While Aakash stepped out of the lobby, a guy fell before his beat, being beaten black and blue. Whole college gathered there, while someone ran to call the Principal.
There, she was, his lioness. She pulled the boy up by his collar and slapped him hardly, while that boy was pleading to leave him. Professors were there but none tried to stop her.
Meanwhile, the Correspondent came since he had dismissed the Principal. He got shocked to see the scenario in front of Aakash.
Cor mv: adutha aapu namaku than pola!
He rushed to Shruti and pulled her from the boy.
Cor: What the hell is happening, Shruti! This behaviour is not accepted at all in the college campus. Ask your brother to come and collect your TC.
Aak: Mr Kalidasan, ippadi than visarikamale action edupingala?
Cor mv: aiyo avasara patu over scene potiye da. Ippo enna solli samalikurathu?
That's when Shruti noticed Aakash. Though he was wearing mask and coolers, can't she identify her love? She narrowed her eyebrows at him.
Shr: atha solla neenga yaru? Ivaru enga college Correspondent. Ithu enga college matter ithula neenga thalaiyidathinga. He knows how to do justification.
Cor mv: aiyaiyo thera iluthu theruvula vidurale!
Cor: ammadi, Shruti, en mela than ma thappu. Naan visarichurukanum. Nee ennaikume thappu panna matiye. Why did you beat this guy like this? Ivan parents kum college kum enna bathil ma solrathu?
Shr: ivan than, Sir, namma college ponnoda parents ku bathil sollanum. Sports meetku vanthome velayandoma ponomanu illama. Namma college ponnu sports dress change pannum bothu video eduthu blackmail pannirukan. Poruki naai!
Cor: WHAT! Ivanalem adiyoda vida koodathu, antha bastard ah...
He started with rage but stopped, seeing Aakash.
Aak: call the police and hand over him.
He didn't wait for his reply and left from there, glancing at Shruti once. Shruti looked at Kalidasan, who just nodded his head politely at Aakash. She was confused at his behaviour.
Cor: ivaru vera ippadi sollitu poraru. Ippo police kooptana ippadi adichathu yaarunu ketu Shruti ah yum arrest pannuvangale. Thappa thatti kekurathellam oru kuthama. Aandava inaiku nu pathu than avaru varanuma. Ama first avar ethuku vantharu thidirnu?
Shruti kept her elbow on Kalidasan shoulder, looking at Aakash's car moving out of the campus.
Shr: naan manage panikuran, neenga police ah koopidunga. But yaara nenachu ivlo polamburinga? Yaar avar?
Kali: Aakash Malhotra, namma college MD. Naane eppavo oru thadava educational development meetingla paathen. Appo itha vida chinna paiyan. But enaku eppo pathalum oru mathiri bayam kalantha mariyathai ivaru mela. Ippo Police koopidratha nenacha than bayama iruku.
Shr: neenga etha nenachu bayapaduringa nu puriyuthu. Antha ponna kelvi kepanga nu thana. She should come out of her fear and voice out, Sir. Ippadi ponnunga bayanthute iruntha ellam ithe velaiya than papanunga. And etha pathiyum kavala padathinga. Mr Aakash Malhotra mela bayam kalantha mariyathai iruku nu soningala. I am sure he will handle it smoothly without hurting anyone.
Shruti smiled at him and went to canteen, where her friends were already, discussing something serious. They had recognised Aakash as well. She was about to move to them but a gang stopped her.
Girl 1: hey, Shruti, yen di antha handsome unaku support pannum bothu avara hurt panra mathiri pesuna?
Shr mv: handsome ah? Nee yaru di avara handsome solla? Naane ithu varaikum avanta ippadilam sonnathu illa.

Shr mv: avana da neeyu! Aandava!!
Boy 2: Hey, theriyuma avaru than namma College MD aam. Unkita appadi than Shruti antha sotta thalaiyan sollitu irunthan?
Girl 1: hey, really?! Appo adikadi paakalam.
Shr mv: adikadi ah! Innoru thadava en purushan mela unga yaar kannavathu padatum, kanna nondiran.

Girl 2: semma mass ah irunthuthu unna paaka. Intha juice kudichutu po.

Shr heart: neethan paayasam yaaru kuduthalum kudika maatiye. Unaku than athu pidikathe.

Boy 2: innaiku enna ore zone out agura.
Shr: thookam varuthu da. Naan poi konjam neram hostel ah thoonguran. Bye!
She rushed to her friends without waiting for their reply. They stopped talking abruptly, seeing her and handed over juice for her refreshment.
Shr: guys, naan oru pudhu info solla poren innaiku.
Akila: anga ninnathu anna nu engaluku theriyum di.
Shr: athu illa di! Avar full name kandupidichitan!!
Others: oh.
Shr: enna naan evlo periya vishayam solran oru excitement eh illa unga voice la.
Just then they realised that they had to act like they didn't know anything about Aakash and sat straight looking at her.
Saran: enna sonna ipo?
Shr: avar full name Aakash Malhotra.
Sakthi: Iru naan udane google search panran.
Shr: vendam, Sakthi. Thevaiyum illa. Avar vera entha work um pannala. Avar namma college MD. Namma college matum illa, innum neraya.
Vaishnavi: avlo thanu nee nenaikiriya?
Shr: innum irunthalum avare sollatum. Neenga yaarum ethum therinjuka vendam. Appadiye therinjalum enkita sollirathinga. Even if it is something bad about him. Let him convey to me. Neenga yaarum involve agathinga.
Others sighed and nodded their head. They had their lunch and went to their respective classes, whereas Shruti went to hostel for a short nap due to the pain in her joints.
Meanwhile in the Correspondent room, he was rolling the paper weight while lost in the deep thoughts.
Kali mv: Ippo avaru Shruti ah dismiss panna sonna enna panrathu? College eh kondhalipanungale. Illa Police vanthu antha paiyana arrest pannum pothu avana adichathuku Shruti ah arrest pannalum intha students ah samalika mudiyathu. Antha paiyanoda college la irunthu complaint panna vendamnu solranga. Ippo complaint raise panna periya prachanai agum. Aiyo inaiku en vaazhkailaye oru kevalamana naal. Ippo naan enna than pa panrathu?
Voice: neenga onnum panna vendam ellam naanga paathukurom.
He jerked, hearing the voice and found police men entering his chamber despite attender's request to stay out. He got up from his place.
Pol: Good afternoon, Mr Kalidasan. We are taking that misbehaved guy into our custody. Don't worry, there will be no issues from the accused's parents or college. Just ask the victim girl to give a statement.
Kali: but, sir, naanga ethum complaint raise pannave illaiye.
Pol: we received from some higher authority. We don't know who it is. Might be some VIP. That's why we are doing it delicately. Otherwise our way of approaching would be different.
Kalidasan just asked them to sit and did all the procedures politely, as he understood who was that VIP. Later at evening Irfan dropped Shruti at her house and handed over her medicine.
Irf: olunga poi hot bath eduthutu coffee kudichutu tablet potu rest edu. Inimelavathu intha stunt velalam paakatha.
Shruti nodded with pout and went inside only to find Aakash's car. She looked at the medicine and stuffed that in her bag hurriedly.
Shr mv: ivaru Mumbai pogalaya pa. Ippo tablet pota sikiruvame. Namaku vera tablet poda theriyathu. Namma panra alaparaila veede rendagum. Setha Shruti inaiku nee.
She gulped her saliva and took baby steps towards the house with thirutu muzhi. She heard noise from the kitchen and understood that he was there. So she silently run towards their room, suppressing her painful moans.
Shr: straight ah poi tub la paduthuranum. Enna vali amma!
She kept her bag on her study table unlike she drop always on couch. Vera ethuku ava purushan kita nalla peru eduka than, thitu kamiya vilumnu.
She went inside the restroom to fill the tub with hot water but it was already filled with hot water.
Shr mv: avaru kulika vachuruparo? Paravala ippothaiku namma body ku ithu rompa thevai.
She unstripped her dress and put them in the basket before stepping inside the hot water. She felt heaven and soothing. She leaned against the headrest and closed her eyes, letting her muscles relax.
Aakash smiled, looking at the stairs and resumed making dinner for her by adding pain relieving medicines in it without her knowledge. He made hot chocolate for her and took that to their room.
He waited for sometime and understood she might have slept in the bath tub itself. He went and knocked on the door.
Aak: chellama, thoongunathu podhum seekiram kulichutu vaanga!
She opened her eyes in jerk, hearing his voice and realised that she had slept. She hurriedly applied soap and took hot shower. She went to the closet and wore comfortable night dress before leaving outside.
She found him at balcony and moved to him. She sat on his lap, sensing his silence and took the hot chocolate cups. He gave him one and sipped hers.
He smiled, seeing her try to get along with his silence and didn't initiate any conversation to watch her antics. She stole glances at him while drinking and sighed, seeing him looking everywhere but not her. He didn't even try to hold her waist to keep her from not fallen down.
Shr: Mi, naan first avana warn than pannan. Avan enkitaye thappa pesunan athan light ah...
He raised his eyebrows at her.
Shr: illa konjam athigama than adichan. But enaku avan appadi ketathum control panna mudila, Mi. Katna purushan neeye enna force pannthu illa, avan enna kooptan, Mi. Avaluku bathila nee vaa avala vitaranu sonan. Enaku eppadi irunthurukum.

Aak: ithu good example nu nenaikiria? Ellathukum violence solli tharathu?
Shr: athu violence illa, voice raise panrathu.

Shr: Mi, podhum! Already body pain, neenga brain kum pain vara vachurathinga.

Shr: yen Sir ethume pannathu illaiya? Appadiye ella naalum samathu pullaiya iruka mathiriye bit ah podathinga.
Aak: naan enna di pannan? Etho light ah french kisses and minji pona intha kalutha taste pannitu and intha hip ah touch pannitu vitaran.

Shr: ama appadiye naan nalla irunthuta matum neenga enna kilipinga?
Aak: vaai vaai. Iru first intha vaai ah adakuran!
Saying he grabbed her hairs in his fist and pulled her by waist. She clutched his shirt in reflex and within seconds his lips crashed hers, swallowing her gasp.
She widened her eyes and soon closed when he winked at her. She blushed and he smiled against her lips, before closing his eyes as well and deepening the kiss more passionately.
