Recap: Mathi decides to look for a bride for Veera but he lash out on her for that. Kanmani decide to talk to Veera and fix their fight.
***************
Kanmani reached the terrace of Radha's home and looked at her mobile hesitating if she should call Veera or wait until she meet him to clear of everything but foremost she wanted to know his reaction to his mother's decision of finding a bride for him.
After lot of thinking she called Arul who answered in the last ring.
Kanmani: Brother where are you ?
Arul: I came to the market child. Tell me what happened ?
Kanmani: Did you meet Veera ? Does he know about what his mother's decision ?
Arul: He burnt the photos aunty got for him to choose. He dropped me in the market an hour ago and drove to the town. He wanted to be alone for sometime so I let him be.
Kanmani: You should have gone with him brother.
Arul: don't you know what actually he needs now? Talk to him Kanmani. Poor fellow is devastated.
Kanmani: It won't be good to talk over call bro. I will talk to him once he returns from town.
Arul hummed and she cut the call thanking him. She felt happy that Veera took his stand for their marriage. She reached the porch and sat with Radha and Krishnan explaining about her call to Arul.
Krishnan: Let me talk to your aunty. What does she think of herself ? Playing with children's life.
Kanmani: No no, she must be upset with Veera already so let it be and we shall talk later once she cool from everything.
They saw Anika entering with a relaxed face and they could see the clarity of her mind reflecting on her smile.
They were over the moon when Anika announced her wish to return to Ishwar. They were overwhelmed when she asked for permission to leave which showed the love and respect she had for.
Krishnan: We are so happy for you and sure you can go but we want to see you happy with us so can you stay for today and tomorrow you can leave.
Radha: Why do you want to stop her now ? Let her go already.
Kanmani: Maa, Veera is out of town. He will return late or tomorrow so she has to wait until tomorrow to return or she must take a train to return Chennai and that will not be safe.
Anika agreed to leave the next day and hugged Radha kissing her cheek. Kanmani caught Anika's wrist and twirled around in happiness. Anika stopped and pulled Kanmani to her room and they sat next to each other.
Anika: Kanmani, I think you should also consider whatever Radha maa said. Give a chance to Veera bro. Sure he loves you a lot and I can see your love for him from your eyes. I know that I m not the right person to advice on this topic but seriously I did not leave my husband in the doubt of his love for me or my love for him. I know we both love each other and cannot live without each other. Like Radha maa said I was scared of whatever I had to face in reality in our life and may be this little separation would also get him on the right path which will be good for everyone especially for him.
Kanmani: If you loved him so much then why did you leave him ? I saw you crying everytime since you left him.
Anika: I left him because I love him so much and I was scared that I would have hated myself or him. I would rather die than hating him. I can never fall out of love for him or hate him. He is my everything. I cried because I missed him so much and everything only reminded of him. He has become my living reason and I can't do anything without him and same goes to him. We need each other to survive.
Kanmani: I m happy for you Anika. Be happy always. You both are made for each other.
Anika: And you and Veera complete each other Kanmani. Speak to him and try to know what he feels and tell him what you feel. End of the day everything will be fine.
Kanmani: I m happy for you and promise I will speak to Veera. We will fix everything.
Kanmani Mv: Its not like we hate each other. Our problem is entirely different Anika and only his mother could fix this.
Anika and Kanmani hugged and they were disturbed by Arul who barged in carrying amla, mango with chilli powder and salt.
Arul: See I arrived at the right time to get the good news and now lets celebrate.
The trio sat tasting it and Anika was now eating them happily and Kanmani was waiting to meet Veera. That night Radha and Kanmani stayed in Anika's room and in the middle of the night Anika screamed of dreaming something bad.
Krishnan and Radha tired to console her when he confessed that she was feeling something bad happening to Ishwar. After lot of consoling Anika slept holding Radha's pallu.
Morning Anika got dressed and was waiting in the hall. Krishnan had informed Veera to arrive home to take Anika back to Chennai. Veera and Arul arrived at Radha's home and Arul switched on the TV casually like he did every time.
Everyone including Anika froze on hearing the news that the businessman and president of Vincent groups Ishwar Vincent met with an accident. Anika screamed his name and was about to fall down but Kanmani and Arul caught her on time. She cried hitting her head and everyone consoled her reading the complete news that he is doing fine and it was only a minor accident.
Everyone felt their heart shattering to see Anika crying for Ishwar. Krishnan let Veera start the their journey immediately.
Radha consoled her and Veera started the car and everyone bade her bye. Anika leaned on Kanmani's shoulder crying while Veera drove to Chennai
Kanmani wiped her own tears unable to console Anika who was still crying. Veera didn't speak a word as he knew none of his words would console the poor soul. After long hours Anika fell asleep on Kanmani's shoulder and Kanmani took the chance and sent the message to Jerry that they were on way to Chennai with Anika and that she was crying on watching the news.
Jerry replied that they should stay at their hotel for the night to rest and later decide on returning to village. It was late evening when they reached Chennai and Veera stopped the car before Ishwar's mansion and Anika got down along with Kanmani.
Anika: Both of you should come inside with me please...
Kanmani: No Anika, first you go and fix everything. We will meet you sometime later. Don't forget to call me. You are always my sister.
Veera: Everything will be fine Anika, just give him chance to speak his side. I will pray that everything gets resolved for you. Be happy forever.
Kanmani hugged Anika and sat in the passenger seat. Veera started driving without looking at her and she cleared her throat.
Kanmani: Jerry brother has arranged for our stay in their hotel to rest for the night.
Veera stayed mute and drove to the hotel. The manager who knew them already welcomed them and lead them to the room. They thanked him and Kanmani closed the door behind. Veera entered one of the room and closed the door behind and Kanmani felt disappointed. She took the other room and refreshed quickly to meet Veera. When she came out Manager and one of the staff was placing the dinner on the table. Once they left Veera closed the door and was about to sit down for dinner but Kanmani stopped him.
Kanmani: Veera, namma konjam pesalama ? ( Veera, shall we talk now ?
Veera: I m all ears.
Kanmani: I m sorry Veera for hurting you.
Veera: Ohh so you finally realized that you hurt me is it ? Did you realize how many days I have been coming behind you ? What I was going through all these days ? You won't talk to me and my mother is so adamant on finding a bride for me. I was running behind you begging you to forgive me and also I had to take all my anger on my mother for the stunt she pulled. What do you all think of me ? I m a human and how much do you expect me to endure all these ? I will let go of all these but how do you expect me to be all silent when you both will not reveal whatever secret you are hiding from all of us. What should I do ?
Kanmani watched him and felt bad for him. She moved to him and wrapped his arms around him hugging him. Veera's lips twitched but he stayed numb without hugging her back.
Kanmani: Offer valid for 10 seconds and if you don't hug me back then I will return to my room and the door will be closed on your face.
The next moment he wrapped his arms around her crushing her a little and Kanmani chuckled at his antics.
Kanmani: I m sorry Veera. I m extremely sorry. I know how much you are suffering but you upset me and hurt me with those words. Tell me will you be ok to hear if I say that I will better die instead of fighting these problems ?
Veera: Shut up Kanmani.
Kanmani: See you are annoyed so how do you expect me to react when you said those words ? Eight years Veera, I have waiting for you not to hear those words. Even I m struggling with whatever is happening around us Veera.
Veera pulled her to sit on his lap and kissed her temple stroking her back.
Veera: I m sorry bunny baby. Please forgive me. I won't ever repeat it again. Finally it feels like I got my life back in my arms. But you are bound to be punished for pushing me away. I have told you that we may fight but we will not avoid us. Even you didn't kiss me or let me kiss you. It was like I forcefully stole a kiss that day.
Kanmani pinched his arm and he pulled back from the hug hissing in pain.
Kanmani: I m hungry Veera. Come on lets eat first.
Veera made her sit on the dining table and started feeding her and she fed him back. When they returned to living Kanmani sat on the couch and Veera laid with his head on her lap placing her hand to caress his hair.
Kanmani: Veera, what should we do now ? I don't think our problem will be solved now especially after aunty went to the extent of searching for a bride for you.
Veera: Seriously I don't know Kanmani. Will you trust me and tell me the reason Kanmani ? Don't I have the right to know anything and everything about you or whatever when it concerns you ?
Kanmani: Veera, listen to me. Now I have solution and I think that will be best for us. Either we will fight or you stay in Chennai until I m ready to be shifted with you in Chennai after marriage. I think aunty will not have any problem with this.
Veera: You know she is so stubborn to get me married now at the earliest.
Kanmani: you try to convince her to postpone this for a year. Even if she wanted you to return to Chennai then please do that. We stayed apart for 8 years without any contact so it won't be a problem to stay apart for a year being in contact. We can talk daily and may be you can come meet me sometimes.
Veera: Sounds good though it will be very hard to stay away from you for a year but what if she doesn't give into this plan ?
Kanmani: Go marry the girl she choose for you then.
Veera pinched her waist and she pulled his hair making him groan in pain.
Veera: Ennadi ? Yarayo kalyanam panna dhan ivlo varusham wait pannena ? ( What girl ? I have waited all these years only to get married to some random girl is it ?)
Kanmani: What should we do then ?
Veera got up and sat close to her taking her hands in his hold.
Veera: What about we get married tomorrow before returning to Village ?
