Ashaangi SS Bewitched
Chapter Nine
Sivaangi was asked to rest the following day while Harish was accompanied by Ashwin. Although her ankle didn't pain much, Sivaangi was thankful to be in her bed and work. She discussed about the campaign with Anusha who agreed and approved. A separate designing team from Georgian was allocated for the said campaign who will work further for the competition, right from theme to candidate processing.
Sivaangi's job was to overlook and make sure everything's happening swiftly. Even the next day she stayed back home and worked. Though her ankle was fine now, she did not like leaving the bed. By the end of the day, she was pleased with the work she has managed to complete. Ashwin and Harish walked in when Sivaangi was sitting on the couch after dinner.
The men sat on the couch opposite to her. Dhanalakshmi was lying on the cot next to the couch where they were seated. When they came, she woke up and called for Kamala. Asking Kamala to place the dinner on the dining table, Dhanalakshmi enquired the boys about their day before walking to her room.
Harish walked over to Sivaangi and sat next to her. Draping an arm around her shoulder, he enquired about her ankle. She said she was fine and explained about the works she has completed for the day.
All the while Sivaangi's gaze stayed at Ashwin. She hasn't seen him since last night and strangely she thought about him more than she should. She took a sharp intake of breath when Ashwin looked at her.
But instead of averting her gaze, Sivaangi gulped and held her gaze with Ashwin. He was surprised, to be sure. He was used with her stealing glances at him but she always looks away when he catches her staring at him. To see her holding his gaze amused him.
Biting back his smirk, Ashwin tugged the collars of his shirt feigning as if he's feeling hot.
"Orey HOT ah iruku la, machan?" Ashwin asked Harish but eyed at Sivaangi, emphasizing on the word, hot.
(It is HOT right, dude?)
Sivaangi's eyes widen and her heart fluttered when she realized what Ashwin's hinting, 'Aiyayo!'
(Oh my!)
"Hot ah va? Illaye machan, andha alavu vekkai ah enaku illaye" Harish said, confused. The weather was pleasant.
(Hot? I don't feel that hot dude)
"Ohh" Holding his eyes with Sivaangi's, Ashwin said, "Oruvela naan dhan HOT ah iruken pola, machan" Sivaangi gasped, her stomach twisting into a knot. God! Should be feel embarrassed or is the way her heart fluttering appropriate? 
(Oh... Maybe it is just me who is HOT)
Satisfied with the effect he had on Sivaangi, Ashwin grinned mentally before looking at Harish as he stood up, "Na poe refresh agitu varen da"
(I'll refresh and come)
"Seri, da. Naanum" Harish also excused himself.
(Okay, me too)
