Ashvin knew he had to stop his thoughts from going into tricky territories, Feeling like he needed to change the topic instantly.  It always felt like a constant battle with himself when he talked to her. He had to stop himself from saying something he would regret. 
                          
Ashvin- Pugazh kita pesiniya ah??
                          
Shivangi- Ah anna kuda iniki kalale tha pesine. Intha series pathi sone. Super nu sonaru. Appa ok sona matum panu num sonare. Veetla sanda nu solala.. Sona aparam thituvaru.. Appa yosikararu nu solirken. Ungalta kuda pesuve nu sonaru..

Ashvin without thinking- Nee romba special than ma athula ena doubt.?
                          
She blushed and smiled brightly. It made his heart leap with joy. Something rubbed up against ashvins calf and he jumped up in shock. It was just a cat. Shivangi game a little shout of joy and picked it up.
                          
Shivangi- Ashvinu ithu enoda baby shemba.. Sema cute ah iruka ila.. Pudicharingala.. Ana sila per patha bayapuduva.. Try panuga. Shemba ithu ashvinu.. Hi sollu.. Avar kita poriya??
                          
Ashvin took the cat from her carefully and placed it  in his lap. He stroked it's head and it purred contentedly. They chatted for a few minutes more when Shivangis mom came in with some snacks and tea.  She kept the items nearby and picked up the cat.
                          
Shivangs mom- Paravilaye shemba puthu aalungala kanda bayapuduva. Unga kita easy ya otikita.. Ana ipa ivala na vechukaren. Neega sapduga..
                          
She sat in the opposite bench with the cat. 
                          
Shivangi mother- Neega coimbatore thane.. Ipa recent ah ooruku ponigala ashvin?

Shivangi mom- Mam lam venda pa. Aunty ne kupudu..  Nanum shivangi appavum adutha vaaram oru concert ku anga coimbature than porom..

Ashvin- Sure aunty. It would such an honor to see you sing live.

Shivangi mom- Practice panarathila athan..  Carnaric singing light music mathri ila. Constant practice irukanum.. Seri po.. Class ku time aachu na poren..
                          
She left the two of them and went down with the cat. 
Ashvin was struggling with himself all the talk of music had made him want to hear her voice badly. But it felt awkward asking her to sing for him.
