It's easy to do mistakes but it's hard to apologise for it.

Kartik entered in the room full of people, basically students. He knocked on the door to gain attention of the professor who was busy boring the students. Yes,by teaching. Professor turned and looked at him with raised eyebrows but then his lips curved into smirk as Everything dawned on him. But still why not to play the game.

"Yes?" He asked like he doesn't know why the particular boy is looking at him and asking permission by knocking on the door.

"May I come in Sir?" Kartik huffed and then asked for permission to enter.

Kartik's question followed by whispering sounds of students who were curiously watching the scene playing in front of them.

Professor tugged his shirt up, adjusted his specs and pretended to see time in his wristwatch and then looked at The tall guy standing in front of him grumbling.

"Mr.?"

"Kartik" Kartik filled him in about his name.

"Oh!.So..Yes.. Mr...Kartik...can you please tell the whole class by what time this class starts ?" Professor asked him with smugness all over his face.

Kartik sighed heavily as he knows where this is going.

"Sir 8'o clock"

"And now it is?"

"8:45" Kartik answered nonchalantly but there was no hint of  playfulness on his face because the thing is he isn't a late comer. It's just that. He couldn't sleep at Night. Or basically his guilt didn't let him sleep. He was busy thinking the whole night. How that cafe girl would have felt when he talked to her rudely,No. Actually shouted on her for a petty mistake. Besides he couldn't stop thinking about his mother and that if she would have been with him,then how his world would be! But who makes this old Man understand?

"So,Mr. Whatever your name is. I must tell you that I have certain rules. And one of them is I hate latecomers and If anyone's late they have their place outside the class. Do you understand?"
He asked Kartik in strict tone!

"Yes Sir" was all he could say.

"Fine! Today I am letting you sit in my class because it's your first day but next time I won't think once before making you stand outside. Now! Take your seat. " he explained sternly and returned back to writing on board.

While the students sitting on first bench were enjoying the scene but students sitting on last weren't able to get that much of view. So they were utilising their time by gossiping.

Take your seat. How easily he said that. Only if he can see through his foggy specs that all the benches were full of the audience-cum-students. He was murmuring that he found a desk at last with a girl sitting on it. She was busy taking out her book but he couldn't see her face as her hair was covering her face.

He walked upto the last desk and knocked on the desk Careful enough not to make loud sound or not to turn on the lecture box again.

That girl tucked her hair behind her ear and when she looked up. Her eyes met by surprised ones.

"You" she literally yelled..Thank god that the professor was busy teaching so he didn't listen it. So much of focus. Kartik mentally praised his new professor. Before she could proceed further. Kartik kept his finger on her lips stopping her from speaking further. He doesn't want to hear another lecture. He was done for today!

Naira looked at him and then at his finger,He realised where his finger was..so he took off it immediately.

He sat beside her because he didn't want professor  to see him standing for long in his class.

"How come you are here"both asked in unison. It was a mere whisper.

"This is my college. My class. So obviously I would be here."Kartik answered her question.

"And this is also my college and my class. So I would be definitely here."Naira did her best not to hesitate in front of him and show herself confident. So that he doesn't hurt her, yet again thinking her A weakling.

"So I will ask some questions from you students about what I have taught you all today." Professor voice greeted their ears and they sat straight letting their conversation hang in the air.

Soon,The class was at its conclusion and all the students took a sigh of relief.

Really boring lecture

But Kartik was in a fuss, how to ask for apology from her. She was ignoring him like he doesn't exist. he deserves it though but still he has to say sorry to her,tell her that he didn't mean his words.

While Naira took her bag and walked past him. And he just stood there and saw her disappearing figure. While he soon saw his friend Varun coming over to him to pull his leg. And he knew he is in a deep shit.

••••••••••••••••
A/N - hope you liked the chapter.
Will Kartik be able to muster courage to  Apologize to her and if yes! Then how??

Thank you so much for all the love you are showering! Really means a lot.
