     Sivaangi felt like she had a weight over her head and couldn't open her eyes. Her body ached and she felt chills around her body. She slowly opened her eyes only to see her mom sitting beside her with a glass in her hands.

Sk: ma enna aachu
Binni ma: unaku fever ah iruku da bayapudatha amma kooda thaan iruken
Sk: time ena ma
Binni ma: 7.00 thaan aaguthu ne inum konja neram thoongu
Hearing the time sk jerked up only to be hit with a terrible head pain
Binni ma: paathu ma enna aachu
Sk: Ashwin ah meet panradha sollirundhen, paavam wait pannirupaaru
Binni ma smiled and spoke: ashwin inga thaan half an hour ah irukaan, ne thoonguren uh unna disturb pannala, keela Vinayak kooda irukaan
Sk smiled and just knowing about his presence brought peace to her mind.
Binni ma noted the change in her expression and said: na avana vara solren, ne intha kashayatha kudichiru
She kept the glass in her table and left the room.
Sk suddenly took her phone opened her front cam and corrected her hair. Her eyes were swollen and her cheeks and nose were red. She was no where near looking good and she also found this new consciousness wierd. Na ipdi laa pannadheillaye, kadavuley enaku enna aachu, she wondered to herself when she heard her door creak open.

Ashwin was listening to vinayak about his new clg stories and was teasing him with the female attention he was receiving. The boys convo was interrupted when binni ma came and said that sivaangi is awake and that she is asking for me.
The door was slightly open and I peeked in 1st, only to see my rowdy trying to correct her hair. I laughed to myself, feeling happy that she was conscious about these things with me. It brought in a whole lot of different feel and I slowly opened the door.

I entered and saw my rowdy leaning against her bed frame looking flushed and tired. It broke my heart to see her like this as I was only used to her non stop banters and bickering. I sat opposite to her and she gave me a weak smile.

Sk: sorry ma, romba neram wait pannirupila
Ak: athella ila, unaku ipo epdi iruku
Sk: tired ah thaan iruku, ipo ne vanteela I'll become better
She said flashing a big smile
Shaking my head I took the glass from her table and gave it to her.
Ak: itha kudicha inum better ah feel pannuva
She gave me a pout and I was controlling myself too much to not fall for that face. She understood that pout was not working for me this time and drank it in a gulp. She gave the Expression she did while having pavakka juice and I squinted my eyes feeling sorry for her. I gave her the diary milk silk I got for her, seeing that she cheered up in a minute and took it from my hands.

Ak: apram yaaro enna romba miss pannaga pola
Sk: aama pugazh anna unta pesnum nu sonnaru
I gave her a playful glare
Ak: oh appo na poi pugazh ah paakren
Saying that I got up. I felt her holding my hands and pulling me to sit down.
Sk: chumma sonnen ma odane kelambiruviye, ne therinjikite ketta athaan velaadnen
She said breaking a bar of her chocolate and feeding me.
Sk: ennamo na matum thaan miss panna maari scene podavediyathu
She complained
Ak: vera yaru
I said chewing the chocolate
Sk: ashwineyy ne sonna thaan theriyuma indha moonji ye paathe kandupidichuduven, ne othuklanaalum enaku theriyum sir enna miss panningannu
I bent my head down laughing and nodding agreeing to what she said. This playful flirting has always been our thing and i loved pulling her legs and teasing her.
I slowly took my hands and caressed her hair, she closed her eyes and I felt her body relaxing to my touch.
Sk: onnu illa ma fever thaana sari aairum
Sha said reading my concerned expression

Sivaangi felt her headache settling down the minute he touched her hair. His touch was so pure and delicate and not knowing whether it was ri8 or wrong but she needed this, not just now but forever. The second she felt his hands being taken back she held them
Sk: inum konja neram, thala vazhi ku nallarukku
She said not letting him take his hands away
Ak was taken back at first and then gently nodded and continued caressing her head.
Sk: yen ashwiney unaku epayachu ipdiye irunthuralaamnu thonirka
Ak was confused by her sudden question, it's not every day his rowdy talks seriously
Ak: en ma kekra
Sk: enaku ipo thonuthu
She said them as they were the most normal thing to say while my heart skipped a beat. I gave her time for her to say something funny but all he could see was sincerity in her eyes with a wary smile. Only this women could make a 5'11 giant like me to be coy and I could only manage to return a smile.
And that was the moment they both realised whatever they share was not going to be the same.

Sivaangi slowly brought my hands to her lap and held them, this is not the 1st time but her touch felt different, her soft skin against my rough ones were making me tingle and her eyes were looking at me in the most loving way. She opened her mouth to speak but stopped when she heard someone enter the room. I suddenly got up and stood beside her bed. We both turned to see a doctor of middle age enter with binni ma and vinayak
Dr: sivaangi how are you ma
Sk: I'm fine aunty neenga
Dr: good good
She checked her for a while and turned towards me and vinayak.
Dr: injection podanum pa, rendu perum veliya irunga
We both nodded and I left the room giving my rowdy an assuring smile, god knows how much she hates needles.

I was sitting restless thinking about what just happened. I remember her saying things like this playfully and after laughing them off to ease the situation but this time she sounded so sure and heartfelt. And instead of laughing or saying some other funny comment like she usually does, this time the look she gave me was soo deep and devoted as if she wanted to know how I would react.
I shook my thoughts as I heard dr coming out talking with binni ma
Dr: injection potathuku nalla thookam varum, ethachu lit ah saapda vachu thoonga vidunga. 2, 3 days bed rest edutha sari aaiduva
Binni ma just nodded to her and left with her to send her off.
I decided I would leave and let her rest.
I entered and there she looked already dozed off fighting to keep her eyes open.
Ak: ma ne rest edu ma, injection pottathuku nalla thoongu
Sk: na unkitta onu....
Ak: ethuva irundhalum odambu sari aanathum pesalaam
Sk: apram ne marudiyum busy aairva
Ak: 3 days unna dr rest edukka sollirkaanga, 3 days kalichu namma kandippa meet panlaam
She dint look satisfied but she nodded slowly
Sk: promise
She reached out her hands, I gave a gentle smile and held her hands
Ak: promise
I said and left bidding bye to binni ma and vinayak. All the way back I couldn't help but feel content, whatever mi8 be the shift in our relationship I was sure about one thing, I liked whatever that came behind!.
