku puthusu..... Konja nal tha inga stay panuvom papa.... Atho anga theriyuthu par anga tha naa ipo stay pandrein.... (We are new to this place....we will stay here for few days papa.....see there that last home that's where we are staying now)He wanted to say this to Gowri..... That's why he stressed the last line... Mynthu : ohhh..... Apo unga oru ethu... (ohhh....then your native?)Shiva : Chennai.... Mynthu : Okay....... Enaku school ku already late naa poren..... Bye... Vaa ma polam.... (Okay ....I am getting late for school I am leaving....byee....come maa lets move  )Mynthu said looking at her mother..... Gowri : hmm....... Don't make the person wait for more than thier patience level..... She said to Shiva directly looking at his eyes making him still and left with Mynthu.... She again turned back and looked at him one more time with unreadable expression and went away.... Shiva turned to move but he felt something he turned only to saw a small figure running away from him.......... That's Mynthu she again hits him on his legs and back.... She saw him looking at her direction... So she shouted... Mynthu : Athu ena School ku late akunathukum... Sorry keka vachathukum..... (That's for delaying me  to school..... and making me ask sorry )She showed her tongue in teasing manner and again captured her mother's hand  and left... Shiva was smiling  at his daughters silly acts.... Also he smiled knowing his chellama is going to come back to him.... He was so sure about that now...... The last class of the day ends... The professor left one by one students were also leaving... Shiva was also prepared to leave only to blocked by her..... Gowri the girl who proposed him 2 days back which he didn't gave any answer... He looked around the class was already empty... He raised his eyebrows at her... Gowri : Konjam pesanum...... Thaniya........ That's why I waited all day..... But no more waiting..... (I need to talk with you...privately)He nodded and sat on the first bench.. That to on a writing desk..... He calmly said... Shiva : Pesalame....... (ohh we can talk ...)His calmness irritated her more she felt like plugging each and every stands of hair from his head painfully making him shout at the pain....she bites her inner cheeks to control herself and took deep breath before lashing out on him.... Gowri : Apdi ena thappa ketutein...... Unaku love proposal thane panein... Ama ila nu sola evlo neram agidum.... Etho pei ya patha mari odi olinjikita ena artham......2 days leave potutu pora alavuku na pakka avlo mosma irukeina ila una meratuneina...... Pudikalana direct ah solitu pogavendiyathu thane athu ena ipdi avoid pandrathu.....Nane vanthu love pandrein nu sonathala avlo elakarama poita la... For your kind information enakum neraiya proposal intha college laiye vanthuruku...... I never did something like you did to me......I didn't get that much attracted towards anyone like I got attracted to you..That doesn't mean you are the hottest man in the whole college okay...You are still average looking one with that glass... Which I know you are wearing for headache... I couldn't understand college join pani 1 month aguthu unaku headache kudaporatha viyathiya....And see I am not interested in how you look... I am impressed by your character....you respect everyone... Yartaiyum rude ah pesunathila even though you are the son of famous industrialists......a smile will always be there on your face...which calms me down....That's why I proposed you....... Al kedaiakama ila purinnjiko atha mothala.....ipo en enaku bathil solama 2 nal odi pona... And inaiku vanthathula irunthu avoid pandra.... Enaku therinje aganum...And remember please don't make someone wait for more than thier patience level....Antha level ah thandina thooki potutu poite irupanga same goes for me...Naa una urugi urugi love panitu lam ila..... Love panalama nu tha ketein athuke unala bathil sola mudila...Na ena ipove vaa kalyanam panikalam nu keta mari avoid pandra....... Ipo no nu solu thirumba nee iruka pakkam kuda thala vachu paduka matein.....Say it say it on my face.... Come on.....(what did I asked wrongly huh......I proposed you for love.. How much time it would take you to say yes or no....instead of that you are hiding from me as if I am a ghost...Am I looking that much ugly or did I forced myself on you no right then why did you hide from me and took two days leave ....you don't like me then say it on my face and move on man...what is this hiding means .... just because I came and proposed you first makes me cheap in your eyes right... For your kind information I too received many proposals in this college.... I never did something like you did to me......I didn't get that much attracted towards anyone like I got attracted to you....That doesn't mean you are the hottest man in the whole college okay...You are still average looking one with that glass... Which I know you are wearing for headache... I couldn't understand its been 1 month of college still your headache didn't go away is it born with you .And see I am not interested in how you look... I am impressed by your character....you respect everyone...you never talked rudely with anyone even though you are the son of famous industrialist......a smile will always be there on your face...which calms me down....That's why I proposed you....... that wasn't because I could find anyone else you understand that first....why you ran away without telling me answer and took leave for 2 days...even today from the moment you came you are avoiding me.......And remember please don't make someone wait for more than their patience level......if that level is crossed they will through that person out of their life same goes for me...I am not deeply madly in love with you....I asked you can we love and you couldn't answer that simple question....Did I asked you to marry me right away ..no right then why are you running away from me......Say it say it on my face.... Come on.....)She  was taking without any gap pouring all her frustration while he was smiling at her fueling her anger more.......... Gowri : Ipadiye serichitu irukatha ethachu soli thola enaku mandaiye vedichidum pola....... Vaya thora da... Ilana(Don't smile like this ..open your mouth and say something my is about to explode now..if  you didn't spoke ...then)Shiva : I love you too. Gowri : huhhh...... She didn't expected that from him.... She thought he would give explanation for rejecting her or say sorry...... But this was completely out of the box..... She was stilled staring at him and trying to process it.... Shiva : I said I love you too ..... And I didn't hide or ran away from you... Our industry started a new factory in Thirunelaveli..... I went for the opening..... Yes I took some time to answer you.... Ena pana nee Rudra va detective ah use pana mari enaku yariyum vaika therila.....But I was sure... Unaku munadiye.... College la una patha first day la irunthu na una mattum tha pakurein una sight adika mattum tha back bench la ukarein.....May be I am average...... Even you are but for me you are the best... Athu nee soli enaku theriyanum nu ila.... And I know many proposed you ana avanga yarum second time una approach panathe ila athuku naa tha karanam...... Ipo kuda naa solrathula unmaiya poiya nu theriyaama confusion la irukapo kuda enala una rasikama iruka mudila dii...... Avlo  paduthura ena.... Nerla mattum ila kanavulaiyum......(what to do....I don't know anyone here in college  to keep as detective like you kept Rudra to watch me.....But I was sure...even before you...from the first day of college I saw you only....I sit in that back bench only to sight you...may be I am average...even you are but for me you are the best....you don't have to say that to me I know it....And I know many proposed you ever thought why they didn't approached you second time...its because of me....even now you looking at me with confusion is I am saying the truth or lie....I can't stop myself from admiring you....you are torturing me that much in presence as well as in my dreams... )He got down from the bench and now their face was closer than ever before her breath hitched due to their closeness.... Her eyes were wide to its maximum He leaned more making her go crazy and her mind stopped working.... Her heart picked up high speed.... Shiva : Trust me diii.... Ipo kuda apdiye mulusa thinganum pola iruku...But I won't do anything without your permission...... (even now I want to eat you whole...). And again I am saying.... The answer for your proposal is yes........ And I love you  more than you do...... if you don't love me now that's fine .. I will make sure you fall hard for me..... Its getting late leave soon before peon comes to close the door..... Unless you want us to be the hot topic of the college tomorrow.....He straitened himself and pulled her nose once and smiled at her before leaving her in shock......... Rudra Shook Shiva to make him come out of that day's memories... Shiva looked at the 4 men staring at him  curiouslyShiva : what happened why you all looking at me like that....Rudra : Nee tha da solanum ava poi half an hour aguthu.... Nama poi plan podalam vaa epadi anga irunthu Gowri ah save pandrathunu.... (you have to say da..its been half an hour since she left....lets go and make a plan to save her from that place )Karthik : yes sir we have to come up with something... We have no plan so far.. Shekhar : Dei Shiva.... what da...say something... He just smiled at them.... Ram : ena mapla serikureinga..... (why are smiling at us mapla)Shiva : Nama ethum panavendiya avasiyam ila mama.. (we don't have to do anything mama)Rudra : Ena da olara.... (what are you blaberring)Shiva : Naa olarala... Ne vena par inaikula en ponum en Wife um en kita vanthuduvanga... (I am not blaberring....wait and watch my wife and my daughter will come to me within today)Shekar : epadi daa avlo strong ah solra.... Nanga tha pathome.... Gowri ku suthama una adaiyalam therila... Rudra vum sona la evlo dangerous antha couple nu.... (how are you sure about it da....we saw ourself ....Gowri couldn't recognize you...Rudra to explained how dangerous those couple were)Shiva : That's true pa..... yes she doesn't have her past memories but that doesn't change the fact that she is Gowri.... Karthik : couldn't understand  sir.... please say clearly... Shiva : She may not know what happened in her past but surely now what happening around her.... She knows that very well..... She will take care of it.........
