'I'm there waiting, watching, keeping to the shadows
But when you need me, I'll step out of the shadow and protect what's mine.'

Adi got recovered from his wounds. He resumed office pretty soon. Suhasini was also busy with MAGIC as it was doing a great business.

Fashion week was announced in F country. It also collided with Adi and Suhasini's tour.

Adi: I will not be coming to this tour baby...

Suhasini: Idhu dhaane first tour...???

She looked at him with her puppy eyes...

Adi: yeah.. But I resumed office two days back only.. So you will be going alone..

Suhasini: I have never gone to any country out of Z. You are telling me to go alone..

Adi: you are not a commoner anymore.. You're this country's first woman.. You will be respected and treated well.. Don't worry...

3 days dhaane... I know you wish to attend F country's fashion week.. Illana unnai thaniya anuppa matten...

Do you think I can be without you??...

Suhasini: hmm.... Will you be fine?? Nee epdi iruppe?? Unaku innum kaayam sariya aara kooda illa...

Adi: I will take care.. You attend this event.. Unaku veanumna take your people with you...

Suhasini: Prerna and Rohit ah???

Adi: yes... They cannot travel with you.. But I can arrange for their flights and accommodation..

They can attend the event representing your brand..

Suhasini: Wow.. Can you do that???

Adi: Yes I can.. But with a condition...

Suhasini: Enna condition??

Adi: you should not find any guy there...

Suhasini: I will not.. Unnai eh ennale samalika mudiyale..

Adi: innum naan unnai onnume pannale di...

Suhasini: That night is imprinted in my mind so clearly...

Adi: Ha ha ha ha ha Apdiya??? Enga Sollu.. Keppom..

She slapped her head lightly for her thoughtless blabbering.

Suhasini: Naan sonnadhe marandhuru...

Adi: Matten... You come here...

Suhasini: vara matten... Ippo dhaan nee nalla paiyana irukke...

Adi: appo Prerna Rohit tickets marandhuru...

She jumped and hopped towards him and hugged him...

Suhasini: Adi... Baby... Please...

Adi: You money-grubber...

Give me something....

He said as he showed his cheek..

Suhasini: you are so corrupted...

She then pecked on his cheek.

Suhasini left for F country in the private jet. Her accommodation was made in one of the prestigious hotels in the country.

As promised, Adi got Prerna and Rohit their tickets and accommodation in the adjacent hotel to her.

They were on their way to F country. Suhasini called Adi, once she settled herself in the room.

Adi: reached???

Suhasini: yeah....

Adi: settled???....

Suhasini: hmm....

Adi: Enna hmm le oru swarame illa...

Suhasini: Theriyale edho maari irukku...

Adi: Miss pandriya Hasini??

Her heart said yes... But she didn't want to voice out. Because she knew if she said, he would stand before her in few hours.

Suhasini: Theriyale...

Adi: Don't worry... I will come there in two days... Our trip will be extended.. I just sent you ahead to enjoy the event..

Suhasini: Is that so??? Wow.. Eppo varuve??

Adi smiled...

Adi: pretty soon...

Suhasini: SHITTTT....

Adi: What happened???

He waited a minute for her answer..

Suhasini: Periods... Kaduppu.. Ippo dhaan vandhen..

You don't worry.. I will manage..

Adi: you have everything with you right?? All supplies??

Suhasini: yeah.. Unaku office time aachi le... I will call you later... Bye...

Adi: Bye.. Take care..

Suhasini: Don't forget to miss me??

Adi: How can I?? When all my thoughts are around you...

Suhasini: So cheesy..

Adi: Then why are you blushing??

Suhasini: How did you find out??

She touched her cheeks as she asked him..

Adi: I know everything about you... I can even say whatever you are wearing..

Suhasini: you dirty gangster.. Phone vei... Naughty...

She then cut the call...

-----

Prerna and Rohit reached soon. They planned to go out the next day...

Suhasini came back to her room after visiting them. Her itinerary was pretty much empty for the day as she had all the state tours only after Adi's arrival.

She slept to escape from the cramps. She would have slept for around 6 hours. She then slightly noticed some movement in her room.

She wriggled herself in the bed and noticed that lights were switched off. She was too scared to even whisper. She then slowly switched on the lights.

Suhasini: Adi....

She then jumped on him..

He wiped her sweat and asked her..

Adi: Bayandhutiya??

Suhasini: Solla mattiya varen nu... Evlo bayandhuten theriyuma...

Adi: Sari naan appo pogava??

Suhasini: veandom veandom.. Iru...

Suhasini: appo evlo neram iruppe inga??

Adi: two hours...

Suhasini: ohh...

Adi: Adhu varaikum en melaiye iruppiya??

She then only realized and got down from him..

Adi: I wanted to see you.. Periods nu sonniye.. pudhu idam vera...

He said as he sat down on the bed. She didn't turn around... He then slowly pulled her towards him..

Adi: Enna aachi ma??

Suhasini: Don't be this good to me Adi... You are hurt.. Ennai thooka kooda mudiyale.. Avlo vali irukku.. Ana enaku periods nu ivlo dhooram odi vare...

En manasu ku idhellam yethukka mudiyale..

He cupped her face in his hands as he wiped her tears..

Suhasini: enaku idhellam pazhagirumo nu Bayama irukku Adi.. Ipdi pannadhe..

Adi: hey paappa... Yean di azhare??

Suhasini: you are making me... Unnai yaar ipdi irukka sonna??

She nodded her head as she smiled...

Suhasini: you look good in casuals.. Ana yean casuals??

Adi: I cannot sneak out wearing suit right??

Suhasini: Appo thiruttu thanama vandhiya??

Adi: Ama.. Enna??

She giggled..

Suhasini: illa.. Ipdi ellam thiruttu thanama love pandravanga pannuvanga... Namma ellam reverse le pandroma, Adhan sirippu vandhuruchi...

Adi: Unaku kashtama irundhuchi na Sollu.. I can be your husband and do something you wish...

Suhasini: who is wishing?? You naughty.. Enna nenaichalum ippo edhuvum panna mudiyadhu...

Adi: yaaro inga dirty ah yosikranga polave... Naan adhe mean pannaleiye..

Suhasini: you...... You are putting words in my mouth...

Adi: ha ha ha ha ha ha..

He hugged her tightly...

Adi: unnai vittu irukka mudiyale de Hasini...

She reciprocated his embrace by tightening her arms around him..

Kala called the guy she hired to spy on Suhasini..

Kala: did you get anything??

She pushed him out of her suite..

Suhasini: Prime minister who abstains from public display of affection is asking me an hug..

Adi: en pondati kitte dhaane kekuren.. So no problem.. Neraiya pesadhe vaa..

She hugged him as she tiptoed.. They both didn't know that they both were captured in a picture...

Nathan: Sir, there seems to be a plan to sabotage Madam's name...

Adi: Yaar pandra Nathan???

Adi asked cheerfully...

Nathan: It seems to be someone related to HISTORY...

Adi: Let's play dirty... Romba naal aachi... Pazhaiya politics panni...

Nathan smiled...

Nathan: As you say sir...
