Both faces were fully flushed. Ashwin took his time to take in Sivaangi's form ignoring the knock. She inhaled and exhaled while her gaze was fixed low, not ready to meet his. Her messed hair, pink face, plump lips, shy smile, and just the way she was breathing was doing things to him.

He wanted more.

He pushed her slowly to lay on her back and kissed her forehead before moving on her nose and cheeks. Sivaangi couldn't push him away. She would be lying if she said she never desired him. She never knew if she could ever reveal it probably because she never knew he would desire her;

His best friend.

It was the night before his wedding, technically he was still someone's boyfriend and fiance even though he wasn't so sure about it and he just said his heart belonged to her. What was he even thinking?

Alarms kept ringing in her head as his fingers squeezed her waist while a bunch of insects erupted in her stomach when she felt his lips and teeth on her neck. It was such a nutty situation which she invited upon her, which wasn't in the agenda when she planned to give him the holy thread.

She was about to give in and roll over on top of him to kiss him all over his face when the door was knocked again, a few times. "Yaarunu pakalam" Sivaangi got off the bed and walked towards the door. Ashwin cursed whoever was on the other side of the door and followed her. "Nee iruma nan open pandren" She adjusted her hair and dress before he opened the door to find Pugazh.

As soon as Pugazh's eyes landed on Sivaangi, he asked "Inga enna pandra?" eventhough he wasn't surprised to find her there. In fact he came to Ashwin's room straight when she was nowhere to be found in her room.

She casually lifted Ashwin's hand "Ivaruku saami kaiyuru katte vanthen ne"

"Katittalla?" his voice was stern enough for both Ashwin and Sivaangi to understand he wasn't very fond of seeing her there.

"Ahn" she answered anyway, swaying her head, masking her discomfort.

"Kelambu.. un room ku po" he said in an almost chiding tone.

A pang of uncertainty and guilt hit Sivaangi as she looked into her brother's eyes that were filled with austere, dislike and concern. She wished the ground would swallow her at the moment, instantly regretted everything that happened minutes ago and cursed herself for coming into his room in the first place. When she heard knocks on the door, she prayed it should be anyone but Sahana, but she just realised what's worse. She lowered her head and quickly walked out without sparing a glance for either man.

Pugazh panned along the way Sivaangi went and waited till she was out of sight before turning to glare at Ashwin. "Yean da apdi pakura?" Ashwin asked, genuinely confused.

"Avathan vantha na, nee edhuku da ulla vidra? Vasal ninu pesi anupa vendiyathana?"

"Yean da anupanum?"

Pugazh was starting to get annoyed at his best friend's ignorance. He wondered if Ashwin was truly that innocent or he was pretending.

"Edhuka? Unaku vidinja kalyanam da! Intha nerathula sivu un room la iruntha ellarum ena nenapanga?"

It's Ashwin's turn to feel annoyed. Pugazh was acting weird all of a sudden. He wondered when people's opinion about them started to affect Pugazh.
