'Own your game.'

Rajeev received call in the late night. He was startled to see Nayak's number.

Rajeev: Uncle, what happened??? Why are you calling me in this night???

Nayak: Can you send me a car to PM's residence???

Rajeev rejoiced inside as his uncle returning abruptly.

Rajeev: I will come, uncle. Did something happen???

Nayak: Nothing. I want to leave this place as soon as possible.

The old man sounded irritated.

Rajeev: I will be there in 30 minutes.

Nayak: Okay... Wait for me in the gate... You will not be allowed inside..

Rajeev: Sure.. You don't worry, uncle... I'm here for you....

After disconnecting the call, Nayak looked at his daughter's worried face.

Suhasini: Appa... Don't leave abruptly..

Nayak: Thank me for leaving you here sweetie...

Suhasini: Pa... Please listen to me... Adi is nice and gentle....

Nayak: I don't think we will ever be in same page, Sadhana...

Suhasini: You cannot leave in midnight pa... I will talk to him..

Nayak: I cannot stay in his house even for a minute...

Her eyes welled up with tears...

Nayak: Why are you crying, Sadhana??? He may not be a good son-in-law but he is a good husband... Don't worry about me...

You cannot cry at this time... You're pregnant... Stop crying...

She hugged him and he tried to console her without revealing their plan. Adi came down at that moment.

Adi: Mama....

Nayak: Sadhana... Tell him not to call me mama..

Suhasini: Appa... He is your son-in-law.... He has rights...

Nayak: You too joined him... Sari purinjudhu... Naan varen...

Suhasini: Appa... Nillu pa... Listen to me...

Adi held her. She looked at him with eyes full of tears.

Adi: Calm down... He is in shock... He missed our wedding and you are already pregnant. He missed the major events of your life..

Adhan kovama irukkar meesai... Let him be... He will be fine... I will talk to him again..

Suhasini: I'm not a good daughter...

Adi: I'm your destiny... You came to me the way you had to... Don't think about all these things...

If you cry now, then your son will become a crybaby in future...

Suhasini: I'm not crying and don't call my son a crybaby....

Adi smiled..

-------

Nayak got into his car and looked exasperated.

Rajeev: What happened, uncle???

Nayak: Enna nadakkanum??? Ellam anga oruthan irukkane...

En ponne kattirukkane....

That sentence killed Rajeev internally. He wished for her once. But she loved that Adi.

He then concentrated on his uncle as he cleared his mind.

Nayak: Andha Adi dhaan....

Rajeev: Neenga enna kettinga???

Nayak: Naan yean Avan kitte kekanum??? Naan en ponne kutitu poren nu sonnen...

Rajeev: What did he say???

Nayak: He denied on my face... He said he owns her... He said that I failed her as a father. I tried to kill my daughter by listening to some stranger. I put my daughter in harm's way and I don't deserve to be with her.

Rajeev panicked for a moment.

Nayak: But I didn't believe him. When you came to me five years back, didn't you ask me to destroy Adi??? You never targetted my daughter. But that Adi tried to fool me. I didn't believe him.

Rajeev: You did the correct thing, uncle... He is a politician. Don't believe him...

I'm the righteous heir and they threw me away. That is why I wanted to attack him. I never targetted your daughter.

Nayak: I believe in you... You are my nephew... We are blood related...

If that Adi didn't intervene, I would have got Sadhana married to you.

All his suspicions cleared hearing the last statement from Nayak.

Nayak also noticed the latter's relaxed look. He was impressed with his dear son-in-law's intelligence.

Adi emphasized on using the last sentence to gain Rajeev's trust and it worked.

Nayak: Sari vidu... Ini edhuku adhu???

Rajeev: Hmmm

Nayak: Nee edho un company le Adi share vaangitan nu sonniye adhu enna kadhai????

Rajeev: Adhu onnum illa, mama... Adi planted someone called Arjun from I country to buy shares in my company.

Nayak: Oh god... What happened??

Rajeev: They succeeded... That Arjun guy bought 43% shares and sold them to Adi...

Nayak: We cannot let them have their way, son...

Rajeev: They are major shareholders, uncle... I own only 41%...

Nayak: Don't I have 6%???

Rajeev: But those are yours, Uncle...

Nayak: I just bought it for Sadhana... Ippo dhaan avaluku naan mukkiyam illaye...

Avaluku andha Adi dhaan mukkiyam ippo... Enna irundhalum ponnu nu prove pannita paaru... Vittutu poita...

Inime nee dhaan enaku vaarisu, Rajeev...

Rajeev: Uncle... Enna irundhalum Ava unga ponnu....

Nayak: I know da... Muttaal....

Rajeev: Please don't make decisions in haste...

Nayak: I'm so clear... Naalaiku morning eh meeting conduct Pannu...

I will sell you those shares... You can oust them....

Rajeev: Thank you so much, uncle...

Nayak: I know how hard you worked to build this empire, Rajeev...

Your uncle is here to help you....

---------

They reached Rajeev's mansion soon.

Big guy received Nayak and settled him in his room.

Rajeev was sipping his drink when big guy returned.

Big guy: You seem to be in good mood sir...

Rajeev: I'm gonna get everything I deserve, big guy....

Big guy: I don't understand boss... Did your uncle bring any good news??

Rajeev: He did... En company mattum illama... En varungaala manaivi pathi kooda sonnaru....

Big guy: Yaaru sir adhu???

He glared at his dumb assistant...

Big guy: Oh got it. It's Sadhana... But she is already married, boss.. ponnu vera irukku...

Rajeev: I don't mind... She is my dream girl, Big guy... I love her you know...

Big guy: I'm happy if you are happy boss.... Do you believe in your uncle???

Rajeev: I still have my doubts... Do one thing... Tap my uncle's phone and see if he receives any call from that bonehead....

Big guy: Bonehead???

Rajeev: Adi... Don't make me utter his name again...

He roared at his assistant..

Big guy mumbled: He is this country's PM.. People call him Honorable... His highness...

And I think he deserves to be called that way...

Rajeev: What did you say???

Big guy: Nothing sir... I just said that you are right....

-------

Nayak retrieved the hidden phone given by Adi from his suit pocket and called him.

Nayak: Mappillai, Is she still crying???

Adi: No mama... She went to bed... She is sound asleep...

Ungalku Anga onnum prachanai illaye....

Nayak: Adhellam edhuvum illa... Andha madaiyan ennai nambittan... Avanuku evlo dhairyam??? En ponnu mela aasai padran...

Neenga mattum thadukale na avane angaye sutturuppen...

Adi: Mama... Naama ivlo kashta pattadhuku kaaranam Avan... Avane easy ah kolla koodadhu.... Onnu onna pidunganum...

Nayak: You're right, mappillai...

Adi: And neenga ennai nee vaa po ne kupdalam... Adi nu sonnale podhum....

Nayak: Neenga Raja....

Adi: Ungalku Marumagan... Avlo dhaan.... Maganum kooda...

Nayak's heart filled with happiness.

Nayak: Sari Adi... Apdiye kupdren...

Apram morning edhuvum sodhappal aagiradhe....

Adi: Adhellam aagadhu... Baya padadhinga... I'm sending the person whom I trust with my whole heart... Nothing will go wrong, Mama....

Neenga safe ah irunga, Mama...

Nayak: Don't worry, mappillai... Ennai Avan thotta enna aavan nu avanuku theriyum... Nee poi thoongu, Adi...

They bid good night to each other.

------

The next morning....

Rajeev prepared everything for the signing.

Rajeev: Once you sign this, apram ellam namma rajyam dhaan mama... I will bring your daughter back...

Nayak: Adhu podhum Rajeev enaku...

Nayak smirked when Rajeev didn't notice.

Rajeev placed the file before him and the old man placed his pen on the paper.

"I object this"

A slender hand opened the room's door.
