Un paarvai thoondila?
Naan kaithi koondila?
Sangeetham paatila?
Ne pesum pechila?

Sathya leaned his head backwards, basking in the mellow warmth of the morning sun, he felt it, the sanguine stars and multitudes of welkin at once. He felt those nameless thoughts that looked too happy, too divine, too otherworldly to put in words. Words failed and his heart ached in bliss as his lips curved to smile again.

"Mhmm.. " Krithika shuffled holding his shirt near his chest, her nose finding it's shelter in the v below his collar and he patted her head,

"Doctor.. 7 aachu ma.. Ezhuthunkalaya? " His fingers traced her forehead and caressed her head, in an attempt to wake her up,

"Oru 5 minutes ma" She mumbled, hurdling closer, her legs shifting to rest on his thighs making him want to laugh in endearment,

Whelve, meaning, to bury something deep within.There is the hug of gentle arms that still gives the space to breathe; then there is the hug of strong arms that tells everything that you are - body, brain and soul - that they are with you. The embrace felt like both, the duvets and the human shields, he felt like a combination of both.

"Aprama sari ah.. Ipo ezhunthukonga.. " He continued cajoling her and she whined, slowly opening her eyes to lock with his,

Sathya and Krithika smiled seeing each other in thier respective eyne, His hands subconsciously caressing her head and her palms still holding his shirt near his chest. Krithika blushed, like the hue of the early morning sun as she looked at herself, fully wrapped in him and shifted to sit beside him.

"Slept well? " He slowly asked her, making her feel comfortable.

It somehow felt like a silent assurance both to himself and her that there's nothing to feel uncomfortable about,

"Slept like a baby" In your arms. She didn't say the second part out loud and asked him how he slept,

"I slept comfortably" After a long time he thought looking into her eyes.

Somehow, it felt more intimate this way. Them sitting in silence with only the sounds of thier breathing surrounding them, both of them clumsily dressed, thier hai le all messy and cute, thier cheeks coated in honest smiles. This was all that she'd need to blush all over again,

"Sari.. Na.. I'll freshen up and come? " She asked him and he simply nodded,

"Come back soon" Before he could stop it escaped making her bob her head enthusiastically,

She skipped her way outside his room and saw three pairs of eyes waiting to engulf her in thier embrace, "Guru anna! Soumya akka! Bro! Epo vanthinga? "

"Naanga munnadiyae vanthutom da.. " Soumya held her close and the others hurdled closer for a group hug,

"Oru maathiri vithyasama azhaga iruke da thangam" Guru kissed on top of her head and she smiled in response,

"Doctor Bro.. Epovum 8 ku dhaana varuvinga? Iniku ivlo kalila vanthrukinga? " Aravind teased her and Krithika shrunk her eyes, oh god! They knew!

"Paathu... Did you see.. Athu.. She started stuttering when they laughed in unison.

" Sari.. Ne poi fresh up aagitu vaa.." Soumya told her and patted her cheeks,
