Sri Devi heaves a relief hearing it's Anirudh on the other side of the door. She opens it up, letting him in. Anirudh greets her with his usual smile.she notices he is out of his uniform now.
"What brings you here? And now of all times?"
He pulls a chair to sit as she locks the main door again.
"Maari is totally unromantic. So I suggest you choose me instead."
Her jaw drops, it's totally odd. Now that her parents seem to have approved their relationship (almost right) Anirudh has started being more open with his feelings. It's a bit overwhelming.
"Anirudh, what are you even-"
"Girls like romantic types, no?"
He smirks, that boyish smile making him look more handsome. Of course, Aniruth is so handsome, so talented, so young... and a cop which makes him perfect husband material but...
Devi shakes her head.
"Stop teasing me. Tell me why are you here?"
Anirudh laughs, "OK OK. I'll tell you. Maari has sent me a word, asking me to watch over you."
"He sent you--?" she can't help but grin at that. Maari did what now? "Why?"
"Why because he's worried about you probably," Anirudh answers, "I'm really angry with you. Why didn't you tell me about what happened last night?
"Uh... sorry. It just slipped my mind."
Devi bites her lip. Anirudh sighs.
"You know it's a big deal. How could you forget Candy?"
"I know... if Maari hadn't shown up, maybe someone could have kidnapped me, but... I still feel safe. Probably because I know no matter what, Maari will save me."
"That much confidence...."
Aniruth smiles looking a bit sad. Devi returns one similar to his. Then she changes the topic.
"Are you really gonna spend the night here? I mean is it okay?"
He laughs, "I should be the one asking that question, candy. Is it okay?"
