✨✨✨✨✨

Sivaangi looked at the wall clock for the nth time. She wondered whether the clock had stopped working or ticking slowly maybe.

Since she met Ashwin that afternoon, she was in an excited state thinking about how the night was going to be. She knew that whatever happened would happen with the flow, but Sivaangi felt nervous.

She didn't want to lie that she hated this feeling. When Ashwin was expressive about his feelings, Sivaangi was a master in hiding her desires. Though she admired this side of Ashwin, today, witnessing him in his most elated state, Sivaangi couldn't imagine what was going to happen.

She reminisced about some of the words which came up during their conversation in the past.

'Enaku onnu matum theriyum, edhu epo nadakanumo adhu apo nadakum, namma neraya yosikka vendiyadhilla..unna modha modhala pathappo ni dha enaku ellam nu thonicha nu sathiyama enaku nyabagam ila, aana indha varushangal enaku kaththu kudutha paadam dha, just..go with the flow..and..I am here..'

'Unkoodave irukanum, un pakkathulaye irukanum, adha thavira unkita na edhume expect pannadhila, panavum maten..epo unaku enna ethukkanum nu thonudho adhu varaikum idhe love oda unakaha kaathutu irupen...'

'I will never take the next step without your consent..unaku pudikala nu un kannula or un seyal la enaku therira next second..un lifela irundhu na velagi poiruven Sivaangi..'

Sivaangi didn't realise that she was shedding tears. He deserves love; that too multiple times more than what he gave her. She might have not expressed herself all these years, but at that moment she decided not to hold back anymore.

'Just, go with the flow Sivu..' her mind too assured her.

Sivaangi was brought out of trance by Ramya who stood there in excitement,

'Hey Sivu, nee kelambu..time ah paru, it's 7..avan 8ku varren nu sonaan la? poi fresh aagi dress change paniko..'

Sivaangi stared at her friend with a smile, but her eyes expressed that she was thrilled and nervous at the same time. Ramya sensed her friend's state and caught her hand with a smile.

'Inga paru Sivu, romba yosikadha..unaku avana pathi nallave theriyum, he is not someone who considers himself, he always thinks about you first, adhu unakum theriyum..relationship nu varrappo indha mari nervous aagradhu lam correct aana onnu matum purinjuko, he doesn't expect anything from you, indha nimisham, indha nodi unkooda spend pananum nu nenaikravan Ashwin..'

'He will never make you uncomfortable, irundhalum avanum manushan dha, sila samayangal la namma siladha purinjukanum, adhukaha namma nammala force panikanum nu solala..rendu perum manasu vitu pesunga, share your thoughts, let him share as well...avan kandippa purinjupaan..'

Sivaangi sighed looking at her friend. Shyness peeped out her face, thinking how he always teases her,

'Paara! ipo vekkam vandhurucha? (looks at her teasingly) idhe moonjiyoda apdiye poi ready aahu..over think panama just go with the flow..'

Sivaangi left the hospital and went to her quarters to get changed. Her mind was clouded with his thoughts and a constant smile adorned her face. When she had encountered her friends who had been in love, she thought that they were just fantasizing the whole thing. She had addressed them as crazy sometimes, but now when she felt it herself for the first time, she realised that love could do magic in your life.

'Indha kadhal vandhuvitaal nam dhegam midhandhidume..vinnodum mugilodum vilayaadi thirindhidume..'

Those lyrics suddenly popped in her mind, making her chuckle.

'Muthiruchu!' she thought herself.

She surfed through her small wardrobe and selected a sky blue colored top, pairing it with a white leggings and shawl. She wiped her damp hair and left it loose before applying her usual moisturizer and lip balm.

When she was about to apply her kohl, her phone dinged with a message, bringing a smile on her face. She read his message,

'Unaku comfortable ah edhadhu wear paniko..just be yourself..'

Sivaangi chuckled knowingly, and typed back,

'Ni solala nalum enaku pudicha mari dha na ready aaven..'

Ashwin smiled before he typed the next,

'Enakum adha pudikum..nee neeya irukradhu..'

How does he manage to impress her with words all the time? Does he do it purposefully, or is it his nature to speak like that?

It didn't seem to be purposeful because his choice of words has always been the same no matter what. That was one of the qualities which Sivaangi admired in Ashwin. She grinned and placed the phone on the dressing table and resumed her work.

She received another notification, and knew that it was him. It was visible that he tol was equally excited as her in this.

'Evlo neram irupa?'

Sivaangi frowned at his question and typed back,

'Evlo neram irukanum?'

'Evlo neram venalum irukalam nu dha na soluven nu unaku theriyadha? adhu..thappa eduthukadha..enkooda night spend panriya?'

Sivaangi gasped in shock. She was not ready for it, and she thought for a while as she was contemplating what to type,

'Ila, I mean..it might not sound right..enaku unkoodave irukanumnu thonudhu..namma apdiye engayachum suthitu irukalama? if you are okay with it?'

Sivaangi chuckled at his childishness. At that moment, she just wanted to pinch his cheeks for behaving so cute. Yet, she decided not to express,

'Slow down Ashwin, konjam porumaya pogalam..innaiku dinner polam..later on..pakalam..'

Ashwin smiled sheepishly before he typed again,

'Hmm, actually sorry, enala happiness thaanga mudila, romba varusha wait uh adha elathayume onna anubavikanum pola thonichu, yosikama ketute..thappa eduthukadha..'

How is she going to handle everything from him together all of a sudden? God only knows.

She checked herself in the mirror one last time and took her hand bag and left to the ground floor when she got a message from him that he had arrived.

Sivaangi stopped in her tracks when she noticed his car, once again. This time she didn't ask anything as she already knew that it might backfire.

'Edho oru mudivoda dha vandhirukaan ivan..' her mind mocked which she immediately shut down.

She noticed him waving his hand with a wide smile and she smiled back. She was confused whether to get in the passenger seat or back seat and finally placed herself in the back seat.

'Hi!' excitement was visible in his voice.

'Hi!' Sivaangi wished back.

Sivaangi maintained and unusual silence which made him realise about what state she was in. Ashwin smiled and adjusted his front mirror to check her. Sivaangi hardly controlled herself from smiling, or literally blushing when she sensed him sighting her via the front mirror.

She pretending to be gazing outside, bringing a knowing smile on Ashwin's face.

'Edhuku ipo silent ah varra?' Ashwin asked.

'Na edhadhu pesina adhuku ni edhadhu onnu solidriye..' Sivaangi murmured, which was heard by him and made him chuckle,

'Edhadhu pesina badhil ku soli dhane ma aganum?' Ashwin said innocently, earning a glare from her.

'Sari sari, na edhume solala..okva? ipo ni pesu..' he said in a teasing tone, making Sivaangi huff,

'Onnu thevayilla..'

The teasings continued until they reached a beautiful rooftop cafe. The arrangements were already made for the couple with an attractive night view of the city. Sivaangi was excited to be in such a place and for a while she forgot herself and her eyes roamed around the place like an excited kid, bringing a wide smile on Ashwin's face.

'Aama, ipo edhuku ivlo lam spend panikitu?'

'Enaku pudichiruku..panren..'

Sivaangi shook her head in disbelief,

'Sonna kekava pora? na idhelam expect panave maten Ashwin..'

'Theriyum..' that's all he said and smiled, making her smile as well.

They reached their table and Ashwin helped her to sit before he sat opposite to her. It was a round table, decorated with scented candles and roses, especially with her favorite candies in a bowl.

Sivaangi started munching the candies without bothering anyone, and Ashwin admired her cuteness, placing his hand under his chin.

'Thank you for accepting my invite..' Ashwin said in his deep voice and handed a flower bouquet along with a chocolate, making Sivaangi frown,

'Idhu lam konjam over ah therila?'

Sivaangi raised her eyebrows, making him shrug his shoulders.

'Apdiya theridhu?'

'Aama nu sona kekava pora?'

Her words made him chuckle,

'Seri paravala, vangiko..enakaha..'

Sivaangi sighed and received the bouquet and chocolates and kept aside.

She couldn't control herself from grinning when he openly stared her throughout. She hardly tried to look into his eyes which bored into hers when he spoke to her. It was not just a gaze, but it stirred up something inside her. His power of eyes was too much for her to handle.

'Enala inume namba mudila Sivaangi, kanavu mari iruku ellame..(chuckles) oru pakkam iva unmaya dha solraala nu thonitu irundhuchu, inoru pakkam sola mudiyadha alavuku sandhosham..apdiye..(sighs) sola therila..'

Sivaangi chuckled at his words while he continued,

'Friends ku lam enane solama treat vache..'

Sivaangi widened her eyes in shock,

'Ei, idhu lam unake over ah therila?'

'Ma, enaku idhulam romba kammi, enaku epdi express panradhu ne therila..adhelam varthayala sola mudiyadhu..chinnapulla thanama kuda irukalam, aana andha feel epdi iruku nu unaku puriyama enanu therila, but enaku..idhu romba perusu Sivaangi..words aala express pana mudiyadhu..'

Sivaangi just smiled. She didn't want to stop his small hapiness which he did to celebrate his biggest happiness of life. How it would be when someone who celebrates you become your soul mate? Sivaangi felt herself gifted.

Suddenly, her mindvoice peeped out, saying something to tease her,

'Sir dha words nala express pana matarame, sir oda expression epdi irukumnu dha theriyume namaku..' 

Suddenly, Sivaangi's face flushed thinking of his teases, while Ashwin didn't fail to notice it.

'Ni enna yosikra nu puridhu, adhuvum nadakum..' he said casually while sipping his juice, which made Sivaangi gasp and glare at him, making him chuckle.

Sivaangi didn't want to lose herself by blushing in front of his mischief so she casually started checking the menu card to order her food. They casually conversed until they received their order.

'Andha chocolate ah ipo vena kuda sapdalam..' he said while pursing his lips together to control his teasing smile.

'Onnu thevayilla, na veeta poi saptukren..' Sivaangi said with a huff, making Ashwin pout cutely.

They had their food and finally Sivaangi's favorite desserts were ordered by him to the table. She started tasting all of them with happiness, bringing an admiring smile on Ashwin's face. He offered tissues to her and also wiped her mouth when she spreaded the sweet everywhere around her lips as she ate them like a kid.

Suddenly she turned conscious when she noticed him looking at her, making him chuckle.

'Enaku unkita pudicha vishayam enanu theriyuma Sivaangi?'

Sivaangi looked at him for an answer while he continued,

'Nee neeya irukradhu..'

Sivaangi looked at him with a smirk,

'Apo unakaha enna epovume maara sola mata dhana?'

Ashwin smiled before he answered,

'Enaku mattum unoda anbu attention idhelam venum, adha kuduthutu ni epdi venalum irundhuko..'

How does he effortlessly handle words? Sivaangi looked at him like he was a wonder. Ashwin raised his eyebrows to question her while she nodded her head sideways and continued eating with a smile.

In a trance, Ashwin held her hand softly and looked into her eyes, which made her look back at him with a smile. 

'Thank you Sivaangi..' he said, making her frown,

'Edhuku?'

'Elathukum, unoda life la enna oru part ah ethukitadhuku..' he finished, making her sigh.

'Ipdilam pesadha Ashwin, en..enaku idhelam romba differenta pudhusa iruku..' she said genuinely, making him chuckle,

'Enakum apdi dha iruku nu unmaya soli dha aaganum, epdi solradhu nu therila oru mari overwhelming ah iruku..'

'Enna avlo pudikuma Ashwin?'

'Ni nenachu kuda paka mudiyadha alavu..'

His words made her smile. 

'Enoda moththa anbayum indha nimisham, apdiye onna kaatanum pola iruku, but I know that it would be too fast..' a gruff chuckle escaped his lips.

Sivaangi averted her gaze, unable to handle his intense eyes and words. Ashwin never gets tired of loving her. If he wanted to stay like this forever, he would willingly accept it for his lifetime. Sivaangi had affected him that much, which she herself didn't realise fully.

'Nanum thanks solanum Ashwin..'

Her words made him frown for which she smiled and continued,

'Enna indha alavuku nesikradhuku thanks Ashwin..' he chuckled hearing her.

'Endha alavu nu enala sathiyama alandhu unna nesika mudila Sivaangi, idhu epdi aarambichudhu epo jaasthi aachu..(chuckles) idhu edhukume enkita badhil ila..enaku therinjadhu elam onne onnu dha, enoda lifela irundha, irukra, iruka pora ore ponnu ni mattum dha...'

Sivaangi stared in his eyes with much love. She wondered whether she would be able to express this much love and affection like him at least. He didn't know that what he was showing towards her was not something she had heard from many, but the first ever experience in her whole life, that too personally.

When words failed to express their state, their eyes spoke more. Ashwin being a person who reads their mind through eyes, he already knew that he would fall for a woman for her eyes at the first moment and he did.

Sivaangi's striking black eyes stole all his words away when he looked into them. Since that, he had struggled a lot to look into them, which screamed innocence, genuineness and her inner beauty and what not?

Anything can change in a person, their face, complexion, physique, hair and so on. But their eyes, they will always be the mirror of their hearts and in all these ten years, Sivaangi's eyes were the solace of his life.

Sivaangi was brought back from her trance when he introduced a spoon of dessert in front of her mouth. She looked at it and then him, who gestured her to eat it. Even though it was a small gesture, she relished it with content.

'Enaku ooti vida matiya?'

His infamous base voice erupted butterflies in her stomach and she bit her lips to control her blush before she fed a spoon for him. He kept looking into her eyes when she fed him with much care, and suddenly she felt too shy to handle his gaze. She withdrew her hand with a shy smile, bringing a smile on his face.

'Stop looking at me like that Ashwin..' 

Sivaangi whined when he admired her non-stop. Ashwin's mischievous side peeped out and he lowered his head to look into her eyes which looked down to control her shyness.

'Yen? enna pannudhu?"

'Ennenamo pannudhu..' was her mind's answer but she said the opposite.

'Ah? gaandaagudhu..' she rolled her eyes, making him laugh.

'Unaku poi sola varala..' he said in a heartbeat, making her sigh. She was tired of hiding herself from now, and she obviously knew that she wouldn't be able to hide herself anymore, especially from this mischievous side of Ashwin.

They finished their dinner and was about to leave the place while Ashwin came to her side and lead her way by keeping his head involuntarily on the small of her back, sending shock waves through her. Ashwin didn't realise but it happened naturally. They walked side by side, and this was the first time they were walking too close.

Sivaangi looked at him and huffed when he seemed unaffected. Ashwin sensed her eyes on him and turned to her side to asked what. But his eyes showed that he was enjoying teasing her. Sivaangi huffed and thought evilly the worst.

As they were walking closer, Sivaangi now purposefully clashed him softly, making him freeze then and now. Sivaangi smirked internally, sensing his state and enjoyed teasing him more. Their height is cute together but at the same time when it comes to teasing, their height was an added advantage for Sivaangi.

Even though she didn't realise fully, her upper body almost unintentionally brushed his abdomen, sending shivers through him. He knew that she was doing it without her knowledge, but he mentally groaned at his state.

'Ennada idhu gentleman ku vandha sodhanai..' his mind mocked his state.

Sivaangi heard him sighing loudly and distanced herself with a victorious smile. Ashwin looked at her in disbelief but decided not to talk anything which might make him lose his control. He was about to open the backdoor of his car but looked at her surprised when she got into the passenger's seat. 

He took the driver seat with a wide smile and turned towards Sivaangi, who hardly tried to control her smile, sensing his surprised face,

'Enna, elame pudhusa iruku?' he mocked, making her glare.

'Oh, ipo na inga erinadhu thappa, venumna pinadi poiratta?' she asked and was about to open the door, but Ashwin hurriedly stopped her,

'Ei, ila ila..ore naal la shock mela shock ah iruku..adha..' he rubbed his nape, making her smile.

They started and travelled in silence for sometime until Sivaangi spoke suddenly,

'Enaku ice cream sapdanum polaruku..'

Ashwin smiled and stopped the car by beach side, as they were already nearby the area. It was a calm place, especially at nights. It was not a new habit for Sivaangi which is eating ice creams at night, that too near the beach. She always enjoys relishing ice cream while glancing the serene waves which calm her instantly whenever she is confused, demotivated, and even when she is extremely happy.

Ashwin too knew about it and immediately wanted to fulfill her wish.

'Unaku vendama?' she asked when Ashwin ordered one. He shook his head horizontally and handed over the ice cream to her, who received it with excitement.

They walked on the sand and reached near the seashore to sit for a while in the companion of calmness. Since the day started, their minds were clouded with various emotions, and now they needed it much. Ashwin admired the way she relished the ice cream while her eyes just stared at the calm waves which moved back and forth under the brightness of the moon.

Her face glowed in the moonlight and Ashwin felt lucky to have the woman he admired, loved, and cherished, that too beside him. Her natural self shone in the silvery light of the moon. At that moment, he felt the urge to kiss her, yet he controlled himself.

'Unaku bayama ilaya?' his words made her look at him in confusion.

'Edhuku bayapadanum?'

'Ila...indha rathiri nerathula oru paiyan kooda thaniya..' he dragged with a teasing glint but Sivaangi shrugged at him casually,

'Unkooda irundha na safe ah dha irupe nu enaku theriyum..' she said instantly, making his heart melt all of a sudden. He felt elated when she trusted him more than anything. But her next words made him smile wider,

'And, ipo dha namakulla definition different ayiruchu la?' she blabbered without her knowledge and then immediately regretted when he looked at her teasingly.

'Paara! hmm..innaiku endha pakkam thirumbinalum shock ah kudukriye nee!'

Sivaangi didn't want to show that she involuntarily said that, so she immediately matched it,

'Inime apdi dha..' she said, making him laugh.

'Madam, enna thirumba kalaaikreengala?'

'Un alavuku lam illa..' she licked the ice cream from her hand and said it without looking at him.

'Ni ivlo pakkathula okkarndhu irukradhe oru mari semmaya iruku..' he said and Sivaanngi snapped her head at him. 

That's when she realised that she was sitting too close to him, almost brushing his body. Her heart skipped a beat when she noticed his face which was too close to hers. Her heartbeat raised in no time when his face glowed in the moon light, stirring her heart. His eyes flickered to her lips and Sivaangi got reminded about his challenge.

Sivaangi didn't feel uncomfortable. It felt right. She knew that someday it would happen, but at this moment she knew that whatever they deserved should happen with the flow, and of course out of their love. She sensed him nearing her, and her heartbeat raised.

Her gaze descended to his lips which were almost close to hers and her eyes automatically closed when she felt his hot breath on her lips. When she anticipated him to touch her lips, she heard him whisper near her and opened her eyes,

'Ice cream epdi iruku?'

Sivaangi gave a death glare when she realised that he teased her, and huffed mentally for giving in. She knew that he wouldn't give up too soon in the challenge, but still she believed that it would happen with the flow. Ashwin never gets enough of teasing Sivaangi!

'Haan, romba nalaruku..' her words were glazed with annoyance for which Ashwin mentally chuckled, yet he couldn't deny the fact of being heavily affected by her proximity. Sivaangi snapped her head to the opposite side, and heard him chuckle louder.

'Apdiya? enga kudu papom..' before she realised, Ashwin took a bite from where she ate, making her feel the kulukuluness inside her. Even though it was an old romantic expression, it gave a new kind of feel to Sivaangi, which she couldn't deny.

Yet, she mantained stern face until he looked into her eyes intently when he took a bite from her half-eaten ice cream. Ashwin's eyes lowered to her lips which were glazed with some ice cream and Sivaangi ignored it deliberately this time, not wanting to get teased once again.

'Edhuku ipo ipdi pakra?' she asked.

'Therila, ivlo close ah idha first time..different ah oru mari kulukulu nu iruku..' he said in her language and looked at her sultry lips, making her blush instantly.

'Poda!' she couldn't control her grin and immediately got up to walk but Ashwin was sooner than her and gently pulled her towards him, making her dash onto him. Sivaangi was shocked at the beginning, but when she looked into his magnetic eyes, she couldn't control her shyness. 

Ashwin caught her hands and looked into her eyes,

'Love you so much..'

Those words directly hit her hard. Both had never said directly in person and this moment was worth freezing in their life. This time he neared her again, and Sivaangi's heartbeat shooted up.

Ashwin knew that he was about to lose his challenge but he didn't mind. He said that she would initiate it, but he was too impatient when she just sat there too close to him, radiating her hotness into him.

He whispered near her face, while his breath fanned her lips,

'I know that we could wait, but indha moment..inum memorable ah irukanum nu thonudhu Sivaangi..' he said and his eyes begged her to kiss him, which she instantly realised from his gaze.

Yet, she decided to tease him,

'Un challenge enachu?'

He sighed and looked into her eyes,

'Manasa thottu solu, unaku ipo kiss pananum nu thonalaya?' he asked yearningly for which Sivaangi felt that she could give up anytime, yet she wanted to take the revenge.

'Yarume iladha indha chilled night, nilavoda velicham, alaigaloda saththam..with everything, you look too irresistible..enna dha ivlo naal unna love panirundhalum, en manasu mulukka neratya aasaigal irundhalum, ni accept pannadhuku apro andha feel vera mari iruku Sivaangi..and indha moment, unoda indha azhagana odhadugala kiss panra bakyam enaku kedacha na romba luckya feel panuven..'

To be honest, Sivaangi was flattered. Can someone ask a kiss like that? She didn't know. Even now, he uttered that he would feel lucky if she allowed him to kiss her. What kind of a man he is? and Sivaangi was excited and thrilled to lead a life with this hopelessly romantic man.

Sivaangi gulped and looked into his eyes, but then again her eyes held a mischievous glint,

'Ice cream karar irukaru, avar patha paravalaya?'

Actually she couldn't control her shyness, so she tried to tease him but she realised that it was backfired when he left the place,

'Seri va polam..'

'You spoiled the whole thing Sivaangi!' her mind kaluvi oothufied her.

Ashwin walked faster while Sivaangi tried to catch up with him,

'Iru iru, ipo edhuku kovapadra?' she asked like nothing happened.

Ashwin shot his head at her and looked at her in disbelief,

'Ni oru seriyana sadist di!' he exclaimed in kaduppu, and walked past her making her chuckle. He looked irresistibly cute with his cute anger. She knew that he wouldn't cross his boundaries without her consent, yet she enjoyed teasing him alot.

'Adhuku nu? idhulaya tease panuva? paru avan mogame oru maari ayiruchu!' her mind regretted her actions.

He suddenly turned towards her, making her stop in her tracks,

'Challenge pannadhu lam enaku nallave nyabagam irundhuchu, aana indha vishayathula na thothalum paravala nu thonuchu..'

His words made her fall once again. She stared at him, making him sigh,

'Seri, you are going to make me wait na, paravala..I will wait..' he said and turned to walk again, making her regret her actions.

It was visible that he was disappointed, yet he didn't want to make her uncomfortable until she was ready to give herself into it. He had waited for ten freaking years, and another few months wouldn't make any difference in his love towards her.

Sivaangi took tha passenger's seat and Ashwin started driving her back to her place. He didn't turn towards her and his eyes were fixed on the road, making her pout.

'Kochukitaanatam iruku!' she thought.

'Kochutiya Ashwiney?' she asked.

'Ilaye..' he replied.

'Patha apdi therilaye?'

She heard him sigh and talk,

'Kovamlam ila, I can understand your situation, but irundhalum it was a long wait for me, adha konjo avasarapatuten..sorry..'

Sivaangi felt bad for doing this to him now, and Ashwin continued,

'Means, enaku idhu romba slow dha, aana unaku fast ah irundhirukalamla? enmela dha thappu..' he didn't do anything wrong, but he regretted his actions, which made Sivaangi to feel guilty all of a sudden.

'Onnu matum purinjupiya nu therila, unmela irukra love ngradhu en lifelaye oru marukka mudiyadha vidhysamana feel, adhu oru bodha mari..sometimes namma edhulayachum high ayitomna namma enna panrom nu theriyadhu la, andha mari dha na edhadhu react panidre ipdi..'

Sivaangi felt her stomach churn when those words escaped from his mouth genuinely,

'Unna na uncomfortable aakirundha manichuru..' he said, making her speechless. Him and his raw expression of his feelings were the best quality she admired from her man.

He never wanted to mask his desires in front her, he believed that she deserved to know what effect she had on him, despite of hiding it. Sivaangi too had never felt uncomfortable with it as she knew that her heart was already captured by his genuineness. She only felt shy with his daring expression of his inner turmoils.

Sivaangi remained silent until they reached her quarters. She was in her deep thoughts and Ashwin noticed it too, yet he decided not to disturb her. 

'Vandiya niruthu..' she said, making Ashwin turn to her side for a while,

'Edhuku?' he asked confused.

'Pesanum..' 

Ashwin looked at her perplexed and stopped the car in a road which was actually devoid of any vehicles or people. He turned to her and looked at her for a brief second,

'Solu..'

Sivaangi turned to his side and looked into his eyes,

'Yen ni ipdi iruka Ashwin?'

He looked at her confused,

'Epdi?'

'Adha, ipdi..ivlo paasama, ivlo..(sighs) enaku epdi solradhunu therila..' she looked defeated but he completed the rest with a smile,

'Paithiyama..adhane?'

Sivaangi looked at him and huffed,

'Apdinu ila..' she dragged but he spoke again,

'Apdi dha..' he finished, making her look at him.

'Therila Sivaangi, enna pethavanga, kooda porandhavanga yarumelayum iladha alavuku unmela yen ivlo anbu vachiruken nu enake therila, ni en vazhka fulla kedacha vera edhume vendamnu epovo thoniruchu, adha ithana varushama maatha mudila..'

Sivaangi was overwhelmed by his confession. She asked him back,

'Oru vela na no solirundha enna panirupa?'

He thought for a while and smiled at her,

'Ni soliruka mata..'

Sivaangi smiled at his confidence, yet she probed him again,

'In case, no solirundha ena panirupa nu solu..'

'Ni yes solra varaikum wait panirupe..'

Sivaangi chuckled at him,

'Avlo nambikkaiya?'

Ashwin nodded his head and spoke,

'En love mela irukra nambikkai..' he smiled.

It was visible for Sivaangi that he was still disappointed about her denying the kiss. Actually she didn't deny, but wanted to tease him for a while. She didn't expect him to turn emotional due to a subtle tease.

She suddenly asked out of nowhere,

'What it I say no for a kiss forever?'

Ashwin's eyes grew wider and he looked at her in shock, making her laugh internally,

'You mean, kalyanathuku apramuma?' he asked like a kid, which made Sivaangi chuckle out loud,

'Ila, indha love phase la..'

Ashwin visibly relaxed, which looked too cute to handle. He patted his chest and spoke,

'Nalla vela, shock la poi serndhirupen..' he exclaimed dramatically, making her laugh. He looked at her with a smile and continued,

'Enaku apdi thonala, it will happen somehow..'

'Seri..' that's all she said, making him frown.

'Enna seri?'

Sivaangi relieved her breath and looked at him, which made him frown more. Her eyes were enough to express that she was ready to trust him with her everything, Yet Ashwin looked at her briefly, not being able to understand what was running in her mind.

'Then let me lose the challenge..' Sivaangi uttered and even before he realised what happened, she stretched herself forward and pecked his lips.

Even though it was a second's happening, Ashwin sat there stunned. He didn't expect her to take the first step this soon. She is bold enough to handle anything, but in their case, he thought that she would take her time to initiate physical intimacy. 

Ashwin sat there with opened mouth, unable to believe what happened a while ago. Sivaangi's face turned into shyness before she immediately got down the car and started walking with a wider grin. She knew that her face would look like a pink candy now. Even she herself couldn't believe that she did it. She knew that he would be sitting there like a statue now and smiled to herself. She had no strength to turn and look at his face after what has happened.

Ashwin was a bit later to come out of the shock and immediately realised that she left. He got down in a hurry and took fast strides to reach her. He blocked her path with a mischievous smile on his face. Sivaangi jerked when he came in front of her.

'Madam ipo enna paneenga?'

Sivaangi felt the heat rising to her cheeks due to shyness. She lowered her head down without uttering anything. Ashwin was actually elated. His happiness had no bounds when he realised that how much she trusted him. He lowered himself to her level and tried to look into her eyes,

'Adha feel panradhukulla poita! kuduthadha olunga kuduthirukalamla?' he said with a pout, which made her blush harder,

'Anyhow, challenge is done..you sealed the deal..ipo..na kudukalama?' his base voice made her stomach do a flip. 

She gasped and looked at him in shock. She shook her head sideways vigorously,

'Ila ila vendam!' she said, making him smirk,

'Yen? madam kudukrappo matum jolly ah irundhucha? enna thavikka vitutu ipo madam enga escape aaga pakreenga?'

He took a step forward, making her jerk and move backwards. She looked around and no one was there in their vicinity. 

'Vendam Ashwin, road uh..' she said with a blush, making him bite his lips with a smile,

'Oh, apo road dha prachnaya? pina carla okva?'

Sivaangi gasped in shock. She knew that she initiated herself and now she won't be able to step back. His yearning eyes expressed how much he was yearning for this moment to happen. She felt like running due to shyness, but she knew that she was bounded to him lifelong, no matter what.

'Ni kiss kudukama poirundha kuda ipdi ayirukuma nu therila, aana ipo..kandippa I want to feel it again, ilana enaku thookama varadhu di!' he whined, making her smile with a flushed face.

'Ei, enaku shy aavudhu Ashwineyy! po!' she tried her luck, but he was adament enough to make her accept.

They didn't even know whether they had that much patience to reach the back of his car seat where their actual first kiss happened.

Both were nervous and able to feel each other's heartbeat. Their bodies radiated the heat, changing the environment more romantic. His chocolate brown eyes screamed the uncontrollable love and passion he had for her, only her.

'Are you nervous?'

She shook her head sideways, making him smile,

'Pudhusa iruku, adhu apdiye heart uh fulla oru mari..' she couldn't form words. Actually he too was in the same state.

'Love la idhuvum oru phase dha, adhu epo nadakanum ngradhu ovvoruthara poruthadhu..idhula force panika edhuvume ila, rendu peroda manasu samandhapattu nadakra endha vishayamum avangalku pudichu nadakra varaikum thappilla Sivaangi..' he said looking into her eyes.

'Unaku pudichiruka?' he waited for her reply. 

Sivaangi nodded her head in shyness.

'En kanna pathu sollu..' he took her hand in his and asked her for a verbal confession. How many men would do it? she actually wondered. 

She felt emotional, shy, happy..everything at the same time. Her heart swelled in happiness, and she thanked the universe for giving a gem like him in her life. She knew that he was resisting himself for a long time, yet he is asking her again whether she was equally into it!

'Pudichiruku Ashwiney..'

Her words made him smile wider and his hands ascended up her arms sensually, making her shudder under his touch. His hands slowly landed on her neck, cupping her face gently and looked at her eyes which were glazed with shyness.

He slowly neared her and kiss her striking eyes which he always had the urge to do so. Sivaangi closed her eyes in reflex and relished the feathery kiss. His lips trailed down her bridge of the nose and placed a gentle kiss on the tip of her nose, making her smile. 

His one hand reached the back of her neck, gripping her locks gently when he planted soft kisses on both her cheeks. Sivaangi's nervousness slowly started dying down and she experienced a sense of euphoria when his lips touched her supple skin.

He withdrew himself a little and looked into her eyes before looking at her inviting lips. Sivaangi gulped but shyness took her over when he slowly placed his lips on hers. It was slow and gentle, sending shivers through their bodies. 

Inexperience was visible while they explored each other's lips but the passion took over everything they held back. 

Sivaangi's hand reached the back of his head when Ashwin deepened the kiss. It held tons of emotions, especially the promise he made to her to hold her to his entire lifetime. 

Sivaangi felt numb. She knew that it was normal in a relationship, but it cannot be this perfect with the perfect man beside her, who prioritized her comfort. She could do anything for him for making her feel special, but what she didn't know was that she was already head over heels for this man!

He withdrew himself after a good few minutes, panting hard. His eyes expressed how much he was overwhelmed. He placed a gentle kiss on her forehead and Sivaangi noticed his eyes watering. It expressed how much he was overwhelmed by her trust towards him.

He gently hugged her to his heart, making her smile in content. It was not only a kiss due to passion, but also a moment to be cherished as the symbol of their trust on each other.

He cupped her face and looked at her with much love,

'What have you done to me Sivaangi?'

He asked in his gruff voice, making her chuckle.

'You kept me addicted to you all these days, innaiku extrava innonnu add ayiruchu..' he said, making her frown.

He chuckled, thinking about the life which is going to be interesting with his innocent girlfriend.

'Your kiss..'

'Enough of making me blush..idhuku mela enala mudiyadhu Ashwineyy! kannam lam valikkudhu..' she whined with a blush, making him laugh.

'Idhuke ipdiya? innum evlo iruku?' he teased her, earning a smack on his arm.

'Ahh! valikudhu ma!' he pretended to be hurt, knowing that she wouldn't believe.

Sivaangi chuckled and got down from the car to get into the passenger's seat with all smiles.

Ashwin kept looking at her then and now while driving, but Sivaangi turned the other side and kept looking outside as she was not affected.

'Indha pakkama pathu vekkapatta nanum rasipenla?' 

'Indha mari ootradha irundha inime kiss eh pana maten da!'

Ashwin gasped dramatically,

'Iyayo! apdi matum paniradheenga madam, ipdi aasaya kaatitu orediya aapu vachudadheenga!' his words made her laugh, and she shook her head knowing that man was not going to get tired of teasing her or making her blush for lifelong.

Sivaangi was about to get down from the car, but stopped when he called her.

'Ei Sivaangi!'

'Hmm..'

'Love you..' she smiled and nodded her head.

'Thirumba sola matiya?'

She had never uttered directly looking into his eyes all these years. She knew that he invaded his heart long time back, but she was not ready to accept it. In the process of experiencing their love stupor, Sivaangi was equally into it with Ashwin . She was dazed completely; completely by his everything.

She knew that it was the moment to say it. She knew that there was no point in holding back. Her eyes bored into his, enchanting him at the very instant, and she uttered those magical words,

'Love you more Ashwineyy!'

Ashwin chuckled at her cuteness when she uttered something much huger for his heart to handle and hopped to her place just like that.  

Those words rang in his mind and he leaned on his seat with his eyes closed for a while. He smiled to himself, reminiscing everything.

The smell of her hair, the taste of her lips, the feeling of her skin seemed to have got inside him, or into the air all around him. All these days he yearned for her mere presence in his life, now he felt it stepping up all of a sudden. He realised that she had become a physical necessity now.

Smiling to himself, he looked at her direction with the same dazed state which she had kept him without her knowledge.

His woman to love, to respect and to cherish forever. 

His "Bodhai Kodhai"!
