H (stammers): Arghmm athuu..

C: Ayesha un mogam en sevanthuruku.

Hriday swiftly turns his head towards her while she widens her eyes and cups her cheeks.

H(clearing his throat): Athu..haan...Door vanthu wall magnet a idicha sound nala jerk aito..vera onu ila.

C: Kaila albums irnthanala kal ala thoranthen.

H (gets up): Athukunu bruce lee mariya odachutu varuvanga. Kathavu matum odanjuchu Owner ena varuthu eduthuduvan, saying he tries to divert the topic

C: Athuku than nanu solitey irken, puthu veedu vangunu neethan kekamatra

He gently drags his mother outside the room simultaneously telling her "Athellam nadaka vendiya time la correcta nadakum, nadaka vaipen"

Ayesha let out a deep breath. All the awkwardness that was existing slowly started to dissipate. Her eyes wandered around his room, a simple black-n-white background and a cozy single bed. Sticky notes hung everywhere, his towel on the floor, clothes lying on his chair, his bed.

A(mutters): So messy..

She walked over to his mirror and spotted his aftershave, perfume, hair gel, and two different types of combs. She picked up his perfume and inhaled the scent. The strong smell immediately hit her senses taking her back to their close proximity moments back. 

She jerked her eyes open and turned around to come face to face with Hriday.

H: You ok now? Sorry Amma konjo awkward akitanga

A: Atheelam parvala, am ok now. Ama...why is your room so messy. Thuni la anga inga kadaku, neat a vaiklam la

H: Messy a irnthathan oru homely feel varum, veedu mari irkum.

Ayesha nods her head sounding convinced.

H: Na inu unaku veedu suthi kamikla la, va pola

Hriday takes her on a short house tour showing her the kitchen, guest room and the garden.

H: Iru na thanni kudichutu varen

Hriday enters the kitchen to be welcomed by his mother's sweet voice.

C (mimicking): Messy a irnthathan oru homely feel varum, veedu mari irkum. Ahnn, irukum irukum

H (whines): Maaa! Ottu kekrathu thapunu paati soli tharala?

C: Na enga out keten? Nee sathama pesna athu en kuthama

H: Pls ma, Un pulla ma nanu, konjo machum ena score pana viden

Chandra continued doing her work ignoring him. Chandra threw the fresh curry leaves into a pot containing hot oil and mustard seeds causing them to sizzle and emit smoke.

H (coughing): Ma antha chimney a podu ma....

C: Veedu na ipdi than irkum, nala homely a feel varutha?

Hriday groans and picks up the freshly fried pakoda and threw it into his mouth and then groans again finding it too hot causing his mouth to burn.

H: Arhh...ellam en neram

He mumbles and leaves the kitchen making Chandra break into a laugh.

C: Kadavule! en pulla Ayesha va kooda irunthu kapathu pa

H: Enaku ketuchu! He shouts from the doorway

C: Apo romba nallathu

Hriday reaches his parents room in search of Ayesha and finds her not there. His mouth seemed to burn even more and realized that he just chewed on a whole chilli. Sighing he looked around and found that the door to his PS room was open. He enters it to find Ayesha gawking at his extensive PS collection and his exclusive musical setup. He walks up to her.

A: You play? She asks faintly touching his guitar.

H: I do. PS is my favourite pastime ana enaku Music na romba pudikum. So, college lernthu guitar um keyboard um vasika kathukiten.

A: Wow. She mumbles truly fascinated by this beautiful array of musical instruments.

H: I was actually working on this composition but inum mudikala. You wanna see me play? He asks excited

A: Pakamatum thane mudium, keka mudiyathey. Saying she lets out a dry chuckle.

H: Kekamudiyathuna feel pana mudiyathunu yar sonna?

He softly holds her hand and places it atop the speaker. He settles down and raises the volume and begins playing one of his favorite song "Raja Raja Cholan Naan"

Ayesha presses her feet more firmly to the ground and grips the speaker tightly feeling the vibrations enter her body. The music feels quite familiar to her as if she had heard it before.

She turns to look at Hriday who was already staring at her with a smile etched on his face. His lips were in constant motion, as if he was singing.

Kannodu kangal yettrum karpoora deepamae
Kai theendum podhu paayum minsaaramae
Ullaasa medai melae orangha naadagam
Inbangal paadam sollum en thaayagam

Ingangu oonjalaaga naan pogiren
Angangu aasai theeyil naan vegiren
Un raaga moganam en kaadhal vaaganam
Senthaamarai senthaen mazhai en aavi neeyae devi

His incoherent words seemed more understandable to her when the verses he sang coincided with the music she felt.

It awakened the dormant part of her that she had boycotted all along. Involuntarily she closed her eyes and began mouthing the lyrics along with him without a single flaw. The lyrics and the music kept flowing through her mind as if she had heard them just yesterday.

Hriday was surprised to see her join him but nevertheless, he continued to play.

Ayesha opened her eyes when the image of him crossed her mind.

His face looked so serene and happy. He was showing her his love for music. He was sharing his favorite things, and that felt so intimate to her.

All these years of her effort to keep music away from her went in vain the second he started playing. She fell in love with music all over again, but this time she could actually feel it.

Again and again, he was effortlessly breaking all her walls. He kept making her feel normal.

He was slowly creeping into her heart, stealthily like a Ninja. And now she was ready, ready to embrace him with the doors to her heart open for him, just for him!

Music has no boundaries. No matter what language, genre, rhythm, it can always find a way to everyone's heart!
