Naan specify pandra edathulaaaa start playing it... and at the end tell me how it felt...

—————————————
The shoot was wrapped for the moment as the next schedule was set after sunset...

Ashwin walked out with Pugazh while Sivaangi had excused herself for a sudden call...

"Yaaru kitta machan pesra? Ava poyeeee romba neram aagiduchu..." Ashwin said... trying to sound casual...

" Adhuva maaplai.... Avaluku oru payyan paathanga veetla... papa kitta Chumma pesi vechika sonnanga...
Okay Na set pannidalam nu solli ava kitta number kuduthanga... Peru Siddharth..." Pugazh said as his phone rang...

"Machan... naan poi Damu Appa call pannaru... ennanu ketutu varen... ingayeee irukadha... room la wait pannu...." Pugazh said as he slowly patted Ashwin's shoulders before leaving the place...

Ashwin pulled his mobile out to randomly scroll through it when Shruthi... one of the girls from the crew came out...

Ashwin had no idea why his heart wanted it... he did speak out at the end...

"Shr... Shruthi...."

"Sollunga Ashwin..." she came forward...

"Sivaangi enga irukkanu theriyuma?" Ashwin asked a little hesitant but something in him just wanted to say it out...

"Ava room la etho call pesa pona... anga than iruppa..." Shruthi said as Ashwin nodded making Shruthi nod back and leave...

Ashwin walked along the corridor as he finally reached her room...

(Start the theme here)

He slowly knocked on it...
And tapped his feet waiting for her to open the door...
The moment her door opened... there stood her...
The unfiltered her... in her casuals...
Her as HER...

Ashwin stood there all lost... lost into her eyes...
The eyes that had the power to make him a nervous mess...

"Ashwin...." She started as he breathed out before pushing her in and locking the door by pushing it back with his leg...
His one arm wrapped around her waist while the other cupped her cheeks pushing 'them' behind...

He looked into her eyes with a fear mixed emotion flooded look as...

He took in her lips with his lips, moving back with her...
Soon her back hitting the wall behind...

He sucked on her lips as if his life depended on that kiss while his hand that held her waist now straightened a bit to hold the wall for support as he kissed her...

Ashwin pulled on her lips one after the other a bit rough...as he moved his head to find comfort into the burst of feelings...making her reciprocate it...

Sivaangi fell weak on her knees...
Her mind,  not ready to realise what was going on...
But...
the moment it struck her... she opened her closed eyes and pushed him away...

Unknown bunch of tear droplets made their way down the shocked face of Sivaangi as she pushed him out the room...

Ashwin's guilt ridden face went dull as tears made its way down his cheeks... The door between them closing to soon hide one from the other...

(Pause it here)

Ashwin stood there with one part of him screaming at how stupid he behaved seconds ago while the other part... with a fear on what she would feel now...

The whole feeling felt confusing....
The whole thought did not quite fix in...

Ashwin tried knocking on the door... but when the answer was silence... he couldn't do anything with his extreme high heart rate at one end and a lost mind in the other...

Ashwin felt his insides collapse as he literally stood there not knowing what to do....

"Shoot polam..."  There came the voice which could maybe help him or maybe not...

Ashwin walked to the spot to get ready hoping things would be normal or At least seeable when she comes out of her room...

————————

Ashwin sat there with the choreographer and Hari... them explaining  the scene...
But his mind refused to take any thing in nor give it out...

He sat there tapping his feet restlessly...
His fingers interlocked and elbows resting on each thigh as his eyes looked towards the corridor every now and then to see if he could get an image of what he wished for...

"Irunga Sivaangi vanthuta... sernthu explain panlam..." Hari said making the poor man's heart skip a beat...

Ashwin turned to look at the corridor and saw the best view his eyes could get...
It was her... all that he wanted to see...

He just wished she would Atleast give him a glance but instead she whispered something into Hari's ears and walked away...

"Ennachu Hari..." Ashwin asked seeing Sivaangi leave...

"Edho thala valikudhu... inniki shoot ku Konjam late aagum nu sollitu pora Ashwin... paavam... Adhan I told her to take a day off...."

Ashwin quickly excused himself as he jogged out of the shoot leaving the duo inside confused...

"Enga odran Avan?" Pugazh who just returned asked sitting on the chair Ashwin just left...

"Theriyala... Dho varen nu kelambi poitan..." Hari Saïd as the trio got into their own talks...

Ashwin jogged out of the spot to her room... to find her room empty...

He sighed as he jogged to the exit door and walked out to find her walking at a distance big enough...
Him in one end of the big open area and her on the other end...

(Aasai tune from lift theme to play from here)

"Sivaangi...." He shouted hoping she would hear it but sighed out loud when she didn't pay a heed...

He ran to her shouting "Sivaangi" every now and then...

It was the sunset time when the sky is at its best shades of purple and blue...

Ashwin tried one last call as he shouted his lungs out...

"Sivaangi Nillu!"

He knew she heard it... he just knew it...
But the fact that even after hearing it... she never wished to stop hurt him...

He sighed before he ran again to stop in front of her this time...

"Sivaangi please.... Please naa solradha konjam kelu...."

But she pushed him aside without again getting a glance of him...

She got into her car and just when she was about to start it...
He stood... right in front of the car...

She horned... but he didn't want to give in...
She kept horning but there he stood unaffected...
She looked up to find him standing there looking back at her...

She sighed as she stomped at the leg place below...

(Ends here)

"Ennadhan venum?" She asked lowering the windows...

"Un kitta pesanum..." he replied a bit softened now...

"Adhellam mudiyadhu... thallunga..." she replied trying to raise the windows back...

"Ennalayum thalla mudiyadhu..." he replied and stood there...

Sivaangi slammed her head towards the steering wheel as she went "ayooooo" making it horn...

"Ulla erunga..." she unlocked the door making him nod fast and get inside...

He got in and sat there... looking entirely at her and only her...

"Ma... Enna paaren..." he asked a bit soft... yearning for Atleast a Look from her now...
But when she refused he sighed and looked down at his thighs...

"I'm sorry.... Naan Adha venumneeee pannala... in fact naan yen apdi panen nu Ennaku Ippo varaikum theriyala....

Pugazh Siddharth pathi en... en kitta sonnapo all my mind wanted was to see you...
Yen apdi thonuchunum theriyala...

Shruthi kitta ketutu un room ku vandha varaikum than I was in control...

But the moment I saw you... en moola, idhayam ellameee vedichidum pola irundhuchu..."

He sighed as those tears made its way down his cheeks...And slowly picked her hands into his...

"Nee indha paata epdi paathanu Ennaku theriyala...
Aana naan indha paata en vaazhkaiyaveee paathuten...
In fact... en vazhkai ah vazhndhuten...

Avlo realisations... avlo findings.... Avlo feelings and...

Avlo padapadapu... Chumma Appo Ippo vara padapadapu illa... un vazhkailaaaa oru aal paatha mattum varum la... andha padapadapu..."

"You remember the bedroom scene... My mind literally wanted and yearned for that every morning...

En heart... yen Idhellam daily ipdiyeeee idhe madhiri... un kooda nadakadhaaaa nu yenguchu....

We looked perfect Sivaangi....
We felt home...

Naan feel panna adhe feelings neeyum panna nu Ennaku theriyum...
Naan paathen....

Onne onnu dhan...." He said as he pulled her chin to make her look at him...

"Avasara pattu endha mudivum edukatha....
Un manasu enna Solludhunu kelu...

Unnaku pudichaaaa mattum pannu...." He said as he left her chin and got out of the car...

Sivaangi sat there... feeling what you call a thousand butterflies each carrying a question flying throughout...

Ashwin walked back in... hoping she would come in too soon...

"Ashwin! Shoot polam... it's already getting late... Inniki unga portions shoot pannitu... naaliki Sivaangi portions shoot pannalam..." Hari said as he saw Ashwin enter...

"Illa ney! Shoot polam... Ennaku okay..." They heard a voice making them turn...

Ashwin's face filled up with a MIXTURE of feelings...
He had a smile at the same time his eyes turned Misty...
Something made him think while something else made him excited...

Was she okay?
If yes was it because of him?

She walked in dressed in the costume for the date night sequence...
Ashwin was busy setting his hair... maybe he just tried to look hat way while she breathed out and walked in...

He... wanted to stand there leaving it all to her... while his heart never wanted to leave a chance to steal glances of her...

"Embodiment of Gorgeousness" If that was even correct was what he thought...

"Ashwin take polam..." Hari announced as they all settled things in their places...

Ennaalum theeraa kaadhaalaaga

Sivaangi twirled as she placed the wine glass on the table and settled on her chair...

Eppodhum nee naan pakkamaaga

She placed her palm flat on his passing on a heartfelt smile...

Ashwin left out a visible gasp as he EXPERIENCED... what he saw...

What she sang didn't feel like a scene anymore...
'What's she doing?' He thought as he smiled back... a meek smile... not so full... still in confusion....

Endrendrum neengaa kaatchiyaaga

She slowly interlocked her fingers with his as she sang it out...

Doesn't feel like a shot...
Ashwin widened his eyes as an actual smile bloomed on his face...
Things started surprising him...
But was this really not for the shot?

Ellorum ketkum per anbin saatchiyaaga

"Cut!" Ashwin sat there still in a trance...
To whether clarify it with her...
His feelings weren't clear to him... how was he supposed to ask her what he felt?

He in a confused state walked out of the spot to change into the final costume...
THE RAIN SEQUENCE....

That was when he finally found her... by herself... near her room...

'Will she not talk? Will it be weird?" He sighed as he took baby hesitant steps towards her...

"Sivaangi...." He called out... sooper feeble that maybe only he could hear...

She slowly lifted her head off her phone to look up at him...And raised her eyebrows in a questioning manner...

"Adhu... hmmm... naan... anga..." Ashwin fiddled with his fingers while she smiled...

'Did she smile? What the hell is going on?
Is she okay with the apology? Or the proposal? OR BOTH?' Ashwin was shock mess as he looked at her with slightly part lips...

Letting him be that way... Sivaangi took a few steps to push her hands inside the little gap his hands created with his waist on either side... as she pushed herself into a hug...

She smiled when she heard a gasp... and from that second she enjoyed how his chest kept going up high and low and again high and the low...

A man who had the guts to kiss her now felt tooooo nervous or a bit just frozen to even look down...

Before he could realise what went on... they heard...

"Shoot polam..."

Sivaangi pulled away and without sparing a glance walked away with a smile that didn't leave his eyes...

Ashwin walked in with his already wet clothes on...
As the touch up guy came behind spraying some water on his hair to create the little 'on spot wet look'

The shot felt again... not like any other shot but something felt real...

The smile she passed when she turned to get a glance of him...

The way they danced to the tune of the water...

EVERYTHING felt just REAL...

"PERFECT!" Brindha maam announced as she ran to the duo....

"Dei Dei! Rendu perum pinniteenga... I'm damn sure indha song will come out at its best! AVLO AZHAGA PANNIRKEENGA..." She hugged the duo with one still is a trance or shock while the other reciprocating the happiness...

"And AASAI is a wrap!" Hari announced as the crew celebrated the completion of the song...

Sivaangi smiled as she showcased her dimples... while she clapped for the wrap...
While Ashwin stood there drying his hair and only... only looking at her...

His dimples too were showcased... but for a different reason....

She hugged a bye to the crew as she finally left the spot! Changed into her casuals... all set to go home...

She walked out to wait for Pugazh who was to drop her today...

To find Ashwin... standing in the open ground...
His hands inside his pockets and him looking at his legs that kicked little stones...

She smiled as she walked to him...

"Hi?"

Ashwin jerked as he turned to find her beside...
He instantly smiled back at her but didn't exactly to know what to speak...

"Epdi pora?" He asked distracting his mind and heart...

"Naan Yen katti pudichen nu kekka maatiya?" There! She shot another bullet to make the already confused guy stumble...

Ashwin turned to look back at her... expecting her to answer it...
He knew what things were leading to and his insides were juggling his organs...

He wanted her... he loved her!
But! The thing was... was she having feelings for her back?

He kissed her without her consent!
Yes, he did apologise but that's not going to change wrong to a right...

His heart knew she liked him and her asking these question made it believe it...

He breathed in as he gathered all his power to ask the question that could maybe change things for them...

"Edhuku?"

She smiled as she inserted her index and middle finger into the gap that two consecutive buttons in his shirt made... hooking it and pulling him down...

He stumbles a bit as he bent down to now have his nose pressing onto hers...
Their eyes not too far away from touching...

"Unnaku enna pudikum dhane?" She asked instantly turning his eyes Misty...

He nodded as he breathed in... a bit of hers too...

"Evlo?" She asked... her eyes glassy...

Ashwin became shaky as he answered within a heartbeat...
"Romba..." he whispered

A few drops of tears fell down their cheeks which were touching each other's... making it hard for them to distinguish whose it was...

"Ennakum...." She whispered back as she hugged him by the neck...
Making him instantly wrap his hands around the small of her back...

As he placed his head on the crook of her neck....

Ashwin closed his eyes as he let out those tears of mixed emotions which all turned into only tears of happiness...

"Nijama?" He whispered back on her neck as sniffed up those tears...

Both of them not ready to pull back...

"Illa po!" She pulled back and tried walking away before which he pulled her back by the wrist and hugged her again... bending down to lift her up...

A bit up as to make her comfortable to place her feet over his...

They stayed there for a while after which they pulled back...

Looking at each other...

He placed a tight kiss on her forehead as she smiled into it...

Peranbin satchiyagaaaaa♥️
