ONE SHOTS

platonic or practical 2

Ashwin knew where this would lead and even before he thought to distract her she said "Ashwin pls ... indha dhadavayum distract panna try pannaadheenga I need an answer "

Ashwin knew someday he have to face this question and he was actually prepared to handle her but the moment he looked at her intense doe eyes he was not able to remember anything he prepared to say.

Sivaangi asked looking straight to his eyes " What are we Ashwin ?"

Ashwin said " theriyalaye ma " while his hands were caressing her cheeks

Sivaangi " theriyalana puriyalaye . Naama enna ashwin ? Friendaa ? Wellwisheraa? Cheerleaderaa? Familyaa? Idhu edhulayume vara maatengudhe ashwin. What we share always feels beyond everything to me .what are we ?"

Ashwin looked at her and said " ennaalayum adhaanma sort panna mudila . Unaku nallave theriyum how much i yearned for my mother's embrace and shadow of my familynu. Nee ... u gave me everything back ma. Indha genie enna ketaalum kusukumnu solluvaangale andha maara. En amma akkaku aduthu naa comfortableaa iruka orey ponnuna adhu nee dhaan . En frnd, en wellwisher , en family .... i see everything and beyond everything in you..... but......"

Sivaangi " but.... whats that Ashwin ? Ellaama paakurengana then what are we ? Are we in love ?"

Ashwin "yes we love each other aana not the way you think. Unaku epdi solli puriya vaikuradhunu enaku therla ma. Naa unta oru frnda mattum paathurundha may be enaku apdi thonirukumo ennavo . Love would be an understatement to what you mean in my life. Nee oru angel ma divine and much much precious .
Nee andha nila maari ma Unna naa dhoorathularndhu rasikalaam aana ennoda vachukanumnu eduthukita andha nilavoda velicham enakkum illaama yaarukum illaama poirum ."

Sivaangi looked at him hurt and asked " enna pudikalaya ?"

Ashwin nodded no and said " vaarthaila adaka mudiyaadha alavuku pudichadhaala dhaa ennaala edhume solla mudiyalama "

Sivaangi knew his answer and he knew that she understood his answer.
Sivaangi " appo naa vera paiyana kalyanam pannikita ungaluku okva ?"

Ashwin was silent . He dont know what to react for this . Neither did he know the answer for this .she didnt stop with that she continued " seri enaku kooda years iruku appo paathukalaam ungaluku ponnu paakuraangale appo are you ready to marry and share your life with someone else ?"

Ashwin was again silent he actually just before a day said his family to not disturb him for next 3 years as he is confused as well need to establish in his career"

Ashwin "  ipodhaiku illama niruthi vachuruka sollirken"

Sivaangi smiled at him and he knew what that smile meant . After that they didnt have any convo . He knew that he conveyed his mindset to her and she knew what he meant and they knew something is not gonna be the same between them from now on .

The car started and he played  sakkarai nilave song

November maatha mazhaiyil naan nanaiven endren
Enakum kooda nanaithal miga pidikkum endraai
Mottaimaadi nilavil naan kulipen endren
Enakum antha kuliyal miga pidikkum endraai

Sugamana kural yaar endral susheela-vin kural endren
Enakum antha kuraliletho mayakam ena nee sonnai
Kangal moodiya budhar silai
En kanavil varuvathu pidikkum endren
Thayakam enbathae sirithumindri
Athu enakum enakum thaan pidikkumendraai
Adi unakum unakum ellam pidikka
Ennai yen pidikkaathendraai...

They both remembered the times they were proudly sharing about their common interests and at the end of last line Sivaangi turned towards ashwin with a hint of pain in her eyes while Ashwin looked at her with pain and guilt. The car stopped in front of her home and it was time for her to get down . She knew that this isnt going tp be the same the moment she steps out of the car and he knew the same. After 5 mins as she was about to open the car Ashwin held her wrist and pulled her towards him. She landed on his chest and the sound of his heart beat calmed her racing mind with fresh tears coming out of her eyes while ashwin was calming his self through her feminine fragrance .

He knew he cant miss this and she knew she cant miss this . After 5 mins they broke from the hug and ashwin wiped her tears with his thumb . He looked straight to her eyes and said " sivaangima nee ketadhuku nejamaave enta ipo answer illa aana we both know we will get it . Its just matter of time . Lets take our time and when things fall in place lets think about it . But now its not the right time. Atleast am not ready "

Sivaangi held his thumb and said "nila vaanathula azhaga brightaa irukuradhuku naal muzhuka adhuku sooriyanoda velicham venum Ashwin . I will wait ." With a brief silence she asked " may i wait ?"

Ashwin knew that this is gonna be a commitment and he is in position to answer her now . He wordlessly leaned in and kissed her forehead softly . He have kissed her forehead numerous times before but this felt different , magical and promising . While he parted away both of their face had a contented smile afterall they got their answer and they will wait for their answer ."

everything has an answer and every bond has a destination its just a matter of time. Be practical as well as patient to experience magic in life .
