The new student was directioned towards third year and students were assembled in their working desks before the spectron as the class was having t heir building materials and construction seminars going in as their faculty left for an urgent work. Aryan was giving lecture based on precast concrete construction details while Ashwathi entered the class. 

Ashwathi mistook him to be a faculty and was admiring the way he was teaching when aryan sensed someone looking at him and turned to find a new student standing in the entrance . As he was student chairman he was aware of the transfer she got . he let out a smile and said " Ashwathi right ? get in "

Ashwathi shook her head and came in while aryan introduced her " class this is our new batchmate and turned towards her and said " introduce yourself "

Ashwathi looked at him and said " I am Ashwathi "

Aryan looked straight and said her to stop and said "I said you to  introduce yourself to our batchmates not to me "

Ashwathi got irritated by his stern voice and introduced herself and took a seat beside a girl .

The girl extended her hands and said "Nivetha"

she shook her hands and said " yaar indha sir ipdi musuda irukaaru ? BMC siraa ?"( who is this sir he is quite rude ? is he our BMC sir?)

Nivetha  smiled and said " Hey adhonnum sir illa Aryan student chairman . innaiku seminar sessions nadandhutruku avlo dhaa . And avan konjam apdi dhaa "( hey he isn't professor . he is Aryan student chairman and yes he is quite moody type )

Ashwathi looked at him and couldn't control her eyes from admiring him . yet she controlled herself and paid attention to the class . Nivetha noticed this and asked " enna first dayve sight adika aarambichutiya ?"( are you crushing on him on the very first day ?)

Ashwathi said " chi chi naa veliya commited apdilaam edhum illa "( hey no am in a relationship )

Nivetha smiled and said " ok ok " meanwhile Aryan completed his presentation and went back to his seat . The day went on Nivetha was talking to Ashwathi initially and somehow something wasn't settling well with her near Ashwathi . Yet she went on with the conversations as she was new to the college . 

The day went on and the sun started marking its departure in west direction as the time went on to evening . Charu and Priya along with Jagadish made their way to mess with their sketchbooks to clear their doubts . 

Aryan was sitting along with Rakshan and the trio settled in the opposite bench . Aryan looked at them and asked for jagadish's sketch book first . his sketches were neat yet the paintings were a bit clumsy . Aryan " nee watercoloura poster color maari opaqueaa aduchuruka water colour should look transparent so redo "( you have applied watercolour like poster colour )

jagadish " edhu redo va anna 3 hours pannen na "( what ? redo ? i did it for 3 hours bro )

Aryan "  nee night fulla pannirndhaalum perfectaa illana inga redo dhaa tharuvaanga so faulty solradhuku munnadi naane solre redo it. night roomku watercolour thookitu vaa epdi apply pannanumnu demo tharen  "( even if you had done this whole night i wouldve given redo if it isn't perfect . so before your faculty gives remark let me say it myself redo it )

Jagadish said ok and closed his sketch book while charu was discussing her works with Rakshan Aryan extended his hands towards sitara to get her sketch book. Sitara extended her sketchbook with an excited smile and Aryan looked at her sketches which were too good artistically.

Aryan " sketcheslaam romba azhaga iruku edhu redo vaangiruka ?"( you have done your skeches beautifully which was your redo sheet ?)

sitara pointed at her sketches on principles of architecture . They were instructed to sketch representing 7 principles of architecture . Sitara have done the same but she have coloured everything realistically which makes no sense in representing the principles .

Sitara " nalla dhaa varanjuruke en redo kuduthaangannu therla "( i did it well but idk why they gave me redo )

Aryan smiled at her complaining tone and said " avanga principlesa dhaa represent panna sollirkaanga nee ellaathayum realisticaa colour aducha differencey theriyaadhu . do one thing idhulaye patterns podu to differentiate and represent each principle . for example rhythmku flower boquet varanjuruka thats ok aana axisku corridor varanju vachuruka adhula panelling vara it will make that look more obvious "( they have told you to represent principles of architecture but your realistic painting made it look monotonous and it doesn't make any sense in representing principles.)

Sitara " ayyo aryaanu semma moola ungaluku muduchurure "( haiyo aryan you are too brainy lemme complete it )

Aryan asked " idhoda photos iruka unta ?"( do you have photo of this sheet ?)

Sitara said " aang iruke "( yea)

Aryan with that tore the sketchbook paper shocking her . he smiled and said " Redo means Redo. patch work panna asingama irukum marubadi vara modhallendhu "( redo is redo patchwork makes it look horrible so do it from the first)

Sitara glared at charu to which she acted as if she didnt notice and turned that side while aryan was controlling his smile . Sitara looked at him and said " ungalta poi keka vandhen paarunga enna serupaala adikanum . vara vara overaa panreenga "( i think i should hit myself to come and ask you . you are overdoing things )

Aryan" engerndhu vara vara "( can't translate a lame joke )

Jagadish " ebba saami idhu comedyaa na "( is this a comedy ?)

while sitara looked at him wierdly and twisted her lips . with that she stood from the place in fast movement and wore her bag with angry expression for which aryan was controlling his smile and asked " kovamaaitiya ma ?"( are you angry ?)

Sitara turned to him and glared and said " Aang illa kulukulunu iruke "( aang no i feel very happy ) while  she tried to go from there Aryan caught her hand and made her sit beside him to say " ok ok sorry sorry " by holding one of his ears which melted her yet she carried that angry face while he took a diarymilk from his bag and extended before her to which she widened her eyes and got it in one swift " enakaa aryaneyy thank you soooo much "( is this for me aryaneyy )

Aryan smiled at her and ruffled her hair to which charu glared at him and asked " enaku oru 10 roova chocolate vaangi thandhurupiyada nee "( have you every got me a 10 rupee chocolate ?)

Aryan said " sooniyathukulaam chocolate thara mudiyaadhu venuna konjam vesha tare kudi " yet he gave her another chocolate from his bag and started looking at Sitara who was immersed in eating chocolate .( i can't give chocolates to problematic persons . lemme give you poison drink it )

Ashwathi entered the mess with Nivetha and few other girls while nivetha looked at sitara and charu with a smile and they returned back the smile Ashwathi was looking at the admiring look of Aryan towards Sitara .

She couldn't hold back to her curiosity and asked Nivetha " Hey yaard andha ponnunga Aryanoda ukkaandhurukuradhu ?"( hey who is that girl sitting with aryan?)

Nivetha " oh adhuva 1st year ponnunga romba sweet . annaiku oru naal namma 5th year seniors ivangala rag panna sonnaanga . enaku ishtam illa still i called them both to my room. appo en roommate vera ooruku poita . ivanga rendu perum dhaa vandhaanga . adhum andha sitara iruku paaru seriyaana vaalu . naa situps poda sonne ellaam pannaalunga pannitu enake paavama irundhuchu aprom en sevurula bts postera paathutu pesa aarambicha aarambicha pesite irundha. indha charu saapteengalakkanu ketu saapdalannadhum kettlelaye maggi panni kudutha aprom thaniya thoongurennu annaiku en kooda dhaa stay pannaalunga. very sweet sitara akka akkanu pinaadiye varuva veguli "( oh they are 1st year girls they are very sweet . before few days 5th year seniors instructed me to rag them . i wasn't interested intially but i did call them as my roommate went to her hometown . they came and sitara is such a naughty girl . they did all the task given by me and then she started talking to me about bts after seeing the poster i had in my cot . then charu asked me whether i ate and she cooked me maggi as i didn't eat that day . they gave me company that day as i was staying alone . very sweet and sitara is innocent and lovely )

Ashwathi was irritated without any reason  still she managed to plaster a fake smile and said " adhu ok d aryanoda ukkaandhu ivlo closeaa pesraale adhaa thangachiyaa irukumonu keten "( that's ok i just asked whether it could be sister of Aryan as they seem too close )

nivetha smiled and said " hey loosu avan paakuradha paatha thangachiya paakura maariya iruku . edhum theliva therla aana as far as i know Aryanku ava mela edhum interestonu thonudhu . Enkitta avan college serndhadhulendhu pesnadhe illa avaluku saree katta theriyaadhunu sandhya busyaa irupaanu enna kooptu katti vida sonnaan avaluku onam annaiku . he always make sure she is safe and sound.summave ragging pudikaadhu avanuku especially when its her seniors yaarayum rag pana vittadhilla oruthan rag pannadhuku yaarayum adikaadhavan sevula serthu onnu vachaan "( hey idiot do you think he is looking at her like little sister . i don't know anything clear yet i feel Aryan is interested in her . he haven't talked to me even once since we joined our college the first time he spoke to me was to help her drape saree as she don't know to drape it and sandhya is busy with organising the event . he makes sure she is safe and sound and he already hates ragging and never lets any senior to rag her . he hit a junior very hard as he ragged sitara )

Ashwathi couldn't hold it anymore and blurted " apdi enna ivalta iruku bad taste "( what did he find in her . very bad taste )

Nivetha felt enraged for a second and said " inga irukura endha ponnutayum illaadha edho onnu avalta irukurdhaala dhaa avan avala apdi paathukuraan . vaarthaya alandhu pesu therunja epdi react pannuvaannu solla mudiyaadhu " she warned her and with that she decided to maintain a distance with her as she found her thoughts to be a bit toxic .( she posess something which none of the girl over here posess that's why he is looking after her like this . mind your words you will face deadly conequence if he get to hear these )

Ashwathi sensed that she spoke her heart out and said " hey kochukaadha nivi generalla oru curiosityla dhaa keten "(hey don't get angry nivi i just asked out of curiosity )

nivi nodded her head and started sipping her tea somehow she found Ashwathi a bit toxic and then she didnt get time to think more about it as she is gonna share room with her hereafter along with her another roommate Hema . so she didn't wanna be judgemental in initial stage itself . But Ashwathi's eyes were fixed on Sitara and Aryan while Aryan was listening by bending a little as Sitara was talking and laughing about something to him.

The time flew and Charu got a message in her mobile to find Vikranth's message . Charu's lips widened and this didn't escape Jagadish's sight . He sighed internally and saw her while the message read " meet me near C- space in 5 minutes "

Charu looked at jagadish and he nodded his head while she got up and said " seri anna room kelamburenda assignment innum mudikala Sithu nee jaggu kooda irundhutu class po illa ingaye ukkaandhu pesitu iru bye "( ok bro am going to room i didn't complete my assignment yet . sithu you either go with jaggu to class or stay here )

With that she left to C space hurrily and jagadish just prayed she shouldn't get into any trouble . She reached the secluded C space which is located a little away from their college premises on the way to boy's hostel and is surrounded by trees in 3 minutes . 

Vikranth was waiting for her and the moment he heard her bangle sound he laid her eyes on her to get lost in her petite form which was embraced in white umbrella cut chudidhar. His eyes sparkled a second and his heart was beating faster unusually to see her smile along with heavy breath yet the next second he smirked sensing that she is dressed in white just because he said so .Though he smirked he still felt a wierd sensation in back of his mind . 

Charu " sollunga enna dhideernu vara sonneenga "( why did you call me all of a sudden ?)

Vikranth said her to sit in the stone bench and extended a small water bottle ." modhalla idha kudi edhuku ipdi odi vandhuruka "( first drink this why did you come running all the way )

Charu looked at hi mischeiviously and said " aama senior order potrukeenga lateaa vandhu rag panniteengana naane paavam kolandhapulla "( yea you are my senior and you ordered me to be here n 5 minutes what if you rag me if i was late . am a kid )

Vikranth controlled the smile that crept in his lips and said " kolandhaya yaarma adhu en kannuka edhum therlaye "( a kid ? where is it i don't find any kid here )

Charu pointed her and said " its me "

Vikranth rubbed his chin with forefinger and said " illaye en munnaadi cuteaa white chudidharla oru doll dhaana iruku "( no . i only find a cute doll in white chudidhar before me  )

Charu felt her protective instincts kicking in as he intiated border line flirt and she straightened her face and asked " enna vishayama koopteenga senior "( why did you call me senior ?)

Vikranth slapped himself in his mind and somehow her straight face did make him restless and urged him to apologise which he controlled a lot . 

Vikranth " NASA competitionku duet dancela per kuduthurundha paathe nee ennoda pairaa dance aada ok va ?"( you have given your name in NASA dance competition right are you ok to be pairedup with me in dance ?)

Charu said " am ok with it senior "

Vikranth " ok tell me which style you are strong in i witnessed you dance kathak and it was mindblowing but am not so strong in classical dance . I have just choreographed in western styles"

Charu " I am a trained dancer in both classical and western dance so anything is fine with me "

Vikranth " ok appo i will select few songs neeyum paaru let's try for a fusion dance "( ok i will select few songs and you do seach few songs lets try for a fusion dance )

Charu " ok senior appo pesiteengana naa pogava "( ok senior if you are done with it may i go ?)

Vikranth felt his restlessness rising to its peak and he called her " priya...."

Charu turned and  saw his sincere eyes and he said " I am sorry if i made you uncomfortable . enaku .... straightaa edhunaalum solliruve thonirchuna i can't hold back anything . unna en favourite white colour chudila paathone doll maari dhaa irundhuchu. sollanumnu thonuchu  adhaa solliten . I am sorry again if it made you uncomfortable "( i will blurt out anything i think in my mind i can't hold back anything . i felt you looked like a doll in my favourite white chudi . i felt like saying and i did say .)

Charu smiled and only now did she felt a little releived she thought " cha paavam avaru indha jaggu sonnadhula naama confuse aagi edhedho nenachutom konja nerathula "and said( he is not bad i just got confused with what all jaggu said and got confused  in some time )

"sorrylaam kekaadheenga senior naa dhaa konjam overreact panniten am sorry "( don't apologise senior i did overreact am sorry )

Vikranth " its ok charu en past apdi you needn't feel sorry . "( its ok charu my past is as such you needn't feel sorry ) Charu felt bad for making him feel bad for his past and she said " enaku epovum past mukkiyam illa senior presentum futureum dhaa mukiyam . I trust you"( for me past is never important senior only present and future is important . I trust you )

with that she left the place leaving back Vikranth with a smile . This is the first he is hearing "I trust you from someone and that was indeed too special for him and his heart was beating fast even after 30 minutes she left . One of his friend came with weed role to C space towards Vikranth and said " Enna machaan patchi maatikichu pola "( what dude seems like the chick is trapped)

Vikranth somehow didn't like the way he addressed charu and said " eii patchi gitchinu sollaadha "( hey don't call her as chick )

The friend looked at him amused and said " epdiyum 3 maasathula un velaya muduchutu nee vitruva ponnu vera gummunu iruku naangalum try pannalaamla enna machaan "( anyways you are gonna abandon her after you job is done in 3 months . the girl seems irresistable we would also give a try right )

with that Vikranth lost it and helf his shirt by his collar " adhaan solrenla apdi sollaadhanu . "( i did tell you to not say her like that right ) the other person was afraid by his sudden action and stumbled a bit while the other one told " eii vidu da avana eppovum pola dhaana pesnaan . " ( hey leave him he did talk like every other time right )

Vikranth looked at him and said " inime avala pathi oru vaartha thappa vara koodaadhu vaaya kilichuruve . enna edhunulaam kekaadha enaku pudikala "( here after I shouldn't hear anything wrong about her . i would never mind tearing your bloody mouth . don't ask me why i didn't like it )

with that he left his collar and walked back to hostel in faster pace while the other friend told " ennada aachu ivanuku ?"( what happened to him ?)

the one who got scoldings told "unmaya love panna aarambichutaano da ?"( did he fall in love for real?)

friend 1 " edhu ivana ada poda "( he ?? chanceless)

friend 2 " illa machaa enakkennavo apdi dhaa thonudhu ivan activitieslaam "(no dude i do find his activities wierd)

friend 1 " apdi irundha seri dhaanda enguto nalla irundha seri dhaan "( its ok if that's the case only his happiness matters )

while these two were concerned about his feelings Vikranth was confused about his own feelings which made him smoke 3 cigars at a stretch . His newfound feelings were unsolved mystery for him . he murmured " its complicated "
