My Selfness was revealed Because of your friendship…

My admiration was revealed Because of your love …

 

Rajesh, Ashiq, Maha, Veni were involved in doing a project as a group in the final stage of the training which was divided into groups. Rajesh was the leader of the group.

 

“Are you ok? Does your headache KP?” asked Rajesh.

 

With the courtesy of Aashiq, all her badge people started calling Vani as KP.

 

“No not much, I didn’t sleep properly yesterday as I watched a movie at night . Just my eyes are tired” Vani saide to Rajesh who was sitting in front of the computer right to her.

 

“Ask what film she was watching?” Mahalakshmi poked Rajesh to ask Vani.

 

Vani, who was staring at her computer between the two, stared at Maha’s reply.

 

“Wow!!! Something is there?? What movie did you watch, yesterday night?” Rajesh and Aashi who were sitting next to her jokingly asked.

 

“We just watched the family movie. Vivah released in Hindi on Zee channel. We just watched that,” said Vani.

 

“Not we saw it, it’s you who saw the whole movie. Veni and I felt sleepy and called her to switch off the TV. But she refused. We didn’t have a choice so we joined her in watching the movie” said Maha.

 

“Vivah is a family movie for you??” Rajesh asked complainingly, Maha laughed silently looking at Vani.

 

“You…come to the room. I’ll take care of you” whispered Vani to Maha.

 

“That is such a beautiful romantic film. Why are you comparing it to Visu’s family movie?” Rajesh asked,

 

“Well that’s a lovely romantic family film. Agreed!! But for that, I can’t accept what you are saying about Vishu’s film,” Vani scolded Rajesh now.

 

Even though they worked late into the night with the big goal of getting first marks on their team project, they happily chatted and worked with a cheerful heart. The leader of the group, Rajesh and Ashik made it that way.

 

Vani was very impressed with this way of working. These two people have become Vani’s best friends who helped her in achieving her goals without any pressure on mind. This made her naturally respond to all the silly talk.

 

Rajesh is their badge mate. Now Head of the group. Vani’s group worked under his leadership.

 

He is lively. He makes anyone laugh in minutes with his jokes. Anyone who gets to know him will make him feel close to him. But angry and selfish too. Vani did not know the life lesson he was going to teach her due to his selfishness.

 

Aashiq keeps a boundary with everyone. He helps others when they need his help and then acts as if they are somebody.

 

Not an unnecessary word comes out of his mouth.

 

Ever since the beginning, Aashiq has spoken to Vani against his nature.

 

Vani kept in her mind that the small happy events and the moments that made her feel happy was because of her friends , her colleagues and cherished it as she would be transferred to the Chennai branch after three months.

 

This was nothing new to Veni and Maha. Naturally, they passed on the training and the friendships they got.

 

Vani had become close friends with Amsaveni and Maha.

 

Vani had chances to speak with Rajesh as he is her project leader. Vani was very impressed with his personality which made those who came to talk to him laugh in a minute. She felt him as her best friend. He made her feel the same way with his speech. But she didn’t realize that all this was nothing. Later she got hurt by giving a lot of space in her mind.

 

With a week left to complete the three-month training, the training institute threw a party for them. That day became an unforgettable day for all the people.

 

Such a party is new to everyone. However, in three months, the party turned out to be enjoyable as everyone got to know each other.

 

But the reason why this party was an unforgettable day for Vani is different.

 

—

 

They organized a snow bowling game and DJ dance at 3 star hotel Leela Palace followed by dinner at South Indies Hotel.

 

After raucous participation in snow bowling where everyone played, And at DJ party where some girls and all the boys danced, it was eleven o’clock when they left to have dinner .

 

While all the other girls went to their PG with a group of men, Vani, Veni, Maha trio traveled to their PG with Rajesh , Ashiq and some other badge mates.

 

They started walking thinking that PG was one kilometer away from the hotel and continued walking for two hours due to their wrong distance calculation.

 

At night, three women and five men take a walk in the moonlight with a little fear and bravery in mind.

 

Vani liked it very much. She incorporated this incident in the memory vault of her mind. As a photographer, Maha did not fail to capture the interesting events of the day.

 

Maha, who played snow bowling enthusiastically at Leela Palace, calmed down after going to the restaurant for dinner. It seemed to her friends that she was deep in thought.

 

They asked her why she was so quiet and she did not say.

 

That night Vani and Veni went to sleep because of exhaustion, but Maha kept awake remembering Mathi.

 

Her mind traveled through the memories which triggered her memory of the basunthi she had eaten at that restaurant that night along with Mathi.

 

 

 

Four years ago…

 

It was on the day of her admission to college Mathiazhagan witnessed Mahalakshmi for the first time.

 

Mathiazhagan looked like a high-class boy but he is a simple person who gets along with everyone without any discrimination.

 

His parents are government employees. Although he was brought up in a state of great wealth, he is friendly with everyone. A person who respects elders.

 

Having studied in CBSE since childhood, he is fluent in English. He had friendships without discrimination between men and women.

 

In college, both of them studied in the same class, and he was familiar to Maha only as a student in his class.

 

After joining six months in college, he was friendly with everyone, but somehow he couldn’t talk directly to Maha.

 

Whenever he spoke to her, he was at a loss for words. He felt a reluctance enveloping him.

 

He left without thinking about it any further.

 

A day arrived after two semesters, where Maha was in need of Mathi’s help.

 

Maha and Mathi travel in the same college bus.

 

Mathi would get down after Maha as his stop is next to her’s.

 

One day when she got off at her stop, Mathi saw a man following her.

 

Mathi noticed that an unknown man is following her for the past week and also realised Maha knew about it but she didn’t react big.

 

The next day he thought of asking her if there was any problem,

 

But unfortunately he didn’t get a chance to speak with her.

 

When she got down that evening, she was seen standing and talking to that unknown man at her stop.

 

The bus started moving…

 

He kept looking at those through the window of the college bus.

 

He couldn’t tell her feelings from her facial expressions.

 

But his mind told him that something was about to go wrong.

 

Telling the bus to stop, he also got off and walked to her stop.

 

She was still talking to him.

 

But now her face was red with tears of anger.

 

Mathi went to her and called Maha and she turned around and saw Mathii and she breathed a sigh of relief.

 

“Hey relax it’s me… is there a problem Maha??” Mathi stared at the unknown man and asked,

 

Maha looked at the unknown man and said, “I didn’t ask anyone to make love… This is my aunt’s boy… I decided to marry him at some point in our house… This is what I have been telling you since then… Don’t disturb me anymore, she almost growled in anger.”

 

Hearing this, Mathi understood very well that this man was torturing her by asking her to love him.

 

Mathi understood that Maha is saying this to escape from this unknown man,

 

But after seeing the pain in the face of the unknown man Mathi advised,

 

“Look here Boss. I understand your feelings. People who were born for you should definitely come looking for you. Maha is not for you. Her life is not destined to be connected with you. I know that you have started loving Mahava for a while now. You can pinch the budding love at the beginning. It will not hurt much. It will not be too much. It will be very painful if it turns into a year and becomes a tree. So think about that. God has given a chance for you to understand right now and say thank you and throw Maha out of your mind.”

 

 

 

“I’m not bad enough to force a girl who doesn’t like to fall in love, boss. I’ve only known Maha for the past six months. That’s right, I’ve seen her at this bus stand. I like her very much. She was calm and quiet… That quietness, her calm nature attracted me and so i asked her that i will bring my parents to her home to ask for marriage.She did not agree. I thought Maha was lying about her love…” said the man.

 

“Then why did you follow her for a week boss?” Mathi asked him sharply,

 

“I hesitated to speak for a week . I went near her but couldn’t speak so came back, boss… I got the courage to speak today and it ended like this”

 

Mathi who heard this laughed, “I am Mathii, your good name sir??”

 

Mathi extended his hands to him as soon as the man named “Prabhu” spoke,

 

“Nice to meet you Prabhu. You will find a better girl than Maha soon. My best wishes for your marriage Prabhu.”

 

Mathi smiled and shook Prabhu’s hand, Prabhu smiled and happily received his greeting and went away.

 

Maha was astonished, “What is happening here?” She thought. She was listening to Mathi’s speech with her mouth open and stunned, and she was staring at Mathi, when he finally said that Prabhu would get a better woman than her.

 

Smiling at Maha, “Problem solved. Are you happy now??” Mathi queried.

 

“Mmm” Maha shook her head.

 

“I have come this far. Why don’t you call me to your house??” Mathi asked,

 

That moment Maha said, “Oh Sorry !! definitely .. .Please come…. let’s talk and walk” and both of them started walking towards her house.

 

“Sorry, I told such a lie without asking you,” she bowed her head in guilt.

 

“Thank you so much for not taking advantage of it,” she said.

 

“That’s OK. You’re welcome,” Mathii said

 

“Are you afraid of your father or mother??” he asked.

 

“No… why are you asking that??” – Maha

 

“Then why would you reject Prabhu by saying that you are in love with someone else… I don’t think it’s a good idea. He said that he will ask for a marriage proposal. You could have asked him to come home and inform your parents that you don’t like him. You could have dealt with this in a better way,” he replied.

 

“Mostly I don’t say this kind of problem at home. I don’t want to talk at home. A guy with a good job with a lot of salary and someone who is a little handsome and asks for a marriage proposal. My parents would convince me. Apart from that, I have rejected all the love proposals that have come to me till now this way. But this person found out that I was lying. That’s why I kept the same lie when you came, Sorry.”

 

Maha narrowed her eyes and spoke with guilt.

 

Mathi couldn’t control the small jealous fire burning in her heart at her calling that guy as handsome. He walked with her wondering why the mind was acting so strangely.

 

Seeing his calmness, Maha also walked calmly.

 

On reaching her house,

 

She made him sit in the front room of the house and went to the kitchen and brought her mother and introduced her to Mathi.

 

“Hello aunty” extended his hand out of habit,

 

He raised his hand to say “hello”.

 

As far as Maha’s house is concerned, her parents did not have trouble in having boyfriends. But whoever she meets should be introduced to her parents. They must be aware of it.That is their intention.

 

So when Kalaiselvi saw Mathi, she thought that he was a friend of Maha in college.

 

“I want to talk to you, Aunty. That’s why I came home,” he said,

 

Maha went to get juice for Mathi to drink, and came to the front door with a mind voice saying, “What is Mathi going to talk to my mother about?”

 

He was explaining the whole incident at the bus stand to her mother without missing a single thing that happened.

 

Maha was glaring at him with terrible anger, and in her mind she roasted him, “I would have said myself why do you telecast it now. Oops, even if you didn’t say it, I would have told what happened… but I would have left something and said what I had to say… I wouldn’t have explained it without missing a thing like this”

 

“What” her mother glared at Maha after hearing his confession,

 

“My god you terribly made me to stand wrong” in her mind she was growling standing there,

 

Her mother asked, “Why didn’t you tell me Maha?”

 

“I didn’t want to make you tense unnecessarily,” she said with a sinister face.

 

“Anty, she keeps saying this to all the people who propose. So don’t believe if anyone tells you wrong about her, and also threaten her a little… threaten her to come home and tell about this kind of problem to you”

 

Maha was giving a counter in her mind voice saying, “Are you threatening me? Do you think of me as a kitten to threaten to run away?”

 

“It doesn’t matter if he’s a good guy… if he’s a bad guy or a fussy guy and gets stuck alone, it’s a problem for her… that’s why it’s very important to be guided by elders in this kind of matter, Aunty”

 

“In our house, if a girl gets a groom, they don’t even look at her to get married. I have convinced the elders. The girl should study and go to work on her own, and get married after she gets the confidence.

 

So, I am posting my request here too, Aunty. I apologize if I said anything wrong.

 

Mathi concluded his long grand discourse,

 

Maha was muttering, “paahh… you are so good.”

 

Maha’s mother liked Mathi and said, “You have been brought up very nicely…I will take care of her ” looking at Maha. Kalaivani fed him well and said goodbye.

 

“Maha, what is this? Do you have to behave like a kid who gets complaints from other people?”

 

Kalaivani went near her and caressed her chin, “Amma knows that you will not do wrong to me either.You have thought that you can solve the problem on your own … but don’t do it alone anymore… just tell me about it and do it… make a promise to me,” after receiving a promise from Maha Kalaivani felt relieved.

 

Maha fell asleep just thinking about him.

 

When all passed and completed three months of training, their HR Dev asked their badge people to come to another branch office for their appointment order. (HR Officer)

 

On that day to report to HR…
