Barath told Selvam ‘book me an air ticket to Mumbai tomorrow evening’
Selvam said ‘yes sir, I will and what about your return’
Barth said ‘I do not know my return yet, I don’t know, when the work will be done’
He said ok and left from his room to book the ticket and prepared the file for his departure.

It’s been a two years, Barath established his business most of the major parts of the world. He was travelling extensively and extended his business everywhere. He has team working for him everywhere. He has offices everywhere. Selvam is still working with him and he is the right hand of Barath both his business and personal and he is his friend and they two will do anything for each other.
Barath worked hard to forget his loving wife.Night and day she was haunting him, he knew, he was responsible for this situation. He was worried about his wife, his loving girl Rathi, where is she, he knew how much she’ll be suffering just like him or more than him. He was cursing himself as how irresponsible husband, a lover he was…. He did not expect his mother to behave so bad and get rid of his loving wife off of his life, from the day he left his home he did not speak to his mother yet.
It’s been, more than two years he has not seen her anywhere in the world, he was sure she did not inform her parents of her whereabouts, when he contacted them about a year and half ago through some agencies. He pretended to live with her, though she was not living with him, When he gets home he calls her name, he spoke to her every night pretending she is with him and tell her everything that had happened during the day. He will watch their wedding video every night. He had their wedding picture in his wallet and in his brief case.
Bharathi left from Singapore to USA with a good opportunity from another bank, about a year ago and she accepted the offer since it was good and she needed a change, at that point, she told her parents, that she has got an offer in United States and she is leaving. They asked her to come home to see them and go. She refused, she cannot see her parents as she was guilty and she is not ready see their face.
She told her parents that the ticket was booked from Bangalore to Singapore and from there she will be leaving for US. Her parents told her that they would come and see her at Bangalore but she said I am already in Singapore and her flight was the next day itself.
Her parents asked her if they’d done any mistake that she is refusing to see them and give excuses whenever they wanted to visit Bangalore. She could not reply to them on why she was avoiding them. How can she tell them that she met a man the same day she fell in love and the next day she married him and in two days they were separated. Even a teenager will think twice, if anyone says, ‘I love you and marry me tomorrow,’ but she, without thinking or did not have the courage to tell him to wait or to get lost.
Before, she left for US, she already, contacted her aunt and spoke to her from Singapore before she left from there, her aunt told her, that she will pick her up from the airport but she refused and she said my bank had arranged for the pickup and she need not come to the airport. She asked her if she is coming home, and her aunt took her flight details. It was a surprise she came to the airport to see her. Then she made her stay with her in their house.
Now she has come to her apartment, thinking of her past and how long does she have to live like this? She didn’t have any idea, on what she would do all alone. I want to see mom and dad it’s been two and half years now I have not seen them. I am the only one for them and I have to keep them happy. I think I have to tell them, what happened even if they are angry on me. But how? Will I be? She was thinking and thinking and thought of going to the park nearby and was getting ready, she got a phone call from her office. She saw the name and it was Mr.Gosh called her, she picked up the call he asked her ‘what happened to you Ms.Barathi? Why didn’t you come to office today?
She said’ I wasn’t well Mr.Gosh, I informed to Mr.Sanjay this morning,’
“Oh! Yeah, he told me but I called you to ask you how you are doing now? Will you be able to come tomorrow? We’ve an important meeting tomorrow, without you, this meeting is not possible or else should I move to another day?’
She said ‘not necessary, I will be able to make it for the meeting tomorrow, what time is the meeting Mr.Gosh? He said the time and it’s in the hotel and we will have our late lunch tomorrow. The meeting might take time, so be prepared for that.’ And he hung the phone and so did she.
She thought of going out and she changed her mind and remained home, again she started thinking of her husband. She loved him so much, even though, she was angry on him, she wanted to see him and hug and kiss him. She desperately needed him.
