chapter 8

Author's POV"I won't mind if you do that dii Theeni"Thulir gulped upon hearing him, their close proximity only compounded the difficulty of the situation. She struggled to recall letters and form words, a task that seemed impossible for her mind at that moment, all because of the man with those captivating coffee-coloured eyes...staring at her with such intense filled gaze it was even more difficult than her wet dreams about this man...Thulir closed her eyes when his fingers feathered her neck, his thumb drawing a straight line over her throat, she gulped and licked her dried lips her breath became heavier than before when his thumbs traced her wet lips goosebumps erupted in her body, only their heavy breaths audible in that silent room....Agathiyan caressed her face with the back of his palm, his thumbs tracing over her closed eyelids, feeling the movement of her eyes beneath them...It's too much for Thulir she opened her eyes and stared back at his teasing eyes...Her lips parted as though she would speak, yet no words came forth. He smirked, his fingers tracing her jawline. Thulir seized his wrist, stopping him in his tracks, resolute in not allowing him to cause more turmoil in her already agitated thoughts. Despite the dirty scenes whirling in her mind right now, she was adamant about not giving in, at least not until he confessed his love for her...She gazed at him with anticipation, silently urging him to speak and guide her further. Understanding her thoughts, his smile broadened as he asked"How were your exams? You'll pass, right?"The moment her mind registered his question, Thulir pushed him away. His laughter only added fuel to her anger..."I actually prefer my current classroom, so much so that I've considered failing my exams and redoing my degree... And don't worry, sir, my Head of Department will call my parents to complain, they won't bother you in any way regarding that.After three years, this is what you come up with? Wow, I guess it's my fault for expecting more from the ever-irritating Karapanpoochi. The only thing you are good at is irritating me...Podang"Thulir shouted, ready to storm out, but he caught her wrist and pulled her back. Wrapping his arms around her from behind, he rested his head in the crook of her neck. She struggled to break free from his grip, but it seemed impossible as his grip was firm..."Ssshhhhhh Calm down dii Theeni........I just played with you""I am not a game for you to play with, Mr. Agathiyan"Thulir retorted still trying to come out of his hold..."Agathiyaa Leave me...I need to go""Just listen to me once will you?"he sighed "Nope... And what else do you want to talk about, huh? When my results come and the subject details are sorted, don't worry, I'll send you my entire curriculum once I get your number from Aadhu," Thulir said rolling her eyes "If you want my number you should ask me Theeni""Yeah I should but I don't want to ask you Mr Karapanpoochi""Why is that?""You know Why...""Nooo, I don't that's why I am asking you Thulir...""Won't you understand this simple thing I don't want to talk to you anymore...""Why is that?""Habbaa.....Mendum menduma....."(Again and again ah?)Thulir shook her head in disbelief, turning towards him while remaining in his embrace, a closeness that seemed to bother neither of them.She glared at him, but he seemed unaffected, accustomed to her anger more than anyone else. Once, she accidentally burned his skin with an ironbox, and he pushed her down the stairs, both incidents were unintentional, occurring in the heat of the moment. They later regretted their actions and apologized. They were just children then. Thulir knew of her fondness for him but remained silent, believing he hated her. He never agreed with her, always ready to argue, even though she often initiated the disputes. She wished he would be patient and prevent the arguments from escalating, but that never happened. He never conceded in any of their confrontations, reinforcing her belief in his hate for her.The last encounter they had caused her to rethink her stance. It seemed too surreal for her to believe, and his current actions only added to her confusion. She found herself in a dilemma, unable to fully accept or completely reject him.Thulir took a deep breath and asked without looking at him..."Why are you doing this, Agathiya? Don't you hate me anymore? "He furrowed his brow upon hearing her words, cupped her cheeks, and gently lifted her face to meet his gaze."Hating you was impossible for me, Thulir. Why would you think I hated you? Hate is such a strong word, and how could you accuse me of feeling that way?"Agathiyan Questioned her but she doesn't have answer he never said her he hated her not even in any heated arguments....."You didn't say you liked me either, what else am I supposed to think but that you hate me?"She retorted sharply, he furrowed his brow in frustration and signed "You always understand everyone's feelings  but me, Why is that? Thulir I don't think I am that much complicated for you to understand  ""Because you've never been as expressive as others, at least not with me. "She rationalized her point ,  despite his complete silence, she remained in his embrace. Agathiyan closed his eyes, took a deep breath, then opened them to look at her, who was waiting for his answer.He leaned and kissed her forehead his lips lingered there for more than few minutes Thulir closed her eyes relishing that moment.....her heard beat raced up hearing his next words...."I've missed you dearly dii Theeni. There were moments when I yearned to rush back just for a glimpse of you, and sometimes, I did just that."her eyes widened she looked up at him...."You came here to see me in these 3 years and I have no clue about it till this moment....is that what you meant??"Thulir asked him again to confirm....he nodded his head and the next second Thulir pushed him off her again and about to leave the room he held her hand again she glared at him with tears filled eyes....he was about to speak they heard "Akkkaaaaa Where are you?"Thalir's agitated voice pulled  them out of that moment, Thulir wiped her eyes immediately before Thalir enter the room...."What happend Thalir??"Agathiyan asked her...Thalir held both of their hands and dragged them out of the room with her and they saw the commotion happening in the main hall downstairs ...All those relatives as expected making chaos and the 5 siblings stood there calmly, Aadhiran held angry Mugilan's hand not wanting him to fight with his in laws right now and Magilan held Aadharsh's hand Tisya stood silently with Uyir beside her and while Cynthiya and Geethanjali trying to control their family members....Tisya didn't even bothered to stop them and stood there unaffected by the commotion Aadhavan was worried and he surely not in right state...Thulir and Agathiyan Rushed towards him first....he needs them the most now......Even though Agathiyan want to shut them up he couldn't seeing the elder's calmness which is not their nature....."THAT'S ENOUGH!!!!!"Magilan's voice finally brought silence. He lifted the tearful Umaiyazh and gently wiped away her tears, soothing her...."I remember inviting you all for my daughter's birthday.....and seems like you all already have fun among yourself.... You all might be tired of all those shouting why don't you all go and have the food and continue to shout at each other energetically because my Daughter is hungry and she is our priority now so Your words might won't register in our minds..."He spoke and proceeded with Umaiyazh cradled in his arms, his brothers and the other children trailing behind. Before departing, he nodded to his wife and sister, disregarding the others. His silence signaled that their shouts would not sway him, and he took none of them seriously. He felt no need to explain, his silence was a direct humiliation. The rest departed, hurling curses and vowing never to return.Tisya held her son's hand....Aadhavan looked at her mother....Tisya fulfilled her father's will by transferring all his possessions to Aadhavan. After signing the document, she attempted to hand it over to Aadhavan, but he did not receive it and instead left the place Thulir followed him.......While Agathiyan stood with Tisya and cleared the people from the place....he knows  Aadhavan needs some time to recover and Thulir will handle himAuthor's Note...Hello people...I just don't want to give more importance to those chaos that's why I rushed it up.....will concentrate on the story more....How was the chapter...Do let me know your thoughts....Happy Reading📖📖📖📖📖📖Thank you ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
