Rithick's POV

I could see a sudden change in Neethu's face after reaching the hostel. Neethu was actually scared of that new girl. Neethu, the girl who is friendly to everyone remained two steps back to that new girl. Also, how cool Shantra was! She teased my girl in front of me. Neethu was there that's the reason I stood simply without shouting. If she behaved anything badly to my Neethu then she knows who is me!

I am sure that something was happened between Neethu and the new girl. I will find it soon.

'Hey Rithick! Don't think unnecessarily about that girl. Come out of your thinking man,' I heard my mind voice. Soon I came out of thinking.

My heart started paining that was all because of Neethu. This 10 minutes without Neethu was nearly killing me. What to do now? I want to see Neethu immediately. How could I see her now? It was not new to me. I miss Neethu a lot. She had something to say but because of that new girl's interaction, she didn't said. I miss you Neethu.

I took my mobile and searched for her message. She didn't send anything. I felt texting doesn't give relief to me. My heart urged to hear her voice for at least one minute. So I made a call.

She didn't attended the call. It makes me tensed a bit. So I made a call again.

She picked the call, "Hey Neethu! Why you didn't attend the call? Do you know how much miss you? I was waiting for your call. What are you thinking in your mind? Can't you spend one minute for me?" I asked.

"Rithick! I am Mithila. Neethu went to office to complete the procedure in the hostel regarding her absence" said Mithila.

I patted slightly in my forehead and said, "Sorry!" I hang the phone.

I should control myself. When Neethu is free, she will definitely call me.

I stood there for about 15 minutes with the mobile in my hand. She didn't call me. Meanwhile, my mom call me to come soon.

I drove the car towards my home. I looked in the front side of the mirror, I miss Neethu a lot. Though I don't know how to write/tell the poem, few simple lines comes to my mind..It was like,

"Plants without buds
Sea without waves
Night without moon
Sun without light
......
......
Rithick without Neethu,"

After composing my poem from my inner heart. I felt laughing because I have no idea about poem but Love makes me to tell the poem. I am sure she made me mad, I was laughing unnecessarily. I reached my home.

"Rithick anna!" I heard Riya's voice.

I turned aside to see her with a smile.

" Your selection is awesome, Rithick anna! You both deserve each other. My heartily wishes anna," said her.

Her words made me more happy, "Thank you Riya" I said.

"Anna! Happy news is there for you," she said with excitement.

"What?" I asked eagerly.

"Kalpana aunt likes Neethu a lot. So no worries. Please tell your love to Neethu soon. I am waiting for your wedding. Anna! I want pink Silk Saree for your wedding and Ghagra choli for reception," she continued.

"Okay! Okay! Okay! As you wish," I said with smile.

"Superb! You are so sweet anna," she said.

"You too Riya! I am too lucky to get you and Rahul in my life. Okay! Where is Rahul?" I asked.

"Look straight!" Rahul's voice .

I rolled my eyes straight.

"I am so happy for you Rithick!" Said Rahul and moved close to me. I hugged him emotionally because I love Rahul more than my life. I had no words for him.

Neethu's POV
I have completed all the formalities regarding my absence. By God's grace no problem till now from Shantra's side. I am damn sure that she won't allow it easily. I am ready to face anything but I want Rithick should be always in safe side.

I entered into my room. I have noticed my friends where busy in converse.

I searched for my mobile.

Mithila asked me, "Are you searching for your mobile?"

"Yes Mithila," I said.

"Here is yours," she pointed out.

I took my Mobile. I could notice my friends were showing strange smile looking at me.

"Why? What happened to you all?" I asked them.

"Nothing happened to us" I heard my friend's chorus tone.

"Rithick!" said one of my friend.

"What? What?" I asked.

"Something something!" Again I heard the chorus.

"Nope!" I showed shy smile.

"Yup! Tell me Neethu," asked Mithila.

"Nothing Mithila,"

"Rithick called your mobile before half an hour," said Mithila.

"What did he said?" I asked immediately.

"He loves you," said one of my friend.

I stood shocked.

"Neethu too loves him," said another friend.

I looked awkwardly. I tried to convince them but I failed. I started enjoying while my friends teasing myself with Rithick.

"Confirmed! Neethu is in love," said my friend.

"Stop acting Neethu!" said another friend.

I was too confused. I don't know what to reply. I was tried of saying "Nope"

"Neethu! Whatever may be, Don't hide. Convey your feelings to us if you think that we are your close friends," said Mithila.

"Mithila! You, all are my close friends,"

"Then, why this much confusion and hesistation? First you read your heart Neethu," said another friend.

"Yes! You are right my friends. I don't know what happened to me. Each and every minute I am thinking about him. I am longing to see his eyes,"

"Yayyyyy! Neethu is in love!" Yelled my friend.

"Yup! I am in love with my dearest Rithick. I love him madly. I won't give him for anyone," I expressed my feelings out.

"Congrats Neethu! Very gentle and decent guy, Rithick," said my friend.

I hugged my friend with tears in my eyes, "I love Rithick so madly, Mithila. I fell for him. I don't know when I lost myself to him. I want him in my life. I can't live without him. Will he accept me?" I asked.

"Definitely Neethu! Don't worry. We are there for you. We will support in whatever the situation may be. Be happy Neethu," said my friends.

"This is the time for happiness no worries. Tell me, when you lost yourself to him?" asked another friend.

"Honestly, I don't know friends but I like him from the beginning,"

I closed my eyes with my hands with shyness. My friends laughed at me.

"Neethu is so cute to see in shyness" said Mithila.

My phone rang. It was Rithick's number flashing in the screen.

"Who is it? We guess Rithick!" My friends yelled.

I nodded my head with smile.

"Neethu! Propose your love to Rithick. This is the right time," said Mithila.

I shook my head.

"Okay! Attend the phone Neethu"

I picked the phone.

"Rithick! How are you?" I asked

"Neethu! Why didn't you call me this much time," asked him.

" I am sorry Rithick! Have you reached home? How is Riya, Rahul and Aunty,"

" All are fine Neethu," he said.

"Neethu! You have to tell me the truth" he requested.

I was shivered a bit.

"Okay Rithick!"

"Who is Shantra? Why are you get scared by seeing that girl? Did anything happened between you and her?" He asked.

"Rithick!" I said.

"Tell me Neethu. Something was there," said him.

Someone pushed our room's door. I was shocked to see Shantra standing in front of me.

Rithick on the other side asked me, "Tell me Neethu!"

"Nothing Rithick! I will call you later." I said and hang the phone.

Shantra was gazing at me. She was in extreme anxiety.

"Hey Neethu! How much times I warned you. Better don't come in my way," Shantra said with high tone.

I didn't replied. I stood looking at my friends.

My phone rang, without looking the number, I cut the call.
