My Beating Heart

Chapter 15 - Never mess with her

"I will, I know we haven't known each other for long and I am not even sure if we are rushing to this decision, but something inside tells me that, this is the right decision. So yeah let us get married, I will talk to my parents, the moment we land in Chennai", he replied placing a stamp like kiss on her lips.

"Now, we are getting late already, here, have this coffee and let us leave" he said placing the coffee cup on her hand.

"Your voice is extremely good Sivaangi, there is kind of uniqueness in your voice that can melt people's  heart" said DSP hearing her singing.

"Thank you sir, thank you so much" she replied with excited eyes

"But, having said that, this is not the voice I am looking for. This particular song needs something else, a huskiness with the melody, your voice has the melody, but lacks the huskiness in it, I am not saying your singing was bad, it was more than excellent, just that it didn't suit this particular song" he replied in a comforting tone.

"Oh okay sir, I understand, thank you for the opportunity" she said, disappointment evident in her voice.

"But fret not, you have definitely impressed me, so next time I decide to do a song that matches your voice, you will get a call and that time it will be direct recording and who knows it can be for this movie it self" he said encouraging her.

"Sure sir, I will be waiting for the call, thanks again" she said and left the recording studio.

Ashwin who was sitting in the waiting hall immediately got up and looked at her with lots of expectations.

Sivaangi came near him and hugged him tight.

"I didn't get it" she said in almost broken voice.

Ashwin did not reply anything right way, during these times advising and saying something positive will only irritate people more than actually giving them the positivity. So instead of saying something he just tightened his hug, letting her know through his actions that it is okay.

"Lets go" she said, sniffing her nose and getting away from him

Ashwin silently followed her not knowing what to say, these are generally his weak points, he is not the consoling type and most  of the time his answers even though it will be logical and correct will be unacceptable and hurtful.

"Why aren't you saying anything? " she asked, looking at him with expectations.

"Saapda polaama? pasikudhu" he replied looking into her eyes

Sivaangi looked at him shocked and then next moment burst into laughter.

"Enna maari aagitta Ashwineyy nee, he he, yeah enakkum pasikudhu, lets go eat" she replied with a smile forgetting all her disappointments 

"Adhu enna dhideernu Ashwineyy? Doctoreyy nnu dhaane koopduva?" he asked walking along with her.

"Ashwineyy, Doctoreyy, potaoto, potahto, ellaam onnu dhaan, I call as I feel comfortable" she replied clicking her tongue casually.

Ashwin looked at her munching on Gobi manchurian happily.

"I am not sure, what I am going to say is comforting or not, but I feel I need to say something here" Ashwin said with little hesitation

Sivaangi lifted her head from her gobi manchurian plate and looked at him confused.

"I know you were really hoping to get this opportunity, but please don't get disappointed, if we loose something, it means there is always something bigger and better waiting for us" he said with more hesitation.
