The family were waiting in the corridor of the hospital nervously for the confirmation of the pregnancy. The doctor came out with a wide smile and announced that Shalini was two weeks pregnant. After clearing out that there was no complications in the pregnancy, Avi seemed happy.
"Mummy, indha baby ku enna per vekka porom?" Aadhu asked. Shalini carressed her tummy and told, "Vaishag.". Avi who heard it frowned. "Adha enna Vaishag?" He asked. "Anniku namma veetla pada vandhapo.... He told me something la?" She asked. "Aama apdi enna dhan sonnan?" Avi asked.

"He is so sweet to me!!" She told remembering the Ooty incident. Avinash huffed, "Yen naan sweet ah illaya?!" He asked.

"Yendi avanuku un mela crush irrundhadhuku nee enna panna mudiyum?!" He asked. "Ennamo pannunga." Shalini replied. "Appo en melayum dhan neraya per ku crush irruku... Wait pannu .." he told.

Just when everything seemed to be going well, the news of Sushmita being released from jail early due to exceptionally good behaviour reached Avi's ears. He was sceptical about the entire good behaviour thing. Sharanya on the other hand was excited, it was her mother after all.
"Anna avangluku oru chance kuduklam la?" Sharanya asked but Avi remained silent. "Avanga romba maaritanga... Naa avangla visit panna appo la, she seemed genuinely mentally same, avanga pazhaya maari illa." She told. "Indha dhadava avangla endha prechnayum panna vendam nu sollu, avangluku indha Veedu and appa oda asset dhana venum, adha avanga per ku transfer panni oru document ready pannirken, avangla vandhu sign mattum poda sollu." He told and Sharanya sighed.
Susmita walked back into the house, her aura seeming genuinely positive. "Avinash epdi irruka?" She asked and he looked away. "Indha document la indha Veedu, appo ennaku nu vecha assets ellathyum unga per ku transfer pannirku, idha sign pannita, the house is all yours, naanga oru one week la shift panniduvom." He told and Sushmita was shocked.
At that exact moment, Shalini walked to the scene and gasped, the metal bowl in her hand slipped and fell down as she stood rooted to the ground. Avinash walked to her with concern. "Shalini are you okay?" He asked seeing her turn pale. "Iv-ivanga epdi Inga--" she began stuttering and her breathing abnormalized. Avi hugged her. "Ippo kelambiduvanga." He assured.
"Seekiram sign podunga, next week Kula naanga shift pannidrom." He told her. "Ennaku idhu venam." Sushmita told. "Avinash avangla poga sollu." Shalini told with tears. "Poren, aana onnu mattum soltu poren." She told.
"Sorry.... Unga life la ennala neraya kashtam." She told. "Naa Panam panam nu adhu pinnadiye odunene thavira adha vechu ennala enna panna mudiyum ennala indha vayasula.... Jail la ellarkum family vandhu paapanga.... Ennaku yaarume Vara maatanga .... I realised then, that people are more important than money... Naa ungluku pannadhu ellam sadharna vishyam illa...." She began.
"Anniku railway station la Shalini ah kola panra alavuku erangnen..kaila pacha kozhandha irrukambodhu kooda..... Ippo yoschi paatha valikudhu.... ....(pause)....... Unga appa enna kalyanam pannikutadhu unna pathuka... Aana naa adha thavara Ellam pannen... I don't deserve any of this.... Indha assets, ungla maari nalla people.... Yedhuvum...." She told.
"I am really sorry Avinash." She told and tears left down her eyes as she fought herself telling the next sentence... "Unga amma va konnadhu naa dhan." She told. "Avanga pregnancy mishap la onnu sagala." She told. "Unga appa nee porandhadhum unga amma pakkame poiruvaro ngra insecurity la pannadhu... I was just your dad's second woman.... I wasn't even his wife when I was pregnant with Sharanya.... Ennaku vera Vazhi (sobs)... Vera Vazhi terila..." She continued.
She came forward and tore the documents. "Ennaku idhu edhuvum vendam.... Eppovachu enna manikanum nu thonuchu naa... Koopdunga." She told and walked away. Sharanya's eyes let out a lone tear while Avi and Shalini still remained frozen. Rakshan nudged Sharanya. "Avangla Namma veetuku koopdu." He told. Sharanya looked at him confused. "Koopdu ma... Enna paakra?" He asked and she smiled and rushed out to her mom.
"Ennakum avanga mela eppovo... avangla jail la visit panna appove nambika vandhirchu Avinash.... But unnaku time edukum nu teriyum.... Take your time." Rakshan told and patted Avi's arm before moving out.
