Neethu's POV
Shantra insulted me and played with my self respect. Is it my sin that I belongs to middle class family? I never felt bad for that at any time. My parents will give me whatever I wish. They grew me as a little princess. My village friends treated me as Queen. I was the most happiest person in my home town.

I have hurted Rithick unknowingly otherwise he would never behave like this to me. Just now I have noticed his missed calls. How could I make him to understand the situation? What if he came to know that I have drunk yesterday? What if he came to know about Shantra's torcher? How will I reveal it to him? If Rithick asked me anything, I couldn't hide anything. I want to hug him and will reveal everything to him.

After an hour, I was getting ready to college. As there was water problem in our room, I went to washroom to take bath. I took my dresses and went there. I took bath and searched for the towel to dry my hair. I was shocked that my dress was missing. I opened the door slightly and searched for my friends but no one was found there. I noticed Shantra coming at distance at once I closed the door because she will always find reason to insult me.

"You bloody Neethu! How dare are you to close the door seeing me?" She shouted. My body shooked at the moment she shouted at me. I was scared that she will do something. If I call her using her name she will hurt me the most.

"Madam, I missed my clothes in the way. Please take it and give me" I begged her.

"Very Good! Come on Neethu. We are waiting for you" she kidding me together with her friends.

I don't know what to do right at the moment. I can't go out as I have half dressed. I decided to stand there till my friends come. I am sure Mithila will come in search of me. Fortunately, I heard Mithila's voice.

I yelled, "Mithila! Please help me" she understood the situation and picked up my dress that was with Shantra and gave it to me. I cried. I wore the dress immediately and came out. Everyone laughed at me. I felt ashamed to look at them. I came running to my room. Mithila consoled me and after an hour later. We went to college.

I saw Rithick and Rahul in the classroom. My dull face turned to bright at once. I walked towards them with a smile. Rahul smiled at me back but Rithick didn't show any sigh. I sat besides Rithick. I tried to talk with Rithick but he avoided me. He averted his gaze and he was talking with Rahul.

In between, Shantra entered the class. I didn't show any reaction. Mithila looked at me and she winked at me to tell Shantra's torture to Rithick. I don't want to blame her to Rithick but I wish to talk to him as usual but he didn't even look at me. I tried to talk with him for many times but everything went in vain. What shall I do now?

Meanwhile, the class in charge came. She informed both  Rithick and Shantra to meet the Chairman of the college.

Hesitantly, Rithick stood up and he didn't look at me. He went first and Shantra followed him.

I looked at Rahul, "Rahul! Why didn't Rithick talk to me? It hurts me badly. I can't tolerate it. Please, Rahul! Ask him to talk" I said worriedly.

"Don't worry Neethu! He will talk to you. Why didn't you attend his call yesterday?" He asked me.

I blinked and tried to manage the situation, "I was not well yesterday so I slept earlier, Rahul"

"What happened to you? Are you ok now?" Asked him.

"I am alright Rahul" I said. My eyes are looking outside for Rithick's arrival.

From a distance I could see Rithick's shirt. As he came closer it was shock to my eyes. He was accompanying with Shantra. They were walking very closer as their hands touched. Rithick was smiling for her talk. They entered the class. The students were looking differently because everyone was aware that Rithick won't talk with any girls except me.

Some girls yelled, "Shantra! You are too lucky. As you said, Rithick makes you best pair"

I was shocked hearing that but one more shock was waiting for me. Rithick was smiling for that. I saw Rahul and he gazed at me back. I was speechless. Even, Rahul was blinking.

Rithick came nearer to our bench. He asked Rahul to vacate my place and shift to next. I was unbelievable. I didn't move. I was gazing at his eyes but he averted his gaze again.

"I tell you to shift your Place" Rithick said angrily as I didn't obey his words.

I was scared and just shifted my place to next.

"Rahul sit next to Neethu" he ordered. Rahul came and sit next to me.

Next to Rahul, Rithick and Shantra sit together. I never expected this. What effects did the half an hour done to Rithick? Why was he behaving insane?  As I was drunk yesterday I became unconscious so I didn't find his call, Is it my mistake? For that, Did he is behaving like this to punish me?
Did Shantra tell something bad about me? Questions are spinning my head. Unknowingly, tears formed in my eyes.

I heard Rithick's laugh for Shantra's talk. I turned my head right to look at him. While talking, Shantra was trying to touch his fingers. She touched several times, Rithick didn't bothered about anything. Tears shed from my eyes. Rahul and Mithila were looking at me worriedly. I wiped my tears.

"Rithick! Why are you behaving insane? Are you mad?" Rahul shouted at him.

"Rahul, What did I do? Why are you shouting at me now?" Rithick questioned back.

"You are doing wrong, Rithick. Why did you ask Neethu to shift her place?" He asked angrily.

Shantra starred at me.

"She is my new friend, Rahul. She was good by heart but we didn't find it. Often I insulted her but she never bothered. Be friendly with her," said Rithick to Rahul. Rahul starred at Rithick. It broke my heart into several pieces. Is Rithick was not good by heart? Did he has many girls in his life? My stupid mind was thinking something differently.

"Rithick! I was very much confused with your behavior. I don't want to discuss anything now but don't hurt Neethu. She wants to talk with you," said Rahul.

Rithick gazed at me today for the first time. I was happy. My tears fade. He was paused. Did he struck at me as usual? Or did he avoid to talk with me? In between Shantra was trying to change him. What will happen next?
