The Boundless Bond

Part 29

All of them left the airport after bidding goodbye, Ashwin & Ashima headed towards resort.

Ashima: thank you!!!

Ashwin: thanks a? edhuku?

Ashima: for saving me from Vinay, God knows what would have happened otherwise

Ashwin: (laughed), Romeo would have tried his best, right?

Ashima: yea right (rolled her eyes), why do you even call him as Romeo, ugh

Ashwin: well, if he could go around wooing so many girls at a time, what else am I supposed to call him as? Anyways, edhuku thanks lam, not like I did all of this for a thanks?

Ashima: yea but I would have been stuck with him over here, spoiling the whole vacation plan and I'll end up regretting

Ashwin: well...you won't be regretting it now, right?

Ashima: phewww, yes! So glad that he went off without causing any troubles

Ashwin: noooo, it's not him, he's off and can we just forget about him

Ashima: then?

Ashwin: Ille, err, since I'm here, you wouldn't be regretting, adha dhan mean pannen

Ashima: (rolled her eyes), evlo aasai

Ashwin: idhelam aasai ae ille, it's the truth

Ashima: ok, let it be then. I still can't believe you flew all the way just to come & spend time, you're still crazy!

Ashwin: of course, and we know I'm not the one to be blamed for. Unna yaaru thirupi India ku vara sonna? And we had to meet again after all these years only to realize we still do have feelings for each other? Don't you think all these are trying to convey a message to us?

Ashima: hmmm, maybe

Ashwin: you can't run long from hiding your feelings, abby. Unaku venumna nee hide panra maari irukalam but it's so evident

Ashima: Shebaa. We'll talk about this, ok?

Ashwin: and can we do that as the first thing once we get to resort? I don't want to be cracking my head thinking what's going to happen. That would make me not enjoy the stay here

Ashima: I had the same plan too!

Ashwin: great minds always think alike, apdi dhana?

Ashima: 🤦‍♀️, didn't mama, athai & Shweta ask where you're going? And it was a sudden plan vera

Ashwin: Idhula enna iruku? Shweta & Amma knows where I'm coming here, ivlo yen, athai (Ashima's mum) kum teriyume

Ashima: ennadhu? Amma knows it?! She didn't utter a word to me about this, enna vela pantu irukanganu teriyuma nu kuda therle

Ashwin: eyyyy, don't say anything about athai

Ashima: ivlo paasam irundhurundha, poi athai kudaye time spend panirka vendi dhane

Ashwin: ille, athai kuda time spend panradha vida, avunga ponnu kuda irukardhu sounded like a wise idea

Ashima: (shook her head), didn't athai say anything?

Ashwin: nope, she was happy! She said she's seeing the old, jovial me. Appa ku teriyuma nu therle but I guess he seems to be fine with it

Ashima: (M/V: can never know, he might give me a call randomly and then, that's it) ohh

Ashwin: why?

Ashima: nothing, I just hope your relationship with mama stays the same

Ashwin: it will, just quit worrying. It's been long abby, don't you think he could have changed? In fact, you're the one who said this to me, why can't you believe it the same way when it comes to us? Back then he was afraid of us not concentrating on our lives, he could have thought we were too young to fall in love. But now things have changed, he has seen it for himself, he knows we both are doing well and know how to take care of our lives

Ashima: I get that, but, what if things don't go well, again? Do we have the strength to go through another heartbreak and tough times? And how much that would affect us both..all these thoughts

Ashwin: I'm quite confident it's not going to be the same as before. Even if it is, I would go through it, for you.

Ashima: hmmm, okay, let's not spoil our mood by talking about it now. We'll come back to it later, ok?

They reached the resort which Ashima had booked and checked in.
