"Good morning everyone" I said sitting on the dining table.

" So little demon what's the plan for today. Whose brain are you gonna eat there in the college? Btw don't act much like a zombie there otherwise my well built name will definitely be ruined after all these years of hardwork you know ." Bhai said dramatically.

"Bhai stop acting like a douchebag straight in the morning. And yes for now I'm thinking of eating your brain in breakfast with strawberry ice cream " I said giggling

" Shreyaa mind your tongue beta. You can't call your brother a douchebag in front of so many people's even if he iss." Dad said giving a high five to me

"Dad what are you..." Before he could say anything he was cut offed by maa

"Enough now. You are all going to be late if you act like this anymore. So eat your breakfasts keeping your mouths silent aur aap kya kr rhe hain you were feeling dizzy in the morning, so take your medicines on time aur fir office jaana"

("Enough now. You are all going to be late if you keep acting like this. So eat your breakfasts quietly. And you, what are you doing? You were feeling dizzy in the morning, so take your medicines on time and then go to the office.")

"Yes dad you should listen to maa and take care of health. It is the most important wealth anyone can have"

"Accha theek hai samajh Gaya ab please tum sab mujhe daat na band kro"

( Ok I understand so stop scolding me now )

" Daant nhi rha h aapko koi. Aur hm sb aapki fikr krte hai isliye keh rhe h to apna dhyan rakhna,aur baccho wali harkate Krna band kar digiye aur dava lene ko mana mat kariyega.... so then maa I'm going now I've to prepare for my performance also." I said after finishing the breakfast

( "No one is scolding you. We all care about you, which is why we're saying this. So, please take care of yourself and stop acting like a kid who doesn't want to take medicines....So then, Mom, I'm going now. I have to prepare for my performance too,")

"Accha hai tune zindagi me kabhi to koi shi baat kahi & Wait I'll drop you there." Bhai said and dad along with me rolled our eyes after his words, nodded and I went with him.

("It's good that you've said something sensible in your life at some point. Wait I'll drop you there")

We reached there after about 15-20 min. I met my friends who were standing on the gate and went towards our classroom. We were all having chit chats about our daily lives. Everything was going well until the bell rang and the teacher entered. It was no one other than atharva.

"Hello everyone myself atharva mishra.And I'm going to teach you all political science starting today " he said in a calm but somewhat strict voice.

Just as Atharva entered the classroom, the atmosphere shifted. I could hear other students gossiping more like complementing him.Whispers and murmurs rippled through the students like a gentle breeze turning into a whirlwind of curiosity. Atharva, dressed in a sharp suit that accentuated his confident stride, introduced himself as the new professor.

"Whoa, he's younger than I expected," someone muttered, eyes widening in surprise.

"He's kind of cute, don't you think?" another voice giggled, earning a few amused nods.

Cute!

And THAT- asshole!!

My foot!!

Are they all blind drooling over him??

I internally roll my eyes accompanying a fake laugh.

"I heard he's got a PhD from a top university," a student whispered, trying to gather information amidst the buzz of excitement.

Ah......that's true yk

Meanwhile, Atharva's gaze swept over the room, his expression a blend of calm authority and anticipation. He knew the students were curious about him, about what he would teach, how he would conduct his classes.

"He looks serious. Do you think he'll be strict?" one student asked, their voice tinged with a hint of nervousness.

"I hope not, I've heard his subject is tough already," another replied, exchanging knowing glances with a classmate.

Soon he divert the attention of other students towards the board "Let's begin," he said, turning to write on the board. His handwriting was neat and precise, each stroke deliberate. The room was so quiet that the only sounds were the scratch of chalk on the board and the rustling of notebooks as students prepared to take notes. started teaching.

I decided not to act like I know him and treat him with respect as I do with other professors, then I started taking notes of it and soon the class ended. I was walking along with Abhishek all through the corridors just when he spoke

"Shreya are you fine? About atharva being here , after all this time" Abhishek said

"Yes I am and also I don't want to discuss anything about someone unimportant to me and ruin my mood bcuz of that" I said

"Ok I understand but did you ask him ,did you both clear everything. What happened that time and..."

"No and why would I? It's his story. He should be bothered to give an explanation. He left me. No he ditched me and it's not like I'm dying here for him. I'll live just as I have had till now, carefree. And everything will be fine"I said cutting him off.

"I'm angry at him, disappointed by his decisions but still somewhere in the deepest corner of my heart, I can't beleive what I saw and heard that day.

I wish I could remove those memories from my mind but now the only feeling I have ir my heart for him is hatred.I know it may seem harsh but that's what he deserves after what all he did."

"But still you should have asked na I know how important he was for you.you're just acting tough n all but .....Okay let's forget about him and focus on the present" He sighed and said.

"Hey did you see sakshi's hairstyle today.

It seemed like she went back in time through time machine. She had a hairstyle of straight 80's" siddhi said laughing loudly and coming towards us.

"At least her hairstyle has a character unlike some people who don't even seem to mind of their own."Abhishek said

"Ook okk now don't start bickering here." I said

"Btw Jaan did you decide what to wear for the upcoming function and our performance." Abhishek said being all normal not reflecting our past conversation

"Yes I've selected our outfits." Shreya said

Talking and discussing about our performance and other things about the uni and students we went to our houses......
