Part 3
The Beautiful Intruder
The concert was a success and like always Maan was appreciated for his performance . The past few days he had lesser dreams of that girl , but instead of being relieved he was more determined to find her . He looked at the audience and just for a moment he thought he saw her amongst them . He looked at the letter in his hand and knew he better pack up to take up this new task . "So you finally have made up your mind to take this challenge , I am happy for you. I will be waiting ". Maan looked up at the huge building and the vast premises of the academy .
He straight away went up to the principal's office . There sat a young man probably only a little older than himself , he asked him to take his seat , "Hello, I am Samar. I am very honored to have a renowned musician like you as our faculty , the students will be delighted to have you ", Samar gushed .

"It will be a new experience for me to teach that is why I took up this challenge ", Maan replied . "I know the salary is nothing in comparison to your talent but ..., he was cut by him ,I am not here for money , I am here for my interest , if I find good students who are interested in this field I will happily teach them but I hate people who are just here for fun , I wont be lenient to them ", He said authoritatively. "Hmm then can I hear you play, He asked. "Sure, what should I play for you, He asked. "Hmm...how about any thing from Beethoven..., He smiled. "Sure, Maan said. Samar observed him while he was playing he had this calm look on his face when he played he really did love music but it seems he didn't enjoyed it. "Anything else, Maan asked.

Samar smiled, "That would be enough, I see that you love music but you don't seem to enjoy it. "I..I do enjoy it, He defended himself being caught off guard. Samar smiled at the young man before him and decided to let go off the matter knowing the stubborn man won't accept. "Then you can begin whenever you want to , the peon will guide u to your cottage we have for our staff members , my wife works here too I will tell her to show you around once you are settled and this is your schedule ", He said handing him a paper .
He went through the contents and nodded ,I shall be taking your leave then .Thank you for having me ". Maan was led by the peon to the staff cottage as instructed by the principal . The cottage was beautiful , indeed it looked lavished than any quarters he had seen in any schools .It had a beautiful surrounding. It was a double-storey building with beautiful interior decoration . He went up to see the bedroom to be huge and had a beautiful balcony overlooking the surrounding . The peon put down his luggage and gave him a map of the essential stores for grocery and other things . "Is there anything else you would like Sir ", He asked before leaving . "No its fine , thank you , you may leave ".
He remembered something and went back to the principal's office .
"Ahh , I forgot to ask you something.
"Yes, what is it.
Could you tell me where the music room is , I would like to prepare for my first day and practice some of my new melodies there , if you don't mind.
"No not at all you are free to use them , I use them myself when I am free, He said giving him a key .
"Umm , and if you find ...ahh never mind feel free to use, He smiled .
Maan thanked him and left in the direction where he was directed to . As Maan was about to enter he heard the piano playing , he checked it was half past five the students were in their dorms so who could it be . The curiosity got the better of him and he went ahead to check out .
He was greeted by the sight of a beautiful intruder playing , she stopped and turned to look at him and he was surprised seeing it was her.
Is it a dream...it is her ", He thought aloud.
"I am as real as it can get, wanna give it a try ", She chuckled .
He looked up to her and in a spur of the moment she pinched his cheek . "Ow...What the hell are you doing ", He said angered pushing her away .
"Just showing you that I am real ", She winked . "Who are you, He asked.She smiled and said,
Hi , please to meet you , I am Geet ".
