Ethir Parka Villai

Chapter 12

It was Friday the week had come to an end and Malar was sitting in her office, busily typing away. She had been so caught up at Anirudh's studio that she still had pending work to do. After how it ended with Shwetha yesterday, she didn't want to be on her bad side.

Ravi, Aarav, Pooja, and Ramya had gone out to get lunch, and she didn't feel so hungry so she stayed back. She received the notification sound on her phone and looked down to see...

 Anirudh ❤️

A smile came on her face as she shook her head and remembered the first time they met and how he had saved himself on her phone.

Anirudh: Saptacha?

Malar: noo, I'm not hungry

Anirudh: that's not a reason not to eat... go and eat

Malar: ayyy it's ok pa I'm not hungry also I'm busy I don't have time to go buy now.

Anirudh: seriously why did I give you a leave today? At least odamba pathuko.

Malar smiles at his nagging.

Malar:  veetuku poi spatukaran ne

Anirudh: seri do what you want

Malar: are you angry?

Malar sighs in frustration when she doesn't get a response.Sapdama irrukaruthalam oru prechanai ah she thought to herself. She closes her phone before trying to focus back on work.

After about half an hour she looks up to see a commotion. The employees are shocked to see Anirudh sauntering in. He looked handsome with his sunglasses perched on his nose and messy hair. Malar shook off the thought before wondering what he was doing here.

Just as Anirudh was about to enter Malar's cabin, Shwetha stops him.

"Heyy Ani. You're here for me aren't you?", Shwetha asks placing her hand on his arm

Without letting him get a word in she continues, "Oh, of course, you are what am I even asking?Is that lunch for me?"

She goes to grab the bag he was holding and but he moves it out of her reach before moving away from her.

"I came for Malar actually. Neenga lunch rendu vaati sapiduvingala?", Anirudh asks.

"Why?", Shwetha asks confused.

He points at her hand which she hadn't washed after eating instead she had come running to see Anirudh.

Shwetha blushes in embarrassment as Malar gasps inside her cabin. She controls her laugh before leaning out and dragging Anirudh inside and closing the door.

She burst out laughing while Anirudh looks at her amused.

"Did you really have to do that?", Malar asks in between her laugh.

Anirudh shrugs before sitting on the chair opposite Malar's table. Malar goes back to her seat behind the screen to continue her work.

"You have to eat", he says before pulling up a chair next to her and opening a box of curd rice.

He places it in front of Malar who is busily typing away.

"Eat", he orders her. She doesn't look up.

"Sapdu", he tells her once again. Malar just tsks.

"Malarvizhi", he says warning her one last time.

She looks up annoyed and snaps at him, "enna venum huh?"

She looks back at her laptop and sighs realizing she was rude, she looks up to say sorry and her eyes widen in surprise.

"Sapdu di", Anirudh says holding a spoon to her mouth.

Malar silently eats not wanting to anger him. He sits beside her silently and feeds her as she finishes her work. After she finishes eating he closes the container and gets up to go making Malar hold his hand and pull him back down to the chair.

She pouts and says, "Work tension. Sorry"

Anirudh nods once before going to get up again.

She pulls him back down and whines, "Ayy sorry sonnele.Pesu."

Anirudh sighs before saying, "It's ok"

"Sit", Malar orders him pointing to the chair next to her.

He sighs but does as she says. She reaches up to arrange his messy hair and he stares at her in surprise.

Malar asks him," are you free today or do you have to go to the studio?"

"Free dhan yen.", Anirudh asks.

Malar claps her hands, "good then you can stay here and watch me do my work."

Anirudh whines, "Can't we go out somewhere?"

Malar glares at him making him gulp.

"But I'll be bored.", Anirudh says.

"Then go home", Malar says.

"No", Anirudh says.

"Then stay", Malar shrugs.

"No", Anirudh says making Malar glare at him once again making him shut up.

On the other side, In a coffee shop, Ayira and Arjun sit tucked away in the corner.

"Few weeks ku this might be the last time I see you", Arjun says whining to Ayira, "Padam shooting romba busyah podhu." 

Ayira smiles shaking her head, "Concentrate on your work too, namba dhan anyways chat panromle."

Arjun shakes his head and says, "Chatting is not fun. I can't see you when I talk to you."

Ayira hides her smile before shaking her head at him and muttering, "Flirt"

Arjun hears it and says, "Oh please, Anirudh is worse than me.Malar dhan Paavam"

Ayira giggles, "Oh please. Malar oru kutty sathan madri.She can act cute to get what she wants but also be an absolute devil. But she cares a lot about people who are close to her and she will always apologize if she's wrong. She has her own problems too. Everyone does."

Arjun raises his eyebrows in surprise, "Anirudh might appear fun and relaxed to people but everyone has a past and so does he.But avunga rendu perum ona irundha they are good together."

Ayira nods in agreement. Just in time, the waiter arrives placing their coffees in front of them.

Arjun reaches for the coffee cup but pulls his hand back with a gasp when it burns him.

"Ay pathu thoda mattiya", Ayira scolds him before holding his hand and blowing on his fingers.

"I like it", Arjun says looking at her, holding his hand.

She gives him a fake glare, hiding her blush before dropping his hand.

"Coffee ya kudi", she says before sipping her own coffee making Arjun laugh.
