The Chosen One

Chapter-1 Their first meet

"Album ah? endha album? endha short film?" asked Sivaangi little over excited getting a sarcastic look from Mika

"Enakku therila ma" replied her father

"Ayo at least oru nalla paakara maari hero varanum at least sight adikavaadhu useful ah irukkum" replied Sivaangi sighing

"Oru 5 feet 11 inches la, calm ah, warm ah, paathale appadiye oru kulu kulu feel vara maariii "  she added  stretching her hands looking up dreamily

"Kulu kulu feel pathi therila but my height is 5 feet 11 inches and voice konjam warm ah irukum kelvi patruken..  " came a voice from the entrance of the house shocking everybody

All three of them and her mother who came out from the kitchen hearing his voice looked at the new comer little shocked

"Hi.. " he said but now it is his turn to get surprised

"Wow! " he exclaimed looking at the sisters who turned to look at the entrance

"This is the first time I am seeing  perfect identical twins, cinema la paakra dual role maari irukeenga rendu perum" he added

"Hello! who are you, just because the door is open doesn't mean you can walk right in, yaaru neenga?" asked Sivaangi who was the first to come to her senses

"Aye, Ashwin de" murmured Sivaathmika under her breath

"Yendha Ashwin de? " she asked back

Ashwin walked towards Sivaangi slowly

"Hi, name is Ashwinkumar, I have acted in quite a few movies as character artist, few album songs and some moderately hit short films, now trying to prove myself as a male lead. Native is Coimbatore. Indha details podhuma?" he asked her in his base voice looking down deep into her eyes.

"Ayo Ashwin, avalukku yerkanave theriyum, youtube kaari thuppara varaikum she would have watched your latest short film, especially that 'Kai veesi' song is her Suprabatham "  said Mika making both Sivaangi and Ashwin blush.

"Hi, I am Mika, short for Sivaathmika, iva Sivaangi, short ah Sivu, vaangi enna venumo koopadlaam" said Mika 

"Hi Ashwin, I am Krishnan, welcome, ivangala vitta pesitte irupaanga, neenga ukkarunga, coffee?" asked their father who came in front and welcomed Ashwin formally

"Illa Uncle thanks, I need to freshen up a bit, room enga?" he asked trying to hide a shy smile

"First time veetuku vandhirkeenga,please have this coffee" said Sivaangi's mother.

"Thanks Aunty" he replied and took the coffee and sat on the sofa little uncomfortably.

There was an awkward silence where everyone wanted to talk but no one knew what to start with.

"Sanjeev eppadi theriyum ungalukku" asked Mr. Krishnan trying to initiate a conversation

"We did BE together in Coimbatore, became best buddies in college, he chose to join IT and I moved on to do MBA, we met few years back when I came her to start my career in entertainment industry, neraya help pannirkaan, one true friend he is"  replied Ashwin.

"BE, MBA, ippo entertainment industry ah, aya, oru thelive illadha aalu pola?" Sivaangi murmured a snide comment which was clearly audible to Ashwin.

"Madam enna padichirkeenga" asked Ashwin sarcastically

"B com" replied Sivaangi proudly

"Oh nice, enga vela paakareenga? illa further studies ah?"  he continued asking with fake sincerity

"Illa singer aaga try pannittu irukken, Star singer season 7 oda title winner naanu, already oru song kooda paadirken in a movie, it is yet to release, edhukku idhellaam kekureenga?" she asked defensively not understanding why he is asking these questions

"What is the relationship between b com and singing? En bachelors in music pannirkalaame" he asked her in a teasing tone provoking her

"Ohhhhhh!" replied Sivaangi

"Ohhhhh!!" joined Ashwin imitating her.

"Inga enna nadakudhu?" asked Sivaathmika while her parents too looked at the two who were conversing as if they were in their own world weirdly making Ashwin blush

"Thanks for the coffee aunty, I will take my leave now" said Ashwin getting up and taking his luggage in one hand.

"Okay Ashwin nice meeting you " said Mika and went into her room without a second look while Sivaangi too got up to leave when her mother called her.

"Sivaangi, go with him and show him the house, here is the key" she said handing over the key to her

"Ma.. adhu enna Thirumalai nayakar mahal ah suththi kaata, oru room, oru slab for kitchen, oru rest room, idhukku edhukku naanu, poma"  she whined getting a stare from her mother

"It is ok, give me the key, I can manage" said Ashwin looking a little embarrassed making her feel little guilty.

"Parava illa, naane varen" she said and started walking towards the entrance that lead to the stairs.

Instead of climbing she literally hopped on each steps her pony tail swaying left and right humming the tune of one of the latest hit numbers while Ashwin followed her with a smile.

"Aama ippo enna padathula nadikureenga?" she asked casually while opening the door lock.

"Edhuvum illa ma, oru reality show la participate panna chance kidachirkku, thinking whether to take it up or not" he said

"Ungalukku enna thonudhu?" she asked

"Haven't decided yet, padam pannanumnu dhaan aasai, but have to survive too right? so thinking" he replied while both of them entered the house.

It was a neatly kept quite a big room with a French window on one side leading to the open terrace. Once side of the room had a small counter that could be used for a westernized kitchen, other side had a small and clean attached restroom.

"Gas illa, but you can cook using the induction stove, kutty fridge vetchukalaam inga, there is place for either an oven or toaster too, cook pannuuveengala?" she asked keeping both her hands on her hip and neck titled a bit upwards.

"Yedho, konjam konjam" he replied

"nee?" he asked 

"cooking la C kooda poda theriyaadhu" she replied proudly.

"Okay Ashwin, bye.. holler if you need anything" she said and started moving towards the entrance but stopped suddenly turned and asked him

"Aama!!! Neenga single ah commited ah?"
