Ashaangi SS Entwined

Chapter Thirty Seven

That night Sivaangi was munching on popcorns and watching TV on the living room. The boys went out to play soapy football in evening and hasn't returned yet. She spent some time working on the coding to pass time but she got bored. So, she put on FYI18 and watched the baking show.

Hearing the door opening sound Sivaangi arched her head back to see the boys save for Ashwin walking inside the apartment groaning loudly. They were in their t-shirt and tracks, their hair ruffled.

"Yenna achu ongaluku lam?" Sivaangi asked standing up from the couch.

"Thangachii!" Pugazh said dramatically, "Annan aala mudiyala ma"

"Anneyy, yenna ne achu?" Sivaangi frowned walking towards them and held Pugazh's arm, "Football dhana velayada poren soninga, por ku poetu vandha mathiri nikkuringa"

"Papa, naanga velayandathu soapy football ma. Vilundhu vilundhu odambu semaya valikudhu" Sharath said and screamed when Sanjay put his arm on his shoulder, "Ahh! Dei valikudhu da machan!"

"Thangam, elaru room la yum heater potu vaika sonen la. Potiya?" Rakshan asked stretching his arm but winced in pain.

"Potuten Thangam. Elarum poe kulinga" Sivaangi replied and then looked at everyone and then asked, "Avaru enga neyy?"

"Bala ku kaal la sprain ma. Avan opposite apartment la irukan. Ipo vandhruvan" Sanjay answered as he winced and leaned on Rakshan, "Machan, naalu glass ula pola na inaiku thoonga mudiyathu polaruke!"

"Deii!" The other three hissed and Sanjay looked at Sivaangi with a sheepish smile.

"Papa, athu marundhu ma..." Sanjay scratched his head.

"Neyy, enaku yean bayapaduringa? Na idhuku lam onum nenaika maten" Sivaangi giggled, "Venum na solunga, ongaluku side dish ku half boil kuda potu tharen"

"Huh, yethuku, unn purushan engala thuki potu midhikava?" Pugazh dramatically said and faked cried as he side-hugged Sivaangi, "Irundhalum ipdi oru thangachi kadaika naanga lam kuduthu vachurukanum ma"

"Ama, Thangam" Rakshan side-hugged Sivaangi on the other side.

"Ethana jenmam eduthalum nee dhan engaluku thangachi" Sarath and Sanjay chorused as they leaned on Pugazh and Rakshan respectively.

"Aarari ra ro ra ro ra ro" Pugazh sang followed by the other boys as they all swayed their body, "Aarari ra ro..."

"Neyy! Idhu Appa, ponnu song uh neyy" Sivaangi laughed out as she swayed along with them.

"Aiyo, ama la" They laughed at Pugazh's funny accent.

"Haan, ipo paru, Malarndhu malaraadha paadhi malar polae valarum vizhi vannamae vandhu vidindhum vidiyaatha kaalai pozhuthaaga vilaindha kalai vannamae...." Sanjay started and the boys chorused making Sivaangi laugh as they swayed.

Ashwin was at the opposite apartment. He came late as he went to buy sprain spray for Bala as Raju and Mano helped Bala upstairs. He asked Bala to rest and stepped out of the apartment. His body was aching at places and he badly needed a hot bath.

"Podhi mootainga! Yennama mela mela uluguranunga! Amma!" Ashwin muttered to himself and winced when he stretched his arms. Grumbling, he walked towards his apartment.

Ashwin let himself inside the apartment but paused seeing the Pasamalar scene going on.

'Idhu veeda ila Pasamalar padam set ah nu therla. Ivanungala vachukitu! Shoo' Ashwin shook his head.

"Dei, onga pasamalar scene ah modha nipatunga da! Thaanga mudiyala!" Ashwin let his presence known.

"Vandhutan da porama pidichavan" Sanjay remarked making them laugh while Ashwin rolled his eyes at them.

"Ashwineyy" Sivaangi greeted Ashwin cheerfully waving at him.

"Thangai oru kodi, min-" Pugazh started but Ashwin cut him in middle.

"Dei, mana nalam padhika pattavanungala. Ponga da, poe kulinga" Ashwin said and grabbed Sivaangi's hand pulling her to him, earning an 'Ashwineyy' from her. He muttered under his breath, "Thadiyanunga!"

"Vara vara unn word lam romba bad ah iruku da!" Pugazh dramatically said as he faked cried.

"Dei noodles manda, nadikama poe kulikura velaiya paru" Ashwin tilted his head at the direction of Pugazh's room gesturing him to go and bath.

"Ivan vera yedhuvum solradhukula vanga da povom" Sanjay said laughing and the boys went groaning and muttering to themselves because of pain.

Ashwin hissed and looked down at Sivaangi with a frown.

"Yethuku di killuna?" Ashwin asked rubbing his arm.

"Neenga enoda annanungala romba thitturinga, Ashwinn" Sivaangi twisted her lips.

"Avanunga kedakanga, nee modha unn purushana gavani di" Ashwin dragged Sivaangi along with him to their room, "Epo paaru, annanunga, annanunga nu!"

"Huh, na Ashwineyy, Ashwineyy nu kupdurathu lam ongaluku theriyadhu la" Sivaangi pouted as she sat at the foot of the bed while Ashwin locked their room door.

Ashwin winced when he stretched his arms.

"Romba valikudha, Ashwineyy?"

"Psch!" Ashwin looked at Sivaangi with grumbled face, "Ila, massage pana mathiri sogama iruku!"

"Valikudha nu dhana ketaen!" Sivaangi pouted making a sad face.

"Unn annanunga dhan, gumbala sendhu mela mela vilundhanunga. Aprm valikama yenna seiyum" Ashwin said and removed his T-shirt, gaining Sivaangi's all attention. Removing his vest, he looked at her when she didn't respond and saw her ogling at him, "Madam yenna pannitu irukinga?"

Sivaangi looked up from Ashwin's naked upper body to his face and smiled sheepishly. He raised an eyebrow to which she just shook her head with a smile. Shaking his head, he threw the towel by his side at her head.

"Ashwineyy!" Sivaangi pulled the towel from her head with a huff but was flattened to the bed by Ashwin as he pressed her down. She could feel his bare chest against her making her fist the bedsheet. He kissed her lips softly and pulled back before she could deepen the kiss making her frown.

"Yean ipdi panringa?!" Sivaangi made a face at Ashwin who was standing at the bathroom door with the towel around his neck. He laughed at her and made a kissing face making her smile instantly.

"Night ku dinner order potruken. Vaangi vai" Ashwin said and went inside.

Sivaangi stared at the closed bathroom door for a couple of seconds before shaking her head and stood up. She walked outside and resumed watching TV as she waited for the food delivery. Ten minutes later, the door rang. After checking the security monitor, she opened the door and got the food.

As Sivaangi was unpacking the food, Rakshan came out after a bath. He helped her in unpacking the food. Soon everyone came for dinner. Ashwin was the last one to come. By the time they started eating and was talking among themselves.

Ashwin sat down next to Sarath and served himself. Sivaangi, Rakshan and Pugazh finished eating and went to wash their plate while Sanjay walked out of the kitchen with a plate of

"Nee seriyaveh sapdala, partner. Inoru idiyappam vachuko" Sarath moved the hotbox to Ashwin.

"Ila, podhum partner" Ashwin was about to stand but Sarath stopped him.

"Inonu sapta koranchura maata" Sarath said and Ashwin sighed before showing his plate. Sarath smiled and placed two pieces of Idiyappam in Ashwin's plate.

"Dei! Onnu podhum da!"

"Parava la, sapdu" Sarath said pouring gravy in Ashwin's plate.

"Indha da" Sanjay placed the sliced cucumber near Ashwin. The boys may openly whine or show their pain but Ashwin rarely does that. They know he's in pain but unlike groaning openly like them, he is being silent, "Saptu oru painkiller potu padu"

Ashwin shook his head and ate silently while Sarath and Sanjay moved to living room.

Sivaangi, Rakshan and Pugazh walked out of the kitchen, Rakshan and Pugazh holding two glasses of rose milk in their hand while Sivaangi had one in her hand.

"Ashwineyy, inga parunga. Pugazh anna rose milk potu kudutharu" Sivaangi beamed widely as she sat on the chair next to Ashwin while Rakshan and Pugazh walked to the living room giving space for the young couple.

Ashwin eyed at Sivaangi for few seconds before started eating.

"Yean amaidhiya irukinga? Inneram idhula evlo calories iruku theriyuma, night lam kudikakudathu nu neenga solirukanume, Ashwineyy" Sivaangi said placing the rose milk on the table.

"Sonna kudikamaya iruka pora" Ashwin said and Sivaangi didn't failed to notice that he sounded tired.

"Odambu inum valikudha?" Sivaangi leaned onto Ashwin's left arm careful not to press him.

"Hmmm" Ashwin looked at Sivaangi, "Thadiyanunga, nacchutanunga"

"Apdi ethana per velandinga?" Sivaangi placed her chin on Ashwin's arm listening to him.

"Na, Sanjay, Rakshan, Sarath, Pugazh, Bala, Raju, Mano, aprm Master aalunga moonu per, motham pathinoru per" Ashwin sighed and complained, "Football adunga da na chinna pasanga mathiri maathi maathi thalli vitu velantu irundhanunga"

Sivaangi rubbed her cheek on Ashwin's arm before saying,

"Ashwineyy, naan venum na ongaluku massage pani vidata?"

"Unaku massage elam panna theriyuma?" Ashwin asked with an amused smile looking at her small hands.

"Athellam yepdi pannanum nu theriyum. Neraya massage videos lam pathruken" Sivaangi said and then bit her tongue before looking up at Ashwin.

"Oho" Ashwin had a cocky smile on his lips making Sivaangi ducked her head with her signature thirutu muli.

Ashwin chuckled softly on seeing Sivaangi's reaction. He leaned to her earlobe and said in a deep voice, "Massage ku naan ready, nee ready ah iru"

Sivaangi looked up at Ashwin who stood up and walked to the kitchen.

'Aiyoo, ivaru ta yean ipdi ularuren! Vaaya vera vitutome. Seri, namma ta um muscle lam iruku la. Massage dhana, rose milk ah kudichutu themba panuvom' Sivaangi thought to herself as she drank her rose milk, "Paa, yenna taste uh!"

Sivaangi finished the whole glass in one go and placed the glass down with a wide smile.

"Thangachiii"

Hearing Pugazh call her, Sivaangi stood up and walked to the living room to see her brothers all ready to go out.

"Enga neyy poringa?" Sivaangi asked.

"Adhu-"

"Enga povanunga, work apartment la poe nalla kudichutu mattayaaga povanunga" Ashwin said coming to the living room.

"Dei mapila, enga thangachi munna engala ipdi lam damage panadha" Pugazh said twisting his lip.

"Ama, adhuvum naanga onum drunkards kedayathu, occasional drinkers dhan" Rakshan clarified.

"Valikudhe nu dhan kudika porom" Sarath chipped in.

"Poetu varom" Sanjay said dragging the boys along with him as they all waved at Sivaangi who waved back.

Ashwin shook his head at the boys. He turned to Sivaangi making her look at him. He brushed his fingers on her mouth wiping the milk moustache on her lips before he walking towards the work room in the apartment.

'Aiyoo, yenna ivaru paatu yethachum ipdi panitu poeduraru. Ulukula irundhu yedho varudhe!' Sivaangi thought placing her finger on her mouth feeling Ashwin's touch with a smile. She noticed him going to the work room.

"Odambu valikudhu nu soninga, anga yethuku poringa?" Sivaangi walked behind Ashwin.

"Charger eduka poren" Ashwin said opening the door, "Kitchen la upper right cabinet la medicine box irukum. Athula enaku oru painkiller tablet eduthutu va"

Sivaangi nodded like an obedient child and moved to kitchen. There were two upper right cabinets. She opened one and searched it but didn't find the medical box. Then she moved to the next one and found the medical box.

"Idhu ila (placing a tablet slip on kitchen slab), idhuvum ila (repeats), idhuvum ila...idhuu, haan idhu dhan" Sivaangi took out a tablet and placed everything inside the box and placed the box back in the cabinet.

After filling the water bottle, Sivaangi walked to their room. She gave the tablet to Ashwin who took it. He gave the water bottle to her. She placed it on the side table before walking inside the washroom.

When Sivaangi came back, she saw a shirtless Ashwin on the bed lying with his front side on the mattress, his arms and legs spread wide covering most of the bed space. Sensing her presence, he looked at her.

"Vantiya"

"Yenna Ashwineyy, ipdi paduthrukinga, na yepdi padukurathu?" Sivaangi asked walking to the bed.

"Massage panren nu sonna la, mudhugu ammuki vidu" Ashwin said and laid his cheek on the pillow, "Seekiram"

Sivaangi eyed at Ashwin's broad shoulders and looked at her hands. Shaking her head with a sigh, she thought, 'Seri, samalipom'

Sivaangi crawled on the bed to Ashwin and kept her mobile on the bed. Placing her hand on his back, she threw her leg over his back, straddling on him.

"Yenna di panra?" Ashwin asked feeling Sivaangi on his back.

"Massage panradhuku indha position dhan correct ah irukum, Ashwineyy" Sivaangi said and placed her hands on Ashwin's shoulders feeling his muscular yet fit body.

"Madam ku positions pathi lam nalla theriyum polaye" Ashwin chuckled making Sivaangi whine,

"Ashwineyy!"

"Seri, seri, amuku" Ashwin closed his eyes.

Sivaangi very sincerely pressed her hands on Ashwin's shoulders. She squeezed his shoulders to the best she can and trailed her hand down as she continued pressing his back.

"Hein...huff...aiyayo...huff" Sivaangi panted as her hands started to ache.

"Yenna satham idhu?" Ashwin chuckled.

"Aiyoo, kai lam pink agiruche" Sivaangi whined in lower voice as she saw her hands.

Ashwin heard Sivaangi's whine and understood that her hands are hurting. He knows her small hands can't massage his huge frame. He just wanted to tease her.

"Podhum, keela erangu Sivaangi"

"Ila, Ashwineyy, na panren" Sivaangi said and continued pressing his shoulder with more power but after six presses, her hands started to ache.

Ashwin held Sivaangi's hand stopping her before he quickly turned front careful enough to balance her. Now she was straddling his stomach, her one hand in his hand while her other on his stomach.

"Podhum sonen la" Ashwin said adjusting his hand on Sivaangi's waist balancing her.

"Aana ongaluku odambu valikudhu la. Naan dhana massage panren nu sonen" Sivaangi said with a sad pout.

"Athan painkiller potuten la. Thoongi endhricha seri agirum"

"Irundhalum na onu-" Sivaangi started but Ashwin cut her in middle.

"Indha position kuda nalla iruku la" Ashwin said gripping her waist on the both sides making Sivaangi look at him.

Ashwin raised an eyebrow at Sivaangi who's biting back her shy smile. He squeezed her waist making her gasp and pulled her to himself as he wrapped his arms around her securing her in his embrace. He nuzzled his face to her chest and rested his head there.

"Thoonguvom ah?" Ashwin said closing his eyes entangling his legs with Sivaangi's. He was tired after a long day. She looked down to see him nestled on her chest and threaded her fingers in his hair, caressing his locks.

"Light off pananum eh" Sivaangi reasoned.

"Psch! Dim light dhana, thoongu di" Ashwin snuggled more to Sivaangi careful enough not to put too much of his weight on her. His hair brushed her cheeks making her stomach twist in knots.

Only small dim golden lights were on. So, it didn't affect them much. Composing herself, Sivaangi wrapped her other arm around Ashwin as she kept caressing his locks. She took her mobile that's on the side and captured a selfie with him, a wide smile intact on her lips.

After taking pictures to her heart's content, Sivaangi scrolled her mobile for few minutes while Ashwin has already dozed off. Soon her eyes started to droop. Placing her mobile aside, she slightly moved resulting in Ashwin groaning in his sleep as he moved his head to the pillow, still sleeping. Taking the chance, she snuggled into his arms and instinctively his arms took her in his embrace. His body warmth coaxed her eyes to close and soon she fell asleep.
