Aathiyan opened his eyes from the small nap he had taken after the long day of travel. He had a dream, more like a visual where he's with Kayanangai, she's holding his hand and smiling at him. In her presence, he felt peaceful and when she suddenly disappeared from his sight, he became agitated and there his sleep was disturbed.
He's still in disbelief that Kayanangai lied to him. He saw her talking to Veera, then she needed to say she was alone in the garden.
Maybe it's because of you, his mind hinted.
That's true, he always warned her to never go near him so she must have felt afraid to say the truth. He's failing somewhere, she's going away from him, and if he doesn't stop that happening he's afraid to lose her love.

But you are hiding so many things from me," "What did I hide from you?""I don't want to talk about this now," he said because there are a lot more important issues than this.
