Paal?"
(Milk?)
"Eduthachu."
(Took it.)
"Paper towels?"
"Done."
"Ice cream?"
"Ennathu?" Ashwin turned to her, "Ice cream ah??"
(What? Ice cream?)
Sivaangi grinned, "Please Ashwineyy, romba naal aachu."
(Please Ashwineyy. It's been forever.)
"Ma, pona varam than saptom. Unnaku two days concert vera iruku, voice poiduchuna?"
(We had it last week. Don't you have a concert in 2 days? What if your voice goes out?)
Sivaangi pouted and was about to reply when a voice came behind her, "Excuse me?". She turned around and saw a man in his early 30's.
"Neenga Sivaangi thana?"
(Are you Sivaangi?)
Sivaangi nodded brightly, wondering if he was a fan. The guy looked at Ashwin, "Ashwin ah neenga?"
(And you're Ashwin?)
Ashwin nodded and gave him a smile, and the guy said excitedly, "I'm a big fan of you, Sivaangi."
She smiled widely, "Appadiya? Thank you."
(Really? Thank you.)
"Aama unga paatu na usuru. Unga padam la fdfs la papen."
(Yeah, I love your songs. I never miss any of your movies.)
Sivaangi's heart warmed, "Aiyoo, so sweet thank you," and folded her hands together as a symbol of gratitude.
The man chuckled and said, "Naa unga mela paithyama irunthen. Fan page kam vechuirnthen."
(I was crazy about you. I had a fanpage.)
Sivaangi grinned, and Ashwin raised an eyebrow at her. The man continued,
"Unga Mela periya crush irunthuchu. Neenga rendu perum kalaynam panikitinga nu ketatha ku aparam semma down aaiten," he said, clearly reminiscing.
(I had a huge crush on you. When you two for married, I was so down.)
Sivaangi laughed, "Appadiya? Ennaku ipadi fans irupanga naa yosichu paakala."
(Really? I never thought I had such fans.)
Ashwin cleared his throat loudly, and put a protective arm around Sivaangi's shoulders. The man nodded fervently,
"Aiyo, unga mela evalo per paithyama irunthanganu theriyathu. Unga cuteness and voice mela avalo craze."
(So many people had a crush on you. People wdfe crazy about your voice and cuteness.)
Sivaangi bounced at the compliment and Ashwin stared at the both of them. The man finally turned to him and said,
"Ungalado padam romba pudikum bro."
(I really like your films as well.)
Ashwin smiled at him and said, "Thank you."
"Oru photo edukalama?"
(Can we take a picture?)
Sivaangi nodded, "Kandipa."
(Of course.)
She hurried out of Ashwin's arms and stood behind the man, as he clicked a selfie. The man shook her hand and turned to Ashwin and shook his as well.
"Chellama va nalla pathukonga bro," he said.
(Take care of our Chellama.)
Ashwin blinked as he walked away and Sivaangi smiled widely. She jumped towards him and said,
"Semma sweet la?"
(So sweet right?)
Ashwin nodded, he loved seeing her get all of the affection and love she deserved. But he had grown to become slightly possessive of her as well. But he couldn't blame them, she was irresistible.
"Ennaku ivalo fanboys irupangani yosichu kooda paakala."
(I never thought I had so much fanboys.)
Ashwin shook his head, "Aiyo, avanga pandra attagasam iruke. Enna vechu senjutanga."
(You don't know their antics. They had a lot of fun teasing me.)
Sivaangi giggled, "Paravala, antha bayathula thaane en kitya love ah soninga?"
(That's okay, you asked me out because you were scared they'll sweep me away right?)
Ashwin narrowed his eyes at him, "Kalli."
Sivaangi leaned on the refrigerator, "Intha kalli ku ice cream vaangi kodipingala?"
(Can you buy this Kalli some ice cream?)
Ashwin sighed and Sivaangi said, "Hello. Neenga no soninga na, naa en fanboys army ah erapen."
(Hello, if you say no, I'll bring out my army of fanboys.)
Ashwin laughed at her threat, "Appo? Naa paathuthu summa irupena?"
(And? Do you think I won't do anything?)
Sivaangi smiled, "Enna panuvinga?"
(What will you do?)
Ashwin looked at her and said, "Nee en pondati ma. Unna eppadi flat akkanum nu ennaku theriyatha?"
(You're my wife. I know how to melt you.)
"Oh? Enna theriyum?"
(Oh? What is it?)
Ashwin raised an eyebrow and looked around, "Inga arambikatha, aparam varutha paduva."
(Don't start here, you'll regret it.)
Sivaangi huffed dismissively, "Enna pandiaporinga."
(What will you do?)
Ashwin looked around and found that the aisle was mostly empty. He hooked an arm around her waist and pulled her in close. Sivaangi's eyes widened, "Ashwin!! Enna panringa? Vidunga, yaarachum paaka poranga."
(Ashwin! What are you doing. Let go. Someone will see.)
"Paakatum. Naa en pondati an katipudikaren."
(So? Let them see. I'm hugging my wife.)
Sivaangi giggled, "Seri, puriyathu. Othukaren. Ippo vidunga."
(Okay, fine. I agree. Now let go of me.)
Ashwin smirked before letting her go and he asked, "Ice cream venuma illa..?"
(Do you want ice cream or…?)
Sivaangi blushed red and she said, "Aiyoo inimel naa ice cream eh keka maten."
(Oh god, I'll never ask for ice cream again.)
