Heaven Sent (Ashaangi OS)

Moodswings

It's over. I don't want to be your girlfriend anymore. She messaged him.

Sivaangi was angry at Ashwin for not paying attention to what she was saying and was busy playing PS. She was tired of having a relationship with a guy who prioritises PS over her. When they first started dating, it felt like he was the best boyfriend in the whole world. Four months back, as a new boyfriend, he was ready to speak to her over phone the whole night, giving his undivided attention without complaining. Today, he paid no attention to her when she called to surprise him, fully glued to his PS. She sat on her bed, sobbing like a child.

"You are the meanest boyfriend, Ashwineyy. I don't want you. Nee un PS ah kattitte iru. Naa edhukku unakku. I HATE YOU!!!", she thought out loud.

----

Blame it on her PMS, she craved to eat brownies after lunch. Her first thought was to order it online but suddenly an idea struck her head. She decided to bake it herself and send some to her boyfriend, the second runner up in a cookery show. Perfect role reversal, she thought. He would always bake brownies and cupcakes and send it to his beloved girlfriend every time she said she craved it. He loved cooking for her.

Today she thought it was her turn to surprise him. She watched a couple of videos on youtube, managed to convince her mother to allow her into the kitchen and she was all set for baking. She stood right next to the oven until the timer bleeped, watching her brownies getting baked.

Sivaangi, you are great. He is surely going to love it. If the way to a man's heart is indeed through his stomach, I am sure his heart is mine with these brownies. Ashwineyy, you are a lucky man! She thought as she tasted a piece of her freshly baked brownies, lifting up her imaginary collar.

She quickly decided to make a video call to him to show what a fantastic job his girlfriend has done. He picked up the call but did not meet the screen of the phone.

"Sollu ma. Edhukku call panna?" he said with his eyes still glued to the game he was playing.

"I baked brownies for you ashwineyy. Enakku sapadanum nu aasaya irundhuchu, I made it myself and decided to send you some. Inga paaru epdi irukku nu", she focused the camera on the brownies.

"Damn it. Cha. How did I lose that!!" he cried.

"Ashwin. I am talking to you. Can you please look at me?" she asked angrily.

"Ma, I will lose the game if I look at your screen. Nee pesu naa kekkuren."

Sivaangi was angry. She baked brownies for him and he did not even bother looking at them over the video call.

I should have just ordered it online. Theva illama I baked it and thought I should send it to him. This guy doesn't deserve it, she thought.

"I am cutting the call now Ashwin. I am not interested in talking to you. If you ever find time off your PS, call me", she said indignantly.

"Ok ma I'll call you later. I am busy now. Bye, Take care", he blew a name sake kiss before cutting the call.

Sivaangi could not be more angered. Not only did he not pay attention to what she said, he had no clue that she was angry with him.

Indha kiss onnu dhan korachal, she thought. Kiss enakka illa PS ka nu therila. Moonji camera pakkam kooda thirumbala, idhula ummah vera. Cha. Damn the brownies.

She stormed out of the kitchen and locked herself in the room.

She was annoyed with him. Why would she not be? He was the most loving boyfriend initially. Every time she was going through PMS or was on her period, he would always make her feel happy. Brownies, cupcakes, muffins and what not- he understood her cravings even before she said it out. Four months down the line, he has changed. She missed him. She missed them. His shoot schedules has kept him very busy that they have hardly had time for themselves. A day off from shoot, she thought he will prioritise spending time with her over his PS. Her mood swings have been quite difficult. She was finding it difficult to handle it herself. Her eyes welled up thinking about all this. She knew that he loved his PS time a lot. She has never disturbed his PS time but today she really wanted him to understand how much she wanted to spend with him.
