The next day
Neethu said everything to Rithick and Rahul that happened in Mercy home.
She added, "Nethra has hidden miserable incidents in her life which entirely changed her mindset. So, she started hating everyone. She became habituated of doubting everyone so she was not ready to share her personal life. Hopefully, Everything will change one day" she said with confident in her words.
Rahul nodded.
"Will you do a favor for me, Rithick?" She asked.
"Sure, Neethu"
"Will you take me to Mercy home every week end?" She asked.
"Ok Neethu. First of all I confess sorry for telling a word THANKS to you. This is not enough. I am so happy to get you in my life," Rithick searched for words to thank her.
"I am blessed to get you and Rahul in my life. I want you both back as normal. I will do anything for that" she said.
They exchanged smile filled with love.
Weeks passed by,
As usual they will go to college and every weekend Rithick took Neethu to Mercy home. Week by week Neethu became close to Nethra but unfortunately she couldn't get any information about her personal. At one point, Nethra accepted Neethu as her friend still she was not ready to convey about her. Whenever, Neethu took the topic about her life, Nethra got disturbed and behaved rudely. Neethu didn't want Nethra to get hurted regarding her past so Neethu remained silently. She waited for the day to come.
Every weekend Neethu will tell about Nethra's status to Rahul and Rithick. Rahul was happy with that and he gained confidence that made him bit relaxed.
===============
As days passed, the first year class was about to end with exams. Exam date were announced.
It was about 10 days exam holidays. For about first 8 days Rithick and Rahul didn't mind about exams. They didn't have any notes regarding the exams and it didn't bothered them.
Neethu called Rithick in phone before the day of exam.
"Rithick, How about you and Rahul?" She asked in concern.
"We are fine, Neethu. How about you?" asked Rithick.
"Stop it Rithick! You don't want to talk to me," she said angrily.
"Hey angry bird! What happened to you?" asked him.
"Nothing....." she said.
"Tell me Neethu, please" he begged.
"You idiot! Didn't call me for about 8 days?" She scolded him idiot.
"Idiot! Wow superb Neethu. Please tell once again," he said.
"Are you mad?" Again she shouted.
"Yes, Neethu," he pouted
"Rithickkkk..."
"Why?"
"Tell me, why didn't you call me these much days?" She asked the same question again.
"Neethu, I don't want to disturb you in study time. So I controlled myself from calling you," he said.
"You idiot" she yelled..
"I think you are busy in studies. I have waited for your call but even you didn't call me right?" He asked.
"Rithick! I went to home and reached here today morning only. I have tried calling you for many times from there but the call didn't reach. I was merely scared that something had happened to you. Simply, I guessed that you might didn't try to contact me. Of course! I guessed rightly," she said.
"Sorry Neethu! Nothing will happen until you are with me. Don't worry" He pleaded
"Don't say like that Rithick. Even if I am not there, nothing will happen to you" she said worriedly.
"Ok Neethu. Why didn't you inform me about vacation to home?" He asked.
"I didn't even expected Rithick. My parents asked me to come immediately. I thought to inform you from home but phone call didn't reached" said her.
"Any problem there at home?" asked Rithick worriedly.
"No Rithick! Only Good news" she said
"What good news?" He asked back.
"My marriage is fixed" she said.
"Whaaaat?....." he stopped as like thousands arrows strikes him a second.
"Rithickkk! What happened?" She asked.
He hanged the phone.
Rithick's POV
I can't control myself. I can't accept Neethu's marriage. I started crying like a child. What is wrong with me? Why I didn't propose her? What shall I do next? How can I live without her? Did she had no feelings for me? I saw her love and care in her eyes but how could it be fake? She thinks me just as friend but I am fool and idiot as she said. I cried a lot. As I never used to cry for girls, I cried for her. She made me to cry. I cried silently as my pillow became wet. I am strong person but this girl shook me in a second and made me weak.
She was calling me in phone again and again but I didn't attend her call. She was fake like others. She was not my angel.
I cursed myself for scolding her like that. I believed her eyes, it has love for me. It will never cheat me. Hopefully! I attended her call after an hour.
###########
She called him again but he didn't attended. After an hour later, Rithick attended the call.
"I am sorry Rithick" she cried
"Why? Don't cry Neethu. Anyways my heartily wishes" he said in low tone.
"Simply, I said to make you fool. Today is April 1. Don't you know that?" she said slowly.
Rithick was released a bit and he was back with his cute smile in his lips "Oh!"
You naughty girl! How cruel and rude you are! I will kill you girl. You made to cry. I realised how much I love you. I never ever give you to anyone. Even if you are ready to marry other than me I will kidnap you. Be careful Neethu-----Mindvoice
"Are you happy now?" She asked pleading.
"For what?" He asked kidding., Yayyy! He jumped and expressed lots of body language
"Nothing Rithick" she said to stop the topic. "Have you studied for tomorrow's exam?" She asked.
"Not yet" he replied simply
"Oh my God! I will help you ask me if you have any doubts" she said.
He laughed.
"Why Rithick? I was tensed because of you but you are laughing" she said worriedly.
"I and Rahul didn't have any single paper of notes" he said in cool voice.
"Okay! Come here I will give you my written notes" she said. After few conversations later, they hanged the call.
Neethu helped them by giving her notes. She tried to help them the best in studies. Rithick and Rahul studied together. Rithick studied well as it was Neethu's notes.
Exam day came,
As the questions were expected, students were happy about it. Rithick and Rahul had a hope that they will clear the exams. Similarly, they wrote all the exams a bit well because of Neethu.
##############
After a month, the expected results came. Everyone passed the examination with good grades. Neethu ranked first in the class. Followed by her, Shantra Ranked next. Everyone started praising Neethu. Rithick and Rahul felt very much happy for her. Neethu jumped in happiness, not for her but for Rithick and Rahul who passed in examinations.
Shantra's POV
I couldn't tolerate my failure. Already I was damn angry at Neethu, she was crossing my line. I mean Rithick. This Rithick was also praising her in front of me, I was ready to kill him if he continued the same. I will show you the hell. Wait Neethu and Rithick! My entry didn't have great impact these many days for them but now the real game is going to start. She laughed devilishly.
