Unaware of any warning, she ran and jumped on him giving a bone crushing hug making him surprise and her friend gasp. He moved back due to the force of her hug but reciprocated the hug with a smile showing his missings. After a while he felt wet on his shoulder and pulled back to see her teary face.

Ak : Ma, azhuriya??

Sk : I missed you!!

He wiped her tears and kissed her forehead muttering "Love you Angel".

Karthika had a wierd look on her face seeing sivaangi who was grinning like an idiot facing the road. She nudged and shook her bringing her friend back from the trance.

Kar : Nadu road laye pakal kanava di?

Sivaangi jerked and looked here and there to realise it was just a dream. Her face fell in disappointment and karthika saw her with a teasing smile.

Kar : One week ah madam seri illaye.... ore blushings and smilings ah irukke.... Ennadi love la maatikicha?? Need any love tips??

Sk : Ei summa iru di... apdi onnu illa....

She said hiding her blushy cheeks making karthika chuckle.

Kar : Mm.. Hmm... athaan moonjiyile theriyudhe....
Maatikichu aadu sweet edu kondaadu...
Mandabatha thedu sweet edu kondaadu...

Ennadi anna kitta madabatha theda sollata??

Sk : Karuuu!!

She whined blushing while Karthika continued her teasing section.

●●●●

The next day, sivaangi was in a deep thought sitting on the bench situated on their college ground. Meanwhile Karthika was engrossed in playing makeover game in her mobile.

Sivaangi's thought was filled with his memories. She remembered their moments starting from their first meet to the last meet. She smiled in a dreamy world but soon frowned when her eyes flashed the scene where she pecks his lips.

Sk(mv) : Why did I kiss him?? Na en anaikku apdi behave panne.... I have not yet confessed my feelings to him... Avaru enna pathi enna nenachirupaaru... Will he judge my charecter?? Oruvela athunaala dha avaru enna call pannama iruko??

Her insecure question were enough to make her mood off. She collapsed her heart and mind at a time and let out a deep breathe shooking her head.

Kar : Sivuuu... intha makeover paaru di alaga illa??

Karthika nudged her arms but sivaangi seems to be busy with her thoughts.

Kar : Hlo madam, unakku kanavu romba jaasthi aagikittu varudhu.... gavanika vendiya time vandhichu....

Karthika said and sivaangi remained silent. She sighed and closed her phone moving close to sivaangi.

Kar : Ennadi aachu unakku... You seems to be lost... Veetla edhaadhu problem ah??

She nodded a no.

Kar : Then, Ashwin ah??

She nodded positively making karthika smile.

Kar : Sivu unmaya sollu di, unakku Ashwin anna mela feelings irukku dhana??

An automatic smile formed on her lips hearing his name.

Sk : Feelings elaam illa di... but a soft corner and attraction.... First time avara paakumbodhu I felt like normal, infact I felt anger seeing his flirty face (she said chuckling) Aana anaikku avaru en veetla vanthadhadhukku aprom I am completely changed... Avaru kitta manasa vittu pesumbodhu oru relaxing feeling irunthichu...

Anaikku I saw a different Ashwin... Appo la irunthu I am attracted to him... Sila time la avara pathi nenaikumbodhu I feel emotional... Avaru eppovum en kooda iruntha nalla irukkum nu thonum.... Even I started to like his flirty dialogues... unakku onnu theriyuma only he and his name can make me blush profusely...

But ithuku artham love ah nu enakku theriyala karuuu!! How can someone fall in love in a short period of time... I don't believe that.

Kar : Your thought is stupid di... Love vara ivlo time venum, ivlo months venum, ivlo years venum nu entha dictionary lum sonnadhu kedayadhu... It can feel just in seconds... Love at first sight pathi elaam nee ketadhu illaya??Love is pure and beautiful, especially in between  couples...

Nee sonnen la, only his name and him can make you blush nu.... Unakku avan mela feelings ilamaya nee ipdi elaam behave pandren.... nalla yosichu paaru di... Un heart kitta nee ketu paaru, ennoda soulmate Ashwin ah nu.... Kandipa your heart will say a big YES...

Karthika completed and sivaangi chuckled with a blush.

Kar : Unwanted thoughts ah avoid pannitu idha pathi yosi!!

At Night, as usual sivaangi was having her dinner with her family. Leela nudged RaviKumar's arms eying at sivaangi and he cleared his throat before initiating a conversation with Sivaangi.

Ravi : Sivaangi...

Sivaangi saw him surprised and hummed in response.

Ravi : Un studies complete aaga innum konjam naal dhana irukku....

Sk : Aama pa, innum three months la complete aaidum... En pa keten??

Ravi : Naanga unakku oru proposal paathu vechirukken sivaangi.... intha maari oru proposal unoda kanavula kooda nenachu paaka mudiyaadhu.... So better ithukku nee ok sollidu.... No dowry or money.... Antha paiyyanukku unna mattum podhum.... Athu mattum ilaama avan unna santhoshama paathupa....

Her face changed immediately hearing his words and she lowered her lead showing least interest to this proposal.

Sk : Enakku ippo kalyanam edhum vena pa.. na padikanum.... Music is my passion, adha enakku acheive pannanum.... I need to settle in my life first appa.... Plz pa enna compel panaadheenga....

Leela : Ennadi over ah pesure.... Periya passion.... theruvula irunthu vandhavalukelaam passion aam.... Idha paaru olunga intha kalyanathukku ok sollidu, illa unna enga irunthu kootitu vandhiyo angaye kondu poyi vitruve....

Nee valandhadhe enga seruppu kku keela dha, enga kaasu la dha ippovum maadu maari thinnu paduthitirukke, apdi patta unakku naanga oru nalla proposal kondu vantha,ipdi thimura pesuviya nee.. Ithelaam nalladhukku illa sivaangi solliten paathuko...

Leela roared and sivaangi's lips trembled with blurry eyes. The thing Leela said was right, she is living in their house under their mercy so she has the right to obey them. This was the thought which suddenly came in her mind.

Sk : Enakku konjam time venum pa...

She managed to spoke controlling her tears.

Ravi : Evlo naal...

Sk : Three months....

Leela : Athela-

Ravi immediately clutched her palms indicating her to stop and turned towards sivaangi.

Ravi : 3 months kulla mudiva solliduviya...

He asked and she nodded blankly. Leela sighed at him and followed sivaangi who left the dining table incompleting her breakfast.

Leela : Sivaangi... nillu...

Sivaangi paused her steps and saw her mother who was looking at her with bloodshot eyes. Sivaangi wiped her tears in a swift while leela furiously walked towards her in rage.

Leela : Un mudivu ennava irukkum nu enakku theriyum di....

Leela said smirking and sivaangi lowered her eyelids letting her tears to fall.

Leela : Mudivu edukuradhukku munnadi chinna oru warning tharen.... intha proposal ah mattum nee reject panne, aprom nee intha veetlaye irukaadhu di pichaikaari....

She said and squeezed her wrist hard making her hiss in pain.

Leela : Nee epdi ponaalum engalkku entha prechanayum illa.... Aana, intha proposal nadaka vendiyadhu enga avasiyam.... athula nee thadayittenu veiyyy...

She said in a warning tone and sivaangi couldn't tolerate her words.

Sk : Na epdi ponaalum ungalkku ethum illanu soneenga la, appo ethukku intha proposal nalladhu nu solli en thalaila katti veika paakureenga....

She asked earning some courage and that was enough for leela. A tight slap landed on her cheek which echoed the corridor. Sivaangi cupped her cheeks hissing and shedded silent tears.

Leela : Indha maari ethirthu pesura vela elaam en kitta vechukaadha.... kondruven unna...

She left the place and sivaangi rushed to her room crying. She shut the door and jumped on the bed crying hard. She yearned for a shoulder to,vent out her emotions and worries.

It was Darshan who console and stand for her when his parents hurt her. But this time she felt lonely inside the four walls and she cried thinking her fate. Soon she slept without her knowledge.

After an hour, her phone beeped breaking her sleep. Her face lit up for a sec seeing HIS phone call. Wiping her dry tears and sitting straight on the bed she answered the call.

Ak : Oii innum madam thoongalaya??

Sk : unaala dha thookathula irunthu ezhundhiriche.... Ippo ethukku call panne....

He found her usual chirpy voice is missing and confused.

Ak : Athelaam nerla solren... un balcony door open pannu....

Sk : Edheyy!!

Her eyes popped out socket and she immediately rushed towards her balcony and opened the door to notice him standing there with a wide grin.

Sk : Ash-

She couldn't complete as he engulfed her into a bone crushing hug. For minute she forgot her worries and pain in his embrace and snuggled more into his chest reciprocating the hug.

How is it??

Sorry for less ashaangi moments...

Ready for some beautiful ashaangi moments in the next chapter.
