Avi just carried Shalini into his arms and brought her to his room bridal style. Shalini had somewhat gained her consciousness. He placed her on the bed and sighed. "Kudhi nu sonna kudhichirviya?" He asked and she blinked her eyes and coughed trying to speak. "Hey paathu ma." He whined inching closer to her. He helped her sit on the bed by placing pillows behind her. "Adhu illa Avinasheyy, naa chest deep varaikum (cough) poitu thirumbirlam nu dhan nenachen aana oru hight tide onnu adichirichu." She told and he glared. "Pesadha!! Naa evalo bayanthen nu teriyuma?" He yelled. "Aprom yen kadaisi second varaikum wait panni vandhinga?" She asked.
"Ma en phone en kailaye illa!!" He exclaimed. "Phone ah kaila veikama (yells but ends up coughing heavily)... " He rushed to her aid and patted her head. "Sorry, en thappu dhan." He confessed ad she instantly felt bad. "Illa Avinasheyy, naa ulla erangiruka koodadhu." She confessed. He just patted her head and hugged her. "Oru nimisham bayanthuten teriyuma, oru pain, oru void feel aachu.... Life la ennaku apdi oru feel idhuku munnadi vandhadhu eh illa..." He told and she hugged him back. "Sorry Avinash." She told and he pulled back. "Pesadha enkooda, enna hurt panni veladradhey unnaku velaya pochu." He whined.
"Avinash adhan sorry solren la?" She asked but he glared at her and walked out making her pout. She shivered to the cool breeze as her dress was wet. She decided to go change it when he entered the room. "Poi change Pannu." He told and passed it to her with a straight face, mildly disappointed and walked away. She smiled to his gesture, "Ennadha kovama irrundhalum care panraru, enna manushan ya?!!" She asked and blushed.

Avi was in Mahesh's chamber, blushing to the kiss. He then heard a knock, making him straighten up. "Come in." He told and Shalini walked in and pushed a box to him. "Ennadhu?" He asked. "Mushroom biryani." She told. He opened it and inhaled the scent. "Nee senjiya?" He asked and she nodded. "Sorry Avinasheyy, ennaku guilty ah irruku ungla tirumba tirumba ipdi hurt pantu irruka." She told and sat opposite to him. "Paravalla vidu." He told. "Enna Avinasheyy oru mushroom biryani ke correct aayita, naa enna innum sorry solli alaya viduva nu la nenachen?" She asked. "Mushroom ku correct aagala, strawberry ku dhan correct aanen." He told and she was confused.
"Strawberry ah?" She asked. "Aama." He told controlling his cheeky smile. "Puriyala." She told. "Puriya veikanum ah?" He offered. "Aama, next time use pannanum la?" She asked innocently. "Aama Aama definitely!" He exclaimed. "Seri appo sollunga ennadhu nu?". "Senju eh kamikava?" He asked with his intense eyes and bass voice. She blushed to it. 'Edhavudhu villangama irrukumo?' she thought.
He then got up from his seat and walked to her side, he turned her spinning chair such that it's back hit the table and he stood in front of her. He placed his arms on the table behind her, passing either sides of her. She clutched the handrest of the chair tightly and leaned back onto the chair heavily as he leaned in. "Shalini?" He called in his husky voice. "Mmm?" She asked shivering as her eyes were shut close. He used his one hand to trace her left hand from her palm to her shoulders, slowly and sensually. "Sleeveless la sexy ah irruka." He commented and her breathing hitched.
"Shalini?" He again whispered. "Kanna thoraka maatiya?" He asked in his deep base voice making it harder for her to open her eyes. He leaned further closer and breathed on her neck. "Kannu ah thora." He told. She squinted her eyes open and gulped seeing their proximity. He smiled, "You're the obedient type huh?" He asked and she had a confused expression seeing him blush. "E-n-enna Achu?" She asked. "Enkitta maatikitu nee ennellam aaga pora nu yoschi paathen." He told and she widened her eyes blushing.
"Innaiku nee drown aagambodhu ennachu nu terila, (with very minimal leaning in, pecks her cheek without any noise) (her clutch on the handrest increases) Naa pannadhu correct ah thappanu terila.... Unnaku idhu pudikuma pudikadha nu terila..... (Hits the tip of his nose on hers)... Ippo Namma relationship irrukura phase ku idhu fast ah illaya nu terila.... (His eyes dart to her lips).... Ennaku indha feel life full ah venum..... (Closes his eyes and moves closer).."
Shalini's phone rang at the time, making her snap out and push him, he was still in the trance of her proximity, but she was panting hard as her breathing finally unhitched. She attended the call while Avi fanned himself to cook him down in the air conditioned room. She answered the call proffessionaly and turned to him. "Avinash, andha Srilankan president oda meeting oru three days postpone aayiruku, so security protocols Ellam change panni supervise pannanum, naa kelambren." She told without looking him into the eye.
She was about to leave the room when he caught her wrist. "Nee andha kiss ah regret pannla la?" He asked. In reality, she couldn't remember enough to think much about it. But something about him just made her nod negatively. He let out a sigh of relief after that. "Thank you, because it means a lot to me..... Our first kiss."
