Into the story...

Ashwin and Sivaangi got on the bus and arranged the luggage. They checked the seat numbers and it was 2 adjacent seats. Since it's a sleeper bus you got to lie down and the seats are Continuous with no separation.

They sat in their seats and the bus started

They sat in their seats and the bus started. Both were sitting and was hesitating to lie down.

Ashwin: Sivaangi... Nee paduthukko.. nan vere seat kedakkuma nn paakure.
(Sivaangi you can lie down. I'll see if I can get another seat)

Sivaangi: sir... Ungalkk prechana illena neengalum inagaye paduthukkonga. Namma adjust pannikalam.
(Sir if you don't have any problem you can sleep here itself. We can adjust)

Ashwin: illa ma... Ath...
(Not that.. still...)

Sivaangi: sir .. enakk prechana edhuvum illa. Ungalkk iruntha neega vere seat kettukonga. Illati ingaye padunga
(Sir.... I don't have any problem.. if u have any issues you can ask for another seat. Otherwise pls lie down here itself. )

Ashwin: sari ma...
(Okay)

They both lied down facing the opposite side. Ashwin kept a pillow between them and lied down. Soon sleep engrossed them.

Ashwin was the first person to wake up the next day early morning. He noticed that he was holding Sivaangi's hand above the pillow. Slowly he withdrew his hand and sat upright. Within few minutes Sivaangi also woke up and by around 5 am they reached Chennai. They got down after taking the luggages. Ashwin hired a cab and both of them left to Ashwin's house.

In 15 mins they reached Ashwin's house. He was staying in a 2BHK flat. After getting down the luggage and paying for the taxi they went up taking the luggage. His flat was in the 4th floor and they took the lift and went up. On reaching the flat he opened the door and called Sivaangi inside.

Ashwin: Sivaangi nan Inga thaan thangure. Namma college ingernthu oru 20 mins ile vanthurum. Inga 2 bedrooms irukk. Ath master bed room and ith innoru bedroom. Nan ippo master bedroom le thaan thangiyirukke. Nee antha room eduthukko. Nan innoru bedroom kk shift aakure.
(Sivaangi I stay here. It's 20 mins away from our college. There are 2 bedrooms here. That's the master bedroom and this is another bedroom. Now I stay in master bedroom. You can take that room. I'll shift to the other room.)

Sivaangi: ath venam sir. Nan innoru bedroom le irunthukkire.
(No need of that sir. I'll take the other bedroom)

Ashwin: master bedroom thaan perusu ma. Nee Ange irunthukko
(Matar bedroom is more spacious. You can take that)

Sivangi: paravalla sir. Enakk neraya saaman ellam kedayath. Enakk antha room pothum sir. Neenga ethayum shift panna vendam sir.
(It's ok sir. I don't have much luggage. So that room is sufficient for me. You don't have to shift anything sir)
