"Arjun met with an accident, Naren," said Mahima. Naren was shocked. On the other hand, Mahima told him, "I have admitted Arjun to Lifeline Hospital; the doctors said that he lost blood profusely, and they told me that he has an O-negative blood group, which is a rare blood group."

"Come fast, Naren; we have to search for a blood donor," said Mahima. Naren said, "I am coming, Mahima," and hung up the phone quickly. Vasuki, Nimmi, Manyatha, and Kavitha were shocked to see Naren's panic-stricken face.

Naren informed them about Arjun's accident and asked them to get into his car to go to the hospital.

Ragini, who came downstairs at that moment, observed Naren informing the security guard about something and everyone else getting into Naren's car, which Naren drove. "Why and where did all these people leave in such haste?" she inquired of the security guard.

"Mam, Arjun sir met with an accident and got admitted to Lifeline Hospital; Naren sir told me to inform Vikranth sir and Rajashekharan sir of this because they were not answering his calls," the security guard replied.

On the other hand, on their way to the hospital, Nimmi was in shock, and she didn't utter a word because she couldn't come to terms with Arjun's accident. Vasuki was distraught, Kavitha was crying uncontrollably, and Manyatha was consoling her, and finally, they reached the hospital.

"Naren, do you know someone with an O-negative blood group because I am unable to find a blood donor?" Mahima asked Naren.

"That's my blood group; I will donate the blood," Manyatha, who stood beside Naren, told Mahima, and she went on to donate the blood. Everyone felt relieved to some extent after that.

Ritu Varma as Manyatha

"How was this accident caused?" Naren asked Mahima.

"Arjun was driving his car quickly, and a guy was trying to cross the road quickly without caring about the vehicles in his path; when Arjun's car was about to hit that guy, he turned it in another direction to avoid hitting that guy; since Arjun was driving the car fast, he lost control over it and hit the tree trunk; the people present at the accident spot told me about it," Mahima explained.

"I have tried to reach Vikranth and Shekhar uncle by calling them over the phone, but they haven't answered my calls, so I called you over the phone," Mahima told Naren.

"They haven't answered my phone calls either; they might be in a meeting; that's why they haven't answered both our calls," said Naren.

"Don't worry, Mahima; I have informed the security guard about Arjun's accident and hospital address, and he will inform them as soon as they reach home," Naren assured Mahima.

Meanwhile, Vikranth took his phone after the meeting and signing of the deal was over, saw Mahima's calls, and called her. He was devastated upon hearing about Arjun's accident. He informed Rajashekharan about Arjun's accident, and they both rushed to the hospital.

Ragini was disappointed because no one informed her about Arjun's accident, and she went to the hospital and asked Mahima, "What happened?" Vikranth interfered before Mahima could answer and said, "You are the reason for his accident, and you're asking as if you know nothing."

"You hurt Arjun a day before by accusing him of showing bias between Vikram and me, and today you hurt him by accusing him of being irresponsible and roaming around with Nimmi," Vikranth raged.

Nimmi, who was in shock, became enraged upon hearing Vikranth's words, as they indicated how badly Ragini had hurt Arjun. "Ragini, you have no right to see Arjun; go away," Nimmi yelled angrily.

"Don't act as if you care for Arjun; you've hurt him the most," said Nimmi.

"I am Arjun's sister-in-law, Nirmitha; I have all the rights to see him, but you're just his friend's sister," Ragini taunted Nimmi.

"You are Arjun's brother's wife only; he hadn't accepted you as his family member; I don't care what you think because everyone here knows that I hold a special place in Arjun's life," Nimmi responded to Ragini's taunt.

"No, Nimmi, she is correct; she has all the rights over Arjun, but she loves to show her rights over him only by falsely accusing and insulting him," Vikranth taunted Ragini, expressing his disgust. Mahima was taken aback upon seeing Vikranth's anger.

"Just get lost, Mrs. Ragini Vikram; you are nobody to us, and one more thing, Nimmi is not just Arjun's friend's sister; she is our family member," said Vikranth.

"Get out of here; don't ever think of coming here on the pretext of seeing Arjun; I won't let you near him," Nimmi warned Ragini.

Ragini, who became upset because Vasuki, Rajashekharan, and Kavitha remained silent when Vikranth and Nimmi berated her, left the hospital in anger.

"Mahima, I want to speak with hospital authorities," Vikranth immediately said after Ragini left. Mahima went on to call the hospital management. "No one is allowed to visit Arjun without my permission," Vikranth instructed the hospital management, and they followed his instructions.

Ragini went to her father's house. She told her father everything that happened after her marriage.

"Do you want to live with the people who don't respect you by killing your self-respect for the sake of your husband, forgetting the fact that he has never been there for you whenever you needed him the most?" He asked Ragini.

"Have you ever felt happy in your marital life and its progression?" He continued to question Ragini.

"Nirmitha and Vikranth insulted you; your in-laws didn't react when Vikranth scolded you as he is a family member; how could they remain silent when Nirmitha, an outsider, belittled you?" "They have prioritised an outsider over their daughter-in-law," Ragini's father explained.

"Ragini, you have to tolerate insults if you wish to live as a daughter-in-law of their family," stated Ragini's father.

"Ragini, take some time to think about your future; I know it's hard to decide, but it's time to make a decision," he said and went away.

On the other hand, the doctor came after performing surgery and told Mahima, "The patient is out of danger; he will regain his consciousness after a few hours," and everyone thanked the doctor.

"You have to thank these two ladies because one of them admitted him to the hospital without wasting time and another donated blood in the hour of need; he is alive because of these two only," the doctor said, looking at Mahima and Manyatha, and went away.

When Arjun's family thanked Manyatha and Mahima, they said, "Arjun is our family member, and there is no need to thank us."

"I have been trying to reach Vikram by calling him over the phone since we got to know about Arjun's accident, but he is not answering my calls," Vikranth told Rajashekharan.

"Vikram might be busy preparing a presentation for tomorrow's meeting; that's why he is not answering your calls," Rajashekharan said. He continued, "Now that Arjun is safe, we will inform Vikram about Arjun's accident when he returns here by tomorrow night," and Vikranth agreed with him.

The hospital receptionist stopped Divya and called Vikranth, informing him that Divya had come to visit Arjun. Vikranth went to the reception and asked Divya to come with him.

"Arjun eppdi irukkaan?" Divya asked Vikranth. "Avan ippo safe ah irukkan," Vikranth replied.

"Avan car fast ah drive pannuvaan reckless ah drive pannamaattan appdi irukumbodhu eppdi indha accident nadandhadhu?" Divya asked Vikranth.

He explained to Divya how Ragini's words hurt Arjun and how Arjun's accident occurred. He told Divya about how he scolded Ragini because he held her responsible for Arjun's accident. He also told Divya about the argument between Nimmi and Ragini at the hospital, where Ragini insulted Nimmi by saying that Nimmi was just Arjun's friend's sister.

"Naanum, Nimmiyum avalai thitti veliya poga sollitom aval kovapattu indha edathai vittu poirukka," said Vikranth.

"Oru vithama Arjunku accident aanadhukku kaaranam Ragini thaan adhanaala neengalum Nimmiyum avalai thittunadhu thappe kidayadhu," said Divya.

"Raginiyai marubadiyum inge vara vidakoodadhunu nenaichen, adhanaala en permission illaame yaarayum Arjunai paakka vida koodadhunu hospital management kitta solliten," Vikranth explained to Divya.

"Neenga senjadhu sari dhaan appdi seiyyalana Ragini marupadiyum vandhu sandai poduva," Divya said.

Meanwhile, Arjun regained consciousness and asked the nurse to call Nimmi. Nimmi came inside to see Arjun. Arjun felt terrible when he saw Nimmi's teary eyes. He gestured for her to sit on a chair beside his bed.

"Azhaadhe Nimmi enaaku onnum aagala seegram ellaam sari aagidum," Arjun consoled Nimmi.

"Enakku accident aagi irundhaa nee azhamaattiya?" Nimmi asked Arjun.

"Nimmi inime ippdi pesadhe," Arjun told Nimmi seriously.

"Namma nesichchavangalaku edhavadhu nadandhaal nammalala thaangika mudiyadhu," said Nimmi.

"Unakku edhavadhu aagitta unnai nesikkiravanga mattum thaan kashtapaduvanga," Nimmi continued.

"Unna pathi purinjikkaama unnai kaayapaduthuravanga kitta irundhu vilagi iru," Nimmi advised Arjun.

"All right, Nimmi Madam, ippovavadhu sirikkalame," said Arjun.

Nimmi smiled, but Arjun noticed that she didn't smile wholeheartedly. Meanwhile, he saw Naren, Divya, Manyatha, and Mahima coming alongside his family.

"I am scared to even think of what would have happened to you if Mahima hadn't seen you at the accident spot and admitted you to the hospital, and Manyatha hadn't donated the blood to you," Vikranth told Arjun.

"My dear angels, I know that you both would scold me if I said thanks, but I won't forget your help in this life," Arjun said, looking at Mahima and Manyatha.

"Never ever pay heed to the words of people who don't know your value," Naren told Arjun.

"Naren is right; don't ever care about the words and thoughts of senseless people," Mahima suggested Arjun.

"Arjun, you have to ignore not only Ragini but also people with a mindset like hers," Divya advised. "I came to your house to share the news that makes you happy, but then I got to know about your accident from the security guard," said Divya.

"What's that news?" Arjun asked Divya.

"The bank has approved our loan, and we can set up our restaurant's new branch," Divya replied.

"That's great news indeed," Arjun said, smiling.

"I will be fine, so don't worry about me," Arjun told everyone.

"All of you go and relax; Nimmi will stay here," Arjun said; though no one had initially accepted, Arjun convinced them.

The next day, Manyatha came to see Arjun. "Arjun, I need to leave for Delhi to write my final exam, which is due in two days; take care," Manyatha said.

"All the best, Manyatha; Nimmi is here to take care of me, don't worry," Arjun said. "I will drop her off at the airport," Mahima said, and she went along with Manyatha.

Vikram arrived in Chennai and reached home. He was shocked upon hearing about Arjun's accident from the security guard.

He went to the hospital and saw Arjun. He was shattered upon seeing his younger brother lying on a hospital bed with severe injuries. Arjun assured him, saying, "Don't worry, Anna; I will be fine."

"Dad, why didn't you inform me about Arjun's accident earlier?" Arjun asked Rajashekharan.

"Vikranth called you several times, but you didn't answer his calls; then I told him that since Arjun is safe, we will inform you after you return," Rajashekharan replied.

"How was this accident caused?" Vikram asked Vikranth.

Vikranth told him about how the accident was caused. "What was the need for Arjun to drive the car that much faster to the extent that he lost control over the car?" Vikram said.

"Because Arjun drove the car in anger," said Vikranth. "What's the reason for his anger?" Vikram asked Vikranth.

"Your beloved wife had hurt him by accusing him of showing bias between you and me," Vikranth angrily answered.

"She accused him of being irresponsible and enjoying his life by spending our dad's money and provoked him by saying that instead of focusing on business, he was focusing on roaming around with Nimmi," he told Vikram.

"Ragini unnecessarily dragged Nimmi's name while falsely accusing him; it was the last straw for Arjun, and at that very moment he lost his temper," stated Vikranth.

"Who on earth doesn't get angry when someone falsely accuses them and drags their girlfriend's name unnecessarily?" Vikranth asked Vikram.

Vikranth's question left Vikram bewildered. Vikram was unable to answer it.

Vikram was taken aback upon hearing Vikranth's words, as he never thought Ragini's impulsive nature would nearly destroy Arjun's life.
