Ashwin was dead silent after the phone call . He had food quietly and Sivaangi noticed this .

She came out of his home and looked at the heavy downpour and mentally sighed and checked about the uber and ola drivers .

Ashwin looked at her who was worriedly looking at her phone and the road alternatively .

She cursed all the online platforms badly when they backed off during rain and natural calamities .

" ena panra ? " a voice came

" Ila adu cab availability pakren " she said and kept looking at her phone .

" na drop panren va " he said and walked .

" huh no adellam vendam , I will take care of myself " she said .

" technically office dana una drop panirukanum iniku ? I know that erunu sona eru ilana " he threatened .

She didnt mind , " ilana "

" Car la nee eru ilana car un mela ethitu poite irupen " he said casually and walked towards the car .

She stood in the centre of the passage and he looked at her standing in the way exactly .

She noticed him pushing the gears with utmost irritation even with the heavy rainy windshield .

The speed he took off the vehicle actually jerked her ,

he punished the accelerator when it neared , she stood still but with eyes closed .

She heard the car stopping with a gushing sound and opened her eyes to look at the car just a metre away from her .

He popped out his head asking her to get in while she silently took the passenger seat .

The drive was quiet except for the google maps which was showing him the direction .

" Vita ethirupeenga pola " she asked .

" I regret it , panirukalam " he said turning to the right .

" Pathen , I only won this time , na dairiyama dan ninnen " she said

He chuckled loudly , " pathen pathen adaiyum pathen , but ne dan pakala , oops bayandu kannu lam mooditiyo "

" call it even " she said

" okiee "

" You were so tensed right ? " she asked

" when ? " he interrogated

" before food " she said looking at him .

He nodded his head , " kind of , I mean tensed ila , deep thoughts "

" Dont worry if its about Rathord's project , you shouldnt worry , Rakshan anna is helping out , and all the subordinates are working so well , we can do it " she radiated positivity .

He was pleased to hear this , smiled and nodded again .

On reaching the apartment , the area was pitch dark and he felt it to be in a remote place .

He wasnt ready to leave her as he felt unsafe .

Dropping her at the apartment , he played with the steering and that's when she offered ,

" Wanna have coffee or something ? " she asked for namesake while he immediately nodded a yes .

" Huh ipo dana dinner saptom ? " she asked with a frown .

" Ipo dana coffee venumanu nee keta ? eduku keta ? " he asked

She nodded , " its just so dark , i thought u will refuse "
