Neethu's POV

I gazed at Rithick's mom without moving from the place where I stood before. She didn't showed any response. I could hear Rithick's voice who was calling me from downstairs.

"Neethu! Come soon, it's already late!" Yelled out Rithick.

Still I stood idle in that place. I am unable to convince Rithick's mom in this short time. I have no other option than to go with Rithick. I stepped forward towards the exit. I couldn't go leaving Rithick's mom in worry.

I knelt down my knees and bow my head towards Rithick's mom feet. Still she didn't responded.

"Neethu! Get up please!" Said Riya. Riya made me to stand straight. I don't know why tears flows from my eyes like waterfalls by seeing Rithick's mom? I turned right and stepped out.

"One second! Neethu," someone called my name. I am very much happy to see Rithick's mom at my back side.

I showed the smile with tears in my eyes.

"Who will take this teady and rose bouquets? It's for you only Neethu" said Rithick's mom.

Her words makes me more happier. "Thanks God! Rithick's mom talks to me," simply I have no words instead I moved towards her and hugged her. It was one of the best moment in my life.

Meanwhile i have noticed, Rahul and Riya packing the teady and bouquets...

"Don't pack it! It's not for me," I said.

"Neethu! It's for you. Rithick bought it for you and the flower bouquets was specially crafted for you," said Rahul.

I stood amazed and felt happier by seeing Rithick's love for me.

Few minutes later we reached Rithick who was standing near the car.

"Neethu! Are you playing? It's almost time only few minutes more," he said.

I didn't responded instead I admired his concern for me.

"What is this?" Rithick asked Rahul by seeing the packed items.

"Nothing" Rahul replied with twisted smile. Rithick could understand the reason behind his smile.

"Okay! okay!" Chuckled Rithick.

"Wait Neethu madam!" He plucked a flower. "Keep this flower too it's so special"

I get it from him. I am totally bold out in front of his love. I am longing to be with him.

"Rithick anna! This is too much. You won't allow me to pluck a flower but now," kidding Riya.

Rithick smiled and said, "Neethu is ......." he didn't filled the gap

"What Rithick?" I asked him eagerly.

"Nothing madam! I can't explain you now. Get inside the car. It's almost time,"

I said bye to Rahul and Riya. I felt like depressed because I miss them a lot. I didn't showed to them, I entered into the car. I was seated back to Rithick.

Rithick drove the car slowly. Unknowingly, I started admiring his beauty of eyes in the front mirror.

His voice intermittently disturbed me but I'm unaware about the matter he said. I don't know what happened to me for about past 10 minutes. I think, I got lost into his eyes.

"Neeeeethuuu!" He stressed my name loudly.

"Why Rithick?" I asked causally.

"You have to tell me the truth?" asked him. I was shocked by the question at the same time I'm eager to hear it..

"Yup" I said.

"I know well that you like me a lot! Is it Neethu?" asked him..

"Sorry Rithick! I don't like you,"

"Nope! Don't lie. I know about my Neethu," said him.

"My Neethu" the word takes me to the heaven. "What you know about me Rithick?"

"At present, your face shows that you are missing everybody. Am I right?" asked him.

"Of course Rithick but you are hard hearted person. No feelings at all. You are cool," I said with painful heart.

He didn't replied.

Each and every minute makes me to get close to Rithick. God! I can't miss him. It was painful but beautiful feeling. I wish to be together with him. I desire to embrace his hands bonded with my hands. I wish to look into his eyes life long. I wish to take care of him in all stages of my life. I don't know what the feeling meant for.

I started blabbering. His eyes was doing something in me. I got lost in his concern and love. I desired to be with him forever. "Rithick! What have you done to me?" I asked myself

"Rithick! Please change the route," I said. I couldn't control my feelings for him

"Why Neethu? Any alternative route is there?" He asked with confused eyes.

"Nope Rithick!" I said with dense tone.

"Then, why?" He questioned

"I wish to be with you Rithick" I spoke my heart out.

He stopped the car at once I completed my converse and he turned back to see me.

I have cupped my face with my palms with shyness.

"Hey Neethu! What does it mean? Tell me Neethu, I am waiting for your reply" he enquired.

I took my hands from my face "Rithick! I am sorry, Don't mistake me. I am blabbering something. It's getting late please, drop me soon,"

"What?" He asked with doubtful eyes.

"Nope Rithick!"

What happened to me? I have to control my feelings for him. Especially his love for me made me like this.

After few minutes,

"Neethu! We reached the hostel. Get down carefully. Let me help you to pick up the items," said him.

"We reached the hostel!" I asked him with shocking eyes and looked outside.

"Of course! What happened to you Neethu? Are you okay?" asked him.

"Yup Rithick," I immediately get down from the car.

"I will take all the items. If anyone see you, it will become big problem. So you please go from here immediately Rithick. Bye," I said tensely.

"Nope! I won't go," said him innocently.

"Please, Rithick you go,"

"Nope! Nope! Nope!" He said without knowing my worries.

"Why Neethu your face changed to pale?" He said and turned back.

Many students were wandering thereby. In between I could see Shantra and Shakash. My heart was broken into pieces. Rithick should not be in trouble so I tried to convince him to go home but he didn't give importance to my words.

Few seconds passed by convincing Rithick, he was not ready to leave me as soon as possible.

To avoid getting problems, "I took my bag and said bye to Rithick,"

"Hello Neethu! " I could hear Shantra voice. I gazed at Rithick immediately.

"You didn't expect me in this place right? Okay come on,How is your journey?" questioned Shantra who was standing in front of me and Rithick.

I was shocked by her words. Rithick stood casually.

I didn't replied.

"Did you said anything about me to Rithick?"

I shook my head.

"Hello Mr. Rithick! I'm shantra. Nice to meet you here," She stretched her hands straight towards Rithick. Rithick stared at her differently. He didn't responded instead he gazed me and asked, "Who is she?"

Before my reply, Shantra replied, "I'm your classmate Mr. Rithick. You haven't see me before. Ok fine. Hereafter you will see me intermittently in your life,"

I could see changes in Rithick's face, "Okay Rithick! bye," I said.

He looked into my eyes. I looked into his eyes. Shantra gazed at we both. I don't know how I will manage this situation.

I said bye to Rithick and moved away from him. Shantra stood nearer to Rithick.

I turned back to see him. Shantra tried to convince something to Rithick but he didn't listen to her instead he gazed at me. Then, he get into the car.

I felt a big gap after leaving Rithick "Oh God! What will happen next?
Am I loving Rithick? Will shantra makes any problem? This is my love or my fate?" I asked millions of questions to myself with tears in my eyes.
