Anika stepped her foot on the staircase and walked nervously to anirudh's room.Anika shivered in horror and cautiously twisted the room door knob to find it empty.As soon anika entered Anirudh's room. "Koodha Kaadhu" song was played.
                          
She looked around the room which was decorated with rose petals on the bed and flowers were hung. The floral cent perfume which was sprayed around the room, caught her attention. She was mesmerized by the beauty of the room. Her eyes wandered for anirudh. He was no where to be seen in the room.
                          
Anika tensely walked towards the self were anirudh's memorable things were kept as a showcase.She turned off the song which kept on playing. And she was admiring at the tattoo drawings which was sticked to the wall.Just in time, she felt someone caressing her waist insanely.
                          
She knew it would be anirudh.He crawled his hand around anika's waist and nuzzled her working upwards to her neck. His hot breathe air hit at anika's cheeks and shirved at his touch intensively, closed her eyes. Anirudh's hand were working up on its way towards her drape of her saree. Anika thought anirudh is going to something mischief but then anirudh wrapped his arm around her stomach and placed his chin on her shoulder.
                          
"Anika! I need to talk to you." Anirudh whispered.
                          
Anika just stared at him in widened eyes. Anirudh slowly took her near to the bed and made her to sit
comfortably. He sat beside her and holded her hands.
                          
"Anika, I want to know if it's good to start our life. Because I haven't planned anything. I guess you know,
What I meant." Anirudh said, with a serious tone.
                          
Anika's heart beated a second and she was taken a back by his words. She looked at him in utter shock. She thought she would definitely disappoint but her thought just got ruined in shot.
                          
"Anika, What's wrong? What are you thinking of?" Anirudh asked, waving his hand infront.
                          
"Actually anirudh,Even I wanted to talk about this to you.To be frank, I wasn't ready at all because I wanted to confess something to you." Anika said, softly.
                          
"What is the that you wanted confess to me." Anirudh asked, uncertainly.
                          
"But anirudh, Im scared that you'll be hurted or it will disappoint you." Anika said, reculantanly.
                          
Anirudh cupped anika's face with both of his hands and lifted it up to face him.He made her to look deep inside his eyes.Anika melted at that first sight as his nervoused cold breathe caught her.
                          
"Anika,You're not normal.Something is bothering you.Just split it out, you're my wife my better half whatever you say wouldn't hate.It will make me to understand your situation." Anirudh said, genuinely.
                          
Anika was once again taken by his words. She knew anirudh is a romantic who fall on easily but she never knew that he would trust his better half this much. Anika fixed her gaze at the blanket.
                          
"Anirudh you're a celebrity so all your personal life details and relationship status would just come into medias. But me, I'm a simple girl as I'm your better half I want you to know about my past life.Likewise you and arthi were in love and you both broke up because of your personal problems. Just like that I was in a relationship too.You can think it as a common thing. But I can't because with that only I'm going to face problems."    Anika said.
                          
Anirudh looked bluntly at anika and with much confused and shocked expression. She could see his confusion stressing.
                          
"Without Further I do let me finish with what I wanted to say. I was in love with my collegemate Harish for 2 years,we both were the cutest couple in our college. But it all ruined in one shot because he wasn't loving me truly, he loved me just for my status and the companies that my dad owns.But me, I truly loved him I can say I'm like you in this case.I fall in love easily and be so romantic.Im not really able to forget his memories, I have been trying it for past months. But after when I met you in person everything changed me, untill I met that idiot again on our reception day. His words which he said into my ears are still echoed.He told me that he is going to ruin my life and not make me live happily with you.And now I'm really worried about this.Without sorting this problem out I can never live happily anirudh.I just need some more time to get these out from my heart and mind, more than that I need to make love with you first.I knew you only as a music director.Not as my husband. And last but not least my exams haven't finished I need to achieve my dream then only I can spend time for this is all. Since my parents wished for me to get married, I couldn't stop their hopes and I accepted it just of their happiness."Anika explained.
