The next day morning
Rithick's POV
After a week, we are going to college. To be frank, at first I was hesitated to join the college and the only reason is to satisfy my dad so I had joined. I hate co-ed colleges because I hate girls from my childhood. I never thought even in my dreams that I would fall for Neethu at first sight. I didn’t have enough guts to propose her because if she rejects my proposal, it will kill me in alive. Did she love me? I have to find that first. If she thinks me as friend I will never propose her. I will bury my love within me itself.
While thinking about her, I had driven crazy and it reaches my dream world. What a pair of beautiful eyes she had? How could she take me away in her every single sight? Usually her eyes communicate with my eyes, made me to fall for her again and again. I should wait patiently until I came to know that her heart belongs to me. I will propose after that and take you in white horse my dear angel.
Meanwhile, my thoughts took me to Rahul. When I started thinking about Rahul, I felt very sorry for his love. When he said that he revealed everything to Neethu, I didn’t respond to it much. I acted like I was least bothered for Neethu. When he was in pain, How could I am be happy? I felt guilty and assured myself that I shouldn’t show my love out since it may hurt Rahul. He may think about Nethra. So I decided to maintain distance from Neethu till Rahul becomes okay. Hopefully, he will be back again and I should wait for it.
“Rithick! I am ready for college. Go and get ready soon” said Rahul and he was dressed neatly as usual.
“You are looking so smart” I said. He smiled
It was like after long holidays we are going to college. Really I hate but only happiness is Neethu. If I didn’t meet Neethu here surely I will discontinue my studies. Rahul will also get benefited. He was also exactly like me and we like to bunk classes often. What to do now? Everything was fate, Because of this girl Neethu I am going to college and poor Rahul was accompanying with me.
After sometimes later, I was ready and we went to college.
We reached the college earlier. Few of the girls and boys in my class came. Neethu didn’t come yet.
“Rithick! I am unable to concentrate on studies now?” he said.
I laughed as I couldn’t control, “When did we both have concentrated? Why are you bothering today specially? Anyways we are going to get least marks. So better be cool Rahul,”
“Exams are nearing” he said.
“No worries. Just cool Rahul,”
I noticed Neethu through the window. Neethu entered the class.
What a beautiful girl she is! Her beauty is killing me. She looked at me and Rahul with her cute smile.
“Hai Rithick and Rahul, How are you?” asked her and she seated besides me.
“Not bad Neethu” we replied.
Meanwhile, the class started. It was really a boring class. For about sometimes, I talk with Rahul in between I admired Neethu. I and Rahul decided to bunk the class. We informed to Neethu and came to green park situated in our college campus.
Rahul seemed to be dull and vexed. To make him relax, I decided to come to green park. It was just an amazing area. The gentle breeze and cool air refreshes us sooner. The trees in the park added additional beauty.
We both had random talks still I couldn’t handle Rahul much to bring him back.
After sometimes later, Neethu came unexpectedly. She sits together with us. She looked us weirdly and she asked Rahul, “What happened next, Rahul? Did Nethra’s arrival hurt you? I didn’t ask to hurt you both” asked her frankly.
Rahul told everything to her from Nethra’s arrival to Nethra in Mercy Home. I was surprised and felt happy about their bond; even Rahul didn’t share much to me. Though I know the full history, I acted like I don’t know anything about what had happened in Mercy Home? Really, I don’t know what to do right at this moment. How will I help my poor Rahul to be happy again? I was totally blank so I didn’t
take any topics related to Nethra but Neethu never bothered about anything and she asked immediately without any hesitation. Will Neethu able to bring Rahul back? I am waiting what is she going to tell?
“Rahul, I can understand your situation. You don’t worry. I and Rithick will be throughout your journey of life. We can’t blame Nethra completely before knowing her situation. Also, I felt sorry for her. How will she handle her child alone? Why she left the home?” she asked
We didn’t have the exact answer for her question. In between I wondered how this innocent queen was talking this much matured?
“Hopefully, we don’t know what happened to Nethra? How did her life changed to upside down? And finally, why she left the home? First we should know answer to all these questions and then we can solve the problem quickly.” She said.
“But how did we get the response? As Nethra was not ready to talk to us” I said.
She paused for a while and asked, “Why can’t I try it? As Nethra was not aware of me and I could definitely bring out the reasons,” She said. These words brought back our lost confidence.
“How?” I asked
“Rithick! Take me to Mercy Home. I will never show off about you people to her. First I have to talk to her and then we can take further steps,” she said. Really, I have to appreciate her. She lightens our darken life. I was really happy about her reply. Rahul thanked her and she scolds him for thanking her.
“Of course Neethu, We shall go tomorrow. Ready at morning but one condition” I said
“What?” she questioned back.
“At any cost Nethra shouldn’t find about you. If she came to know that then she will vacate the place” I said worriedly.
“Ok Rithick. Don’t worry. I will find out what is in her mind?” she said. I felt to hug her rightly but I can’t even touch her fingers. I am proud to be in love with her. Her helping nature was can’t beatable by anyone. Today, I came to know that Neethu was not only innocent queen but also a good decision maker. My wife! I mean Neethu was expert in all. She was well versed in handling the situations. So only this naughty girl makes this pure gold (Self appreciation Mr.Rithick) to fall for her in first sight.
I could see smile in Rahul’s face makes me happier. He was relaxed far better. We talk for long time and then reached home.
Neethu's POV
I could see worried Rithick and Rahul today. They used to enjoy whatever the situation may be but today they were seemed to be lifeless. I am sure that something happened that had broken them completely. They bunk the class in between. I wish to help them to come from the situation and to see their smile back. So, I bunk the class and went straight to green park.
Without any delay, I asked them what happened?
Really I felt sorry for Rahul but I can't allow him to worry like this. I felt to help him with the help of Rithick. Tomorrow, I and Rithick decided to go to Mercy home to meet Nethra.
Will Nethra accept me as her friend to share her personal? Or will she hate me like others? Will she recognize me that I am helping them?
I am waiting for tomorrow to meet her and let us see how is the destiny decides for Rahul and Nethra?
