The stage was filled with extreme pleasure and enthusiasm due to the rocking performance of Rithick, Neethu and their team. Then the competition was followed by few other teams.
This is the time to announce the winners of the singing competition. Of course, we could guess them. The students yelled out the name of Rithick and Neethu.
"The winner is Rithick's team! Please, come forward to get your honour" said the judge panel.
Neethu was filled with excitement. Neethu's team moved forward to the stage.
Rithick was standing between Rahul at his right end and Neethu at his left end. Mithila was standing next to Neethu. Their face was filled with intense joy.
Neethu with extreme happiness holded the hands of Rithick and Mithila who were standing to her right and left side.
Rithick's hand was holded by his dream girl. He left his hand loosened. He could sense sparkling of hands. Butterflies started flying from his heart. He turned his head left to see his Neethu. She was in the mood of excitement, her smiling lips added additional beauty to her. He then tried to hold her hand.
He interwinged his fingers with her soft fingers. He holded her hand tightly. He enjoyed the beauty of his life with Neethu.
The honour was provided to Rithick and his team but they didn't loosened their hands. They moved down the stage like a couple with hands held together.
Neethu could sense that she was holding the hand of Rithick. She looked down both their hands were locked together. She tried to remove her hand from Rithick's hand but she couldn't.
Neethu gazed at Rithick saying, "Rithick!"
Rithick looked at her. They had an eye conversation. Neethu showed her eyes down towards her hand to leave it.
Rithick could see her magnetic eyes showing some action to leave her hand. He felt very hard to leave her hand after holding it for about 10 minutes. He never thought to hold a hand of a girl before but after the entry of Neethu in his life, everything had changed. He was in deep thinking.
Rahul noticed Rithick's and Neethu's hands were together. He smiled to himself and moved forward to his seat leaving his Rithick to Neethu.
Neethu could perceive Rithick was in deep thinking. She waved her hands towards Rithick's face.
Rithick could realize that it's time for him to leave his Neethu's hand. He loosened his hands. Neethu took her fingers from the interlinked fingers of Rithick. She noticed a mark in Rithick's thumb finger.
Neethu asked "What's happened in your thumb Rithick?" Rithick showed his smile and he moved towards Rahul. He was then followed by Neethu.
Rahul showed a twisted smile at Rithick. Rithick showed his hand to Rahul. Rahul tried to catch his hand but Rithick took off his hand. He stretched his hand often and he was started flying in his thoughts.
Rahul said "Rithick! I am happy for you."
Rithick replied, "Of course Rahul! That 10 minutes when I have holded the hand of Neethu is the most unforgettable moment. It's very hard for me now. Let's go out Rahul."
Rithick and Rahul were ready to go out.
Neethu asked "Where are you going?"
Rahul said, "Going to green park to get fresh air. Are you coming?"
Neethu said, "Program will get over now. I will come little later."
Rahul said, "Ok Neethu."
Rithick looked at Neethu with longing eyes. Neethu gazed him as usual.
Rithick and Rahul reached the Green park. They both seated on the bench. Rahul could perceive Rithick was actually worrying more than his happiness.
Rithick worried, "Rahul! When I leave her hand it's like everything left me in a second. Neethu didn't show any sign, I couldn't able to read her mind."
Rahul said, "You are damn special to her man otherwise she won't hold you. Trust me Rithick, she is yours! You don't get worried."
Rithick showed his smiled and said, "Even now I could feel butterflies flying around me."
Rahul laughed, "That's my Rithick."
They both had a converse together. Meanwhile, it's time for their lunch. Rithick searched for Neethu. His eyes couldn't meet her. Rithick and Rahul were searching for Neethu. They couldn't find her.
Rithick said, "She might be in green music park. Let's go there Rahul."
****************
Green music park
Neethu said, "It's time Mithila, let's go to green park. Rithick and Rahul are waiting there."
Mithila said, "Of course Neethu!"
"Neethu! Neethu!" She could hear the name someone was calling from her back. She turned her head to see. It's Shantra.
Shantra asked, "Hello buddy! Welcome. Are you searching for Rithick?"
Neethu didn't show any reaction.
Shantra said, "First of all congrats Neethu for the performance. This is the first and last time for you to be with Rithick on the stage. If I see you again with him, you and Rithick might know who I am?"
Shakash noticed Neethu. He walked towards her saying, "Hey Neethu! You rocked on stage."
Neethu showed her smile to Shakash. Shantra starred at Neethu and moved away by the entry of Shakash.
Shakash asked Neethu, "Had lunch?"
Neethu replied, "Nope."
At that time, Rithick and Rahul entered green music park. Rithick searched for Neethu but he couldn't get her. Neethu noticed Rithick and Rahul. She felt very happy at the moment she saw Rithick was searching for her. Shantra's voice echoed in the ears of Neethu. She got scared that Shantra might hurt Rithick too so she tried to hide from his eyes. She covered her face with duppatta like a scarf.
Rithick noticed Shakash who was talking to a girl but he was not aware that girl was his Neethu.
Rithick worried to Rahul, "Where is Neethu? My heart beat started rising."
Neethu was gazing at Rithick. She couldn't hear what he was saying.
Shakash waved his hands towards Neethu, "I am here Neethu. Where are you looking?"
Neethu didn't showed any response. Her eyes were longing for Rithick.
Mithila said to Neethu, "Hey Neethu! See Rithick, he was there."
Neethu placed her finger in her lips indicates be calm Mithila.
Shakash couldn't understand why Neethu stood dumbstruck due to the entry of Rithick?
(Rithick and Rahul then moved out from that place)
Shakash asked Neethu, "If you don't mind, let's have lunch together."
Neethu paused for a minute and said to Mithila, "Rithick should be happy always. If he looked at me he could guess that I'm in distress. Also, Shantra might hurt him too so let me tried to avoid him now. Let's have lunch with Shakash."
Mithila said, "You are right Neethu! Your face seemed to be dull."
Neethu had no other way to have lunch with them leaving Rithick and Rahul. She couldn't able to have her lunch by leaving them.
Rithick was still searching Neethu. He was rolling around all the places to search her.
Rithick noticed Neethu having lunch with Shakash and Mithila. He felt happy to see her at the same time his heart was broken merely. Rithick and Rahul then moved to the Green park itself. They didn't have their lunch.
Rithick said to Rahul, "Have your lunch Rahul."
Rahul replied, "Did I have my lunch alone at any time leaving you?" Rithick gazed at Rahul with lots of love. Both hugged each other.
Rahul tried to calm down Rithick saying, "Neethu might searched us and she couldn't find us so she have lunch with them. Nothing to worry Rithick."
Rithick nodded his head.
After sometime, Rithick could hear his name that someone was calling him, "Rithick! Where are you?" He could sense, it was Neethu's voice.
Rithick could see Neethu running towards him. Neethu stood close to him exhaling her long breathe. Rithick turned his face away.
Neethu said, "Please, Rithick! Look at me." Rithick didn't look at her.
Neethu said, "Rithick! Will you look at me or not? I want to tell you something?"
Rithick turned towards Neethu and shouted, "How dare are you? Do you know how much I get scared of missing you? Get away from my sight. I don't want to see you any more."
Neethu stood shocked and her eyes became wet at that moment. She knew only smiling face of Rithick and now she could see his 1000 wala anger face. She was stunned by the words of Rithick.
