Ashaangi TS Prejudiced Love

Part II | B |

Sivaangi groaned in annoyance as her mobile kept ringing. As Ashwin went out to play cricket with his friends at the cricket turf that night, she decided to hit the bed early and slept around eleven fifty.

But constant calls disturbed her sleep. It was from Sakthi and she has already cut his call twice but he kept calling making her huff as she sat up on the bed, clearly annoyed and sleepy.

"Dei Sakthi, thoongitu iruken da!" Sivaangi whined in sleeping voice. There was a pause and then she heard,

"Thoongunadhu podhum. Endhri di"

Sivaangi scrunched her sleepy voice hearing Sree's voice and checked the caller id. A conference call was going on between her, Sree and Sakthi.

"Mani twelve forty aguthu! Innerathula yethuku conference call?" Sivaangi whined and added, "Yean di Sree, nee lam onbathu maniku lam thoongura aalu, nee yepdi mulichu iruka?"

"Athellam na hostel vandhadhum thoongiten night mulikanum nu" Sree replied and munched on her chips, "Seri, nee matter ku va"

"Yenna matter uh?" Sivaangi sat up on her bed, clearly annoyed.

"Unn love story dhan thalaivi" Sakthi chipped in.

"Aiyooo! Idha keka ongaluku neram kalam ilaya?" Sivaangi whined.

"Hey, dhenamum thoonga unaku rendu mani aagum. Inaiku oru naal vegama thoongitu unaku indha pechu lam thevai ah. Olunga mulichu kadhaiya sollu di" Sree pressed.

Sivaangi sighed in defeat.

"Shoo! Irunga. Fresh agitu five minutes la call panren" Sivaangi grumbled and ended the call without waiting for them to reply.

Sivaangi replied to Ashwin's text who texted her right back. She explained her situation in text and asked him to sleep. He sent laughing emoji, wished her luck and went offline like a good boyfriend.

Exact five minutes later Sivaangi's mobile rang making her sigh. She picked the call.

"Yenna ready ah thalaivi?" Sakthi asked enthusiastically.

"Pei walking pora nerathula unaku indha urchagam thevai dhana da?" Sivaangi sighed.

"Namma group la yeh nee oruthi dhan committed. Engaluku aarvama irukadha" Sree chipped in.

"Seri, na soluren aana ena kalaika kudathu. Ok ah?" Sivaangi said and they instantly replied an okay. And so, Sivaangi started to tell how it all happened.

(In Cavel college of Arts & Science, both Aided and SF have to work together for department functions and academic related events, representing as one. Like most colleges, Aided and Self Finance students doesn't get along. In the commerce department, there's a visible rift between students which the staffs overlook and try to get things done together.

Sivaangi was third year representative and their commerce department's main event Comas's one of secretaries from SF while Ashwin is the final year representative of PG Aided and also one of secretaries for Comas. He's also the student leader for whole department.

They being representative of their year, they have to work together for department programs to cultural programs to academic events. Because of the ongoing rifts between Aided and SF, they always struggle to work together but manages to pull off any event in better way.)

That day Sivaangi and Ashwin had to meet to discuss about the final list participants for the cultural program at LAC college. They decided to meet at the amphitheatre in their college.

Ashwin and his friend Rakshan were waiting for Sivaangi and her team to arrive. She came with her SF first-year representative, fifteen minutes after the said time.

"Traffic" Sivaangi said as soon as she stood before Ashwin. He just nodded in acknowledgement.

"Idhula Aided la irundhu vara pasanga lum add pani cultural selection list iruku" Ashwin said extending the paper for Sivaangi to read.

Sivaangi took the paper from Ashwin and frowned as she read the list.

"Yedhuku aided la irundhu ithana per? Ipdi irundha aprm SF la yep-"

"Mention paniruka competitions la last time win pana pasanga la retain paniruken. SF ku equal ah kuduka mudiyala indha time. Adutha cultural la pathukalam" Ashwin said scratching his eyebrow.

"SF ku yean equal ah kuduka mudiyathu?" Sivaangi frowned.

"Sonen la, last time winners ah change pana mudiyathu. Nee nethu send pana list la indha winners ku potrundha SF student's ah matum dhan venam nu potruken"

"Apo motha competitions la SF students compete pana potrukalam la?" Sivaangi scoffed, "You can make this equal thing happen. You just don't want to!"

"Indha team ooda overall cup adika chances athigam. Adhukaga dhan poten" Ashwin said calmly trying not to show his irritation, "See, enaku onum SF ah kammi ah podanum nu onum intention lam kedayathu"

"Ama, ama. Nalla theriyudhu. Karanama solla vendiyathu, aprm HOD munna aided dha best nu nadichu kotta vendiyathu" Sivaangi mumbled loud enough for Ashwin to hear.

"Hey! Represent panra namma department team ku yedhu correct ah irukum nu solitu iruken. Nee yenna pesura!" Ashwin snapped at Sivaangi.

"Ama, ongalukum onga aided department ku matum dhan yedhu correct ah irukum nu theriyum. Naanga SF lam mattama poetom ah?" The first-year representative of SF, Kishore said.

"Dei, ava ta dhana pesitu irukan. Nee thevai ilama pesadha" Rakshan, Ashwin's friend warned him by showing his index finger.

"Yenna neenga, enga SF kaga na pesuna meraturinga?" Kishore snapped.

"Kishore nee amaidhiya iru" Sivaangi asked him to calm down.

"Ila, akka. Parunga, avanga yepdi pesuranga nu!"

"Shoo!" Ashwin heaved a sigh and looked at Kishore, "Sandai ilukanum ne varuviya da?"

"Naanum Rep dhana. Naanum pesalam enga SF kaga. Neenga panradhu lam thappu. Suma suma yethachum panradhu, department la irundhu kaasu adika vendiyathu!"

"Dei, yenna da sonna?" Rakshan snarled at Kishore and Ashwin held him back from pouncing on Kishore.

"Rakshan nee modha kelambunga" Ashwin said holding Rakshan, "Avan yedho solitu poran"

"Ila machan, paru avan yepdi pesuran nu!"

"Unmai ah sonna yepdi dhan kovam varum" Kishore didn't back off.

"Dei!" Rakshan fidgeted in Ashwin's hold.

"Raksha! Modha nee inga irundhu po. Sonna kelu" Ashwin said and looked at Sivaangi who's asking Kishore to stop.

"Ila, machan na-"

"Po da" Ashwin managed to send Rakshan away.

Ashwin looked at Sivaangi who's calming down Kishore.

"Dei, kelambu" Ashwin said in a stern tone.

"Meeting dhana, naan yedhuku ponum?" Kishore snapped.

"Eii Sivaangi, po sollu" Ashwin said gesturing Sivaangi through his eyes to send Kishore away.

"Kishore nee po" Sivaangi said not wanting to create more problem.

"Akka, na-"

"Po, na department la vandhu unna pakuren. Po" Sivaangi said and Kishore walked away glaring at Ashwin.

Sivaangi's face was twisted in anger which she tried to control. Ashwin looked at her and sighed.

"Idha paru-"

"Yenna nenachutu irukinga neenga? Summa epo discussion ku vandhalum yethachu prachana! Onga friend Rakshan yedhuku inga irundhanga? Rep discussion dhana, UG final year Rep dhana kuptu vandhrukanum. Yepo pathalum thevai iladha prachana kondu vara vediyathu!" Sivaangi snapped.

"Idho paru, prachana panadhu nee kuptu vandhavan dhan. Unta dhan explain panitu iruken la. Avan yethuku thulluran? Na solradha modha keka vendiyathu dhana!"

"Neenga solradhu lam yethukura mathiri lam ila! Yepovumey SF ah korachu katanum nu dhan Aided la yelarum kuriya irukinga!"

"Kovathula dhan unaku onum puriya matendhu. Don't be so prejudiced! This anger isn't letting you see sense in this team selection list"

"Na rational ah yosikala nu solringa la!"

"Pinna!"

"Nalla samalinga. Andha Kishore sonadhu unmai dhan. Nalla Comas apo kaasu adich-"

"Hey! Varthai ah paathu pesu! Nee pathiya naanga apdi panom nu!" Ashwin snapped.

Their arguments continued for ten more minutes irritating them both.

"Winning chance iruka team nu solren, equal numbers pathi pesura! Win panna Aided, SF rendukum dhana varum. Unaku yean di idhu puriya matendhu" Ashwin said frustratedly as Sivaangi's not seeing his point.

"Ena di podura velai lam vachukadhinga!" Sivaangi snapped at Ashwin.

Ashwin was about to apologize but Sivaangi kept talking, "Neenga ena yepdi apdi kupdalam! Na HOD ta complain paniruven!"

"Nee yenna periya olunga? Enaku theriyadhu nenakuriya? Pinadi yenna pacha pacha ya thittitu dhana iruka. Avan ivan, valandhu kettavan, thadi maadu, inum ketta vartha vera, enaku theriyadhu nu nenachiya? Theriyama oru di potadhuku HOD ta complain paniruvalam la, na sollata nee yenna yepdi lam pesura nu!"

"Ongata pesi enaku dhan time waste uh. Na mark paniruka rendu per ah onga list la change pananum" Sivaangi said glaring at him and thrusted the list paper in Ashwin's hand and walked away without looking back.

Sivaangi went to her friends straight away and spill her anger on Ashwin through words.

"Avan lam paaru kaludha meika dhan layaku! Seriyana lusu manda!" Sivaangi huffed.

"Seri, vidu thalaivi" Sakthi tried to calm Sivaangi.

"Avan ah kattika porava lam paavam. Pona jenmathula paavam senjavala dhan irupa! Sariyana paithiyam avan! Insensitive idiot! Kirukan! Paithiyakaaran!"

Sree and Sakthi had to cool down Sivaangi and take her out to change her mind.

A week later, Sivaangi and SF students who are participating in the cultural gathered in front of their department and waited for the Aided students. Since Ashwin wasn't just PG final year rep but also the whole department's student leader, it was mandatory for him to tag along with teams that go out for cultural. He and Aided team joined them and soon, everyone boarded the college van to head to LAC college.

Once they reached LAC College, Sivaangi and Aided UG final year Rep Shiva went to register their college for competition while Ashwin assembled the students and gave instructions to them.

"Inaikachum sandai vendam" Ashwin told Sivaangi when she came to hand him visiting college ID.

"Inaikachum ena irritate panama irunga" Sivaangi moved away with attitude.

"Indha thimiru ku onum korachal ila" Ashwin muttered under his breath with a smile on seeing Sivaangi walking away. She heard it but chose not to react.

After the inauguration and curtain raiser, the competitions started at full swing. Ashwin and Sivaangi were busy with their assigned works. They did see each other few times when participants called them together.

During lunch Ashwin made sure everyone got their lunch before sitting down to have his. When Sivaangi wanted water and there wasn't any, he noticed it, stood up, walked away and came back with a water bottle. He placed it near her.

When Sivaangi looked up at Ashwin, he walked back to where he sat and continued eating, without sparing her a glance. Post that everyone dispersed to get back to their preparation and competition. Sivaangi was in the dressing room that LAC college allotted for Cavel girl students.

"Step lam correct ah nyabagam iruku la" Sivaangi asked to the group dance girls.

"Athellam iruku, Sivaangi akka. Neenga singing ah lite ah practice panikonga. Neengalum participant dhana" Priya, one among the group dance girl said.

"Hey, nee yenna di ipdi solra. Akka lam natural talent, avangaluku oru flow la yeh varum. Apdi dhana ka" Swetha, another girl said.

"Odanae ena kalaika vendiyathu. Seri, na poe water bottle vangitu varen ongaluku" Sivaangi said and moved out.

Sivaangi moved from the ground side to walk to the canteen. She had to walk through a corridor of empty classrooms to get to canteen backside. She heard a whistle sound but didn't paid attention to that as she scrolled her Instagram.

With wide eyes, Sivaangi paused on her track when she felt someone smacking her butt. She turned back to see two boys standing before her.

"Dei na sonnen la, nacchu nu iruka paru" One of the guys said.

"Dei! Evlo dhairiyam unaku!" Sivaangi snarled raising her hand to slap him.

"Idho paru da! Yenna di pongura!" The other guy held Sivaangi's hand before she could slap him.

"Kai ah vidu!" Sivaangi fidget trying to release her hand from him.

"Suma sola kudathu, kovathula kuda super ah dhan iruka. Classroom kula thalliralama da?" The first guy smirked trying to touch Sivaangi's face but she screamed taking them aback. She stomped her feet on the guy holding her hand.

In an instant, Sivaangi pulled her hand away and ran from there, with tears pooling her eyes out of anger. She slowed down few steps, her anger still intact.

"Avanungala lam sumavey vida kudathu!" Sivaangi pulled back her tears and went back to take their pics to complain or at least give them back with a slap. She was taken aback before and couldn't react better.

As Sivaangi walked back, she paused when she heard the boys screaming. She took hurried steps and stood before a safe distance and saw Ashwin beating the boys.

"Yevlo dhairiyam irundha enoda Sivaangi mela kai vaipa!" Ashwin held one guy in his left hand while he punched the other guy.

"Anna vidunga na! Avangala theriyama ipd-" The first guy cried as Ashwin twisted his arm.

"Indha edathula yendha ponna irundhalum ongala summa vitruka maten. Modha ponnungala mathika kathuko!" Ashwin twisted that guy's hand more making the guy cry out, "Nee enoda Sivaangi mela kai vaikura! Naayee! Avala yepdi lam pesuna!"

That guy's scream didn't enter into Sivaangi's mind, her ears busy playing Ashwin saying 'enoda Sivaangi'. She felt goosebumps and her stomach twisting in knots for no reason.

"Ponnunga ta mariyadha ya pesa soli kudukala ongaluku lam?" Ashwin slapped the other guy, "Yaru nu theriyadha ponna Di pottu pesura, huh?"

The two guys slumped on the ground whining in pain near Ashwin's legs.

"Dei, ponnunga la mariyadha ah paaka, treat panna kathukonga. Kandipa ongala report panitu dhan poga poren. Ini olukama iruka kathukonga!" Ashwin said taking both their ID cards with him before walking away.

Sivaangi couldn't wrap her head around what she saw. In a lost state, she walked towards the canteen. There she saw Ashwin walking away in a distance, anger clearly visible on his face.

"Akka, adhuthu Talentia ku ready aganum" Vivek, her junior spotted her bringing Sivaangi out of her trance.

"Yenna?" Sivaangi asked clueless.

"Adutha competition ku girls ready aganum ka" Vivek said.

"Enoda competition yepo da?" Sivaangi asked composing herself.

"Ongaluku last competition dhan ka. Yenna achu ka, yean oru mathiri irukinga?" Vivek asked, concerned.

"Lite ah thalai vali da"

"Acho. Seri, neenga koncha neram rest edunga. Na Shiva anna ta soliruken yethunalum"

Sivaangi weakly nodded, bought two water bottles and took the long way to reach girls dressing room instead of that way. Her mind's replaying Ashwin's words again and again, trying to understand what he meant by 'enoda Sivaangi'

After giving the water bottles to the girls and asking them to get ready, Sivaangi went to washroom and washed her face, trying to pull back her tears. No one has ever behaved inappropriately with her. Her eyes stinged thinking about how the boys behaved with her.

Sivaangi washed her tears with water and closed her eyes, taking a deep breath. Ashwin's face came in front of her, him saying 'enoda Sivaangi' playing in her mind.

'Avaru yean apdi solanum?' Sivaangi thought to herself.

Shrugging her thoughts, Sivaangi wiped her face and went to the dressing room. She was surprised to find Ashwin there. The girls have already left for their performance.

"Inga yenna panringa?" Sivaangi asked without meeting Ashwin's eyes. She wasn't expecting to see him.

"Thalai vali nu sonanga. Tab potiya?" Ashwin asked in a calm, indifferent face yet his voice carried his care.

"Ila, podanum" Sivaangi said walking inside, "Inga yenna panringa?"

"So far competitions pathi updates kekalam nu vandhen" Ashwin said and then took out a tablet slip, "Indha, this will help"

Sivaangi eyed at Ashwin as she stood in front of the chair where he's sitting. She could never understand him. They argue all the time but he never crosses the line and doesn't do anything to hurt her. She noticed the way he paused eating to get water for her and her mind recalled so many small incidents where he showed care for her with an indifferent attitude making her confused.

"Thanks" Sivaangi took the tablet slip and sat down on one of the chairs. She was indeed coming up with an head ache, "Kai la yenna band-aid?"

Ashwin saw his right-hand index and middle finger that had band-aid. It was result of punching those brats.

"Adi patruchu" Ashwin simply said, looking at his hand.

"Yepdi?" Sivaangi pressed knowing how Ashwin got injured. He didn't reply and sat looking at his mobile making her sigh. If he made up his mind not to answer then he won't. So, she gave up.

After taking the tablet, Sivaangi gave the tablet slip back to Ashwin but he refused to take back, asking her to keep it. She placed the tablet slip inside her bag and took her mobile out.

'Ivaru yean inum pogama okandhrukaru?' Sivaangi wondered as she eyed at Ashwin who was busy with his mobile.

On the bright side, Sivaangi felt her anxiousness leaving her body in Ashwin's presence and actually relaxed but she can't help but think about him. With a sigh, she tried to divert her mind from his thoughts. She memorized the song lyrics she's about to perform that day.

Ashwin left only after the girls came back. Sivaangi wondered if he stayed behind just to make her feel okay. Shaking those thoughts, she enquired the girls about their performance. Once she felt she's okay, she left to check on other events and participants.

Sivaangi didn't see Ashwin after that. Her competition was last and while picking lot for turns to sing, it was decided that she was the last one to perform. She went to the changing room and changed into a white dress which she kept to wear during her performance.

The stage light is off as Sivaangi climbed the stage to perform. She took a deep breath as she looked ahead and her eyes fell on Ashwin who's sitting with Rakshan and other participants from their college. They were seated at the seventh row from front. She took a deep breath when she saw his face adorned with an excited smile.

On the count of three, Sivaangi started her performance.

Parandhu sella vaa
Parandhu sella vaa

The crowd hooted hearing Sivaangi singing. She was surprised and had an amused smile when she saw Ashwin screaming for her performance. She never noticed this before. Shaking her head, she sang,

Just Like That

Mmm..humm..mmm..humm

Spotlight fell on Sivaangi and then the stage starts to light up. She had a wide smile and she enjoyed herself as she sang,

Parandhu sella vaa
Parandhu sella vaa

Putham puthu veli

Putham puthu veli

Ah ah ah ah

The crowd sang along with Sivaangi. Her eyes saw Ashwin who had a big smile in his face as he watched her perform.

Yaasikkathae po
Just like that

Yaasikkathae po

Just like that...

A pause in music before the next music plays. Sivaangi adjusted the mic in her hand as she stepped forward. She swore she saw Rakshan, pointing at her and said something to Ashwin who ducked his head before he looked up and grinned widely. There were only dimmed lights in the first fifteen rows as stage had to have a dark setting for the performance. Composing herself she sang,

The crowd cheered.

The crowd cheered as the music drops to another music of the song that made the students hoot loudly. Sivaangi ducked her head slightly saw Ashwin looking and listening to her with admiration. She cleared her voice and looked up before singing,

Sivaangi bowed as the entire auditorium cheered and hooted. As she stepped down, unconsciously her eyes searched for Ashwin who ducked his face with a huge smile as Rakshan, with his arm around Ashwin's neck was saying something to him. She didn't know what they spoke but she can't help but smile as she walked down.

Ashwin said he has selected a team for the cultural that has winning potential and true to that Cavel Institute of Arts & Science bagged the overall trophy. Cavel students cheered loudly. Staffs didn't accompany them as Student leader Ashwin came. So, Ashwin, Shiva and Sivaangi received the overall trophy on behalf of everyone.

When they all came out, Caval students placed the trophy down and danced around it enjoying their victory. Sivaangi stood aside and clapped hands with wide smile on seeing them cheering and hooting. Her eyes unconsciously moved to Ashwin who's enjoying with the boys.

Sivaangi didn't know what to make of the things that happened today. But she felt good when Ashwin beat those brats claiming her as his. The feelings which she kept buried deep inside her took a peek out making her shiver.

Back when Sivaangi was at her first year, during the interdepartmental cricket match that held on the day before Freshers Day, she remembered feeling her heart beating crazily for someone – Third year Aided senior who captained his team, Ashwin Kumar.

Sivaangi was sitting with her friends and watching the match. She's a huge cricket fan. It was an instant crush for her when her eyes fell on Ashwin who was dressed in white jersey and black tracks with a cap that said 'OBEY'. She was in awe watching him bat.

Ashwin affected Sivaangi to an extent that she could hear her own heartbeat. His team was seated few metres from where she sat. So, she had her own sweet time to sight him laughing, being playful with his teammates, to see him stretch and wash his face.

Scared of the instant attraction that overwhelmed her senses, Sivaangi left home before the match got over. That day she ended up day dreaming about him and stalk his social media.

But everything ended on the Freshers Day. Sivaangi sang for her part and enjoyed the program but towards the end it ended with Aided and SF students fighting. Sivaangi's school senior brother Mugen was the third year SF Rep.

Sivaangi saw Mugen getting into a fight. To her shock, it was with Ashwin. Things got out of control and so, staffs sent everyone out save for those who got into fight. That night when she asked Mugen about what happened, he explained about how Aided and SF students' equation works and projected Ashwin in a way she grew repulsive of him.

Without knowing Ashwin's side, Sivaangi prejudiced her whole view on him that he's the one who caused trouble, that he's the bad one here. She buried those butterfly feelings inside her. After she became Rep for first years, she tagged along with Mugen and always ended up arguing with Ashwin.

Mugen left to Mumbai for PG but Ashwin continued here. So, Ashwin and Sivaangi would end up arguing at every discussion. She ignored anything she felt for him and overlooked whatever little he does for her. It continued until today when she heard him say 'enoda Sivaangi'. It made her feel something and it didn't settle well with her.

Sivaangi looked at Ashwin but soon averted her gaze when he looked at her. She tried to focus on the Cavel students celebrating but she couldn't get over him saying 'enoda Sivaangi'.

Quickened heartbeats, stomach knots with a jittery feeling in his presence or whenever her gaze meets with his, a state of self-awareness where she knows she feels something and above all, confused about her feelings, Sivaangi sighed knowing sleepless night is waiting for her.

(Past will continue)
