Ashwin came home from work to see his family running around the house, packing.
He caught Rakshan by his shoulders

Ak: dei, ena da paraparappa iruku?

Rak: nalaiku oor kovil ku porom ah! Athaan ela eduthu vachuttu irukaanga

Ashwin went to kitchen and saw his amma and atha arranging the flowers

Ak: ena ma thideernu

Saranya turned her face and continued her work pouting making him sigh

Ak: atha, neengalaachu sollunga

Oorvashi: athan pa, namma kovil kumbabishegam thalli vachaanga lndha vaaram panradha ipo than phone vandhuchu adhaan ela ready pantu irukom. Naalaiku early morning kelembi sani nyaayuru iruntu vandhurvom

Saranya: apdiye antha vishayathayum sollu

Ak: ena vishayam

She left the kitchen to Pooja room and Ashwin went to his room bewildered with all the happenings.

Dhruv came home for dinner to join the family to go to their native temple and the boys gang settled in the terrace conversing random things.

Dhruv: aama Sivaangi enga? Aale paaka mudiyala

Sakthi: odambu sarilla nu sonna, food eh nan room ku poi than kuduthen

Rak: aama, paapa iniki work ku kuda pola

Ashwin stood listenong to them as he recalled the events of last night. He hadn't seen her after that and his heart felt defective.

The boys went down after sometime and Ashwin found himself standing in front of her portion contemplating whether to knock. He found the door was unlocked and opened it slightly.

He stood in her living room looking around at the colors she added to their otherwise dull and unmaintained portion. The cluster of butterflies she painted in their wall and the aesthetics of sceneries occupying the opposite side. A sheet of paper caught his eyes in the tv stand and he opened them to find the title

"Vennilavum ponninathiyum💫🌠"

He felt a stirring feeling inside understanding the title of her song as he stood there frozen, too overwhelmed to move.
