'If I know what love is, it is because of you.'

Next day, the news was released to the press.

The Second prince of our country is getting engaged to his lady love.

Everyone was happy except Prerna's Step dad and Vijay.

Empress asked them to move back to palace as there might be chance for scandal. Eeshwar also readily agreed to the condition set by his grandmother due to the impending election.

His conglomerate paid huge sum for canvassing. Adi's PR team was working tirelessly in analysing each and every wards and states of the nation.

They had a huge head ache ahead in the form of Rajeev. He wasn't actively participating in any party or election. But he supported few parties behind the screen financially just to bring Adi down..

Due to his money-crisis, he stayed low and did the help he could rather than active participation. Adi planned to seal this election to ensure the results of general election.

-------

3 months later....

Magic...

The store was so active... Their spring collection received positive reviews from the critics as well as the buyers. Suhasini was working with country's top most ladies and impressed them with her designs.. Sathyakala's project really did turn out as a big hit. Sia's name became a common topic discussed among the elite ladies. Rajeev was also trying to find this mysterious Sia. But he failed to find her actual identity. She even became his obsession after their spring collection. He was yet to realise that his attempts were in vain.

History was running smoothly and they were also showing good results. But they always ended up as second in sales. Both the brands were working towards the fashion event of the year which was about to happen in a month..

Prerna: Queen madam...

Suhasini: Innum Enna queen madam?? Ippo neengalum part of the palace dhaane??

You are even attending events with Second prince..

Prerna: Sari boss madam...

Suhasini: udane thiruppiduviye..

Prerna: keka vida mattengriye..

Suhasini: Ask.. Ask..

Prerna: What is the plan for your anniversary?? Isn't it this month??

Suhasini: yes.. In 10 days.. Haven't planned anything..

Adi is busy with elections and canvassing.. He is constantly traveling.. naanga rendu per olunga pesiye 2 vaaram aachi..

Prerna: Come here...

She hugged her and said...

Prerna: Don't you worry my dear.. He will come back.. Eeshwar is also working day and night with these PR managers and associates to help brother-in-law..

But I know, he will come back for your wedding anniversary...

Rohit entered the studio at that time..

Rohit: Ama thalaivi ungalku wedding day varudhu le... Niyaya padi paatha inniku dhaane naama hotel ponom pendrive edukka...

Suhasini: odiru Rohitey... Kai le maatuna odhaippen..

Rohit: Sikka maateney...

He ran out of the studio.. Suhasini remembered everything from the first time they met.

Adi was so warm and good to her. She did not even recollect their conversation from that evening properly. But she remembered the feeling she felt as she talked with him.. She felt safe and secure.. This might be the reason which would have led towards that night.. She jerked herself from that thought painfully and realised she missed her husband terribly..

-------

Suhasini reached home and used her brain to plan something for their anniversary. But nothing useful came out at that moment..

She thought of calling him. He was about to return by the next day. Last call between them lasted only a minute..

She called his number. It rang for a long time without any reply from the other end and she tried again. The call was connected this time.

Suhasini: Hello.. Adi...

Nathan: Sorry Ma'am.. Sir is in meeting with council members.

Suhasini: Thank you uncle.. Inform him that I called him..

Nathan: Sure Ma'am..

She then had an idea and sent him a voice note..

Adi finished his meeting and came out of the boardroom. He stayed in their party office in that state for 5 days. This visit gave him a chance to personally connect with the people. This particular state was filled with mountains. Hence the travel between the regions were quite rough.

More than any of that, he was excited to go back home on the next day.

Nathan handed over his phone once he stepped out.

Nathan: Sir, Ma'am called you and asked you to call back once you finish your meeting..

Adi: Thank you Nathan...

He nodded his head as he walked ahead.. He then noticed a notification in his phone.. It was an audio note from his wife.

He turned towards Nathan as he gestured him to give his airpods..

He played the voice note with airpods on.. Her beautiful voice flowed through that pods..

Mudhalvanae ennai kan paaraai
Mundhaanai kodiyettra neram illaiyaa
Oh kaadhal panjam vandhu nondhenae m
Muththa nivaaranam enakillaiyaa
Vaalin osai ketkkum thalaivaa
Valaiyalosai ketkkavillaiyaa…
Mudhalvaa …mudhalvaa

His face beamed with a huge smile.. He then looked at Nathan..

Adi: Nathan.. We are going back home..

He received another note at that time.. Same melodious voice came back to hit him again...

Konja neram odhukki koondhal odhukki
Kurippu ezhundhungal endhan tholil

Her voice expressed her yearning like a mirror... He replied her this time...

Peeli ondrai yedhuthu thaenil nanaithu
Kaiyoppam iduven undhan maarbil

Suhasini was elated when her phone chimed.. She felt like heaven when she heard his voice on the note. She was more excited when she listened to his singing.. They continued sending voice notes to each other..

Suhasini: Ulagham vaazha nidhi odhukku
En uyirum vaazha madhi odhukku

Adi: Arasan vaazha vidhi irukku
Adharku needhaan vidhi vilakku

Suhasini: Mannanae… mannanae
Idho ival unakku….

She sent him that voice note and didn't receive anything again. She even tried calling his number and it was switched off.

After an hour, her door bell rang.. She ran like a kitten towards the door... She was extremely pleased when she saw him at the door.. She jumped on him... Instead of talking, she continued her singing..

Suhasini: Pallivaasal thirandhaai palli thirandhaai
Palliyarai vara neramillaiyaa

Adi: Oh ooradangu thalarthi varigal thalarthi
Udaigal thalarthida vendum illaiyaa

Suhasini: Aasai poovai thavikka vittu
Amaicharodu nagarvalamo

Adi: Unadhu kannil neer thudaithaal
Oorkkuzhaayil neer varumo

Suhasini: Vendhanae vendhanae
Undhan varam varumo

Suhasini: Mudhalvanae ennai kan paaraai
Mundhaanai kodi yettra neram illaiyaa

Adi: Hey

Suhasini: Kaadhal panjam vandhu

Adi: Nondhaaiyo

Suhasini: Muththa nivaaranam

Adi: Unnaku alippan

Suhasini: Vaalin osai

Adi: Theerum bodhu

Suhasini: Valaiyal osai

Adi: Ketkkavaruven

Suhasini: Ha ha ha ha ha.. I never knew you could sing well...

Adi: En teacher apdi...

Suhasini: Apdiya??? Yaar adhu???

He walked towards the mirror with her in his arms...

Adi: Andha kannadi le theriyura andha ponnu dhaan adhu...

Suhasini: you talk so well sometimes that I really forget that I was angry on you...

Adi: en thangame... Enna kovam Unaku??

Suhasini: nee country nu pona Ennai marandhudre... En gnabagame illa Unaku..

Adi: There will not be a day where I don't remember you in my life jaan.. I was busy missing you.. I was busy thinking you... I was busy yearning for your touch.. I was busy yearning for your giggles and smiles...

She hugged him tighter...

Suhasini: Mela pesadhe.. Apram enaku azhai varum...

He kissed her cheeks...

Suhasini: Pasikudha???

Adi: yes.. Romba...

Suhasini: let's go to kitchen...

There was nothing left as it was past dinner time..

Suhasini: edhuvume illa Adi...

Adi: can you cook your instant noodles for me???

Suhasini: Maggi ah???

Adi: hmmmm....

She made him a cup of noodles and sat down with him...

Suhasini: Sometimes I really wish to keep you only for myself.. But I cannot be selfish right???

Adi: I'm yours jaan... Until I breath my last... I'll always be yours..

She hugged him as tears rolled down her cheeks...
