"Vendam vendam vendam! Idhoda indha topic ah stop pannunga, illati naa aduthu vera yedhavudhu country ku odi poiruven!"
(No no no! Drop this topic at once or I'm gonna run off to some other country.)
Sivaangi was done. Born with a silver spoon in mouth, Sivaangi has always gotten her way for anything and everything ever since she was young.
From picking her toys to the choice of collage and career, she was given utmost freedom to do what her heart wants. No pressure, no expectations. Her family allowed her to fly around anywhere she wishes like a butterfly.
Which is precisely why she couldn't understand their unusual behaviour regarding this particular issue. Her parents were being adamant on making her meet some guy as a prospective partner.
She has made it clear that she wasn't interested in marriage, at least not for now.
Her mom's response to that was quite simple. "Ippo yenna nalakey unna kalyanam panna solroma? Just meet pannu, get to know him. Unakku pudicha aprom yennanu yosikalam. Pudikalana vitralam."
(Why are you reacting like we're asking you to get married tomorrow itself? Just meet him, get to know him. If you like him we can proceed, if not we can drop this topic.)
She put her mug down with a loud thud, causing both her parents to scrunch their nose in discomfort. "Yenaku pudikala."
(I don't like him.)
"Pakamale pudikalana yepdi? Orey oru thadava meet pannudi." Binni tried coaxing her daughter.
(How can you say that before even meeting him? Just meet him once.)
Sivaangi pushed her mother's hand away. "Mudiyathu ma, naa serious ah solren. Naa yevanayum meet panna maaten."
(I can't, I'm serious about this. I am not meeting anyone.)
With that she stormed off. Binni sighed and looked at her husband. "Iva sari varuvanu yenaku thonala, neenga avangaluku hope kudukama immediate ah call panni sollidunga avaluku interest illanu."
(I don't think this will work out, don't give them false hope. Call them up immediately and tell them she isn't interested.)
Krishnakumar shook his head. "Pesi pathu sari varalana, namma vera method la vara vaikanum. Naa pathukuren."
(If it isn't working out after verbal attempt then we need to find other ways to make it work. I'll handle this.)
...
"Aaga motham already kovama irundhavala innum gaandu aakivituruka?" Rakshan asked a rhetorical question as the friendly duo drove under the dark sky.
(Basically you've messed up and angered the woman who's already furious with you?)
Ashwin nodded meekly. "Venumnu pannala machan."
(Didn't do it on purpose.)
"Correct, venumna pannirka maata. Ava unaku venam."
(Doesn't seem that way to me.)
Ashwin turned to glare.
"Moraikadhada, unna pathaley therichu odura avaley friends ah irukalamnu ketruka, this was your only chance! Oru handshake ah kuduthu okay sollirundha inneram ipdi polamba thevaye illa."
(Stop glaring, she used to run far away from you when she sees you but she herself proposed this friendship idea. You wouldn't be in this pitiful state right now if you had just accepted the handshake.)
Ashwin shook his head stubbornly, groaning out loud. "Unaku puriyala."
(You don't get it.)
"Dei unaku thaan puriyala. Friends can become lovers but already lovers ah irundhavanga friends ah aaga mudiyathu unless they still love each other. Yen adha suggest panna? She misses you. Kan munnadi unna pathutu avalala velagi iruka mudiyathu. So if she labels you as a friend unkita free ah pesalam. Avaluku irukura ariva vechi yen thangam yedho try panna, nee yennana mothama kadaya sathitu vandhuruka."
(you're the one who's not getting it. Friends can become lovers but ex lovers can't exactly become friends unless they still love each other. Why did she suggest it? She misses you. She won't be able to walk away from you when you're right there. If she labels you as a friend, at least she'll have an excuse to talk to you freely. She has tried something but you've messed up the entire plan now.)
Everything Rakshan just spat made sense and Ashwin won't even debate with that. In fact he is aware of all these and that is exactly why he openly refused to be a friend.
"Already complicated ah irukura relationship ah innum complicate pannanuma? Yennala yennikum avala friend ah accept pannika mudiyathu. And nee solra madhri friend ah irukalamnu sollitu aprom yedhavudhu try panna yenaku pudikala, that's a disrespect to the word, friendship. I'd rather have an unlabelled bond with her than to have a fake friendship."
(Why complicate a relationship that's already complicated? I can never accept her as just a friend. And just like what you said, I can't just accept her as a friend and try something else afterwards, that's a disrespect to the word, friendship. I'd rather have an unlabelled bond with her than to have a fake friendship.)
Rakshan sighed. "Theliva kolapurada. Ipdi pesi pesiya yellarayum mayakidu. Seri un logic lam irukatum, now what's the plan?"
(You clearly confused people man, you sway people with just your words. All of that logic aside, now what's the plan?)
Ashwin shrugged, with a small smile he pointed his finger upwards. "He plans it, not me."
Rakshan couldn't help but smile back at his childlike friend. "Paaklam inniki yenna plan panni vechirkarunu."
(Let's see what He has planned for today.)
...
Sivaangi nervously stared at the tiny screen in the lift, eyes fixed on the arrow moving upwards. She don't think she can ever get inside a lift without having the fear of being trapped since it had happened to her twice already.
Unlike the other night, she was all alone in the lift now and she definitely wouldn't survive being stuck here on her own.
Thankfully no such misfortune took place tonight as she safely reached the level she needed to be at. The doors opened and she was greeted by familiar faces.
"Thangameyyy!" She found herself being squashed into a tight hug from Rakshan as she squealed.
"Neenga yennana inga?" She finally asked after
being released.
(How come you're here?)
"Karthik sir ah meet panna thaan naanum vandhen oru album pathi pesa."
(Came to meet Karthik sir to discuss about an album.)
Sivaangi nodded, trying her best to not turn even the slightest towards the other man who has been eyeing her since she came out of the elevator.
"Aprom Sivaangi, next week varuvalla?" Rakshan suddenly asked causing her to blink in confusion as her mind couldn't detect what he was referring to.
(So Sivaangi, you're coming right next week?)
"Bala oda wedding di!" Rakshan smacked her arm lightly.
(Bala's wedding of course!)
Her eyes widened in realisation before she nodded in enthusiasm. "Of course varuven! Naa already namma gang la neraya peroda wedding miss panniten."
(Of course I'll be there! I've already missed a lot of people's weddings from our gang.)
"Aama da, 2 years la Pavithra, Rithika both got married. Pugazh got engaged. Ippo Bala." Rakshan looked between Ashwin and Sivaangi before sneakily adding, "innum neenga rendu peru thaan irukinga."
(Yeah within 2 years both Pavithra and Rithika got married. Pugazh got engaged. And now it's Bala. Only the both of you are left.)
Both of their heads rose up with panic at the statement. Sivaangi didn't look amused at all. "Neenga yenaku annan. Annan madhri behave pannunga, unwanted velailam pakathinga."
(You are my brother. Please act like one, stop doing unwanted things.)
Rakshan gasped before softly yelling at Ashwin. "Yennada ipdi asinga paduthura?"
(How can she bash me like this?)
Ashwin chuckled. "Yenakaga idhu kuda thaangika maatiya machan."
(You can tolerate this for me right.)
Rakshan rolled his eyes before turning to Sivaangi with a nervous laughter. "Ayyo thangam nee misunderstand pannita, ivan yedhavudhu oru mogarakattaya kalyanam pannanumla, adhey madhri neeyum yevanayavudhu kalyanam pannanumla future la. Innum neenga rendu peru thaan single. Adha thaan anna sonnen."
(Oh no, you've misunderstood. He has to marry some woman, and you have to marry some other man in the future right? Both of are you are the only ones still single. That's what I meant.)
Before Sivaangi could respond to that unconvincing explanation of his, their producer - Karthik has came down to greet the trio at the corridor. "Naanga wait pannitu irukum, neenga moonu perum reunion madhri galatta pannitu irukingalapa."
(We've been waiting, but you guys are having fun here like it's some reunion.)
"We were just about to go in sir." Ashwin said with a sheepish smile and was quick to catch sight of another tall man following behind Karthik. The unfamiliar man just happened to have his gaze fixed on Sivaangi who was oblivious as usual.
"That's okay, I was joking." Karthik pulled the man forward. "This is Surya, our co producer of the album we will be working in. Just today, he offered to join the team."
Sivaangi's ears perked up at the name, apart from that being the name of a famous star in tamilnadu, there was some other memory attached to that name. But her mind couldn't wrap around it. Where else did she hear that name?
Surya was a real looker. Tall, well-kept hair, light skin, almond shaped eyes, hawkish nose, defined cheekbones, he had everything that society expects to qualify one as good looking. He wouldn't be able to walk among a crowd, he would stand out in a good way. He could easily pass as a male model.
He stretched out his hand particularly towards Sivaangi with an overly friendly smile.
Rakshan slowly turned to Ashwin with a questioning look only to find Ashwin just as confused. "Idhu yaaruda pudhu character?"
(Who's this new character?)
Sivaangi took hold of his hand and shook it gently, her eyes filled with some sort of uncertainty.
Still holding her hand, Surya spoke with a gleam of delight. "Finally ungala pathuten."
(Finally I'm getting to meet you.)

Sorry for not updating for so long guys🙏🏻 After certain incidents, I personally needed some time to become normal again. Even now I miss the old days but everything happens for a reason. Good things will take time. No matter what, I will believe in Kadavul setting and will never stop believing in THEM💜
So for now let's shower them with professional support and love. I strongly believe that there will come a time for us to celebrate. Until then, there's no harm in entertaining ourselves with some fiction so I'll continue writing and will try to update as regularly as possible.
I didn't expect so many people to actually ask for updates, sorry for making you all wait for so long. Thank you for being so patient and understanding with me. I love you all so much!
