"Shit!"

Sivaangi hissed as she touched the hot ladle. She groaned and put the ladle down, leaning over the counter. Why was cooking so hard? She stood up straight and her phone rang,

"Sollunga Ashwineyy,"

"Enga ma iruka?," his morning voice was gruff and Sivaangi regretted not being there in the room with him now.

Sivaangi hurried around the kitchen, pulling different bowls and plates for the elaborate breakfast she had prepared.

"Keezha iruken, irunga naa varen."

"Seekiram vaa," he said and Sivaangi chuckled. After receiving that horrendous package, Vishnu had advised them to take a break from everything and that he would take care of everything else. If not for days, Sivaangi wanted to at least spend this day with no murder or serial killers. Why? It was her man's birthday.

She heaved the huge tray of breakfast and walked towards the lift when she saw Master approach from the opposite direction,

"Ei? Ennadi, aduku aduka ethayo eduthutu pora?"

Sivaangi grinned excitedly, "Eduthutu pola master, naane samachen."

Master raised his eyebrows, "Yaaru? Nee? Ivalo samacha? Kalailaye poo suthariya?"

"Mother promise master!"

Master stared at the tray, "Pah vera level uh. Seri, ivalovum unnaku?"

Sivaangi sighed and said, "Naane eppadi ivalo saapda mudiyum."

"Appo yaaruku?

Sivaangi coughed as she thought of an excuse. Giving up, she said so quietly that you wouldn't have heard it,

"Avaruku."

"Eh?" Master said, bringing his ear closer. "Yaaruku?"

Sivaangi whined, "Avaruku master!"

Master laughed, "Nalla pandringa. Reunion ku unga ellaryum koopta, inga vanthu kudmbam nadathuringa. Irukatum. Seri, enna inaiku special?"

"Master! Inaiku avar birthday."

Master nodded impressedly, "Ashwin ku vantha vaazhvu. Seri nee po, keezha potudatha."

With that he helped her into the lift before waving a bye. Sivaangi hurried out of the lift, rushing towards his room and rang his bell. Few minutes later, the door opened and a very shirtless Ashwin stood.

Sivaangi widened her eyes and turned around hurriedly. Ashwin laughed, "Unna seekiram vara sonna, one hour kalichu vara."

Sivaangi squeezed her eyes shut, but only saw his shirtless image flash through her eyes, she groaned internally. "Oi rowdy, ethuku thirumbitu nikaara?"

"Shirt podunga!" Sivaangi exclaimed. Ashwin chuckled and moved forward. His fingers grazed her shoulder and a shudder ran through her. He cleared her hair off of her neck, and once he was satisfied, he nuzzled his face in the crook of her neck, sending shivers down her spine,

"Nee enna shirt illama pathathe illa?", he said, his sleepy voice. Sivaangi blushed profusely,

"Vidunga. Itha keezha potruven illana."
