Hello Makkalae,
I am back with Chapter 4 – Cuteness & Hotness of #KadavulSetting | An #AshAangi Fanfiction Written in Tanglish.
I'd like to thank my constants (you know who...) as well as all the new readers for hoping in and reading the story in one shot and of course, to my champions-eyy (you know who...) Nandrigal 🙏
Without much further ado, let's dive (Manda pathiram) into the story!
†****************†
Ashwin says to himself, "Ellam Kadavul Setting, Ashwin-eyy!" He sleeps like a cute baby. Sivaangi occupies his brain, heart and what not... the whole body... while he is awake as well as in his dreams that night. He keeps smiling all the night even while sleeping.
In the morning Ashwin gets up a bit late. He hurries to get ready and reach office so that he can spend time with Sivaangi. In a jiffy he misses to take note of the photograph and the morning message (sticky notes are of great help) from Sree.
He connects the Bluetooth to his mobile phone. Makes a call to Sarath..."Partner, konjam thoongiten. Naan oru 11'o clock office vanthuduven. By any chance did you meet Sivaangi in the office?"
"Enna partner... maarita.. nee ippadi pesara aalu illayey. Ellam Okay Thaanae." Sarath never misses an opportunity to tease Ashwin.
"Kondruven.... naan ketathiku bathil sollu partner." Ashwin speaks at a high tone before starting the bike.
"Morning... cafe la thaan Partner parthen. Black and Golden Mix Dress. Oru 'Hi' solli ungala pathi visarichanga... ithu pothuma Partner?" Sarath speaks in a baby tone.
"Nee enna bathil soona?" Ashwin speaks losing his patience.
"Avaru konjam workla busy. Evening free ayidivaru... appavena he will be in the cafe nu sonnen." Sarath mimics the baby voice again.
"Unna vechu oru urugai kooda poda mudiyathu Partner. Avanga evalavu interest oda vanthu enna pathi kekaranga. Nee ennadana ippa antha palapona velai mukkiyum maari pathil solli iruka. Unna vanthu seiyaran irru." Ashwin applies the break of the bike at the signal. He is like this. He follows rules on the road. He maintains queue when in any place. He is non-alcoholic and non-smoker. Moreover, he is very good at heart.
As soon as he reaches office, he runs to the cabin to drag Sarath to the cafe. However, his boss calls him for a meeting. They speak a lot about the project and the current escalations. Though Ashwin's heart is filled with Sivaangi, he has no other option but to listen to his boss and answer him patiently. That day being the toughest day he spends all the time inside the meeting room except for the odd visits to the restroom. Even snacks, coffee and cool drinks are delivered inside the meeting room itself.
Such is IT life. He curses himself.
At around seven in the evening, his boss leaves office after finishing off the presentation. Ashwin must add few more details before he can share the PPT with his boss. It takes around 30 to 40 minutes to finalize and send the presentation to his boss.
"Enna Partner summa sonna unmailyila work la ivalavu busy ayita." Sarath mocks him.
"I will kill you for sure. Va.. Cafe-iku pogalam." Ashwin drags Sarath by the collar. That shows the closeness of their friendship.
"Partner... Mother Teresa veetiku poitanga. Oru 6 mani irukkum... avanga cafe irunthu kalambum pothu." Sarath keeps it short.
"Nee enna pannitu iruntha appa?"
"Namba Sunita kitta kadala potitu iruthen partner."
"Avanga kitta enna sonnen."
"Sir romba busy-a irukaru. Nallaiku kalaila vena appointment kadaikum sonnen." Sarath speaks in the baby tone.
"Unna appadiya thooki ground floor la podata. Athu enna sir. busy. appointment. ellam. Ithu thevailla build-up illa?" Ashwin drags him near the open way.
"Partner kola case ulla ponna... appa Sree oda vazhkai... cha... Sivaangi oda vazhkai?"
"Un vaiyaala thaanda nee kasta pada pora. Seri va... namba poi coffee kudikalam."

On the other end Sree is making a video call to her sister Pavi after completing the work.
"Looks like someone has logged off early today. Enna video call la pannara? Maama Enga?" Pavi speaks the moment the call connects.
"Enga iruka?" Sree keeps it simple.
"Room la thaan. Appa veliyila thaan irukaru. Koopidata." Asks Pavi.
"Illa da venam. Avaru photo vachu irukiya?"
"Illa ka... mobile phone crash ayidichu. Photos ellam pochu. Namba photographer edutha photo kaga waiting. But... nee en photova kekara mama anga vachi kittu?"
"Illa da... nanga innum oruthara oruthar paakala. pesala." Before Sree completes Pavi interrupts "Appa ethuvum nadakala ya?"
"Oye vaalu... avariku intha marriage interest illa ma. Marriage ayidichu endra kadapula irukaru. So, naan avara disturb pannala. Intha oru varathulla naanga communicate pannaratha sticky notes thaan. Morning ennoda photova vachen oru message oda. Avaru pathitu eduvumey sollala....?"
"Iyo pavamae... Enakka... Appadinu solla maaten. Nee enna message kudutha?"
"Let's be friends. Shall we talk tonight?"
"Okay akka. Naan vena oru idea tharatuma?"
"Sollu da."
"Enooda guess enna na... he did not take note of the photo / note. So ennoda photova vai... appadiya antha sticky note la... Me and my sister are not twins, but we lookalike sollu."
"En da?" Sree is curious to know why?
"Enna avaru romba smart-a irukaru. Unakum intha marriage la interest illa. Avarukkum intha marriage la interest illa. But naan interested-a iruken. So en photo pudichuduna.. naan katikiren." Pavi teases Sree but she takes it seriously and she does the same. Sree thinks that will do a lot of good to her.
Sree's father walks-in and they converse for a few minutes. Afterwards Sree also speaks to Subramaniyan uncle and makes sure he is also happy.
***
After the coffee, Ashwin leaves for home. He decides to skip the dinner. As soon as he reaches home, he goes to the terrace to stargaze for some time.
Late in the night, he walks into the home and notices the photo and note. He writes, "You look great. Stay the same, flatmate. Keep Smiling!"
When the time is about to strike eleven he gets a message on WhatsApp. "Hey Busy-bee! What's up?"
Guess who... it is from Sivaangi. Ashwin cannot control his happiness. He responds, "Hey... Eppadi en number ungaliku kadaicthithu?"
"Athellam suspense!"
"Did Sarath give?"
"En ithana kelvi? Are you happy that I am texting you or not?"
In mind he's like "Naana introvert. Ippa paaru therika vidaren." Also he feels comfortable with Sivaangi. And so, Ashwin types, "Of course, I am happy!", and sends a happy selfie to her with the custom digital background. "I clicked this photo exclusively for you. A Warm Welcome Selfie!"
For almost couple of minutes the WhatsApp screen shows, "Sivaangi is typing..." And Ashwin is like what is she doing all this time?
"Someone is looking dashing! Full hand tee in the night? Because of the climate? Watch - brand enna? Just now? Background la garden na?"
"Thanks... Oru photo la ivalavu details iruka?"
"Okay okay... I am a good observer."
"He he he... Look at this photo then." He types, thinks for a minute... 'he is married and is not right to entertain someone else and then decide against it. Anyways he cannot imagine a life with Sree, and so divorce is the only choice, and he is okay with that. He clicks on send. He justifies to himself saying, "Anyway, it is on Instagram."
WhatsApp shows Sivaangi is typing for almost five minutes.
To be continued 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
