Sivaangi came to room to see that Ashwin was also thinking about something.

Sivaangi: ennach Ashwiney... Enna yosikkure..
(What happened Ashwiney... what are you thinking about?)

Ashwin: ath... Onnum illa.... Nee bed le thoongu naan couch le padukkure...
(That... nothing.... you sleep on the bed.. I'll sleep in couch)

Sivaangi: 2 weeks couch la padukka poriya.... Athellam vena.. neenga bed la padunga...theva na naan couch la padukkure... En height ku couch correct size thaan...
(Are you going to sleep in couch for 2 weeks... no need for that... you can sleep on bed... if you want I'll sleep kn couch... the couch size is correct for my height)

Ashwin: athellam vena ma... Naane padukkure... Unakkath uncomfortable aa irukkum...
(No need ma.. I'll sleep there... it will be uncomfortable for you)

Sivaangi: ungalkk irukkatha....
(Won't it be for you?)

Ashwin: paravalla....
(Its ok)

Sivaangi: sari ungalkkum vena enakkum vena... Namma 2 perum bed laye padukkalame... Bed perusa thaane irukku...
(Leave it... both of us will sleep in bed... the bed is large enough)

Ashwin: illa... Unakk ath ok va... Ethum uncomfortable aa illela
(Not that.. are you ok with it... is it uncomfortable?)

Sivaangi: athellam illa... Namma bedlaye padukkalam... Neenga vanthu padunga...
(Nothing like that.. we'll sleep in bed itslef... you come and lie down)

Sivaangi took right side of bed and laid down. Ashwin too lied down. They laid down at 2 ends of bed with ample space between them. They didn't place any pillows in between. Ashwin switched off the light and both slept.

Next day morning sivaangi woke up early and noticed that they both were lying close to each other facing each other. She blushed at their position. Then slowly got up and went to do her morning chores. She woke up and came back and noticed Ashwin trying to wake up. He slowly woke up and the first thing he saw was sivaangi wiping her wet hair. He smiled at her... Then got up from bed and went to fresh up. Sivaangi went down and sometime later Ashwin too went down

Sivaangi had made coffee for everyone. Her MIL also came to kitchen and saw the prepared coffees... She took coffee for her and her husband and went to give him. During this time Ashwin came to kitchen and took coffee..

Ashwin: sivaangi... Nee night nalla thoongniya... Ethum prechana illela...
(Sivaangi... did you sleep well at night...no issues right)

she suddenly remember their position in morning and blushed. Then replied.

Sivaangi: athellam illa... Naan nalla thaan thoongne... Entha prechanayum illa.
(Nothing like that... I slept well... no issues)

Ashwin smiled at her and took his coffee and went outside. He saw his parents were having coffee and discussing something. Seeing him, his mother left to kitchen to prepare breakfast. Sivaangi had almost prepared the breakfast. Sometime later they sat to have breakfast. Ad and Ashwin was having breakfast when Am was nudging Ad to tell something. Ad finally started the convo.

Ad: Ashwin neenga ennaik thirumba poringa..
(Ashwin when are you guys heading back?)

(Next Sunday dad)

Ad: naanga next Friday oru function nadathalamnu irukkom.
(We are thinking about conducting a function next Friday.)

Ashwin: enna function pa...
