'You don't cross my mind, you live in it.'

There was an another knock and this time, it was his assistant, who brought him the dress.

She soon got dressed in the knee length white fit and flare gown. They both came out of the suite.

Suhasini: Adi...

Adi: hmm....

Suhasini: hotel evlo nalla irukku le...

Adi: yeah...

Suhasini: why don't we stay here??

Adi: No...

Suhasini: we can spice up our life... Eppavum veetleiye irukkom le... Oru change ku hotel try pannalam...

She then winked at him. He pinched her cheeks for how ambiguous her words sounded.

Adi: Unaku vaai jaasthi ah pochi...

Suhasini: Please.....

Adi: Nope.. Hotels are not safe...

Suhasini: anniku night mattum nee hotel le stay panniye...

Adi: Thanks to someone.. Adhuku apram dhaan hotel safe illa nu naan decide pannen...

She gulped and acted innocent..

Suhasini: Even I'm also affected...

Adi: I could see...

He then looked at her from head to toe with a mocking look.

She turned her head away and did not talk with him anymore.

------

She was used to him coming home late. But he always returned home everyday. There were few days where she thought that he could have spend time with Monica.

She did not even bother about it and did not ask him anything as she thought that they were an item and they were going to get married eventually once their situation was resolved.

She started concentrating on her business. She almost had everything ready. But they were currently lacking on a proper business plan.

It was getting late on a particular night and she was working on their plan. She was feeling so hungry. So she went to the kitchen.

As it was so late into the night, maids were left to their quarters.

She just found some packs of maggi and she started cooking one for herself.

When Adi entered the home, a smell wafted his nose and he looked towards the kitchen. He was continuously busy with the conference which was going to be held by the next month.

He then saw suhasini sitting on dining table and having something.

Adi: What are you doing at this time??

Suhasini: I was working earlier. I suddenly felt hungry... Adhan..

Adi: Maids yaarum illaye... Enna panne??? You don't know to cook right??

Suhasini: hey I know to cook Maggi...

Adi: What is it??

Suhasini: Maggi ah va ennadhu nu kette?? Its maggi man.. Everyone's favorite.. Country's favorite..

Adi: oh.. Instant noodles??? They are junk food... They should be banned..

I will pass a notice to the company to get them banned...

Suhasini: Yow Adi no... Please....

You are my sweet purushan right??? No... Don't get it banned...

He then stopped walking and turned...

Suhasini: Nee veanumna try panni paaru... Ore oru vaati...

I finished this one..

I will get you a new one..

She soon made another bowl of maggi and placed it front of him..

Adi: I don't eat junk food.. Enaku veandom...

But it looked appetizing when she ate it..

So he took a mouthful.. In a flash, he finished the bowl..

Adi: Surprisingly it tastes good..

Suhasini: Sonnen le... Don't get it banned.. Please...

Adi: okay I wont...

He smiled at her and proceeded upstairs. He changed his dress and settled on the couch but there was no trace of her.

He then came down to check on her.. She was working on something in the living area.

Adi: what are you doing this late at night??

Suhasini: I am just working on some plans for my boutique. Ana edhuvume sariya varale Adi...

Adi: Let me take a look...

He then looked at all the papers she gave him.

Adi: This is just a small thing... idhuka ivlo kashtam?? But I can understand with the your level of dumbness, this is a very big deal...

She fumed: unnai kupten le.. Ennai sollanum...

Adi: Sari go and bring my laptop from study...

She brought him his laptop.. He worked on it for sometime..

Adi: Here is your plan.... See... This will help you to get you through initial year.. When it picks up, we can switch gears...

She smiled from ear to ear...

Suhasini: Thank you Adi...

Adi: just a thanks.. Boring...

Suhasini: Then what do you want???

Adi: cook me something when you get time...

Suhasini: enaku theriyadhe..

Adi: follow the recipe.. Make something.. I will eat it as long as it is edible..

Suhasini: you think I'm so dumb...

Adi: illaya pinna??? You knew well that your chithi family will make fun of you if you attend that function.. Still you attended..

Suhasini: It was not for them...

Adi: oh its that amul baby then... What do you really see in him??

Suhasini: ini Enna paathu Enna aaga podhu?? Everyone does not have the luxury to have their lover with them as you do...

He glared at her... She laughed at him..

Adi: tell me something... are you really hiding your identity just because you are a princess or is there any other reason??

Suhasini: Adhuva??? Actually Kala stole few of my early designs and started History...

Appo naan nenaichen.. I should make a name for myself.. Ennai paakamale en designs mattum paathale Idhu naan design pannadhu nu sollanum nu... Adhu kooda indha reason um sendhuruchi...

Adi: You are not that much dumb.. Unakullaiyum edho irukku...

Suhasini: Hey adi...

Even though he made fun of her, he could see how determined and convicted she was towards her goal.

He received a call at that time and it was Monica...

He shook his head and answered it.

Monica: Adi... Can you come to my home???

Adi: at this time??? This is too late...

Monica: No... I'm in danger.. Please come and save me..

Adi cut the call and left the home.. Suhasini knew it was monica and she did not bother with her activities as long as it did not affect her.

------

Adi reached her home. She lived three blocks away from him. She moved here to stay close with him.

He entered her house and found everything scrambled on the floor..

Adi: What happened??

Monica: I was burgled.. I found everything on the floor when I reached home..

Adi: Monica.. Yean ipdi pandre???

Monica: Enna soldre??

Adi: All your expensive jewellery, money are scattered around the floor.. If there is a burglar, he would have took everything with him when he left.. Why are you doing like this???

Monica: I'm sorry Adi... Please don't mistake me.. I'm not able to accept the fact that you guys are living together..

I know you cannot touch her.. But still it hurts me..

Enaku nenaivu Therinja naal le irundhu naan nee mattum dhaan en life nu irukken.. Un kai kooda pidika mudiyadhu ennale.. Still I stayed with you.. But this is hurting me deeply.. I'm not able to see you with another girl...

I'm so scared to live here alone... I cannot go back to my parents.. I fought with them as they were forcing me to get married.

She then leaned on him.. And started crying.. Her words moved him deeply. It was true. She stayed with him through thick and thin and it was really unfair to her.

He felt unease and he wanted to push her away.. But he was not able to bring himself to push her..

Adi: okay.. Don't cry... You can move to my farm house.. I will tell the driver to take you away.. Pick your luggage and go there...

She then understood his illness and stood away.. She nodded her head in response.

He swiftly left her place and went to Kishore's place.. He removed his shirt on the car as it had her tears and snort.. He felt so disgusted.

Kishore: wow your highness.. What happened to you??? Having rashes all over.. And running shirtless in night???

Adi scowled at him..

Kishore: you are having reaction...

First lady kooda irundha vandhuchi???

Adi: Nope.. It was monica...

Kishore: Enjoy pandringa King...

Adi: Do you wish to work anymore??

If yes, close your mouth and do your job..

He then started treating him...

Kishore: sari how is it going with first lady?? Any improvement??

Adi: How do I know??

Kishore: Don't tell me you guys didn't do anything...

Adi just looked at him...

Kishore: I expected you would do something.. She is your wife man..

Adi: yeah.. But she is not a tool.. I cannot use her for my whim..

Kishore: then epdi dhaan unga illness ku vazhi kandupidikradhu manna???

Adi: adhuku dhaane Unaku salary tharen... You do it..

Kishore gestured his lips to be zipped..

Adi: But I have different issue these days with my body...

Kishore: what is it??

Adi: I feel something when I get close to her...

Kishore: yaaru monica va??

Adi: you are definitely going to get fired.. I'm talking about my wife..

Kishore: oh.. your wife...

He smiled at Adi..

Adi: palle pethuruven...

Kishore: sari no more pun...

Adi: I feel something strange...

Kishore: good strange or bad strange??

Adi: I don't know..

Kishore: How does it make you feel??

Adi: I wish to touch her.. Andha maari feel aagudhu...

Kishore: Then we need to work more on that.. Tell me the circumstances you felt to touch her..

Adi thought about the scene on restroom where she slept and slipped on the bathtub but he did not want to share it with kishore as he felt it was intimate and it was something between them..

Adi: there are times.. Circumstances ellam gnabagam varale..

Kishore: then tell me when you feel so next time..

Adi nodded and took his coat..

Kishore: where are you going?? Stay here tonight.. I don't think your rashes are settled..

Prime minister needs to maintain his face and figure right??? It may flare up again.. So stay overnight..

------

She saw the time on the clock and he was yet to return home. She slept after sometime..

She did not find him on the couch in the morning. She then received a call.

Suhasini: Sollu da Rohitey...

Rohit: thalaivi Neenga paakanum sonninga le??? Andha pazhaiya embroidery artist??

Suhasini: Ama... My guru... Harishvardhan ah??

Rohit: yes.. He came to m city... 3 naal Anga dhaan irupparam...

Suhasini: wow.. Naama poi paathe aaganume...

Rohit: Ama thalaivi... I even booked a bus ticket for us..

Suhasini: okay I will come...

She then got ready and left the house after informing the maids.

Adi returned by ten and the house was empty..

Adi: Where is madam??

Maid: Your highness.. She left home by 8. She is going to meet some embroidery artist... Naalaiku vandhuruven nu sonnanga.. Ungalku call pannaa pogale nu sonnanga..

Adi: oh..

He remembered that she once told him that artist was her inspiration. He then lazily walked towards his room.

They both have so many barriers to break.. Will they break?? Will they overcome all their barriers?? Let's see in the future..
