100 + comments = Triple update , Story end  and PART-2 GLIMPSE by Sunday.

As Deva and Aarathi both are lost in their own thoughts, Varadha who just came there was standing in silence. He unaware of the situation is thinking if he should ask them about what had happened or stay silent. He tried to read the subtle expression on Deva's face. But he failed to understand what's running in his best friend's mind for the first time. He looked at Aarathi who wiped her tears away as soon as she saw him. She tried hard to plaster a fake smile to overshadow the recent emotional outburst. Deva didn't say anything but walked towards the door and left the room silently. He have no words to converse or console Aarathi. He himself is struck in his thoughts. 'Why woman will be blamed for everything ? Why everyone acts judgemental with woman ? ' he unknowingly bumped into someone. And that someone is Baachi.

Baachi looked at Deva with amusement as it is very rare of Deva to be out of track . 

Baachi : What happened anna ? Where are you lost ?

Deva : Nothing ! 

Saying that deva walked past baachi, baachi kept on looking at him wondering what had happened to him. That is when he heard a voice calling him.

Mythili : Baachi ! What happened ?

Baachi : Something is wrong with Deva anna. He is worried about something or someone.

Mythili narrowed her eyes and listened to baachi's words. 

Mythili : I'll find out what had happened to him. You go and wind up your work. Did you forget that we just have 1 week left for Aarathi's baby shower ? 

Baachi : Yeah ! I remembered vadhina. All arrangements will be perfect. Afterall Khansaar's prince or princess will be born soon. And i'll be there favourite uncle and spoil him or her.

Mythili chuckled and patted his shoulder affectionately. She then walked towards deva's room and found him standing near the window. She closed the door with a mischievous grin and walked towards him slowly. She wrapped her hands around him from behind and leaned against him. 

Mythili : What happened ? Why are you so silent ? 

Mythili asked by nuzzling her face in the crook of his neck. Much to her shock Deva freed himself from her grip and turned towards her. She saw deep sadness in his eyes.

Mythili : what happened ?

Deva : Nothing ! 

Mythili pinched his arm , he didn't flinch but stood silently. For a man like him , it never gives pain but for the woman infront of him , he would have squealed. But he didn't and he is lost in his own world.

Mythili : You can't lie !

Deva : Please Mythili ! You don't know what exactly is running in my mind.

Mythili : what's running in your mind ? Don't you want to share it with me ? 

Deva : I don't know how i am supposed to explain that.

Mythili rolled her eyes.

Varadha is having is meal along with Aarathi. He observed the change in her demeanour. She is barely eating and is engrossed in some thoughts. Varadha is sure that she is not in a trouble. He is confident because the last person with whom she spoke before he came home is deva , who would turn the world upside down for her. 

Varadha : The lady who stole my heart decades ago seems to be lost in her own world ! 

Varadha told with a mischievous glint to gain her attention but she didn't respond. He slowly leaned towards her and pecked the corner of her lips. She flinched and looked at him.

Aarathi : Vara....

Varadha stopped her by pecking her lips . He looked into her eyes with affection. The workers around silently dispersed as he waved his hand to them by gesturing them to leave.

Varadha : What's bothering you , Darling ? 

Aarathi : It's....

Varadha : Till few days ago you are worried that i am angry on mythili. But I realised that I shouldn't be judging her because of her father's actions. I realised my mistake and everything is sorted now. What else is bothering you ? Do you know how important this phase is ? You are going to be a mother ! We are going to be parents ! 

As Varadha continued to talk , Aarathi signalled him to stop.

Aarathi : You will never leave me right ? 

Varadha : What ? 

Aarathi : That is what i am bothered about Varadha ! I am capable of taking care of myself. I can protect myself. I can fight against anyone. But when it comes to you......

Aarathi looked at him with tears.

Aarathi : You are making me feel like a fragile lady. I don't know why I am unable to balance myself around you. You are my husband and i know you are my man. I know that you love me. But something is bothering me , Varadha. I'm being honest with you. I feel like something is wrong between us.

"Excuse me".

Aarathi and Varadha heard a familiar but unexpected voice. They turned towards that person by pausing their conversation which is more of the sort where Aarathi is letting out her inner fears and frustration.

Radha Rama : I want to tell something important ! 

Radha Rama told in a neutral tone. 

Varadha : What's that ? 

Varadha asked by glancing at her for a second.

Radha Rama : I don't want to leave in khansaar.

Aarathi : what ? 

Aarathi is visibly surprised.

Radha Rama : I don't want to live here. I want my child to grow up in a place away from all these. Like a normal human.

Aarathi was about to say something but varadha responded before her.

Varadha : Okay ! I'll make the arrangements for that.

Aarathi looked at Varadha with surprise. Radha Rama even though slightly hurt by Varadha's lack of reaction stood silent and nodded. She then opened her mouth to speak again, 

Radha Rama : Thank you , Varadha. I know that you'll be a great ruler.
