CHAPTER 14

Almost a week has passed since that incident. Ashwin and Shivanya are very good.... Friends now. Atleast that's what she has told her friends.
They don't know anything about that night, she told them that she was home and dozed off.

Ashwin's days has started becoming more brighter.
No matter how tensed he is, how many meetings he has to attend, or how many times he has felt an uneasiness on his chest.The moment he sees the bite sized girl sneaking out from her cabin to his during break time, bending her head, careful not to be seen by anyone. His face lits up.

Undercover, undercover!

Is what she told him when he asked why was she sneaking like that.
Sometimes they eat together, whereas sometimes he'll have his eyes fixed on his work and ears on her chattering listening to her latest gossips as she eats her lunch feeding him now and then. It has been their routine for the past week.

She has even been coming up with multiple weird plans to bring Kathir and Teju together, to talk.

They tried making Kathir go to Teju's cabin to fetch files, making them bump into each other and many more attempts. But it kept going vain.Kathir always had his way to escape.

"Avaruku Romantic feel varanumna, adhuku Romantic'ana set up dhan, set agum pola," Shivanya suggested biting her nails,lost in her thoughts, leaving Ashwin and Teju clueless.
--------------------------

Avantika comes to the top floor to return some files to the marketing team. When she entered the floor, she noticed it to be empty and remembered that it was break. She shook her head, went to Varun's cabin cause he is one she borrowed the files from. She placed the file on his table and started leaving. That's when she saw them.

Ashwin and Shivanya coming out of Ashwin's cabin talking and laughing about something.

Shivanya's hands were wrapped around Ashwin's one arm as she slowly dragged him to her height as he bend down to show her something on his phone. They were too lost in their conversation that they didn't even notice Avantika's existence. She quickly hide herself.

Avantika was fuming in anger. Two people she hated the most, who made her life miserable knowingly and unknowingly, were laughing and living their lifes, together. She could tell that there was something more to them. Whereas she could barely talk to her Vihan. She felt the necessity of having to do something as she couldn't tolerate the sight at all.

Ashwin, after giving an hi-fi to Shivanya, happy for a plan they have just come up with walked back to his cabin. As he went in leaving his cabin door open since there weren't anyone there after all, leaving a clear view to Avantika who was hiding nearby.

He took his medicine from his pocket, placed it on his table and went to his personal suite to use the restroom.

It caught Avantika's attention, she tip toed into his cabin and grabbed the bottle hurriedly. She could tell that it must be some important medication and shoved it into her pocket. As she was leaving to the lift, looking back now and then, careful not to be caught by him, she bumped onto someone. It was Shivanya.
Shit!

Shivanya noticed the tense in Avantika's face and the direction she was coming from. She was quick to realise that Avantika was upto something.

"What are you d-"
"What is your problem Shivanya? Do you always have to make my life miserable? Were you born for it? I hate you! Just get lost!"
Avantika raged at Shivanya before she could even open her mouth and left from there.

Shivanya just watched her with an emotionless face
Paithiyam

Shivanya felt something wrong. She entered Ashwin's cabin to check on him. Nothing was out of sorts. He came out and noticed her.
"Yennachu Shivanya?" Ashwin asked concerned.
"onnum illa, chumma dhan, bye!" she ran back to her cabin.
Shacking his head in disbelief, Ashwin left to his meeting.
