A smile graced his rosy lips when he opened the tiffin,
' oru nimisham iru!' he told her and Srishti noticed how suave he was in his black shirt and tailored black slacks that made him impossibly handsome , Adhiran entered the room again with two cups of coffee and handed her one,
' Idhu pudi.. stay and share with me!' he chuckled and nodded at her as he looked at the tiffin with so much adoration. Srishti's cheeks crimsoned feeling the moment,
He gestured her to sit on the other side of the desk and waited till she sat before taking a seat in front of her,
'To what do I owe the pleasure?' he watched her with intense eyes, gauging her reaction,
Srishti couldn't look into his eyes and buried her nose in her coffee,
'Illa.. application process la enaku neenga neraya help panninga… also the saree…
Ungluku proper ah thanks sollanum nu thonuchu athunaala dha..
It would've so hard without you' she told him , sincerely,
His face remained serious, ' we both help each other ,Sasha.. na edhumae expect panla '
'Illa.. athu..'
' Nalla iruku idhu… Ne saapadu koduthu thanks soldrathu
Ipdi cook panna kaalam muzhuka help panite irukalam polaruke ' he told her, his smile lighting up his features,
Srishti blushed looking down and distracted herself with her coffee,
' jokes apart Sasha ma but as much as I appreciate your cooking, I don't want you to strain because of me…
Ne kashta pattu dha na taste ah saapudnum nu illa' he told her with earnest eyes and Srishti 's heart felt like it'd burst into particles if he kept on showering so much kindness on her,
'Hey.. Athela onnu illa ma.. ' Srishti bit her lips , trying to cover her slip up, 'Athu.. Kashtam laam illa..
Na nethu amma bakery ku poirunthen.. anga oruthar ku family emergency ndrathunaala enna help ku kooptaanga. I hope you don't mind' she told him ,
' Sasha.. enna paaren ' he whispered softly, his voice softer than velvet,
She did as she was told and gazed into his eyes, Adhiran's beautiful brown eyes were her definition of divinity,
' I really don't mind' he told her, his eyes smiling with his luscious lips,
' Okay' Srishti's lips twitched, ' Enaku amma Bakery romba pudichiruku.. She has taught me so much! She's amazing, Professor Adhiran!'
'Amma… he whispered with an adorable smile, ' Avangla maathiri na oruthara paathathu illa. And I'm really happy you both get along so well!
Unkita na onnu kekanum' he told her, his eyes finding hers effortlessly,
' Kelunga'
Adhiran took a sip of his coffee as he leaned back on his chair, his eyes bore into hers. perhaps he sought something that only belonged to him and she wasn't aware?
' Nallaiku Oxford University la oru Literary convention nadaka poguthu.. and I'm one of the speakers.
Idha na kekalama therila.. and I know it's a weekend.. But I wish for you to accompany me..
Unaku campus oda oru feel kedaikum.. anga irukuravangloda oru exposure irukum..
And yes, Un Vaazhnaal la extra one hour ne ennoda lecture ah kaadhu valika kekara maathiri irukum' Adhiran giggled melodiously,
Of hearts and homes
Start from the beginning
