Mahi dropped Pari to her school.Pari was very upset.
P:Mumma,can I tell you something?
M:Tell.
P:Mumma,the ink fell on my ID card.What will I do?

M:What?Now only you are telling this?Why didn't you tell me before?
P:I was scared.
M:Oh!Show me the ID card.
Pari took the ID card from her bag.
M:My God!It's really spoiled.
Suddenly they heard a man's voice.
'Pari'.
P:Ranvi Sir!
Mahi looked at him.

P:Mumma...this is Ranvi Sir.
R:Hi...I'm Ranvijay.Pari's P.T Sir.
M:Good Morning Sir.Pari has told me about you.
R:Good Morning.I heard your conversation.Don't worry about the ID card.You can apply for a new one.Not a big deal.

M:Thank you very much Sir.

Mahi caressed Pari.
M:Pari,don't worry.We will get a new ID card.
P:Are you sure Mumma?I am really worried.
M:Haa beta.No need to worry.
Mahi kissed her and bid 'good-bye'.Mahi walked towards the office room to apply for a new ID card..

Unknowingly Ranvi's eyes got fixed on her.

From that day onwards Ranvi noticed Mahi.
He felt cute seeing Mahi hugging Pari

and sending her inside.He went to her.
R:I always hear Pari talk about her mother.But not about her father.Her father...?
Mahi's face became dull.
M:I am a single mother.

Ranvi was shocked.Mahi walked off.
After that whenever his eyes fell on Mahi he was reminded of Mahi being a single mother.

During the P.T class Pari fell down and hurt her leg.She cried bitterly.Ranvi took her to the hospital and got her leg bandaged.Then he called Mahi.
Then he rang up Mahi.
R:I am Ranvijay.Pari got hurt.
Mahi was shattered:Pari...
R:Now she is ok.So don't worry.
M:Where is Pari now?
R:City hospital.

Mahi rushed to the city hospital.She was upset seeing bandage on Pari's leg.But Pari was smiling.
P:Mumma...it's just a small wound.Still you are worried?Though when nurse aunty took injection I had pain,I have no pain now.
Mahi hugged her emotionally.
Mahi saw Ranvi.
M:Thanks a lot Ranvi Sir.
R:Call me just Ranvi and no need to thank me.I did my duty as a teacher.

Mahi smiled.

Mahi bought oinments and antibiotics for Pari from the Pharmacy.She aw Ranvi near her.
R:Sorry if I hurt you.Pari's father...is he alive or...?
Mahi felt upset.
M:You want to know if I am a widow or a divorcee or an unmarried mother.Right?

Ranvi was embarrassed.
M:If you want to know about Pari's father you need to know my family first...my parents and my sweet sister..

Mahi became emotional.

Mahi:My sister Narmada fell in love with a nice man.Jishnu Jeeju.But his father was a dirty goon.He was against their love.But our family supported him them and got them married.

Narmada di became pregnant.Those were the days of happiness.

Flash back...
Jishnu caressed Narmada's belly.
J:I can't wait to see my baby.
Narmada blushed.

Narmada gave birth to a baby girl.All were very happy.

The baby's naming ceremony was going well.The baby girl was named Pari.Suddenly JIshnu's dad Chandrakanth appeared.
C:You guys went against me.Do you all think you all can live happily hurting me?No never.

All were tensed.
Jishnu:Dad...please...no...

Chandrakanth pointed the gun towards Narmada.All were scared.He fired the gun.But Jishnu stood before Narmada and got shot.All were shocked.

Narmada couldn't bear it:Nooo...

Chandrakanth roared:Nooo
Chandrakanth shot Narmada.She fell on Jishnu.They all screamed.

The police caught Chandrakanth and Jishnu-Namrata got hospitalized.
Seeing Jishnu-Namrata through the ventilator window glass Mahi wept.

Jishnu-Namrata breathed their last together.Mahi and her parents cried loudly.
Mahi held baby Pari close to her bosom.
As time passed Mahi became Pari' real mother and Pari became Mahi's own daughter.

Present...

Ranvi felt sad hearing Mahi's story.Mahi burst into tears.

His heart pained seeing her flowing tears.

Unknowingly Ranvi wiped her tears and rested her head on his chest.

He caressed her head.Both came back to their senses and moved away from each other.

They felt awkward and parted their ways.

Pari was on leave for a few days.Ranvi missed Pari and Mahi.Mahi missed Ranvi and always thought of their cute embrace.
After a few days Mai came to drop Pari to school.Ranvi and Mahi smiled at each other.Unknowingly they shared an eye lock.
M:Tomorrow is Pari's birthday.There is a party in the evening.Ranvi should come.
He smiled:Sure.All the teachers are invited?
M:No,only you.
R:Why only me?
Mahi stammered:Because...because...you are the only teacher who is closer to us.
Ranvi was surprised.Slowly she blushed.He smiled.

Pari's birthday party...

Mahi and Ranvi were happy to see each other.Ranvi and Pari were also happy to see each other.
Pari cut the cake holding Mahi's and her parents' hands.

Mahi and Ranvi danced together and entertained Pari.

Poonam Ke Chand Ko
Ghoonghat Ke Neeche Chhupa Ke
Laayi Tere Liye
Duniya Se Nazarein Chura Ke

Peechhe Kuaa, Aage Mere Khaai
Tu Hi Bata Jaaun Main Kahaan
Mujhko Duaa Kiski Lagi Bhai
Aake Padhara Hoon Jo Yahaan
Ille Fikar, Aaja Idhar
Beat Pe Laga Le Tu Thumka

One Two Three Four Get On The Dance Floor
One Two Three Four Get On The Dance Floor
Booty Shake, Booty Shake
Dappan Koothu Hard Core
Shoulder Hichak Michak
Body Hichak Michak
Gimme, Gimme, Gimme
Gimme, Gimme, Gimme Some More...(Chennai Express).

Ranvi-Mahi enjoyed the party spending time together.

Slowly slowly Mahi and Ranvi came closer to each other.

One evening Ranvi lit fragrant red candles in darkness.Mahi felt nice about the fragrance.
He proposed to Mahi.
R:Mahi...Can you please let me be Pari's father?

Mahi was very happy and she nodded her head 'yes'.

M:You made our lives fragrant like these fragrant candles Ranvi.

He smiled.He came closer to her and held her hands together.She blushed.
