Nethra's POV
"How did you know that I was admitted in this hospital?" I asked Rithick.

"Nethra, it is not necessary to answer all of your silly questions. We care for you really. No problem, if you didn't trust but don't avoid us by faking yourself. Now your body conditions is not good, please Nethra don't hurt me by your question. I will be with you as your own brother and it is my duty to protect my sister when she is in trouble. One day you will really understand us and you will come back to home. Waiting for your arrival" Rithick replied worriedly.

In my life, I have never seen Rithick with such emotional words. Also, I like him a lot. He is also only child to his parents like me, it is hard to say someone as their own sister/brother. I knew the emotions behind it so I don't want to hurt him by my questions. In my deep heart, I had no angry at Rithick and I was very happy that his love for me remains the same.

I didn't answer anything and I simply looked at him. I felt very much tired that time.

As per doctors suggestion, we discharged from hospital. Rithick and Neethu took care of me very well.

Neethu became very much close to me. By birth, I don't have sister but now I am proud to say I have Neethu as my sister. I adapted her as my own siblings. She too love me a lot. Usually by weekly once, she will visit the mercy home but now daily after her college she will visit the home and take care me. Rithick too visit the home often.

A month passed by, I felt great improvement in my body condition when compared to previous. I was relaxed much better and it was because of Neethu and Rithick.

Neethu's POV
Thanks my Lord for helping me with enough strength to handle Nethra's issue without any problem. Rahul was not aware about anything regarding Nethra's body conditions. She accepted me as her own sister.I was very happy with the improvement of Nethra's body conditions. Days passed peacefully. Rithick too often visit the mercy home. He has mercy towards everyone except me.

The next day in College

Rithick was talking to Shantra. He didn't mind me at all. How could he change like this? I am a fool to fall for him. He thought me as a friend, it is ok but how can he forget his friend? I hate such type of characters, who lose their interest in someone when someone special enters in their life. I never expected, Rithick to be of such kind? He and his character was really annoying.

Whenever I saw Rithick together with Shantra, it gave me unbearable pain. I know I hate him, I hate him. Of course! I hate him to the core. I have no love for him. Then, why was it giving me such pain? Why can't I bear if he is close to his loved girl? Did I hate him truly or did I am faking myself? I can't tolerate and I don't want to study together with Rithick. I was thinking stupidly and I am sure that if it continues, I will become mad soon.

Shantra pointed out me and said something to him. He didn't showed any sigh. He laughed together with her. I tried to hide my emotions in front of them but I couldn't control like before. I stood up and went out getting excuse from Rahul and Mithila. I reached the green park and spend my time there. The cool and fresh air reduces the burden in me. At evening, I reached the college hostel.

That day evening, I got a call from Rahul. I never imagined that this call will break me into millions of pieces.
The news was Rithick met with an accident and he was fighting for his life.

I was standing as body without life. I was totally collapsed and tears are flowing from my eyes. I cried and rushed to hospital. I noticed Rahul was standing in front of ICCU ward. I ran towards him and I was speechless.  Rahul was standing with tears filled eyes and I hugged him emotionally as I want a shoulder to bare my pain.

"Where is Rithick? How is he? I want to see him immediately" I cried.

"Don't cry Neethu, He was there" he pointed his hand towards the glass in the closed door. I saw him towards the small round glass. Rithick was in ventilator and he was injured severely. My eyes became blurred and I don't know what happened to me.

I rubbed my eyes hardly to open it. I came to the sense that I was fainted by seeing Rithick's condition. I started crying. I want to see Rithick immediately right now. The doctor and nurse were going in and out of the room. They didn't reply for questions. It shook me and Rahul. They asked us to maintain silent.
 
Doctor came out after checking him "Please arrange for O+ive blood. He lost blood. His condition is critical. His head was severely injured and I can't predict anything now. I am taking this risky operation only for Sanjay's Friendship. Everything is in the hands of God. Pray to God"

"Don't tell like this doctor, you have to save Rithick's life. Please Doctor" Rahul begged with tearful eyes.

"Doctor, please take my blood and save Rithick. My blood group is O+ive" I said and the nurse took me. They checked my body conditions by confirming  the fitness procedures. Later they took blood and started the operation.

I and Rahul were all alone. He informed to his family members. As they couldn't tolerate their only son was struggling for his life. I could understood everything from their converse.

Rahul cried a lot, "Don't cry Rahul, Rithick won't leave us. You shouldn't cry for him. He will be back. I get the new hope now. See my eyes, I never shed a tear for him again. I know my Rithick will be back. I love you Rithick, please come up" I consoled Rahul.

Rithick's family rushed to hospital and I can't console them. Rithick's mom became unconscious and she was admitted in another room. Lots of painful incidents happened there.

After 3 hours of operation, three specialists neuro and surgical doctors came out. "Operation was successful and he was in unconscious state. Sorry for informing you that we can't tell anything now. After 24 hours, we can predict something. Pray to God, that's all" the doctors said.

Though I was strong outside. I couldn't bear. Why did the accident happen to Rithick? Rithick don't make to cry again. Don't make me weak. I can't stand there seeing Rithick in such conditions. I was scared actually whenever the doctors came out from his room.

I went to Anjaneya temple nearer to the hospital. I prayed for Rithick's life. My mind became peace and I returned back to hospital.

I asked Rahul with a hope but everything went in vain. Rithick's body conditions was still in worse.

That day night passed in hospital. We stayed together in separate room alloted for us. No one was allowed to see Rithick. As time passes, it was killing me and no more tears in eyes to come out. It was painful to see Rithick's mom too. She was still in unconscious state. Rahul, Riya and myself were waiting for the next news from the doctors.
