Author POV

Believe in oneself is called confidence but believing in others is called trust, one can easily build confidence but building trust takes time and effort.

After the kiss, both felt content, but the moment got disturbed by his phone. He saw it was from Pugal so picked it up while hugging his doll close and asked, " sollu machaan enna aichi ".

"Maaplae, 30 min daan irruku break ku, neeyum papa vum innum sapdliya adudan call panne, venna naa ungloda saapdu angaye vandu kudka sollava", said Pugal as he knew his sister will crib in few minutes if she was not fed.

Ashwin knew if they will go now his doll will again think of those so he thought of having dinner in the room itself and said the same to his Machaan.

" Shivu maa, avanga sonnanga nu yen nee react panre vidu, avangaluku teriyum so chumma camera kaga solli irrupanga, neriya overthink paanada, okay va, and naamba kuda irrukum bodu konjam nambla pati yosiklame ", said Ashwin both confronting and at the same time to divert her mind.

"Nambla pati daan eppovume yosikrenge, neenga please kova padadinga anga shoot la, naa paaten epdi neenga upset aa irrundinga konjam pathu ma ", she advised him.

After general talks both resumed the shoot, Now it was to choose one of the suvai from aru suvai, he was first scared if he will be able to get the dish as he had planned.

Inside once Mani and Pugal chose Kasapu and Pullipu , he was feeling a little good. He for sure knew his doll will choose Super Singer as it holds a major part in her life, in between when Bhatt sir asked what he wants, he said sweet, and next moment as he predicted, she picked the Super Singer and got Sweet, he was so happy. Shivangi also felt happy that she got something useful for him and recollected how he said she is his lucky charm.

As per the advantage task, Master changed Ashwin's sweet basket to Kani's thuvarpu basket. Ashwin was upset at first but thought to give his best, in between his guardian angel stepped up and supported him, but things went overboard when Bala unknowingly hurt her with his counters and topped to that all cornered his doll, know he can't stand still so gave an open statement, "inda dish Shivangi daan seivya, naa todha kuda maaten, naa seiya veppa".

On the Master table both looked perplexed at what happened, Bala asked if he went overboard only to get a nod and Master told him how much Ashwin cares for her and his experience in the Mohiniaatam episode, both decided to apologize and talk with them in the break.

Shivangi knew how much he respected her and even though she asked him to control his anger back sometimes, she felt immense happiness that he stood for her and vowed inside what may come, she would always be there for him no matter what may come and go.

Once the camera was not in their side she indicated cameramen to not get them to focus for some time to which they nodded. She came close to him and whispered, "Ashwiney yen ipdi open challenge la kudkringa, ungluku teriyum illa ennaku idulaam nalla teriyadu, immunity week vera ma na panni edavdu aadichi na".

He first got startled by her close gesture, then looked at the camera only to see it's off focus and got its all his doll doings, "Chellama, adulaam onum illa, iniki eduku ellarum unaye corner panranga mudiyale maa ennale paaka, ellathukum oru limit irruku first la naa vitute but idu overa pochi, nee eduvum en kitta oessade ida pati ippo", he voiced out his thoughts which came little harsh but was needed, she had to know people can't take her for granted just because she open and friendly.

Shivangi also kept mum on this topic but just informed him she will give him all the support needed, which made him happy, and now he was determined to get the band not for him but for her.

The hindrance was back to back challenge, in the whole set, only one soul who was happy was his doll, he smiled seeing her enthusiasm, and made a devilish plan of doing this type of cooking in their home as well.

Through the cooking time, Mani and Pavi were having their fun but here Pugal was having difficulty with his Shaki Amma.

In between Mani and Pavi were having a little but fun so Pavi told what will happen if Pugal gets married, they both knew she was referring to each other but Mani wanted to tease Pugal so diverted it to him, " Pugal, Pavi solra unaku kalyanam nadakum, kandipa nadakum aana", and laughed as usual Pugal came with the reply and said," Kalyanathuku aprom Pavi nee samikre, naa un kaila samikre", making Pavi blush but she hid it very well.

"Aduku avru purushan kochika maataru", replied Mani making Pavi laugh out loud.

Here Pugal asked his sister to help him as he knew she was tensed and needs little relaxation but that doll was already going so much in her mind so just asked Mani, "Yen Mani Akka".

Mani also knew she was not her usual self, so she also decided to give his sister's thoughts little break from cooking and said, " Nee kuda Ashwin Kalyanathuku piragu ipdilam seiya kudadu".

Here Ashwin listened to all their little banter and laughed inside but when Mani told his doll about his marriage, he gulped how to make his fiery angry bird calm as when it comes to them, she most of the time gets insecure and her overthinking fails even NASA rocket science.

"Maa, anda suniyam bomma solrathu kekade avanga edo solranga vidu ma, unnake daan teriyum illa avanga shoot ku munadi daan pathanga nambla so chill, chumma unna usupe eti vidranga, naa break la pathukre", assured Ashwin to his doll when camera was not in their focus.

At last, they have to smoke the skewers, but due to the mismatch of the plate the smoke was going out, his doll came with one of the great ideas according to her to hold it, he so wanted to say so much but just asked if she can do, and she completed her action while he thought,'enna seira, ava pudichalum seri avlo smoke daan teva but evlo cute aa vandu sonna naa ade pudichikava, aiyooo apdiye katti pudichi thukalama thonude, aana semma pa iva sonna avlala mudinja support pannuva nu enaku teriyum ava seiva nu aduku idu verlu pova nu teriyadu, na romba lucky ava enoda life la irrukurathuku, ippo kuda paaru epdi pudichi irruka anda cloche, aiyoo eppo paathalum edana onu seinji enna sorrika vekra terinji teriyamalo', which got interrupted by Bhatt sir.

At the end when both presented their final dish which was Chicken Roulade and got excellent comments, she knew it was going to be him and at that moment she wanted to make his first victory in immunity more special so she sang his favorite and personal song kanna vesi , the reaction he gave made her heart swell, and he to started sing with her but on the specific line he chokes out and abruptly stopped.

Once the shooting has done all were sitting in the shoot and were having a gala time and suddenly Pugal said remembering Mani's atrocities in the shoot, " yei Mani annadi sonna shoot nadulae".

"ennada sonne", she back answered even though she knew who h part she is taking, all others who were present didn't know what was going on so kept quiet and three more people who know were having their own plans on punishing Mani for her this deed.

" Anda kalyanam patti ", replied Pugal whole taking Pavi on his side, Ashwin as well held Rowdy's hand discreetly.

"Eii chumma oru flow la vandudichi da onum illa, anna aduku Pavi oda reaction paakanume evlo sorocha ava kita Kelly", Mani answered in her usual manner.

" Pinna enna Mani Akka, nanum oru nimusham Pugal oda reaction yosiche adu daan sirichen, avru vandu ennaya nadakudu inga nu oru reaction kudutu irruparu adu nenaiche siriche", Pavi replied and again started laughing, all laughed out on her explanation. Pugal also felt happy in how much she thought of him every single time.

Shivangi was again gone case, she can't able to control her body movement while laughing, she moved to and fro and landing on Ashwin shoulder, he was more than happy but controlled him and helped her to overcome her burst of laughter.

" Aama inda Pavi kuda okay daan aana Shivangi unoda reaction daan di epitome", said Mani to tease her.

"Ponga Mani Akka, neenga vera", replied Shivangi but didn't say her real reason.

" Epdi neenga unga sonniyum vekrathu correcta vekringa Mani, enaku puriyale", said Ashwin getting all the attention of people there.

"You, Mr.Ashwin enna solringa, naa enna seinja ungluku", replied a stunned Mani.

" Neenga daan Master kitta ungluku enakum basket maata soninga nu pakle nenaichingala", he said diverting the situation all together, Pugal and Rakshan also got the hint and supported him thus the whole situation turned more exciting and humor funny.

Master and Bala also apologize for the things, as everyone says she is devakozhandai,  she easily forgave them, same was with Ashwin as he knew they did it in the heat of the moment.

Pugal wanted to spend some time with Pavi so he asked if Ashwin will drop Shivangi home to who h the concerned person happily agreed.

On the way both talked about various things, it was mostly Ashwin telling her about his childhood atrocities and her relating it to hers.

"Madam adu laam irrukatom neenga kanna vesi yen paadninga sollunga", asked Ashwin and stopped his car in front of an ice-cream parlor and went to get them their favorite blackcurrant.

He returned and started the car, once they reached a lone street he stopped the car and gave her the ice cream, both started having it and he again asked her the same question.

"Yen Ashwiney naa nalla padliya", asked his doll in confusion.

" Maa, nee super aa padne eppovum polla, naa kekrathu inda song yen choose pane", he said.

" Ennaku teriyum ungluku inda short film evlo pudikum nu, adanala daan Punith Amma kitte kete ida padava nu", she replied, and then immersed in savoring her ice cream. After seeing him not eating, she forwarded her ice cream to him to take a bite, which he gladly accepts and later fed her from his.

He was looking at her with all the love he has for her, he was getting emotional on how she always cared for him before herself. He didn't know what posed him, he just wanted her beside him and did exactly when he saw she completed her ice cream he pulled her on his lap and kissed hard without giving a second to process what happened.

She was totally stunned by this action, in one second she was praising her ice cream and another second she is kissing him practically it was him but she was trying to cope up with his speed.

After the break, he said, " innime namba ice-cream sendu sapda kudadu ma, adu unaku daan problem aaga podu, epdi enna control panren ennaku dan teriyum, Chellam" while creasing her cheeks making her travel to another world.

Their sweet moment got disturbed by his mobile ringing, it was from a production house for another musical album, he talked with them for a short time and hanged up, turned to see his doll almost on the verge of sleeping. He moved her hair from the face and started the car in the same position, he was smiling the whole time and continued kissing her head from time to time, once reached he picked her up in a bridal way and made his way towards her home. He was welcomed by a half sleepy Vinay, he shook his head and went further to her room, and laid her there and came down to see his Machaan already passed out on the sofa, he took him and settled in his room and came out to see Binni Maa, there with a glass of milk and smiled at him. He took it, drank it in a go and gave a quick update on the shoot, and started for his home.
