The fresh air, the breezy wind that peekabooes their skin as they walked down the street...
Things were just so perfect...

"Sivaangi... ennakaga oru paatu paaden..." Ashwin insisted without looking at her but looking straight at the empty road that shouted JUST ME AND YOU...

When there was just silence for a long time... Ashwin bent down to look at her staring at him....

"Paatu..." Ashwin came near her as she felt his breath tickle her face...

'Ivaru eppodhume ipdi dhan irundhara... illa inniki ipdi irukara?' Sivaangi thought looking at the Ashwin who was once just a mama to her...

Sivaangi had always thought about this day...
The day when he would talk to her like this...
The day she yearned for...

She was that girl whose breath hitched with him just passing by her...
Or when he gave her a handshake to wish her on her birthday...
There was nothing more and she never wanted more...

But now... she was in his arms...
Safely being carried across her room...
And he wants her to sing?
Was it possible?
I mean was talking possible?

She jerked... when his steps became fast...
And that was when she realised that he was walking fast...

"Mazhai vara madhiri irukku... there seems to be shade there..." Ashwin said as he walked fast but stopped when he heard her...

Vizhiyae vizhiyae pesum vizhiyae
Oru paarvai paarthaai
Mazhaiyae mazhaiye nenjil mazhaiyae

Ashwin stopped on his tracks as his lips curled into an unknown smile...
A blush filled one? Maybe?

He stood there rooted as he heard her sing...

Thaniyae thaniyae vaazhdhen thaniye
Naan vandhen melae
Inimae inimae nee thaan thunaiyae

Ashwin looked down at her as their eyes met...
His face was adorned with a big huge smile...
That automatically brought up a big Huge smile on her face too...

She wiggled off his grip...
All of a sudden the tomboy inside her started to vanish while the girl inside her peeped out....

Her cheeks turned red at his mischievous but blushy too gaze as she turned to walk away...

"Vaanga polam..." she tried hopping away acting casual but he wasn't the same old 'boring mama' she knew...

Within seconds was her back in contact with his front and her right ear felt his stubble poke...

"Andha paatu.....yen?" He asked soft...

'GOSH THIS TONE... chumma pesnale inga bussu' she thought as she felt her body react immediately...

There were goosebumps all Over her body and sparkles of tingles passing here there...

'NAAN rowdy'

She turned herself to him making it yet more difficult for her....
As now her face was replacing her ear...
Wasn't even an inch...

'AYOO... Wrong decision.... just be brave' said her inner self as she looked up...

He, who expected this the least felt his breathe hitch...

She raised her eyebrows at him with glints of rowdism and mischief...

"Pa...paatu... yen?" Ashwin stammered as he now felt her on him...
No touches but the feel was real...
He could taste her breath...
Was that even possible?

They lost themselves into each other just by mere looks that rain was not a big deal to them...

Ashwin's eyes shifted on her lips that had drops of rain...

' you have no idea how much it takes for me to stop tasting you....' He thought...

'Chi... mora ponnu Na enna venalum yosipiya?' Said his other side...
His fingers weaved themselves under her wet hair that stuck on her face...
As he felt her shake...
Made him let out a proud smile... which got lost in the moment he felt himself getting lost...

"Saapda venama?" Ashwin gasped at her words as his eyes immediately looked up at her...

"Huhhhhh?" Ashwin's eyes went wide...

"Ice cream mama... sapda venama?" She said...

Was she really talking about the ice cream or...

His mind teased him as he rubbed his nape, being reminded of how his eyes captured her lips...

'Loose aagita Ashwin....' Ashwin thought as he pointed his right hand forward gesturing her to move as he walked behind her grinning like a maniac...

"Kannama ... unnaku enna flavour venum..." Ashwin asked as he had his eyes fixed at the variety of flavours that were in front of them...
Realising what he blurted... he bit his tongue scrunching his facial muscles in embarrassment...

"Raji akka correct ah dhan solirkaanga...." Sivaangi grinned as he turned to look at her...

Raji was their cousin who was the only one in their family who knew about Sivaangi's crush on Ashwin...
She was the secret spy who was close to the other male cousins...
They were ones who shared to Raji... everything and anything... Ashwin being the main big topic...

Raji found happiness in peeking into Sivaangi's room at the night to share these things with her...
And loved pulling her legs when either she didn't believe it or blushed believing it...
This was how even this came into her ears that Ashwin addressed her as Kannama to the boys...

"Chance eh illa Raji ka... Avarachu enna Kannama nu koopdradhachu... idha mattum naan nambaveeee maten..." was her reply...

Sivaangi's only and long time complaint on Ashwin was the was he called her by her name and how it felt too unconnected... made her feel like she was a stranger and here he stood calling her KANNAMA...

'KANNAMA... nalla irukke keka..." she thought as she looked at the big tall man blushing like a newbie...

"Enna mama ketta? Seriyaaa kekala..." Sivaangi took all the chance to pull his legs...

"Anna rendu butterscotch... oru chocolate..." Ashwin ordered without a second spare of look...

It wasn't new to her by now that he did know everything about her...

"Hey enga pora?" Ashwin asked looking at Sivaangi who walked to the road that was by then being drizzled upon with rain...

"Mazhaila nenailam... thappila Mama..." She smiled as she walked forward...

He followed her without another word with the smile on his lips that she just passed on...

"Aakitaaaaa...." Ashwin whispered with a smile...
Maybe a realisation...

He hopped a few steps to catch in pace with his Kannama...

The moment she saw his feet now imitating her steps made her grin as both walked looking on empty but cold road...

They walked in silence for while while having a taste of their ice creams...
Well that was just a reason...
The time was all crashed by what was called as teenage blushing...

She jerked when Ashwin nudged her hand a bit to grab her attention...
She turned to find him handing her an AirPod...
Without a word she took it and plugged it into her ear as he whispered...
"Indha paatu nalla irukkum... especially the lyrics..." as he played the paused the song...

He turned around and caught hold of her hand...
While his other hand went around her waist...
It was more like a ballroom dance position...

He moved his head close to her as they got drenched in the rain...

Vaa kaadhal seivom... poruthamaga...
Neengamal nirpom... virupamaga...

Sivaangi gasped in happiness as finally this man made her head what she wanted to hear...
What made it even more obvious was the hug he engulfed her into...

A hug where he bent to her height and pulled her up by the waist a bit...
His head placed happily in the crook of her neck...
As he whispered a "love you kannama...."

What followed was all a nee phase of love...
Just love...

The part that you all asked for🙈
Sorry if it wasn't up to the level...
Konjam moola back vaangiduchu...
Actually rombave moola back vaangiduchu...

How was it?????
