Stay by my side.... 🫶 (English translation)

5. Reception and first night

Hi friends... Thought to give one more update.... I hope you r enjoying the story and the plot of the story... You might think that is it right to get a teacher and student married... But that's the crux of story.... And you will like it in future... That's my strong belief... So do keep reading... And share your thoughts via comments and vote if you like the story ... My way of writing is very much immature... I know that coz this is my first work and I don't know about writing stories... When I thought of a plot I thought to write about it with my favs as lead...

Into the story...

Sivaangi sat in the car and the car started to leave to Ashwin's home. Ashwin's parents are coming in another car and this car is driven by Ashwin's friend Pugazh and Rakshan is in the passenger seat. Sivaangi and Ashwin are sitting in the back seat.

There is an awkward silence. Sivaangi is looking out of window immersed in her own thoughts. Ashwin wanted to ask her whether she is ok as she is leaving her parents house and going to another house. But he couldn't start a conversation. Understanding his thoughts Rakshan decided to start a conversation. Also it will decrease the awkwardness in the car.

Rakshan: ma... Unnoda per enna ma...
(Dear... what is your name)

Sivaangi: Sivaangi Anna...
( Sivaangi, brother)

Rakshan liked the way she addressed him.

Rakshan: Thangam nee ippo enna padikkure.
(Thangam in tamil.means gold. It is also used to refer as "dear". Thangam what are you studying now?)

Sivaangi: Anna... Naan ungale Thangam nu koopidatta... Enakk antha name romba pudichirukk.
(Brother... can I call you thangam. I really like that name)

Rakshan: dharalama koopidu ma.

Rakshan: ama ma... Enakkum teaching romba pudikkum.

Sivaangi: sir, neenga ellarum onna college padichingala.
(Sir did you all study in same college)

Pugazh: ama ma. Nanga 4 perum ore college thaan. Angayirunthe nalla friends. Tho intha Rakshan mattum avanoda school friend.
(Yes dear. All 4 of us belong to same college. We are friends from college. This rakshan is his friend since school)

Ashwin was silently listening to all their conversation. He decided to engage in convo with all.

Ashwin: nanga ABC college ile thaan padichom. B com. Apparam MBA pannom. Ana enakkum ivanukkum teacher aakanum nn aasa .. avanukk ABC college leye Vela kedachith. Nan XYZ le apply pannen. Enakkum kedachath. Pugazh um Sharath um oru MNC le work panranga.
(We all studied b com from ABC college. Then we did MBA. me and rakshan wanted to become teachers. He got job in ABC college itself. I applied in XYZ college. I got there. Pugazha nd Sharath work in a MNC)

Sivaangi was confused about who is Pugazh and Sharath.

Seeing her confused face Ashwin understood that she don't know anyone.

Ashwin: solla marante ma... Tho car otturane.. Ivan thaan Pugazh. Appuram Ivan Rakshan. En koode ninna innoruthan thaan Sharath. Nanga ellaarum onna padichom. Ivanga 3 Peru thaan ennoda close friends.
