Unakulle En Thedal - Heaven Sent 💫

Part 4

While Ashwin was busy with his meeting, Meyshna was spending time with her mother-in-law (Sumathi) and Abinaya (Ashwin's sister, who's also Meyshna's best friend). After his meeting, Ashwin came out to have his breakfast.

Sumathi: vera edhadhu meeting iruka or just one?

Ashwin: just one ma, why?

Sumathi: illa, vela vela nu irukama you'll have to start spending time for family, unakunu oru family iruku ippo

Ashwin: haan seri ma

Abinaya: aama engayadhu velila poitu vanga, enna newlyweds oh rendu perum, adhu seri rendu introverts um epdiyum perusa pesitalum

Meyshna looked at Abinaya thinking what's the necessity for it. Ashwin remained silent.

Sumathi: adhu solradhum correct dhana, velila poitu vanga

Ashwin silently nodded his head, looked at Meyshna who's already staring at Abinaya. Abinaya pretended like nothing happened and followed with her mum to the kitchen.

Ashwin: hey..poganumnu avasiyam illa, edhadhu solli samalichadalam..

Meyshna: illa paravala, we can go out

Though Ashwin was taken aback seeing Meyshna agreeing for it, he felt happy as she's trying her best to get along with everyone, including himself.

Ashwin: any specific place in your mind?

Meyshna: no, I don't mind anywhere

Ashwin: ICC, Amethyst café, bessy beach?

Meyshna: Amethyst Cafe?

Ashwin: done, angaye polam

About 5'ish in the evening, they went to Amethyst Café, a place where couples tend to go for a date and these two went in as strangers.

After ordering something for themselves, there was an awkward silence, both not knowing what to speak or how to start a conversation. After some time, Meyshna initiated the conversation.

Meyshna: sorry for the silence..takes some time for me to open up

Ashwin: that's fine adhan nethe solitane neenga time eduthukonga, edhayum forced a panadhinganu

Meyshna: Abi sonnanu soninga nethu, but irundhalum I should speak about it..

Ashwin: only if you want to and not for any sake

Meyshna: ya ya, enaku thonuna nala dhan solren

Ashwin: appo seri, go ahead

Meyshna: Abi would have told about Rahul and his demise that has affected all of us..right?

Ashwin: ya, sonna about the 4 of you, since last time kuda I know about you all but kandipa losing someone close hits different, Abi ae normal avaradhuku romba time aachu, and solirka that you're closer to Rahul than the rest nu

Meyshna: hmm

Meyshna's voice was getting shaky.

Ashwin: hey..it's ok, paravala, nenga first normal aavunga apram kooda pesalam

Meyshna: illa illa, I'm fine

Ashwin poured water in her glass and passed it to her.

Meyshna: thanks..it's true, it affected me the most, he was on call with me when all those happened, reckless driving naala ipdi aachu, naanum avan kuda appo pesitu irundhurka kudadhu, I still blame myself everyday, terinjo teriyamalo I'm one of the reason, that thought haunts me

Ashwin was shocked with what Meyshna is saying, his face reaction was very obvious and Meyshna was wondering why he is shocked.

Meyshna: abi sollalaya?

Ashwin: illaye, she didn't tell about this..I'm sorry you had to go through such a trauma and even going through it now..
