Ashaangi SS Entwined

Chapter Thirteen

Adorning a bright smile on her lips, Sivaangi walked inside the room with a glass of milk. With her filled partition, yellow thread around her neck and free hair pinned with jasmine flowers, she looked beautiful and fresh.

Ashwin ran his appreciative gaze over Sivaangi before locking eyes with her as she walked towards him. His lips curled into an appreciative smirk as he eyed her before averting his gaze.

Sivaangi wearing mangalsutra and sindoor on his name, that elicited an overwhelming feeling within Ashwin. Warmness seeped through his heart as his insides kept screaming that she is his wife.

"Indhanga Ashwin" Sivaangi said extending her hand with milk glass towards Ashwin who looked up at her.

Ashwin took a sharp intake of breath when he saw Sivaangi up close. Her kohled eyes twinkling with happiness made his throat went dry. With his eyes staring into her, he got the glass from her and averted his gaze from her.

'Yenna kannu da!' Ashwin thought to himself before he shook his head slightly and started drinking the milk.

Two sips into the milk, Ashwin paused before looking at the glass and then at Sivaangi with his eyebrows scrunched in confusion.

"White chocolate milk ah?" Ashwin asked surprised.

"Ama, Ashwineyy" Sivaangi smiled widely and fondly said, "Enaku verum milk pidikathu sonen, athan Shakee maa while chocolate ready panitanga"

"Avanga ku ethuku kastam?" Ashwin said taking a sip.

"Master, Shakee maa la irundhu annanunga vara yarumey naan ketu yethuvum seiyala, Ashwineyy. Avangala namakaaga seiranga. Paasathoda seiravanga ta epdi venam solrathu?" Sivaangi said fondly and extended both her palm forward, "Parunga, Mano anna vachu vitathu"

Seeing Sivaangi's excited face, Ashwin just nodded with a smile,

"Nala iruku"

"Idhula onga name ooda 'Ash' iruku, yenga nu neenga kandupidikanum" Sivaangi said excitedly.

"Yenga, kaami?" Ashwin leaned forward.

"Ahha, ipo ila" Sivaangi took her hands back.

"Pinna?" Ashwin eyed at her.

"First enakum chocolate milk kudunga" Sivaangi said extending her hand forward.

Ashwin rolled his eyes at Sivaangi before giving the glass to her. She took the glass with a bright smile before she took a sip and nodded her head appreciatively. Her actions put a smile on his lips.

"Super ah irundhuchu la" Sivaangi said licking her lips not bothering about her lipsticks while Ashwin cleared his throat and looked away.

Sivaangi placed the empty glass on the side table before turning towards Ashwin.

"Ashwineyy, naan paka epdi iruken?" Sivaangi raised her arms on either side, showcasing herself to him.

Ashwin's eyes took in the petite form of his wife. She was dressed in a peach color saree that sticked to her body highlighting her curves. His gaze fell on her waist tempting him. He chided himself mentally and moved his gaze up. She wore minimal jewels. His eyes got stuck on the yellow thread around her neck before lifting up to see her filled partition and then finally at her. She looked breathtaking in his eyes.

"Alag-" Ashwin cleared his throat as his voice squeaked before he said, "Alaga iruka"

Sivaangi giggled at the way Ashwin's voice cracked. To know she's the reason behind it boosted her confidence.

"Nejama va?" Sivaangi stepped forward with a wide smile, her legs brushing against Ashwin's making him look up at her.

"Nejama dhan" Ashwin inhaled her flowery scent as he stared into Sivaangi's eyes with a smile while his fingers played with the end of her saree pallu. He badly wanted to wrap his arms around her waist and pull her closer but he didn't want them to rush into anything.

"Hmmm open ah alaga iruken nu solringa, theritinga" Sivaangi said sitting next to Ashwin, her arm brushing against his.

"Yean? Kudatha?" Ashwin asked in a deep voice as he nuzzled his nose into her jasmine flowers before facing her.

"Yean kudathu? Enn purushan ena evlo venum naalum solalam" Sivaangi said bumping her arm against Ashwin's while he slightly blushed smiled at the way she tagged him as her husband before putting on a straight face.

"Seri, kai ah kaatu. Kandu pidikuren" Ashwin said sitting sideways. Strangely he was excited to see his name in Sivaangi's hand but he didn't want to make it obvious.

Sivaangi smiled excitedly and sat sideways as well. She extended both her palms and looked up at him with anticipation. He bit the corner of his lip as his eyes concentrated on her palm.

"Nee easy ah kandu pidika chance ae ila Ashwineyy" Sivaangi said cockily with a wide grin.

But Sivaangi's grin disappeared within seconds when Ashwin pointed at 'Ash' written on her palms making her pout.

"Yenamoh chance ila nu sona?" Ashwin said raising a single eyebrow at Sivaangi.

"Vayasu agiruchu la, onga kannu mangal agirukumoh nu nenache" Sivaangi said with a sheepish smile.

"Yaruku vayasu agiruchu nu solra di" Ashwin scoffed, "Variya 100 mts race vaipom, yaru first vara nu papom"

"Haiyoo first night la pondati ah 100 mts race ka kupduvinga!" Sivaangi rolled her eyes, "Onga stamina mela enaku doubt ah iruku, Ashwineyy"

"Edhey!!" Ashwin sounded offended.

"Dha bha dha, adhu...haan 100 mts race kuptinga la, running stamina va sone, Ashwineyy" Sivaangi gave another sheepish smile.

"Unaku vara vara vai romba jasthi agiruchu di" Ashwin said averting his gaze.

"Enga irundhu vara vara" Sivaangi giggled on seeing Ashwin rolling his eyes in annoyance, "No. No. No. Zip paniten"

Sivaangi gestured zipping her mouth yet a smile stayed on her lips. Ashwin just shook his head. They both stared around in silence before Sivaangi broke it.

"Seri, ipo yenna panlam, Ashwineyy? Enaku bore adikuthu"

"Thoongalam" Ashwin plainly said riling up Sivaangi.

"Edhey! Thoongalam ah?" Sivaangi frowned.

"Ama, night late achu la. Thoonga vendam ah?"

"Namma thoongurathuku dhan room ah ivlo romantic ah decorate pani naan ipdi saree lam katti ready agi vandhruken ah?" Sivaangi scoffed, "Yenna aalu neenga!"

"Vera yenna di panrathu?" Ashwin asked with his eyes fixed on Sivaangi. He knows what she's hinting but he wasn't sure if they should do anything given the situation.

"Yean, ongaluku theriyatha first night la yenna panuvanga nu?" Sivaangi deadpanned.

"Theriyumey" Ashwin said, his eyes meeting with hers as he paused before saying, "Atha epo senju katanum num theriyum."

"Apo ipo onumey pana porathu ilaya?" Sivaangi frowned.

"Yean unaku yethuvum pananum ah?" Ashwin asked maintaining a straight face while hiding his amusement.

"Pananum ah va? Aiyo, ongala vachu naan epo kudumbam nadathi one year la kolandhai pethukuradhu!" Sivaangi huffed.

Ashwin's eyes widen at that.

"Adiyeh! Slow panu koncham! Kolandhai ah?!" Ashwin asked flabbergasted.

Here Ashwin was pulling himself back from giving into his temptation of taking his wife and there she is, perfectly testing his self-control. He thought to be a gentleman but his wife has taken the reins for being a rowdy don.

"Ama! I'm 25 and you are 30. One year la kolandhai na, 26 and 31 la first baby. 29 and 34 la second nu life poga vendam ah?"

'Naan oruthan ivala yepdi ava chithappan ta irundhu kapatha poren nu mulichutu iruken. Iva yenna da na future plan potutu iruka' Ashwin thought.

"Nee oru mudivoda dhan iruka pola" Ashwin commented making Sivaangi grin and nod her head at him.

'Ipdi nalla vaiku vakkanaya pesuva aana naan pakathula vandha nadunguva' Ashwin thought shaking his head.

"Seri, sandhosama irukalam. Nalaike unn chithapa unna vandhu thukitu poetan na yenna panrathu?" Ashwin said making Sivaangi frown, "Situation seri ila di. Future plans orama irukatum. Ipo dhana rendu perum unna irukom. Therinchupom nammala pathi. Koncham naal pogatum. Oru flow la povom"

Sivaangi took a brief moment to look up and down at Ashwin before she sighed.

"Nee velai ku aga maata, Ashwineyy. Yenga andha tab? Naan at least bit uh padam achum paka poren" Sivaangi declared and was about to stand up to search for her tab but Ashwin held her wrist stopping her.

"Aii, yenna di solra?" To say Ashwin was shocked would be an understatement.

'Bit padama? Iva yenna namakey tough kudupa polayeh!' Ashwin thought startled.

"Nee ithuku seri pattu vara mata nu solren!" Sivaangi huffed.

"Aii nilu di" Ashwin pulled Sivaangi towards him.

"Enala thoonga lam mudiyathu. Nee enta pesa matra. Enaku oru umma kuda kudukura mathiri therla, Ashwineyy. Naan hall ku poren!"

'First night room la irundhu veliya porala! Veliya Shakeela maa irupangaley!' Ashwin thought alarmed.

"Seri thoonga vendam, pesalam okaru" Ashwin said pulling Sivaangi more to himself making her lean against him.

"Pesalam ah?" Sivaangi asked to confirm.

"Pesalam" Ashwin assured her.

Sivaangi relaxed under Ashwin's touch and leaned against him. She took both his arms and wrapped it around herself. She smiled when he wrapped his arms around her tightly as he pulled her towards him. She knew he would never take initiate but he likes to be close to her too. Him resting his head on her shoulder was a perfect example for that.

"Seri, solunga Mr. Purushan, yenna pesalam?" Sivaangi asked leaning more against Ashwin.

"Unaku yenna thonudho solu, pesalam"

Sivaangi nodded and spoke about her college days post Ashwin graduation. He listened to her patiently. He wanted to know how she met him first but decided to ask it later. Another question kept running in his mind and so, he decided to ask her.

"Ama, yendha website athu?" Ashwin asked making Sivaangi pause.

"Yendha dhu na, yedha kekura Ashwineyy?" Sivaangi asked arching her neck to look up at Ashwin.

"Athu yedho paka poren nu soniyeh...athan endha website nu ketaen..." Ashwin trailed his words.

Sivaangi was confused for a moment before the bulb in her brain started to glow.

'Ohhhh, adha kekuriya nee Ashwineyy' Sivaangi mentally grinned.

"Ongaluku yedhuku andha information, eh?" Sivaangi asked in a teasing tone.

"Ila, suma ketaen" Ashwin cleared his throat and diverted the topic to what she was talking before he interrupted, "Ama, aprm andha exam ah clear paniya ilaya?"

Sivaangi smiled to herself before she fisted Ashwin's shirt and pulled him down. He was startled for a moment before he realized what she's doing. She grazed her lips against his earlobe before she whispered the website name into his ear.

"Athulaya? Naanum athula dhan" Ashwin said in a flow but closed his mouth realizing what he said.

Ashwin looked at Sivaangi hoping she isn't offended but she blinked at him before laughing at him. She eased the conversation back into her college tales not wanting to make him feel awkward or something.

They were then talking about random stuffs when Ashwin suddenly remembered about the gift, he got for Sivaangi.

"Unaku oru gift vachuruken" Ashwin said releasing his hold on Sivaangi.

"Gift ah? Yennathu Ashwineyy?" Sivaangi asked enthusiastically, her eyes twinkled with curiosity as she smiled at Ashwin.

Seeing her curious smile, Ashwin thought of teasing her before giving her the gift.

"Athu yenna nu solanum na, naan kekura rendu vishayam nee enaku pananum. Deal ah?"

Sivaangi took a brief moment to contemplate before she shrugged and accepted.

"Deal"
