Sivaangi and Ashwin were seated in his car and ashwin was observing his rowdy being unusually silent . Sivaangi was mentally preparing herself on how to initiate the conversation as this is going to be her nth attempt on discussing about the future of their bond . Everytime she starts off the convo Ashwin effortlessly distracts her or she herself change the topic to avoid the embarassment but this time she was sure that she should clear the air atleast for her mental peace .

Ashwin turned on the music system which made her jerk up while Ashwin asked ennaachuma ? Are you ok?

Sivaangi " enakkenna naa ok dhaa ashwineyy "

Ashwin looked at her and nodded his head right and left saying " illaye en rowdy ivlo neram amaidhiya iruka maataale ."

Sivaangi's heart flustered at the mention of EN ROWDY but she controlled it and said " adhellaam onnumillama konjam pesanum pola irundhuchu "

Ashwin understood that by this time she needs silence to compose herself as she is thinking something deep and hesitating to openup . He wordlessly nodded his head and drove towards a destination while Sivaangi was immersed in her thoughts failed to keep a track on the destination.

After an hour the car halted at a place and sivaangi looked up to see where he have took her . It was their favourite spot.... a secluded private beach.He takes her here while she is extremely happy or disturbed to calm her mind and it have worked well so far.  She looked at him with a smile and her heart overwhelmed with the way he understood her every moves and her heart was just screaming to make him say a yes for her confession.

He smiled at her and opened the car door while she got down and the cold sea breeze made her rub her arm while ashwin stood beside her with both his hands in his pocket.

She smiled at him while he signalled her to walk forward by extending his hands. She smiled and went forward .
Sivaangi "shoot epdi pochu Ashwineyy ?"

Ashwin " Adhu romba nalla pochuma . Innaiku we did a stunt "

Sivaangi " sonneengale doop potruvaanga 10th floorla irundhu swimming poolla gudhikura shotnu "

Ashwin looked at her and said "adhe dhaa aana doop panravarku unexpectedaa fracture aanadhaala naane panniten "
He said it with atmost enthusiasm while she looked at him with terrified eyes . She turned towards him and started checking his hands and face for any hurt and when she found a scratch in his forehead she started loosing her cool.

Tears were brimming in his eyes and she said "en Ashwin ipdi panreenga ? Doop illena innoru naal schedule pannirukalaame shoota evlo risk.... edhaavadhu ayrundha ?"

Ashwin was actually expecting an excited " Super Ashwineyy from her but this was totally unexpected for him and the tears in her eyes were pricking his heart. He held her face between his palms and said " hey hey idhukellaama azhuvaanga enaku onnumillama "

Sivaangi " enna onnumillama adhaan foreheadla scratch aagiruke . En enkitta idha sollala ?sollirndha poi solliyaachu inaiku shoot poga vidaama ukkara vachurupen"

Ashwin was a little irritated by her words . He knew she was blabbering out of concern and affection but this is  a part of his profession and he wasnt able to digest the fact that his number one cheerleader was actually opposing something which he is proud of . He held her face and madr her look at him and said " Sivaangima innaiku naa idhukaaga packup sonna producer anga set wrk panravanganu evlo.lose ? Proper precautionsoda dhaa panne and as an actor just dancing and romancing alone is not my job. I have to take such risks and its part of my career. I dont like my cheerleader getting down for such small things "

Sivaangi held his hands against her cheek and closed her eyes and she knew it was the moment . She opened her eyes and said " naa verum wellwisheraa  cheerleaderaa mattum irundha idhuku bayaptruka maaten ashwin "

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 .
