Synopsis :
Sai convinced Shree and felt sorry about his mother's question. Shree joined back to work after her recovery. She struggled a lot to understand the concepts. When she was about to lose her hope , Sridharan , a new trainer gave her hope ad confidence. She also became one of his team member along with Swarna (ex room mate of Akhila). Shree went to meet Sai's Father , without the knowledge of Akhila. But Akhila came to know through Swarna that Shree was on leave. Akhila was extremely upset and decided to call her parents .
Telling a lie is not hard for you right ?
Shree exclaimed "No, No, Please , Don't do that. It will become a big problem". Akhila shouted in anger and said "If you are here , you are under my custody , if something is going to happen to you , I am the one who is responsible. I am so afraid of you now. I want our parents to know about this. You cheated me and I never accept this". Meanwhile she dialed their parent's number. Their dad picked the phone. Akhila told her dad to put the phone on speaker mode. She explained everything to her parents. Shree's mom got furious and shouted "You both are coming in next train to the town". As Akhila's phone was also in speaker mode. Shree replied in a low tone "That will not be possible , I can't take leave". Mom shouted at Shree "Oh ! You can take leave for Sai's parents and why not for us. I want to end this. Inform your office that I am not well and telling a lie is not hard for you right ?". Shree stood silent. Akhila packed all the things and got ready. Shree felt terrible and called Sridharan. Shree in a trembled tone "Sridharan ! I need leave tomorrow as my mom is not well. I am starting to the town tonight". Sridharan asked for further explanations. Shree started crying in phone and said "I will let you know once I reached the town". Srdharan said "Fine ! Do not worry! Mom will be fine. Do not cry". Shree said "Thanks" and disconnected the phone. Mean while ,Akhila was busy outside the room calling her friends . Shree texted to Sai in her phone about the situation and switched off the phone. They went to the railway station and boarded the train. Shree didn't sleep the whole night. She was much worried about her mom who was very angry. Time paced in high speed. As the train moves , She felt as if she is heading towards the volcano. At four in the morning , she slept.
Eat good and Cheat ! If you cheat us , Sai will cheat you !
Suddenly she woke up with the jerk . Akhila said "Next station , we need to get down , Get ready". Shree washed her face and got ready to get down. They reached the station. Both of them got down from the train. Shree walked slowly. Akhila shouted at her to walk fast. Shree with the gloomy face walked with her. They took an auto and reached their home. Though , Shree was afraid of her mom , She made up her mind that whatever happens she was not going to change her mind for anyone. She entered the home with lot of hesitation. Nobody talked and there was a pin drop silence. Mom called for morning breakfast. Everyone including Shree came to have breakfast. Shree sat with a plate in front of her. Shree's mom served her last, but Shree patiently waited. Finally, Mom served her with food . Shree could feel the anger when she served the food. Shree silently started eating the food. After. two bites, Shree's mom said in tears" Eat good and cheat us". Shree was keep on eating. Mom was furious as Shree acted as if she was not listening to her . Dad said "Let her have her breakfast first". Mom shouted at Shree "Don't you have any shame, How dare you go to their place. If you cheat us , Sai will cheat you. God is watching everything". Shree stopped having food and got up. She kept the plate in the kitchen and washed her hands. Dad said "Finish the breakfast in your plate". Shree said "I am full" and went to the bed room. She felt awful and desperate. She heard mom continuously scolding and threatening her. But , Shree stayed calm. Mom can't tolerate Shree being calm and out of anger she threw a container which was sharp edged at Shree. It hit on her forehead and she started bleeding. Shree's dad hurried to give her a first aid and he scolded Shree's mom for her action.
Neither lie or truth is a problem , Sai is the problem!
Shree's dad said to her "Shree! . Please tell her that you will forget Sai and never behave like this". Blood oozed from her forehead and tears oozed from her eyes. She said "I am not angry at mom, If you don't like me , I better go to an orphanage" and sobbed. She continued "When I told truth about him , Mom told that I am dared to speak like that, When I told a lie about him , I heard the same words. Dad said " Neither lie nor truth is the problem. Sai is the problem" . Shree said " Whatever you do , I can't forget Sai ". Dad convinced her but he failed. Finally Dad came to the conclusion that Shree can't be changed. Dad said "Whatever I say to mom , Just nod your head". He said to mom "Shree told me that she will forget him soon , but we need to give her some time. You should wait patiently. Is that right Shree ?". Shree blinked. Dad continued "Shree said these words to me , do not talk to her about this anymore". Dad convinced mom and booked tickets for both of them to Chennai. Mom said to Akhila "With in two months, we all will move to Chennai. I need to be with Shree , Otherwise everything will go out of our hand. You make necessary arrangements". Akhila nodded. Meanwhile Sai saw Shree's message and was stunned. He prayed to god that everything should be fine and expected call from Shree. Sai informed a friend about this in the town and asked to watch Shree's home closely. The friend informed that Shree and Akhila have taken a bus to Chennai. Hearing the news , Sai realized that everything was fine and was less worried that Shree somehow tackled the situation.
I thought you are too innocent to fall in love !
Shree and Akhila reached Chennai. She started to office. In office , Sridharan asked about her mom. Sridharan said "I called you many times but you didn't pick the call. What happened to your forehead ? Why are you wearing band aid". Shree somehow managed to answer his question. Later , Sridharan asked looking at her face "Shree , Are you alright ? Is something wrong with you ? ". Shree don't want to lie to Sridharan anymore. She said every thing that had happened. Sridharan was shocked to hear the story. Though the story was the serious one , Sridharan giggled and said "I can't believe that you fell in love with a person. I thought you are too innocent to fall in love". Shree smiled and said "Is the people who fall in love are not innocent? ". Sridharan smiled and said "I didn't mean that , But I got surprised". Shree took a deep breath and said "You are right! I started telling lot of lies which is definitely opposite of innocence". Though Sridharan smiled and made fun, his inner heart didn't like Shree fell in love with a guy who belongs to other caste. Sridharan said "Consider your parents too.. Shree !!, as they don't want you to get married to a guy who belongs to a different community". Shree heard silently and didn't talk back. Days passed. Shree's parents decide to move to Chennai. They packed their things. Meanwhile Akhila and Shree made necessary arrangements for a rented house. After lots of struggle , they gave advance money and booked a home for rent. Akhila took Shree to show the home. The home was in the main road and it was always busy. It had a big lawn in front of the home. An old lady and an old man , the owner of the home came with the bunch of keys to show the home. The home was old one , but looked good and situated in the main area. It had another home in upstairs. The old lady said "We are staying upstairs with my son , daughter-in law and my grand daughter and she is working in an IT company". Shree and Akhila smiled.
Is the home really a good home ?
Akhila asked Shree if she liked the home. Shree nodded and said "I never seen owner staying in upstairs and leaving the ground floor for rent. They usually stay in ground floor and rent the first floor . Is anything wrong ?". Akhila convinced her and said "I struggled to get a home like this in the main road in this price. I feel the people here are good. So do not think much". Shree nodded. Akhila continued "Tomorrow , we are vacating the hostel and coming here . Next week , Mom and Dad will reach here". Akhila also called her parents about the home been ready. Dad said "We will put all the things in a truck from here to Chennai. It will take a week to reach Chennai, By the time we would reach there". Akhila said "Ok fine , Take care" and disconnected the call. Both packed their things and reached home. They were alone in the home for three days. Shree was not fine in that home. Something was bothering her mind all the time. Akhila's bank account had zero balance and she was struggling for money. Shree gave her money to Akhila to pay the truck. It is somehow been spent and they don't had money for the truck. Akhila said "What is happening , I have never been like this after I joined a job. I need to borrow some money from my friend for the truck". That three days ,Akhila was also not happy in that home and said "Being here , Lot of problems. Is the home is really a good one ?. I really doubt that". Shree saw some water leakage in the wall. When they started to live in that home , they found so many faults. After three days , their parents arrived. Shree and Akhila was happy to see their parents. Akhila introduced the house owner to her parents. The old lady asked "When are your things are arriving from the town". Dad replied "In a couple of days". The house owner praised their home to the core. Akhila and Shree blinked at each other. They bad bye to them and left the place.
Her heart missed a beat !
That night , everyone finished their dinner and went to sleep. Everybody was sleeping in the living room which is the very first room of the home. The house had no balcony. The living room had a small window , through which they can see the road and the lawn. Shree's mom didn't get sleep. Whenever there is a bad omen or bad things happen , Shree's mom have some instincts before it happens. She felt cold tingling feeling and darkness feeling. As she was a person who does pooja and prayers all the time, she had the power to feel the paranormal as well. Suddenly her arms were freezing and were unable to move. She could feel something was terribly wrong. But others in the home were sleeping. She didn't disturb anyone and was thinking deeply about her feeling. Suddenly she heard a weird sound of cry from outside the living room. She managed herself to get up slowly without noise. She opened the window door slightly and looked at the lawn. She couldn't believe what she was seeing and paralysed with fear. She felt , she couldn't move and also couldn't drag her eyes away from that thing. She found a shadowy figure which looks like a lady with loose hair sobbing heavily. The cry became louder and louder. Shree's mom silently chanted prayers. The shadow figure seemed to re- position itself strangely as if it was turning to look at her. Mom realized it was looking at her and kept a step back and hurried to the bed. She closed her eyes tightly chanting vedic slogams. Her heart was beating at a high pace. After few minutes , she again went near the window. She was terribly shocked now and her heart missed a beat.
