Recap: Kavin and Yazhini's cute moments. â¤ï¸

--------------------------

At Chezhiyan's mansion in the living room,

Nithya stops Vinay on his track.

Nithya: where are you going, Vinay?

Vinay: I have to go to my home! How long I can stay here after all she is here.

Nithya: What She has done to you? She is just a scaredy-cat. And why did you glare at her while eating? It looked like you were gawking at her.

Vinay caressed her cheek, you don't know about her Nithya! She came here just for money. She's acting as a kind and good girl just to claim all the assets.

Nithya: I don't think so Vinay! I have seen a lot of ladies in my business field and outside too. They will at least react to my outburst and gaslighting. But Nila... She didn't even try to protest and she didn't even fight against me. I can only see the care and some of the concerns she has for me. Even when I talked so rudely, she was so calm. I was so rude as I tried to test her whether she was perfect for my brother or not and if she was really the good one or not and she is! I think you misunderstood everything, Vinay. My instincts say that Nila is the perfect one for him. The way their eyes spoke love when she served him.

Vinay's mv: oh god! What she's doing to everyone! That bi*ch is literally charming everyone with her words and wrapping them around her finger." Idiot! Do something to manipulate Nithya. She is the only pawn you are having against them.

Nithya: What are you thinking Vinay?

Vinay quickly masked his irritation with a forced smile, turning back to Nithya.

Vinay: Nothing, just thinking about what you said. But trust me, Nithya, Some people are good at pretending, Nithya. They put on a sweet face when they're after something.

Nithya raised an eyebrow, skeptical.

Nithya: Vinay, I've met plenty of deceptive people. But Nila doesn't give off that vibe at all. There's a sincerity in her eyes, a quiet strength. She doesn't even defend herself when attacked - that's not the behaviour of someone with a hidden agenda.

Vinay clenched his fists, trying to keep his frustration in check. He knew he couldn't afford to lose Nithya's support. She was the only one who could sway the family's opinion about Nila.

Vinay: Alright, Nithya, maybe you're right. Maybe I judged her too soon. I'll try to see her through your eyes. But just... be cautious, okay? Sometimes, people hide their true motives well. I'd hate for you or Chezhiyan to get hurt.

Nithya: (softening) I appreciate your concern, Vinay, but I really think Nila's intentions are pure. She brings something out in Chezhiyan - I haven't seen him this way before.

Vinay forced a smile, nodding. But inside, his mind was racing.

Vinay's mv: I need to turn this around, fast. If Nithya keeps defending Nila, I'll lose any chance of breaking them apart. Fine, if words won't work, I'll have to find another way. I'll expose her somehow.

Nithya hugged Vinay and patted his back.

Nithya: Well, I hope you see what I see soon. Give her a chance, Vinay. She's not the enemy.

Vinay nodded, the mask of a calm expression barely holding as he bid Nithya goodbye and walked away

As he stepped outside the mansion, his face darkened with anger.

Vinay's mv: Enjoy this peace while it lasts, Nila. Soon enough, everyone will see the real you.

At Chezhiyan's office room, chezhiyan hugged her and sought comfort and Nila caressed his hair and said, Chezhiya! Please don't trust anyone blindly!

Chezhiyan was kissing her neck and his words muffled, Why Nila? What happened?

Nila: Not everyone you think as an idiot is not an idiot! They might be planning something against us.

Chezhiyan pulled back slightly, gazing into Nila's eyes with concern and curiosity.

Chezhiyan: Do you think someone here has ill intentions?

Nila hesitated, not wanting to worry him but feeling the need to warn him.

Nila: I just... I have a feeling, Chezhiyan. You're surrounded by people who don't always have your best interests at heart. Sometimes, they smile in front of you, but behind your back, their intentions might be different.

Chezhiyan tightened his grip around her waist, his gaze serious.

Chezhiyan: Are you talking about Vinay?

Nila looked away, unsure how to answer. She didn't want to accuse anyone directly, especially without solid proof. But she had noticed the way Vinay looked at her, the way his words were laced with contempt.

Nila: I don't know, Chezhiyan. But please, just... be careful. Don't trust everyone so easily.

Chezhiyan smiled softly, placing a gentle kiss on her forehead.

Chezhiyan: I trust you, Nila. Only you. You've become my anchor, my peace. I don't need anyone else's loyalty as long as I have yours.

Nila felt her heart swell at his words, and she couldn't help but rest her head on his shoulder, feeling a sense of warmth and safety.

But deep inside, Chezhiyan's mind was racing. If Nila's instincts were right, there could be someone close to him harbouring resentment or worse, betrayal.

Chezhiyan: (whispering) I won't let anyone harm you, Nila. Not while I'm here. You mean too much to me.

As they held each other, Chezhiyan noticed Nila's silence and the worry in her eyes.

Chezhiyan: Nila, what aren't you telling me? I can see you're holding back.

Nila took a deep breath, hesitant but feeling the need to be honest.

Nila: It's Vinay. He... he seems to have something against me. I don't know what I did, but I feel his anger whenever he looks at me. It's like he thinks I'm here for the wrong reasons. Also, his eyes showed something different. I felt he was gawking at me.

Chezhiyan's expression darkened, his protective instinct kicking in.

Chezhiyan: Vinay? He wouldn't dare do anything to harm you. If he tries, he'll answer to me.

Nila touched his hand, trying to calm him.

Nila: I don't want you to confront him-not yet. I just wanted you to know, in case... in case something happens. Please, be careful around him. He's unpredictable.

Chezhiyan took her hand and brought it to his lips, his voice a low whisper.

Chezhiyan: Nila, as long as you're with me, no one can touch you. I'll make sure Vinay doesn't bother you again. You're the only one I trust completely.

Nila: why do you trust me? We don't even know each other for a long time.

Chezhiyan: I don't know. But I feel safe and trusted. I feel so comfortable with you and I wish we could take this relationship slow! But we have a long time ahead I will give you a lot of fun and surprises! I won't make you worried about choosing me and trusting me.

Nila pulled back from the hug and with a frown, she said

" I have to go home, Chezhiya!" I don't know how I would manage to fake the reasons I left my home yesterday evening.

Chezhiyan: "Are you sure you have to go right now? You just got comfortable here."

Nila paused, her heart heavy with the decision. She knew her family would expect her soon, especially with the looming engagement plans. But leaving Chezhiyan felt difficult. She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, not daring to meet his gaze.

Nila: "I have to, Chezhiyan. My family needs me. I... can't delay it any longer."

Chezhiyan stepped closer, gently placing a hand on her shoulder, sensing something deeper in her tone. "Are you sure everything's okay? You seem... distant."

Nila forced a smile, hoping it would hide the turmoil inside. "Everything's fine. Just... some family matters I need to handle."

But Chezhiyan wasn't convinced. He wanted to ask more, to understand what was going on, but he held back, trusting that she would tell him in time. He brushed his thumb gently across her cheek.

Now they are walking in the living room. Nithya was standing and her eyes looked at her with care and guilt.

Nithya: where are you going? Nila?

Chezhiyan: She's going to her Home. She can't stay here forever.

Nithya's eyes showed longing and sadness but she didn't give up her boldness and she stood straight with no emotions. But she couldn't fake it as her eyes didn't lie.

Nila looked at her with a smile. Are you gonna miss me Nithya? By the way, you have put on a nice emotionless face and acting all the way you can hate me. But your eyes. Aww, it's so expressive. I know you are a little jealous of me. Taking your brother from you. But I can't separate your precious bond!

Nithya: I HATE YOU!

She came running and hugged her by force.

Nila stroked Nithya's hair! Oh, Nithu ! I know that you put up your act. But you tested me well and now are you confirmed that I'm the really perfect match for your brother?

Nithya hummed and pulled back from the hug. Her eyes welled up. Na azhudhadha veliya yaaru kittayum sollathinga. Naan oru arrogant Business woman. (don't tell to anyone outside. I'm an arrogant Businesswoman.)

Nila: But for me, you are the sensitive and so fragile Nithu!

Nithya: why are you so kind?

Nila: Manufacturing defect!

They laughed and Chezhiyan still frowned looking at Nila.

Nila: Chezhiyan please smile. I have to go and I have to dream this dull face in my dream.

Chezhiyan: "I understand. But promise me you'll come back soon. I already miss you."

Nila smiled, her heart aching. "I'll be back as soon as I can. Promise."

As she turned to leave, Chezhiyan pulled her into a quick embrace, his warmth enveloping her. He whispered into her ear, "Stay safe, Nila. And if anything's bothering you, you know I'm here."

Nila hugged him back, tightly, wishing she could stay in this moment forever. But her family's expectations were waiting, and the weight of her secret engagement plan pressed heavily on her shoulders.

Nila, take this car, and please instruct the driver to drop you at your destination.

Nithya and Chezhiyan bid bye to her as she sat in Chezhiyan's car.
