Avi gave in to all of Nivi's flirtings just to get a reaction from Shalini. It brought him joy to see his mickey mouse get possessive on him. "Ippo andha menaminiki oda date poradhu dhan romba mukkiyam ah?" She exclaimed as he put on a satin shirt. "Menaminiki na?" He questioned adjusting his hair. "Romba mukkiyam!!" She exclaimed pouting. "Hey en chithi first time enkitta oru vishyam ketrukanga, how can I reject it?" He asked. "Vela irruku nu solla, veetla pondatti irruka nu sollu!! Naa vera oru ponnu ah love panren nu sollu!!" She exclaimed. "Mm poi solren, naa oru ponnu ah one side ah love panren adhukaga micha ponnunga kitta Ellam pesamle irruka poren nu!!" He told and she pouted more glaring at him.
"Seri Shalini kelambren." He told and she pulled his wrist towards her making him almost run into her. "Ennachu ma? Enkitta edhachu sollanuma?" He asked in his base voice. "Adhellam illa." She told. "Aprom?" He asked. "Button." She told. "Enna button?" He asked. "Button podradhuku dhana kuduthurkanga? Appo andha Moonu button ah pota dhan ennavam?" She asked and he had a cheeky smile. "Appo pottu vidu." He told casually. "Yen unga Kai enna puliyanga porichitrika?" She asked and he twisted his lips. "Seri appo naa ipdiye Nivi kooda dinner poren." He told and she again pulled his wrist. "Sari, pottu vidren." She told and Avi grinned showcasing his dimples.
She pulled his collar pouting and began buttoning his shirt. Once she was ready to let go, she quickly pecked his lips, "Yaarkooda dinner ponaalum, neenga yaaru aalu nu nyabagam irrukanum." She told and Avi was stunned. He didn't expect that from her. "Sha--" his words were cut off halfway as the door opened. They both jerked aside seeing Nivi. She gasped seeing it. "Kadhava knock pannitu ulla vara teriyadha?" Shalini questioned and Nivi was still speechless. "Avinash, naa keela wait panren." She told and walked away.
"Romba valinju pesama seekiram veetuku vandhu serunga." She warned and he just replied, "Paaklam." That annoyed her completely.

"Atha that Street rat!! Ava Avinash kooda--" Nivi complained to Sushmita. "Teriyum." She replied cutting her off. "Adha yepdi ivalo assault ah solringa?!!" She exclaimed. "Idhula enna irruku, naa Mahesh kooda relationship Kula pora appo avaruku erkanave kalyanam aayirundhuchu, naanga sandhosham irrukala?" Sushmita questioned. "Avaroda first wife dhan child birth naala sethutangle." Nivi reasoned. "Avala enga setha?" Sushmita asked. "Athai?" Nivi asked. "Naa potta sketch la andha Avinash mattum thapichitan, ippo sothu la avanakum oru share pogudhu, aana adhayum nammake Vara maari panna dhan unna kootitu vandhen." She reasoned. "Seduce him tonight, keep him occupied, Avan vaiyala illa manasula kooda inime Shalini ndra per uh Vara koodadhu." Sushmita told and Nivi was still half hearted about this.
"But--" Nivi tried to argue when Sushmita glared at her. "Unnala avana seduce panna mudiyala na, I have no other option than ending his life, puriyudhu ah?" She asked and Nivi panicked. "Illa atha, irrundhalum ipdi monetary gains kaga mattum poi--" Nivi began but surrendered to Sushmita's glare.

Shalini was still double minded of the whole sending Avi with Nivi. "Avinash ippo neenga ava kuda poi eh aaganuma?" She whined. "Nee yen ma ivalo possessive aagura? Enna avalo love panriya?" He asked in his bass voice and she fluttered. "N-neenga topic maathathinga!! Ava kooda poradhu ennaku suthama pudikala." Shalini warned. "Appo naa pogalana ennaku enna kedaikum?" He asked bending to her height. "Enna venum?" She asked. "Kettadhu Ellam kedaikuma?" Avi asked and she took a step back. "Apdi Ellam illa." She told and Avi shrugged his shoulders. "Appo naa poren bye." He told and walked away making her face fall. Avi's heart pulled strings seeing her puppy face but he knew it was necessary for her to realise her feelings.

Shalini kept looking at the clock and bit her nails. 'Veliya pona dhan mind divert aagum.' she thought. 'bike la polama?' her mind chimed and a small smile conjured in her lips. Like always, her bike rides were almost a drug to her. Tasting it after an year just made her want more of it. She took her mask and scurried downstairs. She rented a bike and enjoyed it's sound as she drove through the city. She stopped near a Lake and inhaled the fresh air but suddenly her immense worry to her. 'Avinash veetuku poirupara?' 'call panlama?' She thought when she felt someone pat her shoulders.
She turned to find Avi and gasped. "Meera?!!" He exclaimed and Shalini didn't know how to react but was glad she wore the mask. "Neenga Colombo la irrundhu eppo vandhinga?" He asked. "Enna Achu nga yen pesa maatengringa?" He asked excitedly. 'pesna dhan voice ah kandu pidichirviye!!' she thought and sighed. She then decided to sign that she cannot speak and that she was mute.
Avi froze for a moment, "Neenga interview la ellam--" he dragged when she signed,
'adhuku aprom oru chinna accident la voice poiduchu.'
Avi's eyes softened.
'Neenga Inga enna panringa?' she signed.
"Adhu onnum illa nga, wife ah kadupu etha oru ponnu kooda date vandhen, andha ponnu seriyana scene party, adhu kooda paravalla nga, flirting nu nenachu Kanda pathu ruba dialogue Ellam solli enna saavu adikra!! adhan epdiyo kalti vitutu, mind peace kaga Inga vandhen." He reasoned and she chuckled.
"Aama neenga eppo Colombo lirndhu vandhinga?" He asked.
'Nethu dhan.' she bluffed.
There was a peaceful silence that lasted for a moment, both of them calmly enjoying the moon's reflection floating in the water.
"Neenga poyum poyum unga voice ponadhuka racing ah vittinga?" Avi asked and Shalini froze. "Naa ungla ennamo nenachen nga aana unga perseverance ivalo kamiya irrukum nu nenaikala." He told.
'Naa sonnena?!!' 'voice ponadhuku dhan naan race otradha niruthunen nu naa sonnena?' she signed angrily.
"Pinna vera enna nga reason? Unga boyfriend AD nalaiya? Rendu perum jodiya racing quit panningle!! Elavu idhula Ellam couple goals panni." "Andha aalu oru tension party Avan loose thanama career peak la quit pannan, neengalum yen nga Avan kooda serndhu indha Ara mental Vela Ellam paakringa?" He asked and Shalini burned in anger.
'Mind your words!!' 'ungluku enna teriyum en life la nadandha pathi!!' 'Unnaku AD pathi ennada teriyum?!!' (tears brim her eyes)... 'Avana pathi ennada teriyum?!!' she signed and then held his collar with hot tears running down her cheek.
"Meera calm down!!" Avi exclaimed. 'en AD pathi ennada teriyum unnaku?!!' she signed and wiped her tears. "Aprom edhuku nga quit panninga?" Avi asked softly.
