• Rithick noticed Neethu looking at him. His heart

• me?"
• Neethu was stunned by his unexpected expression
• and she shook her head and said, "Nothing."
• He motioned for her to continue with her lunch. She pointed

• Neethu sighed. It's a shame, Neetha. Do not look

• captured my soul I know he's looking at me, but
• how quickly he tears his eyes away when I look at
• him? Maybe it's my wrong impression? He seems

• Neethu's inner voice replied:
• "Why the confusion,

• Rithick tried to hide his feelings by saying, "Why,
• man?"
• "All I heard was your mumbling. Your eyes."

• Rithick had no choice but to smile and he tried to hide. "Nothing, Rahul. You still doubt me, man. Look at my eyes. They are."

• Rahul said, "Of course, man. I sensed her."

• Let me call her now. You talk?"
• Rithick smiled and said, "Yeah, I'll try Rahul."
• Rahul called, "Neethu, did you enjoy today?"
• Neethu replied, "Oh yes brother. I enjoyed it very much."

• Rahul smiled at Rithick and told Neethu, “That's it
• pleasant environment with nice friends. I love it
• college, Neethu.”
• "Rithick, talk to her. She was asking about you"
• Rahul whispered to Rithick.
• Rithick cleared his throat and tried to speak. He looked at Neetha and she looked at him. His
• his throat went dry and he searched for words. He admired her beauty. She looked more beautiful
• with her natural face and slightly oily skin. Was
• charmed by her gaze and unable to utter a single word.
• Rithick groaned. "I have no words, Rahul. I am mere."
• damn man It's not my fault, I grew up

• "No problems Rithick. Don't worry. Don't keep it."
• face like this I can't see you like this. I
• I want my Rithick to be happy always. It's yours
• which I can say now."
• Rithick blushed and covered it with a smile.
• “She's mine… I hope I can tell her.
• “Neethu seems like a beautiful girl,” Rahul
• he commented.
• “Why do you often use my name brother?
• listen.” Neethu tapped her leg and demanded
• answer from him.
• Rahul blinked and was at a loss for words. “You're my new one
• sister. Don't I have any rights to use your name?"
• Neethu replied in a thick voice, “Nothing like that
• that brother but Rithick doesn't like me. So you
• better don't use my name... he'll be irritated."
• Rithick couldn't stop smiling and turned his face away
• towards the window.
• Neethu noticed Rithick looking outside and at her
• the voice cracked. “Well, I already said it
• Rithick, he doesn't even want to meet me. He is
• look out."
• Rahul craned his neck to see Rithick. He decided
• bring the situation back to normal.
• Rahul added a cheery tone to his voice. “Neetha..
• Rithick loves nature. You just don't talk to me
• with Rithick. Maybe he's bored! I think yes."
• Neethu sighed. “Bored…I see.
• Not losing hope, she called out Rithick's name.
• "Do you feel lonely?" she asked him lightly.
• Rithick nodded his head. He was embarrassed
• words.
• Neethu's almost black eyes held a lot of doubts.
• "Why don't you mess with me? Am I bad?"
• Rithick shook his head and said, “Rahul, I am
• he can't answer her. Tell her she's good and I am
• poorly."
• Neethu sighed in exasperation. "I'm asking you,
• Rithick! You are replying to Rahul. At least to think
• me as your classmate Your answer seems to be
• a mere insult. Look at me Rithick! What is wrong
• inside you? Tell me."
• Rithick replied to Neethu for the first time ever, “
• he can't face you. Don't ask me anything else. It is
• everyone.” Neethu could not understand the meaning of his words.
• She felt very happy when she heard those words
• but from her stupid Rithick. She longed for his words and now she couldn't at this moment
• trust your own sense organs.
• Rahul understood the emotions going on inside him
• Rithick's mind. He couldn't believe the words
• they were from his cousin. He was holding Rithick's hands
• emotionally. They both waited for Neethu's reply.
• Both of them were wondering what Neethu would answer.
• Neethu was left speechless and unable to return
• to normal. She paused for a minute and then
• he replied to Rithick in a cheerful tone, "Thanks
• Rithick.”
• "What? Thanks?" Rithick and Rahul winked at everyone
• other.
• Rahul approached Rithick and said, “Maybe
• she is in love with you Rithick. Enjoy it, man.”
• Rithick looked at Neetha and she smiled at him.
• The two often looked at each other. Time is up
• the day was drawing to a close.
• Neethu said, "Hello!" to Rithick and Rahul.
• Rithick looked at her with fixed eyes and shuddered
• his head. He stared at Neetha until she
• disappeared from his sight. Then Rahul pulled
• him from that place.

• it looked like a palace, glittering with lights.
• She met all her friends there and they were
• discuss their first day.
• "What a college! It's like a dream, really."
• Neethu smiled.
• Neethu's classmate Heera said, “Yes, you are right.
• But our class seems nicer. Another
• thing neetha..
• Neethu and Mithila excitedly asked, “What is it?
• Heera?"
• “Rithick seems to be the nicest guy around here
• class, right?” Heera asked.
• Neetha licked her lips. "What? Rithick? He wasn't as handsome as you said. He was looking."
• like a normal guy."
• "What a voice he had! No chance. It's spirited."
• a guy with a manly figure. Almost all girls are
• he whispers his name in class. Who will be
• the luckiest girl to capture his heart? Even I have a
• grind into him Neetha,” said Heera.
• Neethu stood stunned for the first time and
• he didn't like the thoughts of the other girls
• him. "Nothing like that. He's a normal guy
• carefully notice his face? It seems to be the worst.
• He's actually a bad looking guy. I do not know how
• you girls were attracted to him."
• Mithila understood the meaning behind it
• the words Neethu spoke. She could sense her
• affection and possessiveness towards Rithick.
• “Neethu! Stop talking like a damn fool. Please
• you checked your eyes."
• "He is my friend. I liked his gentle nature better."
• than his beauty."
• Heera was shocked. "What? Rithick is your boyfriend?"
• Let me spread the word.”
• Neethu anxiously asked, “What is wrong with this?
• Why are you acting like this?"
• Heera shouted, "Girls! Everyone listened. Please."
• do not further describe Mr. Rithick's character
• because he is Miss Neethu's friend. She won't do it
• as a description of him."
• The girls rushed forward. someone shouted
• "Who is the bloody girl, Neetha?"
• Heera raised Neethu's hand and introduced her
• to roommates. “It is Neethu, lover
• nature and now she says that Rithick is her friend.'
• All the girls started teasing Neetha. They applauded
• their hands, they laughed at her and some whistled.
• Neethu stood without batting an eye. She was the happiest
• a girl in her hometown, but here the situation has come
• reverse. She was ashamed to stand in front
• of these girls. She hid her face behind her
• hands.
• Shantra walked up, a tall girl with a fair build.
• She directed a large gang on the very first day. Royal
• Loyal girls attached themselves to her. Shantra was one
• classmate Neethu laughed at her. “Hi Neetha.
• Rithick may be your friend but he will be mine
• love."
• Neethu did not say a word to anyone. Her eyes got foggy. Her heart ached at the scene ahead
• from her. Tears welled up in her eyes, which
• in no time she was drenching the cheeks of... Neethu
• the cheerful face drowned. Tears seeped through
• Her face.
• Mithila wiped Neethu's cheeks and said, “No
• take care Neetha. Let's go to our room. Come on.”
• Neethu didn't look at anyone as she followed her
• Mithila with downcast eyes.
• The door was already open. Shanu and Rishwana had fun together. They noticed Mithila and
• Neethu enters the room. They both looked
• to be exhausted.
• Shanu asked, "Hey, what happened? Why are you."
• do they both look so boring?"
• Mithila explained the incident that happened
• earlier in the hostel. Neetha had tears streaming down her face
• faces. Her friends couldn't stand it. They felt
• terrible after seeing the most magical and energetic
• a girl with a lifeless face.
• Her boyfriend tried hard to comfort her. They gave
• i hope they will be with her the whole time. Neetha
• she was lucky to get her friends…
