RiKara DRABBLE SERIES - RAABTA - DRABBLE FOUR UPDATED Pg ELEVEN

"May I come in sir? Gauri pleaded in a politely audible voice to the unnecessarily tall kurta clad man who had tied a weird kind of bun on his head and looked at the large hall filled with almost a hundred students. She was hell nervous ... it was here first day to college and she had messed up big time. It took her a good time to find her class. She was more than twenty minutes late.

Omkara looked at the pretty little wonder who was trying to huff some breathe standing at the door wearing and carrying all the possible colors of the world. Not just that she had pompoms and tassles on her dress. He knew had it not been the college and his class ... she must be a person extremely expressive and entertaining but with that maybe she is not punctual, she is late for class on the first day of college itself. He nodded and she stepped in.

"Bohot ehsaan kiya aapne humpar ... humaari class mein kadam rakhke. Gauri paused suddenly listening to her Just-Professors comment. She looked at him with a baffled expression. What ehsaan? Why did he say this to her? Is he angry? Is he being mean? And why is everyone staring at her as if she is Quantico returned Priyanka? Ugh! Too much. Gauri chose not to speak in front of her teacher and so with a lowered head she went to occupy the empty seat on the second bench.

The lecture continued and she began to scribble, there was nothing new in the way she was trying to understand what all was being taught but everything felt different. She has taken a step forward in her life, now she is a college student who drove herself to college on her new scooty, she does not know anybody in this new place. She will have to make friends and she has even worn a new dress today. Her excited thoughts were suddenly interrupted by the strict voice of her English sir and the continuous giggling of girls sitting behind her. She tried extremely hard to concentrate but the sudden ring of her phone disturbed the concentration of the whole class.

"Don't you all understand that cell phones are not allowed in this class. You can happily get out if you are not interested to pay attention. Omkara warned in a decibel higher and Gauri immediately stood up, after switching off her phone of course. It is all because of you Salman Ji!

"Aap ke tevar toh kaabil-e-tareef hai mohotarma ... Pehle class mein late aati hai phir aate hi masti shuru.

Gauri opened her mouth to say something but immediately the bell rang and the class was over. She waited for everyone to ask their doubt and queries to him and then when the whole class was empty and he went back to rub the board ... she walked up to him.

"Sir ... woh ... humara pehla din hai aaj, humme pata nahi thha ke class yaha ho rahi hai ... room dhundte dhundte derr ho gayi aur humara phone ... woh bhi galti se Baja ... pleaj humme maaf kar dijiye ... sage se aisa nahi hoga ... dhyaan rakhenge hum. Gauri wholeheartedly apologized to him and kept staring at his back towards her for a while ...

"Aage se nahi hoga sir ... She said and turned to leave.

Omkara closed his eyes with a sigh.
