'A real man stands up for and defends the woman he loves.'
Adi reached the city day before as he promised. But suhasini stayed so busy in planning the tea party. She ordered everything extravagantly to match royalty.
Madhana helped her with the planning but she still had doubts on many of the things. Prerna and Eeshwar were busy in organizing their anniversary party. She did not want to disturb Adi as he returned exhausted from his tour.
She was almost running around the palace to get things done. She was walking down the corridor. Adi suddenly pulled her into a chamber..
Suhasini: Hey Adi.. What are you doing?? Daytime it is??
Adi: Kaadhaluku pagal aachi raathri aachi...
Suhasini: Aahaahaa.. Do your campaign outside.. Don't do it with me..
Adi: Ha ha ha ha ha ha.. Do you know how much I was waiting to meet you?? And here you are running around the palace.. You are not even looking at my face..
Suhasini: Sorry baby.. Even I'm dying to spend sometime with you.. But what to do?? I have to host this party.. Hence I have to plan it..
You know what, they are really tiresome.. Look at this notebook.. I have already marked everything and ordered everything.. But I'm so worried...
Adi: Let's deal with it sometime later.. This is my bribe time..
Suhasini: You naughty gangster.. Stay away.. We are not newly married anymore..
Adi: enaku nee eppavum pudhusu dhaan di...
He kissed her this time by holding her between the door and wall... They kissed like there was no tomorrow.. They expressed their feelings through that kiss. Time went by without their notice..
Suhasini: paaru... Unnale time aayiruchi...
Adi: Give me your note book..
She handed him the note..
He then made few calls..
Adi: Here it is.. All done..
Suhasini: Just like that??
Adi: yes.. You have to be smarter to get things done..
Suhasini: who said I'm dumb?? Didn't I make you do my job??
Adi looked at her admiringly...
Adi: You have really grown.. Peeppa...
Suhasini: Yaare peeppa sonne??? Konnuruven unnai..
She started hitting him...
Adi: Podhum ma...
Suhasini: Sari.. I will go and check the decorations in the hall.. Please baby...
Adi: Night room ku dhaane varanum??
Suhasini: Ha ha ha ha ha.. Peeppa nu sonne le.. Veliya dhaan iru...
Adi: Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha..
She left the chamber with a smile on her face. His presence changed everything in her. Days became more brighter and happier when he was around.
--------
She reached their chamber at night and looked at Adi who slept soundly. She did not disturb him and laid next to him.
She settled herself in the bed. Suddenly he pulled her towards him. She was shocked at first and then examined his face. He was still sleeping peacefully.
She then understood how vigilant he was even in his sleep. Tiredness got the best of her and she too fell asleep quickly..
------
Suhasini opened her eyes when the curtains were opened. She woke up as she rubbed her eyes.
Adi: Good morning beautiful.. Happy anniversary..
Suhasini: Happy anniversary my dear gangster..
Adi kissed her on her forehead...
Adi: I have a meeting in the morning.. I will be back by 3 in the evening.. You can wind up your tea party then..
Suhasini: Okay.. Come back soon.. I'll be waiting for you...
Adi left for office very early to come back early..
Suhasini also got ready for the big day. Everyone wished her in the morning. Prerna visited her in her chambers.
Prerna: Prepared your present??
Suhasini: yes.. I hope he likes it..
Prerna: Did he ever say no to you??
Suhasini: For that reason, I'm worried. He used to say no to everything in the beginning..
Prerna: Is this a thing to worry?? Will you hate something from brother-in-law?? You will not.. Right?? Don't you worry.. Got things done for party??
Suhasini: Adi did...
She giggled..
Suhasini: Did you get things done??
Prerna: Eeshwar did..
She giggled in response...

Tea party was arranged in the central hall of the common palace. All socialites made a beeline to the party hosted by the first lady of the country.
The hall was themed with a royal backdrop. It looked grand and extravagant. Everyone was in awe when they saw the arrangements.
The tables were filled with delicacies ranging from pastries to smoked salmon. All kinds of teas were served. Drinks were also served on a white wrought iron bar cart which were placed next to each table.
Since it was their anniversary, the theme chosen was King and Queen. Hence crown shaped flower vases were placed in the middle of the table. Snacks ranged from finger sandwiches, salads and biscuits. They were placed in tiers to have a clear visibility. Elegance and royalty exuded in the every part of the party.
All ladies were in awe of Suhasini. They thought that she would embarrass herself. But they did not expect her to be so classy.
Prerna: Brother-in-law did a great job...
She whispered in Suhasini's ears..
Suhasini: scallops and salmon are from him.. Matha ellam naan dhaan pannen..
Prerna: Wow your highness.. I'm impressed..
Madhana: I'm impressed too..
They bowed their heads when they saw the queen and empress making their way towards the hall..
Everyone stood up when they saw Empress attending the party..
Lady 1: Your Majesty, we are honoured by your presence..
Empress nodded her head..
Empress: This is a party hosted by future matriarch.. I need to come.. Isn't it right Madhana??
Madhana: Yes mother..
Suhasini: Your majesty, you humble me..
She said with a gentler tone.. Empress looked at the girl and realized how brazen and rash she was in the beginning..
Empress then smiled at Prerna.
Empress: You young folks carry on.. I will retire to my chamber..
She stopped near Suhasini before leaving..
Empress: you have done a great job my dear.. As expected of you..
Suhasini whispered...
Suhasini: Thank you empress grandma...
Empress then left the hall..
Ladies were murmuring among themselves.. Madhana then noticed Mrs.Mohan who was in the last table.
Madhana: child, Did you invite her??
Suhasini: No Maa.. I actually gave the list to the planner.. May be her name would have been in that list...
Madhana nodded.. Mrs.Mohan was talking with the ladies around her..
Lady: where is Monika?? Why don't we see her??
Mrs.Mohan: She is busy.. Her health is little delicate..
Lady: Don't lie.. She might be embarrassed to attend. After all, she was in relationship with Our Crown Prince. Who expected such thing to happen??
But don't you see?? Crown princess is no lesser to our crown prince.. They match each other so well..
Suhasini was greeting each table and she walked towards the table in which Mrs.Mohan was seated..
Mrs.Mohan: My monika matches Adi.. You can dress up and teach a poor girl.. But her history cannot be erased..
Lady: Don't use such words.. Prince is married to this girl.. They even spent an year together..
Mrs.Mohan: So what?? she is still barren.. She will be replaced when the world knows she can't produce an heir..
Suhasini heard these words..
Madhana: Shut up Mrs.Mohan...
Mrs.Mohan: Your Majesty.. I beg your mercy..
Madhana: When did you become so nosy to interfere in royal affairs??
You are waggling your tongue just because your daughter ran behind my son shamelessly..
My daughter-in-law might have been from humble background.. But she has an heart of gold.. I will share your words with my son.. And let's see what happens to you and your family...
Mrs.Mohan: You are threatening me..
Madhana: You bad-mouthed Crown Princess..
Adi entered the hall at that time..
Adi: Mother...
Madhana then explained him the things happened..
Adi hugged Suhasini in front of everyone..
Adi: are you hurt??
She shook her head.. But he knew she was hurt.. Who wouldn't be..
Adi: I don't know when did my personal life had become a topic to discuss in tea party...
Mrs.Mohan: I'm sorry Adi..
Adi: Mrs.Mohan.. Get out.. You don't deserve to call me by name..
Mrs.Mohan: You are sending me out.. My Monika is...
Adi: I don't know anyone in that name..
He then turned towards everyone..
Adi: If anybody needs an explanation.. I'm married to this woman.. She will only carry my heirs.. I will never touch anyone else even in my dreams..
Come with me...
He held Suhasini's hand and walked.. He stopped by the entrance..
Adi: Guards..
Guard: Your highness...
Adi: Send that lady out.. Nobody from her family will be allowed into royal palace anymore...
Guard: As you command, your highness...
Adi left the hall with Suhasini... Prerna and Madhana then helped the guests. All the ladies were so charmed by the way their Crown Prince defended his wife..
