Another call was made immediately after the Rowdy baby family ended theirs.

"Ennama ipdi kothu vuta?"

"Idhuku na karanam illa" (Same modulation as AK in ipdupu matter) "Ana Ashwineey, you are the best. Nalla samalicha."

"Vazhkaila first time unna Baby nu koopadlan nenachen. Inime thala gizha ninalum chancae illa. Un annan ala enna seiya mudiyumo nalla senjutan."

"Ashwineey ne kuptapo kulu kulu nu irunduchu. Apdiye kupden."

"Indha ranagalathu layum unaku oru giligilupu kekudhu. En neram."

"Adhan nee Ashwin the smart, Ashwin the intelligent ache. Samalichuta la. Aprom enna?"

"Ma en ma ipdi? I'm telling you Pugazh enna vechu seiya plan podran. He doesn't trust me around you. I mean he is not entirely wrong. I am taking advantage of the trust your parents have on me."

"Apdi lan illa. Na dhane sonen yaar kittayum solla vendam nu. You wanted to inform my parents the very next minute we got together. You are not taking advantage."

"Yeah right." He huffs but before Shivangi could say something he changes the topic. "We'll speak about this in person. Can I come before lunch? We can still spend some time that way."

"Ashwin nejama apdi lan illa. They won't think anything. I'm the one stopping you from telling anyone. If anything I'm taking advantage of the trust they have on me. Seri nalaiku nee varache pesalan. But trust me Ashwineey, you are not in the wrong."

"Seri vendam idha namba nerla pesardhu dhan correct a irukum. I'll come there around 10.30 11. Bye." He ends the call without waiting for a reply.

"I'm sorry Ashwineey. It's really not your fault. I am not confident enough to tell anyone. This is entirely on me. I'm sorry." She whispers once the call ends.

Soon after the call she receives a series of messages from Ashwineey.
"Sorry I cut the call like that. Just a little angry."
"Will speak properly tomorrow."
"Don't over think. We'll sort it out."
"I love you💜"

The messages helped cheer her up a little bit. She quickly replied a love you too and switched off her phone.

Even though he assured her things were ok and asked her not to overthink, she couldn't help but over think. Her sadness was clearly visible on her face. She sat silently in the hall and was watching tv.

"Are you ok?" K appa asks.

"Huh"

"Ena achu da? Yen ivalo sad a iruka? Are you not feeling well?" He asks her.

"Adhelan illa pa. I'm normal. Just tired." She replies giving him a half hearted smile.

Not convinced her mom probes further. "What did Pugazh want? Did he say something?"

"Anna lan onnum sollala. Rakshan anna and Sharath anna will be joining us tomorrow. Plan inga pakara maari mathitom." She informs her mom.

"Rakshan varan na nee.." Her father starts speaking but is cut off by her mom. She just shakes her head  showing him no.

Too immersed in her own thoughts Shivangi doesn't notice this. Soon she finishes her dinner and goes to her room.

Around 10 her phone buzzes. She picks up the call without seeing the name. "Hello."

"Ma enna achu?"

The minute she heard his voice she couldn't control herself and starts crying.

"Ma, Shivu why are you crying. Babe please don't cry." Ashwin pleads.

"I'm sorry. I messed things up. Now you are angry with me and won't speak to me. I never want to hurt you." She sniffs.

"Ma. Shivangi na eppo sonnen I won't speak with you. Didn't I just call you now? Nee indha maari edha yosipa nu soltu dhan I sent you the messages. Enada achu?"

She tries taking but due to crying nothing comes out.

"Deep breaths. Have some water. Na vena varata anga? I'll somehow enter the house. Nee ipdi azhudha enaku kai kal lan odadhu. Wait I'll come there."

"It's ok. I won't cry. I got scared. Nee I'm still angry nu potiya I got scared."

"Loosu dhan nee. I am angry adhukunu un kitta pesama irupena? Un kitta pesalena na yaar kitta pesuven? I have every right to fight with you ma. Nama enadhan periya sanda potalum nambaloda 10pm ritual seiyama thoonga matten. Idhu indha fight mattum illa. Future la vara ella fights kum dhan. Seriya? Ippo video call podu."

She humms in response. "Video vendam. Na azhudhu mookalan red ayidthu." She replies sniffing.

"Paravala. Nee podu. En Rudolf epdi iruku nu na pakaren." He chuckles.

She switches on the call to reveal red eyes and a face swollen from all the crying. His heart pained to see her like this but he smiled a bit seeing her ever radiant smile intact.

They start their 10pm ritual and Shivu drift off to sleep while still on call.

"I love you and sweet dreams." He whispers cutting the call before sleeping.
