Shakthi was sulking, his lower lip jutting out as he sat on the floor, utterly defeated. Ananya had somehow managed to make him do all the decorations, and it wasn't even close to being done. He had been blowing balloons for what felt like an eternity. Every breath he exhaled into those rubbery little spheres felt like it was draining the life out of him. Life was much easier when he was a cupid.

By the time he reached his twenty-fifth balloon, he simply couldn't go on. With a dramatic wail, he collapsed onto the floor, sprawling out like a fallen warrior.

I can't do this anymore

he groaned, staring up at the ceiling as if pleading for divine intervention.

Ananya chuckled at his theatrics, shaking her head. She signalled the others to continue working before walking over and settling down beside him, crossing her legs.

You're such a baby

she teased, nudging him lightly.

Shakthi turned his head to look at her, eyes narrowing.

Seriously, namba yen idhellam ippo panrom. Modhalerndhu kekren yaarume solamaatringa? What's the occasion?

(Seriously, why are we even doing this? I've been asking for a long time. What's the occasion?)

Ananya smiled, her expression softening.

It's for Mithra because Mithra deserves it. Na vandhadhulerndhu paakren, and she's always the one taking care of everyone. Making sure things are in place, ensuring people eat, and looking out for everyone without expecting anything in return. And yaarume adha appreciate panra madhiri therila So, this is a little thank-you for her. Also, there are some things—some house rules that need to be set. Adhuku namba yellarum utkandhu discuss panna vendhiyadhu irukum, like calm , grown-ups so I need to set a mood.

( It's for Mithra because Mithra deserves it. I've been watching for over a week now, and she's always the one taking care of everyone. Making sure things are in place, ensuring people eat, and looking out for everyone without expecting anything in return. No one ever stops to appreciate her. So, this is a little thank-you for her. Also, there are some things we all need to sit down and discuss—some house rules that need to be set so I need to set the mood for the discussion. )

Shakthi raised a brow at that.

Like as a family?

His voice held a glimmer of hope.

Ananya hesitated for a fraction of a second before nodding.

Yeah... andha madhiri dhan

( Yeah... something like that)

Shakthi's lips quirked up in a small smile, and for a moment, he seemed content with the answer. But soon, another thought struck him.

If this was the plan, kalailaye inga work panravanga kitta idhellam panna sollirkalamae? Namba energy waste agiru-

(If this was the plan, why not just ask the servants to set everything up in the morning itself? Would've saved us the trouble of not wasting our ener-)

Ananya arched a brow as she was blowing a balloon, Shakthi then deadpanned and continued,

En energy waste agirukadhu

( My energy wouldn't go wasted)

Mithra daily unakaga night'ku dhosai suttu, unakaga special'ah cutney senju adha soodhu panni vechitu poi thungura, even when you're avoiding her, just so that you can come down at 3am like an animal to have food, appo ava energy waste agalaya?
