I dedicate this chapter to Revu who likes the song Arikil pathiya from the movie Oru murai vanthu parthaya.
Ayush and Shalu visited Garv’s home to meet Titli.Suddenly a man came there.
Manikant:Who are you?
He:My name is Inder.I heard that a girl has come to stay in your house.She is none other than my wife.
All were shocked.
Garv smiled at Titli with relief and asked her in a soft voice:So you are his wife.Right?Now I can get rid of you easily.
Titli became dull.
Manikant:What nonsense are you saying?
Inder:I am saying the truth.She is my wife.
Maina:Then tell us who your wife is.
Garv smirked and told Titli:Your game is over.
Suddenly Inder hugged Shalu calling her:Apara!
All were stunned.Ayush was burning with jealousy as he was hugging Shalu.
Shalu slapped him and said:I am not your wife.I am Shalu.
Ayush:Exactly.
Ayush smiled happily.
Inder:No,you are my wife Apara.
Suddenly a vehicle reached there.Some people ran towards Inder and pulled him while Inder was screaming.
One among them:Sorry for the disturbance.He is a patient who eloped from the mental asylum.
They all were surprised.
Garv got disappointed while Titli smirked at him.
Garv was in his room.Titli went near him.
Titli said with a smirk:You thought if a mad man comes and tells something I will be his wife and you can get rid of me?It’s so that easy Garv.I will stay with you only.
Garv was irritated.
The next day…
Titli gave a shirt to Garv.
Garv:What?
Titli:Your dress sense is bad.You wear this shirt.
Garv:Why should I obey you?
Titli:You are always arguing with me.But trust me…this will look good on you.
He thought:I have no time to iron my clothes.So I will wear the shirt given by Titli as she has already ironed it.
Garv faked a smile:Okay.
Titli smiled.
Garv wore the shirt chosen by Titli.
Titli:Wow!You look really handsome now Garv.
Unknowingly Garv blushed.
But he pretended to be serious and showed her attitude.
Garv:I know that I am handsome.
He walked away.
Titli:Kadoos!
When Garv entered the office Ayush and Shalu looked at him in surprise.
Garv:Why are you all looking at me as if you are seeing me for the first time?
Ayush:It’s the first time you are dressed so well.What happened to you?
The others said:Today you have a special charm Garv.
Garv smiled.
He remembered Titli giving him the shirt.He smiled and walked away.
Suddenly Ayush noticed that one ear of Shalu was empty.
Ayush:Where is your earring?
Shalu:I don’t know.It is missing.
Ayush:It must have fallen down while you were walking.
Ayush started searching for it and found it on the floor.
He walked towards Shalu with the earring.
Ayush:I got your earring.
Shalu became happy.
Shalu:Thank you very much Ayush.
Shalu extended her hand to take it.
Ayush:No.Shall I put it on your ear?
Shalu nodded shyly.
Ayush put the earring on her earring while she blushed.
Sajeeri’s parents Mandar and Supriya were talking to the astrologer.
Supriya:She is not getting any good match.
Astrologer:The problem is that only a few horoscopes match Sajeeri’s horoscope.
Mandar:Who all match our daughter?
Astrologer mentioned the names of some boys.
Then he said:Garv Mehta’s horoscope also suits Sajeeri’s.
Sajeeri who overheard this blushed.
Garv’s boss informed him that he got promotion.Garv was surprised.
He thought:After Titli entered my life,my life has become better.I am becoming successful in my career.Is Titli my luck?
Garv smiled thinking of Titli.
Garv saw Titli watering plants.He smiled looking at her secretly.Titli walked on the slippery ground and was about to fall down.Garv ran towards her to catch her.But she fell over him,there by making him fall down.She was lying above him.They shared a romantic eye lock.

Kiniyum Neeyennil Eenam

Garv called her intensely:Titli…
Titli felt goosebumps when he called her name romantically.
Titli:Yes…
Garv:Not you.There is a titli/butterfly behind you.Titli got up from him and looked at the butterfly.
Titli:Okay…
She just walked away.Garv smiled thinking of their moment.
Aval Ariyathe
Thaliraniyum Pularikalil
Manjin Thooval Veeshi…
Melle… Njan melle….
Melle… Aaa….
Garv went near Titli.
Titli:What is the matter Garv?
Garv showed his palm to her.There was a cute butterfly on his palm.She smiled seeing it.
Titli:So pretty.
The butterfly flew and sat on her head.She smiled and twirled around.Garv enjoyed watching it.
Garv took a red rose and caressed her shoulder with it romantically making her shy.
Puthumazhayil Mey Punarum Poovin Mounam…
Ithal Viriyum Ee Raavin Niramoham…
Manamariyaathe Thirayukayo
Nee Ente Ullam…
Ninnil Njan Mounamaayi…

Titli was caressing the flowers in the garden.Without her knowledge Garv was gazing at her romantically.
Nin Mey Thottu Poomeda Thorum

Mazhaye…… Poo Mazhaye…
Arikil Pathiye Idanenjil

Titli was folding clothes.Suddenly Garv walked towards her and pecked her cheek.She blushed with surprise.
Raavil Pon Kanavaayi…
Chaare Oodi Anayunnuvo…
Neril Nee Varavaayal…
Ennil Pookkalam…
They shared a romantic eye lock.
Neeyum Njaanum Ennum
Marutheerangal Thedi…
Onnayi Chernnu Paarum…
Thean Kilikal…
Suddenly Garv realised that it was his imagination.
Titli:What happened Garv?
He said shyly:Nothing.
She just smiled.
Garv imagined dancing with Titli.
Ninne Njaan Ekayayi
Thedumee Sandhyayil…
Ninnilek Ethuvaan Mohamode…
Arikil Pathiye Idanenjil
Garv imagined embracing Titli from behind when she was in the garden.
Aaro Moolum Raagam…
Mizhikal Mozhiyum Madhuram
Kiniyum Neeyennil Eenam
Mazhaye… Ilaveyile..…
While walking Garv imagined Titli on the way.
En Kanavil… Kanavil…
Aval Ariyathe
Garv opened a bottle.Butterflies flew out of the bottle.Titli ran after the beautiful butterfly.Garv smiled.
Thaliraniyum Pularikalil
Manjin Thooval Veeshi…
Melle… Njan melle….
Melle… Aaa….(Oru murai vanthu parthaya).
He realized that it was his dream.
Accidentally Garv saw Sajeeri in the temple.
Garv:Hi Sajeeri…
Sajeeri:Hi!These days you are not seen at all.Otherwise we always meet accidentally somewhere.
Garv:These days I am very busy with huge work load.So I go out very rarely.
Sajeeri smiled:It’s ok.Do well.
Garv:Thanks.
Garv walked out of the temple.He was surprised to see Titli there.
Garv:Why are you not entering the temple?
Titli:After my parents passed away, communists only showed me mercy by bringing me up in their orphanage. We don’t go to temple.
Garv:It’s okay.I am not forcing you.
She just smiled.
Garv:If you did not want to come to the temple,why did you come here?
Titli blushed:I just felt like seeing you and Maina mom told me that you are in the temple.
He felt an unknown happiness hearing it.
Titli:Who is the girl to whom you were talking in the temple?Is she your girl friend?
Garv became dull hearing Titli asking him whether Sajeeri is his girl friend.
