'I fell in love with you. Simple because you're you.'

Ranjan and Oorvashi left the hall. Adi looked at his little wife whose face was filled with happiness.

Adi: What are you so happy about?

Suhasini: I know how this is going to end... Adhan...

Adi: How will it end??

Suhasini: They will get married. You colluded with Empress Grandma and planned everything.

If I know Ranjan correctly, he will agree to whatever Oorvashi says. So next kalyanam dhaan. Adhan jolly ah irukken..

Adi: You are making wrong guess.. I didn't collude with Royal Grandmother.

Suhasini: Nadikadhe. I saw when you both looked at each other..

Adi: You became so smart, baby...

He placed his hand on her thigh and rubbed as he said. Since she was wearing gown on that day and the fabric was so soft, she could feel his hot and warm hand. She held his rubbing hand.

Suhasini: No... Not here...

Adi: What will happen, baby?

He whispered.. He kept his face straight when he did that. She was on fire pit.

Suhasini: Elders are here... Please...

Adi: call me sweetly.. I will leave you...

Suhasini: En aasai purushan le....

Adi: Okay I'm leaving you alone... for now..

Suhasini: What do you mean??

Adi: I will collect my debt, tonight..

She was extremely shy. She could handle him when they were alone. With people around, she was embarrassed. But the same cannot be said for him, he was completely shameless.

Suhasini: you gangster... Take your hand away...

He gave a naughty smile.

--------

There was another couple in the next room who were struggling to talk to each other.

Ranjan: You wanted to say something???

Oorvashi: Why are you being like this??

Ranjan: What did I do, your highness??

Oorvashi: apdi kupdadhe...

Ranjan: Pinna epdi kupda???

Oorvashi: Adhe vidu... Yean paati kitte friendly ah kiss pannen nu sonna???

Anniku ennamo ennai kalyanam pannippen adhu idhu nu sonne???

Ranjan: Idhe keka dhaan kuptiya???

Oorvashi: Idhuku padhil sollu, Ranjan...

Unknowingly, she kept delaying from revealing the truth.

Ranjan: See, whatever happened was our private thing. My feelings about you and whatever we have are more private for me. I cannot share that with anyone.

I don't want others to see you in a bad light. I wanted to marry you. I still want to marry you. But only if you say so. I can woo you forever. I spent years of my life loving you. I can wait forever. But I don't want to force you.

She plopped to the floor and started crying by hiding her face with her hands. He was shocked for a second and then rushed towards her and held her shoulders.

Ranjan: What happened???

She leaned on his shoulders and continued wailing. She thought about her fate and cried. He said he didn't want to force her. But that bastard forced her in the name of love.

Why didn't she meet him before? Why was fate playing cruelly with them?

Ranjan: Talk to me... Nee sonna dhaane enaku theriyum..

She made a decision in her mind. She didn't deserve him. She sniffled as she collected herself. She stood up and wiped her eyes. She turned away from him as she started talking.

Oorvashi: If you really want to marry me, you need to know one truth..

Ranjan: What is it??

Oorvashi: If you marry me, you will lose the chance of becoming father.

As I had an ectopic pregnancy, the baby was on my fallopian tube. To remove it, they removed one side of the tube. So there is very lesser chance for me to ever get pregnant again....

Ranjan: I knew it...

Oorvashi: What???? How could it be??? Only I and Suhasini Anni knew about this.

Ranjan: Remember, I was there with you in the hospital. I heard whatever doctor said to Ma'am on that day.

Idhellam enaku erganave theriyum and I don't mind.

She came near him and grabbed his collar. She was extremely frustrated with him. He cannot be selfless to the end.

Oorvashi: Yean da ipdi irukke??? Don't be like this. I don't deserve you.

Ranjan: I love you....

She struggled with her tears..

Oorvashi: I cannot give you children..

Ranjan: I love you...

Oorvashi: I cannot satisfy you.. Indha love ellam poirum... Nee ennai veruthuruve... Kaalam poora oru paavathe paakura maari irukkum...

Unaku dhrogam panna maari en manasule oru guilt irukkum...

Ranjan.. Kelu da...

Ranjan: Naan unnai romba varushama love pandren... I still remember the first time I saw you..

Unnai Avan love pannadhum enaku theriyum... Nee avanuku okay sonnadhum enaku theriyum... Enaku ellame theriyum.. except the time you spent with him..

I have seen your eyes filled in love for someone else.. Adhuve enaku valikale... Idhuva valika podhu???

You are like a goddess to me... Nee enga irundhalum sari... En manasu unakaga mattum dhaan irukkum.. Unnai thavirthu yaarum enaku therinjadhu illa.. ini theriya poradhum illa...

Ennai nambi vaa... Kaalam poora thala mela vechi thaanguren... Un bakthana kekuren.. Sari sollu Oorvashi....

Paaraiyil seidhadhu en manam endru
Thozhiku solli irundhen
Paaraiyin idukkil ver vitta kodiyai
Nee nenjil mulaithu vittaai....

She was stupefied. The more he talked, the more she felt guilty for dragging him into her life. She loved the guy before her immensely. He was pure. She wasn't.

Oorvashi: We cannot marry. I cannot agree..

I cannot... I cannot...

She shook her head vigorously. She rushed and wanted to say her answer quickly as she realised if she prolonged for a minute, he would make her agree.

She held his hand and walked towards the chamber. As they entered the chamber, she saw a strange person dressed in military suit. Her gaze then fell on her father. His face was lowered during this entire time.

Empress: Don't worry, Oorvashi. This is Ranjan's father. Military General of our Country, Col. Muthukumaran.

She bowed to his father respectfully.

Empress: I think you both made a decision. Think properly before answering.

Oorvashi again looked at her father. Her determination started melting. Her father looked so aged. She knew how concerned he was about her. She was not able to bring herself to break her father's heart again.

She then looked at Ranjan.

Oorvashi: I agree...

Ranjan looked at her calmly. She also noticed him. He was not so surprised. Did he know already that she was going to agree??

She saw her father. His shoulders relaxed and he smiled towards her mother. She made her mind.

Oorvashi: you made a right decision.. don't worry, oorvashi...

Empress: Muthukumaran, Are you okay with this alliance?

Muthukumaran: I have already informed His Highness about my wish, Your Majesty.

Empress: Very good... Very good...

Dev... Madhana... Thattu maathidalama innike???

Muthukumaran.. Ungalku okay dhaane???

Muthukumaran: Enaku muzhu sammadham...

They soon finished the rituals. Suhasini was thinking about something and then turned towards her husband.

Suhasini: Unaku konjam kooda bayama illaya???

Adi: Edhuku???

Suhasini: You brought me here.. You married me... And we are doing it...

Adi: We are doing what???

Suhasini: Adi.....

Adi: Okay okay....

Suhasini: Ippo enga appa vandhu ketta enna solluve???

She was thinking about the consequences which would happen in future when Adi would meet her father. She noticed him coming closer to her.

Adi: Naan enna solluven??? I love your daughter. She loves me too. Your daughter cannot sleep without me..

She needs me to fill every hole.... in her heart... Apdi nu solluven...

Suhasini: Dirty... Gangster...

He giggled...

Adi: I said heart... It was you who is thinking dirty...

Never mind... I'm anyways ready to fill...

Suhasini: Shut up... Not here... Please...

She begged him. He liked her expression. He looked at his brother who was being lovey dovey with his wife.

Empress adjusted her voice to grab their attention. Her grandsons were really wife-dotting-husbands. She then looked at the new couple. She believed in Ranjan to change her grumpy grand-daughter.

Empress: The wedding will commence on next Sunday.

Oorvashi was shocked. Ranjan held her hand. Her heart was suddenly filled with warmth. She still had her doubts. But that moment felt good.
