Pyaar, Prema ..... Friendship?

🖤Chapter 30🖤

Ahana wakes to a very familiar heat and warmth around her hand and she groans as she blinks the tiredness and the sleep out of her eyes. The hand around her right tightens and her eyelids open, focusing on the ceiling above her before she turns to the source of the warmth, and her heart stutters. "Ashwin.....?" she croaks as she sees him sitting there, the evening sun shining behind him, bathing him in a soft glow, his face stuck to a soft smile and his thumb absentmindedly caressing the back of her hand. "Hey....how are you?" "Better....I guess, but weren't you not allowed to see me?" she asks, keeping the blow light with a smile and Ashwin huffs "Supposed to but I bulldozed my way, needed to see you ASAP, so......" he hangs his words with a shrug of his shoulder and Ahana laughs "Ever the stubborn Ashwin Kumar huh?" "For you? Always" he says, his eyes are soft and that breaks the damn in Ahana as her breaths starts hitching and her eyes water again, before she is enveloped into the arms that she's missed for a week, the same sandalwood musk surrounding her senses as she buries her face into Ashwin's neck, crying her heart out, from the relieve and happiness. Ashwin tightens his grip in one hand and runs his fingers through her hair using his other hand, his lips muttering soothing words into her ears. The duo stay like that for a while before he lays her back down on the bed and takes his seat on the side "Nee epdi irukke da?" "Oru varama guilt leye irunthu ipothan nimathiya irukken" "Naa onne rombe kashtapadathiten le? Me and my overreaction tendency" she says with a bitter huff and Ashwin groans "Ithu unnode thaapu ille ma, naathan yosikama panitten-" "But I could have been a little patient and understanding-" "Unnode situation le yaara irunthalum apdi than react panirupange ma-" "Irunthalum I'm your best friend, I should have been with you, not without you-" "Nee en kude iruntha inthe prechene innu perusa airukum-" "But-" her words are stopped by Ashwin's hand over her mouth, his tired smile ever prominent on his face.

They stare at each other for a little while before they burst out laughing, Ahana laying back down on the bed and sighing contently while Ashwin's hand is still holding hers in a gentle hold. "Sivaangi epdi irukka?" "Ava naala than irukka, yen?" "I want to talk to her..." she looks at him with her puppy eyes "Please?" and Ashwin grumbles as he takes his phone out of his pocket and FaceTimes Sivaangi. Ahana snatches his phone out of his hands and waits for the line to be connected and after exactly two rings, she answers, Sivaangi's face ever bright on the screen. "Akka! Epdi irukingge? Ashwin angeya irukaru? Neenge enge irukingge kaa?" Ahana laughs as she's bulldozed with question after question from the bubbly girl "Ma, ma iru ma" "Sorry kaa...ungele paathe excitement le..." "Paravale, paravale, to answer your questions, naa nala than irukken, ama unnode Ashwiney ingge than irukaru, naa ipo hospital leh irukken. Nee epdi irukke da?" and she smirks when she sees Sivaangi's cheeks redden when she said 'her Ashwiney' and keeps it in her mental note to tease Ashwin later "Naa rombe nala irukken kaa, akka Sing with Sivaangi nyabagam irukka?" "Ama da, yen?" "Ipo season two vanthuruchi kaa, nethu than shooting start anuchi" "Oh wow, naale visiyam than, apro movies ellam epdi poitu irukke?" "Athu ipothan oru alavuku start panikitu irukku kaa, still S.O.P follow panenum. Epoka hospital leh irunthu discharge?" "Ipothiki observation leh vechirukangge da, innu oru two three weeks I'll be discharged. Don't worry da ma, unnode Ashwiney moonu naalule, unkite batharema anupi vekiren" she teases and Sivaangi whines at the same time Ashwin groans into his palm. Ahana laughs as she enjoys seeing this blossoming love between two of the most purest souls that she's known throughout her life and career. "Cheri ma, naa yen call panne sonnena, unkite sorry kekuruthuku than" "Ade yen kaa?" "Ille terinjo teriyamalo neeyum inthe problem leh include ayite, so unneyum naa stress panirupen leh athan" "Ade po kaa, enneku ungele nenichithan kavaleya irunthuchi, athun Ashwin neenge hospital leh coma stage leh irukingge nu sonnaru, apo enneku apdiye freeze airuchi. Akka, neenge yen kaa sorry kekuringge? Naanum ungge yeduthule iruntha apdithan senjirupen, so no worries" Sivaangi says confidently and Ahana prays to God hard that moment, prays that this little innocent yet matured girl should have everything and anything she wants and for her to not have any difficulties in her life.
