Neethu's POV

I was not aware about why Rithick and Rahul hide it from me? I can't tolerate it because I believed them a lot. I am totally confused. For the first time, I am getting anger, I hope. If Rithick and Rahul were nearer to me I will beat and punch them severely. Rithick may get extra punching too.

How dare were you? Tomorrow you both will get from me.

I am in the anger mode still I can't mistake them. I know about them very well but my mind can't accept it.

Riya was gazing at me. I don't know how to react with her. I simply smiled at her.

"Please, you don't mistake my brothers. Forgive them Neethu. They were lovely persons and my cute brothers," said Riya.

I shook my head. I was curious to know about them more.

"Riya! I like both Rithick and Rahul. At first, I was shocked and got anger with them but it don't even extend for about five minutes. I often feel proud about their friendship. I felt happy for them Riya. I had never seen two cousins like them. Their unity makes everyone proud,"

"Yeah! Of course Neethu. Do you know one thing?" She asked.

I asked "What?" Curiously

"We were in Delhi for about past 5 years. Rithick anna's family was in Tamil Nadu. Weekly three days, Rithick and Rahul anna were in Delhi and remaining days they were in Tamil Nadu. In rare cases, they won't be together,"

"Interesting Riya!"

"Do you know? Rithick anna didn't talk with Rahul anna when he is in love," said her.

"Why Rithick don't like to be in love?" I asked. I know something was there.

"Rithick anna won't talk with any girls. He won't believe anyone so he can't permit Rahul anna to have in love relationship. After that he understood that Rahul anna's selection was good. Rithick anna supported them to his best," said Riya.

"Wow! Who is that lucky girl? Where is she? Really I'm happy a lot to know about them. Why Rithick don't talk with any girls? He talks well with me, Riya?" I asked her with doubtful eyes.

"You will know about Rahul anna's girlfriend when the time comes," said her. "Neethu! Rithick anna talks only with you and not others. Have you seen ever Rithick anna talking with any girls?" asked her.

I was thinking, "Nope! You are right Riya." I have doubt, "Then why he was talking with me alone?"

"Because he loves you Neethu!" said her.

'Oh God! Unknowingly, I revealed out your personal, Sorry Rithick anna! What I will do now? Neethu was staring at me, I want to convince her. God! Help me please' Riya said to herself.

"Love?" I popped out my eyeballs.

Riya asked me, "What is the difference between Rithick LIKES Neethu and Rithick LOVES Neethu" The question was too different and interesting to me . I was blinking.

"The difference between LIKE and LOVE was well said by Buddha that if you LIKE a flower, you will pluck it and if you LOVE the flower, you will admire the beauty of the flower" said her.

"Somehow I managed. Thanks God" Riya murmured to herself

I was mesmerized by her answer.

"I didn't LIKE Rithick instead I LOVE Rithick, How is it Riya?" I asked.

"Aww! Superb. Rithick anna will be happy if he hear it from you, Neethu"

I nodded the head looking at her. She smiled at me.

It was sunday, the time was about
3 a.m.

"Neethu! It's time. Let us sleep,"

I don't know when I have slept.

I was unable to open my eyelids. I could hear devotional song somewhere around me. It's pleasant to my ears. I wrapped the blanket around from my foot to head and I started sleeping again.

Suddenly, My mind strikes me it was Rithick's home. I wake up from the bed immediately, I begged my eyelids to open. Then I searched for Riya. She was not there.

After few seconds, I refreshed myself. I opened the door and went out. No one was there. I noticed the clock was ticking 10 a.m. I was scared because of the new surrounding. I don't know how Rithick's mom will treat me?

"Hello! Neethu madam" I could hear Rithick's sound and I turned towards my right side to see him.

"Hello! Morning, Rithick" I chuckled.

"Morning Neethu! You looked so beautiful," said Rithick. I know he was Kidding me. My short hairs were spreaded around my forehead. I took the hair and put it behind my ear.

I smiled at him.

"Where is Riya?" I asked him

"Riya went to temple along with mom and Rahul," said him.

I gazed at him differently. He asked me to read the newspaper. I was quiet and turned ON the T.V.

After few minutes he brought a cup of coffee. He gave it to me. I gazed at Rithick without uttering a word. He cared me a lot.

"Neethu! Have the coffee," said him

"Yup Rithick!" I said and my eyes didn't forget to gaze at him. I could feel the change in me. His eyes was doing something in me.

"Neethu! What happened to you?" He asked.

"Nope" I said. I had the coffee. He get the coffee cup from me. My fingers slightly touches his fingers. It was such an amazing feelings. I gazed at him with shy eyes like I have never touched him before.

'Oh God! What is going on? He is your friend! that's all Neethu. Come out of your feelings Neethu,' My mind reminded me.

"Something happened to me" I murmured.

He was sitting in the next couch besides me. He took two apples and started cutting.

"Neethu! Why are you silent today? Talk something Neethu," said him. He gave pieces of apple to me. I have got it from him without words.

My mind requested me to don't look at him or his eyes. So, I took the remote and started changing the channels. I have kept in Sun Music channel.

I enjoyed watching it. I didn't looked at Rithick. The next song is from "Paiya" movie though it is my favorite song. I think that the song would suit my situation so I took the remote and tried to change the channel.

"Neethu! Keep that song. Don't change it please," he requested me.

I asked him "Why?"

"Do you want me to tell the truth or lie?" asked him.

"You cheat! Already you have hidden the cousin relationship. Wait, you and Rahul will get it from me," I murmured to myself.

"Tell me the truth itself," I sighed.

"It's the exact song which tells my feelings for my girl," said him.

"Is it? Your girl? Who is that?" I asked him with shocking eyes.

"First, listen the song Neethu," said him.

I watched the TV with irritating eyes. Though I have heard the song for about more than 100 times, it's like first time I am watching the song.

There is no time for me to tell my love...
(En kadhal solla neram illai)

There is no need for you to tell your love...
(Un kadhal solla thevai illai)

There is no words to describe our love
(Nam kadhal solla vaarthai illai)

The truth will never be hidden even if its hidden.
(Unmai maraithalum maraiyathadi)

I am not waiting to hold your hands!!! I have no wish to lean on your shoulder!!! There is no sadness after your gone!!!
I don't know how to tell such lies
(Un kaiyil sera engavillai! Un tholil saaya aasaiyillai! Nee pona pimbu sogam illai!
Endru poi solla theriyathadi)

Cause of your beauty! Cause your beauty! My hot season is now rainy season.
( Un azhagale un azhagale! En veyil kaalam adhu mazhai kaalam)

Cause of your dreams! Cause of your dreams! The heart would fly and would slowly derail.
( Un kanavale Un kanavale! Manam alaipaayum mella kudai saayum)

If you speak with the wind by your hands there is a storm in my heart.
(Kaatrodu kai vaesi nee pesinaal endhan nenjodu puyal veesudhe)

If love comes, it's through the eyes only. Will the acting come and live on?
( kadhal vanthale kannodu dhan kallathanam vanthu kudi yerumo?)

I acted a little and suffered a little, I enjoyed this game.
(Konjam nadithenadi konjam thudithenadi, intha vilayatai rasithenadi)

By your eyes, by your eyes! My eyes changes and its uncertain.
(Un vizhiyale un vizhiyale! En vazhi maarum kan thadumaarum)

This is new kind of longing, the heart will accept it even if it feels pain.
(Adi ithu yetho oru puthu yekkam idhu valithalum nenjam adhai yerkum)

"It's enough Rithick! I can't see it more," I said and turned off the Tv.

"Why Neethu? What happened?" He asked me.

"Nothing!" I said.

'Am I possessive over Rithick?' I asked myself.

"Rithick! Drop me to the hostel. I am going," I said without looking him.

"Neethu! Anything happened wrong. Today, You are not as usual. Did I hurt you Neethu? Or did I do any mistakes?," he asked.

"Yup! I have hidden the truth" I said

"What?" He asked with tensed eyes.

I paused for a minute. I couldn't hide it from him, "Why you have hidden it from me that you both were cousins?"

His face turned pale. His smile vanished. He sit without words. He took away his eyes from me and looked down.

"Yeah Neethu! Rahul is my cousin. We both have never tried to hide it from you. The situation made us like this. Don't mistake my Rahul. Everything is my mistake," said him.

Meanwhile Rahul and Riya came.

"Hey Rithick! Why are you dull man?" asked Rahul and he sit besides Rithick. Rithick said everything to him.

"Neethu! First of all sorry. Don't mistake my Rithick. He was too good" said Rahul, worriedly.

Neethu gazed at Rithick, Rahul and Riya.

"Nope! I never forgive you both" I said

"Neethu, please!" Rahul said. Rithick didn't open his mouth.

"How dare you were? Always you both communicating through eyes! Twisted smile etc etc," I said with high pitched voice but I can't act more like I am in anger.

I winged my eyes at Riya. She took the photo shoot of her both brothers. Then, I get the mobile from her and looked the photo. I couldn't control my laughter. I laughed loudly by seeing the reaction of Rithick and Rahul.

Rithick and Rahul gazed with confused eyes. I showed the photo to them. They smiled at me.

"Thanks Neethu!" said them

"No problem. Don't worry! I can't see you all in worries. I am lucky to have you all in my life. I have never seen such brother's bond and sister relationship. I am proud to be with you all" I said whole heartedly. I was longing to be with them.
