After that small introductory session in the court all their friendship developed in the Whatsapp group , where Lakshmi akka without any knowledge acted as a bridge between them. soon the friendship developed and they ended up meeting in the same section regularly ,while few of the meetings were unexpected most of the meetings were totally planned.
both of them made a point to call each other whenever they went to the Court to do the follow up work. This process went on for months and that most of the court staffs came to know about their friendship. some even started expecting both of them to come to court at the same time as these people were so engaging and made the place more lively.
when all of these were happening in the court , on the other hand they were getting close to each other through calls and over texts.
one such call made them even closer.
while Ismail went to his college to write his semester exams, he made frequent calls to Preethi. one fine day after his exam, while he was resting on his bed ,he felt bored and called Preethi and was talking to her, all these days the formal talks between them just broke when he used the word "machan" (a word that means close relative- kind of a kin) to address her. At first he felt sorry for addressing her like that without her consent, but to his surprise she didn't make a fuss out of it, rather she accepted it. She did feel even more closer just like how her other friends in her close circle would make her feel like.
To state the fact , he was the First one that she felt very close to, in the entire 5 to 6 months of her court practice. out of 400 + advocates in the BAR he was the only one who made her feel comfortable and close and she liked it too.
