Ashwin checked the list again....

Siddhu: Enna Na? Okay VA?
A: umm.... Adhu idhuuu endha Sivaangi?

A: Dei.... Romba pesadha....

A: I don't think this will work out....
S: Anna yen Na? Sivaangi is now highly requested.... Avanga paadna I think this song will be a super hit one....
A: Venam da....
S:(shuts the laptop) illa Na.... Ippo Ungaluku enna dhan prechana? Innum two days la song submit pannanum.... Ella singers ayum venam solreenga.... We have literally talked to every single female singer out there.... Idhuku apro Ennaku yaarayum theriyadhu.... And naan Sivaangi ah already vara solliten....

S: naan yen Na mudivu panna koodadhu.... Unga kitta list ah kuduthu choose panna sonna panna maatreenga.... Atleast neengalachu suggest pannunga na adhuvum panna maatreenga.... Anga producers en mandaya la uruturanga.....

There is complete silence for straight two minutes when Siddhu notices the tear filled eyes of Ashwin....

S: Anna yen Na azhareenga?
Ashwin simply nods his head sideways as he fiddles with toy car kept on the table.....
Siddhu leans front and makes his position stiff before placing his hands on his to show his concern....
S: Anna.... Enna Na aachu?

A: 4 years aachu da.... Avala paathu.... Avaloda pesi.... Avaloda kurala kettu.... Ellame naan panna antha oru chinna thappala....
Avala naan endha moonji ah vechikittu face pannuven?
How will I ever be able to even look at her without guilt?
Idhunalayeee work irukku... shoot irukku... busy... Coimbatore poren nu solli solli avoid panen....JUST BECAUSE I COULD NOT FRICKIN FACE HER....

They are disturbed by the shutting of the door....
Ashwin wipes the tears and looks at the equally confused Siddhu....

A: Yaaru da Vandha?
S: therila Na....
A: Sivaangi eppo Varadha irundhuchu?
S: oru 10 mins la....
A: shit!!!!
He pushes the chair behind and runs to the door.... The corridor seemed to be empty as they were the only people active in the building.... But he knew where she was with the tapping of her heels....
He ran to the direction of the sound to find her fading shadow....

Sivaangi stops to the voice she yearned to hear for 4 long years....
But her ego stopped her from turning around....

A: Sivaangi ma... please nillu....I know... naan Unna rombaveee... Rombaveee kashta paduthiruken....but there is a reason behind this....

Sivaangi turned around to find Ashwin letting out tears just like her.....
She stood there without uttering her word and her eyes not meeting his.....Her hands crossed across her chest....

A:(lets out a loud and long held breath) anniki naan pannathu Romba thappu.... Ennaku theriyum nee evlo aasaiyaaa irundhurpaaaa Andha project kaaga....in fact naan Unna vida excited ah irundhen....But I couldn't let you do this project even after knowing that you were there only for promotion....

S: why do you care sooo much about my decisions?

Ashwin felt goosebumps.... The voice.... Her voice that he wanted to hear for years.... He wanted to smile but the question....
He looked up at her eyes.... The eyes that looked at him after a long time....

S: what am I to you???? Why would you care for me?????

A: Enna kelvi ma Idhu?

S: kelvi kekadheenga Ashwin.... I think this is one valid question....

A: how is this a valid question.... You know what is between us....

S: exactly.... What is between us? Well wishers, friends adhellam okay.... But even if you saw me as a friend... ungalala naan yen pesalanu kooda purinjika mudiyadhaaaa Enna?

A: (stands there with a questioning expression).

S: you still think I'm going to fuss on a topic which was long forgotten? Do you think I will ponder on something which was obvious???? Ennaku Neenga ennakaga panradhu nalladhukaga nu koodava purinjika mudiyadhuuu???? Is that how much you trusted me......

The moment he heard her voice crack.... That was it for him to breakdown....He stood there with tears wetting his cheeks....

S: Neenga mattum Enna unmayaveeee oru "friend"ah pathirndheengana you would have talked to me.... Indha mathiri reason sollitu irundhurka maatenga?
Evlo naal wait pannen theriyuma Ashwin? Evlo naal? Neenga varuveenga.... Pesuveenga.... We can talk like usual....I was genuinely okay with you having work, you being busy.... But knowing that this was all a lie....
Do you even call this friendship?
A: NO I CALL THIS LOVE.....

Sivaangi stood there, her tears drying up by the immense shock she had got....her eyes which stared at the bit so interesting patterns of the floor no looked at him.... His eyes were enough to convey the truth that was there in his words....

S: Huh?

A: yes.... I was and am in love with you....
Naan pannadhu nalla vidhama panlenu Ennaku theriyum.... Adha face panna Ennaku dhairyam  Andha samaiyathula illa.... I'm sorry if I hurt you... but the reason behind what was BETWEEN US.... Was my Love for you....

He turned to leave when his wrist was pulled back.... His face lit up with a smile and his tears were now of happiness.... But he didn't want to show it out though he knew the consequences.....

He finds Siddhu... walking to the door to close it before showing a thumbs up....

She walked in front of him dragging him along....a casual walk as if nothing happened....

A:(walking behind her) ma Enga pora?
S: recording....
A: endha recording?
S: Namma paatu....
A:Namma... paatuuuu? Adhu Innum 1 hour irrukeeee....
S: Ashwineyyyyy.... Neenga yen ivlo irresponsible ah irukeenga? Naama seekrama mudichaaaa dhane, beach ku poi ice cream saapda mudiyum.....
A: beach ah? Naama yen beach ku ponum?
S:(she stops and turns to look at him) love panradhukuuuu munnadi than kootitu pola.... Ippo naama lovers.... Full permission granted....

Ashwin looked at her with wide eyes and a laugh accompanied by tears....
She ran and hugged him....then broke the hug walking back in the direction of the studio....

S: vareengalaaaaa? Illa....
A:(chuckles scratching his brows) varen varen!!!!!

How was it???????????
