The Chosen One

Chapter 9 -Beach, beach, beach

"Please de please de, en chellam la, konjam help. I am completely clueless, first time dating ma, konjamaavadhu impress aaganum la" begged Sivaangi with a cute pout to her twin via video call

"Pesaama Ashwin kittaye keka vendiyadhu dhaane, he has better styling sense than me" replied Mika reluctantly, knowing the pain it will cause her if she gets involved.

"Kettene, mkkmmm" she cleared her throat as if getting ready for a stage show

"Unakku edhu comfortable ah irukko adha pottuka, it is not like we are seeing each other for the first time, in fact I have already seen and adored you in every single costume starting from pyjamas to your sloppy tracks to award function level evening gown. So regardless of what you wear, I will get impressed." she repeated Ashwin's words trying to mimic his base voice.

"Adhukkaaga naan pyjama la poga mudiyuma?" asked Sivaangi coming back to her normal voice.

"Seri po, go and open my wardrobe" replied Mika with a smile trying to hide the huge stone in her heart

Mika looked around her wardrobe once and told her

"Take that red off shoulder dress" she said

"Idhuva? ayo enakku idhellaam suit aagadhu Mika" whined Sivaangi

"Naan solradha kekariya illa naan vekkatuma" asked Mika sternly

"Seri seri kochukaadha, sollu enna paanatum?" asked Sivaangi in a surrendering tone

Mika gave her the instructions, Sivaangi followed it to the T against all her inhibitions.

When she wore everything Mika assembled for her as a trial and looked herself in the mirror, her mouth fell open

"Eppadi irukku?" asked Mika proud of her own job

"I look like you Mika, naan enna maari ketta nee unna maari ready pannirkka enna, Ashwin nee nenachu confuse aagida poraaru.. he he" said Sivaangi with a giggle

Just then Mika too realized her mistake, subconsciously she had made Sivaangi ready like she would have gotten ready for her first date with Ashwin.

She felt a twisted knife in her heart knowing that can never happen

"Correct de artificial ah irukku, it doesn't have the Sivaanginess, lets try something else"  said Mika looking at her wardrobe via the camera again.

It was a serene evening, the wind was having fun playing with his well set hair, the sunset along the horizon made the ambience look even more pleasant. 

Ashwin was sitting there setting his hair looking at his mobile camera alone, waiting for her to join him.

He had come directly from his shoot and Sivaangi had said she will directly meet him at the restaurant

His mind was creating images of her in all possible casual costumes when she came walking, knocking his breath completely out of him

She was wearing a lilac colored georgette full length flowy skirt, paired up with pure white, boat necked crop top in hakoba fabric. She had straightened her hair and pushed it completely to one side of her shoulder.

Ashwin was continuously staring at her in a trance when she noticed him

"Hi Ashwineyy" she squealed with a frantic wave, came and sat opposite to him.

"Sorry ma, late aagiduchu, traffic la maatikiteen, indha driver anna vum late pannitaaru, enakku theriyum, neenga tired ah, pasi oda iruppeenga, order panniteengala? " she continued yapping looking around the ambience not noticing that not even single word that left her mouth had reached Ashwin's ear.
