A music. A beautiful recitation of his favorite surah. A unearthly tune. That's what was going through Waafi's mind when he heard her beautiful voice for the first time. They briefly met few days ago. But today on their first class, he finally heard her speak. That too, with him.

She came late for the first class. His eyes were searching her all along. He didn't want to admit but he felt a little disappointed. But after 15minutes into the class when she entered the class from the backdoor, he instantly saw her. Of course, he was sitting on the last bench that's why. He couldn't stop himself from smiling at her disheveled state. Her hijab was loosely clad and she had not worn kajal like previous day. It looked like she woke up late. It was 7am class after all. She had sat beside him but still she hadn't acknowledged it. She was panting hard and her head was now down to the desk.

Waafi quickly grabbed his water flask and placed on the desk in front of her. She murmured a 'Thank you' and started drinking. And she drank it all. Maybe then she realized.
"Oops! I am sorry..." As soon as she glanced at him, she froze. Literally froze. Hands on the air and mouth slightly open.

Waafi chuckled at that. Although her voice had also mesmerized him. He tried not to look so affected by it.
"It's okay. I will fill it up again from the library."

Hearing his calm voice Rayna regained her posture. She tried to smile a little but looked like a grimace. Waafi frowned. Maybe she was still embarrassed about the incident. He wanted to assure her but he thought it would be better to keep shut. He continued to listen to the lecture.
But her mere presence was enough to break his concentration. She opened her notebook to write the lectures.
Waafi coughed.
"Umm, Miss said she will provide us with sheets of today's lecture. We don't have to copy it."

She nodded without looking at him. She had never sat with a boy before. Well, they were sitting on chairs so basically there was few inches gap but still she was really nervous. Besides she couldn't get over the past encounter. When she saw him today for the first time in a apron, she was shook. He was looking all too gorgeous in the white apron. So she preferred not to look at him so much.

"So freshers, how did you like your first ever lecture in this medical college?" A sweet looking teacher asked after the class ended.
All chorused 'Wonderful!'

"Now time for my intro. I am Dr Kaniz Sultana. Assistant professor of the department of anatomy. Nice to meet you all. Now take the lecture sheets and take copies from the nearby shop."

Then she left the class and a clerk came there with routine and group dividing papers. Waafi was dying to know Rayna's name. She was still a nameless person to him. He didn't want that. But he also couldn't muster courage to ask her.
Rayna was also fidgeting in her chair, feeling the occasional glance Waafi was giving her. But she dared not to look at him. She was saved from this awkwardness by a student sitting behind her. It was a bubbly looking girl with a crazily curly hair.
"Hi! I am Naznin. But you can call me Naz. What's yours?"

"Rayna. Nice to meet you Naz." They shook hands. Finally, she found a female friend.

Waafi mentally fist pumped. He got her name without even asking. Rayna. A beautiful name for a beautiful voice. When they were chattering Waafi got up from his benches and fetched the routines and papers. He brought an extra for Rayna and while passing through her seat, he casually kept those on her desk. She didn't notice though.

Rayna was feeling so lighter now.  The brown eyed boy was so helpful but it was all new to her. She was still not used to boy friends. Friends that are boys. But now with Naz she was extremely comfortable.

"So what's your roll number? Mine is 12." Naz asked her.

Rayna grinned. "Then we will be in the same group! Mine is 8."

Naz high fived her. "Then be ready for some adventures, Rayna. Because this Naz here is a wonderful package."

"Okay I will be. Now let's go I have to fetch my routine from 'Mama'." Rayna said getting up. But when she noticed on her bag there were routine and group dividing notice kept neatly. But 'Mama' hadn't come to her seat yet. Before she could think properly, Naz grabbed her hand to take her outside.

"Come fast Ray! It's dissection period!"

Rayna immediately got excited. Dissection! They were gonna cut open a human body! It was her all time dream. Finally it was gonna happen. She ran faster than Naz.

"Ray you don't know the way to the dissection! You'll have to wait for me babe!" Naz shouted from behind her.

Rayna laughed.
"Oh and you know this place?"

Naz had caught up to her by this time. "Yes. I know this place like the palm of my hands."

Rayna frowned, wanted to know the answer.
"Another time Ray. Now we're running late!"
