'Ashwineyyyy! vidunga..enna panreenga?'

Sivaangi jerked while she herself helped with the earrings. Ashwin was not in a state to listen to her as he was too indulged in her fragrance, who was out of the shower a few minutes ago.

When it comes to their proximity, it always affected both especially her. No matter how much she tried..she would never use to his touches.

For a second, she too relished the moment when he hugged her from behind and traced his lips on her nape. Suddenly her eyes fell on the wall clock, and jerked before she slowly released herself from his hold, making him pout,

'Enna di?' he whined, making her glare,

'Time ennachu nu paarunga Ashwineyy, it's 6pm!'

Ashwin huffed,

'Six thane di? inum one-hour iruku..(huffs) kalaila irunthu oru kissku unkita evlo kenja vendi iruku?' He rolled his eyes and crossed his arms against his chest, making her chuckle.

She went near him and poked him arm which he jerked off, making her sigh,

'Nammale late ah pona nallava irukum?'

He snapped his head at her teasingly,

'Adha yaru solranga nu paru! madam ethukume late ah ponadhillaya?' he mocked, making her roll her eyes.

'Epovo nadanthathu, athuku nu? epovume soli kaamipeengala?'

'Annaiku ni epo varuva nu nimishathuku nooru vaati vaasalaye pathukitu ninnu maatikitadhu naanu..yen di sola mata?' he huffed.

She shook her head with a smile and forcefully hugged him who tried to escape from the hold at the beginning but stayed without any movement later,

'Ashwineeyyy!'

He hummed,

'Ashwineeyyyyy!

'Enna?'

'Seri, kochukatheenga..namma poitu vanthapro, night uh...' she dragged, while his face brightened,

'Night uh?'

She smiled inwardly, sensing what he is getting excited for, but composed herself,

'Night uh..kiss uh tharre..'

He widened his eyes in disbelief,

'Enatheyy? ithuku tha ivlo build up ah?' he pouted with a glare, making her chuckle,

'Sari sari, modhalla neenga kelambunga! adha aproma pathu panikalam..' she pushed him towards the washroom, making him sigh,

'Unaku un poriyurunda tha mukiyam..pathukre..'

'Vaanga Ashwin, vaanga Sivaangi!'

They walked together into the Sathyam theatre with all smiles while the eyes which looked at them in admiration, turned shiny reminiscing their journey throughout, until now. Seven months back, their special day made their people burst in happiness as it was the day which they desired for a long time.

Today, looking at them walking together side by side, wearing a matching-colored shirt and shalwar, made them all feel 'kulukulu' in their stomach which once she mentioned for the first time in the television, where everything began.

Sivaangi wavered her hand with a huge smile on her face which she used to do, and Ashwin did his gesture of gratitude by placing his hand on his chest, making everyone smile at the way they remain the same always. Whatever happened throughout their complicated journey, the fruit of the travel became beautiful, filling many hearts with happiness and pride.

They were given seats separately with the team members in a special cabin, and they walked through the way, not before greeting their people.

The theatre was silent yet chaotic, while Sivaangi sat near Ashwin fiddling with her hands. He noticed it and pressed her hand with a smile, while she smiled a little, looking into his eyes.

'Bayama iruku Ashwineeyy..'

He looked at her and smiled playfully,

'Enoda Sivaangi ku bayama? ithelam nambra mariya iruku?'

She smiled at the way he tried to cheer her up. The way he mentions "enoda Sivaangi" was not only today, but whenever he uttered it, she felt her heart skip a beat. She felt his hold tighten on her hand and she looked at him with a smile,

'Therila Ashwin, makkal itha ethupangala nu oru mari nervous ah iruku..'

This was not the first time for him to deal with her insecurities. But, whenever he felt so, he didn't fail to stay by her and show the capacity of his woman. Today was not an exception.

'Intha Sivaangi epovume avangalku (looks at the people) unmaya tha irunthiruka..intha Sivaangiya tha avanga nesichanga, ipovum nesichutu irukanga..ava epovume apdiye tha irukaa (smiles) maarala..athe mari ivangalum epovume irupanga..Sivaangikaha..'

Sivaangi felt her eyes turn moist. She always gets a clarity from him, but this was different. It was not only her Ashwineyy who spoke those words but also her biggest admirer; his words and eyes expressed how much he admired her since the day this petite woman entered into his life.

The audience screamed when her name appeared on the screen with the background score from Anirudh musical.

Sivaangi K Ashwinkumar

in and as 

"SAHASRAA" 

Her first movie as a lead; a chance for her talent; a chance to reward her hard work; and finally, a chance to entertain her people!

More than the cheers she heard from the audience, a loud voice and applaud from her side, made her heart warm. The way his eyes shone when she appeared on the screen showed that it was one of his dreams. How heavenly would it feel when your man relished your success as his?

It was a crime-thriller movie with her in a promising role with a successful director. Even though it was an unexpected one, Ashwin knew that it was the one for her. He stood by her side throughout her shooting despite of his busy schedules as him being one of the most happening actors of South. 

Sivaangi noticed the way his eyes moved and re-sized for each scene; everything was out of admiration. That's what she needed; she knew that they would like it, if he liked it. 

The content faces and happy cheers of their people were enough for them to show that her hard work paid the success. Happy tears pooled in her eyes when her Ashwineyy looked into her eyes before planting a kiss on her palm with a smile of pride. 

'Happy Thala Diwali pa Ashwin..' 

The director of the movie hugged him with a content smile radiating his happiness while Ashwin reciprocated it,

'Intha naal neenga rendu perum sernthu celebrate paniruka vendiyathu..padatha release pani ungala nervous aakitenla?'

Ashwin wordlessly smiled at his seven-months-old wife who looked back at him expectantly. The held-up tears escaped her eyes when she heard her husband's words,

'Itha vida  perumaiyana, azhagana Thala Deepavali entha husband kume kedaikadhu sir..'

✨✨✨✨✨

With Love,
