Neethu's cheerful face had drowned out. The tears drenched her face. Mithila wiped the tears of Neethu saying, "Don't worry Neethu! Let's go to our room. Come on!"

Neethu didn't look at anyone and she followed Mithila with wetted eyes.

The door was opened already, Shanu and Rishwana had a fun times together. They noticed Mithila and Neethu entering into the room. They both seemed to be exhausted.

Shanu asked, "Hey, What happened? Why both seemed to be dull?"

Mithila explained the incident happened in the hostel. Neethu's tears rolled down towards her cheeks. Her friends couldn't endure the incident. They felt awful by seeing the most charming and energetic girl with liveliness face.

Her friends tried to solve the situation.

Rishwana said, "We are there for you Neethu! We want our cheerful Neethu back. Please give a smile Neethu."

Shanu said, "Of course, Neethu! You should be happy hereafter. You don't care about anyone Neethu. Please, do it for us."

Mithila said, "Hey, Neethu! I know about your affection towards Rithick. He will be your's always. Also, Don't forget us Neethu! We are your friends. Whatever the situation may be, We will be with you Neethu!"

Neethu with wetted eyes saying, "I am happy to get you all as my friends. Also, I want Rithick as my friend."

Mithila replied, "Of course Neethu! We are there for you including Rithick. You don't mind that girls."

Neethu felt very much happy for her friend's words. She felt proud to get such friends. She don't want her friends to be sad again.

She stretched her right hand and her friends holded the hand alternate to each other. Neethu with a smile said, "We are friends forever."

Her friends said, "This is our Neethu! Seemed to be beautiful! Right?"

Neethu showed her cutest shy smile, "My friends too looking awesome!"

Shanu kidding Neethu, "Hey Neethu! Did you like Rithick?"

Neethu said, "Of course! I like him. He is my friend."

Rishwana said, "Then Rithick is our friend too. Introduce him, when time favours."

Neethu smiled and said, "Sure I will introduce you all to Rithick and Rahul, who is my new brother!"

"Ok Neethu!" said her friends. They felt happy to see Neethu back to normal. They had fun talks together till late midnight and had a sound sleep.

Next Morning

The alarm ringed and made Neethu to open her eyes. She snoozed off the alarm. The time was 6.30 a.m. She woke up and made her friends to wake up. She opened the door and windows. The morning seemed to be more beautiful by the blossoms of attractive tulip flowers around the hostel. The singing birds, colourful butterflies etc added additional beauty.

Mithila said, "Hey, Neethu! It's enough admiring the nature. We are late already."

Neethu smiled and said, "I will be ready at correct time but what about my friend Mithila?"

Mithila showed her smile. Neethu moved close to Mithila and holded the hands of Mithila.

Mithila asked, "Why? Neethu!"

Neethu showed a strange behaviour and said, "Would you be with me always Mithila?"

Mithila holded her hand tightly,
"I will be always with you Neethu. Rishwana and Shanu also love you a lot. Don't get scared of anything Neethu. Be yourself Neethu."

Neethu's eyes shed a drop of tear mixed with beautiful smile in her face, "Thank you so much Mithila." She hugged Mithila.

"Hey we are here!" said her other two friends.

Neethu excitedly said, "Come on! Joined with us." The four friends had a hug together.

They had a breakfast together and they were get ready to go to the college..

Rithick's Guest house

The beautiful rays of sun falls on the Riya's face to made her open her eyes from deep sleep. She tried to open her eyelids. She noticed the time was 7.30 a.m. She turned her head left, she noticed her both brothers were sleeping peacefully. She don't want to make them woke up.

She could perceive the sound of her mom saying, "Rithick! Rahul! Get up! It's time for your college."

Riya said, "Of course! They will come now!"

Riya tried to wake her brother's up saying, "Rithick and Rahul anna! Get up! Its time for college."

No response from them. She knew that waking her brother's up was not at all easy.

She started quivering the hands of Rahul and Rithick. After a long time of hard work, she made Rahul to wake up.

Rahul said, "Why Riya? I want to sleep girl! You go from here. Don't disturb!"

Riya yelled out, "It's time Rahul! The clock ticks to 8 a.m."

Rahul pulled away his blanket and he get up from bed saying, "Oh God! It's time. Well! my cutie! Happy morning. See Rithick! Sleeping peacefully."

Rahul shaked the hands of Rithick saying, "It's time Rithick! Get up man!" Rithick didn't showed any response. Both get tried of waking him up.

Riya said, "Rahul anna! I have an idea to wake my Rithick anna!"

Rahul blinked at Riya asking, "What?"

Riya smiled and said, "Neethu! come on! See our lazy Rithick is sleeping till now."

Rithick throwed away his blanket and get up from his bed saying, "Neethu came! Where?"

Rahul and Riya bursted out of laughter. Rahul said, "Superb trick Riya! I will make use of it daily!"

Riya smiled and said, "First open your eyes Rithick anna!"

Rithick opened his eyelids, he noticed Rahul and Riya sitting besides him with a big smile.

Rahul exclaimed, "Neethu made you wake up!"

Rithick smiled and said, "You both damn! What a beautiful dream I had! You both disturbed me before the dream came to an end!"

Riya laughed and said, "Rithick anna, you wake up to see your Neethu! It's time to go. Get ready!"

Both Rithick and Rahul were jumped from the bed. They were getting ready for the college.

Both the boys standing infront of the mirror with neatly dressed. Riya noticed both of her brothers were standing for more than 10 minutes.

Riya kidding, "What doing there? Additional beauty will not be added even if you look into the mirror for many times."

Rithick asked, "Riya! How I look? Would Neethu likes me?"

Riya laughed and said, "You both looked like worst creatures in the world."

Rithick and Rahul gazed at each other normally because they knew well about Riya. They paused for a minute for hearing Riya's words because she couldn't like to hurt her brothers even for fun.

Riya moved closed to her brothers and said, "Both of you looking handsome. I like you both."

Rithick and Rahul smiled at Riya and they said "Bye! Take care Riya!"

They reached college within 15 minutes. They were at correct time. Rithick entered the class, he could see Neethu talking with her friend. He want Neethu to gaze him. He was looking at her and moved towards his seat following Rahul.

Neethu gazed Rahul and Rithick, "Morning Rahul brother!" She took her eyes away from Rithick.

Rithick could perceive Neethu was not as usual. Her face seemed to be cheerless. Her eyes was not bright. Her voice was dull. He missed his charming and innocent Neethu. He could perceive that Neethu was in worry but he couldn't get the matter behind her liveliness face.
