Ashaangi SS Bewitched

Chapter Twenty Nine

Sivaangi eyed at Ashwin who had his hands joined and praying in front of a small photo. Saradha stood on the opposite side and with her eyes closed, she was praying. It was Ashwin's father's death day.

Dhanalakshmi gestured Sivaangi to help Saradha. Ashwin silently walked out. Saradha asked Sivaangi to help Kamala to bring the food to the dining table while Saradha went out to keep food for the crow. Once the crow eat, rest can eat.

The day went swiftly. Sivaangi didn't see Ashwin much. He texted her that he had to go to Coimbatore for work but she knew he just needed some time. He grew up without a father and to grieve over someone you have never met was never easy.

That night was the first time Sivaangi sneaked inside Ashwin's room, unannounced. And, she only left when her guy felt better.

Two days later, Harish came back by evening. Sivaangi threw herself in her brother's arms. Ashwin greeted Harish with a hug. Kamala made them hot raw banana fitters and coconut chutney. They sat down and relished it with Harish filling in about his work.

In between, Ashwin got a work call. So, he excused himself. Harish and Sivaangi started talking about work.

"Nalaiku LS Showroom ku vara sollirukanga. Namma dresses ellam vandhrucha nu pathutu aprm models vachu photoshoot ku proceed panidalam" Harish suggested, "Naa Bangalore vara poga vendiyathu varum, Sivu. In that case, nee dhan pathukura mathiri irukum. Ashwin ah venum na help ku vachuko"

(Tomorrow, they have asked us to come LS Showroom. Once we get the dresses, we can proceed with the photoshoot with models... I might have to go to Bangalore, Sivu. In that case, you would have to take care. Take Ashwin's help"

"Work ellam naa pathukuren neyy. Onga work oda mix up aaga vendam. Aprm Ashwin avaru new business la vera busy ah iruparu. Avara naa disturb pannala. Namma Georgian team la irundhu oruthara kuptukuren"

(I'll take care of work, brother. Let your work not get mixed up. Then, Ashwin will be busy with his new business. I won't be disturbing him. I'll get someone from Georgian team for help)

Although Sivaangi would get to spend time with Ashwin if she asks him to come along, it wouldn't be fair to him given he have to take care of his works too. If she asks, then he will try to balance both to help her out and she doesn't want that.

"Aprm, andha vlog namma yedukuradha irundhuchula. Adhuvum yedukanum, Sivu. Publishing house la promotion ku ketrukanga" Harish said and Sivaangi agreed.

(The vlog which we planned to take, we have to take it, Sivu. Publishing house has requested for the vlog for promotion)

That's when Ashwin came. Harish told Ashwin about the vlog and Ashwin suggested few places where they can shoot. Sivaangi freely engaged in the conversation and the ease with which Ashwin and Sivaangi conversed didn't slip from Harish's notice but he decided not to react; not until, he was sure.
