The calling bell sound is heard and Radha opens the door.Rahini and Kannapiraan get inside the home with her luggages. Kannapiraan maintains his silence on looking at Radha while Rahini hugs Radha happily.
Radha looks at her with a smile and hugs her affectionately. Then she screws her ears softly and says "Hmm, Actually I should beat you with a wooden scale. Instead I am hugging you. Don't dare to do like this again" says Radha in a playful strictness.
"Ahh. Chithi, Leave me. I have only two ears." Rahini pretends to feel pain and she smiles at her.
Radha leaves her ears. Rahini then looks at Kannapiraan who is sitting quietly on the sofa not talking to her. She does not get what is up with him. Arjun comes running from the room and hugs her tightly.
"Amma" he shouts in happiness. Rahini hugs him tightly and kisses him.
"Amma. You did look very beautiful yesterday." says Arjun.
"Thank you da , Chellam. You are my first ever fan isn't it. Very great to hear compliment from you."
"Amma, my remote car" asks Arjun
"Oh, Only for the remote control car, I got this compliment from you? Hmm, looks like my son has learnt to survive in this world." says Rahini with a playful anger and smile in her eyes. Arjun blinks at her and both of them start to laugh.
"Ok. done. Your toy is in my bag. I will give you soon." She takes him to sofa and both of them sit. Kannapiraan does not speak anything to Rahini which surprised her.
"Chitapa, What is up? You are looking so silent." asks Rahini to him. Kannapiraan looks at Radha with some anger.
Radha looks Kannapiraan with a slight fear. She turns to Rahini and says "Kanna, you get fresh up and come. I will provide you the evening snacks.". She leaves from the room. Rahini looks at both of them and gets astonished.
----
Rahini finishes her evening snacks along with Arjun and Kannapiraan. During the whole time, both of them did not speak with each other.
'What is wrong with Chitapa today. His behavior is very unusual' thinks Rahini to herself.
She leaves the dining table and unpacks her stuffs. She takes the toy from her bag and calls Arjun.
"Arjun kanna" calls Rahini. Arjun comes running to her. Rahini smiles at him and calls him near. Arjun goes near her and looks at the toy. He gives his hands to get it from her.
"Hmm. No. First you give me my gift. Only then you will get this." Arjun smiles at her and hugs her tightly. He kisses on both of her cheeks many times. Rahini laughs at his happiness and waits until he completes kissing her. She looks at him with pride. She then gives the toy to him.
Arjun happily gets the toy from her and breaks open the toy's wrapper. He takes the toy out and screams.
"Hey, my new remote control car" jumps Arjun with full excitement on seeing the toy.
"Do you like it?" asks Rahini
"Yes Amma. The toy is very good. You know my friend Amol has got a car like this. He told this is a new toy and his father bought him at another city. as it is very new to the market and not available in our city. Now even I am having this toy.Hurray" screams Arjun.
Rahini turns happy and surprised. She reminds how Pratik was so sure that the kid would like the toy.
"Ok. I promised your gift. But see, you should not play with this all the time. Annual Exams are nearing isn't it. So study while you study and play while you play. Done?" says Rahini to Arjun.
Arjun stands like he is not interested in the deal.
"Not done means, I will return the toy to the shop." she threatens him. Arjun looks at her and says "Ok" in a low voice.
Arjun then leaves from the place. All these time, Rahini noticed Kannapiraan did not break his silence at all.
'Strange. What has happened to Chitappa today.What type of welcome I expected and what is happening here now.'
Rahini goes near him and sits beside him. "Chitappa, are you ok?" asks Rahini to him.
Kannapiraan does not answer her. She again asks him "Chitappa, Are you ok? what happened to you?"
He looks at her and looks behind her. Rahini turns back and sees Radha standing. Rahini turns to him and asks "Is everything fine? What is wrong with you?"
Radha comes and sits on the other side of the sofa. "Chithi, you please tell. What is up?" asks Rahini to Radha.
Radha looks at Kannapiraan and she too does not answer her.
"What is this?" Rahini raises her voice. "I am asking you both and neither of them are answering. Please any of you say what is going on here?"
Still both remain silent. "Chitappa. PLease say something. I assume you both got into some fight. That is why you are not speaking to her. Tell me the problem. Only then I can help you." says Rahini to him.
As Radha opens to speak up Kannapiraan starts to talk "I don't know why all women are like this."
Rahini gets surprised on his statement. Kannapiraan continues "No matter how much you grow up, you don't seem to differentiate between good and bad, right and wrong. Damn it." says Kannapiraan in an angry tone.
Radha turns sad and tears start to roll from her eyes. Rahini is shocked to see her cry.
'God, What is this? World has turned upside down in my 30 hours of absence'
"Chithi, I can understand he is pointing you only. And Chitappa, What suddenly you are complaining against women?"
"What to do? All my fate. For marrying a woman like her, I really deserve to get humiliated." answers Kannapiraan in same angry tone.
Rahini looks at Radha who is trying to control her tears.
"Chitappa, still you are not saying what has happened. Please tell the full story." says Rahini in frustration.
Kannapiraan looks at both of them and says in anger, "That R***al called today morning."
"We have given him a good name. Don't call him like this" says Radha in anger.
"Yes, great name we have given. He has spread that name worldwide and made us proud." shouts Kannapiraan replying her.
"Chitappa, Ram anna (brother) called you?" asks Rahini in a low voice.
Kannapiraan looks at her and says "He does not deserve to be called as anna by you Rahini. Don't call him like that. And moreover when I abandoned him how he can be anna to you? My son was dead six years ago. Now I have only a daughter. Her name is Rahini.That is it." he says in a firm voice.
Rahini feels very bad on hearing Kannapiraan's statement. She looks at Radha pitifully.
"Chitappa. Please control your emotions. Look at her. How she feels bad on what you say"
"I did not say anything wrong. Truth always pricks people. What I can do?"
"What is the matter? Is everything fine for him?"
"Ask her. She only talked with him. That idiot is badly in need of a maid to serve his Queen wife. Hence he invites her to his home to which she is very proud. I did not know that I have married a shameless creature in this world"
Kannapiraan shouts with full rage. Radha starts to cry heavily but he does not care about it. Rahini gets puzzled on seeing this. She goes to Radha and holds her shoulders to console her.
"Chitappa, Why are you talking like this? This is not at all good."
"Yes. Not good isn't it? Does it look good when she says she wants to meet that idiot travelling 10000 Kms. How would I feel?"
Rahini does not answer him.
"Have you forget what he did to us? How did he speak to us when we opposed his marriage with that woman? He was ready to abandon us for his love. And how ill he spoke of you not even thinking about your health condition. You know one thing. That evil woman lost her ability to bear child for him. It is because she tried to be throw a physically and psychologically weakened mother on streets and that cruelty caused her womb to get crushed" curses Kannapiraan
Rahini gets shocked to hear this news "Chitappa, What you are saying? Is it true?"
"Ask your beloved Chithi. Look I am saying to you both. Wherever she wants to go, she can go. But if she ever intends to go there,just let her know that she can go only after she finishes my last rites".
Kannapiraan leaves the place with full anger.

ARTE MANOR
Rohit bangs open the door of his room and comes very fast. He sits on his bed and breathes heavily. Arun follows him to his room and looks at him.
Rohit closes his face with his hands and does not speak anything. Arun comes and sits beside him. He looks at Rohit who is controlling himself to breathe normally.
"I already warned you Bhaiyya, about this situation." says Arun. "But you did not listen to me. You postponed to face the truth even at the last minute. Is this the way you told that you will handle the situation?"
Rohit slowly releases his hands from his face.
"Bhaiyya! Don't you think the way you reacted on seeing her, was too much?" asks Arun.
Rohit turns to him in anger. Arun continues "Bhaiyya, you can't do this to her. After all she is your daughter, your blood"
"Shut up" shouts Rohit in full voice. He rises from the bed and starts to break the things around him. Arun did not stop him and he just looks at him breaking things folding his hands.
"Don't ever say that word again in front of me. She is not my daughter and I am not her father" replies Rohit.
"Rage does not fade away the truth Bhaiyya. You cannot escape your responsibilities as a father by shouting like this"
"Why she is here? I told that I don't want this child. All of you know that I am returning home. Then why you all keeping her here?"
"What you are saying Bhaiyya." asks Arun in surprise "She belongs to this house. Your daughter, Ma's grand daughter. Where else she should live when this is her home?"
"I don't want her to be in this home. Just send her away from here" shouts Rohit again.
"Where to send her Bhaiyya?" asks Anirudh
"Anywhere, where I would not see her again."
"Then shall we send her out of this world?" asks Arun in anger.
Rohit and Arun look at each other angrily. Arun says "I don't understand. What harm that kid has done to you? Why you are hating her like this? That child is already motherless. You are her father and you have to be like mother too for her. Instead you have abandoned her. Do you really think what you are doing to her is fair and justice?"
Rohit does not answer him. Arun continues "I really have not heard of a thing like this before. After Bobby left us, she is the only possession which you have as a remembrance of her. But you are ignoring her." says Arun sadly.
"Arun why don't you understand? As you said she is a remembrance. She reminds me the bitter truth which I don't want to accept" says Rohit.
"Just because you don't accept the truth it does not become false Bhaiyya. Sakshi is no more. But she lives within your daughter. Do you think bobby is going to forgive you for treating her like this? By ignoring the child you are betraying your wife. A mother never accept or excuse if somebody harms her child."
Rohit does not reply him.
"Bhaiyya, one thing is sure. Trisha is the child of this home. She has full rights to live here. She will not go anywhere at any cost. Don't ever think of this again. Ma will turn wild if she knows that you have this cruel idea in your mind." says Arun firmly "And do you remember that you used to say that your fate has taken everything from you. It is not true Bhaiyya. Still you have something left in your life. That is Trisha. A day will come where you will be ready to spend crores and crores of rupees or even you will be ready to sacrifice whole world, to get Trisha's childhood and love back but you will not get it. Just wake up before that."
Arun leaves from Rohit's room and Rohit stands stunned.
--------
Arun comes out of Rohit's room and looks Mrunalini standing with some expectation in her face. Arun does not look her with hopes. He comes to her.
"What happened, Beta?" asks Mrunalini in a worry.
"No use of talking to him, Ma. Waste of time." replies Arun in irritation.
Both of them stand not knowing what to do. Arun asks "Where is she?"
"Inside her room. I don't know what to say to her? She got scared when she heard him shouting. I consoled and sent her." replies Mrunalini sadly.
Arun leaves the place and walks towards Trisha's room. He goes to her room. Trisha is seated on the bed with her toy in her hand. She looks at Arun coming towards her. Arun gently smiles at him and sits beside her.
"How is my cute little angel?" asks Arun to her. Trisha smiles with fear in her eyes and nods her head like 'ok' to his question.
"Chachu!" calls Trisha
"Yes, Beta. Tell me" replies Arun.
"Is he my Papu, Chachu?" asks Trisha with eager in her eyes. Arun feels very bad to see that. He does not know how to answer her question 'God! In what situation you have pushed me into. How am I going to handle this'
"Yes Beta. He is your Papu. What doubt you have in that?" replies Arun.
Trisha's face turn bright on hearing that. "Really, he is my Papu." Trisha starts to jump happily "Hurray. My Papu has come! My Papu has come!" Arun looks her happiness with pain. Trisha comes to him "Chachu, Shall I go to Papu. I have lot of thing to ask him." asks Trisha
Mrunalini comes to her room and hears their conversation with sadness.
"Oh, very bad. Upon your Papu's arrival, you have even forgot your sweet Chachu .Why did you not give me the tight hug which you used to give whenever I come" asks Arun pretending to be angry on her. Trisha gets worried on his anger. She blinks what to do. Mrunalini looks at the play with smile.
Trisha goes to Arun and hugs him tightly. Arun smiles at her hugging and kisses her gently.
"So you know, What I have brought for you this time?" Arun poses a suspense to her.
"I know. You have brought my Papu with you this time. Isn't it?" asks Trisha cheerfully. Arun gets embarrassed by her answer. He looks to divert the topic to something.
He acts like thinking and says "Nope"
"Then?" asks Trisha
"Hmm, I will tell. But what will I get if I give that to you?"
"One kiss?"
"Sure?"
"Pakka" says Trisha.
"Hmm. Here comes..." Arun takes the gift of Trisha and shows it to her. Trisha's face glow on seeing the gift which he held in his hand. Mrunalini looks at the gift and smiles on seeing it.
Arun gives the gift to her and Trisha gets it from him and gets happy.
"Thank you, Chachu"
"What just 'Thank you' alone? What about the promise?" asks Arun. Trisha kiss him gently. Arun gives her another gentle kiss.
"Where did you get this doll. Beta? Looks very nice" says Mrunalini. Arun smiles at her. Mrunalini gets the doll from Trisha and looks at it. A doll dressed like a bride.
"I got this from one of the big toy shops in Delhi. I have bought almost everything toy for her. I really got very much confused what to buy for her. Then one lady was looking at this doll in that shop and was saying to someone that girls will like this. But she left without buying it. Then I bought it" says Arun.
"I wish this doll comes to the world real and enter this house to make this as a home" says Mrunalini
"I wish Trisha should grow up this very minute and wear this dress." says Arun with some irritation in his face "Only after she leaves this house, some people would understand the real value of her."
Mrunalini and Arun looks at Trisha playing with that doll.
