Recap: Raghav I love you so much, I love you Malini’s heart and mind screamed in unison.

“What we once enjoyed and deeply loved we can never lose, for all that we loved deeply becomes a part of our life” – Hellen Keller.
Like the oxygen to breathe, happiness, sadness, anger, fun and every emotion in Malini’s life Raghav was inseparable from her. A Life without him was a life without breathe and emotions and in simple she never thought of a life without him but it took so long for her to realize that it was love for him that bound her with him.
When she felt that she lost him and Raghav was not her anymore, there was no life for her anymore she collapsed on the floor with tears still running on her cheeks.
She didn’t realize what was happening until a palm wiped her cheeks and shook her shoulder calling her with a great worry in the voice. She opened her eyes and saw Raghav’s eyes brimming with tears and patting her cheeks. He wiped the tears of her eyes again and made her sit and gave water to drink. It took a long time for Malini to come back to reality and then she saw the surrounding. Raghav was sitting on the floor opposite to her holding her hand and Krithi and Sarath were too worried looking at her.
Malini searched for the girl who came with Raghav but she could not find. She craned her neck to look beying them but didnot see anyone.
Raghav’s voice broke this time as he was asking her for a long time on what happened to her. She looked back at him.
Raghav: Malini do you hear me? Enna acchu ? bayama irukku enna nu sollu please ?( What happened ? I m scared please tell me)
Malini: Where is she ?
Raghav: yaaru ? did anyone bully or threat you? yaar vandha ? ( Who ? Did anyone bully you ? Who came ?)
Malini: Unnoda junior ? (your junior )
Raghav: yennoda junior ah ? yaaru ma ? yenna solra? ( My junior ? Who is it ? what are you saying ?)
Malini: illa . Nee office la irundhu eppo vandha unkooda yaar vandha? ( nothing. Who came along with you when you returned from office?)
Raghav: Naa vandhu ten minutes agudhu. you were sleeping so fresh ayitu elupalam nu wash room ponen. Vandhu paatha you were sobbing in your sleep and tears were non-stop. Your breathing was also not normal. I was scared and called Sarath and Krithi.
(Its been ten minutes since I returned from office. you were sleeping so I thought of refreshing before waking you up. When I came back you were sobbing in your sleep and tears were non-stop.Your breathing was also not normal. I was scared and called Sarath and Krithi.)
Krithi somewhat understood that she must have got a bad dream of Raghav and her life that caused this trauma. But she felt there would be some clarity for Malini after this so she remained quiet.
Krithi sighed to Sarath and they both left silently just giving a nod to Raghav and closed the door behind them.
Raghav: Malu ennadi acchu. Are you alright? ( Malu what happened ?)
Malini threw her hands around his neck and hugged him still crying. Raghav patted her back to cool her.
Raghav: Kashtama irukku ma enna nu sonna thane theriyum. Amma appa pakkanuma veetukku polama or unakku inga pudikalaya then I will get transferred back to chennai. We will go back once for all. ( I feel bad, how will I know if you don’t tell me anything ? Do you want to meet our parents or if you don’t want to stay here then I will get transferred back to chennai. We will go back once for all)
Malini: Onnum illa pa. Some bad dream. Vera onnum illa. ( nothing just it was a bad dream nothing else)
Raghav: Enna bad dream ? ( What was the bad dream ?)
Malini: I thought I lost you and felt like it was real.
Both their eyes squeezed tight as tears of not happiness not sadness but tears of relief that Malini felt she didnot lose Raghav and just had a dream while Raghav felt relief that mere dream of losing him had such an impact on her which proved his place in her heart.
Raghav: I m with you Malu. Relax. Sorry for being late and I won’t let this happen again. Sorry for putting you into such trouble. i m so sorry.
Malini: shhh. don’t be sorry. Its nothing to do with you. I had a dream and how will you be responsible for that.
They were still in hugging and didn’t want to leave each other until Raghav’s stomach grumbled of hunger. She pulled back from the hug and looked at him.
Malini: sorry come lets have dinner.
He held her back and wiped her face.
Raghav: Poi face wash pannitu vaa. I prepare dosa. (go wash your face)
She nodded and left to their room and washed her face and returned back to him who was preparing dosa.
Malini: I will make for you. Nee sapdu first. chutney na senjen eppadi irukku sollu. ( I will make for you. I prepared the chutney so taste it and tell me how is it )
Raghav didn’t stop her and gave into her wish and leaned beside her with a plate and she gave him dosa and the chutney. She was looking at him anxiously for the feedback.
Raghav: Woww, super Malu…
Malini: Nejama va ??? (really?)
Raghav: hmmm neeye taste paaru. (taste it yourself)
He gave her a bite and she felt good with the taste.
Malini: Did you have lunch today?
Raghav: No ma. I had continuous meetings and couldnot catch up with lunch.
she gave him a deadly glare and he gulped to it.
Raghav: I won’t do it henceforth. Don’t stare at me please.
she nodded her head and went back to her dosa. He was looking at her facial expressions as she was trying to flip the dosa without getting torn and a victorious smile when she did it successfully. She continued with her work and he conitnued eating and feeding her also.
They returned to room and Malini went to washroom to change her night dress. she changed the dress and stood in front of the mirror tying her hair in a high bun.
Malini Mv: Raghav even that dream was enough for me to die in the thought of losing you. I can’t take it in real. But thanks to that dream that I realized and clear of my head that all my feelings for you is love. I love you Raghav I love you so much. I will confess my love to you on a special moment very soon. You will love me back right ?
She came out and saw Raghav leaning on the head board waiting for her.
Raghav: Are you ok ?
Malini: Fine …don’t worry . Lets sleep.
Both laid on their side with eyes closed. Malini opened her eyes after sometime and saw Raghav asleep. she moved to him and laid her head on his chest and clutched his shirt with her palms. She felt a instant calmness and slept immediately. when her breathing was even Raghav opened his eyes and saw her calm face. He caressed her hair ad pecked her forehead.
Raghav Mv: I don’t know what dream you had but I could feel that you are not ready to lose me and neither I m going to lose you. I feel like you are realizing or already realized the love between us. Soon I will open my heart to you. Love you di pondati.(wifey)
He looked at her hand that clutched his shirt and smiled at her.
Raghav Mv: Madam ennoda junior kanavula paathu than bayadhutiya. Loosu ava peru kooda enakku theriyadhu nu marandhuta pola. Ore oru naal sonnen ava nalla irukka paakka nu adhu ivlo impact ah. Yen possessive raniye… Azhagiye…
( Madam was scared of dreaming about my junior. Crazy girl seems like you forgot that I don’t even know her name. I just one day that she looks good and that has made so much impact. My possessive queen. my beautiful)
He took his phone and messaged someone and after a long chat a smile flashed on his face.
Raghav woke up when his alarm rang. He reached to the night stand and turned off the alarm and looked at Malini who was still on his chest. He thought of getting up but her words that she wanted him beside her when she wakes up made him give up and he laid back.
Raghav: Malini… Malu ma… Shall I go for jogging ? Will you sleep or shall I stay back?
Malini: No don’t go. Innum konja neram thoongalam. (let us sleep for some more time)
Raghav: Seri one hour then office kelambanum ok va. ( ok only an hour then we need to wake up and I need to leave for office)
She just hummed and went to her sleep again in the same posture. Later they got ready and Malini and Raghav was having breakfast and the door bell rang.
Raghav: Yaaru paruma . (check who is it )
Malini went and opened the door and a loud squeal scared her. She caught her chest panting and saw the three idiots grinning at her. Raghav came and put his hand on her shoulder and she looked at them with an amused face after calming herself.
Prakash: Yenna thangachi bayadhutiya? ( What sister ? you were scared is it ?)
Malini: anneyyy sathyama bayandhuten.. Neenga enna panringa inga? (bro, I was scared really. What are you doing here ?)
Bala: Machan kelmabalam vaa da. Indha avamanam namakku thevaya? ( Dude let us leave. Do we need this shaming ?)
Malini: ayyo anna naa appadi mean pannala ( I didnot mean that bro )
Prakash: pinna eppadi mean panna. naanga aasaya thangachiya paakka vandhom but ipo dhane theriyudhu kilikku rekka molachi parandhu pochu nu. ( Then what did you mean ? We came here with so many wishes to look after our sister but now I understood that pigeon has gew its wings and flew away)
Raghav: Dey vandha odane start pannadha un drama va. (hey don’t start your drama as soon as you have arrived)
Sanjay: Dey engala ullayachum vidungada floor la ellarum oru mathiri pakkuranga. ( Hey atleast let us inside. everyone in the floor are looking at us)
Malini: ayayo vaanga vaanga ulla vaanga. (sorry, come inside)
Bala: ippo vachum ulla vittangale. ( alteast now she let us inside)
Sanjay: Apram eppadi irukinga rendu perum? (so , how are you both ?)
Malini: hmm its going excellent
Raghav: Indhu varaikkum nalla irundhom adhan neenga vadhutingala inime eppadi theriyala. ( so far we were good but now you have arrived so lets see henceforth)
Malini: Chumma iru pa. anna va ippadi lam solladha. ( keep quite and don’t say those words about my brothers)
Raghav: seri ma. Nee un annanga kooda nalla iru enakku office ku time acchu. ( ok , you be good with your brothers and I m leaving to office. I m getting late)
Prakash: Seri mapla nee kelambu naanga pathukurom. Adhukku munnadi rendu loosunga veliya nikkudhu Malini nee poi vara sollu. (ok you carry on we will take care but before that there are two crazy humans outside Malini go call them)
Malini: Yaaru ney ( Who is it bro ?)
Malini went and saw Arthi and Lekha standing leaning on the wall. They all got in a group hug and went inside.
Malini: Yeppadi ellarum onna vandhinga. Semma surprise. ( how did you all come along ? Best surprise)
Lekha: Ellam un Mr. Romeo panna vela. Nadu rathiri enga ellarukkum message panni vandhe aaganum nu force panni vara vecharu. ( Everything was planned by your Mr. Romeo. Midnight he messaged us and forced us to come here)
Malini looked at Raghav not understanding any of his plans.
Raghav: Maa oru 10 to 15 days office la neraya work irukku ma. So neeyum veetla thaniya irundha bore adikkum la adhan ellaraiyum vara sonnen. Unakku company thara. ( I have hectic works for the next 20 to 15 days. You will left alone in home bored so I called them. you will have company)
How could he even think of leaving her alone after seeing her in a worse condition yesterday. She needs someone with her in his absence so he made their friends come over to stay with them until he gets himself free from his busy schedule.
Malini mouthed a thank you to him earning glare in return.
