CHAPTER 1

Rain was pouring Down heavily outside the hospital... A man was standing near window and looking outside with blank face...

Behind him two men sitting outside the Operation theatre and a middle aged lady was crying infront of Baba's idol...

"En payyana epdiyachu kaapaththi kudunga baba.. Avan engalaku orey payyan ... avanukku thirumbavum kannu varanum"

That man turned towards the lady and said,

Aravind Kumar... ashwin's dad

Aravind: Muttal... Oru selaikkitta evlo neram nee kenjunaalum.. adhu vandhu un payyanukku Operation panni polaikka vaikadhu.. illiterate idiot... "

Aravind: muttal... Adhukkunu unna maari kaththi koopdadu poda solriya?
Think practical.. i don't think he's gonna die.... his injuries is not that much bad.. it's just vision restore operation...

Karpagam: chi enna manusha neengallam...

Arjun: poitu vaada.. she doesn't want you to sulk like this and destroy your future.. atleast for her.. your shivu...

Ashwin didn't said anything but went inside his room and closed the door with bang...

He took a wooden box from his desk and opened it to see a pair of bangles which he is bought for her...

Past,

Ashwin was trying to play piano... all of sudden he heard bangles sound and a small smile spreaded on his lips & a sweet voice said,

"You know you don't have to do it alone.."

Ashwin: i have to learn this all.. what if I lost my eyes forever? I need to survive alone right?

Suddenly he felt a warm embrace encircled him .. he snuggled into it...

"You don't have to go through anything alone ... I will be with you till last... How about I help you to play?"

She placed her hands above his and both of them started to play... He smiled a little... She started to hum..

Mhmm hmm ..... mhmm hmm..

He started to sing..

Ashwin: Ippavae ippavae paarkanum ippavae...

He cupped her face and traced her soft cheeks and lips...

mhmm hmm..

Ashwin: Ippavae ippavae pesanum ippavae...

He snuggled into her palms which on his cheek...

Mhmm hmm .....

He traced her full face slowly,

Kannai moodi unnai kanda appavae appavae..

He grabbed her hands and kissed her bangles,

Kaivalayal oosai ketaal appavae appavae..

He buried his face in her chest and inhaled deeply her natural fragrance...

Aadai vaasam naasi thotta appavae appavae...

He hugged her tightly..
