(Guys my college timings have changed, adhunala inime one update dhan, adhuvum night la dhan 🤧)
Shalini was admitted in the hospital, Samira, Aadhira, Sharanya, Santosh, Nivi and Rakshan were in the hospital as well. The media waited outside the hospital like vultures for prey.
"Innaiku night full um observation la vechiklam, andha drug oda effect la dhan avanga irrupanga, yaarachu oruthar night full um irrundhu avangla pathukonga." "She is not in full consciousness." The doctor told. "She is out of danger right?" Avi asked. "Yes but avanga innum high ah dhan irrukanga." He replied and Avi let out a relaxed sigh by closing his eyes.
"Kozhandhangla veetuku kootitu ponga, I'll stay over." Avi told. "Illa na, naa irruken, neenga ponga, kalaila irrundhu azhanjikite irrukinga." Sharanya told cooing the toddler in her arms. "Venam ma, Adi ah kooda vechikitu unnaku kashtam, Rakshan erkanave kalaila lirndhu romba azhanjitan, Naa irruken, nee kozhandhangla mattum unkooda veetuku kootitu po." Avi told. "Neenga epdi thaniya--" Sharanya began when Santosh cut her off, "Adhan naa irruken la? I'll take turns with him." Santosh offered. "Sharanya naanum irruken, neenga ponga." Nivi too added.

Avi walked inside the ward and sat beside her, while Santosh and Nivi waited outside. "Edhachu sapdringla?" He asked but she glared at him. "Ungla dhan nga, do you wanna eat something?" He repeated but she twisted her lips at him. "Ippo en kovama irrukinga?" He asked. "Neenga dhana anniku naa Ellam oru aala, enna Ellam yaar love pannuvanga nu kettinga?!! Naa avlo cheap ah poitana?" She huffed. "Ippo enna nga, ungla love pannanum avlo dhana?" He asked and she blushed to how it sounded.
"Naa apdi sollala!!" She exclaimed. "Seri vaanga love panlam, vaanga!!" He told and inched closer to her like he was going to kiss her when she pushed him off blushing. He fell into chuckles as he pulled back. "Oye jingli kanna thora, Naa onnum panna maaten." He told and she opened her one eye and then both after seeing him away from her. "Atleast not in the hospital." He completed making her blush and close her eyes again.

Avi noticed Shalini slowly gaining consciousness. She squinted her eyes open and looked at Avi. A tear drop escaped her eyes as her eyelids again shut down and he wiped her tear. "It hurts." She mumbled and he held her hand tightly in both his palms. "Onnum illa, seri aagidum." He told with a breaking voice. He could no longer watch her suffer and tried to leave when she mumbled, "Pogadha."
Avi sat back in the chair and held her hand. "Please..... Pogadha..." She mumbled again when he kissed her hands. "Naa engayum pogala." He comforted with misty eyes. He kissed her forehead and tapped her to sleep. Avi smiled seeing the wedding ring on her hand.
His eyes moved to her neck, hoping AD's chain was not there, even though Shalini spent four months with him after moving on from AD, the duo hadn't shared a sane conversation on this topic. And just as he hoped, the chain was missing. He traced his hands on her neck when he found a large scar near her collarbone. His eyebrows met in confusion. He was about to investigate it further when a knock on the door disturbed him.
Santosh entered inside, "Neenga ponga, naa irruken." He told. "Illa paravalla--" Avi began. "Neenga night full um irrundhitunga, mani kalai la Moonu aachu, veetuku ponga." Santosh told. "Illa ungluku edhuku theva illadha kashtam?" Avi asked. "Theva illaya?!! Bro neenga ava husband na, naa ava friend!! Nyabagam irrukatum!!" He added authoratively yet humoursly. "Neenga erkanave kalaila irrundhu building building ah suthringa, idhula oru fight scene vera. Neenga modhala veetuku poi rest edunga." Santosh added forcing Avi to oblige.

Shalini woke up, jerking to the surroundings. "Shalini are you up and fine?" Santosh asked. "Aadhu?" She questioned. "Ava safe ah irruka, unnayum save panni hospital la admit panniyachu." Santosh told. "Aadhu enga?" Shalini asked. "Avinash veetla." He answered. "Neeyum discharge aana anga dhan poganum." Santosh told. "Anga irrundhu epdi thapichom?" Shalini asked. "Un husband panna fight ah paakanume!! Paah!!" "Adhu kaprom Apdiye Nagarjuna Amala va andha oru paatu la thookuvare?" He asked.
"Kayil medhakum kaatru ah nee!!" Shalini added. "Haan!! Adhey dhan, andha maari unna apdiye thookite hospital la vandhu admit pannadhu mattum illama, unna night full ah mulichu paatharu teriyuma?" Santosh asked and Shalini smiled. 'Appo naa pogadha nu sonna appo avar pomaten nu sonnadhu kanavu illaya?' she thought and blushed.
And at that very moment, the Chief doctor walked in. "Mrs. Shalini, ippo okay va?" He asked and she nodded. "Endha pain um illaya?" He inquired and she nodded again. The doctor did a quick check up and smiled. "Appo discharge formalities ah finish pannitu neenga kootitu polam." Santosh was told and he nodded walking out.
He jerked seeing four bulky bodyguards around the room. "Boss! Madam ah discharge panna poranga!" One of them added in his Bluetooth ear piece. 'Idhuku avaru ingaye irrundhirklam.' Santosh thought as he smiled awkwardly at them and went downstairs.

Shalini picked up her phone and checked her Instagram account and smiled seeing all the edits. She absolutely loved the concern in his eyes as he carried her down the building. She was a blushing mess seeing the song choices in the edits. "Ivaru epdi dhan ivalo cute ah irrukaro?" She voiced out loud making the nurse in the room chuckle as she bit her lips and sighed blushing.
