"Illa d... I don't want to come over to that stupid class.... Antha aalu enna thittiyeee saavadipparu..." Sivaangi Said as she saw the others walk off to the Physical Training class...

"Sivu... edho pudhu sir ah... avaruku dhan retirement kedachiduchu la... let's go have a look..." Sitara said as she pulled Sivaangi by the hand to get her off the bench...

"Unnaku enna dhan d prechana? College la PT nu onnu irukuradheee adhisayam...Vandhu oru thadava attend panni paathaaa dhan enna?
From the day this year started oru naal andha hall epdi irukum aachu paathiyaaaa?
Somberi...." Sitara complained...

"Adhu somberi illa Tara... it's called budhisalithanam...." Sivaangi does her signature "hehehe" as she leans back on her bench to show her swag off....

"Nee mattum Ippo varala.... Idhodaaa Namma friendship cuttu..." Sitara warned as she tried walking away...

Sivaangi whined at her stubborn friend as she got up and jogged behind her...

"Idhellam too much Tara...." Sivaangi whined walking behind the victorious Tara chuckling at the kid beside her.....

"Indha sir mattum enna yenna thittamayaaa irupaaru.... Ivarum Ellaru polam dhan iruka poraru..." Sivaangi said as they entered the PT hall....

They saw this tall, well built, muscular figure of the guy who looked like their PT teacher...

"Ivaru dhan pola... Ayooo late vera... Ellam unnala dhan Sivu...." Tara complained at the pouting Sivaangi...

"Enna pannuavan? Minji minji pona court ah suthi oda solvan... paathukalam VA Tara...."
She said as she proudly marched to the teacher....

He was standing in such a way... showing his back to the ladies as he talked to the other professor...

"Sir?" Sivaangi voiced out with both the ladies having their head lowered to show their sorry...

She saw the foot turning towards them as she felt his eyes on them...

"Sit ups... push ups... run around the ground... skipping.. idhu enna venalum panrom sir... For your apology..." Sivaangi heard Tara blabber...

"Manda screw loose aagiduchaaa unnaku?" Sivaangi glared at her sideways as she saw Tara gulp...

"Go start your warm up..." They heard the voice...
That VOICE was enough for them... actually Her to look up at the owner...
And there she stood rooted to the ground looking at the tall... fit, Hot man...

Who she thought was literally the most handsome man she met till date...

His wet hair, sweaty singlet.... That made him look extra hot...
His Muscles and triceps...

If she didn't have Tara beside her.... She would have fallen weak on her knees...

"VA d..." Tara pulled her but all she did was resist her pull as her eyes got each and every sight of him with a wide grin...

"Punishment illayaaaaa?" Sivaangi asked once she shook the wild thoughts away...

"Sorry?" He replied looking down at her...

"Illa sir we were late.... The teachers usually punish us if we do that..." Sivaangi said to be interrupted by him...

"You can call me Coach and punishment is not necessary..." he said as he smiled at her and walked with them to the main area...

"Ippo ivaru siricharu dhaneeee? PT teachers siripangalaaaa?" Sivaangi thought out loud before being almost hit by a ball...
Which she caught in time....

She turned around when they were called to assemble...

"Okay... I'm your Coach.. Ashwinkumar... Since this is my first day... you can actually enjoy yourselves and play any game you wish to for this session..." Ashwin said with a smile to which all "yaayeeeed"
While there stood this girl stuck with his name...

"Ashwinkumar... adhavadhu short a koopta Ashwin... ila ila... Ashwiney... better..." She played around modifying his name...Which was pretty much heard by him as he chuckled...

————————

"Enna d? Koopdamayere kelamburaaaa?" Tara asked looking at the perfectly ready Sivaangi standing beside her...

"PT velayadanumlaaaa..." Sivaangi chirped as she walked well paced across the corridor to reach the stadium...

The days went by with her just sighting this PT coach...
He would at times catch her but she, being the rowdy she is would turn things up and cover it up with her extremely brilliant doubts....

—————-

"Okay... class disperse... you guys can go back to your lectures..." Ashwin said as the students left the room...

"Sivaangi...." She heard her name being called up...

"Pochu... naan dhan sonen la avara apdi vecha kannu vaanga ma paakathanu... nee inniki gayaaaa dhan..." Tara whispered as she went out leaving Just Sivaangi and Ashwin in the room...

"Coach ?" Sivaangi tried to behave normal as she hopped to him with her usual chripiness...

"Ennachu Coach?" Sivaangi looked at the silently staring Ashwin standing in front of her...

"Exactly... ennachu?" Ashwin asked back in one of those sternly hot tones of his....

"Puriyala...." Sivaangi catching the reason feigned innocence...

"Puriyala?" Ashwin asked back... his eyes now straight at hers...

"Coach... enna neenga? Naan solradhayeee thirupi Thirupi solreengaaaa?" Sivaangi voiced back at the poker faced hunk in front of her...

"Naanum Adhan solren Ms. Sivaangi... I don't think I would have to repeat myself again...
Through your growing feelings into the garbage and start focusing...." Ashwin snapped with a glare as he walked past her....

"Enna feelings?"Sivaangi followed him behind trying to catch up with him...

"You know it and I said I don't have to repeat..."

"But you never told anything to be repeated at the first place COACH..." Sivaangi stressed on the coach...

Ashwin stopped on his tracks and turned...

"See... your in a phase of life where you easily get attracted...
Idha infatuation nu kooda sollalam...
So indha crush feelings lam..." He tried speaking but all she could observe was his freakingly fast wandering eyes that never took a chance to look into hers...

His feet that almost moved a place per second...

"Infactuation na? Puriyala ennaku..." Sivaangi bit the insides of her cheeks as he asked him innocently...
He turned his head towards her softly, but their eyes never met...
He didn't want them to meet...maybe?

"It is the state of being carried away by an unreasoned passion, usually towards another person for whom one has developed strong romantic feelings."

"Neenga PT Coach dhane?" Sivaangi asked as she breathed out loud at his no stop explanation...

"Non sense and I'm leaving...." He said moving away....

"Coach coach coach..." she stopped him and that was finally when the 5'11 guy looked into her eyes that always focused on his...

"Naan neenga en crush nu sollavee illayeeee..."

Ashwin was confused to whether to be relieved by her words or to ponder on them...
He felt happy and sad...
He felt relieved yet pressured...

"Oh... illayaaaa?" Okay then you may..." Ashwin started to be stopped back again...

"Coach... irunga.... Crush illa... but love...."
Sivaangi looked at him with mischievousness ON HER EYES....

"Love? What? Bullshit.... Class ku po...." Ashwin said which did sound stern enough to have frightened any kid but her?

She blushed when she saw this guy with his chest going up and down of his heavy breathing....

Did my words really affect him?

That moment when she realised that after her words neither did he look at her nor try to speak....

She smiled as she walked past him while she felt his eyes follow her....
She stopped and felt his eyes turn away as she took a few steps back....

"Unaguluku enna pudikala?
Pudikum...
Pudichiruku...." she said smiling or grinning at the now nervous or shaken Ashwin...

Does her words have the power to pull the well built strength from a man in just seconds....

He felt weak...
He felt dizzy....
Her words....

"Puriyala...." Ashwin said as he tried to prove her that he had the power to talk looking into her eyes....

"Puriyala?" Sivaangi asked tip toeing to reach his height....

Ashwin leaned back to maintain the same distance....

"Puriyum...." She pulled back and hopped away leaving a flabbergasted Ashwin...

————————————

"Ashwin.... We would like you personally train Sivaangi...
She will be taking part in the state level basketball competition and we want her to win...
She is the only one representing our college...." The head professor said as he patted Ashwin's shoulders to which Ashwin nodded....

"Enna Ashwiney? Purinjicha?" Sivaangi hopped in front of him to find him glaring at her...

"Coach... coach... coach purinjichikangaaalaaa coach?" Sivaangi asked chuckling at her own joke....

"Personal training...
Namma rendu peru mattum...." Sivaangi said with her voice all chirpy but cute....

"After college.. stadium...." Ashwin said walking away....

But Sivaangi felt happy of her victory... The way she heard his raspy voice made her want to chuckle at his cuteness but remained calm...

———————————

He went through her Profile of history of her attributes and that was when he heard...

"Bye Sivaangi..."

His eyes immediately turned towards the direction to find no one in particular...

"Naan inga iruken Coachey...." Sivaangi poked on his  well built arms that peeked was out of his rolled up sleeves...

That was maybe the shorted breath he ever took...
His eyes which met hers for a second or less turned back to his file as he said....

"Shoes potuko... warm up start pannu...."

But he frowned when she giggled...

"Enna?" He asked as she laughed now holding onto his arms...

"Shoes podamaaa yaarachuuu varuvaangalaaa coach?"

He felt stupid... he felt dumb....

"Okay... start your warm up... 20 rounds around the ground and dribbles...." Ashwin said as he looked straight and walked away...

"Rombathaaannn...." She frowned as she started what was said...

But her female insides be it her feelings or hormones rose high when she once caught him taking glances of her in a way not to be caught....
Was he really doing that?

"done" she jumped in front of him as he jerked...

He nodded before which he stood up and trained her for the contest...

Was he impressed? Was he?

Training's went by and he was soooo much taken aback by the fast learner she was...

And finally it came to their last training...

"Okay... kelambu... meet you next class...." Ashwin said as he took hold of his sling bag...

Her eyes went moist as she walked to him...

His eyes, when they met hers made him go blank...
The eyes that became so emotional all of a sudden...

"Tell me that you hate me... please" She said as she without a second spare of sight walked away making him stand there confused....

He after having settled all the college formalities got on  his bike to ride back home...
That was when the unexpected rains had to shower...

He pulled over and stood under the shelter providing a cover Over his head when he saw another person there too...

"Sivaangi?" He called out soft enough...
She collected her bag and walked out of the shelter without turning back...

"Hey... enga poraaaa?" Ashwin walked behind her to pull her back in....

She tried wiggling herself off his grip but failed terribly as he pulled her wrist in a way to make her turn towards him...

Maybe that was a wrong decision to do so as he found her in the most terrible state one could find someone in...
She looked exhausted ...
Mentally and physically...
Her eyes held no emotions and he knew she had cried but why?

"Ma... Did you cry?" Ashwin asked as he looked at her... still maintaining the distance needed...

Maybe that was a wrong question too as he saw her lips tremble...
Cold?
Or tears?

"Sir... Can you let me go... Please...." Sivaangi said looking down as tried loosening her hands from his now tight grip...

"Wait... but you can't go NOW...
Like you.... You'll get wet..." Ashwin said trying to stop her with the concern that developed on her all of a sudden...

"Ennachu ma?" Ashwin asked lowering his head down to the level to match his eyes with hers...

Ashwin sighed on getting zero response from her when he finally tried getting his guards off... to a limit....
He moved closer before he held her cheek with his palm... pulling it up to make her look...

"Nee yen ipdi panra? Yen?" Ashwin asked as she looked at him...

Sivaangi understood but didn't on what this guy tries to put forward...
Her eyes understood it as they watered while her heart didn't want to...

He slowly caressed her cheeks... if that was the only thing he could do to shut her up...

"You are soooo talented...aprom Yen idhellam?"
His lips were speaking emotions... uttering feelings...

"Cuz I love you.... Idhu dhan... Idhunalaaa dhan... nothing more... nothing less" Sivaangi said as she pulled herself off him...

"Adhu en fiancé... she stopped the wedding" Ashwin said which made her stop...

"Ungaluku?" She turned around in shock to look at him...

"I told her that I was in love with a gold medalist...." He said smiling...

"Nee Manushaneee illa...." She said turning around and walking away with tears...

But soon stopped to turn back again...

"Puriyala...." She said...

"Puriyala?" He asked...

"Ennaku unmayaaaa puriyalaaaa..." She replied...

"Puriyum...." He smiled as he turned to find the rain had stopped...

He took his bag and walked to his bike...

Just to be captured into a hug from the back...

He smiled...
She smiled...

He teared...
She teared...

He chuckled...
She chuckled....

"Puriyalaya?" He asked looking down at her hands that hugged her from behind...

"I love you..." she muttered as she kissed his back...
He chuckled earning a smack...

"Sollu thirupi...." She pinched his waist making him Yelp....

"Love you... Aah... Love you maaaa" he shouted which soon turned into a happy laugh....
