Author POV

The silence is all prevailed in the surrounding, each and everyone looking at her with one or the question running in their head.

Ani took a step and came behind Mira, keeping his hand on her shoulder said," Kutty Pattas, it's enough nee ellame sollidu, oru misunderstanding ekanave romba years un kita irrundu vangidichi, I don't want you to go through the same again".

Aarav also nodded his head in confirmation and gave his silent support.

Nivas looked at her with bloodshot eyes as he can't still believe her, maybe he will when the truth comes out.

Mira took a deep breath walked towards Nivas and held his hands making him sit in the nearby chair and squatted down. Still holding his hands, she said," Anney, ne Shiv Anna mella evlo  paasam vechi irruke teriyum, trust me I know it but naa edavum panale naa, nee silla vishayata mattum ketutu ipdi react panre but trust me when I will end up saying the truth, it will surely hurt you Anney".

Nivas looked at her baffled, but kept mum and indicated her to continue further.

FLASHBACK

After the introduction day, Mira became an official sister to the whole college as Shiv's order.

Nivas being the bubbly personality, mostly teases Mira to the core but at the same time he didn't allow any other person to tease her as well, the duality always confuses her but she chucked it out knowing him.

Unknowingly the third musketeer of the group also started to create a cute bond with Mira. The lady of the group with both bold and sassy at the same time, you don't wanna mess up with a person like that aura is what she holds, the crack nut was so though that even she didn't open up first.

But one day when the lady was scrolling through the bookshelves for something to read, she heard a wailing sound. Upon going there she saw Mira get into a small ball with a food packet beside her and a book in her hand and wailing loudly and sniffing her nose with her hanky. She looked at her for some time and went towards her and tapped Mira's shoulder making her aware of her surroundings.

"Aiyooo Nitu Akka, neengala", Miru asked enthusiastically.

The elder girl nodded and said," Ennadi eduku ippo azhudutu irrunde adavum ipdi", in the end pointing towards the surrounding.

Mira blushed in embarrassment and said, "onnum illa kaa oru book padichitu irrunde avlo daan".

"Apdi enna book padiche evlo azhara madri, koodu pakalam", saying that the girl took the book and stood confused, "enna di epdi oru peru irruku, Bodyguard of the hieress"

"Aama kaa, one of my favourites romba super aa irrukum, I love the male  character, semma hot aa irruparu also female character kuda semma cute apdiye enna madri", Mira proclaimed in enthusiastically.

The elder girl is also amused to see this side of Mira and thought the ever so chirpy girl who calls every boy Anney is crushing over a fictional character.

"Adu seri di, eduku apdi thembi thembi azhude", she asked in confusion.

"Akka pavom kaa Thooriga and Raj evlo face panni irrukanga teriyuma past le...", Mira then went on telling the whole story making the elder one sigh.

"Podum podum di, oru fictional character ku evlo feel panriye, seriyana SOFTIE nee", the elder one said and chuckled.

Mira pouted and then smiled," idhuu enna neenga vekra Chella pera".

The elder girl laughed at the cuteness and pulled her into a bone crushing hug.

"Eeyh Nitya Inga daan irrukiya", came a tired voice behind, they turned to see Nivas taking a deep breath from his running followed by Shiv who was a behind him.

{Yes, it's our Nitya Shivaraman only 🤗}

"Enna daa aachi unga rendu perukum ipdi moochi vidama odi varinga", she enquired while Mira passed the water bottle to Niva's and Shiv.

"Podi, anda aramental Arumugam edo assignment ku iniku daan last date nu solli ellarayum irritate panitu irruka, nee inga Chérié kita mokka potutu irruke", Nivas argued.

Shiv came to Mira and patted her head asking about her while the other two bickered. On getting enough Shiv raised his voice," Nillunga rendu perum", turning towards Nitya he said," Avan daan Loosu nu teriyum illa yendi nee Avan kitta sanda podre", and then looked at Nivas," deyh vandu ava kita info kudutu gamunu irruka vendiyadhu daane eduku ippo sonda kadai soga kadai pesitu irruke, you idiot".

Both of them hung their heads down whole time while Mira silently giggled seeing the accomodation.

Time is anything but a dark illusion, we never know the depth but still think that knowing the overlayer is enough.

One fine day Mira was walking in the corridor to get her assignment attestated, in between she felt some uneasiness but shrugged it out. Out of the sudden she was pulled to a store room with no light, the hand kept in front of her mouth made her unable to scream or ask for help. The sudden chill ran through her body.

" My my look at how terrified is my little Birdie", a dark mechanical voice echoed in the room.

Mira struggled a log but to her vain the person was so strong that she can't able to move and fatigue of not having anything from morning as took a troll on her.

"Ohhh birdie, nee enna try panalum onnume aagadhu, you can't escape", the same voice said.

"You know I was never wanted to be a part of this damn college but Unna first-day pathadhu la irrundu you became my little obsession", he said and chuckled inhumanly while running his fingers on her bare waist as the crop top which got up little by the sudden movement taking place.

Mira was very frightened to core, her words subsided into depth of her fear, she started wailing out and tears camee through her eyes.

" Idha pathi veliya sonne, unoda Shiv Anna ippo avanoda Girlfriend aa pakka poirukava tirumbi vara maatan, and anda Nivas ippo basketball court le vilayadran but naliku edana truck vandu adichi poitu accident nu daan irrukum, so little Birdie be careful of what you speak, I am watching you, seekrama unna naa inga irrundu kutitu poren", saying so he kissed her cheeks and swiftly vanished using a secret door.

Mira just stood ther shocked to the core without knowing what to do, but the terror made its roots in her heart. She slowly got onto her knees and started crying hysterically and soon due to fatigue she lost her consciousness there only in the dusty floor.

Nitya who got a phone call from Mira's roomate regarding the absence of her in the room and time also didn't fitted well. She felt restless and started searching for Mira here and there, she called Nivas and Shiv but both of them went to Shiv native due to his sudden family issue.

She searched her everywhere but when she didn't got any info she felt heartbroken. Taking a deep breath she turned up and saw the moon and said," yen nee ipdi panre en kuda huh, already I had lost people in my life ippo Ennaku oru thangachi kudute ava ippo kaanum, why are you doing this, avaluku onnum teriyadhu evlo dangerous inda world nu, she is fragile from inside, I am just giving you one last chance show me a way to reach her please".

She broke down their and started crying silently, suddenly she felt a hand on her shoulder, turning towards it she saw the watchman uncle there. He asked," enna maa aachi, inda nerathle inga enna seiringa".

"Illa Anney enga kuda oru kutty ponnu irrupa le, Mira unglukudu eppavume choclates kudupale able kaanum, kadaisile college daan vandu irruka, naa Ella edam thedi patuten but kanum", Nitya explained to watchman who also got scared for Mira.

"Enna maa solre, seri vaanga naamba poi locked rooms le poi oru vaatii check panidalam", the watchman said.

Both then went to search for Mira, they opened each and every classroom but didn't get any clue. Suddenly Nitya remembered something and called watchman about the store room on teachers floor. Without delay both went there and found Mira in unconscious state.

Nitya just went towards her and started calling her name while Watchman went to grab some water.

"Softie ezhundru daa", Nitya continuously called out her name but nothing happened. When watchman passed water, she sprinkled it on Mira's face.

Mira slightly stirred making both of them sigh in relief. Nitya turned to watchman and told, " Anna neenga auto kootitu varingala, tired aa irruka konja nerathle seri aaiduva".

The watchman nodded and did as per he was asked. On entering the room, Nitya then made her drink some water and patted her head and asked," enna da aachi, ipdi unconscious aa adavum store room le irrunde".

Mira listening to it again re-lived the whole memory and again started crying hysterically, Nitya who saw her panic attack suddenly hugged her tightly and whispered nothing but sweet words, what seed to an eternity,Mira finally calmed down.

Nitya who saw her coming back to normal gently patted her head and made her sleep and she too slept beside her but in midnight she heard a high scream, opening her eyes she saw Mira on the corner of the room rolled up and screaming, she felt pitty for this girl, the same girl who made all the guys run on their toes and stood on her points boldly is now looking helpless.

With tears in her own eyes she moved towards Mira and sat beside her and hugged her tightly, " podum Samira podum, evlo daan ulla pottu vechitu ipdi unna neeye punish panika pore, kotti thirthudu".

Mira hugged her and started crying badly, and finally she got the courage and told what happened in the college. Nitya got angry with the person who did this to her Softie, she owed to haunt this person and show him what the hell means.

Turning towards Mira with the same rage, she gave a tight slap to her as well, Mira was shocked to see her Nitu Akka giving her slap like this but she knew that she deserved that so kept quiet.

"Ennadi nenaichitu irruke, edo oru **** poriki ipdi unna molest panitu anga irrundu poi irruka nee ipdi azhudute Loosu madri behave panre, avana appave pudichi rendu arrai arrainji irrundina seriya vandu irrukum,  anda **** evlo dairiyum ipdi oru thaniya vara ponnu kita ipdi panuva, em Kaila mattum kadaikatum avana kailiye konnu potruven, cheiii evan la Pasanga peruku Vanda saaba kedu...", Nitya went on rambling incoherent words about the person, after sometime she took a deep breath and then again turning to Mira she started," I got it you didn't knew about these type of things before, but Softie ippo naa solla pora silla vishayata mattum eppavume marakadhey".

Mira nodded her head cutely making Nitya chuckle and fondly patted her head.

" you being a girl is never an opportunity to others okay, and this life is very cruel, nee nenaikrathu vida romba cruel da idhu, you have to be bold enough to face it adhukaga naa sollale you have to leave your soft nature back nope what I meant is nee unnoda guards yaara irrukatum kella erakade unless you are 1000 Percent sure, unaku enna pudikumo adu sei without worrying about any damn people because at the end you are the one who is gonna to carry the baggage, okay va", Nitya finished her thoughts aand saw Mira looking a ther with full adoration and respect, she smiled and then gave her bracelet which she always wore and said, " inda heart beat madri daan namba life, silla ups and down makes it reach the future but flat line irrunda it means your life is done, so always keep moving forward no matter what and keep the past in past okay".

Mira also understood her inner meaning and took the bracelet. That day she got her new way of thinking about life.

Flashback end.

The silence again prevailed but this time everyone had tears in their eyes while Nivas was shocked to listen what Mira went through on their absence.

Aarav didn't knew what to do, he prayed that this to be dream and anytime he would wake up, he already knew how she was emotional and this particular incident would had made her crumpled her inside. He  hugged Mira tightly and continuously said 'Sorry' making her sigh and pat his back.

After sometime Mira withdraw from Aarav and went to Nivas and said," Anna naa eppavum ungla illa Shiv Anna ku edavum aaga vida maaten, anikum seri innikum seri  ".

Keep moving forward
and
keep the lessons learned
in the
past
