Aaradhana ( in angry tone ) - Its none of your business . Let me clear you one thing the person whom I loved the most and will love the most is the person mentioned in this diary . You know what , I told you a lie

Arjun ( shocked ) - What lie ?

Aaradhana - I dont love this person mentioned in diary for more than 14 + years . I loved him for 20 + years and i will love only him in this life time.

Arjun - Where is he now ?

Aaradhana ( with angry tears ) - He is lost . But I will wait for him. I will wait for him till my death.

Arjun - You can only stay in this room , in the position of my wife. If you dont consider me as your husband , get out of this room.

Aaradhana ( in anger ) - Fine. I'll get out now

She packs her bag and tries to leave the room but Arjun stands between her and the door

Arjun - So you are not my wife right ? Who am I to you?

Aaradhana ignores him and opens the door and shocked to see Poorva there, Arjun didnt notice her presence

Arjun (shouts) - Hand me the thaali that I tied in your neck before stepping out of the room

Aaradhana gets shocked and tears fall from her eyes.

Arjun - Aaradhana , I want answer . Hand me the thaali. You'll not give right . I'll snatch it myself

Arjun tries to remove her thaali but Aaradhana doesnt allow him to

Poorva pulls Arjun and slaps him hard . Arjun gets shocked on seeing Poorva

Poorva - Who are you to snatch a thaali from a woman even though you are her husband ?

Aaradhana - Athamma...

Poorva - I am not talking to you Aaradhana. I am talking to my son.

Arjun - Amma , its a matter between me and my wife please dont interfere between us.

Poorva - Wife what ? I heared all your conversations.

Arjun - How ?

Poorva drags both of them to their room and locks the door.

Poorva - I was passing by your room . I heared Arjun shouting and stood there . I heared Aaradhana begging Arjun to read diary , Arjun shouting "Even call girls are better than you"

Arjun & Aaradhana(in mind) - Which means Poorva doesnt know about Karmegam.

Poorva - Rani , I am asking you one thing . Be honest with me. I know I should not ask these things to you. Did you really think of that person while doing ....?

Arjun sits down and cries silently

Aaradhana - Athamma , its true ...

Poorva slaps Aaradhana, Arjun stands in front of Aaradhana with angry eyes.

Arjun (shouts ) - Amma, you have all rights to slap me, because I am your son . But you dont have any rights to slap my wife.

Aaradhana eyes Arjun with tears

Poorva - Aaradhana , did you see this. After things you done to him , he still stands beside you . Tell me will the person you loved for 20 + years would take care you like my son . Tell me who is he ?

Aaradhana falls in Poorva feet

Aaradhana - Athamma, I cant tell the whereabouts of him because Arjun got promise from me that I should not take that person name directly or in directly and I should not tell anyone

Poorva - Then how will you tell him

Aaradhana - With this diary . But he is not ready to read it whole heartedly.

Poorva - How can you think that my son will read that diary whole heartedly ? Leave my son no man in the world will read the diary containing his wife affair whole heartedly. I'll give you one more chance , if you want to stay here, stay here as Arjun's wife or else , leave the house. I'll give you 5 days time to think.

Aaradhana sits down shattered and cries.

Aaradhana ( in mind ) - chinamma, why no one understands me. Please help me . I dont want to lose Arjun , Poorva athamma,Anand mama and Anitha . I dont want to lose my family again

Arjun couldnt see Aaradhana crying , he tries to keep hand on her shoulder but avoids her and goes to bathroom.Switching on the shower he cries.Poorva also goes to her room closes the door

Poorva (cries)- Anna, Anni, Sushma please forgive me. I hurted your daughter. But how can she think about other person while she and Arjun ..? What will happen to Arjun ? What will happen to my daughter . I want both of them to spend their life happily . Please show a solution for this

Anand comes there

Poorva hugs him and tells him the things happened between them

Anand - What did you do Poorva ? They are kids . We only have to teach them good and bad . I dont know why I feel some misunderstanding happened between those two. I have a inner feeling that the person whom our Rani more than for 20 + years is Arjun ?

Poorva - Even I also believed . So I asked her tell me the name of the person you loved for more than 20 + years. She said Arjun got promise that she'll not take that person name to him or other people directly or indirectly

Anand - Poorva, it means this is not the first time they arguved , they must have arguved many times. Poorva I 'll remaind you of one incident happened in Arjun and Aaradhana's child hood.

When they both were 7-8 of age they both had a fight and Aaradhana came crying towards me

-----Flashback----

Aaradhana - Mama, Arjun broke my favourite pencil .

Aaradhana shows two broken halves of a tiny pencil.

Anand - No Rani, dont worry I'll buy you another pencil of same brand

Aaradhana - No , mama even if you find a better brand it will not replace this pencil .

Anand - Why dear ?

Aaradhana - Its the pencil that Arjun gave me 3 years ago. Its the first gift I got from him on my birthday. And he even doesnt remember about it . He scolded me for not sharing that pencil with him.

Anand - Did you tell him that pencil was given by him ?

Aaradhana - I didnt tell , how can he forget the present given to me when I didnt forget any gifts that I gave him on his birthday

Anand - Oh oh ..my dear Rani, dont worry Rani . I'll beat him for you

Aaradhana - No mama , If you beat him I'll not speak with you

Anand - You like Arjun that much ? Why ?

Aaradhana(smiles) - Yaa .I like Arjun a lot . He fights with me but when my anna or my school friends bullys me he stands against them and scolds them. He used to say "Only I have right to bully my fatty". Though he bullys me , he protects me from others. So I like him a lot

------

Anand - Poorva , can you relate this with what our Rani said about 20 + years. At present our Rani's age is 24 That incident happened 16-17 years ago and when Arjun gave Rani pencil she was just 4 years

Poorva - Which means the person our Rani loved is Arjun

Anand - I believe that the person whom Rani loved is Arjun , but if you have any doubt check in Aaradhana luggage. I am sure she must have the broken pieces of that pencil even now.

In Arjun - Aaradhana

Aaradhana takes her memory box and finds the pencil and remainds of the incident.

She writes things happened between them in diary

Arjun comes out after having bath

Arjun - What are writing in diary?

Aaradhana - Nothing

Arjun - I thought you'll change after amma's warning

Aaradhana doesnt reply .She hugs her diary and lays on bed

Arjun - Aaradhana answer my questions. I know you were asleep

Aaradhana keeps cotten in her ears and sleeps.

Next morning ,

Aaradhana returns home from temple

Kamatchi eyes Rupali

Rupali signalls "Yes"

Aaradhana sees Kamatchi trying to fall down

Aaradhana holds her

Aaradhana - Paati , are you alright ? what happened to you ?

Kamatchi - I forgot to take morning medicine

Aaradhana - Paati , where is it ?

Kamatchi - Its in my room, in medicine pouch

Aaradhana runs towards Kamatchi room and takes the medicine pouch

Aaradhana - Paati , which medicine.

Kamatchi - A tube shaped tablet. That is for BP.

Aaradhana - Ok Paati.

Aaradhana takes the tube tablet and feeds her.

Kamatchi faints after eating tablets

Aaradhana shouts Arjun ,Athamma.

Arjun - What happened ? Why are you shouting in the morning

Aaradhana - Arjun, paati was about to faint. When I asked about it , she said she forget to have BP tablets. When I gave her tablet she fainted.

Arjun - Show me the tablet you gave her

Arjun sees and gets shocked

Arjun - How will she not faint if you gave her vitamin tablet instead of BP tablets . Anitha check the tablet in the pouch and I'll check in her room.

Arjun searches and finds BP tablet strip under the table

Arjun - Anitha dont stress yourself, BP tablet will not be there in that pouch. Its in my hand

Arjun goes to Kamatchi and feeds her the right tablet. After few minutes Kamatchi wakes up

Karmegam ( in high voice ) - What did you do Aaradhana ? Since it is a vitamin tablet , it didnt affect Paati's health. What if you gave some other tablet and what if she's harmed by that.

Arjun looks at him angrily

Aaradhana - Arjun , I didnt do it wantedly . I asked paati what is the name of BP tablet . She said it would be in brown in colour of tube size

Arjun - Tell me one thing Aaradhana. Its ok that you didnt know BP tablet . How didnt you recognise vitamin tablet.

Kamatchi (Acting) - Hey why are you people fighting for a small thing . I believe that Aaradhana didnt do it wantedly

Arjun - What if something happens to you , if she gave you some other tablet then...

Kamatchi - Arjun, Nothing happened to me. Aaradhana did it unknowingly. Now you people go and continue your work

After they all leave Rupali takes Kamatchi to their room and gives high five to each other

Rupali - The drift between Arjun and Aaradhana is very big. The next target is Poorva athai. Paati yesterday i heared some sound coming from Arjun room. So I spyed them as usal . I saw Poorva athai Slapping Aaradhana.

Rupali tells everything what Poorva told Arjun and Aaradhana in the previous night.

Kamatchi - Our task became simple.

After few hours Poorva comes down. She finds everything from Sathya.

She sees Aaradhana coming inside after taking dry clothes from balcony.

Poorva - Aaradhana, tell me did what I heared was true? Did you give wrong tablet to your paati.

Arjun who was walking down through stair case hides and starts listening their conversation

Aaradhana ( slowly ) - I didnt give

Poorva - I couldnt hear you

Aaradhana (shoots ) - Did you became deaf, I said I didnt give her the tablets

Poorva steps back, Arjun slaps Aaradhana

Arjun - Aaradhana,how can you speak like this to amma? Ask her sorry now.

Aaradhana pushes him and tells "Since you are a child , your paati forgives you this time. Dont raise your hands against you paati .And Dont come in between a mother and daughter. "

Arjun gets shocked.

Arjun - Aaradhana what are you talking ? You are my wife not my paati .

Aaradhana breaks the glass of the table

Aaradhana - Poorva, tell your son . Not to raise his voice against me . You know me well. In my home , I am the queen and people must obey what i am saying only . Or else I'll thrash them.

Arjun shouts Aaradhana.

Aaradhana falls in Arjun's hand in unconsious state

Kamatchi - Jayanthi

Arjun - Paati , what are you saying . This Aaradhana is acting . She is not Jayanthi paati

Poorva - No Arjun, my mother used to dominate others . And one more thing , my amma died when Aaradhana was 1 year old. Its impossible for her to remember about my Amma.

Arjun takes water and sprinkles on her

Arjun - Now truth will come out from her mouth

Aaradhana feels pain in her hand

Aaradhana - Arjun , what happened? How did I hurt my hands

Everyone gets shocked
