என்னமோ செய்தாய்நீ.
என்னதான் செய்தாய் நீ?
கொஞ்சம் நெருங்கி பார்க்க தோன்றும்
கொஞ்சம் விரும்பி பார்க்கத் தோன்றும்.
(You have done something.
What have you done?
I think of getting a little closer.
I think of admiring with desires)

The sun gracefully ascended the sky, marking another new day. Paayal woke up from her slumber, rubbing her eyes and blinked into the morning light, and her eyes found Krishna instinctively. He was still cocooned in his peaceful sleep, unaware of the world waking around him.

Paayal couldn't help but be captivated by the adorable cute sight of Krishna who was lost in the innocence of sleep. She greeted him tenderly, "Good morning, C...Chella kutty," her words woven with warmth and love.

As he was sleeping, she sat up comfortably, folding her legs, keeping her palms on her chin and started to admire his face which was not covered by the bedsheet. Losing herself in the reverie, she murmured, "Your inner beauty completely reflects in your face. How beautiful you are!!"

Meanwhile, Ajay entered the room, unaware of her admiration and casually greeted her, "Oh, You woke up?! Good morning."

Yet Paayal remained in her own world, admiring Krishna. Ajay sensed her distraction, playfully stepping in front of her, hiding Krishna's view from her eyes. Paayal ignored him in her reverie, moving her head away to see Krishna. Ajay chuckled and playfully clapped his hands to drag her away from the reverie.

Paayal jerked, turning her attention to Ajay, a frown creasing her forehead. "Hey, you idiot!! This is how you enter a room and disturb when a couple is inside?"

On the other hand, Krishna's sleep too disturbed by his clap. He too woke up.

The word 'couple' hung in the air, sparking contrasting reactions from Krishna and Ajay. Krishna's heart fluttered with the mix of surprise and delight while Ajay wore an expression of disbelief.

Paayal sensed her tongue slip and bit her tongue in embarrassment. "N... No, I...I meant, a girl... This is how you enter a room when a girl is inside," She stammered.

Ajay, ever the tease, responded playfully, "Oh...Sorry madam. But don't forget that a boy is already inside this room," casting a playful gaze at Krishna.

Krishna frowned for teasing his angel.

In an attempt to manage the situation, Paayal ordered hastily, "You...You both go out. I want to get ready."

Ajay mumbled, "This is all my fate. She is telling me to go out of my own room," and turned to Krishna.

"Come on, let's go," Ajay said, faking a helpless expression playfully. Krishna nodded and they both walked out without even the customary morning rituals. Paayal locked the door immediately and took a deep breath.

As she exhaled, a cascade of thoughts flooded in her mind, "Did they understand what I meant? If yes, Will Krishna discover my feelings? If yes, How will he react? Will he like me? Or will he go away from me? No No, I managed the situation. They too believed it. Otherwise, they would have bombarded me with more questions," She assured herself, attempting to sooth her anxieties swirling within.

Meanwhile, In the hallway, Ajay asked teasingly, as they strolled towards the kitchen to have coffee, "What's up, dude? Yesterday she was not talking to you at this time. Today, she is suddenly referring you both as couple"

Krishna blushed and replied, "I think she realised her love. It's just my guess. But I can clearly see the changes in her behaviour. Her behavior took a sudden turn from yesterday. I like this change in her. Yesterday and today only her smiling face is lasting longer. It's a good change, right! "
