Amrutha took Dhruv's mobile number and went inside the house.
As soon as she entered the house, her father yelled at her, " why are you late home?".
Then she lied that she is with Dhruv. On hearing, Dhruv's name her father didn't say anything.
She released her breath who she was holding for a long time. She went inside the room and locked the door.
She immediately made a call to Dhruv. As he was still driving, he didn't attend the call. She started trying to call him again and again.
Dhruv doesn't know who was calling continuously, he felt irritated and greeted the person rudely through the phone.
" Dont you have a brain? If the person is not attending the call means he is busy?" He yelled over the person.
"Sorry to disturb you. It's me Amrutha. I want to talk with you. So I made a call to you" she apologized.
"It's okay. I thought it is useless to call. I don't have your contact number. If I knew that the call is from you, I never shouted at you" Dhruv replied.
" Okay, listen carefully. I lied to my dad that I am with you from the evening. If my brother or my father calls you. Please..." She requested him.
" What?" Dhruv startled.
" Yeah. ..I lied because I can't say that I went to a restaurant alone with Mithu. If my father came to know where I went he will shout at me" She whined.
" Okay. But don't lie to anyone. It's very wrong." Dhruv advised.
" Hmmm. Good night." She disconnected the call.
The next day, she went to her college but her friend, Mithuna giving her the silent treatment. She got upset with her behavior and went to meet Aditya.
She searched everywhere in college. Finally, she found him in the playground while he was practicing football.
" Aditya..." She screamed.
It was the first time in college, some junior came to meet senior without fear. Immediately, Aditya came out of the playground to meet her.
" Tell me...Do you want to talk with me?" He questioned.
" I am so angry at you. I want to slap you" she spoke up.
" Why?" He asked.
" Because of you, my friend stopped talking with me. If I didn't help you, she would talk with me like always" she said angrily.
" Come with me. I will ask your friend" he dragged her to their class.
Mithuna was not in the classroom. Usually, she used to spend most of her time in the library if there are no classes. As they guessed, she was reading a book in the library.
Aditya and Amrutha sat opposite her.
" Shall we friends from today?" Aditya asked Amrutha.
On hearing the voice in the library, Mithuna raised her head and looked at them. She looked with shock at seeing Amrutha beside him.
She stood up and dragged Amrutha outside the library.
" You idiot, why are you talking with that asshole?" Mithuna yelled at her.
" Why should I listen to you? You stopped talking to me" Amrutha pouted.
" He is not a good guy. Stay away from him" she explained.
" If I stop talking to him. Will you talk to me?" Amrutha questioned her.
" Okay. But we have to go away from this place" Mithuna dragged Amrutha.
Suddenly, Aditya stopped both of them extending his hand, and blocked their way. He moved closer to Mithuna.
" So...I am looking like a bad guy?" He asked mithuna and looked at Amrutha.
" No" Amrutha replied.
" See...your friend knows about me." he grinned.
" She is so innocent that she believes everyone" Mithuna retorted.
" Then what about you?" She moved to her.
" You are scaring my friend. Go away" Amrutha pushed him.
" I am not scaring your friend. I love her and she too loves me but she is not ready to accept it" Aditya said looking at Mithuna.
" I don't love anyone. Stop imagining yourself. I am here to study. Don't disturb me again" she said looking at him.
" Okay...tell me, looking into my eyes" Aditya pulled Mithuna closer to him.
" Please leave me..." Mithuna started crying.
" Aditya...leave her. My friend is crying because of you. Don't try to talk with us again." Amrutha warned him.
Amrutha and Mithuna went to the canteen in college. Mithuna was sitting silently.
" I am sorry about yesterday. Please forgive me" Amrutha requested her.
Mithuna looked at her and said, " I never see such an innocent person who doesn't have any idea of evil around us"
" That means... the devil is there in our college?" Amrutha asked naively.
" No dear. Nowadays, some humans have an evil mind. So don't trust anyone blindly. " she said gently stroking on her cheeks.
" That means... Aditya has an evil mind?" Amrutha asked her.
Mithuna had a bitter past which no one knows. Her father was from a rich family. He married his mother for his enjoyment. After two years, he left them by marrying another woman. From childhood, she hates her father very much. She was determined in her mind to not fall in love with anyone because she hates the feeling of love and rich people. She used to notice her mother's tears behind her smile. When she was 10 years old, her mother married again. Her stepfather is a kind person who took after them carefully. She respects him very much.
"I don't know about Aditya but I don't believe anyone so easily. Especially the person who is from a rich family " Mithuna answered.
Amrutha looked at her confusingly because she doesn't understand the meaning of her words.
While they were talking, Karthik made a call to Amrutha to inform her that he would be late as he was practicing football in the playground. If she wants to go home, she can leave.
Amrutha and Mithuna sat in the canteen as all classes were canceled due to football practice at the ground. They ordered snacks and tea in the canteen. They had a chit chat for one hour having their snacks in the canteen. After that Mithuna left the canteen as she used to go for home tutoring.
Then she got an idea to do buy a gift for Karthik on his birthday. Immediately, she made a call to Dhruv and explained to him that Karthik is busy with football practice and want Dhruv to come to the college to go shopping together. At that time he was busy in the office meeting, so he denied to come to pick her from college. He informed her to go directly to the home.
Being a stubborn girl, Amrutha ignored Dhruv's words and went alone to the shopping without informing anyone at home. When she was in the shopping mall, Dhruv called her to know whether she reached safely home or not. Then she informed him that she came to shopping alone. She bought a watch and a T-shirt for Karthik.
While she was paying the bill for the items, Dhruv entered seriously into the shopping mall. He dragged her hand fuming in anger.
" What are you thinking of yourself? Did I tell you to go home then why did come alone for shopping? " Dhruv yelled at her.
" I am not a small kid. I want to buy a gift for Karthik, you denied to come. So I came alone. " she answered.
" We can go shopping tomorrow. What is the hurry ?" He asked.
" You didn't tell me that you will take me tomorrow. So I came alone" she replied.
" Do you want to see what I bought for Karthik?" She asked casually whereas he was losing his patience with her carelessness.
"Hi ...Mr. Dhruv. What a pleasant surprise! Are you here for shopping? Is this the urgent work that you leave in the middle of the meeting?" One person asked Dhruv.
Dhruv was shocked by Mr. Lalith's presence.
" That...some sort of urgent work" Dhruv stuttered.
" Is she your girlfriend?" Mr.Lalith asked, looking at Amrutha.
" Yes. He came here for me. I am his girlfriend" Amrutha replied.
" Oh...Your girlfriend is very beautiful. Enjoy yourself" That person left with a smile.
" Thanks for the compliment" Amrutha smiled at him.
" Why did you say that you are my Girlfriend?" Dhruv shouted.
