Aditi's POV 

The alarm clock stuck 7 waking me up. I woke up with great difficulty cursing my life imaginarily. My mom walked in.. 

Aditi : Good Morning ma!! 

My mom didn't reply, she walked towards me and sat on my bed and hugged... 

Mom : Happy birthday thangam!!! 

Aditi's MV : Woah!!! It's my birthday. 

I hugged her back saying "thank you ma!!!" 

Mom : Seeikram ready aagitu va... unga dress inga dhaan vechuruven... 

Aditi : Sari ma!

I said with a yawn. She glared at me and said " Thoongumoochi, po poi seeikram ready aagu." 

I went in and freshened up, I came out and saw my dress...

It is beautiful. I absolutely love it.  I wore it and gazed at myself in the mirror. It suits me so well. My parents do know the best for me. I picked up my phone. Thank god! It was in silent mode. Or else it would have disturbed my beauty sleep. I checked the messages and calls. They were many in number. As expected, none of the ones in my circle called. Well they know about me. but Mithra should've called me by now. Maybe she is busy.

I went down and met my parents' eager gazes. My dad came towards me as I climbed down the stairs and hugged me. Then surprisingly he wrapped his palms around my eyes and whispered "no peaking." I grinned. He took me few spaces forward and again whispered "Happy Birthday Princess" opening my eyes wide. I jaw dropped at the sight I beheld... 

This is what the table was filled with. I widened my eyes in amazement. "Wow thanks pa... thanks ma!!!" I literally cried. "Eppovum ipdiye santhosama iru" my mom said hugging me. My dad didn't say a word but just shared a hug filled with warmth. After the pooja and a breakfast filled with wishes and replies. I rushed to the college in excitement. Today started special and I have a feeling it will be better. Let's see...

After few hours 

Mithra's POV 

Woohoo!!! We won the debate!! Everyone was so happy especially Vijay. He told me he was staying back. After we had finished the small part of work we had we were waiting for the bus. This was the outskirts of the city. The reason we are staying in the hotel all these days. But I should say the hotel's were absolutely breathtaking and comfortable. But as this was the outskirts the air was so clear making the atmosphere romantic. My day is going so well. To add to it today was Aditi's bday but I won't be there with her and I didn't even wish as per Ani's instructions. But today is his big day he should live it as he wishes. 

Then I felt pat. I recognized the touch it was Vijay, the bus had come and he was asking me to board it. I smiled a little trying my best not to blush and got in to the bus. We were going on the beach road. (A/N : I have no idea of the roads and roots.) The sun was setting and the view was beautiful..... 

The waves playing along the sea. The clouds completing the potrait and the sun although setting adding life ironically. The gentle hush breeze adding the music. The nature gave me a warm happy feel. Top of all I had vijay sitting beside me who was chatting about some random things. I could just keep living this. Then, my phone rang disrupting my peace. I understand but I am just.. Ok leave it.It was Ani. I lifted it... 

Ani : Mithu oru help venum.. 

Mithra : Sollu da.. Enna pannanum?

 Ani : Adhu vandhu ennakku avalukku epdi confess pannanum nu theriyala di!!!

Mithra : Adhu ennakkume theriyadhu da..... Epdi soldrathu?! 

Vijay who was beside me obviously heard my reply... "Ennachu?" he asked with a casual but a an interestingly concerned tone. I needed someone to share cause I alone will never be resourceful in this case. But I needed someone whom I trusted deeply and here he is. So, I blurted out everything keeping Ani on hold. Vijay listened to everything keenly and at the end said "Avlo dhaana!! Phone en kitta kudu." I hesitated and thought but finally gave it to him.

End of Mithra's POV

Vijay : Ani naan Vijay pesuren!! 

Anirudh : Bro, Mithra ellame sollitala?!

Vijay : Hmm but adha vidu bro... naan oru kelvi kekuren adhukku badhil solluviya? 

Anirudh : Hmm... kelu!

Vijay : Andha ponnu kitta enna dhaan ya irukku? Mithra va ivlo torture panra!!! 

Mithra was shocked at the dialogue he just said. 

Anirudh : Enna bro ipdi kekura?? 

Vijay : Ava kitta enna irukku nu solluya???

Anirudh : Ippo varaikum naan nariya ponnungaloda pesiriken pazhagiruken... aana avanga ellarum kooda maximum oru nalla friend ah irukanum nu thonuchu... but first time Aditi ah paathappo dhaan life mothamum iva kooda dhaan irukanum nu thonichi... Ava pakka irundha endha tension uhm irukaadhu avala reference la vechikittu ethana love tune aachum podalam... Ava ennakku kudukura push apdi... ava en pakkam irundha ulagathaye jeichiduven nu oru nambikkai... muzhusa sollanumna ava dhaan en vaazhkaye... uyir iruka varaikum avala santhoshama kaadhal pannikittu vaazhndha podhum....

 Vijay : Unnakku sambadhame illadha oru aalu naanu, en kittaye aditi paththi ivlo solriye ava kitta solrathukku enna?

Anirudh : Adhu... 

Vijay : Bayama!! 

Anirudh : Aama!

Vijay : Paaru Ani unna paatha bathramana oru feel andha aponnuku varanum... nee pakkathula irundha oru dhairiyam irukanum... un mela nambikkai irukanum... unna paatha koodave varanum nu thonanum... appo dhaan andha kaadhal ku oru ardham irukkum... kettale theriyudhu Ani nee Aditi ah evlo love panra nu, Dhairiyama poi un kadhala sollu... 

Anirudh : Hmm... seri! 

Saying that he cut the call. 

Mithra's POV 

I was happy and I never felt this kind of happiness before. It was complete at this moment I felt, he would make me feel complete. He was my strength and I didn't realize it until now. I would leave my whole life happily walking alongside him. He was the one who made me feel very safe after mt dad. Every girl wants her love of life to be like her dad, I am just vey lucky to find one right in my first love. But somewhere there was still a doubt in me did he feel the same way about me?? The dialogue he just said was it out of possessiveness or to extract the answer from Ani?? Did he love me??

Aditi's POV 

I came home from college. My friends are crazy. All of them who were in the college literally gave me at least one birthday bump. The Albians adding to it made me cut a cake... they have grow close to me in a short period but Anirudh didn't talk to me properly and Mithra, Madhu and Shriya haven't called yet. They must be very busy. But anyway they will call m by the end of the day. I lied on my bed after a very hectic day.. I had gone to the temple and came back just now. So, I lied on my bed wearing my half saree. I just didn't have the patience to undress and dress up all the way again. As I turned sideways there was a box on my pillow. I opened it...

Who would have sent me this? There was no tag!!! As I was thinking my phone pinged it was a message from some unknown number. It was...

COME TO ME LOVE!!!

To be continued!!!!!
