I know she's changed, and it's a good thing,

She pleaded, her tone soft and earnest, as 601 spoke to 403 over the phone.

But I need one more confirmation. Just one more, and then I'll shoot my arrow, I promise.

Her voice carried a weight that rendered 403 silent for a moment.

He exhaled deeply, leaning back in his chair with a thoughtful sigh.

Hopefully, because the moment Avi admits his love for Ananya-and she admits hers for him-is the moment we can finally close this assignment.

He paused.

And I really, really need that to happen. ASAP. Na veetuku poganum

( I have to go home)

601 bit her lip, exhaling sharply. Fear coursed through her as memories of her last mistake surfaced. She had followed protocol, shot an arrow without a second thought, believing she was doing the right thing. But that girl's soulmate had turned out to be an abuser, the very reason for her untimely death. The weight of that tragedy had haunted 601 ever since, leaving scars she couldn't ignore.

Deep down, she couldn't help but think that if she hadn't been so obsessed with completing assignments like the other cupids, that girl might still be alive. She might not have been trapped in the claws of that man. This time, things were different-Ananya was different. Ananya had become more than just an assignment; she had become a friend. And for that reason, 601 knew she couldn't afford to take any risks.

She was not going to trust another man.

I'm just trying not to make another mistake.

She trailed off.

403's expression softened as the realization dawned on him. Her reluctance wasn't just hesitation-it was guilt. He knew about her previous assignments because, well, he might have run a little background check on her.

Seri

(Alright)

he said quietly.

Romba kenjadha

( You don't have to beg)

He was about to end the call when he heard her mumble profanities under her breath. He paused, a smirk tugging at his lips, and teased,

And also you sound like a human.

I dont have to be a human, in order for me to be a good friend

403 imitated her rambling, exaggerating every word as he made a face at the mirror across the bed where he was sitting. Shaking his head with a roll of his eyes, he ended the call with a deep sigh.

>>>>–––– 💘 ––––<<<<

Mithra stood outside Shakthi's room, her heart pounding as she raised her hand to knock. She needed to sort things out with him, to get some clarity. The door creaked open, and Shakthi appeared, his expression neutral but his eyes betraying a hint of curiosity.

Shakthi, unkitta konjam pesanum

( Shakthi, I have to talk to you)

Shakthi nodded and stepped aside, allowing her to enter his room. He closed the door behind her, then turned to face her. Before she could say anything, he spoke softly, his voice calm yet tinged with an underlying seriousness.
