Author POV

The bustling sound from the kitchen made it evident for the people in the house that something big is prepared.

Binny Maa came to see her child preparing se thing so she asked, "Enna ma seire, veetu vediku podu ".

"Maa, iniku semifinals Ashwiney ekanave romba tensed aa irrupaaru aduku daan edavdu sweet seilaam paate puriya maatengudu enna seiya", she replied scratching her head and pouting.

Binni Maa just shook her head and muttered, 'mañasika mole', and slapped her shoulders and sidelined her to help her with a typical kerla dish Banana Halwa.

Shivangi took her mother's instructions and prepared it,then packed in two different container, her motter raised her eyebrow asking her 'why', to which she replied, "onu Ashwiney ku ennonu Anne'ngluku and Akka's ku".

Binny smiled fondly and patted her head asking her to get ready for the shoot.

Krishna Paa drive her to the location and both the father-daughter duo had gala time pulling each other leg and talunga bout random things.

While leaving he saw Ashwin came with a tensed face so de ided to have a chat with him, " Enna Ashwin romba tensed aa irrukinga polla".

Ashwin who didn't see him coming was startled first but composed himself and answered, " Aama uncle, semifinals vera konjam tension aa irrruku".

" Ashwin you have came so far inda show la just because of your skill, ada maadri idukum mella povinga paa, ipdi tensed aaningana epdi, relax and enjoy pannunga shoot la you will get through", he said and patted the shoulder.

Ashwin was feeling so overwhelmed by this, and hugged in tightly, the older man also patiently patted his back.

Both had some little talk and then left for their respective work. He was in his room with Rakshan and both were having talks about their career, life and what not, Rakshan was called so he left him.

Ashwin thought, 'enga vandudu la irrundu ellame nalladha daan nadakudu, oru recignization kedaikuthu for my talent and skill, enna ennaya accept panranga, iduku daan evlo naala wait panne, ippo vandu irruku, oru family ee inga kedaichi irruku, Shakila Ma, Rakshan, Pugal, Mani, Kani, chiefs, ellarume genuine aa ennakaga Happy aa feel panranga, idu laam nadakrathuku orey reason ennoda Doll, Chellama, Shivangi Maa, Rowdy Baby, enna ipdi maati vechi irruka, all in a good way, she deserves more, just inda show illa ipdiye chinna space la irruka kudadu she need to fly high aduku avloda wings daan open pannanum, epidu nadakumo teriyale but Kadavule ennaku help pannunga'.

His thoughts distirbed by spot boy asking for his presence to start the shoot. He made his way and saw everyone tensed just like him, he felt that together all the family is facing the same jitters.

All made their entry, and having the little talk about their journey till here, this made him little emotional but he maintained it nicely without showing much of a reaction in his face.

While pairing came and the told about the things all love in theatre, the smacks infront of him made him little confidence about what his Rowdy Baby will be.

Inside Bala asked, "Vaangi, enna da nenaikre yaaru edupanga".

"Anney ennaku terinji Avru daan edupaaru", Shivangi said and smiled at him.

{A/N,
I don't know eduku ippo inda note add panre but wanted share that while writing this particular part, ennaku Chellama smile panra vision vandudu specially 'smile' ezhudite ada paakum bodu Chellama face daan vandu vandu pochi, can't able to just suppress this strong thing,so just added }

"Yen maa, apidi solre unnaku teriyadu avru edu edupaaru aprom", Bala asked confused.

"Anney, avruku donuts pudikum, oru vaati show la solli irrukaru sweet naa romba pudikum nu, and namaku prop vandu donuts so chance neriya and enakum donuts na romba pudikum so iniku Kadavul Setting epudi pakalam Ney", she replied quietly and  both went inside the black room.

Ashwin was talking with Kani about the choice and pairing when he saw Master going towards donuts he was slightly nervous which Kami also observed and asked, " enna aachi Ashwin ungluku, eduku ippo nervous aavringa".

"Onnum illanga naa anda donut edukalam irrunde", Ashwin said in small voice which is audible to only her.

"Vidunga Ashwin yaaru vandalum paniduvinga illa",Kani asked worried.

"Adula onnum illa, seri vaanga pakalam Master enna panraru nu", he said calmly making the elder woman sigh and smile at him.

When both saw Thangagldurai comimg out, both happy as Pugal and him can't be pair of obvious reasons, and started enjoying their own inner happiness.

Kani nodded discreetly that she will take juice while Ashwin was happy that he got his favourite delicacy, he opened it to see his Gajini, he was pretty sure it's his Rowdy but didn't know the next person.

When she came, he was genuinely happy for that as today he will be able to give his full work. He was astonished when she recreated the famous scene from movie he thought, "enna da eva ipidi assalta pesitu pora, irru unna aproma vechikre".

When Bala came Ashwin was literally happy as it was their first pairing and he wanted him quite sometime.

These three had happiness on another level, together they started with the advantage only to get loose by a silly mistake dobe by Shivangi, she was really upset but kept brave and normal face even though deep inside ahe was crushing herself for the happening.

Again the main dish was also not in his liking, he never had seafood and that the task, he saw Shivangi, she became unexpectedly quite and praying for him, he knew that but didn't voice out.

With Bala's help and knowledge about Prawns made the process little easy, and whenever he got little low, she was right behind him to encourage him to give his best, at the end the three of them were able present their dish preety good.

There all stood holding their breath on who is going to enter the finale, but two souls was restless for eachother rather than themselves.

Ashwin was thinking, " Kadavule iniku epdina finals ku poganum ennakaga illa ennoda Papa kaaga, ava elanave romba bayandute irruka iduku mella edana aachi na ava azhudurva andd avlaye blame pannipa please paathukonga".

While on other side she thought," Kadavule unnoda setting kaatiru pa, evru ippo daan konja konjamaa avroda shell aa vitutu vararu, tiripiyum anda secluded, reserved nature la poga kudadu, naa avruku eppovume oru thollai aa irruka kudadu daan nenaichi irruke, aana inniku ennale daan avru advantage task jeikle, ennodaa silly mistake ku avruku eduku dandhanai".

The moment they called for Kani all were happy as everyone knows her helping nature and humble persona, they alll felt she deserved to be there, Shivangi came and hugged her while Ashwin saw her eyes she conveyed he too will be in the list.

When it was for second finalist Shivangi was keeping her hopes high, she waited for the name from Bhatt sir's mouth and the moment he said Ashwin name it was all together both were in different world, she was enjoying his victory while he felt like something precious had been achieved.

She jumped like a kid, and some tears of joy madee their way, she was standing beside her brothers who are congratulating him, once thhey did she went towards him just for a handshake but something from told her to hug him, so did she.

When asked how she felt, he reply made all go awe with her, " aiyooo, chief neenga vera, ethoda evroda ethavdu vaati pairing, enaku pudicha aalu finals ku poganum bodu ulla irrunde edo onnu".

All asked her too sing to which she sang ondra renda assaigal, but whenever she saw him he got it how much she wanted to express.

When the shoot got ended she just told everyone to be there, all were confused but stood there as they were asked and sitting in the Ashwin and Rakshan's room.

She came sprinting with her bag, she then told that she made Banana Halwa for all making all the mouth open wide.

"Papa, neeya seinje, enna adisiyam idu", Pugal exclaimed.

"Aama da Thangam eduku evlo kastam laa pathuthu", Rakshan also said making Kani and Shaki ma shake their head in exaggerated.

"Neenga ennada avlo innum chinna ponnu aa pakribga, ava kozhanda illa, idhulam iniku illa naliku kathu daane aganum, romba panringa rendu perum", shaki ma scolded both the overprotective brothers making others their laugh loud.

She gave to everyone but left Ashwin, Sharath saw that and was about say it loud when Pugal stamped his foot and Rakshan pinched his hand making him groan in pain.

All after the sweet went leaving the two behind, she closed the door and locked it, then came towards him and pushed him towards the small bed their, he smiled seeing her taking initiative.

He saw how she slowly came and massaged his head making him moan in pleasure, after sometime she went and came with a small box, making him arch his eyebrows.

He pulled her towards him thus making her landing on him, she yelped, "Ashwiney enna panringa".

He peppered small kisses on the shoulder and neck making her moan, " papa finals ku poitom, I am so happy aana nee daan enna seriya congratulate kuda panale".

Shivangi understood what he said but didn't able to utter a word because of his ministration, she still somehow managed to say, " ennanga anga camera irrundudu aduku aprom inga kuda ellarum irrundanga adanala".

"Ippo daan namba matum irrukome, nalla congratulate pannu di", he asked in his base voice and nibble her ear lobe.

She moaned louder at this, she slightly gathered her courage and pushed him and took the sweet box and came to him only to be pulled and be in the previous position.

He smiled seeing her taking extra effort for him, he felt blessed to have someone to pamper him like this, it's just so much soothing to his heart.

She happily fed him the sweet, and then kissed his cheeks before getting up and packed the things, suddenly she felt someone hugging her, she closed her eyes relishing the moment.

The subtle way of showing love and care are really precious gift one can give.
