50. Blossoming Spring Days

Rithick's POV

"Who is Neethu?" Nethra asked shocking me. Of course! It is a wrong question in wrong time. My mom stared at me. I didn't reply as I have no option. I realized how hard it is for a man to face the ladies? I bowed my head down and stepped to escape from the place and stopped by seeing my real savior. Of course! He is my savior, Rahul. He understood the situation by seeing me and he stepped closer to me.

"Rahul! Mom was burning in fire. Riya and Nethra were pouring water and oil together in the fire," I whispered slowly that only he could hear.

"Tell me Rithick, did you have any girlfriends? Or Let me take your silence as yes!" Nethra asked me again.

"You don't know that Neethu is anna's girl friend. She is so cute like you Nethra" Riya chuckled. Nethra opened her eyes wide in shock.

"Rithick! Is it dream? I want to see her?" She jumped out of joy. We could see our old Nethra back. Yes! She is back. I could see a change in everyone's face. They were happy to see Nethra filled with happiness.

This is the power of my girl. She makes everyone happy even in her absence. I miss you sweetheart.

I didn't open my mouth. I looked at my mom. Hopefully, my mom likes Neethu. She had presented a gift for Neethu when she came for my mom's birthday. My mom broke the silence as she doesn't want to disappoint Nethra.

"Rithick is not as what we think," she sounds softer but she said sarcastically only I and Rahul could understand.

"Great!" Nethra smiled.

Riya and Nethra went from there.

"Mom, I will tell you whatever happened. I regret myself for excluding away from you about a month!" I pleaded. She looked at me gently. I knew well about my mom she can't see me even in dull voice.

"I love Neethu. She became my life as you became life for dad. Mom, I can't live without her. Trust me mom, she will be a good daughter in law for you. I didn't even imagine that I would fall for a girl but she was far different from other girls. Her good heart makes me to fall for her," I opened my heart. I was more to tell but I stopped in between.

"You have chosen the daughter in law for me right? But I am sorry Rithick" She said in bit serious tone.

"No but's mom. Your son will be broken," I said slowly.

"I need a daughter not daughter in law, my dear son. I knew already that you are in love with her but I waited to know it from you. I knew she is best for you" she said sarcastically that makes smile arose in the corner of my lips.

"Thank you mom," I jumped out of happiness and hugged my mom.

"Where did you go these many days? Did you take the tablets as prescribed by the doctor? Can't you remember me at least once in a week? Do you know how much I was worried about you?" She said worriedly. Her tears touches my hand. I broke the hug and wiped off my mom's tears. Really I regret myself for making my mom cry.

"Mom, I will tell you everything that happened in my crazy life," I said about Shantra-John spurgen-their silly plans-to trap Neethu & other girls-back to India in between and I stopped....  now I dropped Neethu in her home.

My mom stood shockingly and I could see happiness in my mom's face, "I am really happy to have you as my son. You have brilliantly handled everything. How a girl can do such sin to other girls? Will Neethu be safe in her home town?" She asked with concern.

"Mom! If you grant me permission I will take her to our home now," I said innocently. Rahul winked at me.

My mom smiled.

"Rithick! The Matter is serious. Let me inform this to Ruthra so that we no need to worry much about it," my mom said in fear. She cared for her daughter so called Neethu.

"Mom! Shantra & co are not that much worth. Don't disturb uncle regarding it. He has lot of serious cases to handle out. Leave it to me," I said in cool voice.

"Okay Rithick," Finally my Mom accepted My love-my decision etc. I was happy. Rahul was much happier than me. I was happy for Rahul & Nethra. Thank God! Miracles happened in our life. Twin happiness. Today is the first day I felt my happiness heartfully after my love because usually I felt pity for my Rahul and his love. May God shower this happiness in my Rahul's life ever.

I and Rahul shifted to our room. He told me that happened between him and Nethra about her worst past-her dad's betrayal-Gautham& his dad's death- about police officer Vidharth-his death-Baby

"So cruel past, Rahul. Poor Nethra! We never even dreamt about her life would be like hell. How did her dad do such worst things to his daughter? I will kill him if I see him again in my life," I said angrily.

"Nethra has already faced everything worst in her life, Rithick. Leave about her stupid dad. We have to make her happy through all means," said Rahul in concern.

Rahul excused in between and he went down. I took my mobile and found 24 missed calls from Neethu. Oh shit! I kept my mobile in bag. I called her back for many times but she didn't attend the phone. Hopefully, she would be busy. I send a text message.

Sorry Neethu I didn't see your calls, I landed safely... I convinced mom...Nethra came to our home...Rahul is back to happy! You can see new Hero in the name of Rahul....Love you sweety....Miss you..

I texted and send everything in message. I looked at the photos we took together. The memories flashes and give me heavenly feelings until the moment I realised that I was alone missing Neethu. I drank water. I took cold shower and changed to casual attire. I checked the mobile. She didn't call or message me. I kept the mobile in my pocket and came down.

I noticed everyone accompanied in the hall filled with laughter and entertainment. Unlike usual, everyone was happy in my home today. This is because of the presence of Nethra and baby. I found Rahul along with Nethra. Riya with the baby. My lips occupied a smile to Rahul and Nethra together. As a person from distant, I could find their heart bloomed with love again. They makes the best pair. Rahul noticed my presence and he called me. I walked towards him with a wide smile. I took the baby from Riya..

Surprisingly, Dad and Ruthra Uncle came to home earlier. They joined with us too. They never missed the chance to be with the family though they are busy bees. We had great fun but I missed my Neethu. I checked my mobile often forgetting that my mobile in general sound mood.

Later, we had supper together. Nethra, baby and Riya went to bed earlier. We were still in chatting session.

"What about that alliance matching? Did they suits our family? Hopefully! You will choose best pair. We should arrange this marriage as heaven showering its blessing, Ruthra anna," Dad said to Ruthra uncle. I and Rahul didn't get anything and we gazed each other strangely. I was really shocked and looked at mom. Mom and aunty were looking at them casually.

"What the hell is happening here?" Rahul whispered in my ears.

Dad and Ruthra uncle were talking about marriage. I and Rahul gave a confused look.

"No Sanjay! They didn't suits our family because they are so curious about our wealth and reputations. We can see better match for our Riya," Ruthra Uncle said that clears our doubt. The match is for Riya!!!! I could see relaxation in Rahul's face too. He winked at me. I smiled at him back.

"Oh! Damit. We should be careful in selecting a good pair for her. We shall take our own time," said my dad seriously.

"Riya is still a baby for us, I didn't even imagine about her Marriage!!! Poor brothers we are," I whispered in Rahul's ear. Happiness & sadness together occupied my face because we love Riya a lot. She never forget to cheer up and I could see the same in Rahul's face too.

In between, I got a call and I excused myself from the talk. I took my mobile immediately from my pocket thinking as Neethu. It was my friend Vivek Kishore (cyber crime expert) who helped me in Malaysia for handling Shantra's case.

"Hey Kishore! Any issues?" I asked seriously because he won't call unnecessarily.

"Yes Rithick! a bit serious. John spurgen reached India today. Till he reached India, we get the signal and after that the signal was cut off. I am sure he was in India. Being a busy cruel man, he should reach India only for a purpose, I guessed so. Also I traced Shantra's mobile to get some clues. Both there signals were cut at the same location. So they had a clear sketch plan to take revenge of you & Neethu. So better inform to Ruthra uncle to deal this case Rithick. I can't help more than this," he said seriously.

"Cold blooded idiots. I will kill those filthy souls. In Malaysia, that idiot escaped from me only because of Rahul. Let him reach here, I will show him the grave," words passed furiously.

"Rithick! They are dangerous than what we think. Hopefully, They have a strong background. First, we have to find out that so better inform it to Ruthra uncle. Don't take unnecessary risk Rithick," he said caringly with serious tone.

"Hmm" I hummed to stop the conversation. We hanged the call. Again, I joined with the chatting session.

"Why are you looking dull?" Rahul whispered.

"What happened Rithick? Are you ok? Who called you?" My dad asked me.

"I am okay!" I gave the fake smile.

"Are you sure?" Again dad asked me.

"Yes dad! Kishore called me..No issues dad," I said hiding everything.

"You mean Vivek Kishore? How is he?" Mom asked at once.

"He is fine mom! He will come to our home on coming Sunday," I said. Everyone in my family knew him. They love him. He was my school & college friend. Rahul was bit jealous of him in college days because he was more possessive about me. If we three joined together, we will go on crazy. After 2 years, we are going to meet each other again.

"Why can't we choose our Kishore for our beloved Riya? He matches her very well. He will take care of our Riya without any expectations. We knew about him and his family members well. They are good hearted too," my dad said that what I think in my mind just a few seconds back. I was very happy to give my sister to Kishore. Even Riya knew about him well.

"I am happy with your decision Sanjay. Let us invite their family on Sunday to proceed further. Is everyone okay with it?" Uncle asked looking us. Everyone is happy with it. Before this talk no one ever dreamt of Kishore for Riya. Of course! Matches are already fixed in heaven and I believed it is!

Later, I and Rahul shifted to our room. Rahul felt sleepy and he slept earlier. Kishore's words echoed in my ears. I scared for Neethu. The incidents that happened in Malaysia rolled up my mind.

Neethu was not aware of it. Only I, Rahul and kishore knew it. I don't want to share this to Neethu to make her scare. She kept on asking about that idiot Shantra but I ignored it.

I knew Shantra came to India after two days of our return. It was not safe for Neethu so we shifted from place to place. She found out our place wherever we shifted. She could found our place only by using mobile signal as we traced her. So I took the mobile from Neethu wantedly and to fool Shantra I kept it in the tent and we escaped to the resort. I was peaceful in the resort for about five days. It was the most beautiful memorable days in my life. Now again that bullshit idiots is playing with me. I was in full rage and in extreme anger.

My phone ranged in wrong time.

"Rithick!" Neethu jumped out of happiness.

"Hey Neethu!" My anger vanished in a second at once I heard my girls voice. How that fucking creatures can even think to spoil my queen's life?

"Your voice is so dull? Why? I read your message and happy that mom accepted," she said gently.

"Why didn't you attend my phone?" I asked in bit serious tone.

"Sorry Rithick! I went to temple so I kept my mobile in home. Why didn't you sleep yet?" She asked me concernly. I looked at the clock, the time was 2.30 a.m. I forgot my sleep due to those devils.

"Can't you inform me before going? Don't go anywhere. I will come within two days to pick you back," I said seriously.

"Why are you scolding me Rithick? Are you still angry? I am sorry," she pleaded makes my heart melt. I didn't scold her but my voice was bit serious. Yes! I was nervous now. My girl is there making me to scare.

"Nope! I didn't scold you Neethu. Love you sweety. Take care of you. I will call you tomorrow," I said to hang because my mood was not good. Sometimes I may hurt my Neethu.

"No! No! I won't," she said mocking a kid. I smiled.

"Ok tell me. What else?" I asked her smiling.

"Love you Rithick" she said pouting.

"Love you too my dearly wife,"

We talk till 4.50 a.m. Finally, after a huge risk I made her to hang the call. She is my heavenly Angel. Thoughts about her occupied me.

I drifted off to sleep slowly.

"Leave her!" I yelled

"Your death is in my hands," I shouted

"Rithick! What happened?" Someone shooked me. I pushed him with full power.

"Rithick! Are you ok?" I came out slowly from the horrible dream.

"A worst nightmare, Rahul" I said and drank the water. I opened my eyes slowly.

"Rahul! Are you ok?" I asked looking at him with smile. I realized that I tore the pillow and the cotton from the pillow were in air and I found many in Rahul's hair. He looks to be funny.

"I will never ever sleep next to you again, Rithick," he chuckled

"It is ok Rahul. I didn't beat you right?" I asked to clear my doubt because in my dream there is a fight scene with cruel bloody John Spurgen.

He stared at me that makes me to laugh.

"Don't give such expressions Rahul. See that horrible dream turned me to go on crazy because of you my lovable brother," I giggled. He winked at me.

Sometimes later, we came downstairs until then we don't know that there was a surprise waiting for us.
