Pyaar, Prema ..... Friendship?

🖤Chapter 29🖤

Sivaangi is almost packing up from her 'Sing with Sivaangi' show when her phone rings. She looks up from her bag and walks over to the dressing table to see 'Ashwineyy' on the caller ID and she immediately answers the call. "Ashwin?" "Sivaangi ma" he answers and she could hear the watery sound of his voice and she starts to panic, worried that something bad has happened "Pa, yenna achi? Are you okay? Ahana akka yethachum sonagala? Yen?" she fires him with continuous questions "Ma, ma, relax, I'm fine, more than fine" he says and she immediately knows the underlined meaning of that and she sighs a big breath, sitting back down on the chair near her and leans back against it "Epdi ponnuchi hearing?" "Ellam nala pochi, konjum agreement sign panavendiyathu irunthuchi apro judge court order kuduthutaru" "Ahana akka?" "Ava condition onnum apdithan iruka, Sebastian text pani sonaru, so athu varuthama irunthalum, now I'm just happy to be free, like extremely free" he says and Sivaangi giggles a little "Oru one week unge whole life eh vere maathiri thane irunthuchi?" "Yeah, aana anthe one week epdi ponuchi ne terle, problem mele problem, appa amma kite kude naa seriya pesele" "Yen pa?" "Problem start panapo avunge mele kovathule call panle, aana ipo yepdi naa munji kuduthu pesuven?" "Aiyo pa, they're your parents, avunge yetho oru thinking le apdi panitange neeyum kovathule apdi pesitange, nee thairiyama poi pesu, avunge santhosham paduvange" "Hmm, cheri nambe meet panlama?" "Yenge?" "Uhh, ennode oru friend uh restaurant vechirukan Chennai le, naa avankite oru private dining book panni, nambe meet panlam, aana ma" "Yes pa" "Naa pononuye, nee vanthurathe, konjum neram kalichi vaa, yenna this is extremely fresh, I don't want another whirlwind" "You don't worry pa, naa pathukuren. Pa?" "Sollu ma" "What are we?" she asks and hears him halt a little.

 Ashwin was shocked at the question "Yenna ma solre?" "Ille pa, ithu varaikum ungelukku oru prechene irunthichi naa onnume sollule, ipo ellam mudinjiruchi, what happens to us? Cause even if we meet, it's like we're having a secret affair meeting and....and I'm not comfortable with that" "I know ma but ipothan divorce documents ellam media ke poiruke, it will take time to circulate, and Ahana vere-" "When will I come first?" "Huh?" Ashwin is stunned at her outburst "When will I come first? Problem irukumbothu you prioritised akka cheri, ipeyuma? You want to meet me but you will make it as if you're meeting your mistress-" "Che mistress? Nee apdithan unne paakiriya? Do you even understand me? Ipothan oru pothe kuli le irunthu naa veliye varen, I don't have the strength to go into another one. Athu varaikum we have to meet like this" "Aana I don't want it! Ahana akka kude friends ah irukumbothu evelo rumours vanthurukum? Apo matum akka ve kutikitu velila ellam poningge? Apo ungelluku okay va? Ipo matum naa ketta, mudiyathu, Ahana akka serious ah irukangge, konjum time pootum nu excuses solikitu irukingge? Why this double standard? Why?!" "Because I don't want media to portray you as a mistress, my mistress!" he shouts and Sivaangi quiets "Ahana yen friend than but engelkulle onnume ille romantic ah. But you're my girlfriend, my life, someone that I want to get married and see the future with, and the last thing I want is the media to portray you as a mistress. So athuvaraikum we have to meet like this, but unneku uncomfortable ah iruntha then it's okay" he says and sighs leaning back against the sofa cushion "Sorry Ashwineyy" Sivaangi apologises and Ashwin huffs, his lips stretching into a small smile "Paravale ma, naanum un yeduthule iruntha apdithan nenichirupen, but just remember I love you. Ennaku nee chinuthu Ahana perusu nu ellam ille, you both are important to me and I'll do my level best to protect the both of you, even with my life" "Hmm, cheri enna panringe?" "Ipothan hearing mudinji ennode KD girlfriend eh samathanam panitu rest edukuren. Neenge enna panringe madam?" "Phone leh Korea drama pathukitu irukken Ashwineyy, naala irukku, neengalum paarunge" she convinces him cutely and Ashwin laughs.

"Avan solre onnume puriyathu, apediye vaaya polunthukitu paake solriya, po ma nee vere" "Ade po Ashwineyy, nee seriyana boring. Ama palaya aalu na apdithane irukum" she mock sighs and Ashwin gapes offendedly "Eh kedi, inthe palaya aalethan neenge love panringe, athe maranthurathe" "Epdi marapen Ashwiney, ipdi bore ah irunthe, how can I forget you? Sollunge, che" "Venam, soliten apro neethan varuthe paduve" "Apdi yenathan seivinge?" "Unmaiyave solunuma? Ille...." he reduces his voice into a husky baritone "...senji kaatuta?" he asks and Sivaangi's cheeks redden to a blush. She puts her phone away from her ears and looks at herself as she sees her milky complexion redden near her cheeks and her nose, her mind conjuring up various inappropriate scenarios and she shakes herself, an unknown sensation zipping through out her body. She clears her throat and then keeps her phone back near to her ears, hearing the smug laughter from the other side "Ashwiney" "Ashwiney, yenna ma? Blush panriya?" he asks and her cheeks redden so much, they might as well resemble a tomato and she whines "Pothum Ashwiney, teriyama ketuten" "Hmm, anthe bayam irukatum. Ah, ma solle maranthuten naaliki morning naa US kelemberen, Ahana ve paakerutuke, varathuku oru three days avum, you okay?" "Pa, nee poitu va pa, Ahana akka ve keetutha sollu" she says and hears him hum "Cheri ma, nee un veleye mudi, apro night meet panlam, love you, bye" "Love you pa, bye" she ends the call and feels butterflies in her stomach as he ends the call with those three sacred words.
