Ashwin woke up to another regular day in his home and walked to kitchen and smiled at his mom who was making his favorite breakfast

Saranya: va da! Coffee?

Ak: na pottukren ma, neenga paarunga

He boiled the milk as his mom smiled and continued to chop the veggies.

Triiinng their bell rang

Ak: yaaru ivlo early ah?

Saranya: therlaye, poi paaru

Ashwin walked to their door and opened it only to find a petite woman wearing a basics tshirt and jean paired with her neon hoodie stare back at him.

Her chaste lips curved into a smile as her eyes glistened with some unknown contentment.

Sivaangi was loss of words staring back at his serene face.
(Sk mv: adipaavi mummy! Atha payan irukaan nu sonniye ivlo azhaga irupaan nu sonniya, train lendhu erangi face kooda wash panlaye)

She was cursing herself when he bent to her height

Ak: ungalathaan yaaru venum?

Sivaangi gulped trying to hide her amusement and replied him

Sk: inga veedu rent ku sollirndhen

Saranya: ada da vaa ma, broker sonnaru ne varuven nu! Ula vaada kanna

Sk mv: atha, so sweet

She smiled and came in as ashwin moved away to give her space, he saw them getting comfortable in their living room and sneaked into his bedroom to get ready for work.

Saranya atha was an instant mood lifter as she so excitedly showed her around the house

Sk: aunty na enga stay pannuven

Saranya: intha portion thaan ma
She took her upstairs, it was the way from their house to go to their terrace and a small portion stood there with a compact living room with an attached kitchen slab and a bedroom.

Saranya: entrance ne namma veetukulla vandhu dhan vara maara irukum, aama samaika theriyuma?

Sk: aiyo aunty! Enaku unga veeda safe ah thiruppi tharanum
She laughed making her laugh too

Sk: athu na vella ethachu arrange pannikren

Saranya: en vella, naanga irukum bothu

Sk: aiyo ungaluku ethuku seramam

Saranya: unaku sethu oru pudi arisi podrathula entha seramum ila, olunga engalode saapdu

Sivaangi was more than delighted to and the aura made her feel a sense of belongingness and home. They both came out and Sivaangi nearly dashed on Ashwin as he caught her elbow

Ak: paathu ma
Sivaangi gave back a sheepish smile and straightened herself

Ak: un luggage

Sk: aiyo how sweet of you! Thanks
She gave him a full toothed grin making him nod back with a meek smile and walk out.

She turned back to his mother and saw her shake her head and sigh

Saranya: avan apdi thaan ma, athigam pesa maaten aana romba chamathu

Sk: paathale theridhu
She smiled at the way he just left

Saranya: cheri da, ne fresh aaitu keela va breakfast ku

Sk: ok aunty
She closed the door and looked around, the place looked plain but traditional. So this is the residence of LOVE

She freshened and changed into a neat kurti, she was happy that her mom packed the jhumkas and bangles inspite of her arguments and clipped her fringes and let her hair loose.

She looked at herself in the mirror
(Dress up panna nalla thaan irukomo, hmm Ashwin mama ipovaachu notice pannuvara?)

She blushed in front of the mirror, took a deep breath and went down to the dining table.

Prabhu: yaaru Saranya?

Saranya: veetuku kudi varaanu sonna ponnu nga. Peru Sivaangi

Prabhu: sari sari, ukkaru ma saapdalam

Sk mv: prabhu mama!

She smiled and took the seat opposite to Ashwin. She passed a smile to him as he smiled back too probably taking in her whole appearance now.

Ashwin has never been gr8 with interactions especially with the opp gender and this girl has been looking at him in a way making his stomach flip. Her eyes held passion when he caught her elbow and the smile she passed now felt like a merry breeze.

He dint notice her face much under the hoodie and looking at her now he could say she was attractive in her own way.

Not the kind that plays an ARr song in the background but the real kind who could be an extra ray of radiance in the early dawn.

Prabhu: veedu ela ok va ma?

Sk: haan romba nallarku uncle

Prabhu: thaniya va ma vandha?

Sk: aama inga than Info group of companies la new ah join pannirken

Prabhu: irundhaalum pombala pillaya thaniya epdi unga veetla vittanga

Sk: ithu la ena iruku uncle! En amma than ena po ini konja naal thaniya independent ah iruntu va nu thorathi vitadhe, ela oru experience thaana

She shrugged showcasing her dimple and Ashwin smiled to her effortless reply and the supremacy she carried

Prabhu: hmm! Nalla pesra ma, epdiyo inga ne safe ah iruklaam enanaalum thayangaama engalta kelu

Sk: thanks uncle
She felt so lighthearted and the hospitality this family gave heavied her heart for missing it all along

Sakthi: hello! Na sakthi
A voice startled her from behind

Sk: oh hi

Saranya: bayapudatha ma! ithu konjam vaalu enga veetu kadakutty, enaku nadula oru payan Dhruv avan bangalore la work panran weekends ku varuvan

Sivaangi nodded and took a piece of dosa

Oorvashi: Anni, en kannadi paathingala

Saranya: tv mela paaru

Saranya: ithu oorvashi, en naathanaar

Sk mv: Oorvashi perima!
She smiled at her

Oorvashi: ne than antha pillaya ma, nalla latshanama irukka

Sivaangi blushed as she and Ashwin had an eyecontact making both of them avert their eyes in a swift

Raksha: Atha sema pasi! Unga deiviga kaiyala antha prasaatha tha vainga
He sat beside Ashwin as they both nudged their shoulders

Saranya: ithu Rakshan, oorvashi payyan

Sk mv: Annnae!

She saw him as he waved his hands

She looked around the dining and teared looking at the family, the days she longed for a meal like this flashed in front of her.

With her mom working hard to make a living she's mostly had her food alone at home except the dinners, she sniffed lightly and wiped the tears before anyone could notice

Saranya: aiyo! En ma romba karama, thanni kudi

Sk: aiyo ila aunty! Food super ah iruku
She showed adipoli and turned to find Ashwin looking at her intently

He raised his eyebrows and shook his head as if asking if she was ok and she smiled back nodding her head

Her phone tingled with a message

Ma: ena d? Settle aaitiya? All ok?

Sk: yes! Feels like I'm home❤
