Enna Ponnu ya iva

What a girl, man?

Her wit, her boldness, her carefree attitude, I have never seen such a girl in my life. I have always been proud of my peripheral eyesight, but today for the first time in my life, I wished I never had it.

The way she was looking at me when I was presenting, God, I had a thousand rebirths. But something made me want to show myself better in front of her eyes. I gave my hundred percent and I never expected Dad to come forward and appreciate me.

Dharma mama has to always encourage me but Dad is someone who always notices the mistakes I make. He has always constructively criticized me for my works and tried to bring out the best in me.

Today, Dad walking upto to me, appreciating and embracing me with a bear hug was a joy beyond explanation. And this girl, Ashwika, who just met me this morning was immensely joyous seeing me being appreciated compared to others in the boardroom.

She was swaying and clapping hands with pure joy and I couldn't stop myself from sharing mine with her. I turn towards her and raise my hand to give her a HiFi. She takes a second to realise what I'm doing but immediately recovers from her shock and responds to me.

Everyone in the Boardroom is shocked but Samarth and Kavi handle the situation by Samarth giving me a hug and Kavi signalling Ashwika to leave with her

Everyone in the Boardroom is shocked but Samarth and Kavi handle the situation by Samarth giving me a hug and Kavi signalling Ashwika to leave with her. After Dad and Dharma mama also leaves the boardroom. I lean my both hands on the conference table and sigh heavily.

"En achu partner?" Samarth asks me what happened and I reply to him that I don't know, "Therila Partner". I see Ashwika talking with the lean guy. Her shoulders were slumped but suddenly raised upon something he had said.
