Ashaangi SS Bewitched

Chapter Eight

When Sivaangi woke up the next morning, she couldn't make sense of why she dreamt of Ashwin, the guy whom she just met yesterday. She had her lists of crush stories but she couldn't put a finger on why she's drawn to him.

In Sivaangi's dream Ashwin was driving his bike and she sat behind him with her arms wrapped around his waist. And then she running and he chasing her behind in her Chennai house. Nothing made sense for her.

Shaking out of her reverie, Sivaangi got ready and went down. Kamala informed her that Harish has went out to play football with Ashwin. Harish did leave her a text which she saw later. She greeted Dhanalakshmi who enquired whether she slept well.

Once Saradha came the women folk sat down together for breakfast. Sivaangi shared her agenda for the day. Dhanalakshmi advised Sivaangi not to stress too much and work on their pace while Saradha asked her to take Ashwin along when she and Harish goes out.

"Avanga vandhu, Anna fresh agi, saptu, romba neram edukum, Aunty. Na onga kuda adhu vara kadaiku varen"

(It would take time for brother to come back, fresh up and get ready, Aunty. I'll come along with you to shop)

Saradha agreed and took Sivaangi along. Settling down in Saradha's office room, Sivaangi worked on her laptop. Her team has already sent the required data and potential local resource supplier.

With Rajesh's help, Sivaangi searched the address for all the factories and mills. By the time Harish and Ashwin reached the shop, Sivaangi was ready with the requirements of the day.

Ashwin went to Saradha while Harish sat down with Sivaangi. She quickly filled him in. He listened intently and then agreed to leave.

"Machan"

(Buddy)

Ashwin hollered from outside.

"Maapla?" Harish yelled back.

(Buddy; It translates to brother-in-law as well but Harish meant as buddy here)

Sivaangi stiffened for a second before looking at her brother. 'Yedhey, mapilai ah?!' She wondered when this development happened.

(Did he call him buddy/brother-in-law?)

"Kelambalama da?" Ashwin asked.

(Shall we leave?)

"Idho varoom da" Harish yelled and then looked at Sivaangi, "Sivu, thevai aana things eduthuko. Kelambalam"

(We'll come now... Sivu, take your necessary things. We'll leave)

They decided to go in their car. Selvam Anna went back to Chennai last evening. So, Harish was driving and Ashwin was at the front, guiding him. Sivaangi sat at the back and watched the duo conversing effortlessly with each other.

Sivaangi's eyes fell on Ashwin through the front mirror. He was dressed in a yellow shirt with black slacks. Sensing a strong gaze on him, Ashwin looked at the front mirror only to catch Sivaangi staring at him. She quickly looked away when her eyes met his.
