Thank you so much for voting . I'm really happy to have got such encouraging people  around ❤
So thought of giving a quick update:)

Here goes the next chapter.

A- before I get into the topic , I want you all to introduce yourself. Just name is enough.  So , you

She pointed a girl in the first row who stood and  spoke her name . This continued for the next few minutes where each one introduced themselves. While all this time,  shivaay kept adoring the sight being provided for him .

In the whole campus ,with so many classes . Why did  she happen to be his professor ? just at the right moment when he was yearing to meet her again !

The lucky breeze was hitting on his side , he felt joyous.

He was seated in the last bench , place - corner . Well , that was indeed an invisible den of lastbenchers  because the faculty can hardly notice anything happening there unless if she or he is tall . But now this lastbencher does not want to live in this invisible place as he want to  note her every actions , keenly . This place didn't help , thanks to the pillar like classmate who sat infront of him , long and tall . Shivaay sighed in misery and forgot that it was his turn now . Rehmat had to alarm him once again after which he stood up .

Witnessing her from top to bottom , completely.  He slowly let a breath held in his lung  , indeed breathtaking woman she is .

S- I'm shivaay .

Annika's reaction changed hearing this .

A - shivaay , that mentally absent one right ?

Shivaay had a nervous smile when he shook his head , negating.

S- no , I actually

A- it's ok . Sit down .

R - can you stop smiling now atleast?

Rehmat bent his head a little low and whispered .

S- did you notice ? She said my name now !

He exclaimed showing his happy face for which Rehmat narrowed his eyes into something small.

R- for your kind information,  she called all the 65 names from the register before few minutes.

Shivaay's smile deviated when his friend just poured acid on his lovely improvising thoughts.

S- that was for attendance,  but now , what was the need for her to repeat my name ?!!

Pointing his index finger on himslef,  he tried explaining .  Rehmat shook his head in horror .

R- I can understand . Yeah ,it happens .

S- what ?

R- I understand,  it's ok .

S- tell me what you understood ?

R- she's your first ever crush , you have no experience right  ? So obviously this happens , your heart would crave to find details concerning her . Even if it is of nothing , your conscious would want to find scope in everything .

A- silence!

She announced before stepping on dais and started writing something on the board .

S- no thank you for your clear observation. I really like this feel !

He whispered in a very low tone .

R- welcome to the world of Behind the crush , my friend!

Maintaining the same tone as his , Rehmat spoke a wish and shivaay just blinked ,happily  accepting it .

Rehmat was literally shocked on finding shivaay being so attentive in class . He started taking notes , drawing diagrams. Wait , even if she points a dot on the board ,he looks  so ready to follow the same . Horror!

She looked an epitome of what one would call a professor. Clear handwriting , dominating voice , neat diagrams , capable of explaining things so well . And as usual , she did point some students whom she found talking in class . But she hardly used any angry words  on them . Isn't it an impossible task for a faculty  , but she made it possible .

He was impressed to another level .

Her eye sight fell on every nook and corner  maintaining a good eye contact with everyone in the class.

And when shivaay got his turn , he could literally feel butterflies floating around in him stomach at times when she saw him .

He smiled everytime when she dusted away the white specks of chalk on her head.

Cute , he noted.

For the first time in life , shivaay cursed the bell when it rang .

S- hey Rehmat  , check the time table . Is there another biochemistry period today ? I hope there is .

He urged his friend who in turn passed a glare .

R- this is too much , hey Shravan ! Save a seat for me in your bench  , I'm coming.

Shivaay smacked Rehmat's head at once.

S- don't you worry , I won't trouble you this period . I'm going to the principal's office , to collect some certificates. Bye !

He jumped off the bench and ran outside before the next faculty could arrive to the class  .

' the sports event certificates have been sent to the library , you can collect those from there . Apart from that , I think I've given you everything . '

S- thank you sir .

He replied holding the file in hand.

' and shivaay , I want  an help from you . Can you distribute these id cards to the new staffs ? They'll be in the staff room -II .'

S- sure sir .

Collecting the bunch of roped cards from the table,  shivaay left to the staff room .

He exactly knew what ' new staffs ' actually means. An enthusiastic energy engulfed him when he ran through the corridors and stairs.

There she was . Seated by the left side , writing something on the papers and ...wait ! She wears specs ? Seldom maybe .Even that suited her well. God! He's falling so much for this girl within just few hours .

S- excuse me  ?

He called anticipating her to look upon him and respond . But all his expectation flew  to hell when some other male staff responded , asking him to come, while annika hardly looked away from her papers. Bad fate. Sighing,  he walked in .

Leaving each  card on the respected faculty's table , he saved her's alone to the last .

He was standing by her table since the last few seconds and all she did was just sketching some points in the book with an highlighter . He frowned cutely .

S- prof. Annika.

Adjusting the specs on place , she looked up at him .

He was struggling to control his emerging smile, damn it's uncontrollable!

Annika already stared at him in confusion . He was chewing and biting his inner cheeks to put off that smile on his face . He himslef had no idea why he was smiling .

A- what happened ? why are you smiling ?

S- uhh , actually I'm coming from the lab . I inhaled the nitrous oxide ( laughing gas ) by mistake.

He cooked up .

Hearing his reply, there appeared a light small grin on her lips.

A- really ?

He nodded , smiling even more wider . Now that he had given some reason , there's no need for him to control that stupid grin which happened to occur whenever he caught her in sight . Then he gave the ID card to her.

A- thank you shivaay .

She remembers him !! He can't be more happy than this . She watched him in surprise as he was still looking at her and smiling .

A- ok that's enough for now , wash your face and go to class . I don't think any other staff would like to see this so very smiley face of your's while taking class .

Giving this advice she bent her head to concentrate on the book again , he muttered a thank you and left from there happily.

So she likes my smiley face then ? He thought . Details, his heart looked for details.

Meera looked at her friend shivaay in bewilderment.  The ever so lastbencher was now seen seated on the first bench,  just below the teacher's nose as the staffs would mention it . She threw a crushed paper on him , he turned .

S- what ?

Why here ? She actioned . He shook his head and shrugged to insist - nothing . But she already knew something is definitely not right .

Poor Rehmat for the first ever time in his life was found seated on the first row , that too on the very next period after lunch . He was almost in the verge of crying, he can't even have his tight nap now .

Friendship sometimes becomes so dangerous , especially if one is involved in a relationship or something like that.  And currently, when his dear buddy was experiencing some very first blissful symptoms , there's no way he can escape .

Annika wished the students and sat on the chair to wait for the other students to return after lunch  , it was her second period in the same class today .

She had her vision fixed by the door , when she heard someone's voice.

S - can you clarify  a doubt?

He was standing right infront with the textbook in his hand. Recalling his words ,she frowned.

A- you're speaking to me ?

Raising her brows she questioned while he looked at her keenly and nodded.

S- yes .

A- why don't you address me then ?

Ohh! That he can't.  He didn't want to, because somewhere in heart he wants to happily call her by name and not as mam. But now he has no other choice . Taking a deep gulp , he blinked once. And she was mentally smiling already , he looked as if he was preparing himslef to give some big speech for the audience .

S - m . mam

It was  hardly heard , but she approved .

A - fine , what's your doubt ?

S- in this topic .

He pointed something in the book .

A- but as far as I remember,  I don't think I covered this topic in class today . And how come you already got doubt in this ?

Shivaay stabbed Rehmat a million times mentally  . That idiot was the one who suggested this particular topic . Shivaay had no answer to give her , he just stood and stared at her innocently.

A- did you even listen to anything in the morning?

S- yes ! I did! You can ask me any questions from that.

He replied immediately while she smiled confusedly.  Why isn't he addressing her as mam?

A- anyways , I'm going to explain this topic today . So no worries , go to your place and listen to the class.

R- ahhh!

Rehmat winced and shrieked when he just received a punch from shivaay.

S- all because of you . Now what will she think of me ?

R- you're going super fast , what does she mean to you ?who is she ? Your wife ?

S- don't divert me now . I like her , that's all I know now . And yeah,  I am being super fast you know.  Shall I  call her .

Rehmat who had a cry baby face all this time, immediately looked at shivaay in wonder .

R- she gave you her number ?!!! 

S- no , but I do have her number!

R- how ??

Shivaay kept that smug smile on his face prolonging while he showed a picture on his mobile.  It looked like someone's ID card which had every details of that person.

Rehmat looked at him as if he had achieved something great .

Well, finding a girl's number is indeed a superman task . And shivaay whom he thought was just an KG student in this crush subject was  actually scoring maximum .

Shivaay himslef was surprised with these maniac type activities of his .

Kara fankara kab aaye re
Kara fankara tarsaye re ho...
Fankara kab aye re,
Tarsaye re

He smiled hearing her caller tune until,

A- hello .

Shivaay remained frozen for Rehmat patted him from side . But he was immobile.

A - hello  , who's this ?

What will he speak ? With some sort of crucial eagerness he had swiped the green button but now he really was tongue tied . What can he even speak to her ?!

A- hello ?

Beep .

She hung up .

R- what are you upto ? Blank calls ? Seriously? That's very old fashioned .

Rehmat already guessed that his friend has turned  truly mad after witnessing shivaay's pink face .

S- I...I really like her .

Rehmat hit his palm on his face and turned away. 

Better take a bus and reach home than to travel with this man  , Rehmat decided.

What a plot twist you were 🌙

Precap

S- don't tell me you're married .

A- what's with that ' don't tell me' ?
