When you set out into the forest to gather fruits and flowers, you thought you’d spend the day among trees and perhaps the occasional rabbit or deer that wasn’t too shy to give you company.

But then they darted away, a sign that things were to go terribly wrong. The eyes that met yours as you turned around weren’t welcoming. No, it was a fierce threat that you saw.

You slowly backed away with the leopard watching your every move. You were only a pounce away from death. Just as you were about to close your eyes and resign to the fact that you would lose your life, an arrow whooshed past you.

Long black hair waving in the wind, there stood a young man with his bow, pulling back the bowstring. Another arrow flew through the air and pierced the animal.

There weren’t many moments where you were struck by someone’s beauty- this was one of them. The adrenaline after you encountered the beast already had your heart pumping fast and now it was racing due to the stranger who’d saved your life.

After ensuring the leopard wasn’t a threat, he turned to look at you. You looked away before he could meet your eyes.

He seemed to be a foreigner so you wondered if he’d know the language you’d grown up speaking. It wasn’t unheard of for scholars to learn the local language. But if he was a merchant passing by then perhaps he wouldn’t know more than a few basic words related to his trade.

You watched through your lashes as his cold eyes looked you over. Upon noticing no injuries he deemed you fine enough to leave alone and he went on his way.

But you didn’t want him to leave. “Wait,” you called out, trying to put the right emotion into your voice so that he’d understand. When he’d glanced back upon hearing your voice, you had held out the food you had with you and beckoned him to come closer.

The sweet sourness of the mangai pachadi caught the young man off guard so he wrinkled his nose and hissed. You couldn’t help but giggle as you ate the rice, rasam and poriyal along with him. His smile couldn’t be hidden from you.

Although you’d initially planned on playing coy, you realized you might never see him again if you weren’t forward. If you made your intentions clear perhaps you’d have a chance, as miniscule it might be. You weren’t one to live with regrets of what could have been. You lived by the words: shoot your shot, regardless of the result.

You had laid out a banana leaf and arranged the food on it. Hunger hadn’t come to you yet. Besides, you felt you owed much more to the one who had saved you. You had sat down cross-legged, gesturing for him to do the same. Though it was with hesitance, the young man had approached you again. You’d heard a rumble, and from the way he was eyeing the food your suspicions were close to confirmed, which they were as you watched him eat with an eagerness you found endearing.

After the meal, the two of you drank mor and sat in a comfortable silence. No more than a word was spoken between the two of you. Yet you felt there was a bond formed.

When the man had to leave, you tried to figure out how to ask his name.

"Renjun," he gave his name or so you hoped.

"Anju?" Ah, so his name was five?

You told him yours in return, hoping he’d understand that was the name you were called.

The awkwardness that had been in the air when you’d first met had dissipated, and now you were left with peace, even if you’d never meet again.

Glossary:

அஞ்சு (anju): five- but it's informal/colloquial and the formal/standard way to say five is ஐந்து (ainthu)- here Y/N misunderstands Renjun as Anju

மாங்காய் பச்சடி (maangai pachadi): a raw mango (maangai) side dish

ரசம் (rasam): spiced up tamarind based soup that you eat with rice or drink like soup

பொரியல் (poriyal): vegetable side dish

மோர் (mor): buttermilk- often garnished

சங்ககாலம் (sangam age): the period of history of ancient tamizhagam spanning from c. 300 BCE to c. 300 CE

தமிழகம் (tamizhagam): the ancient Tamil speaking region corresponding roughly to the present day South Indian states of Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh
