CHAPTER 13

Shivanya marched towards the window, trying to capture the beautiful city view. Looking for a good angle, she held her phone as if it was a gun and walked on tip toes

Or she thought

Ashwin heard footsteps, he immediately walked out from his cabin, following the sound of footstep.

There he found the bite sized girl who has been troubling his mind quite often , standing by the window trying to do something with her phone in a very weird posture. He tapped on her shoulder.

"aaah", Shivanya screamed and jerked when she felt hands on her shoulder. She thought everyone left. She then sigh in relief when she saw Ashwin.

"Hey hey hey, nandhan nandhan, nee inum inga yenna panra?" Ashwin asked calming her down.

"Adhu mala konjam slow annona polam nu wait panren. Rain'la drive panna safe illala, adhan." Shivanya answered as Ashwin nodded. "Neengalum adhan wait panringala?"

Ashwin just nodded. But the truth is they both didn't feel like going home today, out of all days, today.
They were actually thinking about each other as time went by, it started to rain more heavily and got them bump onto each other.

"Adhu seri but Ippo yenna panittu irundha? Inga neendhu? " Ashwin asked folding his arms that exposed his biceps. Shivanya gulped at it then realised that he was still waiting for an answer.
"Aa.. Adhu vandhu.. story sir!"
"Huh?"
"Story, story! Instagram story! Edhuka try panren but correct angle'eh kedaika matingedhu!"
Ashwin chuckled as She then turned back to her photo session again.

Suddenly she felt a warmth encircling her, she tilted her head to find Ashwin face near hers. Ashwin had his arms around her, he was helping her to fix her phone position to capture a good picture. While she was staring at him the whole time.

"Ipdhi vechi pudhima, nalla irukkum"
Ashwin said, his eyes still fixed on her phone. He suddenly felt her gaze on him and realised their proximity.

He quickly stood back scratching his nape. She captured the picture and posted it to her story trying to hide her blush.

Their silence was broken by a phone call,

"hey Shivanya, yenga di irukka? Mani 8. 30'achi inum nee sapda varala? All good?" Pragi asked from the other side.

"Illa pa, naa inga malaila mattikiten, office la dhan irukken, naa veli avaradhuku kula mala vegama vanduruchu!" Shivanya whined.

"thaniya va irukke? "

Shivanya looked at Ashwin who was admiring the rain.

"no, no, oru friend'oda dhan irukken,don't worry I'll be fine. Naa veliya agumbothu call panren, bye,"

Ashwin stared at her in surprise.

Did she just call him friend and say that she will be fine around him?

"yen apdi pakringa? Namba friends dhane?" she asked hoping not to have, slightly disturbed by his gaze.
"Yeah, of course" Ashwin answered huskily. She hummed.

"mala nikka konjam late'adhan agum pola" She said squinting her eyes at the rain. He hummed.
"but adhukulla ennaku pasikume, Ippo yenna panradhu?",
She wondered aloud biting her nails. Ashwin chuckled.
