(Chauffeuse- female chauffeur)
"Pochu! Inikum late! Meesa tension aaga pogudhu!" Sivaangi looked at her watch and lamented the lack of punctuality.
Leaning sideways, through the windscreen of the car, dodging the pole as barrier, Sivaangi's eyes could easily spot him at the other side of the road.
Standing at the entrance of the police station, he was firing instructions one after the other to his juniors. It's not hard to identify him even at this far, his uptight staunch Policeman attitude, oozes generously from his personality yet his eyes held warmth and kindness in them.
"Epdiyum late dhan, touch up panitu povom!"
Slightly turning the rear-view mirror, she made final touches to her light make-up, applied a faint layer of lipstick and primped her hair. Her hands ran down to smoothen the almost non-existent creases over her white tank-top.
Not letting him go away from her far sight, she turned the wheels in style and accelerated the cat only to stop outside the gate of the police station, not even bothering to enter the drive way or looking at him.
His brief nod to his junior was an indication that he saw her car in his peripheral vision and he's more than eager to end his previous discussion. Not more than five strides later, he hopped inside the passenger seat, right behind her.
"You are late by 2 minutes 10 seconds!" He flicked his wrist and in the process of flaunting his well-carved biceps.
Adopting a boring expression, Sivaangi rolled her eyes, "typical! Someday for a change you can try other lines, ACP sir."
He smiled at her annoyance on being called out, that made her more beautiful. If only she knew, he deliberately say such things to elicit these expressions from her!
"Someday for a change, you can try coming on time, Miss. Chauffeur!"
"Chauffeuse!" She corrected him.
"Huh?"
"English theriyuma theriyadha ungaluku? Na ponnu la, so it's chauffeuse!"
"Idhulam correct a pesu! Punctuality ku matum spelling kooda theriyadhu!"
"Police in India should be banned to comment on time," shaking her head with displeasure, Sivaangi looked out to pull the car back to the permitted lane but immediately cursed as she forgot to adjust the rear-view mirror. Nevertheless, she managed deftly.
It was when she threw a casual glance at him, she found him chuckling at her previous jibe on police. Instantly that made her smile too.
"Tamil cinema la police climax la last la dhana varanga!" She commented.
Stopping at the red light indication at the signal, she asked, "apram ACP sir, smuggling case investigation epdi poitu iruku?"
"We are close, more and more leads are coming as we are digging deeper."
"Semma! Vera level!" She chirped with a smile that sparkled with genuine pride. Probably she knew how horrendous that case is and how much hard he is working for that. He felt appreciated.
"Enna majors edukuradhu nu decide pantiya?" He asked , his eyes followed their ways down from her eyes to her lips as she clicked her tongue at denial.
How could she be so expressive just with a few of her actions? He would surely like to explore and learn this act!
A few minutes of silence passed. Her eyes were engrossed on the road ahead while his eyes were on her!
