The name board shows "Sugar & Solace"

A petite girl wearing a vibrant yellow flowy dress covered with apron and her curly black hair cascading down her back. Her hands moved deftly, piping intricate designs onto the cake as she lost herself in the familiar rhythm of her bakery. The sweet aroma of freshly baked goods filled the air, a comforting scent that never failed to soothe her nerves.

She always find solace in baking. But today, her mind wandered, her thoughts drifting to the mysterious eyes that looking at her from the entrance of the cafe. Her eyes kept drifting back to the young man with dark brown eyes with tanned , chiseled feature and strong jawline wearing a causal yet stylish attire,looking like a movie hero. She maintained a calm exterior and continued her work. She is sivaangi , the girl who owns the cafe.

Sivaangi : Yaru ivaru , nammalaye kuru kuru nu pathutu irukaru , something is off ...

(Who is he? Why was he looking at me like that?)

She called her friend Monisha. Monisha came infront of sivaangi...

Sivaaangi : Moni , indha cake ah na ulla vechiran meedhi work nee pathuko.... Customers vandha kupdu ..

(Moni, I'll keep the cake inside. Take care of the balance works here. Call me if customer came.)

She said and went inside while giving a last look to the mysterious man. Her heart palpated when she saw his strong gaze which formed pit in her stomach. She fastly hurried inside the cafe.

Meanwhile , the young man whose name is Ashwinkumar , as soon as he stepped into the cozy cafe, 'Sugar & Solace', his eyes landed on his vision of beauty Sivaangi, Her focus was intense, her eyes shining with a passion that drew him in.

"There is my girl" !! He whispered to himself, taken aback when he saw her looking at his direction.

He couldn't help but watch her, mesmerized by the way her eyes sparkled when she smiled to herself. He didn't have a heart to miss a single sight , so he took a seat at the entrance and started looking at her.

'En Uyirae En Kadhalae...'(Tamil song) he hummed softly, feeling a connection he couldn't explain.

As their eyes met, he felt a jolt of electricity. Her gaze was wary, but he saw a flicker of curiosity too. He smiled, hoping to put her at ease.

He averted his gaze and ordered something to the girl working there and after the order arrived he sat there eating his favourite muffins made by sivaangi.

He kept looking in her direction watching her activities. It became his favourite routine of the day. It has been one month , since he started coming to this cafe.

He felt a strong gaze on him , he looked in the direction to see sivaangi glancing at him. when she saw his gaze shifting to her. At that moment she called her friend and went inside.

Ashwin smiled at her antics. In that moment, He knew he wanted to spend more time with this captivating woman, to unravel the secrets behind her guarded eyes and make her smile again. He loves to see her smile , but to his dismay she didn't smile often , so he took oath to make her smile wholeheartedly.

It was 6 pm in the evening , A little boy came running inside the cafe while shouting "Sivaangi , Sivaangi" .

Sivaangi came outside the kitchen and hugged the little boy and ruffled his hair. Ashwin eyes zoomed in the sight with a genuine smile on his face.

The boy and sivaangi started speaking something animatedly. Like everyday, Ashwin kept his chin on his palm and watched his favourite people engaging with eachother.
