Arjun had a week time to complete his project. Sakthi came to his floor to meet arjun.

'Enna Bro..branch headoda head uruluthu pola' he asked Arjun who was working seriously.

'Hey Sakthi..intha project mudikka innum one week thaan irukku. Semma tight work..ippo thaan ennoda meetinglaam mudinjuthu..So just glancing at my mails' he told him with a smile.

'Seri..Ippo neenga freena..Naama lunchku polaama? semma pasi bro' he said. Arjun smiled and nodded 'ok polaam'.

They both went to the same restaurent in which they met a day before. The waiter came to take the order.

'What do you like to have sir?'

'Biriyani Irukka' Sakthi asked the waiter. The waiter gave a couldn't understand' look.

'Illa la.. po poi antha burgerah kondu vaa' sakthi sighed.

'Sorry sir..couldn't understand your language' waiter helplessly told him.

'Sakthi..summa iru..Sorry sir..Can you please get us one Veg lasagnia, whitesauce pasta & two banana smoothies?' Arjun ordered him and the waiter left with a smile looking Arjun and by glaring sakthi.'

'Dei..yen da avana kalaikara' Arjun asked sakthi.

'Pinna enna bro..inga enna thalapakatti biriyaniah irukkum..vaaiku rusiya saapdrathuku..Irukarthu antha kaanji pona sandwichum ithupona burgeruum..Ithuku menu card vera' he annoyed.

'Super bro..So enakku naalaiku mushroom biriyani cook panni tharinga' sakthi again confirmed him. Arjun said done.

'Bro..Unga family pathi sollave illa?' sakthi asked him.

'enga veetla..Naan, Enga Amma, Appa, aparam en wife avlo thaan and aparam ennoda friends from childhood Prakash & roshan' Arjun said with a smile.

'Bro..What..Ungalukku Kalyanam aayiducha?' Sakthi asked him with a shock.

Arjun chuckled 'Yen apdi kekara?'.

'Illa neenga paaka chocalate boy maari irukinga..Ungalukku egapatta girl fans namma officela..Innum solla pona..unga mela crushey irukku..Apdi irukum bothu..ungalukku kalyanam ayiduchunu avangalukku therinja..Avlo thaan..' he said.

'Hey Summa iru da' arjun chuckled.

'Seri..Unna pathi sollu?' Arjun asked.

'Enna pathi enna solla...Naan..Amma, appa..param friendsnu perusa illa..Rendu peru.. Athula oruthiku ippo thaan kalyanam aachu..Ava kalyanathuku varen sollitu naa pogave illa. Athula semma gaandula irukka. naan call panalum eduka maatra. Epdiyum avala samadhanam padithiduven. Innoruthi..Ava job kedachu..Ippo bangalorela irukka. naan inga iruken.' he said.

They both got their orders and ate by chatting about random things. Finally when the waiter gave the bill, like the previous day, he placed the cookies in front of them. Arjun instantly had urge to find the message that is placed in the cookie.

He cracked it and found the message.

"The one you love is closer than you think"

He frowned at the message. He couldn't relate anything. He felt puzzled. But he did not ponder over the message.

'enna bro apdiye intha messageiye paathutu irukinga..Ithellama namburinga?' Sakthi asked in disbelief.

'Nambalaam illa..Etho feeling happy while reading this. Namakku yaaravthu you will be happy nu sonna..Ithellam namba maatenu solviya..Though athu nadakalam Nadakama polam.. but your heart will feel light when you hear warm words right? Athu maari thaan ithuvum' He said with a light smile.

'Ennavo philosophy pesaringa..ok vidunga' sakthi said.

'Seri unakku enna vanthuchu?' Arjun asked him.

'Naanlaam itha nambarathe illa..So antha cookie edukave illa..Apdiye waiter kitta thirupi kuduthuten' he said. Arjun gave a bewildered look.

Sadhana got ready next morning and she waited for her brothers to come. Roshan & Prakash came to Arjun's house to pick Sadhana.

'Amma..Appa..Prakash called while entering the house.

'Vaada...Sadhu sonna..Neenga moonu perum veliya poringanu..Ava ready aytu iruka. Neenga vaanga..vanthu breakfast saapdunga..athukulla ava vanthuduva' Vasanthi said.

'Illa ma..Naanga varumbothe veetla saaptutu thaan vanthom' Roshan replied.

'Yen da..Inga thaane varinga..inga vanthu sapdlaam la..Veetliye saaptu thaan varanuma?' vasanthi scolded them.

'Illa ma Amma ready pannitanga' athanala saptu vanthom' Prakash said.

'Seri Seri..Neenga lunch kulla vanthuduvinga illa?' she asked.

'Aama ma..vanthuduvom' Roshan said.

'Seri..Appo lunch inga thaan saapdanum..naan ready pannidaren seriya?' vasanthi told strictly. 'They smiled and nodded.

'Irunga.. coffeeyachum kudichitu ponga..' telling that she went to kitchen to prepare coffee.

Roshan & Prakash went behind Vasanthi to kitchen and sat on the kitchen counter. They were chatting by sipping coffee by the time Sadhana came there.

Her face was pale and her eyes were swollen which was visible that she was crying for the whole night, this was noticed by Prakash & Roshan. They both felt bad by seeing her chirpy sister being stressed by battling within herself.

The trio bid bye to vasanthi left for the location in Prakash's car.

'Papa..Ippavum solren..Ivlo pannanumnu avasaiyam illa..Nee ivlo unna hurt pannikanumnu onnum illa da' Prakash worried.

'Illa Anney..Naan thedanumnu decide panniten..Aparam atha back off panna mudiyathu..correctoh thappo..naan thedarathu kedachiduchuna..Neriya questionsku answers therinjidum' she said blankly. Roshan & prakash looked at each other and nodded.

Prakash stopped the car and he shooked her. 'papa erangu da..naama locationku vanthurom..' She came out of her thoughts. Sadhana shocked and surprised to see the place.
