Swati was busy working in her laptop in a meeting room when she got a call from her mom.

Swati:
"Haan! Sollu Ma!"

Amma:
"Enna di sollu nu sollura! Inniku 7 pm ku andha paiyana meet pananum! Nyabaga irruka illaya!"

Swati got annoyed by her mom.

Swati:
"Yen Ma! Phone pana vonnaku indha hi hello sollura pazhakam la illaya? Eppo paru edha sollite irru! And yen ippo sudden ah? Ennaku nallaeku orru important ana client call irruku..adhuku presentation prepare pananum..innikey thaan paathu aganuma enna?"

Amma:
"Haan yen di solla matta? First college mudikunum nu sonna! Aprrom Master's nu sonna! Adhuku approm career ku Bangalore shift ana padhadhuku, Bangalore la irruka paiyan thaan venum nu condition potta! Ella porruthom um correct ah irruku di ! Nee poi paakura! Solliten! Ellam von Appa kudutha chellam thaan! "

Swati:
"Seri seri kathadha! Porren porren! Avan number and meet panura venue sollu!"

Amma:
"Adhu naan nethey anipichitene! Adiyeee appo nee en message ah paakuliya?!"

Swati gave a thirrutu muzhi. But she maintained her Rowdy gethu and replied to her Mom.

Swati:
" Haan adhula paathen ! Work tension la marrendhuten!"

Amma:
"Adhu seri...aham apporm uruzhanga chudi illa kurthi madhri edha pottutu pi! Indha modern dress la pottu pogadha! Latchanama pottu itutu po seria?"

Swati pouted and sighed

Swati:
"Ahaan seri poduren!"

Swati closed her laptop and came out of the meeting room and walked towards her cubicle.

As soon as she reached her desk, she
started looking through her bag in which she always carried some spare clothes.

She always had to travel quite frequently for her work. So she always had some spare clothes on the go.

She realised she only had 1 indian dress which she had packed for her upcoming friend's engagement.

Swati's MV:
Inniku orru naal mattum pottutu, day after day ku repeat pana yaaru ku theriya pogudhu....

Thinking this she took the Indian wear and went and changed in the washroom.

She quickly went to her car and started to go to the pre decided meeting place.

She was least bit interested in this meet up with this unknown guy. Swati just wanted to finish this meet up as soon as possible and just go home already.

Just as she was parking her car in the car park, her phone vibrated indicating a call.

She ignored the vibration and safely parked her car.

Her phone continued to vibrate.

She picked her phone to see:

"Unknown guy no. 7" was calling her.

She looked outside the car window and noticed a guy's back who was in phone. He was wearing a blue ish grey shirt and leaning against his car.

Swati guessed he must be the person she was supposed to meet and quickly got out of the car and locked it.

She swiftly walked towards him while ignoring his continous call.

She went and stood behind him.

Swati:
"Hi"

He thought it was in the phone and said Hello in the phone.

Swati suppressed her giggle and poked him on his shoulder with a finger.

At her poke, he turned around making her freeze for a second taking in his handsome and bright face.

And said Hi with cute smile making his dimples appear.
Her mind cautioned her. Reminded her how so called handsome men had treated her in the past.

He introduced himself with the same smile,

"Abhi.."

"Swati..."

Abhi smiled and motioned with his hand.

Abhi:
"Shall we..?"

Swati nodded her head making him smile.

He opened the door of his car for her making her pause and look at him and then she got inside.

Abhi and Swati settled in the car and Abhi handed a bouquet of flowers to Swati.

Abhi:
"This is for you.."

Swati smiled hesitantly and accepted it.

Swati:
"Thank you..!"

Abhi:
"Ungaluku pasikudha? Inga oru Italian restaurant irruku..reviews kuda nala irruku...or where do you think we should go? I mean you know this place better than I do.."

Swati:
"Ungaluku Indian ok va?"

Abhi:
"Haan.."

Swati:
"Great Appo namma pakathula irruka orru indian restaurant ku polam! Avan seekrom kondaruvan! Approm seekrom veetuku poidulam..."

Swati stopped mid sentence realising her olar.

She gave him a sheepish smile and tried to salvage the situation.

Swati:
"Illa rombo pasikudhu..anga seekrom sapadu kondu varuvan..adhaan.."

Abhi supressed his smile and nodded his head.

Both of them drove to the restaurant with occasional directions from Swati. While Abhi would silently look at Swati from time to time trying to gauge her thinking and her mood.

They finally reached the place. And before Abhi could completely park the car and get out, Swati quickly hopped out of the car and started walking towards the restaurant at a brisk pace.

Abhi got out of the car and followed her behind shaking his head with a smile.

She quickly asked a waiter on the way,

Swati:
"Anna! Edom enga na galiya irruku?"

Waiter :
"Adho anga galia irruku Ma! Anga poi okaru! Naan order eduka varen!"

Swati:
" Haan thanks ney! Approm Vettula Amma eppudi irrukanga? Ippo OK la?"

Waiter :
"Nee senja help nala ippo avanga nala irrukanga ma! Vonnaku eppudi nandri solluradhu ney therila!"

Swati:
"Aiyooo idhula enna ney irruku! Nandri la periya varthey la solllandhinga! Ok?!"

Waiter bro smiled and nodded his head
Then he left since someone was calling him.

Abhi was quitely admiring her and chuckled.

Swati then realised she was not alone and turned around to see Abhi already smiling at her.

Swati slowly smiled and nodded her head.

They then went and sat.

There was few moments of silence.

Then the same Waiter from before came for taking order.

Swati:
"Anna! Ennaku orru Mushroom Biriyani! Biriyani la karam konjom thookala panunga! Aprom...orru plate bread baji with green chutney! Approm...ahaan! Orru Hot Chocolate with extra chocolate ok va? Aprom ahan ! Avalodhan!"

Waiter:
"Seri da!"

Swati pouted at Waiter Anna.

Swati:
"Anna konjom seekrom kondu va ney passikudhu.."

Waiter bro nodded his head with a smile.
Then looked at Abhi to take his order.

Swati followed waiter Anna eye direction snd then again realised she was not alone.

Swati MV:
Che! Namma kuda onnur jeevan vandhirukula! Adhuku enna sapadu venum nu keka marrendhutene..adhu yen unnum order panama namma moonjiye paakudhu..? Namma face la edha irruka enna? Che che illaye ...office lendhu kelamba modhu check panitu thaane vandhom..seri idhuku enna venum nu keppom..

Swati:
"Um...ungaluku enna venum..?"

Abhi then realised she was asking him something.

Abhi:
"Haan?"

Swati:
"Illa sapuda enna venumnu..."

Abhi:
"Oh yeah! One Dosa - thakkali chutney and a glass of water! Thats it!"

The waiter nodded and left.

Swati:
"Thani edhuku thaniya order panuringa? Adhulam automatic ah kudupanga.."

Abhi gave her a look.

Abhi Mv:
Enna ivolo asalta ah namala damage panita..

Abhi:
"Kudika Thani sonnadhu kuthama?"

Swati nodded her head.

Abhi:
"Bangalore weather nala irruku la.."

Swati looked at him incredulously.
Was he seriously asking about the weather?

She just politely nodded.

Abhi:
"You work at infotech right?"

Swati nodded.

Abhi:
" I am a Sales Consultant at.."

Swati interrupted him.

Swati:
"Neenga bio data paathirupinga la so ennakum theriyum...adhula irrunchu unga job pathi.."

Abhi nodded and then quickly thought something.

Abhi:
"OK 3 things about you! "

Swati:
"Ennadhu?"

Abhi:
" unnoda bio data la illadha 3 things nee sollu..anything..nee patha sapadu vandhoney saptutu odura mode liye..irruka...adhaan I had to start the conversation somewhere right?"

Swati gave a thirrutu muzhi..smiled sheepishly.

Swati MV:
Che enna correcta kandu pudichitaru..ana paatha sweet ah irrukaru...n he is trying so hard to have a conversation ...seri namalum pesuvom..

Swati:
"3 things ah? Enna sollanum?"

Abhi smiled at her clueless and confused expression.

Abhi:
"Anything..it could be literally anything!"

Swati started to think what to share with her index finger tapping on her chin while Abhi was admiring her cuteness with a smile.

Swati:
"Enna solla...haan! No. 1 vandhu naan vandhu rombo peria Foodie! Ennaku sorru thaan mukiyum ! No. 2 vandhu enna thaan naan peria Foodie ah irrundhalum..ennakum cooking kum set ah agadhu!

Sonnalum naan keka maaten nu vechikomga but still! I want to start following my dream before mrg..."

Abhi smiled and nodded his head.

It was at that time Waiter Anna came and kept their food.

Swati:
"Ivolo information podhuma ...?"

Abhi chuckled

Abhi:
"OK...1st being a Foodie is actually very attractive..yen nanum Foodie thaan! And you know what? Ennoda first crush in school was also a Foodie!"

Swati laughed at the tone in which he said.

Swati:
"Yaaru firstu crushu?"

Abhi:
"Maths Teacher.."

Swati:
"Firstu crushu Maths teacher mela ya?!🤣"

Abhi gave a shocked reaction

Abhi:
"Illa nga..Maths teacher oda ponnu mela! Ana naan ava kitta poi pesunadhu kuda illa..avalo bayam!"

Swati started laughing.

Swati:
"Ahaan approm?"

Abhi:
"Approm enna andha varusham Maths la naan fail aiten!"

Swati:
"Maths teacher ponnu mela crush vandha nala Maths fail ah?🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Aiyo Amma..!"🤣🤣

Abhi joined her in laughing.

Abhi:
"Neenga indha madhri vai vittu sirrika modhu azhaga irrukinga.."

Swati slowly stopped laughing due to self consciousness.

Abhi:
"Anyway...2nd is I love cooking..cooking is an art..adhu namma pudichi ..love oda cook pana thaan adha sapudravangalu ku ulla erangangum...and taste ah vum irrukum...for example neenga unnoda fav and bestu cook yaaru kitta kettalum avanga avangaloda Amma va thaan solluvanga...that is because all mothers make the food with so much of love...suppose this goes forward...and suppose we do end up together..then you just bring your spiciness and love for food to the table..and I will take care of the cooking..aprom 3rd..Marriage is not a jail...why should you even ask the approval of your husband to follow your passion? You should never change for another person...if you want to change any aspect of yourself, it should be because of You not someone else.."

Swati was observing and keeping quite just lightly nodding her head.

Abhi chuckled looking down.

Abhi:
"Inniku mouna verudhama?"

Swati snorted this time and shook her head.

Swati:
"Appudi la illa...just..neenga rombo overah try panura madhri irruku..ana yen thaan purila.."

Abhi who was drinking water at that time chocked at her reply and coughed.

Abhi:
"Sorry! over ah try panurena ? Purila.."

Swati:
"Neenga over ah enna impress pana try panuringa nu ennaku feel agudhu...I mean we just met right? Inniku thaan meet panom...adhuku yen ivolo try panuringa nu purila nu sonnen.."

Abhi signed and slowly nodded his head.

Abhi:
"Hmm fair enough...actually unga kitta orru unmai sollanum...this is not the first time I am seeing you.."

Swati was taken aback.

Swati:
"Not the first time? Appo enna enga paathinga idhuku mundi..?"

Abhi gave a cute shy smile.

Abhi:
"New year's eve party? Night club?You sang there! You have a angelic soulfull voice..!"

Swati blushed

Swati:
"Ohhhh..."

*FLASHBACK TO NEW YEAR'S EVE PARTY*

Swati had come to the New Year's Party at a night club with her friend Tanya and her boyfriend Sid to perform at a night club.

Tanya and Sid had reached before her while Swati's cab had just dropped her at the night club.

Apparently Sid's friend was also joining them but he was running late.

Swati went inside the club. She was not new to club scenes. Though her friend was a drinker Swati was not. But she still came to club because she likes dancing.
Today though, she was going to sing infront of an audience. Her first live performance.

Finally she found Tanya and Sid and they were already tipsy.

Swati:
"Hey T! Vonna enga la theduradhu! Seri en performance eppo sollu di!"

Tanya:
"Relax Swats! Ok anga stage theridha? Anga poi andha yellow shirt kita poi vonnoda pera sollu! He will quickly set up everything!"

Swati took a deep breath to steady her nerves.

Sensing her friend's nervousness, Tanya left Sid's side and came and hugged Swati.

Tanya:
"Idha paaru Swati! You have an amazing voice! Nee porra padura indha full..full club will be on fire! Nee vena paaru! Paaditu vaa! Naan vonnaku Mango juice order pani vekkuren ! Tho indha spot la naan en handbag already vechiten paaru...suppose nee vara po naano illa Sid oh illana ! Orru grey satta pottu Aalu irrupan! Avan Sid oda friend uh! Avanum vonnatam teetotaller thaan! Avan vonnaku Mango juice order panuvan seria!"

Swati cheered up and brightened up at the thought of her favourite Mango juice.

Swati:
"Ahaan! Ok super! Done! Porrom Cup ah thookurom!"

Seeing her confidence, both Tanya and Sid cheered for her.

Swati went up to the stage and said her name to that yellow shirt person. And quickly they discussed and set up the equipments.

Swati smiled and waved and then she started singing Saregame from 'Boys'

Just as she started singing, a guy in grey shirt entered the place.

Sid noticed him and called him over by waving his hand in the air.

Sid:
"Abhi! Inga da!"

Abhi noticed his friend and his girlfriend and he quickly walked over to their spot.

Abhi:
"Hi Machan!"

Sid:
"Hi da! Anga paaru Tanya oda friend sing panura! Ava semmaya paaduva da!"

Abhi looked at the girl performing and he was a goner.

He absolutely fell in love with her voice. The confidence and the passion with which she sang.

Abhi:
"Dei Machan Ava peru enna da?!"

Sid:
"Swati da! Ava passion singing ana veetula ava parents adha purinjikula..seri..vonnaku enna da? Von mizhi seri illaye..Ava nammaku thangachi madhri!"

Abhi nearly had a heart attack!

Abhi:
"Edheyyy ? Thangachi ah??? Vonnaku thangachi nu solli da pakki! Ennaku la thangachi illa! Summa ennayum kuda sethuka da! Po da loosu!"

Sid looked shocked at his friend.

Sid:
"Enna da nee?..ponnunga kitta vandhale Olympics runner madhri ooduva...normal ah thangachi nu sonnadhu ku ivolo reaction ah? Hmmm en kitta thaane varuva...irruku vonnaku.."

Poor Sid didn't realise that whatever he said was not heard by Abhi.
He was busy staring mesmerised at Swati. He was lost in her voice and her.

When her performance was about to end, Sid shook Abhi till he had his attention and said in his ear.

Sid:
"Dei! Tanya um nanum konjo andha side poitu varom! Nee orru Mango juice order pani veida! Tanya handbag pakathuliye okkaru seria?"

Abhi:
"Mango juice ah? Edhuku?"

Sid:
"Swati ku da! Ava perform panitu vandhy kudika! Avalum vonnatam teetotaller thaan! Nee ingaye irru!"

Abhi:
"Ahaan ok da!"

Abhi was once again concentrating on Swati before realising he had to place an order.

He had just ordered a Mango juice when Swati came back to their spot.

Swati looked at his shirt and then at him.

Before he could introduce himself, she asked.

Swati:
"Neenga Sid Anna friend thaane?"

Abhi nodded with a smile.

Swati:
"En Mango juice enga ?"

Abhi:
"Order paniruken nga tho vandhudum.."

It was at that time moment the bar tender kept a glass full of yellow liquid.

Swati got excited and quickly snatched not noticing the panic of the bartender.

She was very thirsty after performance so she gulped it one go!

Looking at the Bartender reaction, Abhi asked him.

Abhi:
"Bro ava kudichadhu non alcoholic Mango puree juice thane?"

Bartender:
"Aiyoo illa Bro! Avanga kudichadhu cocktail! Pure 90% alcoholic content irruka Vodka cocktail with a light essence of Mango..neenga order pana Mango juice ready aitu irruku..."

Abhi:
"Shitt! Aiyoo avanga kudika ve maatanga bro!"

Abhi slowly made her sit on stool and sat beside her. Tying to gauge her reaction. Being Sid's friend he had experience in dealing with Drunk people. But then again he only had experience with Drunk men and each Drunk person was unique.

He worriedly looked at her.

Swati was normal for only few minutes then she started babbling like a baby.

Swati:
"Ayee..grey satta! Ennaku vonnoda satta ..romb...*hiccup*...rombo pudi...pudichiruku...ennaku von satta venum! "

Saying this, she clutched his shirt and tugged it

Abhi:
"Aiyayo...Ma sattaya vidu ma! Vonnaku venum na naan idhey madhri vangi kuduka solluren Tanya va.."

Swati:
"No No No No....no ..no..ennaku idhey satta thaan venum! Evolo soft ah comfy ah feel agudhu idha night la pottu thoonguna evolo comfy ah irrukum theriyuma...ennaku satta kudu!"

Abhi:
"Night la pottu thoongunuma?...adi pavi..en birthday ku vanguna 2500 sattaya night suite ah akitiye! Ma vidu ma...please ma ...nee thani kudi ma!"

He forwarded her a mineral water bottle.

Swati giggled and asked Abhi to come closer. He came a bit closer but still maintained distance.

Swati:
"Yov!.kitta..kitta vaa ya...vonn ..von kitta orru..secret solanum!"

Abhi:
"Yov va...?"

Swati:
"Inga kitta va..von kadhu kattu! Thena maram madhri irruka!"

Abhi mouthed in shock:
"Thena marama.. "

Abhi then surrended at her glare and he bent his head down but made sure he wasn't invading her personal space.

Swati whispered:
"Nee en ...enna thanni kudika sonne la.."

Abhi nodded

Swati still whispering:
"Ennala adha kudika mudiyadhu.."

Abhi:
"Yen..thanni kudika mudiyadhu?"

Swati giggled:
"Yen na ...I don't drink alcohol!"

Abhi facepalmed though he was also resisting a strong urge to pinch her red nose.
She was too cute and adorable.

It was at that moment Sid and Tanya came back.

Seeing her friend Swati excitedly hopped down from the stool and jumped and hugged her..

Swati:
"TAAAANNYYAAAAAAAA! I LOVEE YOUUU ...YOU ARE MY BESTTTTT FRIEND!!""

Then started giggled uncontrollably.

Abhi shook his head and explained to them what happened.

Then all three of them waited and put up with her babbling and cute funny demands.

Swati:
"Deii Sid Anna! Enna thaan nee en Annana irrundhalum...en permission illama nee en Tanya va kattika mudiyadhu..! Unga veetula vena ok sollitu pogatum! Ana en permission illana no marriage! La Tanya?"

Tanya laughed and nodded.

Sid:
"Seringa Madam...sollunga..ungaloda permission ku naan enna pananum?"

Swati:
"Ennaku promise panu! That.. you will always love her...*hiccup* ...respect her...and Cherish her...forever!"

Sid smiled and looked at Tanya, then placed his hand on Swati's outstretched hand.

Sid:
" Promise...idhu enna thangachi ku kudukura promise..I will never break it!"

Swati:
"Good boy! Ippo poi kalyanam panikonga! Gooooo!!!"

Abhi was quitely observing her. He knew he was in love with her. He thought love at first sight only happens in movies.

But he wanted to spend rest of his life with her.

They then started from the club. The plan was for Sid to return home in his bike and Abhi will drop the girls in his car.

As they all settled in the car, Swati started calling Abhi as cab driver and started threatening him to get them home safely.

He chucked at her

Tanya:
"Sorry Abhi! Iva solluradha perusal edukadha..."

Abhi smiled her asked her to chill and he drove them back home.

*FLASHBACK ENDS*

.
.
.

As Abhi explained what happened that day without saying his feelings for her.

She hid her face in her hands in embarrassment.

Swati:
"Aiyoooo....I'm soo sorry! Ennaku sathiyama neenga enn nenaivuliye illa!"

Abhi laughed:
"Eppudi irrupen...en peru kuda kekula anniku neenga! Firstu Sid friend then grey satta, Thenna maram approm ahann..cab driver!"

Swati:
"Shooo sorry Sorry!"

Abhi:
"Anneku I fell in love with you Swati!
Appo decide paninen....I have to meet you again..adhuku thaan indha setting! Unga bio data ku perfect sync agura madhri en bio data va potten.."

Swati:
"Love...? Umm.."

Abhi:
"Calm down...naan verum ennoda feelings ah sonnen!"

Swati leaned back in her chair.

Swati:
"Appo unga Bio data la ellame poi?"

Abhi:
"Ellame illa as in Qualifications, dob, horoscope, adhu ellame real thaan...just anga inga konjom konjom maathina!"

Swati:
"Nee seriana KD Abhi!"

Abhi chuckled and looked down.

Swati:
"Ippo naan mudiyadhu nu sonnen ah? Enna stalk panuviya?"

Abhi:
"No never! If you say No...it means no..naan unna disturb panama poiduven..I would never do that! Infact I hate it! Indha love ah reject panadhuku ponnu moonjula acid..adhu ellam...they are not humans!"

Swati nodded her head in agreement.

Abhi:
"What I am asking is just a chance...give me a chance..get to know me? Pesi pazhagu nadhuku appromu pudikula na I totally understand..."

He looked into her eyes and said in his base voice.

Abhi:
"Just one chance...I dare you!"

Swati smiled and nodded.

Swati:
"OK..."

Abhi:
"OK.. "

.......

They finished their food. Swati went to washroom while Abhi paid the bill.

Swati looked at the mirror and got fresh. She adjusted her hair and thought of Abhi.

She blushed and walked out.

She was not in love with him but she liked him.

She was silently admiring him as they walked from the restaurant to the car.

His little gestures. His charm.

They sat in the car and Abhi looked at her.

Abhi:
"Inga paakathula orru carnival irruku...anga polama...illa should I drop you at home?"

Swati looked at his bright eyes which was filled with hope.

Swati:
"Carnival ah.. polam.."

Abhi smiled bright and started the car.

He looked at her and gestured towards the car stereo with his expressive eyes.

Abhi:
"Paatu venum na pottukonga ..."

Swati:
"Haan OK!"

Swati reached across and switched on the radio.

The first song that played was :

Munbe Va..

The song made both of them blush looking at eachother.

...

Abhi parked the car and they both got out of the car.

They started walking towards the carnival on the side of the road.

Abhi:
"I really liked our meet cute.."

Swati:
"Meet Cute ah? Appudi na?"

Abhi:
"Meet Cute naa... rendu strangers unexpected ah first time meet panamodhu... andha cute ana situations...
Avangaloda conversations...
And a..."

Swati:
"And ?"

As Swati was looking at him, he continued walking but silently pulled her sling bag and switched places on the road so that she won't get hit by a passing car that had gone too closely to them.

He didn't touch her at all. But still was protective. He didn't really think about it.

Swati looked at the car and him.

She walked faster to catch up with him.

Abhi:
"And a memory...that will last a lifetime..."

....

They reached the park and Swati pointed towards an Ice cream stall making Abhi nod with a smile and they stood in line.

Abhi was standing behind Swati in line while Swati had turned around to face him as they were talking random things.

Abhi was pushed forward from behind by a kid which made him lightly dash against Swati.

Abhi looked at her eyes and said sorry while Swati nodded her head signalling it's okay.

The ice cream stall was a Turkish Ice cream stall. The man was doing his usual tricks with Swati making her pout.
Abhi who was standing behind Swati laughed at Swati and he signalled to the shop keeper to just give her the ice-cream.

They went back to Abhi's car and were eating their ice-cream while leaning against the bonnet of the car.

As Swati was eating, her ice-cream was leaking. Abhi handed her a tissue to wrap it around her cone.

Swati:
"Thanks.."

He handed her another one seemingly out of thin air to wipe her mouth. And another one.

Swati looked at him with raised eyebrow and leaned back to see he had a whole tissue box sitting behind his back.

She looked back at him incredulously.

Abhi took one look at her and they both burst out laughing.

Swati:
"Soo what do you expect do as a consultant? You are not from Bangalore right?"

Abhi:
"Well sondha ooru is Coimbatore..but I am based out of Chennai...Sid vandhu ennoda college best friend..and as for what I do..basically come up with Sales Strategies...client kitta enna sonna ...eppudi sonna avanga product ah vanguvanga...avangala eppudi impress pananum ...things like that? Consultant work can be done from anywhere..just important stakeholders oda meetings ku in person irrundha podhum ..so I shifted to Bangalore.."

Swati:
"So is that what you are doing here too?"

Abhi:
"Hmm?"

Swati:
" You are trying to strategically manipulate and impress me into liking you? Indha flowers, indha door open panuradhu ellam...just impress pana thaane! You won't be doing it for the rest of out lives if we do end up together...right?"

Saying this Swati swiftly walked towards the passenger seat to open the door.

Abhi caught the door from the other side.

Abhi:
" You are right..flowers and door open panuradhu ellam vonna impress pana thaan! But that's not manipulation...its just nammaku pudicha ponna impress pananum Ella pasangalum nenaipanga...adhu than..and I don't manipulate or outright lie even in my line of work..I just stretch the truth a bit...white lie if you will...but that's different...I will always be true when it comes to you..and besides you don't need me to open the door for you.."

Swati:
"Ofcourse I can open the door for myself..."

Abhi looked intensely into her eyes which were filled with slight doubts.

Abhi:
"I will promise you three things that I will also do for the rest of our lives.."

Swati's eyes widened.

Abhi:
"I will always love you...I will always respect you and...I will always Cherish you...with all my heart.."

And just like that, all the fears, doubts..hesitation that Swati had about this flew away.

Abhi's car keys fell from his hand and just as he bent to pick it up, Swati beat him to it.

She gave him the car keys back and on that pretext, clasped his big hand with her tiny one's.

Abhi looked at their hand and then at her as she shook their hands.

Swati:
"So...indha dealing ennaku pudichiruku.."

Abhi's eyes widened when he understood what exactly she was trying to say and he blushed and laughed.
Which in turn made Swati also laugh.

Sometimes, all it takes is a leap of faith and Magic automatically happens.💫
