Pugazh walks towards his gang and looks back at Shivangi who skips her way to Ashwin. His friends look at him with a questioning glance. Why is Shivangi going towards him?

"Macha, papa yen anga pora. Pasika pogudhu da." Sharath asks.

"Dei ava poi Ashwin a kootu varalan. Papaku avana nala theriyum pola. Poi koopta dhan varuvan. Koocham padran apdi nu soltu kootu vara poita." He replies.

"Nala aal dhan da. Win pana oven la yenkita koduthutaru. Naa kooda attitude katraru nu nenachen. Bayam and tension dhan da. Rakshan yen kitta sonnan Ashwin seekram pesa mattan nu." Sharath adds and indicates at the duo.

They could see Ashwin sitting with his earphones on and eating alone. His face visibly brightens when he sees Shivangi walking towards him. Shivangi promptly removes his earphones and pockets his phone. The brothers look at each other shocked. If there was one thing Shivu never did was touch others things without permission. She was against it. She always asks if she could touch them. She even asks her Pugazh anna permission before touching his phone. This act shocks them.

"Enna da, papa avan kitta ipdi nadandukudu." Mani exclaims shocked.

Before they could recover from that shock they are faced with another. She pulls Ashwin, grabs his plate and walks towards the gang. Ashwin with no option follows her rubbing the back of his neck.

"Papa, epdi da vandaru. Enna sonna?" Sharath asks. "Unmaya sonnen." She jokes and takes her plate from Pugazh to start eating.

The comali gang look at each other wondering wtf transpired.

"Shivu nee epdi Ashwin meet pana?" Bala asks her breaking the silence.

"Na avan short film la padnen ney. Anga Rio anna irundhara adhunala amma appa shooting paka allow pananga. That day he didn't have a scene but was there so we started talking." She narrates between bites.

"Actually, Rio had told me his sister will be visiting and I thought why not be there on set. I have always liked going to shoot when I didn't have anything to do. It's stress free." Ashwin adds. "Actually the song was added as an after thought after listening to her sing on sets. We had initially just planned for bgm. Director fell in love with her voice he added the song." Ashwin informs them.

"Ashwineey. Apdilan onnum illa. He is exaggerating." She blushes.

"Ashwineey vaa. Idu enna pudusa?" Pugazh asks.

She just shrugs her shoulders while Ashwin looks at her and smiles shaking his head.

"First day ve matika porom." Ashwin whispers.

"Seri. Na konjam gavanichu pesare." She whispers back.

"Yaaru nee?" He chuckles out loud earning glances from the rest there.

They continue talking through dinner. Ashwin speaks here and there slowly getting comfortable around them.

"Shivu, I'll come with you. I'm tired to ride my bike back home. When is appa coming?" Pugazh asks.

"Anytime now ney. Amma happy ayiduvanga." Just as she is speaking her phone pings informing that her dad has arrived. She excuses herself to gather her things and Ashwin also says it's getting late and he leaves the dinning hall.

"Dei enamo iruku da. Shivu edhadu solra lan nu pakaren. Yen kitta ilenalum appa amma kitta pesuva." Pugazh announces.

"Macha, edhu nalum nee tension agadha. Namba alvala papanu solrom ana ava romba thelivu. TV ivana enaku pidikum apdinu solla enna dhairiyam venum. Ava solirkana yoschirpa. Ena analum pathukalam." Sharath reassures Pugazh. "Na edhukum Ashwin epdi nu Rakshan ta kekaren."

While her brothers are seriously discussing about her actions our Shivu is skipping to her room holding her Ashwineey's hand and laughing about something he said.

Hi all, wanna say a few things before I start.
First, thank you all for so much love. Your votes and comments mean a lot.

Second, I saw a few comments on the way Shivangi addresses Ashwin. I have a particular slang and typing without it popping out has been difficult. I also think Avar and things like that sound too formal to call your partner. So bear with me while I continue with the way I write.

Third, this week has been the worst for me personally. I have lost family like many due to covid and feel devastated. I will try to update as much as I can but juggling between my college work and mental health has been difficult this week. I hope to update atleast once in 2 days.

Fourth, this story is set in a covid free universe or atleast a universe where covid eneded in August or September of 2020.

Finally, pleaee continue voting and commenting. They are whay encourage me to write more.

Thank you
