Seeing his coffee bubbling out of the pan, he switched it off and poured some for himself, and bee-lined to the living room. Still not able to figure out what just happened, he placed the hot coffee mug on the center table before him. 

Ashwin switched on the TV and there she was, singing on her talk show 'Sing with Sivaangi' which was now aired on Vijay TV.

After many successful episodes of SWS in one of the production house's YouTube channel, they decided to shift it to Vijay TV and rope in big stars for interviews like 'Coffee with DD'.

Sivaangi was wearing a beautiful lavender coloured, layered, flowy skirt and white crop top (blouse) which had purple embellishments here and there. She matched it with a lavender netted shawl with sparkly white stones spread across, that casually lay on her left shoulder. Her hair was well-groomed flowing down to her waist and she was sitting on a white couch opposite to her guests, looking like an angel personified. 

She was engrossed in the song that she was singing with her eyes closed. Only her voice with slight echo and subtle chords filled the air.

"Kannathil Muthathin Eeram Athu Kaayavillaiyae

Kangalil en intha Kanneer Athu Yaaraalae

Mannavane Un Vizhiyaal Pen Vizhiyai Moodu

Aatharavaay saaynthuvittaal Aariraro Paadu

Aariraro Ivar Yaar Evar

Bathil Solvaar Yaaro?"

( A slow, improvised version of the song "Enna satham indha neram" from the movie "Punnagai mannan"  that she had prepared)

There was a few seconds of breezy silence between the next line in which Mani and band created a stomach-stirring effect. A chill ran down Ashwin's spine. His hands were trembling and he was trying to hold the remote tight. There was a close-up shot of her fully immersed in the song like she meant those lines from the bottom of her heart.

After that crushing silence which felt like years for Ashwin, she completed the song by opening her eyes which were almost teared and trying to put a small smile on her lips, looking into the camera

"Enna satham indha neram uyirin oliyaa?

Enna satham indha neram nadhiyin oliyaa?"

Her eternal singing put the entire crowd on an emotional rollercoaster ride and made them give a standing ovation.

Ashwin's eyes were brimming with tears. It was as if she was questioning him eye to eye and he had no reply other than his tears.

Enna satham indha neram uyirin oliyaa? Was it really the sound of his life?

It was not the first time he is seeing her show on TV, of course. He usually switches channels to avoid the thoughts from his past filling his head.

But this did something to him, something unexpected, something out of reflex, something that was kept within for a long time.

Was it the song? Was it the lyrics? or Was it the timing and coincidence? Maybe it was because of the events that happened from the time he woke up. He couldn't react or change the channel.
