When Our Paths crossed..

Ok to say No!!-Shivani's Visit to Chennai(Part5)

London,

"Mr. Arunachalam is showing good progress" The news was indeed a bliss to Nisha and Mrs. Arunachalam.

"Thank you so much Doctor"

"He is a strong man. He is just determined not to give up. Trust me! I am sincerely amazed by his determination". Arvind explained to Nisha and Mrs. Arunachalam. Arvind a young doctor, also a popular Cancer specialist in London. Since Mr.Arunachalam was his professor Dr.Murugan's recommended patient, Arvind always took an extra care to that old man. In due course, he was genuinely attracted to the old man's determination to live. Normally people of his age won't be able to withstand the treatment. But Mr.Arunachalam broke the stereotype.

"Enakku theriyum Doctor. He wont give up until he sees Shivani lead a happy life" Mrs. Arunachalam replied lost in thoughts.

"Shivani yaaru?? Unga ponna?? I have heard this name many times from him"

"Illa. Avaroda Thangachi ponnu"

"Sir.. avaroda tab la pic kamicharu. Romba azhaga irukanga"

It didn't take so long for Mrs. Arunachalam to understand what her husband was upto. Mrs. Arunachalam had nothing to comment. She just smiled at the doctor while Nisha was lost in thoughts. Mrs. Arunachalam wasn't aware of any encounters between Ashwin and Shivani except for the scandal. Nisha knew what was brewing between them. But the fact that they are way ahead of her thoughts was going to screw her for sure.
