Nithya went to her room and thought for a while. Whatever Raghav told her, was very true and practical. She was confused before talking to him, but he made the situation crystal clear for her.

Nithya went to sleep, after two days she was able to sleep peacefully.
Next morning, she woke up at 7:30 AM and went to the hall. Her parents were having coffee. Tharani was able to find out from Nithya's fresh face that she was back to normal and she had cleared up her mind.

"Good morning maa, good morning pa." She greeted them enthusiastically.

"Good morning da! How are you feeling now?" Tharani asked her.

"Relieved!!" Nithya smiled.

"What happened da?" Subash asked her, as he was unaware of the previous day mom and daughter conversation.

"I was confused about something, but now I've made up my mind appa." Nithya replied confidently.

"What's that?" He asked her curiously.

"Just a minute, I'll be back." Nithya told and rushed to the refrigerator. She opened the fridge and took out two chocolates and went back to her parents.

"Have this!" She offered the chocolate.

"Why suddenly, any good news?" Subash asked her as he picked a chocolate from her hand.

"Yes Appa! I've scored 92% in my exams." She told them and her parents were so happy to hear it. Tharani hugged Nithya and kissed her cheeks.

"I'm so happy da! You never fail to make us proud." Subhash told her as he teared up. Nithya went forward and hugged her dad.

"Were you tensed because of your results?" Tharani asked Nithya.

"No Amma.."

"Then why were you upset da?"

"Leave all that! I sorted it out and no need to discuss about it anymore." Nithya told them firmly as she did not want to inform her parents about the offer she had got. If she did, they would definitely tell her to accept it and move back to US.

"If you have sorted it out and happy, then we have no issues with that." Subash told her and Nithya smiled.

They three spoke for sometime and had breakfast. Nithya wanted to inform about her decision to Raghav. She called him, but he did not attend her call. So she thought of meeting him in person.

As she was about to enter his block, she found him in the parking area, getting down from his car.

"Hey Nithya!" Raghav smiled at her.

"Hi Raghav, I came here to meet you." She replied.

"Oh wow! The great Doctor Nithya, has come to meet me!"

"Raghav...."

"Tell me, what made you to come here?"

"We spoke last night right, I made my decision."

"Really! What have you decided?" He asked her as he leaned on his car.

"I'm flying to US on tenth." Nithya told him with a smile.

"Wow! What did your parents say? Are they coming with you?"

"They were so happy. They are staying here, I'm only going there."

"Will you be able to manage Nithya? Because you told me yesterday that you cannot stay without your parents..."

"Just for a week na, so I didn't want to trouble them."

"For a week?"

"Yeah ."

"Are you not going there to practice?"

"What? No Raghav, I'm gonna work here only. "

"Can you please tell me clearly? Once you are saying that you're flying to US and now you are saying that you're gonna practice in India."

"Both are true Raghav!"

"Huh?"

"I'm flying to US for a week to collect my certificates and meet my friends and then, I'm gonna start practicing here. Are you clear now?"

"Ahh okay! You should have told me clearly."

"You should have the patience to listen to me carefully!" She argued. They both spoke for a while and got back to their homes.

Nithya went to US and spent some time with her friends. She came back to India the previous day, and was scrolling through the Instagram. That's when she spotted a post of Sindhu.

Happy Birthday Buddy 🥳

Immediately, Nithya took out her mobile and called Raghav, she felt bad for not asking about his birthday date earlier.

Raghav was talking with his mom, while he received her call.

"Wish you many more happy returns of the day Raghav" Nithya wished him.

"Hey! Thank you so much Nithya!" Raghav thanked her with a smile.

"I'm sorry for the late wish, just now I got to know that today is your birthday..."

"Aww it's okay Nithya! I'm happy that you wished me."

"So what plans today?"

"Just like every other year, planned to hang out and relax with friends."

"Wow that's good! Have a great day Raghav!"

"Haha! Thanks again"

"Okay then.. I'll hang up now.." Nithya was about to cut the call but she was stopped by him.

"Nithya one second!!"

"Yes Raghav?!"

"Are you free today?"

"Hmm yes..."

"Then why don't you join us?"

"Me? You are going out with your friends..."

"Are you not my friend?"

"Yes...but..."

"Birthday wish?!"

"Okay I'll come!" Nithya agreed finally.

"I'll be leaving from here in an hour, you get ready by then and let's go together." Raghav informed the plan.

"Okay Raghav! I hope your friends don't mind if I join you.."

"They won't!" Raghav smiled and ended the call.

Here Nithya was so excited and she wanted to gift Raghav something, but the time left for her was very less. She quickly decided and went out to buy a gift.

Once she bought her gift, she got ready for the outing.

She reached the parking slot and found Raghav waiting for her.

"Happy Birthday Raghav!" She shook hands with him.

"Thank you medico." He chuckled.

"Did I make you wait for a long time?"

"No ma, we just came here." A voice was heard from the car. Nithya looked through the window and found Sharadha sitting inside the car.

"Hi aunty, I didn't notice you." Nithya told her.

"It's okay da!" Sharadha replied.

Raghav got a call from Vicky and he cut it immediately.

"Shall we leave? I guess Vicky has reached there." Raghav informed.

"Okay Raghav." Nithya smiled and got into the car and sat next to his mother.

Sharadha and Nithya were talking while Raghav was concentrating on the road.

They reached a beach resort. As the car stopped, Yazhini ran towards the car. Raghav came out of the car and immediately she hugged him tight..

"Happy birthday Anna!!" Yazhini wished him excitedly.

"Thank you darling. Where is Aravind?" Raghav replied her.

"Not just Aravind, Vicky Anna, Shravan Anna, Anitha and Sindhu are also waiting for you." Yazhini replied.

"Okay da, I'll park the car and come. Amma, Nithya, you both go inside with Yazhini, I'll come in a while."

They both got down from the car and went inside the resort.

"Yazhu, this is Nithya, Sindhu's sister." Sharadha introduced Nithya to Yazhini.

"Hi medico!" Yazhini told and Nithya was surprised to hear her calling medico.

"Hii.. how did you know that I'm medico?" Nithya asked Yazhini.

"Raghav Anna told me!" Yazhini replied.

"Really?"

"Yes and even Sindhu had told about you." She added.

They all reached the restaurant and other friends were waiting there.

"Hi di, you didn't tell me you're coming here?" Sindhu asked Nithya.

"Last minute plan Sindhu, that's why I couldn't tell you." Nithya replied.

Sindhu introduced Nithya to Vicky and Anitha as they're meeting her for the first time.

"Hey we both have spoke over phone right?" Vicky asked Nithya which shocked Anitha.

"Yes yes." Nithya smiled.

"When did you both talk?" Sindhu asked.

"I had called Raghav when aunty was sick, that's when I spoke to Vicky also." Nithya told while Vicky held his ears and apologized to Anitha for not telling her about this.

Raghav came there after parking his car. Everyone wished him and cut the cake.

Nithya enjoyed a lot and she was very happy to make new friends.  She had very less friends in Chennai, now because of Raghav, she met new people.

Sharadha was talking with others while Raghav was sitting near the beach. Nithya walked towards him, with her gift.

"A small gift for you." She handed the gift and sat next to him.

"Hey no need for this.." Raghav hesitated.

"It's a very small gift yaar. "

"Okay.." he opened the gift and found a beautiful diary set.

"I couldn't find a better gift for you other than this." Nithya told him.

"Thanks a lot Nithya. I'd never forget this gift." Raghav told her.

"Can I tell you something?" Nithya asked him.

"Yes?"

"When you told me that you're hanging out with friends,  I never expected aunty would also come with us."

"Do you know who is my best friend? Amma... More than Vicky or Sindhu,Amma is my bestest friend." Raghav told her smiling.

"Awww. That's so sweet!!" Nithya replied.
