Shalini had no clue on how she would face him. Once she got onto the car, the driver asked, "Secrateriot pogava madam?" . "Illa na veetuke ponga " She told. She needed advice, but confessing this to her mom would be the last thing she wanted to do. She rushed to the kitchen and back hugged the cook akka. "Shalini ma ennachu? Thambi kedachiruchu ah?" She asked. "Aah ka kedachitaru aana...." Shalini dragged. "Aana?" She asked. "Avaru en mela kovam ah irrukar eh!!" She exclaimed. "Yen ma Purushan kovam patta epdi samalikanum nu teriyadha?" She asked chuckling. "Epdi ka?" Shalini asked. "Ye Pula idhellam solli tharanuma?" She asked and Shalini pouted. "Teriyadhavangluku solli dhana ka tharanum." Shalini told. "Unna vechikitu epdi dhan thambi kudumbam nadathudho!!" She sighed and Shalini pouted.
"Akka Akka please ka.... Please 🥺✨" She used her puppy eyes and the cook akka giggled blushing as she whispered into Shalini's eyes making her turn bright red. "Chi Chi!! Akka ennala adhellam panna mudiyadhu!!" She exclaimed. "Ada un purushan kitta dhana pulla panna pora." She told and Shalini blushed. "Akka adhellam panna mudiyadhu, neenga kelambunga, naanum secretariot kelambren!" She exclaimed and left, blushing to the mere thought.

Shalini entered his cabin. "Good morning sir." She greeted. "Correction" "Afternoon Ms.Shalini." He told without looking at her. "Correction" "Mrs.Shalini" She added for her part, he looked at her and then looked away instantly. They began their work when he recieved a text from her.
'Unga kitta peslama illa innum kovama irrukingala?' it read. He just left her on seen.
'Ennaku seen la vitta pudikadhu.' another text arrived and Avi did the same making her pout and whine, "Avinasheyy!!". "Seri ippo inime un text eh padikala podhuma?" He asked and she pouted flashing her puppy eyes. "Sorry Avinasheyy!! Sorry!! Naa edho adhigaprasangithanama pesiten... Sorry ....." She apologized. "Ippo velai ah pakriya illa veliya poriya?" He offered. "Naa en velai dhan Avinasheyy paathutruken, oru nalla wife ah husband kochikita Kenji convince pannitriken." She told innocently. "Inga paaru Shalini ippo amaidhi ah Vela paaklena una nejama veliya poga solliduven!!" He warned and she fell silent.
"Amaidhi, Amaidhi... Amaidhi oh Amaidhi.... Amaidhi Amaidhi... Amaidhikellam Amai--" She murmured but smiled sheepishly to his glare. "Kochikadha Avinasheyy!!" She told and he pretended to pick up a dropped file to smile. He got up when she told, "Konjam paakura maariye sirriklam la? Unga dimple cute ah irrukum." She told and yet again fell silent to his glare but was quick to realise what was happening, "Hey!! Idhu enna role reversal eppovum naa dhana ungla morraipen??" She asked. "Naa enga area rowdy teriyuma?" She asked. "Appo pudichu jail la podava?" He offered and she again fell silent pouting.
"Naa thappa pesnadhu thappu dhan Avinash, naa othukren... Unga side kekama adhuvum neenga propose panni oru naal kuda mudiyama naa apdi pesnadhu thappu dhan... Ippo adhukaga ennala seri panna mudiyara maari illenalum comforting ah irruka ennala oru sorry dhan kuduka mudiyum." She told. "Un sorry ah vechu naa enna pannatum?" He asked and she fell silent. "Appo vera enna dhan pannanum?" She asked and he smirked. "Naa enna sonnalum pannuviya?" He asked and she nodded.
"Appo beach teriyum la beach uh!!" He asked. "Aama...." She told. "Anga sea irrukum la?" He asked. "Beach na sea irruka dhana seiyum?" She questioned. "Irruka? Adhu ulla poi kudhichidu!!" He told sarcastically. "Ennaku dhan swimming teriyadhe!!" She told taking it serious. "Appo drown aagi sethuru." He told pressing his forehead. Shalini's ego was mildly triggered by it, "Appo ulla kudhicha en apology accepted ah?" She questioned. "Yen di en uyira vangura? Poi ennamo panni thola po!!" He told as there was loads of work to complete considering the CM helpline was a huge hit among the population.
'Kudhikren da kudhikren, unna en pinnadi eh serthu kudhika veikren!!' she thought to his cocky attitude however justified he was doing it.
She just got up from her seat and packed her bag. "Enga pora?" He asked. "Beach ku." She told and he thought she was joking and nodded. Within ten minutes, his phone chimed with a video of her in beach, she was standing in the shore taking a video, the sea breeze blowing her shawl and hair leading to a windy sounding audio "Oh kadal madhave indha abhinay ah ethuko!!" "Abhinay ah illa Abhilai ah?" She then asked herself and began thinking with her one hand on her chin making Avinash laugh out loud seeing it. "Cutie pie." He cooed air kissing his phone blushing before going back to work in a meeting.
She stood in the shore, with waves hitting her feet, "Avinasheyy naa Inga oru ten minutes wait panren, ivalo nenanja en punishment over na secretariat lirndhu kelambi vandhurnga." "Apdi illana... Every ten minutes naa ulla konjam konjam erangi video eduthu anpchite irruken, eppo okay vo vanga." She told and sent it to him. His phone, now with his chief security officer's son who tagged along that day, made the blue tick appear to her. "Nihal, don't use other people's phones take mine!!" The officer added causing the boy to leave Avi's phone online on the seat and rush away.
Avi was in a meeting with women textile workers, not noticing the message nor the child.
"Avinasheyy, ippo knee level water!!" She told and from that point she stopped caring about the blue tick since he watched the first video nevertheless she noticed he was online and knew she was getting further deep.
"Avinasheyy ippo waist level.... Ennaku swimming teriyadhu nu ulla erangama vitruven nu nenaikadha!!" She warned.
Avinash then entered the room and noticed his phone missing. "Inga dhana vechen?" He asked himself and went to check the meeting room.
"Avinasheyy... Ippo chest level deep water poren!! Aduthu neck... Adhu kaprom nee sonna maari drown dhan aaganum pola..." She told. "Irrundhalum unnaku ivalo ego aagadhu." "Husband and wife rendu perkum ivalo ego irrundha romba kashtam Avinasheyy!!" She exclaimed and stumbled lightly to the waves. "Ala vera adikudhu!!" She added sighing.
Avi then returned to his cabin to find his phone on the seat. He chuckled and hit his forehead picking it up. He then noticed the several videos that followed, a smile occupied his mouth as he clicked it but his smile fell instantly and a panic aroused him seeing the things his mickey mouse was doing. He wore his mask and ran downstairs. His heart thumped loudly as he rushed down. He didn't wait for the driver and took the car himself. Driving to the nearest beach, which was nearly a teb minute drive.
He drove rashly, upon reaching the signal right before the beach. He sighed as he was stuck between car and cars, time ticking, stopping for no-one. He just got down from the car and rushed down by himself crossing the road by foot, the car parked in the middle of the road and traffic. He rushed inside the beach. "Shalini?" He called getting inside.l the water and removing his mask. "Shalini?!!" "Shalini??!!" He yelled her name and finally spotted her in chest deep water for her, but not much for him. He tried walking to with a relaxed breath when a sudden high tide drowned her.
"SHALINI!" He yelled jumping into the water without thinking and swimming deeper to find her petite figure drowning. Shalini couldn't register anything that happened. She was losing consciousness when his arms could hold her to his safe embrace. Avi had a turmoil of emotions, which could only be expressed in the purest form of love.... A kiss.
He pressed his lips gently onto his, gently sucking her lower lips. The kiss was short, but what it stood for was his undying love for her. How much ever flawed she could be, he would still find a way to love her for the exact same thing.
He then picked her up in his arms and strode forward while his security team clearing the entire beach and the road back home.
He placed her in the backseat of another car that awaited their arrival. He rested her such that she lied onto him, into his embrace not ready to let her go.
