Hi guys been too long since i wrote as i was suffering from sevwre writer's block. I saw esp and our champ have done a great job. But .... anjali affected me a lot and this is juzt a try of me as a tribute to anjali . What if vikram chose  to open up to anjali about his confusions. Just an imaginary alternate for esp plot no hate intended .

The story starts when anjali takes vikram to the house she got for him.

Anjali " indha veetula ellaame ungaluku puduchadha irukanumnu nenaikure vikram "and hugs him

As anjali hugs him and speaks to him about the future she have imagined with him  vikram was stumbled

And a wave of guilt is spreading through him.he felt he is doing great injustice to anjali and he has an urge to speak out everything to her. As she parts away from him he calls her out.

Vikram :Anjali i have something serious to talk about

Anjali :Sollunga vikram

Vikram:Anjali.... the very first day en appa unna pathi sonnapo i ... i really liked your vibe ennavo unna miss pannira koodaadhunu thonuchu

So....

Naa ... naa ....

Anjali senses his nervousness and his nervous facial expression was making her let out a small smile . She holds his hands and looks into his eyes and says

Anjali: vikram relax en ivlo tension?
I am not gonna judge you .edhuva irundhaalum sollunga

Vikram  :naa unta oru poi sonna nee enna pannuva anjali?thappa nenachukuviya ?

Anjali : Mm... right wrongnulaam illa vikram just the situations make us do something . Neenga enta poi sollirndha kandipa andha vishayam enna hurt panradhuko illa enna disaapoint pannaama irukuradhukaagavo dhaa irukumnu naa namburen

Vikram heart twitches with the sincerity she has in her eyes and the way she trusts him in a short time and his mind is refraining him from saying something  but his heart is pushing him to say that

Vikram :anjali.... preethi ....

Anjali thought he us nervous about still continuing the friendship with preethi and smiles at him comfortingly .

Anjali:yea preethi seriously preethiku naa kandipa thanks sollanum vikram she was the one who helped me to get to know more of you. Though she was your ex girlfriend neenga kooptadhum ungaloda fianceya vandhu meet panna othukuraanna.... i can get what kind of gentleman you would've been to her .

Again his heart is twisted by the words she is saying . What did he even do to deserve her trust and those pure eyes filled with only love and nothing else was doing something wierd in him .He didn't have the courage to openup to her by now and his gaze shifts to the full moon that was  shining bright and a small wooden swing in the back yard. He loves swings and he smiles at the cute two seater wooden swing as his legs moves towards it .

He goes there while anjali follows him and sits along with him.

The cold breeze just makes him forget everything . As he takes in the lavender scent mixed in air and the silent night . He looks at anjali who was looking at the moon with glistening eyes and smile crept all over her face. A smile makes a way to his lips involuntarily and he scans around the place with his eyes to find a parcel in her lap.

Vikram :Anjali ennadhidhu

Anjali: oo pesitrundhadhula marante vikram one minute

She hands it over to him and signs to open it wuth her eyes filled with excitement.

He opens it with a confusion and  there was a guitar in it.

He looks at her with amusement while she says with hesitation mm... annaiku unga veetuku vadhapo i saw so many things related to music as well unga roomla guitarsum irunchu ahdaan thought of getting you this .

Vikram was unable to say anythung for a moment and the midel of guitar was exactly the same he was planning to buy after few months .He couldn't help but get varried away by her efforts to make him happy.

Vikram : naa passionate guitar playerlaam illa Anjali. just i love music and it have helped me in healing myself from loneliness..... amma illa adhukaprom oru void create aanadha maraka music dhaa enaku help pannuchu. Apdiye i play guitar in college times then .... it became a hobby in my leisure time that's it .

First time he realised that he was opening up about himself without pestering in a most comfortable way . He never opens up much about the loneliness he faced after the demise if his mother to avoid sympathy . But as he looked into Anjali's eyes it just had pure affection and he could not find even a hint of sympathy in it.

Anjali who was listening to him silently and signs him to play " enakum musicna romba pudikum vikram if you don't mind oru tue play panreengala ?"

He smiles and nods at her before playing to his favourite tunes . She humms along with him and he never realised that it was about an hour until she stops him  that it will hurt his fingers if he continues to play after a long time.

Anjali claps her hands and says " superaa vaasikireenga vikram "while

vikram says "neengalum nalla paadreenga anjali .your voice is really soothing " anjali smiles with blush and takes the guitar from his hand and places it carefully in the nearby table .

Anjali didn't want this time with Vikra to end  as she felt like living in a paradise . As they both walked out of the house towards the car she called him.

Anjali :Vikram . Inga pakathula oru chinna forest maari edam iruku shall we go for a walk?

Vikram wished to deny but those puppy eyes of Anjali never made it possible for him and he gave in for a walk.

They both were walking side by side and anjali was thoroughly enjoying  the path which was surrounded by hmongous trees and the woody scent along with chillness of the night . The way their fingers and shoulders brushed occasionally and is presense around her itself made her feel contented.

Vikram was noticing all these and he himself was enjoying this . As the silence was most comforting both didnt want to break it . They were enjoying the silence while vikram's mind cautioned him of what he was supposed to do .

He broke the silence by calling out : anjali naa onnu kekava?

Anjali  nodded her head as approval and said : idhukellaama permission kepeenga kelunga vikram .

Vikram :Nee en yaarayum love pannadhe illa? ivlo azhaga love pathi purunju vachuruka.

Anjali: mm .....thonunadhilla vikram. Maybe kaadhala pathi ellaame enaku theriyumndra ennam irukuradhalayo ennavo ellaam therunja oru vishayatha naama adhigama explore panna nenaika maatomla. She let out a soft chuckle which reflected in vikram's face too.

Vikram :then... how you thought that i would be suitable for you anjali?

Anjali smiled at him and continued

Anjali :mudhalla enaku ungatta vandhadhu trust vikram . En amma appaku naa orey ponnu . Their choice of groom enaku bestaa perfectaa irukumndradhu ennoda nambikka.en appavoda choice mela naa vacha nambikkaila dhaa namma relationshipey start aachu.adhukaprom the efforts u took to know about my character by stalking my profile

Vikram :enga stalkinglaam illanga summa paathe.

Anjali laughs and says: hmm naanum paathe 2013 la pota postku like potrundhadha

Vikram aheepishly smiles while anjali continues :aprom naa ketendradhukaaga unhaloda past paina trigger panra unga exoda meet panna vachadhu , en birthday partyku naane contact tholacha ennoda frndsalaam kooptadhu,every single effort u took to just make me happy made me find my solace in you vikram. And i can't resist myself from falling for you.

Vikram was spell bound by this time and for the first time he realised the depth of the conversation he is having with someone and he could sense the tranquility he feel towards her.

Vikram : naa ungaloda time.kooda avlo spend pannadhillaye anjali... idhelaam chinna chinna vishayangal dhaana....

Anjali: chinna chinna vishayathula dhaa vikram vaazhkayoda azhage iruku. enna dhaan pournami nilavu vaanathaye azhaga kaamichaalum adhu maasathula oru naal dhaan andha azhaga kudukum aana dhenam dhenam andha vaanatha azhaga kaatradhu kutty kutty natchathiram dhaan.Lifela epovo kedaikura periya happinessa vida dhenam dhenam kedaikura chinna chinna happiness makes life more beautiful and meaningfulnu naa namburen.

Vikram was teuly impressed by her way of approach towarda life and thw way ahe cherishes the smallest things she did for her .

Vikram :epdi anjali ipdilaam yosikureenga ?great ...naa lifela checklist pote ellaathulayum best bestnu thedunadhaalo ennavo indha chinna chinna vishayamlaam note pannaamaye poitennu nenaikure.

And by that moment when he looked up at the sky the stars looked more beautiful than the moon he intook the beauty of the night sky and shifted his gaze towards the calm figure of anjali standing behind him with happiness written all over her face just by his presence.

He felt the beauty of being loved and receiving love. And by that moment the world seemed more beautiful than a load of calculative things he had in his mind till the very moment.

The very next moment guilt flooded into his mind and he felt hiding this anymore would be an injustice to the pure soul standinh beside him with beautiful dreams and expectations on life with him.

He turned towards her and held her hands in his hands and called anjali on a soft tone.

She looked into his eyes and he closed her eyes with one of his hands unable to withstand the intensity and the purity the eyes held.

Vikram:Anjali.....frst time appa unna pathi sonnone  i liked the vibe u carried.Unna paatha second i felt u are the one and nee epdiyaachu ok sollirnumnu dhaa naa enaku love irukunu po.... poi sonne.

Anjali didnt even try to take his hands away from her eyes

Anjali : solli mudinga vikram don't hesitate.

He let out a sigh and narrated how he made preethi to act and the new found feelings he have developed and he could sense anjali's hands shivering which was in his hold

Though it stinged his heart he continued

Vikram :Lift.... liftla  in a moment of impulse.... i....  i kissed  preethi

There comes a soft sniffle and a gasp from anjali and he could feel his palms getting wet. He controlled himself and continued to say...

I tried contacting preethi after that .ava kitta oru magic feel panne anjali.aana she never picked my call and ennoda feelings one sidedaa kooda irukalaam but i dont wanna hide this from you Anjali . Nee avlo kanavu kandu vachuruka and i feel guilty and as a two timer to hide these from you .

He removed his hand from her eyes after completing only to see bloodshot eyes of Anjali filled with tears.

Vikram stammered looking at tears in her eyes and repeated :Naa... idhellaam unta sollanumnu sathyama nenaikala anjali but... the moment u started explaining ur dreams of a life with me.

Anjali removed her hand from is hold and turned away from him

Anjali : podhum vikram purunjuchu

Her broken voice broke the insides of vikram

Anjali continued.... sorry vikram to have made u uncomfortable.Naa.... i didnt realise anything that was happening around me apart from you
.... am.... am ... sorry vikram.
Veetla naa pesikure .... we are not even engagedla....she lets out a bitter smile

Vikram felt his heart getting heavy by the way she is reacting . He was prepared for her anger but  he wasnt able to withstand her tears .

Vikram : neenga en anjali sorry kekureenga naa...

Anjali  : i asked sorry to have u beside me all this time without even realising thay u werent interested in me .Its .....kind of forcing dhaane vikram

Vikram tries to come near her while she stops him with her hand gesturing to stop .

Anjali :Please ponga vikram

Vikram :anjali naa solradha

Anjali : please vikram i dont want to be a forced love . Ennaikaavadhu oru naal Annaiku anjali namma lifela illaama irundhurundha preethiyoda namma life azhaga irundhurukumonu neenga nenachuta aprm naa ungaloda vaazhradhku arthame illa vikram.I don't want to be a hurdle in ur life.Just... just go vikram

Anjali walks away from that place and it starts raining suddenly covering the sky and the stars depriving the sky from its little lights of happiness.

Vikram stood there drenching in the rain staring at the retreating figure of anjali feeling completely numb onhow to react  and his heart contradictingly ached for rejection from Anjali.

He wished for this to happen but when he was finally away from her his heart was not ready to accept it.

Her words echoed in his ears Buthikum manasukumaana porattathula epovum manasu solradha dhaa naama kekurom aana buthi solradhayum kekalaame

The next day he went to preethi's home . As her grandfather assisted him to wait in terrace and waited for her to come up.

Preethi : unaku eththana...

Vikram cut her half way and said

Vikram:I am sorry preethi...For everything....I am sorry.Aarambathula oru poiyaala dhaa unta pesa aarambiche unma dhaa. Aana Adhukaprom I started developing feelings for you.Edho oru magic maari onnu unta enna attract pannuchu. andha oru adrenalin drive enna unmela crazy aakuchu.That's what made me kiss u in the lift.But ..... nethulerndhu enaku onnu dhaa thonudhu.Is adrenaline drive enough for the whole life?

We havent talked much we havent spent time much love comes with understanding... and trust, namakkulla understanding and trust irundhurundha naa pesa varadha oru dhadava nee ketrupela preethi?

Preethi could sense something have transpired in thought process of Vikram and she thought of giving in to know more about his thought process.

Preethi :innoru ponnoda marriage fix aana paiyan vikram nee .avala pudikum avaluku puducha maari nee irukanumnu dhaa en mela love irukura maari nee nadika vacha?Nadikka vandha enta lovenu sonna naa epdi unna namburadhu.Naama love pannala vikram the love we had was fake

Vikram :Maybe ..... andha fake love adhula nee kudutha feel dhaa enaku unmayaave apdi oru love story irundhurundha nalla irundhurukumonu ekkatha kuduthurukumo ennavo  preethi.
Adha naa unmela iruka unmayaana kaadhala misunderstand pannikitenonu thonudhu.lifela eppovume regret panna koodaadhunu nenaikuravan naan.Onne onnu kekanumnu dhaa vandhen.Unaku en mela love iruka preethi?

Preethi stumbled on his direct question but one thing that resonated in her ears was anjali's words.

Anjali " ungalaala dhaa enaku vikram pathi mulusa purunjuka mudunchu preethi thanks for giving me a gem. "

The pure and self less love she saw in eyes of anjali for vikram made her suppress her feelings and say " illa vikram naa unna love panla .That kiss was obviously an action of impulse adha marandhuralaam. Enaku un mela love illa vikram . "

Vikram let out a sigh of releif though it pained a little it was not as painful as he felt yesterday while he heard anjali's broken voice.it was strabge abd wierd but he liked the feel .

Vikram :ok then that's absolutely cool.

Preethi noted his facial expressions and the releif that spread across his face made her beleive that her decision was right as always. She continued.

Preethi :Vikram namma deal idhoda mudichukalaam.I am flying to malaysia for my theatre play.

Vikram extends his hands and says :oh congrats all the best.

Preethi shakes hands with him and says: all the best to you too

As their hands parts they knew  their ways part the very moment.

As he left from there preethi looked at her hand and let out a bitter smile and said to herself " this will pass on too "

The subtle crush she developed on him will pass on by the time and the passion she had for her career.
For her she and vikram were two knives in one sheath.Their ego and her burning passion for career along with his careless and go with the flow attitude would never give a fruitful love life for both. She was satisfied with her decision and continued to look at the setting sun calling an end for the day just like the end of her short lived love life.

Anjali was working on her new book and she was deciding a titkle for it

She thinked a lot and finalised with a title enna solla pogirai

As she completed writing it a flower fell on the page of the book she was writing and she looked above to find vikram  smiling at her by holding  hard on the sill of the window as he was hanging with its support .

She shouted terrified at the sight and said :Vikram enna panreenga en ipdi eri vareenga.

Snd went towards the balcony to open the door

He jumped into the room through the balcony and looked at her with sheepish smile.

Anjali : edhuku ippo innerathula sevureri kudhichutrukeenga? Engayaachu vilundha enna aagum

Vikram smiles at her and says: adhilla Anjali unta onnu kekanum

Anjali :en adha naalaiku kaalaila  kekalaame vikram. ipdi dhaa eruveengala adi patrundha ennaagum?

She was checking for wounds while he smiled at her warmly.

She suddenly realised the proximity and moved away from him straightening her face.

She crossed her hands and asked : enna sollanum vikram?

His gaze shifted to the book where its pages were fluttering

He went in and took it in his hands and read through it .

Vikram : idhenna vijay and keerthiyoda kadhai sequellaa?

Anjali looked at him confused as "is this what you wanna ask? "

Anjali :mm aama

Vikram glanced through few pages and closed the book . Looked at anjali who was looking at him and waiting patientky for him to speak up.

Vikram came near her with the book in his hand :Idhula anu nu oru character paathene.Anu yaaru?

Anjali looks into his eyes and says: vijayoda fiance

Vikram gasps and asks :yaaroda vijaya serka pora?

He sensed the story was no more that of vijay's but his .

Anjali let out a sigh and said :enna dhaan keerthy avanuku wrong timela kedachaalum she was his right person  la . Evlo dhaa anu avana love pannaalum vijay oda perspectivela keerthy dhaane avanuku perfect so.... avaloda dhaa.

Vikram closes the book and keeps it asides and says

Vijayku  venunaa keerthy crctaa irukalaam Aana enaku anjali dhaa crct.

Anjali looks at him calmly and replies  sympathylaam venaam vikram adhaan sonnene naa en familya paat....

He comes closer to her and places his index finger on her lips silencing her . she looks into his eyes with her widened eyes while he smiles at her assuringly and speaks in his base voice

vikram:Enaku unna maari deepalaam pesavum theriyaadhu yosikavum theriyaadhu anjali.Go with the flow character dhaa naan.Andha flowla enaku preethiyoda irundha moments puduchurundhuchu illanu sollala... aana.... unnoda irundha andha oru naal night...Andha 2 mani neram...Lifela naa avlo amaidhiya unarndhadhe illa.I am not perfect I am a person with so much flaws and expectations.you are my solace Anjali.Annaiku night andha 2 mani neram enaku vaazhka muzhuka enna venumnu unara vachuchu.I might be a jerk ,i might be a confused person.But .... i want you.

Anjali looks at him with widened eyes while he stepped back  and pointed to the title of the book and whispered " enna solla pogirai?"

he noticed her struggling to hug him and looking at him with tears in her eyes unable to beleive what he just told by closing her fists strongly.

He came closer to her and wrapped her waist with his hands and took her hands around his neck and whispered " this will always be yours .... love you anjali "

She hugs him back tightly with tears flowing down and whispered back in trembling voice "love u so much Vikram"
