Aaradhana starts searching her bag. She find the zip is opened where she put the ring after doing Arjun a massage .

Aaradhana - Chinamma , I put my ring in this zip, but the zip is open now and it's missing.

Chinamma ( in anger) - Aara ? Why are you so careless. Its been only one day since your engagement got over. I thought that you are a responsible girl. But you disappointed me. What will Karmegam think if he gets to know about this?

(Karmegam enters suddenly)

Karmegam - What will I think if I get to know what? What's happening here?

chinamma and Aaradhana gets panicked.

Karmegam - Aaradhana Tell me what happened

Aaradhana - My ring is missing.

Karmegam ( in angry voice) - Aaradhana, only one day is over since our engagement happened . How could you be so careless? You can tell me directly if you don't want this engagement. You don't have to do this?

( Chinamma and Aaradhana gets shocked seeing his behaviour. Karmegam notice this changes his face expression)

Karmegam - Aaradhana, Sorry for blaming you. The ring that I put your hand is very precious. It's of my grandmother's. Though it's only 20,000 it's more than 100 crores for me and my family.

Chinamma (in anger) -See, Its not an ordinary engagement, it's more precious. I don't know what will you do, but I want the ring back in your hand tomorrow.

Aaradhana( in worried voice) - Ok chinamma..Sorry Karmegam I 'll find the ring at any cost tomorrow.

Arjun - Wait....

( Janitor turns back)

Arjun - Don't tell anyone. That you found the ring .

Janitor - But why Sir?

Arjun - Do as you are instructed.

Arjun- Ms.Aaradhana , Good Morning.

Aaradhana (still searching her ring) - Good Morning Sir.

Arjun- Why are you absent minded ?. What's wrong? Are you looking for ...

( Before he could complete)

Aaradhana ( in worried voice)- I lost the ring which belongs to my fiance grandmother.

Arjun (in mind) - I thought of returning the ring back to you. You want that ring back because it belongs to your fiance's grand Mother. How can you call him as your 'Fiance' ,when your engagement happened with me. Still you didn't realise that our engagement is completed ? Why are you so dummy you idiot? . Now you'll get the ring tomorrow only.

Aaradhana goes near him half mindedly.

Arjun tells her ,her tasks.

Aaradhana does those things half mindedly.

Arjun ( Sees her half minded) - Ms. Aaradhana, you were more punctual in your work.Your mind got distracted because of the ring. These tasks are more important . Please do it seriously. I don't like any reworks and you know that pretty well.

Aaradhana - Sorry Sir. I'll do my work now.

Arjun (in mind) - What happened to you Aaru, that you are taking all my talks seriously. The way you are behaving now is like how used to behave while you are in college .

Anyways I'll return your ring tomorrow only.

Aaradhana completes her work early and starts searching her ring.

Arjun- "Look wherever you want. You'll find it if you search in the right place "

Aaradhana- Please return it back Arjun. I'll do as you say.

Arjun- Is it? , then ask me sorry for calling me pervert

Aaradhana -Sorry Arjun. Now please give me the ring .

Arjun didn't expect that she'll apologise in a fraction of second.

Arjun - I am not satisfied. Do 10 situps and ask me Sorry.

Aaradhana does 10 sit-ups by asking sorry.

Arjun gets more shocked

Aaradhana ( still doing sit-ups with tears) - You are not satisfied still right?. Stop me when you are satisfied. But give me the ring.
